EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue
of March p notice an article, which states
that the poem entitled All Quiet Along the
Potomac" or g The Picket's Last Watch" is said
to have been composed and written by Miss E.
L. Burnes, of New York; and hereby assert
that such is not the case, for know that the
author is w. S. Holland, of Co. d, Old Buck
tail regiment. 1t was composed in the Winter
of 1861, when we were on picket. We had head
quarters of pcket-line in an old log house. aud
Mr.. Holland wrote the poem and read it to the
boys and a comrade, Joe II. Meek, sent it to
New Bloomfield, and it was published in a
Perry County paper. It was next published
in the Washington Chronicle, and afterward in
the Philadelphia Inquirer. There are at least
10 or II of the boys yet living who can vouch
for the truthfulness of the above statement.
1t was written at time when several pickets
had been shot while on their post by an old
citizen who lived near the lines, and was in
camp almost daily, and carried an oath of allegi-
ance in his pocket. Any information desired
can be furnished by addressing the undersi gned.

The Crossing nj Fredericksburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: see that the
comrades who are doing the crossing at Fred
ericksburg are little mixed, for the reason
that they forget, or do not know, that there
were two bridges at Fredericksburg, and an
other lower down at what was called Frank
Inns Crossing. The one bridge crossed little
above where the railroad bridge had been; the
other one, on which worked, was about the
center of the city. | do not remember what
regiments went over in our boats, but was al
ways under the impression it was New York
regiment. Co.'S + and K, N. Y. Eng, built

The 18Th Kan. at Prairie Grove.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: AS ! have
not seen anything for long time in reference
to the Army Of the Frontier under Gen. Blunt,
will speak for the 18th Kan, as l was one Of
the boys Some time ago l saw communca-
ton from a comrade in reference to the battle
of Prairie Grove, Ark, in which think there
were some errors; but it was correct in the
main points. Now, viii say, from the 4th Of
December, 1862, until the day Of the fight Dec
T. the rebel Gen. Hiudman was trying to get
past the Union cavalry south of Cane Hill,
Ark, and finally succeeded, on account Of the
smalness Of Gen. Blunt's cavalry force. On
the morning Of the 7th of December, 1862
skirmishng began south of Cane Hill, and
Blunts force was ordered out into position
about mile from town, where we remained
until o'clock a. m. Then we got orders to
start for Rea's Mill, distance Of ~ miles,
which was made in quick time, with Col. Weir,
of the 10Th Kan, in command Of the brigade.
The first order received was to go to the battle
field, aud of we started, distance of seven
miles more. where we arrived about D. m,
and Immediately went into the fight. Our
position was in the timber close to a small field,
where the 18th Kan. held their position until
they were surrounded, but not captured by q
| long sight.
The Johnnies came on in solid column until
/ they ran against the 10th Kan. behind the rail
/ fence; bat the 18th Kan. was not idle by a good
| deal, nor were they shooting off the tops of the
! trees Gen. Blunts men were also active as
were the men of Gen. Herron's command on
| that day; for if they had not got in reach OF
! Gen Blunt his force would have been annihi-
| lated, and the same fate would have befallen
Heron if Blunt's force had been little later
/ in getting there. The loss of the 18th Kan. was
seven killed and sc wounded. The 18th Kan
was new regiment at that time but it could
march with any of the boys, and fight with
them, too, if need be. The boys of the 18th
made their mark that day, marching 10 miles
in about six hours, and going right into the
battle without breathing spell. / do not
write this to brag of our exploits, but to tell
what know to be the facts in the case.-JoHN
