The s9th N. Y.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / was much
interested in Capt. Groody's communication in
regard to the capture of HIPS Point battery
! think, however, he is mistaken in saying
that the whole of the regiment was engaged
as there was only detachment, and from an
oversight there was no medical officer sent
with it, The 117th N. Y, which was in camp
above this point, was ordered out, and lay in
reserve all night directly opposite the battery.
All the wounded were brought over and placed
in house occupied by a cOlored family, and
was the only Surgeon there. / had been to
Suffolk, and was returning in company with
Chaplain Griffin, when the engagement COM
menced. AS soon as | arrived | commenced
taking care of the wounded and sending them
to Suffolk Hospital. Ny regular detail who
usually assisted me in dressing the wounded
was not there, and | had to depend upon vol
unteeTs, and while engaged amputating the
right for private Thompson, of the seth,
two apparently strong men tainted, and had to
be carried out of the house. and an old cOlored
woman, who lived in the house, held an old
skillet filled with grease and rags, which was
all the light we had, as there was not candle
TO be found anywhere. If / remember, there
were between 20 and 80 wounded. This was
| Sunday evening, April 10, and the following
Thursday visited the hospital at Suffolk, and
nearly every one of the wounded including
Private Thompson, were walking about the
ward.
One reason the above facts were so forcbly
impressed upon my memory is that on my re-
turn from Suffolk on Thursday evening, where
/ had been TO obtain medical stores, | was
thrown from my horse and seriously injured in
my left side and shoulder, and received rup-
ture on my right side.-H. w. CARPENTER,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The Ma
TIoEAL TRIBUNE of April 10 has an article in
tended, no doubt, by its author, Comrade Clark,
I'd Pa, to show up Lieut. Soule, of the 1st
Mich, as a preyaricatOr. He goes into his story
in matter-of-fact way that emboldens me TO
give some points in connection with the mat
ter
The writer of this was born just three-quar-
ters of mile north by east from the haunted
hill, 40 years ago next month. l cannot re-
member time when the place did not have a
mounted ghost" His mount was very ordi-
nary, too, being little sorrel pony. / have
no doubt Lieut.. Soule saw the same old pony,
and | think it very likely he looked II or Is
feet high, same as he used to look to us boys
long ago. He always appeared on the second
or third night in each month 1t was never
definitely known where he put up" the other
nights in the month; but I viii venture to say,
that if Lieut.. Soule will examine his records he
will find that he shot at his mounted ghost "
on one or the other of those dates, and am
inclined to think it was Z" the other"
Clark's story of the Blaines is the merest
bosh. The entire Blaine family and some of
their neighbors were killed by Indians in 1907,
before any of them left North Carolina to lay
out Strawberry Plains which, by the way, is
154 miles from Knoxville, instead of 10 miles,
as Clark has it. Let the I'd Pa tell US some
thing about the war, if it can, and let Iowa and
Michigan alone with their mounted ghosts.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: am inform
ed that there is story now in circulation to
the effect that during the battle of Resaca
Ga, May Is, 1864, Capt. Box, Co. D, 9th
Ind, captured the colors of the 38th Ala, to-
gether with the Colonel of said regiment, who
was trying to save them his color guards
having been shot down. Now, don't know
who started this story, but feel certain it was
not the Captain himself for he was far too brave
and generous to try to claim honor which prop
erly belongs to a private of his own company
Elijah White-who singly and alone captured
said Colonel while he was trying TO carry the
coors off the field. Now, I know l am right
in this matter, and besides, / wrote brief &C
count of the affair to our County paper at
Bloomington at the time, which was duly print

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Recently, in
suggesting and advocating the selection Of the
anniversary Of the battle of Champions Hill as
the day the Posts of the Grand Army of the
Republic throughout the country should devote
to the collection of funds for the proposed
monument to the memory of the lameuted
Logan, The NATIONAL TRIBUNE said
Pemberton's army was brought to battle at
Champions Hill, and by the skill and courage
of Gen. Logan it was utterly defeated and
driven in confusion into the intrenehments Of
Yicksburg"
This statement does great injustice (unin-
tentionally, beleve) to the real hero Of Cham
pions Hill. Gen. Alvin P. HOvey aside from
Gen. Grant, who was on the field directing the
general movements of all the troops was the
central, conspicuous figure on the Union side of
that sanguinary engagement. The official re-
ports of the battle will prove this beyond the
possibility of a doubt. HOveys Division was
the first to engage the enemy and bore the
brunt of the fight, suffering more than half of
the entire Union loss, as the following figures
will show: HOvey's Division, loss, 1,202 /;
Crocker's, 662 Logan's, 403; Osterhaus's, 10.
To Hovey's Division also belongs the honor of
capturing II of the "a pieces of artillery which
fell into the hands of the victOrs
PembertOn's total loss was 8, 539, and 2,851, or
about three-fourths Of this, was sustained by
Stevenson's Division, which was in HOvey' s
front.
Gen Logan did his whole duty nobIy at
Champions Hill, as he always did on every
battlefield upon which he appeared but his
fame is too great to need the addition Of an
others hard-e laureIs.
Gen. Hovey is now ably championing the
cause of the old soldier in the Congress Of the
United States.
The name of the battle in which Pemberton's
army was so thoroughly used up should be
written Champions Hill, and not Champion
Hills. The hill There is bat one hill there) is

your permission I viii recall it briefly for
your readers some of whom, l have no
doubt, were compelled like myself to be pres
ent at the sad event.
1t was during the early Winter of 1861, while
our brigade, consisting of the 10th Me-, 9Th
Conn, 46th Pa. and 2Sth NY, of Gen. Banks's
Division, was enCamped on the side of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, overlooking the beautiful
country surrounding Frederick city. We were
in our first Winter quarters, little thinking
that we would soon be called to leave them, by
our march in the snow to Hancock, Md.
Late in the Fall Maj. Lewis, of the 46th Pa,
had been brutality shot by one of his own regi-
ment-Private John Lanahan-When on the
march near Jamestown, Md. Lanahsn had
been put under arrest for intoxicatiOn, and was
in charge Of the proVost-guard. He became so
savage that they resorted to the harsh measure
of tying him to the rear of wagon. This mad
dened the drunken man so much that he seized
loaded gun from the wagon, and pointing de-
liberately at the Major, who was riding near,
discharged its contents into his breast, killing
him almost instantly.
He was tried by court-martial, and con-
demned to be hanged on Dec. 3d. 1851. The
place chosen for the execution was the center
of the paTRde-gTOund of our brigade, three
miles west of Frederick, toward the mountains.
The day was cold and stormy; snow was fast
covering the ground as the regiments were
marched out and formed q hollow square
around the scaffOld which had been erected for
the execution.
Soon the Sd Wis.-who were the provost
guard of Frederick city-marChed into the
square, led by their band playing the dead
march, guarding close carriage containing
the condemned man. His own regiment-the
18th Pa-occupied position nearest the scat
fold, on the north. He seemed very calm and
self possessed, and assembled the steps at a sig
nal from the officer in charge promptly and
with firm step, followed by priest.
The sentence of the cOurt-martial was read
in voice heard by nearly every man in the
entire brigade: "And the said court martial
does sentence the said John Lanahan, private
of Co. 1, 46th Pa, to be hanged by the neck
till he is dead"
After the reading the scaffold was vacated by
all except the condemned man and the priest.
They were left alone for q short time during
which the priest presented small crucifx to
his lips, which he kissed The executi0ner-
who was closely masked so his comrades would
not know the hand that swung him into eter-
nity-aTTanged the cap over his eyes, pinioned
the hands and feet, and then descended, leaving
the murderer standing alone on the trap. At a
given signal this fell and in few moments
all was over. | well remember the thrill of
horror that passed over us all at the sight, and
hard, strong men turned away from it with a
shudder; and how gladly we would have es-
capped the scene had we been allowed.
But the lesson of subordinaton to law and
discipline had to be learned, and so our entire
brigade was compelled to witness the sad event.

and for Gods sake to go with him and baptize
him. The old preacher suffered very bad, and
said, "G-g-go w-w-way from here; y-y-you'r

to make our escape; so, with the assistance of
an old caseknife, we began the task of cutting
a hole through the bottom of the car, and on
Feb "a, 1863 three of us made good our escape.
After reaching shelter of the woods we held
council of war, and as We had no map to guide
Us in our course, it being bright moonlight
night, we concluded to be guided by the North
star. Our supply of rations at the time of our
escape consisted of q piece of cornbresd about
the size of a common brick, but we soon found
q supply of sweet potatoes. We used the ut
most caution, travelling only by night and So
creting ourselves during the day in some suita-
bic pine-tOp.
All went well with US, until at last scarcity
of provisions compelled as to make a raid on
neighboring " hen-roost" but, to our disgust
before we neared the roost our ears were greet
ed with the familiar bow wow of the blood
hound. We forgot all about the chickens for
the time being, and began our retreat, followed
by the dogs and the masters "yoo-pe." We
were soon captured and returned to prison.
The name of one of my comrades connected
with this anecdote was Farris Kindell and
