Exit Duck Pond.


With the ripening grain and the sloshing
Of campaign orators voices, the duck ponds
on Court street, cherished as foot baths for
many moons by the denziens Of the court
house and the giant buildings across the
street, have taken wings onto themselves and
sped silently away, without even casting an
anchor to the windward After serving in
the duel capacity for free baths and artif
cial lakes for the street gamins and jim
Cross, they have been swept out Of sight as
completely as though swallowed up by q
New Jersey canning factory, The cutters,
too, that stood SO high above the street that
they could not get wet, have also assumed q
humber station, and no longer perch them-
selves above their fellows in naughty pride,
Fact Is, rather than take the mountain TO
Mohamet, by raising the street, the city Of
Ottawa decided 10 do the other thing, and
on Tuesday Alderman Hull set gang Of
men to work and lowered the cutters from
two to two and half inohes to the level OF
Court street, which has been sprinkled with
coat OF gravel and everything is as joyou,
- corn famine in Egypt.

passed through here on Wednesday morning
with Jim O'Connor, COW boy horse thief
and bad man from Bodie generally, on his
way to Joliet to land his charge in the peni-
Tertiary for three years stay. The sheriff

until when near Des Moines the prisoner
leaped through the car window and escaped.
The train went on several miles before the
sheriff could have its progress stopped. and
when hs returned to the place where the
prisoner had made the daring jump, he
found instead of mangled body, boot tracks
leading of toward neighboring corn field.
He recovered the prisoner twelve miles from
his place Of escape, and he now langushes
in the penitentiary.

CatIett,s Station,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As a regular
reader aud patron Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
i have been much interested in the articles
written by Maj. j.-Gen. Pope on the second Bull
Run campaign. Even at this late day it is
very proper that the shameful conduct Of Nc
Clelan, Porter, Franklin ct al. in their con-
spiracy to defeat Gen. Pope, should have wide
publicity. 1t is about all the punishment they
are likely to get.
My attention was especially called to Gen..
Pope's denunciation of the train guards for
their conduct at CatIett's Station when attack
ed by Stuart's cavalry. His structures were
undoubtedly just when applied to the detach-
ment in charge of his headquarter wagons !;
but Justice requires it to be said that many
other guards drove the cavalry away and pre-
served their trains intact. This was the case
with the guard Of Gibbons Brigade, of Mellow
ells Corps. Although attacked three different
times during the night, the rebels were each
time repuised, leaving one killed and several
wounded the field. The attack came very
suddenly, and was entirely unlocked for. TO
show its demoralizing effects, this instance is
given: The guard was made up of invalids
and men unable to march. One of these, a
Corporal Of Co. A, 10Th Ind, had to be assisted
into the wagon when we moved he was SO fee
BILE. When the attack came he made his way
to Manassas in remarkably short time, on foot.

Shiloh's Bloody Field.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There has
been so much said about the part taken by
Buell's army at the battle of Shiloh that one
not posted would be led to believe that we
were not there at all. For the benefit of such
! will speak of the part taken by the Second
Division, Twentieth Corps, commanded by
Gen. McCook. The position it held was the
vital one of the army-the main Corinth road
leading to Pittsburg Landing, and once in
their possession victory would almost certainly
have perched upon the rebel banners; but the
steady yalor and firm bearing of its troops re-
pulsed each struggle of the foe and stamped
upon him most remorselessly the iron heel of
defeat.
Nor was the handsome conduct of the divis-
ion unacknowledged. Gen. Sherman, in his
official report Of the action, said: g am or
dered by Gen. Grant to give personal credit
where it is due, and eensure where think it
merited. | concede that Gen. McCooks splen-
did division from Kentucky drove back the
enemy along the Corinth road, which was the
great central line of this battle. In front of
Gen. McCook's Division, where the contest had
been most bloody, there were buried next day
ESQ rebel dead; there where they fell fighting
with strange zeal in their wicked cause"
l think this Will be sufficient to prove that
the Army Of the Tennessee did not do all the
fighting, or all the killing either. | would
like to hear from some more of the old Second
Division, and have them speak right out in
meeting. Come boys, wake up; have you
forgotten old Fatty" as We used to call him ?

The 18Th 4. Y. independent Battery.

EDITOR NATIONAL. TRIBUNE: Referring to
your issue Of the 18th, where you answer Chas.
Brooke. BaraboO, Wis, as to the organization,
officers, and service of the 10th n. Y. battery,
your statement does an injustice 10 that organ
ization. ] will give you my knowledge of that
battery. I enlisted Dec. 8, 1861, at Bingham
ton, n. Y. There were so members of the bat
terry in barracks in an unfinished paper-miil on
the opposite side of the river from where the
waterworks now stand. The battery was then
known as Dickinson Light Artillery, and Milon
w. Lock was Captain We continued to recruit
and drill there until the 10th day of March,
1862. when we were ordered to Washington. d.
G. On our arrival at the Capital we were quar-
tered in a brick building just across the street
from the Capitol, for few days, then went to
Camp Barry, where, on March q, 1862, we re-
ceived the designation OF the 10th n. Y. Inde-
pendent battery. We camped in various places
in the defense Of Washington until the lst of
July, 1862, when we were assigned to Burn
sides Ninth Corps, aud proceeded to Freder-
icksubrg, Va, where we remained until the
last Of August, when we returned TO Washing
ton, where we remained until April g. 1863,
when the battery was sent to Suffolk, Va, where
il remained during the siege of that place.
From there we went up the Peninsula on a
demonstration against Richmond. Returned the
9th of July to Fort Yorktown, where we did
garrison duty until Sept. 5. We were then
6 to Newport News, Va, and were part of
Gen Heckman's Division. In December, 1868,
the battery Yeteranized and was disbanded,
Lock aud Hitler, as successive Captains, resign
ing.
In April, 1864, the battery was reorganized
under Capt. Il. III. Lee, and assigned to the
Eighteenth Corps, and Joined the corps in
June in front Of Petersburg, Va, and
remained there, taking part in many of
the demonstrations and occupying places
in five different localities along the line,
doing our full share Of duty until the Eight
eenth Corps made the attack on Fort Harrison,
on the north side of the James River Were in
this engagement two days, and saw some Of those
flags planted. Remained north of the James
River until December, 1864, when the expcdi-
tion was organized for the capture of Fort
Fisher, N. c. and we were assigned to take
part ia that affair. which we did as a battery
Of the Second Division, Tenth Corps. Remain
ed with Gen. Terry's command through all its
subsequent movements until the disbandment
Of his force at Raleigh, n. c., the last of June
1865, when we returned TO Elmira, n. Y, and
were mustered out July 8, 1855.
All Of this know TO be true, being with the
battery during the time and its Orderly Ser.
geant for the last five months of its SERVICE

headed "Caim of the Excelsior Brigade. y

the regiments composing the Second Brigade,
Second Division, Third Corps, as the 10th, list.
I'D, 73d and 74th n. Y. would like to ask
Comrade Saunders TO Inform me what brigade
the I20th n. Y. belonged to from the Fall of
1892 We had always supposed it was the Ex-
celsior Brigade, but see IL is not mentioned in
any Of the lists Of that brigade. Perhaps Gen.
Geo. III. Sharpe can give us a little light on the
subject. l have a distinct recollection of our
regiment being at the right of the plank
road spoken of by Comrade Saunders lin the
woods, and of the attack on the morning of
May 3, and after we were driven out of the
woods, Of being marched back TO the river and
back again near the Chancellor House. But we

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In THE Ma

Gle headed +" At Shiloh-To What Regiment
Did the Sergeant's Squad Belong2" Col. l. b.
Dodge, Goth Ind, states that on the morning of
April z a squad Of eight men, under command
OF a Sergeant, dressed in gray ZoUave uniform
trimmed in red, came TO him. The Sergeant
said they had become separated from their regi-
meut, and asked permission to join his regiment

their names, or what regiment the squad be-
longed TO. / claim that they belonged to Gen
Lew Walisce's Ilth Ind. Zouaves, ("I was
