into our lines telling the General to forward
reinforcements at onces that With assistance
they could hold the fort, as the rebels were
ready to leave the island, and that they now
come out to blame Gen. Gilmore with the
blunder.
What do the old survivors, who participated
in that awful slaughter on tho 18th and 18th OF
July, 1863, think OF this claim of Kost's against
historical writings? Do you believe that the
9th Conn. alone took the fort at dusk and held
it in their hands until one clock the next morn
ing? That 99 men ont of his regiment did all
the fighting at Wagner7 Then you must come to
the conclusion that the balance Of his regiment
(unless they were all killed and wounded), the
4Sth N. Y, Sd N. H., 7th Conn, 9th Me-, 10th
Pa, were all towards in not coming to their
rescue. "
If Gen. Strong, who stood under fire and
formed his brigade, as company after company
jumped out of the boats on the morning OF the
10th, as cool as if On dress parade. and so
bravely led his men across the inlet to the
capture of all the batteries south of Wagner,
and who was in the front on the night of the
18th, fell mortally wounded; If he, standing
under the sweeping fire, believed that the fort
was in the hands of the 9th Conn. would he
not have promptly sent them reinforcement?
If the 9th Conn. held the fort, why were the
rebel guns not slenced?
Lieut.. Kost was, no doubt brave soldier,
the 9th was gallant regiment; but man who
talks too much of his own exploits, is apt to
draw on his imagination for facts. His regi-.
ment may have gotten into an outwork OF
Wagner, but / still believe it was impossible
to get into the main works. c. MILLER,
