IN THE WILDERNESS.
Which Corps Opened tho Big Battlef

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: In your issue
of July "a Comrade VIM. G.. Tiff, Co. O. 18th
U. S. Inf, makes som6 statements in regard to
| the movements of his cOrps and their connec-
ton with the opening of the battle of the Will
derness May g. 1864, whieh1 do not believe to
DO correct The Fifth Corps may have broke
| camp at Culpeper Courthouse May at II p. M,
and / think that to be- the only correct state
mont he did make, except Ms TO his presence
(May s, 1861 and his regiment, brigade, divis-
ion and corps organization.
Tho 18th and "a Regulars could not have
met Ewell's troops on the right of the Orange
turnpike, because said pike is at least % or 30
miles distant from where the c0mrade claims
this command (Fifth Corps crossed the Rap
idan (Germania Ford) | have reason to be-
lieve that the Fifth Corps, or the larger part of
it, crossed at Culpeper Ford, and not before 8
o'clock on the morning of tho 9Th. An ex-mcE-
Der of the 18th Inf, serving in Sykes's Division,
residing here, after describing to him Culpeper,
or Miners Ford, and its surroundings, aud more
especially tho twostory white frame house on
the south bank Of tho river Mt the ford, says
his regiment crossed at Culpeper Ford, and
it is fair to presume that all of Sykes's Divis-
ion did likewise. It is also omen to question
whether any of tho Fifth Corps were sent 80
miles, or to the right of tho Orange turnpike,
whore they met the enemy under Ewel rs the
comrade states they did, on the 4th. | will
say again, however, for the comrades informa-
ton, that tho Second Cavalry Division crossed
the Rapidan Mt Ely's Ford before good daylight
on the morning of tho 9Th; that we were on the
south side of tho river at Culpeper Ford before
sunrise, when the brass battery of tho Fifth
Corps, on the north bank, fired into us. / did
not learn what battery it was; lit may have
been the detached volunteer battery; they
seemed to take the lead in the Fifth Corps;
that after leaving the ford we were dismounted
to fight on foot, tho woods being too close to
ride through; that we advanced rs skirmishers
in southwest direction until we came to o
fork in tho road. ID was then noon, and we
were about two miles from the river. We were
then relieved by some of the Fifth Corps, after
which We bore off TO the left in the direction of
Todd's Tavern.
We had been engaged before the Fifth Corps
relieved us; therefore, comrades of the Fifth
Corps can rest assured that their corps did
not open the battle of tho Wilderness. As far
rs | could see, the first shot fred In that battle
was by the Confederate pickets posted on the
south bank ut Elys Ford. who shot their pieces
in the air rs n signal when our head of column
entered the river.
j trust that the foregoing will be satisfactory
to Comrade Tiff, who doubtless has made
some mistakes in dates as well as names of
places.-JoHN GLYEN, Private, Co. G., Cd Pa.

away; sometimes only a section, making raids,
reconnoissances or picket duty.
Oct. we crossed the Chattahoochee going
north, scouting the woods TO the left, passing
Marietta, and on the 9TH were still working on
the TANKS of the army as it came north. We
had fight on the 18th seven miles from Rome,
Ga, driving from the guns some rebel cannon
neers. so that our division brought in two guns
Oct. IL we passed through "Snake Creek
Gap" seven miles long and about 400 feet wide
You will remember the place when l call your
attention TO the fact that the rebels had cut
all the trees through several miles of the gap,
causing them to lap one another as they fell,
and obliging us to cut our way through.
Gen. Elliott was relieved and Gen. Wilson
took command of the Cavalry Corps Oct. 26,
1864 Nov. 6 found us in camp in Chattanoo-
"a, Tenn. Nov. l3 we started, via rail, for
Nashville, where we were the extreme left bat
terry, being on the Lebanon pike. Dec. 10 the
battle of Nashville was fought, we being on
the right Of the line, our division capturing
1900 prisoners, Is guns and 200 wagons thai
day. From here we went south, driving tho
rebels through Franklin, Columbia and Pu-
lsski, Tenn. Crossing Elk River, we continued
TO follow Hoods retreating army through Lex
ington, Ala, TO the river; then going TO Wat
erlOo and camping at Gravel Springs. With
the exception OLA scout or two we remained
here from Dec. 80, 1864, until March %, 1865,
Sherman having started for tho sea, we start,
Cd for the Gulf keeping on right flank of Sher-
mans army, going through MoUtevallO, Ran
dolph, Planters Station, Columbia Selma,
Montgomery, to Macon, Ga, lighting and
driving Wheeler's and Forests cavalry COM
mands
Macon was reached April %, 1865. On tho
next day We had rumor of the surrender of
Lee. We went into camp few miles out of
the city. While in camp the only sensations
were caused by the death of President Lincoln
and the capture of JEFF Davis by the First Bri-
gade of our division. The surrender of Gen,
Lee being fact-the so-called "Confederacy"
having cOlapsed-we started north May 3d.
via Atlanta and Chattanooga. After rest at
Chattanooga the guns were put on tho cars,
and the drivers went through to Nashville on
their horses.
June %, 1865, having turned over everything
OF Goyernment property, we were ready to move
IN light-marehing order.
June % we commenced the rail trip home,
reaching Chicago June p. That evening the
Board of Trade gave us banquet at Metropol-
itsn Hall.
July we were discharged.

Samuel Rogers, Co. H. 10th Mich, Marlette,
Mich, says the Regular Brigade did charge first
at Jonesboro and were driven back but they
fought hard, and left evidences of their bravery
on the field.
J. N. Stanford, 18th u. s., Charlotte, Tenn,
says that the 18th u. s. was commanded by
Capt Kellogg. Capt. Smith was absent on staff
duty and not with the 18th in tho fight Tho
Regular Brigade did capture the rebel works at
the left of tho angle, and stayed there until
driven out by the rebel reserve limo. Had they
been properly supported this would not have
happened. The charge of the 18th N. Y. was
over almost the same ground that the charge
of the Regulars had been.

HAPPY ORPHANS.

A hundred little chicks or more,
Downy, soft and yellow,
Were peepng out their discomfort
In voices far from mellow,
looked around in wonderment--
No mothers were at hand
TO gather meath their outstretehed wings
The doleful little band,
And as sazed, SMALL wee voice
From one chick seemed to say
"Perhaps you think we like it,
This fine, new tangled way;
But It's very dlsagreeable,
For, strange as 1t may seem,
We never had mother
They hatched us out by steam;
"And they call us happy orphans
When we are ready all to weep,
For no answering cluck comes back to us
Though we peep and peep and peep.
They say it's scientific,
And I've no doubt it is true,
But would rather have mother
Now, really, wouldn't you%

A Chat About the Esquimaux.

A Chat About the Esquimaux.
Far away in the cold, icy North a
curious people live called Esquimaux
about whom | am going to give you
little talk.
OF course people who live in re-
gions so cold that trees will not grow,
and where animals find it impossible
to exist, live in very different man.
ner from that to which we are accus-
toned. In Greenland houses are
built of bones, drifLwood and stones.
Farther north, where there is no drift
wood and where snow covers the
ground nine months in the year, they
have nothing to make their houses
from except the snow. | suppose
you think it is very curious that snow
houses do not melt in Summer. They
have Summers in the far North; but
they are Summers only in comparison
with the Winter. The ground re-
mains frozen and very little snow
melts. Such thing as one of our
Spring thaws is unknown. If they
should have one, think they would
be even more surprised than Robin
son Crusoe's savage, Friday, when
he saw snow for the first time.
The Esquimaux generally live near
the sea, rarely going away from 1t
more than twenty-five miles, although
they occasionally penetrate the inte-
rior farther. There is reason for
this in the fact, that they subsist to
great extent on seals and walruses,
which live in the sea.
The polar bears stay near the ocean
for the same purpose. Once in a
while body Of men will collect and
attempt to kill one. What q boon to
the poor people when they are so for
tunate as to capture one of these
fierce, arctic monsters The great
shaggy hide makes a nice warm coat !;
the fat makes candles; the sinews arc
used for strings for bows, and as
strong cords for many other purposes |;
and the meat furnishes half-staryed
families with plenty to eat.
just spoke Of candles; that re-
minds me that sometimes it is so cold
that the fame OF the candle will burn
down through the center leaving the
fat around it with hole through here
and there, making an odd kind of
overcoat. How would my readers
like to live in such place where even
the flame seems to need an overcoat?
The Esquimaux have been taught
from boyhood to drive dogs and they
are consequently very skillful. But
why have dogs instead Of hsrses?
1t is the lack Of fodder and the Sc

Dogs answer the purpose very well.
They require very little to eat, piece
Of fish perhaps and they are also very
useful in aiding their masters to hunt.
There is tribe of Laplanders who
live in northern Asia, who have deer
instead of dogs. These deer are very
swift, and it is said that they can run
between thirty and forty miles an
hour with a sled. They are very val
liable, and furnish meat, milk, cloth
ing, bones for weapons, and sinews
for cords. These Esquimaux have
not much use for money and have very
little to trade with. In consequence
they reckon their wealth in reindeer.
There are birds in the arctic re-
gions which the EsquImaux catch with
nets. A curious thing about them is,
that when winter comes they fly north.
This fact lead some to suppose that it
is warm at the North Pole. We may
find out sometime.
The Greenland Esquimaux are very
fond OF stories, which have been told
for generations. But they like the
stories told in exactly the same way
each time. II the story-telier should
happen to make mistake the edu-
Gated people would correct him, and
he would feel very much ashamed.
spoke of educated persons, sup
pose many think that the Equimaux
have no written language and no laws.
In Greenland they have written Ian
guage very much like that used in
Iceland; and in some places houses
may be found where the inhabitants
hold little tovn-meetings. The Es-
quimaux are not stupid as is gener-
ally supposed. The have some very
ingenious traps and weapons, which
prove that they are very intelligent
for a people who have such hard
time to get living.
There is . curious custom OF the
Esquimau1 that when baby dies the
next child born in the village shall re-
ceive Its name and place; and it is
always thought by the parents Of the
dead baby that the new one is in some
measure their child.
They have share in the care Of it,
and advise with its own parents about
the way Of bringing it up. Some
times the father and mother of the
new baby are too poor to feed and
clothe it, then the other father and
mother take it to their own "igloe,"
or snow-hut, and give it home there.
I suppose they are very glad when
this happens and the place Of their
own little one is filled, but Of course
the parents to whom the baby really
belongs are not Away, willing to give
it up so entirely. In that case the
foster-parents contribute something
each year to its support, and it lives
at home, coming, perhaps, now and
then to make long visit at the
''igloe" that is its other home
