New YORK., Jan. %. = Pat Sheedy,
when shown Pugilist jim Corbett's reply
to his recent pronunciamento upon
methods of modern fighters and fakirs,
thus joins issue with the California pugi-
list: "My letter had one good effect at
least-it stung Corbett into manly action.
He now descends from his high pedestal
and says he will fight Mitchell or Jack
son, in the order named, or if they be not
agreeable, any man in the world next

Sheedy then combatted Corbett's stale-
ment as to the earnings of clubs giving
fights, by.an array of what he asserted to
be authentic figures. zone word by way
of concluslon," said he, land [ think it
will prove a painful surpise to Corbett:
That gentleman assails my infallibility
as an oracle, and says predicted his de-
feat by Sullivan in three rounds. l did
not say Sullivan would whip him in three
rounds. Corbett, however, must have
become impressed with that belief, for he.
so L am credibly informed, forwarded
$1,000 to San Francisco to bet against
$500 that Sullivan would defeat him.
He apparently did not have that supreme
confidence in himself that he now DOS
sesses, and he cast his anchor to windward,
This assertion is no mere hearsay. L
obtained this knowledge of Corbett's
distrust of his own capabilities from a
gentleman who accompanied him to the
battle-ground. He saw him dispatch the
money to his brother, bookmaker in

That thrifty gentleman is sure

shot that when the time for fighting does
come around, Corbett will be looking
for 'an angel or hacker, as he calls him,

coRBETT DENoUNCEs TIE STATEMENT
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.- Corbett denounces
Sheedy's statement that he had forwarded
$1,000 to San Francisco to bet on Sullivan
as malicious and unwarranted false
hood. He further says: Il am at a loss
to understand why Sheedy should attack
me. unless he wishes to gain notoriety
for himself. The idea Of Sheedy posing
as reformer of pugilism. or a reformer
OF anything, is ridiculous. He is short
card gambler, man who has all his life
made living of the credulty of suckers.

- which are true as far as they go; but,
as you say you can secure no other
information as to the regiment, / VIII, as
zone of them," give brief history as l
recall my first enlistment
AS you have stated, the regiment was
organized "at large" but, what you have
not said, it was enlisted for prison-guard
service as we each were assured, or our
parents were. Most of the regiment, or the
seven companies OF it rendezvoused at Camp
Morton, were youths and old men who
would not pass muster into the three years.
service at that time-June, 1862 While
acting as prison guards at Camp Morton,
and less than month after our enlistment,
the Governor of Kentucky-then trying to
be neutral-called on our Gov. Morton to
send troops to defend the archives at Frank
fort, as John Morgan was marching on the
Kentucky Capital with avowed threats of
destroying it. A courier was sent ont TO
our camp at the northwest corner of old
Camp Morton, and shortly we were in line
to listen to a proposition. After the request
from Kentucky was announced, we were
asked to vote upon whether we would 90,
and the vote was made by all who would go
taking two PAGES to the front. Nearly all
came to the front, and we were hustled off
to Frankfort, muchly enthused, where we
arrived about an hour ahead of Mr.. Nor
gan, and found bountiful repast spread for
us on the blue grass in the Statehouse
grounds, the which we were heartily inyes-
tigating when the alarm was sounded.
Well, when the alarm was sounded, Nor
gan came, saw, but did not conquer; al
though | fear he could have done SO not
withstanding our four to one Of his COM
mand. He ran and the 55th followed, and
kept following until about the last of Au-
gust.
Our seven companies Of the 55th Ind and
several other regiments and batteries were
drawn into the Richmond (Ky.) battle,
where we met with the losses mentioned in
issue of July 90. The number of wounded
was not given, and, as many went home and
never reported to Surgeon, it is unknown.
The Union forces were badly whipped by
Kirby Smith, and the time of our regiment
being out we tarried not until we reached
cur mothers. Most of our men were capt
ured, but Immediately paroled, and over
took those who escaped before arriving at
the Ohio River at Maysville, where we en-
barked, very tired from our all-night forced
march.
OF the history of the three other COM
panies belonging to the 55th l know moth
ing, except the report that they were organ
lied after we left the State, and served out
their time down at Paducah or in that
neighborhood, and were not, of course mus
tered ont with us.

ence to the Saunders raid, we were "not in

This detail took its place in the line of the

Col. Gilbert, of the 44th Ohio, accom-

! and crossed the river with US, and marched
several miles beyond with the remainder of
the 44th Ohio, and perhaps portion, if not
all, of the 45th Ohio, or details from other
regiments, until his command numbered
about the same as did that of Col. Saunders.
After we had marched several miles be-
yOnd the Cumberland River, Col. Gilbert
turned square to the left taking road run

| structions were to continue his march or

The details given by me in my former arti-

of the 1st Tenn, together with that of the
section of artillery that accompanied us,
