Battle OF Antietam.
e. R. p. Shurly, 26th N. Y, writes: In an
article written by Robt A. Sherer in your
issue Of May 26 he shows how sadly age affects
the memory. In fact, it is while reading such
squbs that came to the conclusion that there
was great waste of money and lives when our
Government called into service so many men,
spending millions of dollars. when only one bril-
gsde was necessary to put down the rebellion.
No one will for q moment dispute the courage
OF Col. Coulter or Gen. Hartsuf or the efficiency
OF the brigade, but, al a matter OF history, they
will dispute tho yarn of Comradc Shersr. The
fact is that Ricketts's Division opened the fight.
One brigade did not accomplish more than
another. None of them went up the hill; none
were engaged until after passing through the
corn0eld Mother were there any brigades OF
Ricketts, Division streaming to the rear
neither does there appear any historical report
or return showing that tho 1lth Pa. went into
the fight 235 strong and lost 125 killed and
wounded. The trouble is that history is made
up by too many men who saw these battles
through the steam of their coffee kettles from
some knoll in the rear"

The 4th Ohio was in It.

Wash, writes " In your issue of May 5, ]. b.
Kirk. of Co. II, 10Th Ohio, says that the 4th
Ohio was not at the battle Of Rich Mountain,
July H. 1861. The facts are these Gen. Rose
Grams had made flank movement aud got in
the rear of the rebel works, and made vigor-
Gus attack. He had with him three Indiana
regiments and the 10Th Ohio; aud while he
was giving them what Paddy gave the drum
