member, 10th Maine, the time when we stood
in the rain, as hungry as wolves. on the hill at
Relay House, while our Colonel (Hayward) was
making frantic, superhuman but laundering
efforts to make out a requisition as prescribed
by Regulations that would draw" us some
thing to eat and. failing, you stepped up and
gave US your supper? do; and that hot coffee
made warm spot in the region of my heart
that never has cooled. and day, after SO long
time, l can say with enthusiasm: God bless
the 10th Maine!" The next Summer when
being marched hither, thither, back again and
around, we passed your bivouac when you were
taking your breakfast. You were standing in
line along the road fence, and emptied your
coffee into our cups and that is the last we
have ever seen of each other Now, if any of
you fellows ever come my way, if there is coffee
enough in the house or my credit is good for a

other old memories, you bet!-GEo. Stafford,

Gen. A. j. Smith.

To THE EDITOR: Gen. A. ]. Smith was as
brave man as ever lived. We followed him
from Pleasant Hill, through Tupelo, Old Town
Creek, Nashville and Blakely. And when we
say followed we mean it in every sense that
word implies, for he was always in the ad-
vance-on the march, the skrmish-line or
in battle, always to the front looking
after his "guerrillas" and leading them to
victory. At Old Town Creek l remember
little incident that might be of interest to some
of the boys who were there. As we came upon
the ridge at the edge of the timber the rebs
were retreating. The battery boys did not
drop the shells after them to suit the old man.
He jumped off his horse, sighted gun for
couple of rounds, and with one of his peculiar
winks of satisfaction, climbed his old brown
PAGER, and was off like flash to some other
part of the field. At Tupelo he could be seen
riding through the smoke, so dense that we
could only now and then catch glimpse of
him, and as he passed down the line of battle
cheer after cheer would follow him and rise
above the roar of artillery and rattle of mus
kerry. Hundreds of instances of this kind
might be enumerated to show his heroism-E.

About a SMnri.

To THE EDITOR: Our regiment (the 18th
Ohio belonged to Gen. Wallace's Division at
Shiloh Wallace's command was assigned to
the right of Gen. Grants line, and our regiment
was assigned 10 the extreme right of the divis-
ion-the thanking regiment. Some time in the
afternoon of that memorable second day, as we
were pressing the rctreating lines of rebels
through a skirt of woods, Gen. Leggett picked
up an officers sword and belt, which was, no
DOUBT, the property of some Federal or Con-
federate officer it was a United States sword,
good leather scabbard and moderately good
belt / having been appointed Lieutenant two
days before, and being without an implement of
war Of that kind, Gen. Leggett presented the
sword to me, with his compliments. Our time
being otherwise engaged just at that time,
speeches were deferred / carried the sword as
long as | was on line duty. and still have it in
my possession. If this should fall under the
notice of any comrade possessing any facts in
the matter to who lost the sword, would
cordially invite correspondence on the subject
either through the columns Of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE or TO me-. c. ROBINSON, late

The Casualties of the 55fb Ill

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of JAN 81
b. f. Gilman, 32d Mass, and clerk in the
War Department in 1867 gives the casualties OF
the five regiments which had the greatest per-
centage of killed and wounded in the war
he names the 55th III. as one, with loss OF
31S which is incorrect, or an error in figures
has crept in somewhere. The writer has the
original battle reports of all the battles of that
regiment excepting few light skirmishes
and the said reports give an aggregate of AL
killed and wounded. A few more, of which we
have no record, were lost. The wide discrep-
ancy of percentage between the other regi-
ments and the 18th Ill. figured on the basis OF
348 is positive evidence of an error in figures
as the percentage of each of the five regiments
should vary but little, which is the case when
the 55th Ill. has credit for the right number

Where Is that FIayf

To THE EDITOR: On the afternoon Of Sept.
], 1864, when the Second Division Of the Four
teenth Corps assaulted and carried the rebel
works occupied by lIardee's Confederate Corps
ut Jonosboro, Ca, there was battery at the
angle of the Confederate line, facing westward,
just south of thicket. This battery was cap
turcd, and, IN the rush and excitement of the
moment, l saw Lewis Wharton, man so years
of age, run up to one of the carriages belonging
to said battery aud jerk the battery flag from
Its position. He tore it from the staff and
whlrllnG 1t once or twice around his hand thrust
it inside his coat above the belt, saying TO me
at the timc g I've got their id old flag any
how; I've been wanting handkerchief for some
time"
saw the flag next morning as we went after
water together. 1t had the number and name
o. the battery, also the names of several battles
printed on its side. / have otter wondered
what battery it was aud what became of that
flag. 1Dcver saw or heard of it after the morn

The Sixth Corps at the Wilderness.

To THE EDITOR: write to answer Comrade
J. NJ. Garven's article in your issue of Jan. Z.
In speaking of the Sixth Corps at the battle of
the Wilderness, March 6, 1864, he says: 1.-THE
Sixth Corps was on the extreme right of the
army, and it has often been said that our right
! flank was left exposed on that occasion, without
any protection or any precautions against a
flank movement of the enemy. Whether true
or not, perhaps Gen. Shaler, Of New York, can
| answer" Now, in reply, would say belonged
TO Co. c, 9th n. Y, Gen. Shalcrs Brigade, and
at the time we were fanked our regiment was
on the extreme right of the line, and l think
our company on the right Of the regiment. To
the best of my knowledge Comrade Garven
| is correct, and have often wondered why that
question has not been asked before. We ex-
pected to be fanlled, and it was talked about in
the company, and i remember how l watched
the sun, wishing it would go down and dark
ness come, for l knew the enemy could not
move through the thick growth of underbrush
in the darkness. We were struck square in the
flank, and the first shot l fired was down the
breastwork to the right. They swung around
to our rear, and we had more than we could
take care of. We fought cur way back to a
clearing, where parts of several regiments had
collected and there the enemy were checked.
| We occupied a part of our old line that night,
but not all Of it. think there were some Of
the Fifth Corps boys with us when daylight
came though when they came / did not know
and did not inquire. Now / would like TO ask
a question, and hope some one can answer it.
On the morning of the 9th of May orders came
for cur regiment to charge the enemy only a
few rods in our front behind heavy breastworks
The underbrush was so thick in our front that
a rabbit could not get through without picking
his way. thought it was strange ORDER but
We went in, and, as matter of course, we got
! badly cut up. 1t was afterwards said that in
stead of an order to charge it was an order to
engage the enemy, which we could have done
where we were, without losing one third of the
men we did. If there was a mistake, and /
have always thought there was, whose mistake
was it? Perhaps Gen. Shaler can tell u.s. l al
most forgot to say that Gen. Shaler was cap
tured that evening we were fanked. l had
several invitations to surrender, but the
thoughts Of Andersonville decided me not to
| accept.-CHARLEs EDINBoRoUGH, 9th N. Y,
