cept in his cosy quarters with the Adjutant in
camp replies that Chap. Bartlett, of the LIST

charging up the line of battle with the men of

that large number of other Chaplains were
equally brave.
William st. Martz. seth H.. Mooushine, H.,
says that Comrade r. NJ. Rogers's account of

ing, Mich, wonders if all of his comrades of the
Fourth Division, Fifteenth Corps, who made

nooga are dead. He would like especially to
hear from Serg't Nicholas Miller and G. A.
Whltlam, of Co. K, 18th Ind. Serg't Miller was
wounded at Resaca, and did not, TO the writer's
knowledge, report for duty afterward.

an article in the great soldiers paper from one
Charles Schulz of Indiana, member of Co. c.
10th H., and would like to ask him if he still
has the buCkshot that he caught in his mouth
at the battle of Perryvlle KY, Oct. 6, 1862. He
presumes he remembers it yet for it knocked
out several of his teeth and stopped in his
mouth. Should like to hear from him by let
ter or through THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
James S. Briggs, 18th Mich. Bat, Willsey,
Kan, says he has seen nothing from his old
comrades, and as he knows they cannot be
ashamed of their war record, thinks they must
be dead. They did good work at Thompson's
and Champion Hills, Black River aud Vicks-
burg, Miss, and though they captured no flags
or railroad trains, did their whole duty. They
belonged to Osterhaus's Division, Thirteenth
Corps, and were as good as the best. He hopes
to hear from some of the old boys.
Stuart F. Hoskinson, Co G, I'D H., Blakely,

says that the Third Division, Fourth Corps,
(Gen. L. ]. WoOds) was left in East Tennessee
after relieving Knoxville, and did scouting
duty until April, 1863 and in March, 1863, was
at Con hon thai
place, wishes to correct the comrade by saying
that this occurred one year later-in 1864 as
the Fourth Corps left Chattanooga for the relief
of Knoxville Nov. 30, 1863, just after the battle
of Missionary Ridge.
James Shanklin Co. c, 41st Ohio, 563 City

| W. l.. Fuller, Co. G, 18th Mass, Berlin Cross
roads, o., was much pleased with the article on
! Balls Bluff which appeared in THE NATIONAL
/ TRIBUNE of Dec q. He was one of the 4" eof-
| fee-c coolers" who crossed the Potomac that
| dreadful day of Oct 81, and when he was
/ brought back to the Maryland shore, was pretty
well used up. He saw Col. Baker shot, and
| wishes some person would write an account of

| old regiment.
Norman Hazelton, Co. D, 5th n. Y. Cav,
/ Fort Edward, n. Y, wants to know the exact
number of sentry boxes that surmounted the
/ stockade at Andersonviile. He thinks Ander-
| sonville writers, although explicit in many
| things, have omitted to make public such in
| formation. In other words, what was the
number of the last post?
G. II. Green, Custer, Oak, has been a con-
slant reader of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for
years and could not do without it now, as ii
seems to fill long-felt want in advocating the
| rights of the soldiers.
Robert T. Duncan, Co. K, doth KY, would
like to see 1.-The National Tribune" Pension
| Bill become law, and wishes Congress would

| lis, Ore, has never seen in TIE NATIONAL

| Mo-, asks what has become of the old boys OF

Levi Nicholson Co. H, 161st and Co. f, 194th
! Ohio Springhill, Kan, says that during Gen.
! Morgans raid through Ohio the militia of Buff
| falo Township, Noble County, was ordered to
| Marietta. They had been in camp but few
! days when the boys began to miss their milk,
and seeing a COW struggling through camp
caught her. One or two held her by the head
and others by the TAIL and then started to
milk her. About this time Comrade Laughlin
made a rush, sprang on to and over the cow,
and so excited the animal as to cause her to
break away and spill about half the milk
While Comrade Laughlin was laughing heartily
over his exploit one of the comrades ran up
and soused him with the remainder of the
milk.
d. NJ. Fox, Co. G, 1o5th Ohio, Conneaut, o.,
| says the Second Brigade Third Division, Four
tenth Corps, was composed of the 10th and
| l01st Ind, the I'd Mimi, and the Both and 105th
! Ohio The 18th Ind. was in the advance at
the capture of both the towns of Fayetteville
and Smithfield, N. c. At the latter town the
writer heard Gen. SlOcum ask Gen. Baird,
"What brigade is that in front?n To which
| Gen. Baird replied: "The same brigade that
took Fayetteville, and they are doing it in the
| same manner" His brigade had little to do
with hosting flags on State HOUSES, for they
were attending to the rebels about the time
/ those banners were being raised.
| Joseph Warren, Co. b, S6th H., Yorkshire,
Iowa, would like to know how many of the
comrades are living who first entered Fayette-
ville n c. The writer says that they were
surprised when they found the rebels there,
and he remembers that it took about half an
hours hard fighting to decide who should stay.
Our men finally drove the rebels out of the
place. Comrade Warren was thrown from his
| horse and captured, and would like to hear
from any of his comrades who remember these
| circumstances.
