tracted my attention. lie takes umbrage at the
attacks made upon Gen. Alger. All veterans of
the late war deplore this unwarranted attack on
his name. This matter was first unearthed
during the canvassing for candidates for the
Gen. Alger began to loom up az possible can
didate It was the work of contemplate and
unprincipled politicians. This class have no
respect for the veteran, and will leave no stone
unturned to get a chance to smirch the reputa-
tion of a veteran soldier With knowledge of
these facts 1t seems to me the proper policy to
pursue on the part of the yerersns of the late
war would be to stand by each other; cover up
any shortcomings on the part of those who
stood shoulder to shoulder with them in the
hour of danger. Gen. Alger has war record,
and it is before the public. He is credited with
being brave and efficient officer. According
to the 1st Iowa cavalryman, Gen. Custer also
has record. To quota his own words, He was
the Murat of the American armies In justice
to all concerned, would like to ask what bens-
fit can accrue to any one by writing the article
that casts so many reflections on tho late Gen.
Custer one whom mono would dare to assert
that in the matter of bravery in the field he was
excelled in the Union army. He died like a
true soldier, fighting Tor the flag that he adored.
Under these circumstances it seems to me it
would have been better if the mantle OF charity
had been thrown over these things that were
written. instead of sowing them broadcast
to the world. The lamented Custer is not here
to answer or vindicate himself. Under such
circumstances it seems to me that lowa's zeal
for Gen. Alger carried him too far; for where
can any benefit accrue to Gen. Alger by simply
smirching Gen. Custer; besides, il seems to Inc
in very bad taste for one soldier, by either
voice or pen, to attempt to injurs or black

Gle the above with the following:
Gen. LanmaD, with the First Brigade of his
Division, arrived at Young's Point May 10.
We landed, and after unloading started to
march across the Point. After marching a
mile or two wo were couutermarched back to
the landing, where We stacked knapsacks, and
leaving tents, wagons. camp equipage, etc, we
were given 100 rounds of ammunition to the
man, and again went on board the boats.
Early the next morning, conveyed by fleet OF
punboats under command of Lieut. Commander
L. K. Brecse, we steamed up the river. Turning
into the Yazoo. we proceeded up that stream
till near Haynes Bluff, when tho troops were
landed, coors were unfurled aud it was ex-
pected that we were going right into battle !;
but when VIC got in sight of the works, the
whole bluff side was covered with smoke. We
found the works abandoned, the guns all
spiked the gun carriages more Or less destroyed,
and the camp cquipagc, etc, all burning The
guns IL III number, were big fellows, and
and 0-inch smoothbores and 7l-iuch rifles
Some of these guns were afterwards hauled
to our lines tho spikes withdrawn, and were
used during the siege. During the day two
large magazines blew up, aud one situated
within the works blew up soon after we got
there; the other, on bluf a half milo or SO
toward YicEshu blew up n the afternoon.
History says that after the battle OF the Big
Black Penberton ordered HerberPs Brigade,
which formed tho garrison at Haynes Bluff,
to return to Vicksburg, leaving two companies
to spike the guns and blow up tho magazines
on the approach of the enemy.
Now. the question arises, when did these two
companies abandon the works? Prof. Hobbs
says that Col. Swan found them abandoned the
afternoon of the 18th. My diary says the

the water. It made US laugh to see a fellow
carefully take off his shoes and stockings roll
up his pantaloons and then find that his legs
were too short TO keep his pants dry. 1t was
satisfaction to see the horses of the cavalry
and mules of the wagon trains plunge their
heads in and gup down huge swallows OF
water.
We must have remained an hour or moro
looking on at the moving panorama. The head
of a cavalry regiment had Just entered the ford,
and the first horses were beginning to drink,
when from over in the woods beyond we heard
the rebel yell, Immediately followed by tre-
mendous uproar, amid which we could dIstln-
guish pistolshOts, shouts, curses, yelis clashing
of ssbers, and the usual hub-bub of a hand to-
hand encounter. 1t was all hidden from us by o
dense growth of bushes along the river bank,
and all we could see was a rush OF excited ana
frightened cavalry pouring out of the woods
along narrow road, some mounted, some on
foot, some without hats, and some evidently
wounded How they made the water fly. No
one thought of stopping to water their steecS.
Their war cry seemed to be, "The devil take
the hindmost." Presently we heard the exult-
ant yels no more; two or three voileys OF mus
kerry and scattering shots, then hearty Yam
kee cheer, aud the hnbbub was over.
While they wero still wildly rushing over
the ford our band struck up "Ain't glad Pm
out of the wilderness" I thought ! had never
heard music so appropriate to the occasion, and
the same thought seemed to strike every one
within hearing, for it was received with the
heartiest cheering followed by universal
laughing. What regiment it was that got SO
roughly handled | must have heard at tho
time but have forgotten but 1t might have
happened to any cavalry regiment in our SER
vice. for we were not sufficiently drilled at
that time to receive charges in flank on n
marching column, and in such close quarters.
It was ono of the most exciting little events /
ever witnessed, and I have often wondered
why some one of the participants did not write
it up. The Johnnies certainly have no reason
to be ashamed of the transaction. for the honors
remained with them.-ED. n. WATSON, Co. b,
