ATLANTA.
The FIfteenth Corps In ihe BaftIe.

To THE EDITOR: In reading over the account
Of the battle in front Of Atlanta, July 90, 1864,
by Maj.-Gen. NJ. ID. Leggett, notice several
errors. In the first place, he states that all OF
the Fifteenth Corps was driven from their line
except Walcutt's Brigade. This is a mistake
that any one who presumes to write facts should
not have made. The First Division of the
Fifteenth Corps, holding the right of the line
of the Army of the Tennessee ON July 2, was
not driven from their line on that day, nor
were they ever driven from any line during
the war, Gen. Leggett's statement to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
The facts of the case on this day July % as
to the First Division are, that on the morning
of the 22d our line was moved to the front 10 a
line of works abandoned by the rebels during
the night, and we established a new line the
right of the First Division connecting with the
left of the Twenty-third Corps. The division
consisted of three brigades, two Of which were
placed in the front line and one held as reserve.
Shortly after our new line was established the
fighting commenced to our left and rear, which
was at that time composed of troops of the Six
teenth and Seventeenth Corps. Shortly after
the fighting commenced the reserve brigade of
cur division and also of the other divisions of
the Fifteenth Corps were sent to the left and
rear TO the assistance of the Sixteenth and
Seventeenth Corps, and this disposition of our
reserve left us but single line of troops with
out any reserves.
Between and o'clock Of the afternoon of
the 22d the rebels carried a portion OF the line
of the Second Division of the Fifteenth Corps,
where the railroad and wagon road passed
through, capturing De Gress's battery of 20
pound PARROTS, but did not carry any of the
line held by the First Division. AS soon as
the rebels broke the line of the Second Division
OF our corps, our First Division was promptly
formed at right angles with our old line in
column by brigade, ahd charged the rebel
troops that held the line Of the Second Division
and recaptured the xne and De Gress's battery
The movement was done under the immediate
supervision of Gen. Sherman, as his headquar-
tiers were close to the line and at our right
and Gen. Sherman said at that time that it was
as fine movement as he had ever seen exc
cuted on the field of battle.

The Siege Of New Madrid.

To THE EDITOR: / have just read the arti-
Gle of Comrade Meilen in regard 10 the siege of
New Madrid. / know not what he saw or
what the 10th Ill. did, but do know that our
regiment, and, / think, the entire brigade
(Ohio), did not leave camp until after dark ne
night prior 10 the siege. We then hauled one
of the siege guns by hand, long rope being
attached TO the gun-carriage and the wheels
being muftied, and our orders being that no
man should speak above a whisper. number
of US carried working tools as we'll as their
Enfelds, and as soon as we reached the desired
locality we were set to work by details build
ing Notifications, which occupied most of the
night. When completed and the guns in po-
sition we lay on the ground and slept until, as
he says, aroused about daybreak by q shot
from one of our guns. But if we lost eight
artillerymen, then the total loss was more than
nine, as our regiment lost four before o'clock
a. N. Three OF them had their legs taken off
by solid cannOn-ball, and solid shot went
through the body Of another. l will never
forget them, as they were the first ever saw
killed or wounded in battle. About the same
time our Lieut.-Col. afterwards General) Wager
Swayne had his horse killed by solid shot
going through him, cutting of the stirrup
straps. The General had Just dismOunted and
stepped aside, thus saving his leg, which the
rebels afterwards carried away with a cannon
ball. After the loss of the men in the morn
ing we changed position into cornfeld, where
we were ordered 10 lie down, in which position
we remained all day. under a fire of shot aud
shell, and until about daylight next morning
in a drenching rain. / have vivid recOllee-
ton of those events, as it was our first cam

In pefen,e Ct lfe Nineteenth Corps.

To THE EOIToR: In The NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE of April % Breyet Brig. Gen. Reno, in
Boots and Saddles" conveys the idea that the
flight of the Eighth Corps disOrganized the
Nineteenth and Sixth Corps, with the excep-
ton Of Getty's Division, and that they were
demOralized. AS one Of the First Brigade, First
Division, Nineteenth Corps, l wish to say that
the imputation thus cast upon our corps is false.
No doubt there was drift-woOd in the rear
that was demoralized- as we'll as in
fantry, but / venture the assertion that there
was as much Reorganization or decentralization
among the Cavalry Division with which Gen.
Reno was serving as there was among the First
Division, Nineteenth Corps There was prob
ably no company in the whole army that did
not furnish at least one member to swell the
crowd in the rear but the body of troops of the
Nineteenth Corps were not disorganized or de-
moralized, and if Gen. Reno had been with us
he would have found that when we fell back
from any position that his cavalry would have
had urgent business in another place. and left
as fast as we did. am not finding fault with
the cavalry, but write in defense of the truth.
The Sixth Corps can take care of itself-H. A.

How the Dispatch,

How the Dispatches were Carried 10 Admiral Porter
TO THE EDITOR: On the morning of May 10,
1868, Grants army was early on the move to
get into line about Vicksburg sherman was
moving 70 the right and the Both No. was at the
base of the Walnut Hills. Co. A of that regi-
ment was deployed as skirmishers and captured
about 80 Tebs. About o'clock a. m, the regi-
ment being in line. the Lieutenant Colonel
called for volunteer to carry message to
Admiral Porter, who, with his feet, was near
Young's Point, at the mouth of the Yazoo
River. 1t was stipulated that the messenger
must be feet Of foot and good swimmer From
those who stepped to the front Henry l..
Buchanan, of Co. A. was selected. He was in
strueted to do his best to deliver the message
to the Admiral, and if captured to destroy the
document. Weknew the swamps must contain
many stragglers from the rebel army. As Bueh-
anan was not only man of known courage
but not ayerse to fighting, ne was sent on his
way unarmed. The details Of the trip / will
give mainly as he gives them. He at first tried
TO go down Chic6asaw Bayou in a canoe he had
found at the bank but soon his way was blocked
by an old barge he could not get around, and
he had to give up the canoe This left but two
courses Open-one TO return, the other TO take
to the swamp. Buchanan soon made up his
mind TO deliver his message or die in the at
tempt. As he says, he met little opposition ex-
eept from alligators, snakes and swollen streams
until about three-tOurths Of q mile from where
he left his canoe when he ran into a SQUAD of
about 20 rebels. He did not wait TO parley
with them When called on 70 surrender, but
took to his heels. Placing his dispatch on his
head and tying it down with his handkerchief
as he had started without a coat and had lost
bis hat, he was fixed for a race and thoughts
of Libby and Belle Isle acted as a spur As he
reached the bank Of the bayou they fred a
volley at him, but he swan across and got into
the canebrake before they could reload Then
for hours he lodged skulking bands Of rebels,
all the time moving as nearly as he could to-
wards the mouth Of the Yazoo River. At last he
reached the bank Of " Old River" once the bed
OF the IazOO, which called for a swim of about
400 yards. This he crossed about 2:3O D. m
The way was then comparatively clear An
hour later he reached the Ya20O River heard
the tap Of the bell on a "tinclad boat, swan
towards it about 300 yards, mostly through the
timber, and was picked up by boats crew and
taken on board Of the vessel. The boat at once
steamed TO the flagship, and at D. m, after a
trip OF eight hours and many adventures. the
news Of Grants victories was given to the feet
Hall az hour later the scene was one Of hustle
and activity. As the gunbOats and cOmmissary
boats moved up the YazoO River the question
OF feeding Grants army was a xed fact. Buch-
anan still lives, and his brave action has not
until this day been given to published history

Willows Brigade At gettysburg.

To THE EDITOR Col G. G. Benedet's arti-
Gle in recent issue Of THE NATIONAL TRIR-
USE upon the conspicuous services OF the late
Gen. Stannard says that the supporting rebel
brigade, under Gen. Wilcox, was next attacked
in flank in a most gallant bayonet charge and
captured in body by the 10th VT, under Col.
Veazey. Gen. Doubleday, testifying before the
Committee on the Conduct of the War, saws !:
" i would state that the wing of the enemy
which got astray was also met by part of Stan
nard's Brigade, which also formed on its flank.
and it also rctrcated." This testimony of
Doubleday agrees exactly with what we saw
with our own eyes. WiIcox's (rebel Brigade
retrcated, aud was not captured in body. We
were in the 18th VT, and after the repuIse of
the rebel charge were marched toward this
supporting brigade of Wilcox, which the 10th
had already engaged, and we saw them in hasty
retreat-E. 5. PIrKIS, Sergeant, Co. c, 18th

may open fire once more p
But the position of the Thirteenth Corps at
Mobile as described by Comrade Howard, cor
rected by Col. Brown, suggests a word upon the
details, proving the latter to be correct.
While the Thirteenth Corps was back at
Sibley Mills" states Howard. Here is my
diary. written on the spOt-a fact, notwith-
standing the fire opened on diaries occasionally
by the boys.
Fish River, Ala, March p, 1s65.-W Wrote a
letter home, and in the afternoon started on
toward the enemy; passed some pretty fair
breastwOrks thrown up by Smiths troops, two
or three miles from the river; marched fully
six miles, and went into camp. Distance, two
days travel, Is miles.
March Give have not vet started Dav
has just dawned. Sixteenth Corps is ahead.
We must be nearly opposite Alabama City.
Hating on q hillside.
Pioneers are busy down in the hollow fixing
crossing. The country has become quite
hilly-big hills, too. Generally there is more
ander0ruSh. The Sixteenth Corps turned of
to the right, about three miles back. and we are
now in the front on this road Skirmishers
have been out nearly all morning. Our move
ments have been slow on account of feeling for
the enemy. Passed several fires where out
posts had been yesterday OF day before At
one place in the road we saw some cOrnbread
The boys Immediately declared we were closing
IN on the rebels. The relation between corn
pOnes and rebels is very definite"
From this the diary goes on TO state the ex-
peTience we met on advancing still upon the
enemy. But enough has been said to indicate
the relative positions of the Thirteenth and
Sixteenth Corps. / can well remember how
secure we felt while the Sixteenth was still
ahead, and the easy comfort we took, without
responsibility. All changed when those brave
fellows went to the right on one road and we
took the front on the one straight ahead We
had the responsibility then. The statement of
Col. Brown is accurate beyond this. and the
only difference in the account would be such as
pertained to Gen. Veateh's Division, to which
we belonged
And the more / read Of what the BOYS say the
more / am convinced Of the folly of impeaehing
anybOdy's honesty or courage. We did see
things from different points of vision, and all
may make mistakes here and there, which all
should rejoice TO have eourteOusly corrected.
And the biggest mistake about this campaign
seems to have been that it took place at all. At
least such appears TO be case, as shown in Gea
Grants second volume. If it had been earlier
1T would have done good, but at the time it was
fought IL only secured what would soon have
been secured without the loss of a single life
