Why should not some one offer a trophy sig-

that the bill should not be paid. The boys
stll persist that they each and every one told
the whole truth.
It was while on this expedition that we fell
under the especial ban of the rebels, and the
boss" JEFF Davis issued an order that we
should not have accorded TO us the rights of
prisoners of war if captured. From the expe-
rience of those who were accorded the rights
of prisoners of war by the rebels, don't think
that we would have lost much He classed us
with such men as Gen. Butler. Gen. Hunter
and Gen. Phelps. Now that hurt (?) our feel
ings But he said we were felous and dcserv-
ed the fate of feons. This hurt us awfully,
but we kept right on and think we got even

them.
On the 18th of July, just one month after we

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.
Who Planted the First Flag on the FOrtl

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Having read
several communications in your valuable paper
from comrades giving their version of the fight
on Lookout Mountain, allow me, Mr.. Editor,
without commenting on the same, to merely
state what | saw.
On the afternoon of Nov 90. 1863 we were
marched out and some distance back from the
point of Lookout Mountaiii, and formed up (as
far as we could and down the mountain in two
lines, two regiments in each line, making four
regiments. The two regiments in the front
line were from Gen. Hooker's command, the
two in rear line from Gen. Whitaker's Brigade,
one of these being the Goth Ohio; Gen. Whita-
kor commanding the whole The rebels had
Mt that time fort at the point of Lookout inn
medately below the ledge. Toward this fort
we took up the march in line Of battle through
Tavines, gullies, over or around stones and
bowlders--in fact, over the toughest ground it
has ever been my lot to travel.
When we got within musket-range Of the
fort the rebels opened on US with musketry; at
the same time they commenced firing from the
top. Thus VIC were being attacked from the
front and right flank and this made it rather
hot for us and broke the front line all up, and
they scattered behind trees and powders and
were out of sight In less time than it takes to
tell it. The second line (Which was not more
than 80 or 40 feet in rear of the frstl, as soon
they saw what the first limo was about, started
forward on the charge with big yell right
through and over the first line and did not
stop until they were inside the fort and the
flag of tho Goth Ohio was the first planted on
the works.
This ended the fight, and n short time after
we were relieved by Gen. Geary's Brigade,
marched back n short distance and went into
camp for the night. Next morning, the oath.
10 was found that the rebs had gone from the
top of the mountain, and flag planting became
about as easy on Lookout Mountain as planting
potatoes in Ohio. | think / shall never for
get bow Gen. Whitake tried TO stop us on that
day. When the charge commenced he hap
pened TO be near the left Of the 10Th, and was
only few feet away from him, so | was able
to hear all his commands lie kept running
along with the line (being Y FOOT command
ing, Haiti Halt! Hal there" But
there was no "halt there" Whom he found
no could not stop us, he yelled out at tho top of
his voice: Charge 10 --- and be -" But
we were not going that way we were after the
fort, and we got it.
This, Mr.. Editor, is just rs saw this affair,
and in my opinion it is scarcely worth while to
make much fuss over il, as 10 certainly did not
amount to the dignity of a battlo-only de-
cent skirmisb. As you see from tho above the
force engaged on our side was very small, and
the rebs were not hard to drive. No cannon
were used on either side. we having none
with us, and the rebels not being able to use
theirs AS their fort was not built to be defend
cd from that sde.-WM. FAY, Lieutenant, 99th

as each and every brigade Of the Twentieth
Corps generally participated when tho battle
was on but we do deny most emphatically that
any other brigade than the First Of the Third
DIVISION made that famous charge aud captured
that battery.
II Michigan in the War" says that the
Second Brigade Of the Third Division captured
that battery, then Michigan In the War" is
wrong. IL IL possible that the Second Brigade
supported the First in that charge but they
never took that battery, nor did their flags go
into those works while the wild and woody
Jobnnies were there.
The first flag ia those works was that of the

Ill, and about the same time saw the colors
