EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have no de-
sire to lessen the services of any of the old SOL
diers. On the contrary, l would make that serv-
ice greater by distance of time. Circumstances
at different times and places made the action of
great many regiments appear cowardly who
afterward proved themselves az brave as any
others. In answer to Comrade Gates, of the
Goth Conn, viii quote from Gen. Dwight:

There is reason to believe that some of the regi-
ments of this DIVISION especially from among those

some cases disgraced their flag
In any future contest with the rebels fany of the
regiments of this com mand shall lose their forna-
ton or falter when ordered to advance will pub
licly disgrace their officers and deprive them oil

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / have read
your paper for two or three years, and De
Gress's battery has been recaptured a good
many times; and it took number of regiments
TO do il, by the number that have claimed the

! have never seen word or line from any
comrade stating why the First Brigade was
driven from their works, for where the John

road cut Battery a, LIST III. i. A. had two
guns south of the railroad and four on the
north side; those on the north the Johnnies
took with then when they went home.
Three regiments from our brigade were sent
to the left to Gil the space between the Six

regiments to hold the works in place of five.
The 57th Ohio was one Of the two that staid in
the works; the 127th Ill. was one Of the three
that were sent of 20 the left. VIII some COM
rade Of our old brigade tell us the regiments
that were sent away and the ones that staid?

BIZ A MAgsAcHusETTs MAN.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Having seen
a number Of communications regarding the
death of StOneWall Jackson, desire to add my
say to the matter. The man who did shoot
Jackson has not yet been heard from. He was
a private soldier of the Sd Wis, Twelfth Corps
by the name of Sidney Thompson, now living
at WATERFOWL, Wis. James r. Terry, of the
same regiment, was lying beside Thompson
when he fired the shot, and the powder burned
his eyes. Terry told Thompson that he had
hit somebody because he could see the commo.
tion caused by the shot, which appeared to be
more than was commonly seen by the hitting
of an ordinary rebel Thompson was the only
man who fired at the time of this disturbance
in the rebel lines. A rebel Sergeant who j:
working at Hoosac Falls, n. Y. who was pres
ent at the wounding of Jackson, says that this
statement is correct, as near as he can rem EN-
ber.-HENRY C. TERRY, Co. II, 9th Mass.

The aatI Ind.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: notice in
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE of Aug 80 that, in
answer to the question Of Comrade James r.
Brown whether Gen. Ben. Harrison is a rela-
ton of Col. Harrison of the 39th Ind, you
state "there never was such regiment as the
18th Ind" Now, in order to correct this, no
doubt, unintentional mistake wish to state
that Willich's Brigade, Of ,Johnson's Division,
Twentieth Corps, Army of the Cumberland, con-
sisted of the 18th and 49th Ohio, 32d and 39th
Ind, tho 69th Ill. being added later, believe
in the Fall of 1852. Col. Harrison was, indeed,
the commander of the seth Ind and we'll do |
remember the gallant Colonel. The 39th Ind.
participated in all of our battles aud skirmishes
from Rowlet's Station, KyS in 1861, to Resaca,
Ga. in 1864. The official reports of the battles
of Shiloh Stone River, Chickamauga and Mis-
sionary Ridge will prove that the 39th Ind.
was always at its postof duty. A more gallant
or better fighting regiment never left the old
Hoosier State to fight for theipreservation of our
Union.-HENRY HAERIEs,,Co. /, 32d Ind, San
Francisco, Cal. fr7 81
[The official Army Register, published By
the War Department, shows that there was no
39th Ind, that regiment being known as the
9Th Ind. Cav. We think this regiment served
for time as infantry, but was a cavalry regi-
ment at the close of their service. Col Harri-
son was commander of the 9Th Ind. Cav, accord
ing TO the Register. Therefore, it would appear
that our statement was correct.-ED. NATIONAL

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade Pres

the time Capt. Rand and three or four of his
company (Il were wounded mixed with the
firing at the time Stonewall Jackson was killed.
They were two distinct voleys, and were an
hour or more apart. ! remember them very
distinctly by the following incidents.
At tho time Capt. Rand and his men upon
the picket-line were fred upon there came a
few scattering shots, fired by raw recruits At
least this was the case in Co. *, and one man

turned to our regiment stopped and spoke to
some friends in the 18th Mass. and they sal d
that when the last heavy volley was fired Col.
Blaisdel ordered the regiment into line and
said, Boys, that is the old 1st / can't stand
it to stay back here in the rear. We must 20
down and help them" And they did come,
and were just the kind of help we always liked
to see-one that could always be relied upon.
Yes, boys, every regiment in that old bril-
gade or the old Joe Hooker Division, could be
relied upon in any and all emergencies. In
about half an hour after reoning our regi-
ment the firing that we claim killed Stonewall
Jackson took place. This was about II o'clock

give Them Their Due.

Dennis Persinger, Co. G, 9th Tenn Cav,
White Rock, Kan, was one of the refugees from
the loyal part of Tennessee who, in 1853, made
their way through the rebel lines into Ken
lucky and cast their lots with the Union forces.
He would like to hear from some of the COM
rades who once secuted with him and got badly
scared by the tramp of horses hoof or per-
son, when they would get into their holes. He
wonders if they are in these holes yet, as he
don't hear anything from them. Come out,
boys, and show your colors, and subscribe for
the best paper-THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
which stands up for the soldiers rights. Put
your shoulder to the wheel, and we will get
there in spite of Col. Matson. He says he can't
do without THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and is
sorry that he did not take it years ago, for he
has lost much valuable reading matter.
Charles M. Schwarzmaier, Sergeant, Co. ri
Sd Mich. Cav, and now member of Troop G,
1st U. S. Cav, Fort Custer, Mont, wishes to
say the soldiers ought to get those dollars
they lost through getting paid in paper money
which was only worth so cents on the dollar.
He remembers the time in the Spring of 1868,
when in Jackson, Tenn, where the dollar was
worth only 81 cents and the change was so
scarce that they cut the dollar in two to make
change.
