GEN. LAUMAN.
. Worthy Tribute From a Kentucky Soldier.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Seeing Com
rade w. w. Jackson's defense of the gallant
Gen. Lauman recalls my recollection of him ut
Shiloh. / was a member of the 25th Ky. and
the brigade To which we were attached be-
longed TO the Army of the Ohio, but was de-
tached by Gen. Crittenden at Calhoun, KY,
and sent 10 Gen. Grant, ut TT. Donelson The
brigade was commanded by Col. Cruft, of the
3lst Ind, aiterward Brigadier- General, and
well known in the Army of the Cumberland.
For some reason the brigade was placed in
command of Gen. Lauman on the morning the
fight began, and Col. Crnft took charge of his
regiment. / saw Gen. Lauman for the first
time just as We got into position Sunday
morning. He rodeup to our regiment, and told
US we would have hard fighting to do. lie said
he knew we could fight, and We would that day
prove IT. Whether we fought or not is a mat
ter of history. Five hours We were immovable,
but finally had TO yield to a flank movement
The second day after the fight, while we
were on dress parade, Gen. Lauman rode up,
and after the usual salutation by Maj. Wall,
then in command of our regiment. and him
self, the Major proposed to Introduce him to
the regiment. Gen. LaQman turning sauarely
fronting us, remarked:
Soldiers, Maj. Wall wanted to introduce me
to this regiment told him my introduction
10 you on Sunday and on Monday was all the
introduction wanted"
After complimeuting US for our part in the
action he galloped away. remember, he
talked very rapidly. and seemed to mean just
what he said. / am not sure. but / think he
emphasized his remarks with language not
proper in pulpit. but at all times excusable
in war. Our impression formed of the man
was that he was energetic fighter, quick in
his perceptions of duty, and would stay as long
as anyone would stay with him.
We were consolidated with the 18th KY i'm
mediately after the battle, and took our old
place in the Army of the Ohio. and lost track
OF Gen. Lanman until seeing the communi-
cations in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE in regard
to him. From his short stay with us we had
no higher regard for any General who ever
commanded our brigade than we had for Gen
l.auman.-C. A. BRAsHER, Second Lieutenant

EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: When the
rebels evacuated Corinth, Miss. May 80, 1862,
our lines were close upon the rebel intrench-
ments. When the Second Division moved into
Corinth IL had not proceeded a thousand yards
before their works broke upon the sight in all
their terrible extent. Only narrow but dense
strip Of timber had masked them from our
view. The position was high and command
ing. The trees had been felled in front for the
distance Of 300 yards, and formed into an abatis
which served 10 greatly impede progress. All
their artillery had been removed from the
works, but here and there along the parapet
were mounted the invincible Quaker guns of
Manassas memory, manned by stuffed images
dressed in rebel uniform. These wooden guns.
painted coal black, presented the appearance of
real cannon. ON many OF them were inscrip-
lions pcnciled for the gaze and wonderment OF
our soldiers when they should occupy the de-
ienses.--J. v. PowNALL, First Sergeant, Co. L,
