g. q. Hefin, Co. B, 102d Ill, Harlan, Iowa,
says the best way to hear from comrades is to
write to the soldiers friend, THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. The writer thinks the boys who
carried the musket did as much for their
country as the men who wore the stripes, and
that they should be given such credit. Com
rade Helm was a private and never failed to
do his duty when called upon; was in nine
hard fought battles. He says that while the
boys may differ in regard to the positions they
occupied, yet it is all in good faith for how
could any comrade, when he looks back over
the battlefelds, think hard of another who par
ticipated in the hardships of soldier life.

The comrade may have witnessed a scene
such az he describes and he, no doubt, did so
but the guilty party was not Gen. Crawford.
l can myself corroborate a part of the affair
alluded to, and happen to know who the per-
son was who thus seemed to be neglecting his
duty at this time when his services were needed
at the front. l was Private Secretary to Gen.
Warren Mt the time, and was carrying dis
patch to Meade's Headquarters, and in riding
along the road over which the main body OF
the army had lately passed, saw man of the
description which Comrade Laverty gives lying
down beside tree, apparently asleep. with his
wearing apparel somewhat soiled with mud
and bad usage, and wearing Generals uni
form: his horse, from which he had dis
mounted, grazing near by. I dismounted and
tried to arouse the sleeper, but without success,
as be had been indulging too freely in "com-
missary supplies" AS / had no time to waste
just then, passed on, and upon repassing the
spot some time after, found the General had

of my own State, and is still living, an hon.
orcd citizen Of one of the best families in the
State, his only falling being tendency to too
much conviviality. AS to his services in the
army, be WAS brave and daring officer, ever
ready to perform any duty, however hazardous.
i do not, however, desire to make his name pub
lie. as that would do no good, and only satisfy an
idle curiosity and think we should be willing
to draw at least u small corner of the mantle
Of charity over a man who left record Of
bravery and devotion in the annals Of his
country.
am not now and never was an admirer per-
sonally of Gen. Crawford, but long and faith

StOneman's Raiders.

VIM. Fawcett, Co. II. 1st U. 8. Dragons,
Jacksonville, Ind says the Boy Spy " con-
tanned very good account of the battle of
Kelly's Ford. The writer was along with that
part of the command, and was one of the boys
who cut down the poles at Louisa Courthouse
on the SLOVENIAN raid. Then they made a
rapid retreat, travelling until midnight, when
they came to the North Anna River, where an
old-fashioned bridge SPAWNED the river. The
bridge was supported in the center By two posts.
The rebels were camped on hill near by and
in plain view. The Lieutenant ordered two
men to 60 halfway up the hill to act as pickets.
The writer was ordered to go down and bore
hole in the main post and put in torpedo.
When everything was ready the fuse was lit.
The bridge swung down out of shape, but the
other post held it up. This created great ex-
element in the rebel camp. The bridge caught
on fire and Lit up the place to such an extent
that when the writer attempted to ascend from
the bridge the rebels opened fire upon him.

Death OF Col. Hull,

NH Eudsley, Cos. F and B. I'd n. z. Cav,
Fredonia, Kan, says that THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE states that Col. Walter C. Hull, I'd
N. Y. Cav, was killed at Cedar Creek, and
Lieut.. Robinson, of the I'd Ohio Cav, says that
he was killed on the 10Th of September, 1864
near Winchester. Both are mistaken, IS ne was
killed not far from Cedar Creek on Nov. IL,
1864. The 18th Pa. Cav. was on picket, and
was run in by the rebels, and the I'd N. Y.
was ordered out, and having lot of new men
who had never been under fire, the four old
companies of their regiment were thrown out
as skirmishers The writer and Pat Ambrose
were on the left of the road, and in crossing q
ravine the center of the line got ahead of them,
and the new men became confused. Col. Hull
was on the skirmish-iine, and he turned to go
to the rear and bring the new men up, and
when he reached the writer's side he threw up
his hands with the exclamation, ooh, my Godi"
pitched forward and fell from his horse, one of
his spurs catching on the cantle OF the saddle.
The writer loosened his foot and he fell to
the ground. He was placed on his horse and
carried to the rear. The writer does not be-
lieve that Lieut.. Robinson saw him killed, and
that he is away off when he says the advance
was led by the Cd Ohio on the 18th of Sepiem-
ber for he knows that the Cd N. 7. Cav. was
in the advance and crossed the Opequan. and
drove in the rebel pckets. Records of the

SAMUEL c. WOoDsoN,

fact the certain Santa Fe conductor that
he refers TO has circulated no such re-
ports in regard to his voting or any other
Santa Fe conductor. For they all know
too well Mr.. Woodson's politics and
Sam Woodson is the last man On earth
that should bring any Santa Fe conduc-
tors name into print. SammIe, you
ought not to publicly show your ingrati-
tude after favors you have received and
accepted the hands of the Santa Fe
and its employees for they will probably
be on to you and remember you IN the
future and l know you did not intend
to give yourself away; neither did
know that you were running the
Rock Island men. Hadn't you better
put a guard over them ''Sammie" so
that the Santa Fe men cannot come in
contact with them and contaminate
them politically. Think you will find

that you do not know as much about
Rock Island men as you think you do.
Think you will find that they are too
