EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Late in March
1865, a cOmrade Of Co. c OF my regiment came
to nay tent and said Charlie | have got a

in our immediate front, the comrade went a,yav

we were engaged in turning the said breast

munition gave out. While watching anxiouslv

arrive, who should l see but my friend Rms
81, the man detailed, singing cartridge boxes
across the back Of a mule. The shot and shell
were flying thick and fast, and Bus was irving
to drag the mule, loaded with cartridges. taking
up as little room and time as possible.
Perhaps those Of us who had heard Of the fsoft
snap" Bus had secured did not smile to see his
Predieament; for is one thing to charge breast
works with a musket in your hands. and ouite
another to have to face the music and null a
stubborn mule after you. After the ammuni-

mounting the mule and running cut of sight.
It seems that after Bus got to the train he was
given an ammunition wagon instead Of a
forage wagon, and he had TO bring np the fire.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Hayinp been

TRIBUNE for some years, we want short space
Tor few remarks, as we were an interested
party to some things now being iumbled to-
gether by one DR.. Henry Capehart. Consider
ing the large amount of material employed and
dispatch used in forming our armies during
the rebellion 1885, that some should fail of
their own anticipations, or that of their friends
IS not to be wondered at But the country.
generally speaking, has been willing to let
them down easy, and their friends at this late
day go years since) should be willing to accent
the situation as gracefully as possible The
verdicts are already sealed, many of them in
characters of blood, and will so pass down the
ages OF time. And though the ink NAV flow

property, unburied dead, wounded left TO the
tender mereies of the enemy to die of mat
tention or suffer in prison-pens. 1t makes bnt
little difference to US as soldiers what DIR. Cane
hart says about Gen. Banks in the Shenandoah
Valley. We have the history. We read dav bv
day at the time III the papers of what was 90
ing on III the Valley, and we do not recollect
OF a single instance to cheer a soldier except
what Shields and his men did But we do Oh
ject to what the Doctor says about Gen. Nc
Doweil and his corps. Having served under
Mcdowell during the time spoken of we are
forced to the conclusion that the Doctor is not
Informed as to the actual facts. or he is ira.
Queer. lie makes statements no one there eyer
heard of. He tells of division movements and
leaves them halfway to the points reached. or
dlsmlsses them with a perhaps" perhaps as
far as Catletts" He forgets to mention from
where they started, and substitutes orders TO
suit his purposes. Had he not used names we
would never by the circumstances mentioned
have discovered that it was our division he was
moving, so little truth is there in his state
ments.
