Ex.Rebels In the GAR.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Having read
IN your paper an article headed Elk Rebels in
the G.A.R.,o | rise to second the motion of
Capt. E. A. Wilson, of Berdan's Sharpshooters
to let them be admitted. This article reminds
me of the 40 or so Alabama men that came to
us at Iuka, Miss, just ahead of Gen. Price in
September, 1852, and wanted to join the Union
army. Our officers, being little suspicious OF
them, divided them as equally as possible be-
tween our companies and let them Join us.
The battles of Iuka, Sept 49, 1864, and
Corinth, Oct. and A, 1864, convinced us that
they were good enough. Although they did
not have the discipline that the rest of us had
they managed to load and fire about as fast al
any of us did, and kept it up as long as there
was a rebel in sight. I believe they loved
their country and flag as much as any of the
full-blooded Yankees that came from away up
North.
And there was the LIST Ala. Cav. that was
mostly recruited at Glendale, Miss. Quite q
number of them had been in the rebel service.
They were good soldiers, and why exclude
them from the CARP say again, let them
be admitted.-W. w. FUEL, Captain, Co. @.

CEDAR MOUNTAIN.
The Part Taken BY .Thempson,s Battery


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: see in your
edition No. $50 that Comrade Holmes claims
that Battery M, NY. l.. A., stopped the advance
of the rebels at Cedar Mountain on the night
of Aug. 8, 1862, and that Gen. Pope was mis-
taken in giving the credit to Ricketts, bat
teries; also that Thompson's battery was sup
posed to have done some firing off to the right
If Comrade Holmes will permit, will cor
rect him somewhat. Thompson's battery was
the last OF Gen. Ricketts, batteries to arrive
on the ground, and was ordered to wheel to
the right / did as ordered until the rear of
the battery was clear OF the road, when we
halted. Shortly afterward when parked with
the I'd Me- battery near the point of woods to
the right of the road, we were ordered by Maj.
Tilson to move and take position in rear of the
infantry.
While moving, as ordered, the rebs, hearing
the noise of the battery, opened on me. Seeing
from the flash of their guns that there was a
knoll between u.s. / brought the battery into
action and moved the guns down the slope, so
that the direct fire OF their rified guns could
not hit us, as their shot struck the crown OF
the knoll between or passed close over our
heads and did not hurt either man or horse.
For the same cause my Parrott guns were of no
use, but the fire of the two 12-pounder how
itzers at range of 800 yards cleared the knoll,
and it was to the rcbs close and very destruct-
i've, cutting off the head of Capt. Feathegstone
and killing their First Lieutenant and about
20 horses. Halls I'd Maine battery, seeing that
was replying to the rebs, got into action as
soon as possible to help us. About the time
the rebs were silenced battery near the road
opened and fired few shots. The whole OF
the rebs fire was directed on Thompson's bat
terry. The only danger that battery (M) en-
countered was when the 10th n. Y, about halt
mile in rear, fired up the road, then crowded
with Banks's ambulances aud teams, in the
direction of the battery. There was no timber
blown up, but the rebs left one of their caissons
behind them.
If Comrade Holmes wants further informa-
ton, call on Gen. Duryea or any member OF
his or Carroll's Brigades, as they were between
us and the rebs, and we had to fire over them
Gen. Pope, in his report, gives the credit to the
I'd and 5th Me. batteries. Thompson's was not
mentioned. The 9Th Me. did not fire a shot
When | complained to Gen. Ricketts,, he told
me that his report would put me right. was
afterward breveted Major on his recommends
ton for that nights work, and as he was an
old battery commander, he was competent tc
judge.-JAs. THOMPSON. Captain, Battery c.

A NIGHT BURIAL.
An Incident AWAY ont on tbe plains,


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The scene was
in beautiful valley situated in the western part
of the Indian Territory. A thousand men
were marching along at route-step through
groves of chaparral, followed by one of Uncle
Sans wagon trains. Our carbines hung heavily
from the gun-slings on our shoulders, for the
day was warm and Spring-like. Many of the
boys were struggling along on either flank of
the moving column, or were hanging on to
the rear end of some of the wagons, their guns
lying IN the feed-b boxes attached to each wagon,
Some were reclining on the ground beneath
friendly trees trying to obtain few moments
rest, while some of the more lively ones were
short distance away, shooting at the little
prairie-dogs. The mountains, rough and
gigantic IN their proportions, with we'll
wooded sides, lowered far above us on either
hand, while sparkling little stream dashed
along its winding way through the valley
While thus marching along, and about to
encamp for the night, stray shot from the
gun of one of the prairie-dog hunters accident
ally struck our Chief Bugler in the head, and
| he was almost instantly killed. The dead
Bugler was placed in an ambulance and carried
short distance, where the command encamped
for the night. The soldier who fired the fatal
| shot was arrested. but as it was only an acct
dent, was soon set at liberty, after receiving a
| scorchIng lecture from the Colonel. The Bugler
was laid out at headquarters, where all of the
conlIaues VINO Wlsheu passed by IN silence,
taking farewell look. Out at the base of one
of the giant Cliffs in little glen. party of
comrades dug grave by the light of torches.
In the distance the wolves and coyotes were
making night dismal with their incessant
howllngs, while the weary sentines as they
tramped their lonely beats were calling out the
hour of the night with "all's we'll"
| Soon the burial party arrived, when the
| body of the Bugler was placed in two hard
tack boxes fastened together and lowered into
its last resting place, short ceremony was
said, and the grave filed up. salute was
fired, and fire was made over the spot to
obliterate all traces from the Indians and pry-
| ing wolves, and with weary and saddened hearts
we returned to camp and turned in for the
night.-W. r. SMITH, Co. F, 10Th Kan. Cav,

An Honest Skeptic.
Does skepticism pay2

DoeS SkepClclSm pay
The enthusiast has his answer ready-No!
However, we differ, although our devotion to
Compound Oxygen comes under the head of
enthusiasm.
We differ because an honest skeptic is one
who insists on proof in support of assertion.
Can you find fault with that? Hardly since
as a rule, it is your own plan of procedure.
However, we will step in advance of usual
method and call attention to proof without
assertion. That is,3we will say nothing and
leave our case in the hands of those we have
benefited.

Random Shots.

James Bryson, Co. /, 9th Iowa, Gettysburg,
Tenn, says that the soldiers in his part of Ten
nessee desire to thank Hon. j. S. Clarkson for
his appointment of Comrade ]. w. Francis as
Postmaster at Gettysburg. He thinks Gen.
Clarkson is the soldiers friend
E. O'Brien Fennville, Mich, thinks that the
old soldiers can now thank God and take cour-
age, as the change in the Administration is
like passing, out of cold and damp into q
warm, healthy atmosphere. Gen. Bussey
should receive the blessings of all old soldiers
for his good feelings toward them, and the
writer is glad that the able officials in the PEN
sion Bureau are disposed to administer the
pension laws in the way in which all loyal
citizens think they should be carried out.
II. Z. Brierton, Guthrie, Oklahoma, will an
swer any communications inclosing stamps
asking for information as to desirability of that
section for old soldiers.
George Cooper, Leayenworth, Kan, says that
the soldiers of Kansas will shortly be able to
forward their vouchers to some good Union
veteran, instead of to that respectable old Cop
perhead, Ex-Governor Click. He thinks that
Chauncey l.. Knapp, of Leavenworth. who is
an able business man and good citizen, stands
a chance for the position. He was in the Cd Pa.
81. A., and has an excellent record.

The Sioux Commission.

ROSEBUD, OAK, ivia. Valentine), June g.
The Sioux commission arrived at this agency
yesterday afternoon, and decided to postpone
the first council until the third inst, in
order to give those living at the more dis
tant points time to be present. 1t is be-
lieved the efforts of interested parties out
side the reservation has succeeded in Gre
ating feeling of hostility, which will
require the utmost nicely of treatment to
overcome.
There has been a dance by the Omaha
Sioux, at which several chiefs of some prom
inence made speeches, the tone of which
were favorable. While this circumstance
may indicate the growth of the friendly
feeling which was increased by the feast
given at the close of the dance, it is believed
the opinions given above are correct. The
Indians do not now want to part with their
lands. and if they finally consent it will be
because they are convinced their interests
will be best subserved by such IL course. To
convince them of this fact will be no easy
task for tho commissioners

ment with Counsclman K Co for through

can not indct n railway company, but they
have taken the whole freight department of
our road. The Michigan Central is The old

those of Chicago, but il looks as if some
members of the board of trade want TO use
