George Amick, Co. n, 31st Wis, Otsego,
| Mich, thinks that Comrade Beale's criticisms
of the 6lst and SD Ohio are altogether too
| severe and entirely undeserved On March 10.
| % years ago, one of the hardest-fought battles
| of the war occurred at Bentonvile. N. c., and
| those two Ohio regiments stood like heroes
with the rest Of the brigade On tho Atlanta
campaign, through Georgia, at the taking of
| Savannah, through the Carolinas, at Averys
| borO and Bentonsville, the Union forces won
at cost of many lives of these selfsame run
Always.

cruited by the Board of Trade of Buffalo, having

w. Il. Hamilton, Co. G.. 9Th Mich, St. Johns,
Mich says that Col. Thomas +. Mccoy, 10th
Pa, in his account of the battle Of the Weldon
Railroad is mistaken when he says that the
Fifth Corps did that job alone. This corps, as
he states, was withdrawn from the trenches
August 49, 1864 and on the 18th the First and
Second Divisions of the Ninth Corps were also
drawn ont of the works in front Of tho old
| crater, where they had been since June l5. The
Fifth Corps went to the left of the army aud on
August Is captured the Weldon Railroad at
what was called the Yellow House. The First
and Second Divisions of the Ninth Corps ar
rived in the vicinity about three o'clock p. m
on the 18th just in time to save the Fifth
Corps from destruction, as the two divisions
filled the gap between that corps and the main
line just as the Johnnies were filing in its rear
and right flank.

Give Them Their Dues.
Warren G. Hursh, Co. g, lst N. j. Cav, Lay
| ton, N. j., says that he sees efforts arc being
made to raise the pension of Mrs Fitzpatrick
| TO 800 a month. This may be all right, but
there are thousands of soldiers who braved the
| exposure incident to soldiers life in the lato
| war, who arc to-day receiving tho munificent
sum of 81 a month, while others are receiving
| 81 a month.
w. +. Hallbrook Co. d. 9th Kan Cav, Mon.
ument. Colo, thinks the law providing for the
pensioning of disabled veterans should be
changed especially that part which requires
them to prove that their disability originated
while in the service. This clause might have
been all right20 years ago, but IL is unjust now.
At this late day there is not one in ten who can
obtain sufficient evidence to establish his
| claim.
