The Hon. George c. Pendleton, OF
Bell county, who is candidate for re-
election to the legislature, is favorably
spoken of by many papers for speaker
of the House of Representatives. Mr.
Pendleton has plenty Of common
sense and fair knowledge of parlia-
mentary law, and we believe would be
impartial in the administration Of the
duties of the Office.

BUT ONE KIND.

Democracy is Democracy. There is
but one kind. The talk of "kid''
and "mossback Democracy"-as If
there was one kind for the young and
unother for the old-had its day, and
now there is an effort to draw line OF
distinction between those who are not
blind to tho faults of the party and
those who swallow everything branded
L" Democracy" Such things do
more real harm to Democracy than
the open assaults Of its enemies. A
man is none the less Democrat be-
cause he criticises his party leaders
and points out their mistakes, nor is he
untrue to the party in so doing. A
man may also vote a ticket which only
approximates the thing be wants with
out debauching his conscience. The
man who does not take anything be-
cause il is not just the thing he wants
gets nothing in this world. The phil
osopher always takes the next best
thing, and the people pronounce him
wise

An UnuaIatabIe Meal A. FIoreuee.

To THE EDITOR: Having read Comrade Fl.
Ramsey's account in your issue of May 20 of
how he made Christmas Day jovial by trading
his boots for a mess of peas while in Florence
Prison, brings wildly to my mind that same
Christmas, and how difficult it was to procure
dinner on Christmas or any other day in Flor
ence Prison. / didn't have any boots 20 trade
for peas or meal, but if you will give it space in
the columns of your worthy paper, / will tell
you how the blessing came, and how 1 was
made party to the affair. Comrade Stephenson,
of the 10Th Ind, and who was one of Col Iver-
sons squad of woodchoppers was out one day
chopping wood. He managed to decoy dog
inside of the prison with him, and after night
killed the dog aud threw the hide and entrails
into the brook, and carved the carcass up aud
divided it out with several of his neighbors.
He gave me three joints Of the back bone, with
about half of the ribs, which boiled with rice
and made soup. He was a rebel dog and was
tough, and was not very palatable until bad
boiled all the rebel out OF him.-H. MORGAN,

On the HaIchIe Once More.

To THE EDITOR: When / read my article Of
April %, 1856, in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, /
made up my mind at once that you had got me
into trouble, and the issue Of May % shows that
my fears were well grounded, as Comrade JAS
N. Barrett, 25th Ind, criticizes my article as
expected it would be. An explanation is neces-
sary. and give ii as follows: When my article
was sent 10 The NATIONAL TRIBUNE il had as
a heading: "On the Hatchie," but when il ap-
peared in print / saw another line had been
added, thus: The 10th Mich. the First to
Cross the Bridge" The addition Of this one
line, written by some member ofTHE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE staff will doubtless call forth other
articles criticizing my account of the battle Of
the Hatchie, aud in self-defense / shall be
Obliged TO lay the blame where it belongs, to
the Editor Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
IL Comrade Barrett had read my article of
April % carefully, he would have seen that
there was really no occasion for his criticism, as
he only takes exceptions 10 what said about the
18th Mich. being the first 10 cross the bridge, or
rather what the Editor Of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE said, as i made no such statement,
simply because it was not a fact and the OBJ
jectiOnable head line fatty contradicts what
was written in the body of the article, a few
lines Of which copy, as follows:
As soon as possible the rebs planted their
batteries so as 10 command the bridge. and be-
gan throwing grape and canister at such lively
rate that il was difficult TO find regiment that
was willing TO cross over and try 20 drive them
out. IiDO or three regiments crossed before they
fairly got the range of the bridge, and then
some others refused 10 CO."
Now IL IS hardly probable that would write
IN the heading that the 10th Mich was the first
70 cross the bridge, and then in the body Of the
article admit that two or three regiments
crossed before the 10th did. For aught know
the 18th Ind was the first regiment 10 cross. as
Comrade Barrett claims, and hope this ex-
PLANTATION will be entirely satisfactory TO him
and also 10 all Others who may be misled by the
head line which did not write. / have no de.
sire 10 blow my bazoo" in the interest of the

sixteenth Army Corps at Atlanta, Ga.

To THE EDITOR: / read with great interest
Gen. NJ. ID. Leggett's vivid account of the bat
tie of Atlanta. Ga, fought with such despera-
ton on that hot 22d day Of July, 1864 where
our brave and beloved commander. Gen. James
3. Mcpherson, FELL fought in that battle in
Gen. FulIer's Division, Sixteenth Corps, COM
manded by Gen. G.. NJ. Dodge. On the morn
ing of July p, our division was ordered up to
position on the extreme left Of the Army of
the Tennessee, and when we arrived az the
front we were ordered 10 stack arms at the foot
of Leggetts Hill, on the open field over which
the 18th Wis. had fought the day before, and
close by where the soldiers Of the 18th Wis.
were burying their dead comrades. And here
is a coincident worth noting. The 18th Wis.
were quartered in Weston. Mo-, together with
our regiment 18th No., in the Winter of 1861,
and on July %, 1864, the survivors of the two
regiments met again for the first time upon
battlefield as veterans, under circumstances
that did not give time or opportunity to but
few to know that the fortunes Of war had
brought the two regiments so near TO each
other again. From where we had stacked
arms we could plainly see the cannon-balls
shot from the rebel batteries in Atlanta strike
Leggett's Hill. One ball struck the hill aud
glanced over towards our company and shot off
Comrade Joseph Anderson's leg. ComraGe
Anderson is still alive here IN Weston, and
is wearing one of Uncle Sans substitute
legs in place Of the one left at Atlanta, Ga.
At about ii a. m. we heard brisk musket firing
towards our left and almost in our rear, aud
then the command, Fall in, Fall in Take
armsl Right face! Double-quiek-MarchI"
in the direction of the firing We marched up
a road that led through thick woods, where
we came to an open field on a ridge, from
where we could see the enemy advancing to-
wards our wagon-train camps" Our Cracker
Line" Gen. Fuller quickly formed his line Of
battle on this high ground and opened fire on
the advancing enemy and held them in check,
while Gen. Sweeny's Division Of the Sixteenth
Corps took position further on the right aud
charged the enemy as they were advancing,
and drove them back in confusion. Gen. Full
Ter held his position and successfully repulsed
the enemy's fierce assaults. At one time during
the fight Gen. Fuller ordered our regiment
18th Mo- to double-quick to the extreme right
of our division, held by the 9th Ill. We got
there in time to meet the enemys charge, and
opened on them with well-directed yolleys and
drove them back. And it was here in this
charge that the rebel Gen. Walker was killed.
And the battle of Atlanta closed with victory
all along the whole line Of the Fifteenth, Six
teenth, and Seventeenth Corps, Army Of the
Tennessee, and with brave Gen. John A. Logan
in command.-G. L. KURTZ, Sergeant, Co. K,

That Flag Of Truce Again.

To THE EDITOR: Comrade ~ Patterson, in
your issue OF May q, says, concerning the re-
ception Of the flag Of truce, that it was not Mai.
Leonard, of the 96th Ohio, but Capt Morris,
Of the 32d Ohio, who received it. Now / only
wish TO say, and that from very distinct per-
sonal knowledge, that il was Maj. Leonard who
received the distinguished officers and blind
folded them and took them TO brigade head
quarters (Gen. Burbridge's). Co. b, OF the Goth,
was In the trenches, Capt Leonard in COM
mand, when the flag of truce was shown. After
receiving them, Capt. Leonard made detail of
two men TO lead their horses, consisting ofSerg't
Geo Lohr and Private Geo. Werlich, both of
Co. b, Goth Ohio. i wrote an account of this
once before, but Comrade Wright, of the 96th,
could not have seen it, for in it / not only re-
lated the above well-known fact, but also re-
lated an incident that occurred ON the march
TO brigade headquarters, as IL was related TO
me by Comrade Geo. Werlich the same evening,
July 3, 1863. Both officers being blindfolded,
one of them-I do not now remember which
in crossing over some Of our rife-pits slipped
and fell. On being helped up and questioned
concerning the mishap, the officer cheerfully
replied, " Never mind; never did expect to
cross Yankee breastw0rks without something
happening!' Now there can be no doubt con-
corning the reception of the flag OF truce in the
minds of any who were there; and all of the
comrades of the Goth Ohio who were in the
rihe-pits July aud 4, 1868, will testify to the
truth of this statement, There is no guess work
nor hearsay about IT, for | was there and saw it
all.-JoHS c. TREssEd, Co, b. Goth Ohio 80

FIIntIoeks in one Union Army.

To THE EDITOR: In recent number Of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE comrade asked if flint
lock guns were used in any of the Union armies
during the late war, and the answer was no.
Perhaps the Editor did not know of that grand
little Union army up ia the mountains OF East
Tennessee, which rallied around the Stars and
Stripes in the Fall Of 90 and burned the bridges
on the East Tennessee. Virginia & Georgia
Railroad, and went into camp at ElizabethtOn,
Carter Co., Tenn. This little army was made
up of Union men Of Carter, johnson, Washing
ton and Green Counties East Tenn, and was
from 500 10 GOO strong and was armed as fol-
lows: Reyolvers, flint-loek horse pistols of Re-
evolutionary fame; rifles both flint and cap
locks; U. ). muskets, both flint and cap. They
were heirlooms Of Revolutionary soldiers, and
one company which had no guns was armed
with pitchfoTks taken from the stores, and you
may depend this was one Of the most dangerous
looking set of men / ever saw. This little band
whipped more than twice its own number of
rebel soldiers at Taylor's Ford, few miles be-
low EliZabethton, on the Watauga River, and
killed and wounded great many rebels, and
never lost man. and not even man wounded.
But alas this little band of Lincolnites must
be put down. The rebels reinforced aud came
with artillery, and those brave men and boys
must fall back to the mountains, and finally
disband and try and make their way in small
squads through the rebel lines-the nearest
Union army being between 200 and 300 miles
away. Many of these poor men were captured
and shot down or hung and many taken to
rebel prisons, where they died. They were shown
noquarter. escaped and made my way into the
Union lines, while many Of my comrades fell
by the way on the mountains of East Tennessee
and Kcntucky.-Rev. BENZ. q. WILSON, Co. b,

Both Ewes Shot Out.

To THE EDITOR: Josh Parsons had both eyes
shot out by minie-ball, entering just behind
the right eye and coming out just behind the
left eye throwing both eyes out of their sockets.
A rebel was lying close by wounded in both
legs. The two men struck up conversation,
the rebel agreeing to furnish the eyes if Par
sons would furnish the legs. By the voice of
the rebel Parsons found his way to him. The
rebel got on Parsonss back, and they went into
rebel camp together. Parsons begged the rebel
Surgeons to do something for him. They looked
at him for a minute and thought he would soon
die. They wet q cloth, laid it over his eyes,
and went off, Next morning one Of the Sur
geons came to him and took his knife and cut
both eyes out. To their surprise Parsons rallied
and began to improve, and is still living He

Genseng Diggers.

For the benefit of Genseng diggers
and Others who handle Genseng we
will give a few points in regard to
when to dig and how to handle it in
order to obtain the best price. Cen
seng Root should not be dug until
the latter part Of May or early part
of June, so as to give the root time
to grow and mature. After being
dug it should be washed clean and
dried in the shade. DO not string it.
1t sells better when not strung. 1t
must be free of tops and weeds or spu-
rious roots or Lead.
Do not split the roots or dry by the
fire, as such is of much less value and
often worthless. Large Roots are
the most valuable hence the impor-
lance of letting it grow in the Spring
until the LIST or middle of June.
