At the time Of the passage Of tho

known to be Of Il highly mineral character.

Several ex-rebels happened Ia while we were
at the shop, when an argument arose over the
result Of the war. noisy rebel claimed they
were not whipped or subdued. only OyeTpow-
cred, while Sergt Cressey claimed that they
were whipped.
The discussion waXed warm, and the rebel
finally allowed" that he was not whipped and
that no Yankee could whip him. Serg't Cressey
said the rest were AL whipped bat him, aud he
would finish putting down the rebellion then
aud there, at tho same time hanging up his
coat. The way he charged on that fellow was
a caution. In about five minutes he was the
worst whipped rebel since 1851, and was taken
away by his friends. Thus Go. b, III n. Y

EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: / have lust
been looking over my paper, which is first aud
foremost Of all my reading, and saw in the Aug.
9th number. the defense of Chaplain Rogers
about his fighting abilities. which brings to
mind little thing that happened at Gritith's
Mills Miss, in December, 1854. Our brigade was
sent on a scout west of Mobile Bay to learn what
defeuses we wOald have to make TO protect
Mobile Getting off the transports at Wiliams's
Mills, we were marched north some 90 miles, to
Griiith's Mills, where we lay for a few days.
One forenoon the pckets were driven in, and the
Goth Wis. were out ia short order and on the
run crossed a small creek ia the direction of
the firing. Chaplain Walters, Of the Goth, astrIde
of a uervy little horse, was riding beside the
Colonel. When the command came up TO the
pckets the Colonel ordered a charge, and with
a shout the boys sprang toward squad of
rebel cavalry. when the Chapan's horse, got
ting fired with the shooting, went out ut a great
pace for the Johnnies, the Colonel not being able
10 keep up. The rebs were out Of the way,
and the boys often laughed about the charge
the Colonel and Chaplain made when they
drove the cavalry from our front; the Chaplain
only having his walking-stiek in his hand 10
whip them with.-W. S. p, Co. b, Goth Wis,

than even the one mentioned above, only on a
smaller scale. One Allen, a soldier hating Col
lectOr of Internal Revenue for East Tennessee,
bad among his deputies our tOwHsman, and q
true eOmrade, Mr.. l.. b. Jones. Mr. Jones be-
longs to a fighting family Of East Tennessee
lOyalists, and was the youngest of six brothers
that made their way through the Confederate
lines, travelling by night, and by unfrequentsd
routes through the mountains, until they
reached the Union army, when they all
promptly enlisted and fought through the
war.
1t became necessary for this deleetable Col
lectOr to remove one of his deputies and Com
rade Jones was the recipient of his poisoned
shaft, although known to be one Of the most
efficient and capable officers in the district. A
civilian is now performing the duties hereto
fore assigned Deputy Jones. If Commissioner
Mason is the friend 20 the soldiers that Seere-
tary Foster has proved himself TO be- veterans

have the preference when they are competent

Peck finds it difficult to get a correct list OF

by giving publicity to this request hopes to So
cure larger number than he otherwise would.
If the Vermonters in different parts of the conn-
try could see the splendid work that is being
done on the Vermont troops roster aud the
great care that is taken in searching for all
matters of detail, they would respond promptly
to this request.
