BATTLE OF ANTIETAM.
Gen. Doubleday Tells What Troops Held the Corn
field

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: very In
teresting article appeared in your paper few
weeks ago in reference to the battle of Ante-
tam. 1t is in the main accurate, but contains
one error which desire to correct, and which
would seem to have originated in the CORE
spondent of the New York Times. After three
hours fighting at a crisis in the battle when it
became doubtful if we could hold the bloody
cornfed between the lines, Hooker, it is al
legged, sent word to Doubleday: "Send me your
best brigade" 1t is stated that this "best bri-
gade" went forward and held the field, which,
however, was lost later in the day.
Now, rs my division began the battle in the
morning and was the first to charge the enemy,
l had no brigade to spare, for three of mine,
under Gibbon, Patrick and Phelps, were already
closely engaged at the front. They had lost
heavily had captured six battlehags were out of
ammunition, and in obedience to an order from
Gen. Hooker were holding the position with
the bayonet / had another brigade, it is true,
under the gallant Hoffman,, but it was kept in
rear by a special order from Gen. Hooker in
consequence of q slight demonstration made by
Stuarts cavalry on that flank. 1t was Hart
SUITS Brigade, of Rckettss Division, that held
the cornfeld so handsomely, and not one of
mine. Ricketts, was entitled, l thought, to a
good deal of credit for the way in which he
handled his men, but through some misrepre-
sensations or misunderstanding he was relieved
from command at the close of the day by Gen.
Mcclellan, and his division was turned over to

Protest Against Glass Legislation.

J. G. driggs, Beverly, o., desires to call the
attention of Congress, and pensioners inter-
ested, to law passed a few years ago increas-
ing the pension Of those who had suffered am
putation This law increased the pension from
$50 TO $50 per month for the loss of an arm or
leg, and S45 if amputation is within six inches
of hip or shoulder joint. He thinks this law
all right, but does not think that it should stop
there, Us it discriminates against a class who,
in some cases. are more helpless than If they
had lost an arm or leg. The writer served from
November, 1861, to March, 1866. and during his
last years service lost his eyesight, being en-
tirely blind for year after discharge, when
an operation was performed and an artificial
pupil was made in the left eye, which, accord
ing to experts, gives him one-fortieth part of
sight. He receives $50 a month for this and
under the law is barred from increase. He
would give al arm or leg for eyes as good as he
had when he went into the service. He thinks
that Justice should be done as nearly as it can
be when laws are passed to pension those who
became disabled in the service. He does not
believe in class legislation.

Geo. w. Miller. AUSTIN No. thinks that there
is class of soldiers who did good service in
the State Home Guards. who enlisted to pro-
tect their country and families, and who helped
restore the Union, but who to-day cannot get
them mustered into the United States service.
The writer thinks that law should be passed
by Congress emitting the Home Guards to
pension, some of whom served more than the
REQUIRED time, as the law now stands. But
simply because they were not mustered into
the United States service they are not included
in the pension laws. He thinks every man
who served 80 days in defense of the Union,
no matter whether he was mustered into the
United States service or not. should receive the
benefits of the pension laws.

Defenders OF Mcdowell.

George B. Morgan, Co. E, 23d N. Y, Wavsrly,
NY, wishes to protest against comrades SLAM
dering the character of Gen. Irwin Mcdowell.
The writer thinks that at this distance and
time, and with the facts of history, that the old
chestnut about Gen. McDowelPs being in col
fusion with the rebels ought to be forever
buried. Gen. Mcdowell stood high, justly, in
the confidence of the authorities at Washington,
especially with President Lincoln, and Gen.
Pope was very emphatic in his commentator
of Gen. Mcdowell, whom he said was intensely
patriotic and loyal, and if he had been sup
ported by other officers of the army under his
command as earnestly and faithfully as he was
by Mcdowell, the result of his campaign in
Virginia would have been different. How
ridiculous it sounds for an old soldier 10 be told
that while battle was on that Mcdowell could
and did ride down in the immediate front of
the enemy's line, and the whole rebel army
ceased firing, and without doubt cams to pre-
