Where Are Thsyl
Mart Howe Co. d. 3ith Ohio, Lincoln, Neb,
wants TO hear from members Of the Eighth
Corps, and especially from those who partici-
pated in the memorable raid under Gen Averell
20 Lynchburg, Va. If they are not all dead be-
! hopes some Of them viii write him, as he wishes
towrite sketch the mounted party S services
while going through the West Virginia Mount
aims. lie thinks first Impressions the most
lasting, and does not believe be can ever forget
the raid through Wytheville to LyHchburg and
the subsequent retreat.
Is the Comrade Correetl
Charles V. Mosler. Orderly Sergeant. Co. p
lOoth \. ", Gasport thinks that the charge
made By COmrade Hunters0n SSth Pa, against
Gen. Mcdowell is strictly true. At the second
\ battle Of Bull Run Ricketts, Division was on
the extreme left Of the line Early on the
morning Of the second day Gen. Ricketts, formed
| his division in three lines Of battle, aud they
made a number Of charges into the woods and TO
/ the railroad embaBkment. After making three
or four unsuccessful charges they were ordered
to fall back out Of the woods into a meadow,
and ordered TO hold the position at all hazards.
| About noon Gen. Mcdowell with that peculiar
/ cap on mentioned by Comrade Huu5erson]
/ rode between the front line and the edge Of
/ the woods, where shortly after two rebel regi-
meuts came out and charged upon the lO5th n.
l y. and IhOmpSOn's battery, and when they
/ were compelled to fall back found no support
/ Upon inquiry 10 was found that the rest OF the
/ division bad been ordered back and were out
1 OF reach as supports for our thin line The
writer believes that this was done purposely
I and the faet that Mcdowell could ride alone
I between the lines within easy musket range Of

strange to the writer and he believes that il
there was traitor IN the army, Mcdowell was
the man. The writer has also heard him use
I epIthets TO the men i'm the ranks which were a
disgrace to the position he held, and which
would astonish and disgust the most debase Of
the human race. lie thinks that if the men
VINO were killed i'm the second DAVIS fight at
Bull Run could speak and tell where they saw
I Mcdowell the night after the first days fight
| they would be convinced that what he did was
not just right.
Thinks 1t Fair Enough.
/ s. +. Morrison, South Wellington, Conn. hav-
\ Ing noticed Lieut. Foote'S article on pensions
aud the comments Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
says that he does not believe that the act Of
I june 1890 was intended for the pension attor-
neys benefit, but for those soldiers who though
\ not wounded, contracted disease on account Of
| which they are as much entitled % pensions
\ and many Of them more so. than those who
/ were wounded, but who could not possibly get
I one under the old laws. He does not believe
/ that any soldier is not willing to allow an at
/ torney the small sum Of SO to prosecute his
\ claim.
I Very Ola Comrade.
Thonas S. Yaute, Sergeant Major Of Gordon
/ Post POI, Department Of Indiana, Haney's
/ Corner, Ind, says they have cOmrade in their
/ Post who is % years old, who comes to the
| meeting Of the Post regularly. The comrade
| was IN the war Of 1872, and also served in the

that Gordon Post takesthe cake.

\ cles % his regiment, which belonged to the First
\ Brigade. Second Division, Sixth Corps, for the
/ part they took at Gettysburg, yet he wants to
\ assure the comrades that they arrived lust in
l time 20 save Round Top The 10th was or

/ and the regiment was ordered back by an Aid.
The writer's regiment followed the retreating

John Waddell, Battery I, 1st Ohio l.. A.. Coal
burg, o., says that J. Smith, in a recent Picket
/ Shot spoke of Hyman'5 battery IT, 1st Ohio L.
