A Holsters Prison Rxnerience.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: From what
read in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE of others
being in Andersonyille Prison, / feel sure we
did not all see alike. One thing sure, / don't
think there are many men living that saw
more Of that pen than ] did. I was taken
prisoner on Sunday, the goth of September,
1868, at the battle of Chickamauga: was on
Belle Isle, and in Richmond and DanVille, Va;
left there about the 9Th of April, 1864, and was
put in the pen at AndersonYille. | was there
until some time in October, when all were
taken out to the field hospital. ] was carried
out on q board, placed in wagon and hauled
TO the hospital; was carried on a mans back
from the wagon TO my quarters. Some time in
September every man that could walk was
taken ont of the stockade and sent south to
other prisons. / had been down all Summer
with the scurvy, my legs being drawn up so /
could only crawl on my hands and knees
After had been in their hospital awhile and
had received some medicine, l got SO l could
straighten one of my legs enough to hobbIe
around with the help of cane.
About the middle of November the worst of
Us were sent to Savannah to be paroed, and on
the Goth we there signed the parole and were
sent 70 our fag-of-truce boat From there we
went to Annapolis, Md. having served Il
months in the different rebel prisons.
The latter part of December, 1892, as I was
going to Florida, stopped at Macon, Ga, and
went down TO see the place where had once
been confined and so badly treated. was sur
prised to sec what had been done there in fit
ting up the cemetery, where between 1900
and 1900 of our men had died and were buried.
OF course, this was done by the Government,
and viii always be kept up as long as the Gov
eminent lasts. The old prisOn-pen didn't look
very natural, only the lay of the ground; only
mark of the stOckade left, except some tim
bers standing in the swamp.
Now, word about the name of this place we
call Andersonyille. / don't know how we all
got this NAME for the station is called Ander-
son. This you will find to be the fact if you
ever go or wish to write there. Anyone wish
ing information from there can direct to Keeper
of National Cemetery, Anderson, Ga. As for

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is evident
that Comrade E. 2. Lee, of the 41st H., has not
read Gen. Grants memoirs" very carefully
Grant speaks of Gen. d. c. Buell. as being a
brave and able General And in the slur that
he filings at Gen. A. d. McCook we see that
Comrade Lee is not careful reader. Gen. T.
S. Grant did not say in his Century article that
he ordered McCook to pursue the enemy, and
that he refused TO do So But Gen Grant does
say in his Memoirs" that he did McCook a
great injustice in his Century article When a
comrade starts out to write an article on the
war Of the rebellion he should be very careful
TO give the facts in the case, for there are too
many of the old boys still living and ready to
correct him. If it is true that our army did no
fighting at Shiloh on Sunday, it is also true
that we did some very hard marching. Every
soldier knows that it is easier to march 30
miles on a smooth, dry road than it is to march
eight miles through mud. We did all we could
to reach the battlefield in time TO prevent the
capture of Gen. Grants army, and we succeeded
in doing so. At 8 o'clock Sunday morning
McCook's Division was 26 miles north of Savan-
nah, and at 6 o'clock Monday morning it was
in line of battle on Shiloh's bloody field.
Below give list Of the regiments compos-
ing McCo0k's Division and their respective
losses at Shiloh on Monday, April z, for Com
rade Lees inspection. / think he win find
that our loss was equal to that of any division

Now, Comrade Lee, do you really suppose
that the soldiers Of Buell's superb army think
that the grand old Army of the Tennessee did
not do its whole duty on Sunday? If so, you
are mistaken for there was evidence all over
the battlefield when we reached it Monday
morning that there had been very hard fight
ing done there the day before. You fought at
great disadvantage, and were badly beaten.
| Ii your divisions had been camped near each
! other, Johnston and Beauregard would not
! have driven you at all, and Buell. would not
| have had to double-quick his men through the
mud TO reach the Landing in time to save your
army from capture. But the great mistake that
! the comrade makes in his article is in suppos.
ing that he has forever settled the question of
what Buells army did at Shiloh" He has
come about as near settling this question as the
priests and preachers of the last three centuries
have in settling the question of who is on the
right road to paradise the Protestant or the
| Catholic.-E. c. WINTERS, First Sergeant, Co.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l saw in an
Issue Of your paper Q short lime ago some com
rade is still claiming that a detail from differ
ent commands went into the city of Atlanta
first. 1 claim that the I0Ist H. were the first
Union troops in the city. The way to decide
this question honestly is to give dates and
hours. We went into the city as the rebg went
OUT we were right on their heels. They shot
among US considerably. This, of course. was
their rear guard. Now, have diary before
me written at the time. We went into Atlanta
on the % day Of September, 1864, at 2 O'Clock.
This is the exact time, and we, the I0Ist III.
were honored after going in by being made
hremen Of the city. All we did during our
stay there was TO run the fire-engines. We wore
red letter 4 on our left coat-lapel TO designate
rs from the troops. This was our pass ali over
the city, while other troops had TO have pass.
10 now comrades, you can see Just how this
was OF course, We don't claim any honor over
any other regiment that were as good soldiers
as were we; for we could not have gone into
Atlanta at all if there had been no other troops
there.-JANEs K. WALKER, Co. f. IOlst Ill,

CORRECTING COL. KNOX.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The object of
this communication is to correct couple of
errors of Comrade Thos W. Knox in his story
of THE Lost Army" As / read all the stories
of battles, marches and skirmishes in which I
was engaged, think it is every soldiers duty
to correct any mistake that may come to his
notice. The first mistake is in The NATIONAL
tribune of Nov. Is. He makes Jack say
"And there was another example Of the same
sort. There was Maj Post, of the 37th H.,
who became Gen. Philip Sidney Post, and
served CALAMITY in a good many battles While
fighting in the battle Of Pea Ridge, he was Sc
verely wounded" He never belonged to the
37th H., but to the 59tb ILL.,, which at that time
was known as the 9th Mo-, as Illinois had raised
her quota of men. When the seth was raised
Gen. Kelton had it mustered i'll as the 9th Mo-,
but it was afterward credited to the State to
which it belonged. The Major of the 37th Ill.
at that time is now our honorable Commits
siOner of Pensions, Gen. John G. Black. He
was also wounded in the second days fight
which crippled his arm for life, and again at
Prairie Grove Ark, wounded in the other arm.
If any of the comrades have any doubts of
these facts, they can learn them by writing
Gen. Post, who resides at Galesburg ILL.,, and
who was at one time our Department Com
mander.
IN the next mistake, while disposing of the
troops for the second days battle (the Sth of
MarchJ, ne says DuFlhS the evening the
lines of the army were drawn in on the left,
and preparations were made to bring the forces
of Sigel and Davis, who had suffered but
slightly during the day, to the relief of Gen.
Carr" Now, both the 37th and seth Ill. be-
longed to the same brigade, and that brigade to
Gen JEFF C. Davis's Division. They lost on
that day $50 men killed in the brush and woods
between Leetown and Elkhorn Tavern. some
of them being killed while lying wounded on
the battlefield. 1t was on that day that both
Mai. Post and Maj. Black were wounded, and
where Mccullough and Mcintosh were killed.
Mccullough was shot by sharpshooter of the
36th III. This party, when they were driven,
rallied on the left of our regiment, and fought
like good fellows until they could get to their
regiment, which was in Gen. Sigel's Division.
If anyone thinks the 36th Ill. did not do hard
fighting on that day, let us hear from him.

The First across Peach Tree Greek.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: We are not
given TO quarreing or finding fault, but
" truth is mighty and must prevail" / see
there has been some disputing in regard to
which regiment was first across Peach Tree
Creek, in Dan McCo0k's old brigade-Third
Brigade Second Division, Fourteenth Corps.
Let me give you an extract from the brigade
report made by Leut.-COl. James w. Langley,
I25ih H., commanding the Third Brigade at
that time: las the 18th of July was an event.
ful day in the history of this brigade, choose
10 incorporate in this report the minutes of its
operations, made by Col. Dilworth, S5th H.,
at the time: This morning / was ordered to
form my lines in rear OF skiTmish-liue and
push across Peach Tree Creek This was done
by placing the SD Ohio in advance, crossing
the creek on log, aud moving out across the
field and over the hill. Here we found an en-
tire brigade of rebels and portion of another.
The balance of our brigade crossed, (1st aud
S5th I'll. and went to the assistance of the SOD
Ohio, on the left, and found heavy force.
Next came the l25th H., and moved forward
to the crest of the hill; next the Seth Ill, and
formed on the left. The 22d Ind. at the same
time commenced crossing on our right and con-
nected with the SD Ohio skirmishers on the
right. Col. Langley, of the 125th H., was or
deTed to form on the right, which he did at a
double-quick, and just reached the top of the
bill as the enemy were ready TO attack, and
after q fire from the I25th the rebels were
driven back from the right. That night in
tTenchments were thrown up and the men re-
manned on the ground getting in the wounded. ; J"
There, comrades, that's straight goods. And
now, again, J. B. Dunn, 5th Wis. battery, comes
up smiling, and asserts that the 5th Wis. bat
terry was attached to the same brigade with the
22d Ind. from some time IN 1862 till the close
of the war" | object, comrade; the 22d Ind.
belonged to the Third Brigade, Second Divis-
ion, Fourteenth Corps, from the Sd of May,
1864, until the close of the war, and started
with the Third Brigade from Lee and Gordons
Mills on that day on the road TO Atlanta Our
battery was Co. ], I'd Ill. There may have
been as good, but there was no better battery
in the service than old Battery /, and any of
the members of the Third Brigade now living
viii bear me out in this assertion. The 5th
Wis. was also a good one, and l believe Com
rade Dunn Is right when he says that the 9Th
aided the brigade in crossing Peach Tree Creek.
] don't know where our battery was at that
time, but they were going in" somewhere
you may depend. Now that I have set this
thing right please don't wake me up again, for
] don't want to see you fellows fussing and
taking up room in the paper over such matters
