Lawyers are sworn of6eers Of the
courts. On sdmission 20 the bar
they take "a cath % %. justice, 70
cpprsss no person, b sustain the
Law. By virtue Of their profession
they hold high and influential po-
sitioa in the community, and for
that reason they owe q duty to the
community as well as to clients. 80
It is no part Of . lawyers duty to
judge his clients case. That is the
business Of the court and jury. AS
great a moralist as DR.. johnson laid
down that principle more than a
hundred years ago. But neither is
it the duty of lawyer to do more
than the law sanctions for the pro-
lection Of his client. 1t is not for
him to help the guilty to escape.
BE must only see that his clients
not illegally convicted. No self re-
specting lawyer, no man Who has q
proper ideal Of bis profession, will
permit himself to do this ony more
than he would commit the crime With
which bis client il charged.
At the English bar and among the
better class of American lawyers, no
sooner is there the least intimation
of fraud on the part Of Q client or his
friends, to compass a verdict by in
direct means, than the brief is at
once thrown up, and the honorable
LAWYER withdrsws from the case. He
will not contaminate his hands with
baseness. He will not play with
loaded dice.-Chicago Herald.

Lookout Mountain.

T. ]. Wright, Captain, Co. II, 9Th KY, Butler,
Mo-, says that the Fighting Parson," in his
account of Lookout Mountain, is in error in
regard to the command that lay nearest to the
Palisade that night. and also slightly wrong in
regard to the events of the next morning The
writer says that the venturesome ones to which
the Parson alludes were Capt. John Wilson,
Serg'ts Joseph Wagers and James Wood, and
Privates Chas. Witt, Geo. II. Davis, John Gill
bert aud Ed. Anderson, all of the 9Th KY.
They carried up with them the flag nearest at
hand, and just before daylight waved it from
the very rock where the rebels signal station
had been. Then, as Capt. w. l.. Stork, Acting
Aide Camp on Gen. Geary's staff states, the
shout began" etc. Gen. Geary turned to the
writer at this moment and said. Captain, take
our division flag and hurry up and plant it on
top" The writer soon scaled the rocks and had
the flag waving on the same spot where he had
first seen the Stars and Stripes. Someone has
asserted that there were no rebels on the
mountain at sunrise on the 25th. This is wrong
for as soon as the Sth KY. climbed up and re-
joined Capt. Wilson's squad, they marched out
to Summertown, quarter of a mile distant
and captured about 40 sckly-lOoking pickets
and some military stores. Comrade Wright
says that the Fighting Parson does not make
any reference to the hard fighting south Of the
Carlin House late In the evening of the oath,
where so many of Whitaker's Brigade and
others fell. The PaEson is further mistaken
in saying that the right Of the White Star Diyis-
ion lay nearest to the Palisade, at the nose Of
the mountain during the night. He does not
even appear to know that Whitaker's Brigade
was on the extreme right Of the second line Of
battle.

20 officers and 227 men; they charged the
rebel batteries with the 18th Mass and 18th
N. Y, and In less than 20 minutes had lost
their Colonel, four Captains, three Lieutenants
and 66 men killed, five officers and 81 men
wounded-more than one-half the number that
engaged in the fight.
Chris. Friender, No. Burrett street, Sche-
nectady, N. Y, sends a picture of the flag Of
the 44th N. Y, which became historical by
having 12 standard-bearers killed and 13
wounded The flag is, Of course, very much
tattered. and shows eonelusiYely that it saw
hard service.
Robert Pittman, Groesbeck, Tex, Is very
fond of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and thinks
it should be in the hands Of every veteran. He
backs up his opinion by sending US several sub
scriptiOns.
J. Leahy, Sergeant, Co. D. 123d Ohio, Hays,
Kan, says that in his section four soldiers, each
of whom has not only good war record, but
was Endorsed by almost all the patrons of the
office, were applicants for q certain position
but Notwithstanding this the Congressman
from the district recommended a political
striker in preference to one Of the veterans.
Jasper Buckner Bybee, Tenn, says that at
the outbreak of the war the sympathizers with
the Union in his part Of the country had to
resort to great many tricks in order to save
themselves from being eonseripted into the
rebel army. They dug holes in the ground and
hid themselves, until able to find guides TO take

now that he is willing to be forgiven.

Gen. Powell.

]. N. Sweeney, Sergeant. Co. !, 18th Ohio.
Wier Kan, says that in The NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE of Oct. 81 reference is made 10 Gen. w.
II. Powell being confined in the Black Hole
under the pavement at Libby, and he is
spoken of as Colonel Of an Ohio regiment.
Powell was Colonel of the Cd w. Va. Cav. The
writer was himself an inmate of the Black
Hole at the same time as the General, though
in different compartment. At the door Of
his cell there was q small hole four inches
square, through which little light penetrated.
On one occasion he persuaded the sentry at the
door of his cell to go to the General for some
writing materials, and Sweeney wrote a letter
to the Commandant, as q result of which he
was speedily transferred to Belle Isle, paradise
in comparison to the dungeon. In connection
with the writing material Powell sent the COM
rade a pamphlet containing the Book of Mat
thew, with numerous passages marked, and on
the fly-leaf the number of times he had read it
through. This book was stolen from the writer
at Annapolis, Md. in December, 1864.

stances connected Herewith to your readers
Al the beginning of the rebellion, while Gen.
Wise held possession of the Kanawha Valley,
with headquarters at Charleston, and was
securing tho country for soldiers, the writer
and few others of loyal sentiments banded
ourselves together 10 resist being forced into
the Confederate army. in the meantime
this man Pnson tiBstead Of Plcrgon, as stated
in the article referred to) raised small com
pany of Confederates like himself, 10 come
over and annihilate the company of "TorIes."
He went to Connection 10 procure ammunition
for that purpose, and was reported to Gen. Cox
(the Federal General who drove Wise from the
Valley, who sent squad of soldiers in charge
of Lieutenant after the said ammunition,
with the result stated in your communication.
The son, Harvey, before mentioned, volunteer
ed in the same company with the writer, and
was killed In battle, as before stated. The name
is Pinson instead OF Pierson.--JoHN w. EsTEP,

Gen. Grnnt,s Good Heart.

Edward Griswold, lst Conn. L. A.. Guilford,
Conn, writes that on Aug. 10 1861. one section
of his battery was sent out to the extreme left
of our line on the north side of the James River
beyond Deep Bottom, with Fosters Brigade, of
the Tenth Corps, TO dislodge regiment of rebel
rifemen, who had secreted themselves in a
farmhouse aud in its outbuildings and hedges,
and had opened destructive FIRE on one of our
brigades of infantry. 1t was q terrible hot
day, aud soon the stretchers were doing lively
business carrying of the sunstruck as well as
the wounded. While they were engaged the
writer heard the means Of wounded man near
him, but could not leave his post to go to his
assistance. Just then two men approached.
They were Gen. Grant and his Orderly. The
General did not see the fallen man until his
horse was almost over him, when he stopped,
dismounted, beekoned to his Orderly, and
the great General took the private soldier in
his arms. and, with the help of the Orderly,
carried him as tenderly as if he was his father
to the shade of q hemlOek some yards away,
and laid him gently down. This incident well
illustrates one of the characteristics of this
great soldier, and the writer doubts il any OF
his subordinate Generals would have done the
same thing.

promptly and steadily on our left, poured In one
tremendous volley, and with loud cheer dashed
forward with fixed bayonets and, supported by the
shattered remnant Of the s4th and the 9th Ohio,
drove the enemy from our 'front.' and the battle
was virtually won. The enemy made n brlei stand
at the stone fence on our left but the 18th Ind ana

from Gen. Shields 20 return to camp, and in few
