EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: see by THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE many interesting ac-
counts OF the exploits of our boys in blue, and
thinking perhaps you would publish an ac-
count of a capture made by southern Illinois
boy, Adam Stull, a private of Co. !, 18th H..
and who, by the way, is living about FIVE miles
southwest Of this place, who made capture
which should have place in the history of
the late war.
While at Jonesboro, Ga, on 3Ist of August,
1864, Stull, who was on skirmish-line. ran
across rebel Captain and four men in nit.
Bringing down his gun, Stull ordered them to
surrender. Thinking there were Others near.
thSy threw down their arms and came out.
While taking them to the rear skulker came
up and offered to take them to headquarters,
saying, l will take them back for you, Adam,
and you can go back to the front" After eve
ing him for moment, Adam exploded with.
" You can go to the devil. If you want any
rebels you can 90 and get them There are
plenty more where l got these" The above is
vouched for by dozen of Co I boys, and by
Stull himself, who never even tells about it
unless questioned.-J. c. FILsoN, Xenia. Ill.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Believing the
author of The Lost Army" aims to be his
torically correct, beg leave to call attention
TO two statements not in accordance with facts
as they occurred in 1861.
The author says that the rebels buried the
dead the day after the battle of Wilson's Creek
This may be true so far as their own dead were
concerned; but as TO the Union dead, how many
were left where they fell until the flesh rotted
from their bones2 Those who picked up those
decomposed remains and buried them can tell
rs as to the numbers and the length of time be-
fore they were picked up.
In the early part of November. 1861, I pass
ed over small portion OF the battlefield at VIII
sons Creek, and not far from as pointed out to
me- whore Gen. Lyon fell. / counted about a
dozen forms where human beings lay until
they We're decomposed. This was evident bv
the grass being killed IN the form of the out
line Of man, and in many places the hair of
the head, whiskers, and portions of clothing
were left behind when the bones were taken
away, to indicate, without doubt, that they were
left to tester in the sun for an indefinite period
Of time.
The other inaccuracy in the narrative is the
statement that the prisoners captured at Lex
iDgton, Mo, were paroled "not to take IN
arms until they were regularly exchanged" In
stead Of this they were paroled not TO 'again
take up arms during the war" which is alto
gethera different thing, and is the reason WHY
Col. Mnlligan was held by Price for some time
as a prisoner Of war, he having refused TO sub
NIT to a parole on such conditions. A good
deal Of trouble afterward occurred on account
OF the officers and men who accepted the parole
under Sterling Prices conditions, so that in the
Summer OF 1862 the organization engaged had
TO be mustered out of the serVice.-W, Nc

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: have always
been curious to know what battery it was that
came to our assistance on the 18th of May,
1861, at the battle OF Resaca, aud also the regi-
ment that came with it, 1t was at the old
burning log house across the open field at the
extreme right of Cox's Division, Twenty third
Corps. They came Just at the time they were
needed, for we were out of ammunition, and
were preparing to use the bayonet and to club
our muskets.
In reading the history Of the Battle of At
lanta," written by Gen. Leggett, he spoke of
battery firing on the skirmish-line. dare
say there was never battery planted any
closer under the rebels noses than the one
above mentioned; and let me say right here
that the boys who manned the guns were
heroes. have asked the question at the State
Reunions, and have been told that it was Bat
terry d, 9Th Ohio l.. A. If so, they will remem-
Der our little fragment of regiment and the
dead and wounded we left at the muzzles of

Sailing Under False Colors.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE; In your paper
of Oct Is, among the veterans visiting Wash
ington you allude to one w. j. Ferguson as
being 80 years sailor in the United States
Navy, an active member of the GAR, and at
one time Gunner on the staff OF Commodore
Bailey.
I regret that in this case at least Won and
perhaps other veterans of the District of Colum-
bia have been imposed upon. The NqraI Reois-
ter for January, 1888, gives this mans record rs
follows: six years and II months sea service
three years and 10 months shore duty" lie
claims to be a member of the GAR, but is
not, having voluntarily severed his connection
with the Order on or about last February, and
is therefore sailing under false colors.

command of the East Gulf Squadron. had mo

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Seeing in
your issue of Oct 4 an article headed Playing
Parson, the writer Of which was member OF
the gallant 147th n. Z, III speaking of con-
versation with the rebel Gen. Peck, who claim
ed that he led a charge with his brigade ut
Cemetery Hill, Gettysburg, on the night OF
July 2 1863, and came near capturing bat
terry, the Captain of which Drained one OF his
staff officers Just as the black-h fellows
came up and the rebels had to bet back. The
writer adds: l afterward learned that it was
Battery III, LIST n. 7. L. A., commanded by
Capt. Mink, that came so near being captured"
From the similarity of the name and the
number Of the regiment and letter Of the bat
terry, the writer most likely refers to me, as
had the honor to join the Artillery Brigade Of
the old First Corps in the Fall of 1863, serving
with them through the NIino Run campaign
and after the consolidation of the First and
Fifth Corps, serving with them through the
hard and bloody campaign from the Wilder
ness to AppomattOx. | am proud of the record
Of that artillery brigade. l do not wish to be
accredited with work done by them IN which
did not share. During the battle OF Gettys-
burg /, with my battery, was lighting at BaltI-
more Crossroads, Va, in a diversion III favor OF
the Army Of the Potomac and so the battery
referred to must have either been Battery 3,

Reynolds; 7th Me. battery, Capt Hall; 9Th
Me. battery, Capt Stevens; Battery B, 1st Pa.

job for those who came up under the accursed
banner Of the rebels at Gettysburg; for though
the old First Corps suffered terribly at chat
battle, the work they did thinned out the
ranks of the enemy and helped pave the way

tomae gave them on the ever-to-be-remem-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In my book
on Charlottesville and Gettysburg page 40,
Par. q | made the following statement in re-
gard to the battle of Charlottesville on the
second day:
The last line of our works was finally taken by
the enemy, who having succeeded in driving off
the Sd Ma, of the Twelfth Corps, Berry's left,
entered near the road and entladed our line to the
right and left.
As this regiment had a very high reputation
for gallautry and was q great favorite with
Gen. Hooker l made the statement with re-
greet; but it was copied from an official report
which l could not disregard at the time. [ am
now convinced that this official report was
founded on misunderstanding The follow
ing extract from a letter addressed TO me by
member of the regiment seems to be correct,
as it is substantiated by an affidavit from an
eyewitness:
found that the regiment was in charge of Lieut.
Col. q. p Robinson on that day, and that he was
wounded while the enemy were advancing, which
left the regiment without head. The enemy APP
peared In large column in their front and were
engaged IN depioyng in sight close to their front.
While the regiment was delivering their fire, Il
staff officer rode up in rear and asked who was in
command. Not receiving any information. he or
deTed them to get out OF the way, as Gen Hooker
instructed him to clear the range for the artillery,
that they could open with canister upon the adj
vancing column of the enemy; that if they re-
manned they would be cut to pieces by the batter
les in their rear. He ordered them to fail back
behind these batteries ana act as support TO them
No officer Of the 3D. Md. gave orders to do so but
Sergt 3. +. McAivee, on the strength of what he
heard the staff officer say coming from Gen.
Hooker shouted in a loud voice: Third Md. fall
backin Which they obeyed in good order, taking
q position in rear of the batteries as 3 support led
there by the staff officer They were barely out of
range when the guns opened and raked the posi-
ton they had previously held.
