EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: Seeing differ
ent communications in regard to the regiments
that composed the Third Brigade, Fourth Di-
vision, Seventeenth Corps, / would like to have
a little of your space to add my contribution
upon that subject The first time l remember
seeing the Iowa Brigade was at Nickajack
Creek, Ga. to the right of Kenesaw Mountain.
They had just made charge upon the rebel
skirmish-line, losing several men. The next
time was when we were assigned to that bril-
gade, in November, 1864 when we started with
Sherman to the sea. The brigade consisted at
that time of the l1th, 18th, 10Th and 10Th Iowa,
and was commanded by Gen. w. w. Belknap.
We served in this brigade till April 80 1865, at
Powelis Bridge, n. c., when Gen. Belknap
severed his connection with US, addressing US
the following communication:

SEVENTEENTH CORPS. CAMP NEAR POWELL ,
BRIDGE, n. c., April 80, 1865
Lleut.-Col. GEO. II. ENGLISH commanding 32d Ill.
COLONEL; / avail myself of the first opportunity
that offers 10 express my regret that the necessities
OF the service require the withdrawal OF the 32d
H. from the Third Brigade, and to assure the offi-
GERS and men that by their prompt concert and de-
yotiOn to duty they have merited aud won my re-
gard. They entered this brigade strangers, but as
their friends we regret their departure.
The reputation of your gallant regiment when
assigned to my command satisfied me of their
character, and every day of intercourse with them
has strengthened my esteem and assured OF
their sodierly ability. For their services while
campaigns of the war thank them, and trust that
hereafter the claim of personal friendship between
US, heightened by time. may be not less enduring.
Please communicate the contents of this note 10

The memory Of every cOmrade of the 32d
Ill who was in that memorable campaign to
the sea and through the Carolinas reverts with
pride to its connection with the Iowa Brigade,
and especially do we remember the unselfish
and patriotic manner IN which Gen. Belknap
and all the Iowa officers and men treated the
men of our command We refer with patriotic
pride to 0gechee, Savannah, Columbia, Salka-
hatchie and Fayetteville.

EDITOR national TRIBUNE: I hoped the
controversy over who did the fighting or the
running at Franklin was over, but I see in
TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE of Oct. II an article
from r. c. Rice, Of the I25th Ohio, in which
he claims that the line from the Carter house to
the cotton-gin ran from the field, aud that his
brigade recaptured it pretty much alone He
understood, and thinks now, that at least one
Of those fugitive regiments was the 10Th Ohio.
whose members are described as new troops
having on white shirts. He is sure that the
fellow that saw the 10th TO the left of the cot
ton-gin had his head turned, etc. Now once
for all, let me say that of the 10th Ohio six
companies were to the left of the cotton-gin,
and the rest of the regiment nearly in its front /:
that less than 20 per cent. of the regiment were
on that part Of the line which did not run
away, but were forced back by overpowering
numbers; that at least six companies of the
I04th stood throughout the battle in their
places among the guns Of the 9Th Ohio battery,
and that no battlefield of modern times saw
more desperate fighting than that in front of
the cOtton-gin at Franklin by that noble bat
terry and the 10th Ohio, ably assisted by the
18th KY. Also, that if Comrade Rice was with
his own command, he did not sec either Gen.
Adams or his horse, and that both fell on the
works Of the 104th Ohio to the left of the cot
ton gin. Again, the 10th was an older regi.
ment than COmrade Rce's own brave 125tb
and had seen as hard fighting and had done as
good service; that a white shirt could not have
been found in the 104th, and that most of the
blue-gray ones they did wear had done duty
since April, and scarcely afforded safe hiding
place for graybacks; and last, but not least
that the official records of the battle show that
the 10Th captured more prisoners and more
rebel flags than Opdyckes whole brigade at the
battle Of Franklin. One word more: The
statement that the Tooth Ohio or 8th Tenn. OF
Wagner's men ran from the enemy, except as
they were driven by oyerpowering numbers. is
uncalled for, and ! doubt not that the 10Th
Ky. did as much toward restoring the line sa
any regiment of Opdycke's Brigade-N. A

1 agree with Comrade Nichols that it is time
TO call halt on these cheap heroes. and use
the space they occupy with facts and some
thing that would be of some value. The very
fact of the controversies over events that hap
pened, shows that all did not see from the
same standpoint. For instance, who planted
the first flag on Lookout Mountain used up
space enough to publish the entire history of
the war; and no one was any the wiser after
the discussion. These fellows who write them
selves up egotistic asses aud self-made he
roes, are probably more anxious now TO rush
into the columns of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
than they were to rush into the columns of
the enemy % years ago. / know that is the
case with myself, and although l am not all
that is left of the Goth H., have seen fellows
that were all that was left of other famous regi-
ments. Generally those who saw the entire
elephant were satisfied, while some who saw

Scarcely had Mr. McCOrville assumed his
duties before he was called upon by a num-
Der of well known capitalists Henry Hanna,
John Means, Of Ironton, Judge Warrington,
Thomas Paxton and several other prominent
gentlemen We're among the number They
were there in the interest Of Mr.. William
Means. Almcs5 the remainder Of the day
was spent in looking over accounts and fig
uring up Mr.. Means Indebtedness 1t was
shortly after ) o'clock last night when
Messrs Means and Hanna left the bank
building.
1t afterward developed that all Of the
money due the bank by Mr.. William Means,
was paid over, one check being given which
called for $3.50 This was not all, but
before his friends withdrew, every dollar he
was known to owe the bank was made good.
During the time that Mr. Means friends
were closeted with the receiver, Mr. George
K. Duckworth and Judge Worthington
called in to pay their respects. Mr. McCon-
vile had his hands fnll. The accounts Of Mr..
Duckworth could not be fully estimated, and
check for $4,000 was paid over on account.
The balance of Mr.. Duckworth's indebted
ness will be i'll readiness whenever it can be
accepted.
The first day behind the counter has been
sufficient to win many friends for Mr. Nc
ConVille. His straightforward manner Of
doing business and his frank, ready address
and affability won every person with whom
he came in contact.
The stockholders who are interes ted in a
reorganization of the bank had short meet
ing yesterday afternoon. There appears to
be some opposition to some of the stockhold-

Ceylon crocodiles suffer greatly from
ennui. They prefer to lie quite still,
soothed by the suns glittering rays, and
while away their lazy lives in meditation.
But when a dark brown infant with curl
ing toes sits on a bank and blinks its eyes
at them, they throw off their cloak of lazi-
ness and make their preparations for a
delicate morsel of Ceylonese baby hu-
manity. When the crocodile gets about
half way mp the bank the hunter, con-
cealed behind some reeds, opens up fire,
and the hungry crocodile has his appetite
and life taken away at the same time. The
sportsman secures the skin and head of
the crocodile, and the rest Of the carcass
the natives make use of.
This way of securing crocodiles might
be objected to by American mothers. The
American infant imagination might be
shattered by the devouring gaze of
healthy saurian who hasn't had
his dinner: but we are creditably in
formed by certain English croco-
die hunters that the average Ceylon
infant displays passive Indifference to
his advances, and that the only thing
which frightens him is the report of the
gun. If hunters in Ceylon could use

Land Jumpers at Salt Lake City.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 17.-For several days
past, land jumpers have been taking up
tracts of ground ON Arsenal hill, to which
the city has for years claimed title This
land was unoccupied when the city of Salt
Lake secured its patent from the government
under the general townsite law and the nu-
aicipality has ever since claimed it, The
jumpers claim that the city merely holds
the land as trustees for actual settlers, and
they insist that they have right to purchase
the ground at the figures paid by the city.
The ground is now among the most valuable
n the city. Yesterday a ten-acre tract in
he Tenth ward was jumped. This tract had
oeen effectively dedicated as a public park
and for several years past had been leased by
5he city to woman for farming land Over
5wo hundred acres of immensely valuable
property have already been sazad

The Territorial Forests.

Something can be done, and something
ought to be done, before the control Of
these forests passes forever from the
hands of government. In the territories
lies the sources of some of our great nav
igable streams Within them are to be
found the wooded tracts whose presence
alone makes the adjacent country fit for
habitation and tillage, and whose disap-
pearance would mark the establish
ment as a reality of great American
desert" Let the nation act with refer
ence to these while it can. Another inn
portant item is to be added from time to
time. There is yet an immense amount
of timbered land included within the
boundaries Of unopened Indian reserva-
tiOns. Never before was it SO probable
that, within few years, a portion of this
territory will be allotted to the IndiaLs in
severalty, and the remainder pass into the
catalogue of public lands. If these are to
fall prey to the lumberman, without dis
tinction and without reserve, the evil
effects upon soil and climate cannot be
averted. This will follow if measures are
not taken In due time for forest protection.
