is correct regarding the charge made by the

N. for burying the dead, but they found that
the JOhnnies had gone. The writer was on the
ground. and saw the 1st Tex. Cav. buryiug
what they could before the truce expired. He
will never forget the way in which they
brought the last two or three men and threw
them into a large, round hole, then threw in a
few shovels Of dirt. One mans nose and fin
gers stuck out Of the dirt, and a rebel raised
his shovel and struck tho corpse on the nose
and, after throwing on a little more dirt
mounted and rode of. He remembers the
screams of the mother and daughter who lived
in the house around which the 10Th Iowa and
the left Of the Goth had their last Sighting,
when they found father son and sOn-in-law all
dead within few yards Of their own door.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Gov Wal
den's letter or article on the Lost Brigade is
a most interesting description Of some very
bard service, and / hope il will bring ont other
accounts Of CrOxtOn's cavalry. which has
figured less in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE than
many other organizations, although its expert
ence was varied and effective. Every mem
Der Of the brigade should write a personal re-
quest to Capt. Walden, and offer to subscribe
if he will bring out in book form history Of
Croxton's cavalry, and incorporate in it his
history Of the Sth Iowa Cav, for he has shown
himself TO be the ablest writer among our sur
vivors and I am happy to learn that Iowa
threatens 70 send him 10 Congress, and wish
his district extended into Illinois, that might
have the privilege Of voting for him. He will
prove a gallant supporter Of the soldiers cause

the 9th Ky. a smooth description of her failure
to hold the rebel advance, and probably fear
ing. or stunning the light of comparison, does
not give the 2d Mich Cav. the strong approval
she merits for the success that followed that
evenings failure. Disclaiming any criticism
Of Capt. Walden's handling Of the subject the
impression Of the rank and file was that the
9th Ky. got glOriously scoOped, and the I'd
Mich. kept up its unbroken record of always
doing whatever any other single regiment Of
the brigade failed to accomplish.
The meanest thing done during the war was
the killing Of those cadets at Tuscaloosa, Ala,
the night we stole across that bridge and broke
up the wedding supper, and / have always
hoped that the shot that did it was accidental,
for they were incapable Of doing US harm and
while many Of US in that brigade were mere
youths, we had often heard the zip Of the
bullet and felt the nip Of the grayback, and
knew what battle meant; while those boys and
their bright uniforms were for the drawing

BATTLE OF SHILOH.
Comrade Pratt Grows Sarcastic Toward Comrade
McGarrauEh.


EDITOR NATIoSAL tribune: All on &C.
count Of that article Of mine about the battle
Of Shiloh, published in THE NATIONAL TRfB.
UNE June % received an awful letter from
Comradc McGarraugh, Of the l4th Iowa. lie
seems 10 feel bad about something. lie tells
me that his article, published May p, 10 which
i referred, was the first lie ever wrote for the
press aud will probably be the last. for one
was delighted with what he wrote, and truly
hope 10 sec more from his pen. lie seemed TO
relieve his generous heart from great burden
by saying w. ii. L. Wallace's command saved
Gen. Grants army from a watery grave in the
Tennessee, Sunday night, April 6.
il don't make me bit tired TO have him
talk that way. We are all getting used TO that
kind Of talk However, the way look az the
matter is this: While the little band he speaks
Of was taking It's medicine over toward tie left,
and while IL was marching toward the rebel rear
TO the tune Of Dixie" Uncle Billy Sherman
boys were pelting the rebs over on the right
with Yankee lead, aud just the same thing
was going on all along the line. Ergo, | think
the Army Of the Tennessee saved itself.
Now as 10 that letter from tho comrade an
swerng my article j did not expect him 20
take the bait so promptly Unlike him, do
sometimes write for the papers, but what have
10 say is with view TO fun, love, or matri-
mony," with the love and matTimony left out.
Early during our soldier life we learned TO
adopt the motto 4" Give us fun or give us death. -
