u. s., Monte Vista, Colo, wonders if all the
members of the Army Of the Ohio are dead, as
he has not heard from any of them for long
time. He would like to have some of them
write about the campaigns of PUmpkinvine
Creek, Kenesaw Mountain and Atlanta.
g. ii. Card, Oakley, Mich, says that the
story, "Tom Fletcher's Wife" recently pub
lished in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, calls to
his mind the time when he came home from
the war. He was then so thin and weak that
he could not get into the house alone.
Thomas Sanders, Huff, Ind, would like to
see short history of Gen. Gresham's regiment,
the SD Ind, in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
A. II. Good. 4th Tenn. Cav, Howardsville,
Tenn, enlisted Oct. %, 1862, and served until
the close of the war. He would like to have
some of his comrades tell about meeting Hood
at Franklin, Tenn.
G. L. Thompson, Co. I, 1881 Ohio, Smithland,
KY, was very much interested in Capt. Rsth-
bones narrative of his imprisonment and es-
cape, but he wishes he had given the partieu-
lars of his capture; for, though he belonged to
the same company as COmrade Rathbone, he
was on detached duty at the time RathbOne
was captured, and the incidents pertaining to
that event he does not remember He also
would like to have some ComFade inform him
if COmrade Slough, who commanded the 153d
Ohio, is still living. The Colonel, and a pOr-
tion of his regiment, were taken prisoner at Old
town, w. Va, but were fortunate enough to be
paroled on the spot.

The Battle of Franklin Again.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There is one
regiment which was engaged at the battle of
Franklin, Tenn, Nov 80, 1864, which was To-
Gated during the earlier moments of the rebel
charge on the left of the Columbia pike of
which no mention has been made in all the
controversies regarding that engagement. IL
was the 40th No, think. Atleast it was a new
regiment and never before under fire, and was
about 1000 strong, and under command of Col.
Bradshaw now living at st. Joseph, Mo-, and
who was badly wounded in this fight This
regiment was in front of 0pdycke's Brigade
which was held in reserve on the right of the
pike and behind the slope of ground upon which
the Carter House stood. Unjust have lost quite
a number of men, and was driven back ia some
confusion, although many of its members chung
to the works or joined the older regiments in re-
storing and holding the line on the right of the
pike. The battery which was Immediately on
the left of the pike, and which was nearest the
front of the Tooth Ohio was the LIST KY. It was
captured for a few moments during the charge,
but was retaken by the reserves of the Twenty
third Corps, led by Maj. White of the 18th KY.
"A Drawer soldier never lived than he. If living
he has livid scar across his cheek, cut by
rebel ball during this charge, as a remembrance
of his Yalor IN that charge for restoration of
the lines. 1t is strange that of the many ac-
counts Of that engagement, not one writer has
mentioned this Missouri regiment l have
named. it afterwards became, / think, at
tached to a. ]. Smiths command at Nashville.
Let some of its members rise and claim hear
ing.-ED. c. RUSSELL, Co. A, 65th H., Corn

UNION sOUTHRONS.
HardshIDs Endured by the Loyal Men of the Sout

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: wish to give
the readers of your paper some idea of the trials
which Union men had to endure in the South
during the late war When the rebellion broke
out l was living in Ashe County, N. G. The
rebels from the start conscripted every man
between the ages of Is and As; and as this in
cluded the writer, / thought would leave the
country before they caught me.
Hearing that somebody in East Tennessee was
raising company to go to Kentucky to join the
Union army, l, with others from my section,
reported at the rendezvous. We left Johnson
County, Tenn, with So men early in 1862, with
pilot" who was to take us to Kentucky,
which was then within the Union lines.
We travelled by night, through woods aud
over mountains, with scant rations and cloth
ing weary and hungry most of the time. until
we reached the top of Waldens Ridge, at the
edge of Powell's Valley, Va. Having by this
time been discovered by rebel citizens aud re-
ported to the rebel Gen. Morgan, then stationed
at Turkey Cove Seminary, about five miles
from our camp; we were afraid TO move until
dark, for we could see plainly from our position
the gray Jackets passing up and down the
valley.
When at last night came, our pilot told us it
was time to go; so the company was divided
one to charge across the valley and into the
woods on the opposite side, while the other
was to make a detour. But the cavalry of the
enemy saw the company which crossed the
valley, and dashed among us just as we reached
the timber, but failed to capture any of our
party. They kept us in this position until
morning, when regiment of infantry can't
ured the entire company, and proposed to send
US to Richmond, Va, which they did, Thew
Immediately sent their recruiting officers
among US, and they tried all the arts known
to them to induce US to join the rebel army.
After Is days had passed, we were taken from
the pen and told that if we did not volunteer
they would make soldiers of us anyhow We
were then taken from prison and sent to Camp
Lee, where we were informed that we would
have to take the oath of allegiance to the
Southern Confederaey.
This was refused by every man who had been
captured. They conscripted us, however, and
scattered US through the 9Th Va. (rebel) regi-
ment where we were armed and drilled
Being determined to desert at the first op-
portunity, the time rolled along slowly. At
last we were ordered to Fredericksburg, where
we were engaged, but no chance presented for
escape From here we went to North Carolina
to take Little Washington, where | made nv
escape from the enemy and Joined Co. G. lst
N. c., under Capt. ]. B. Reed, in April 1863.
and where l served until June 81, 1866, when |
was honorably mustered out. wish to say
in this connection that l still rally round
the flag" and will continue to do so while life
lasts-WM. II. LAWRENCE, Co. G, 1st N. c.,

The First in Fayetteville, n. c.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue

Comrade Alex. Cunningham, color bearer Of
the Cpd Ohio, viii report and correct me.
On the morning of March II, 1866, Gen.
Baird ordered Col. Hunter, with his brigade,
to take Fayetteville and try and save the
bridge across the river. The 31st and cpd Ohio
were in the advance of the brigade, and drove
the rebs out and took possession of the town.
The 92d was on guard in town, and the color
bearers of the 3lst and cpd tried to see which
could get his flag on the Courthouse first.
have forgotten who was first in, but remember
that the color bearer of the 92d first put his
flag out of the frst-foor window, and the
3lst color bearer had his flag out at the
window above. The color-bearer of the 92d
had seen a flagstaff on the top of the Court
house. so he looked around and found trap
door that let him out on the roof; then he put
the colors Of the 92d on the flagstaff. | don't
remember who was in first, but Col. Hunter
ordered the CPD to guard the town.
/ expect Comrade Mcneil remembers what
happened to the 92d. If he don't, Col Hunter
does as he sent me with an order to Col. Nor
row, requesting him to take his 92d regiment
out in the field by the Courthouse. / gave the
order to Col Morrow, and reported TO Col.
Hunter that it was impossible for Col. Morrow
to take his regiment out of town, unless he had
the ambulance train to help him. as they were
badly shot with applejack.

How Capt. r and Lient. a. Iost the Dan

HOW Capt. Il and Lieut.. tt Lost the Day.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE Comrades of
the 9Th Mo. Cav. will remember and appreciate
the following:
The 8th Mo. Cav. had participated in the
battle of Prairie Grove, Ark, and had swung
round to Lake Springs, near Rolla, preparatory
to the march on Little Rock.
Capt. R and Lieut.. C., of Co. D, both
young and gallant and gay, had made the ac-
quaintance of a couple of the many patriotic
young ladies who resided near that place. So
one balmy Sunday in March they rode out and
escorted the charmers of their hearts into
camp to witness the imposing spectacle of the
afternoon parade. Parade over, the two young
officers were entertaining the fair young dam
sells on confectionery and bon-bons from the
Suffers, and arranging for an unbroken CORE
spondence and happy meeting when this cruel
war was over" Everything was serene. The
young ladies seemed to look on the two young
officers as heroes, and the Captain and Lieu
tenant looked as though they had all the future
arranged to their complete satisfaction. An
outsider about this time could have seen Capt.
L and Maj. T in mysterious consulta-
ton. Presently Capt L entered the quarters
of Capt R, where the gay young company
were assembled, and was invited to join the
happy circle. In a few moments Mai T
came along, and was also invited in, but he ex-
cused himself, saying he only stopped to say
the mail was in" Any letters for me?"
asked Capt. l. None, says the Major 81
got one from my wife at Springfield" ANY
news?" Not much; all well; sends regards
to all of the sth." By-the-by she did write
that Lieut.. G-'s wife had been rather un-
well, and his little boy quite sick, but they
were all right again" So saying the Major
walked on. If bomb had exploded at the
feet of Lieut.. G. and the girls the effect
would have scarcely been more astounding.
No explanation would convince the indignant
girls that Capt. R and Lieut.. c. had
not made them the victims of misplaced conf
dence Slowly and sadly the crestfallen heroes
escorted the ladies home. Loves young dream
was over No amount of reasoning would con-
vince the girls that the brave young hearts of
our Captain and Lieutenant were free and I'M
-empted after. this. R and c. were
rather indignant, but before three years were
past they learned that war jokes, like harvest
jokes were free.-CoMRADE, 8th Mo. Cav,

Their Records.

]. T. Russell, Greensburg, KY, claims to be
one of the youngest soldiers. He was born
July %, 1849, and first enlisted in the 4th Ky.
in 1861, doing service with that regiment until
it was mustered in, when he was rejected on
account of age, etc. But he staid with the
army until after the battle of Perryville, Ky.
In August, 1868. he Joined Co. NJ, 18th Ky. Cav,
and obtained his muster through the influence
of the Colonel. He served in the ranks, and
as an Orderly until Jan. 10, 1865, when he was
mustered out.
B. NJ. Zachary, Co. F, Sd Tenn, Hargus,
Tenn, although Southern born and bred, was
for the Union when the war broke out and in
April, 1862, started to find the Union army, but
was captured and sent to jacksonville, Ga. III
a short time he was released through the in
fluence of some rebel relatives of his, and again
attempted to find the Union troops. In 1863
he crossed the rebel lines and reached Ken
lucky in safety, where he enlisted in the Sd
Tenn, commanded by Col. Houk, now Mem
Der of Congress. He was recaptured Aug. a.
1864, while on detached service as train guard
at Dalton, Ga, but paroled on the third day
after. He would like to hear from some of the
boys who were captured at the same time.

Our CONSTITUENTS,

NJ J. Borland, First Lieutenant, Co. D, 10th
Ohio Cav, Bayport, Mich, says THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has done glorious work in the cam
paign Just past. He thinks we defeated Cleve-
land, and in doing so have done the soldiers a
favor they cannot repay. 1t was our paper
which put the question in its proper shape, so
that the veteran could see that he would be
voting against his own interests if he voted for
Grover.

UNE since 1884, and says he would not be with
out the paper now for 10 times its cost.
Commissioner of Pensions.
D. T. Stonebraker Co. f, 18th w. Va, thinks
that Gen. VIM. II. Gibson, of Tifin, o., would
make splendid Commissioner of Pensions.
Youngest Soldier.
Col. Fl. K Milward, 18th KY, Lexington,
KY, says that James O'Connell Mt. Sterling,
KY, who served as his Orderly during the
war, was one of the yOungestsoldiers He was
born in February, 1S49, enlisted in Co. A, 18th
KY, Oct. 25 1861, and served until 1865. He
was good soldier, and was known by many
men of the command as the youngest soldier in
the army.
Pat Curtin, Grangeville, Idaho says that
Edward Beck, now Postmaster at his place, is
one of the youngest soldiers. He was born
Dec. 4, 1919; enlisted in Co. NJ, 9th Ky. Cav,
as Bugler, at the age of 10.

Give Them Their Dues.

Jasper N. Chairman, Co. II, 31st Mo-, Hen
erickson, Mo-, thinks the manner in which
pensions are granted is very unjust to some of
the old boys. He knows man who belonged
to his company who was taken sick and was
service. He now draws $12 per month pension.
Chairman was captured a few days after the
discharge of this comrade, and was confined for
some time in rebel prisons; served all through
the war, and was mustered out when peace was
declared, and he now draws only Sc per month,
although almost entirely disabled His COM
rade drew his arrears, which amounted to
nearly $4,000. He only got his pension from
the date of application, which unfortunately
for him was after the statute of limitations
took effect.
Frederick NabhUlz, Soldiers Home, Mil
waukee, Wis, thinks the Government should
give the disabled soldiers in the National
Homes the amount of money it costs to keep
them, and permit them to live among their
friends for the few years they may yet live. If
this is not done, whenever one of these old
boys is allowed furlough to visit his friends
and relations, transportation and communication
of ratiOns should be given him.
G. W. Clark, Beloit, Kan, is a one-armed
soldier, having had his arm amputated within
less than an inch of the elbow joint Still, he
draws pension only for loss of hand. The
writer thinks that the people who grumble
about the Government paying larger pension
for loss of limb than for any other class OF
wounds would have nothing to say if they were
deprived of one of their members.
