Fort Harrison Again.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I do not like
to see my old commander branded as uutruth-
full, therefore l ask a little space to contradict
Capt. Kinds, 1S5th Pa, in his account of Fort
Harrison, when he says that only two regi-
ments were selected to charge the works. Col.
Clay was right and it was the First Division,
Eighteenth Corps, not the Twenty fourth
Corps, as some conrade says But the 19Sth
and 58th Pa. we're the first to get there.
Capt Kinds says the 1S8th lost 100 and the
5Sth about the same number of men. He should
have said also that the 15Sth took in a full
regiment, nearly 800 men, while the 53th, all
told, not $50. / went into the fort as Orderly
for Capt. Clay. A. Belcher, of Co. A, and
were regimental markers, and the regiment
was formed on us. Capt. Clay called to me and
gave me his canteen Ito his honor be il said it
was full of water and not eommissary for Capt
Clay was one of the very few temperance men
in the army, and told me to keep close to him.
For one / am prepared To be sworn that every
word IN his letter was true from that time till
the 186th's flag foated from the works, placed
there by Capt. Clay, and not by Corp'l Graul
of Co. /, l8Sth and il COrp'l Graul has a medal
for doing So and he is true soldier he will
acknowledge he has no right to wear it.
know he did not wear it at Sunbury at their
first Reunion in 1887.
Capt. Kinds says it was not the fault of Off
GERS or men that the 18Th did not get there
first, but one of the fortunes of war Capt.
Berger and First Sergt Drell Irwin, OF, / think,
Co. q, 138th Pa, were the first men in the fort.
| saw them come over the works when Lieut..
Johnson was shot. Capt. Clay was down, and
the 58th and 1SSth were mixed body for one
hour afterward. ! was promoted to First Ser
geant on Capt. Cays recommendation, and
then to First Lieutenant, but was not mus
tered.
These are records which Capt. Kinds can
find in Washington, and l have the papers to
show to the public. Everybody should have
their due, and no person should attempt to
steal honors from man like Capt. Clay. If he
did not do as he says, what was he promoted
for? From the 29th of September, a. he jumped
from Captain to Brevet Brigadier-G General be-
fore Jan. /. '65, and we were in no pitched
battle after Sept. 90.
Come, Capt. Kinds, hunt up the records at
Washington, and tell the subscribers of The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE why all these commissions
were given to Capt. Clay. / say because he
was as brave man as Pennsylvania turned
out, and because he put the first flag on Fort
Harrison, and because he left his good right
arm there; and every man in the 59th must
say that he always was the man to lead us,
and we always got there when he said Boys,
follow me."-WM. Ii. BLAIR, First Sergeant,
Co. l. 5Sth Pa

The 11Oth Ohio at Monoencr.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: see in your
issue of June 81 an article headed " Frederick
town" in which the writer is in error, at least
so far as my regiment t110th Ohio was con-
cerned. / should like to give a detailed ac-
count of this little fight, which was as hot,
while it lasted, as any in which we were ever
engaged but / am in hopes some member of
my regiment possibly Col. Ohio Buckley
will send you history of what the 10th did
in this action. / will just say we left the
Army of the Potomac on the 9th of July, 1864
and came to Baltimore by boat, where we took
open cars and arrived at Monocacy on the
morning of the 9th (the day of the battle), and
were Immediately assigned to a position Just
east of the bridge, on the Georgetown pike,
fronting southwest with our right resting on
the creek at the bridge, and / think from 3
o'clock until this was as hot place as we
were ever in. Our company numbered 81 men
and two commissioned officers when we went
into action, and there were IL of US got out
without a Scratch besides, there were Just
three men who were not wounded who
were captured. The balance of them were
either killed or wounded. Our Captain
Hathaway was killed instantly with bull
let through his head. Lieut.. McMillen
was wounded and died, as did Wheatley, Hem
bricks, Truitt and almost all the wounded
simply write this that it may be known that
the 10th Ohio not only helped to cover the re-
treat in this memorable fight, bnt that we took
an active part and was in the hottest of the
engagement right there at that bridge on the
Georgetown pike in that wheatfeld | hone
some comrade who is better posted will write
up this battle.-J. IL MCKINNoN, Co. C, 10th

Hor nc Col PumpkIns at chaltanoora.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the Fall of
'63, while we were encamped at Chattanooga,
Tenn, we had some good times mixed with
the hard ones; and what seemed to be first ard
foremost in the minds of the boys was some
thing TO eat, as our rations were very short
All sorts of planning was done to procure some
thing to satisfy the gnawing of appetite. /
remember one afternoon six of us went up the
river TO the north edge Of town. We shed our
uniforms and swan over TO a large island
which had been planted to corn and pumpkins.
The pumpkins were so tempting aud such a
beautiful golden yellow, we thought they
would be so nice for supper; but how to get
them to camp was the question, as we had at
least quarter Of mile TO swim At last one
Of the boys said, ! have struck it," He took
a stick nearly yard long, and placed pump
kin on each end of the stick; the rest of us
followed suit, and taking the stick in our
mouths after putting them in the river, we
swan for the other shore. The pumpkins
foated, and we had very little trouble. We
must have looked ridieulously funny, for we
could not help laughing at each other; and
such a Taught IL sounded just as much like a
lot of builfrogs as anything / can think Of
The pumpkins were cooked that evening and
considered excellent. / hope that some COM
rade will see this and viii think of me, and If
we are ever called upon to settle for those
stolen pumpkins let us do it without grum-
hle.-A. b. SMITH, Co. G. 97th Ohio.

Cver-production Improbable.

Recent figures which have been COM
piled showing the importations of fruit in
the United States are of special interest
to this part of the country. Here are
some facts and conclusions presented by the
Pacific Fruit Grouer "The United States
imports 100000 pounds of prunes, T.
100000 pounds of figs, 100000 pounds
of laisins, 100000 pounds of almonds,
$4,000 carloads of oranges and lemons, $50
carloads of preserved fruit, 900 carloads
of other fruits, representing total value
of over S20,000,000 then add to this the
immense amount of wine which is i'm
ported and which can be made here, the
export trade in canned fruit, wines, etc,
already large, which may be almost indefi-
nitely increased, the natural growth of a
demand for fruit, as it can be supplied
eheaper-viewing all this, who shall say
that the possibilities of the Pacific coast
fruit business have yet been imagined even
by the most sanguine friends of the IN
dustry ?"
