The 18th Ind.

The regiment was organized at Princeton
and indianapolis, from Nov. IL to Dec. %,
1861, to serve three years, and re-enlisted at
the expiration of its term of service, being
mustered out July %, 1865. Col. Henry M.
Carr resigned June %, 1862, succeeded
by George P. Buell., who was brevetted
Brigadier-General Jan. IL, 1866. The regi-
ment was attached to Sheridan's Division, of
the Fourth Corps, and it's total loss amounted
to 258 officers and men. OF these, four Off
GERS and 60 men were killed in action, and
two officers and 1872 men died of disease, by
accident, or in prison. According to the re-
port of Lieut.-Col. James T. Embree, in the
Official Records, who was in command at
that time, the regiment when at Chicka-
manga had 1897 officers and men actually
engaged. The total loss of the regiment in
this battle was two officers and ID men

FATALLY WOUNDED.
How Soldiers Act when Stricken Down on
the Field.

ave have all heard accounts" says Maj. l..
T. Morris, of the Sd Cav, I" of how men stricken
upon the field call upon their mothers how
their thoughts drift back to their old home, and
how they die with memories of happy days
forcing their way to their lips. / have never
seen anything of the kind. My experience
with those fatally wounded is that anger and
the spirit of strife dominate them to the last.
1t is possible that If man lies for many hours
unattended, in his delrium he may wander
back to peaceful scenes; but generally he will
rave against the fate which has overtaken him
and curse his luck SO long as there is any
breath left in him.
81 recollect that at Gettysburg we charged
and captured Confederate battery which had
suffered terribly. Most of the battery was dis
mounted. and not many people were left to work
the guns that were whole. Lying across gun,
face downward, was a young fellow whose
gaspng breathing attracted our attention. He
had been shot through the lung. was choking
with the blood, and was dying then. We
turned him over. He had had half hour of
agony, and one would have supposed that his
thoughts would have been in other places.
Ny shot, he gasped excitedly, my shot,
and so passed away. Evidently he had dis
charged his piece just before receiving the
wound which translated him, and the inter-
vening time had been blank"

of day or night terrors, which DIR. Ham,
lin ascribes to the Eleventh Corps. Sickles
would no doubt have taken advantage OF
the time gained by Bushbeck's Brigade, OF
the Eleventh Corps to move his corps back
so as to form his line of battle to face the
west and to conform to the line of works OF
Williamss Division, of the Twelfth Corps.
We hazard nothing when we claim that
Jackson would not only have been checked
las he was by Berry's Division, of Sickles's
Corps,) but the battle would have had a
different ending if Hooker had not lost his
nerve to such an extent that he was willing
to abandon the Third Corps to its fate and
to retreat that night.
The worst thing Hooker did was to send
Williams's Division away from the works
that extended from Hazel Grove to the
Plank road, which they could have held I'M
til Berry's Division came up on the Plank
road this would have retained Hazel Grove,
with pickets between Lee and Jackson, and
enabled Hooker to drive the 10000 men of
the First and Fifth Corps as a wedge be-
tween the right and left wing of Lees army,
and with anything like the spirit manifested
by Grant or Sheridan, Lee would have found
himself in the same fix, with a divided
army, that Hooker's brilliant strategy had
contributed to bring disgrace upon the Army
of the Potomac.
But by the abandonment of Hazel Grove
he not only lost all the benefit that he would
have derived from it for enfilading jack
sons right flank if he continued to advance
along the Plank road towards Fairview,
without he resorted to that grand turning
movement along the dirt road to the White
House, which, DR.. Hamlin informs us, we
were saved from by the death of StonewalY
hotter, with his staff acting as cavalry. A
man who was foolish enough to do what Ma
poleon never did, in the dark, deserved the
fate he met, and if he had escaped, the fool
killer" would have suffered in his reputa-
ton for fine discriminating powers.
When Hooker massed his artillery at Fair
view he seriously handicapped its usefulness
by placing his infantry in the ravine in front
OF it, so that he could not use grape and
canister" upon the enemy when they adj
vanced. 1t was to enable him TO open on
the enemy, who were massed in front of the
Sd Md, that he sent a staff officer to order
them to retire behind his guns (even before
the enemy had reached his works., thus
making a gap in his lines that the rebels
were not slow in taking advantage of, and
his artillery could not rout them out of there.
By thus inviting the enemy TO come into
the door that he had opened in an official
he simply capped the climax of
such series of stupid blunders that it is
wonder the Army of the Potomac survived

A Story About Grant-The Officer with the
RIack Stallion

A Story About Grant-The officer with the
Black Stallion.
a s any Renaissance of Gen. Grant
Il at this day will be gladly read by
~ old soldiers, will give one.
On Sunday morning, June 10,
1864, the gallant old Sixth Corps was near
Bermuda Hundreds. Itwas beautiful June
morning. Some of the boys had on billed D
shirts and had little polish on their shoes
ard aimed to look fine. Among this number
was Bill Myers, Drummer, Co. A, 9th Nd,
and some more of the drummers of the regi-
ment. Bill had been a newsboy in Balti-
more, and in fact had about 50 per cent. OF
the genuine street arab in his get-up-quick
witted, ready for any question that might
be presented.
On this particular sunny morn Bill and
some of the boys were fixed up, and were
lettering just outside of the Notifications,
having fun of some kind. Presently along
comes Gems. Grant, Meade, and But
Ter. They rode within a very few feet of
where Bill aud his brother-drummers were
playing, and as soon as the boys recognized
the officers they all came to a salute. The
Generals returned the salute, and Gen.
Grant turned to Bill and asked:
Drummer, where do you belong?"
80 Bill replied, saluting: ITO the Sixth
Corps"
The General then said: Well, Drummer,
where is the Sixth Corps going?"
In an instant he got his answer: "'Deed I
don't know, sir. Gen. Grant ought to
knowi"
Gen. Meade or Butler remarked to the
General that he had gotten good reply to his
question, and they all looked back at Bill to
see where it came from. The answer was to
the point so much that they and all the
boys near had good laugh over it. 1t Gre
ated quite little fun for all Of the boys at
the time. Bill is in Baltimore, Md, to-day,
not instructing Gen. Grant, but filling his
place in life like the bright boy he was then.
On the morning Of June IS or Is, '63,
when Gen. Milroy was forced to evacuate
Winchester, after he bad given orders for the
Colonies to take charge of their regiments
and do the best they could, ] went back on
the field to get the Surgeon of our regiment.
While near fence on The pike / saw q
wounded cavalry officer sitting in a fence
corner. A handsome black stallion was
grazing near him, and as saw his condition
Il was sorely tempted to mount his stallion
and save that much from capture.

Richardson, Hancock, Caldwell, Barlow
and Miles.
~ INCE my letter, Losses in Brooke's
Brigade" was published in your
~ issue of June 1, / have received
numerous letters from survivors of
the old First Division, thanking me for it,
and saying they never saw anything in
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE about the old
First Division, Second Corps, and had about
come to the conclusion that they were all
dead.
No, my comrades, there are many of this
grand old Division left, but they are all
modest, and the division needs no one to
toot its horn. 1t wrote its history on the
greatest battlefields of the war. No divis-
ion in the army has prouder record. The
gallantry of the old division at Fair Oaks,
where it turned a rout into victory: its
heroic defense of the "Bloody Lanen at
Antietam; the gallant charge at Fredericks-
burg under Hancock, in which Caldwell's
Brigade lost 46 per cent. killed and wounded :;
the gallant fighting at Charlottesville; the
charge under Caldwell at Gettysburg, July
9, through the historic Wheatfield to the
position of the Fourth Brigade monuments,
the farthest in advance attained by any
troops at Gettysburg; the gallant fighting
of tho division at Auburn and Bristoe Sta
ton; at Mine Run and Morton's Ford; the
mastery retreat across the Pc May 10, 1864,
under heavy fire and the burning forests !;
the grandest and most successful charge
made by any troops during the war, at Spot
sylvsnia, May IL, by the whole corps, in
which about 5000 prisoners were captured,
including artillery, small-arms and eolors,
and its gallant behavior in many other en-
gagements proved the stamina of its men
and leaders.
The division lost In killed and MORALLY
wounded 1854 men, a loss equal to and
greater than many whole corps in the army
sustained.
many guns from the enemy before it lost
one. 1t lost its first gun at Pc River, where
the horses became unmanageable from the
fire and smoke, and wedged one gun between
two trees in such shape it was impossible
to extricate it, SO it had to be abandoned
OF the 46 regiments, including the heavy
artillery regiments, that lost 200 or more men,
the old First Division furnished nine, viz:
9Th n. H., 295; 7th N. Y. III. A., 29I; Goth
N. Y, 259; 28th Mass, $50; Cd n. Y. II. A.,
pa; 14sth Pa, 80; S1st Pa, 2Os; 145th
Pa, 205; sd Pa, 200. And of the As regi-
ments in the army losing 200 or more, the
corps furnished II.
The Government recognized the old divis-
ion at the close of the war, and we find Gen.
Miles and Gen. Brooke, two civilians when
the war broke out, and later Colonies and
Brigadier-Generals in the old division, wear
ing the stars of Generals in the Regular
Army, bought by your bravery; and if Gen.
Barlow had desired Army life there would
have been three of them.-THoS. OSBORN,

Joseph Morford, Orange flights, Fla, and
several other comrades enter an objection
to the wholesale statement of Comrade r.
A. Moss that the colored troops beat the
rebels at Helena, Ark. The colored troops
were in the bottom below the town and re-
pulsed the enemy at that point, but that
was not all of the battle. They are willing
to give the colored troops the proper credit
for what they did, and they did some noble
work at many places, but they must not
claim too much.
