Comrade Phelps Thanks Another Veteran
for Timely Correction.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the
issue of Sept. % II. B. Turrell, of the I'D
Ohio, writes about what regiment was first
in Jackson, Miss, May IA, 1868, and states
that the 95th Ohio and not the 9Th Wis can't
ured the nine-gun battery.
The members of the 95th Ohio feel very
grateful toward Comrade Turrell for the
pains he has taken to look up the official
reports, which proved beyond doubt which
regiment took those guns and the prisoners
The I'D and 95th Ohio were in one bril-
gade with the 93d Ind, Hath Ill.,, and 10th
Mimi.
No doubt had the 9Th Wis, I'D Ohio, or
any other of the many regiments there in
the command been ordered TO take the posi-
ton they would have done so.
We served for so long time with these
different regiments that we are acquainted
with the valor and bravery of those men.
We all seem closely connected in one family
relation.
No doubt the Second Brigade and the
whole of the Third Division of the Fifteenth
Corps went eagerly forward as soon as they
received orders to do so.
find that il is much safer to refer to nv
diary to get facts than to rely upon my
memory OF occurrences of 80 years ago. We
feel that it is much better to have this

Lee from his only possible line of retreat.
Meade never forgave him for capturing more
prisoners and guns with his flying horse
than did all the rest of the army, and for
finally first receiving the flag of surrender.
Because the cavalry rose above its neglect;
because it taught itself how to fight; because
it won from the enemy tribute that the
commanding Generals refused, and taught
the world a new tactics and a new art
of war; because it made some victories
possible and other victories complete, it is
eminently proper that its history should be
written by a friendly hand in order that its
daring should not pass unnoticed or its dead
lie nhonored.-CENTAUR

The Cavalry, and Its Behavior and Import
ance in the Civil War.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At the
Grand Army meeting IN Washington last
year there was no expression, perhaps, more
pronounced than that of the cavalry Re-
union when 1T declared that infantTymen
had written the history of the last war, and
written ii uniustly, and steps were taken 10
secure such revision and correction as would
give the Cavalry Corps its proper place and
credit.
As was feared, the attempt to create a
committee of g. members and to distribute
this work has failed, and it has been sug-
gested that while there are yet living wit
nesses the facts that are not of official record
should be collected, and at least preserved
for the future historian, and the eonslderate
offer Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE 10 set aside
a drawer for correspondents who may give
brief descriptions of battle scenes and in
dividual acts of herOism, and such personal
description of prominent officers, and of the
aspect of nature as may furnish the compiler
with the warp and wool of perfect narrative,
and your further offer OF space Tor such critics
as from time to time will draw out criticism
and insure correction, seem to open the way
to a history of the cavalry Of the Army OF
the Potomac.
Whoever would give this cavalry its true
place must describe an army that was dis
credited at the beginning, that was dis
cipliDed on the field, drilled in action, and
that forced its way to late recognition. In
1861 cavalry was in disfavor in the military
world. The hollow squares OF Napoleon and

tinguishable in the immense throng by the grace

To n large extent the success OF the Fair depends

from present indications they will not be disap-

worked, in that earlier making of history,
mainly against the cavalry. Newspaper
writers could few of them ride, and even
these were rarely willing to expose them
selves IN the advance positions where the
cavalry DID its best work, preerring the
comfort and the safety at Headquarters.
There were some who rode for the farthest
and the iiercest fray, but these secured little
space in the columns of the day, and when
men came to write permanent history, they
used the materials then prepared. An illus
traton of this may be found in Swinton,
who of 494 pages gives only four pages to the
cavalry of the East.
Perhaps the most pronounced enemy of
the cavalry was Gen. Meade. Every move
ment of horse seems to have been against
his judgment, every victory without his
recognition. In his report of Gettysburg
the important and perhaps decisive part the
cavalry took is unnotced, and the only
General who fell within the euemy's lines,
and he dead, with FIVE wounds, is not even
named.
Fitzpatrick, Custer and Gregg and Merritt
were forever fighting without orders. When
Sheridan came and suggested that the worn
out horses should be taken off picket duty
and got ready for field service, he was
treated as marplOt, and when he asked for
the privilege of going out to whip Stuart, he
was reported to Grant as having insulted
| his commander.

A goth Me. Man Tells What His Regiment
Did at Alexandria, La.

Goth Me. Man Tells What His Regiment
Did at Alexandria, La.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue OF Sept. ii, Comrade A. Roberts, Co. f,
Goth Wis, writing about the forces which
took part In building the Red River dam at
Alexandria, La, says: "One writer men
tions the 29th Me. My recollections are
that it was the 30th Me. Perhaps the 29th
Ne. was also there, but [ never heard it
mentioned while we were camped on the
north side and worked on the dam"
The 30th Ne. was not there, but the
entire 29lh Me. was. Gen. Banks talked
with Col. Beal, of the Goth Me-, then COM
handing the brigade, about the building of
the dam, before any of the work had been
commenced, and for the reason that the men
were largely of that class known as down
east lumbermen." Our regiment was de-
tailed TO cross over to the north side and
take part in its construction 1t was the
only regiment taken from the brigade, which
at that time was composed of five regi-
ments.
/ had charge of crew of men who
worked on the dam. Capt. BENZ. Redon,
of Co. B, had charge of the "crib" work.
Sergt Harry McKeen and others of my
company drove teams to haul the trees from
where they were felled TO the river. These
teams were Texas steers, with horns out of
all proportion TO the rest of their bodies.
1t would take several pairs to haul load
equal TO one hauled by pair of Maine
oxen.
l well recollect an incident which took
place one day that created great deal of
amusement among the boys. Serg't Nc
Keen's team happened to be very wild, and
he had all he could do to manage it.
Finally the steers got frightened and started
for Texas with speed that would do credit
to Maine deer, and were never seen by US
atterward
Comrade Roberts's article shows that the
Rebellion Records were consulted, and it
appears strange that the fact of the 29th Me-
being there should have been overlooked
Col. Bailey, in his report, found in the
same volume quoted by Comrade Roberts,
says that the first details which reported were
two regiments of colored troops. Next the
29th Me-, Lieut.. Col Emerson, who was very
energetic and rendered very valuable service
Next were attachments from the 9th Ind,
29th Wis.," etc.
Col. Bailey, in another report found in the
same book, gives the list of the troops which
constructed the dam. He mentions the 29th
Ne. and detachments from the Odd and 29th
Wis" and other regiments But little in
vestigation on the part of Comrade Roberts
would not only have convinced him that the
29th Me. was there, but did as much as any
regiment in constructing the dam.-W. w.
