The National tribune., 1890-05-01

made the bayOnet charge at JonesbOro which
were the Third Brigade, First Division, Four-
teenth Corps, composed of the LIST Wis, 3Sth
Ind. and 10Th Pa, joined on the left by the 10th
u. S., and extending to the railroad. In all
about 500 prisoners were captured.
A Sore Spot.
f. II. Colcord. Captain, Co. K, 112th H., Vim
ton, Iowa, was a member OF the Twenty third
Corps and thinks that the records will bear
him out in the assertion that il marched as far
and did as much hardlf fighting rs any corps, and
that at no time was it ever whipped. OF course
ii was sometimes driven back on account of
bein. largely Outuumbered, as at Knoxville.
In Gen. Schofeld il had a noble and gallant
leader and one in whom Gen. Sherman had the
greatest confidence. lie thinks that Shelen-
berger must either be out of his mind or have
al 10 grind.
wu@Creutzman, Co. d, 1st Mo. L. A, Cotton
wood, Mont, thinks it about time 10 call
halt on COmrade Shellenberger when he
cuses Gen. Schofeld OF cowardice. That 9TH
Ger never was a coward, but one of the nOblest,
truest and brayest in the United States Army.
The writer was with him at Wilson's Creek,
when he showed bravery of the highest order.
Lewis f. Becker, Corporal, Co. A. I04th Ohio,
Canal Fulton. o.. says ShellenbergeT's attack on
the Tweuty-thiTd Corps was uncsilled for and
his attempt 10 tarnish the fair fame of Gen.
Schofeid will prove futile. The writer fol-
lowed the flag OF the Twenty-third Corps from
tho date of its organization Except for about
one week after being disabled Nov. % 1864
until his discharge at Greensboro, n. C., in
June, 1865.
That ReSaca Battery.
NJ. r. Denniston, Corporal, Co. B, SD y. J.,
Washingtonville, y. j., says that the Jersey
man who had an article in the issue Of March
20 in regard to the battery at Resaca, and the
part the SD took in that affair is correct in
every particular. Some members of the
writer's company were in the detail that re-
moved those guns during the night after the
battle. The Second Brigade, Second Division,
Twentieth Corps was composed at that time of
the Sd y. j., ll9th 18th and 15ith n. Y, aud
the 73d PA. The eth Pa. went home before
the battle, and the writer knows nothing what
ever of the Tooth Pa.
Stephen CoddingtOn, Captain CO. +, 5th Ohio
Newton, O., SAYS the boys who dragged the
battery off at Resaca on the night of May 10.
1861, belonged to the 9Th Ohio, for he had
charge of the last gun that came of, and took
it TO headquarters.
Why Don't They Write!
o. Kraft. Co. A, 9th Iowa. Fort Washington, o.,
wants 10 know 4 some of the Iowa Grayhounds
are among the readers of our true cham
pion of the old vets, and whether they belong
to the GAR. He would like to hear from
them by letter.
VIM. Netf, Co. I, LIST n. Y. T.. A.. Brayton.
Iowa, has never seen any letters from the com
radcs belonging to his battery, and would like
To hear from some of the boys either by letter
or through Tue NATIONAL tribune This was
WiedTichs battery, whose men behaved so well
when charged by the Louisiana Tigers the even
ing of July at Gettysburg.
Miles W. Brick, Co. X 50th Pa, and Co C.,

tions from memberS of the 50th Pa. and Co. G.,

| VIM. T.. Hughes, Drummer, Co. II, Goth Ohio,
| Niles, o.. read our Open Letter to Stone of Mis-
souri,, with much interest. lie thinks We hit
him pretty hard, but not harder than ne de-
served.
Our Open letters.
| d. G. Graves, Co. II, SD Pa, FL Dorado
! Springs. Mo-. says that while Stone was max ing
| a campaign speech in the opera house at FL
| Dorado Springs in October, 1855, he said that
| while he was Il Democrat in principle. he wished
| all ex-Union soldiers To understand that he
| was in favor of and would do all in his power to
| help any and all honorable pension legislation.
A. Ill. Warren, Co. H. 10th Mass, Ashield,
Mass, cOngratulates us on our Open Letter to
Congressman Stone. who says the Presidency
| was sold to the highest bidder. Now, if Com
rade Warren not mistaken, Grover Cleveland
| made his bid when he vetoed the dependent
pension bill. and he got left. Mr.. Stone stands
| the same chance now that Cleveland did then.
james Thomas Hurst, Corning Mo-, was sur
! pTised to see that Stone had made such n speech
against tho veterans, aud says that while we
| arc giving it to him through our columns, Ia
throw just one rock for him.
