was there, but the other two divisions were
about two miles away. What do com.
rades who have been in battle think of an
officer who will advance in the immediate
neighborhood of the enemy without throw
ing out skirmishers? What do you think
of rebel officer who would push forward a
body of 10000 men, more or less" without
skirmshers ahead, when there was dan
ger of rushing into the very jaws OF
the Opdycke Tigers? And think how
near they did it-less than 10 rods. Won
der that the Tigers did not hear the
10000, more or less" before they got SO
close; but / am not surprised that the
10000, more or less" did not hear the cat
like tread of the "Tigers."
Then, what do you think of one of those
"Tigers" sneaking up to within less than
two rods Of 10000 Johnnies before he heard
or saw them, at p. m. of bright day?
The rebel yell of the 10000, more or less"
made even the heart of the Tiger" quail,
and he shot twice-once, at least-to the
rear. But do any of you suppose he could
have fired his gun into line of rebs less
than two rods " distant and not himself have
been utterly riddledP
I am inclined to suspect that the 10000,
more or less" was lone skirmisher, and he
more than 200 yards away.
l wonder why the Johnnies let the rear
rank run around and hunt up rails, while
the front rank was lying behind the rails,
pouring lead into them thick and fast.
AS the sharp firing only lasted short
time, l can only account for the extra heat
ing of their guns by the fire that flashed
from the eyes of the Tigers as they glanced
along the barrels.
The exposure of the three divisions of the
Twentieth Corps and the division of the
Fourth Corps is shown by the relative loss
of each. In killed and wounded Williams
lost $50, Geary 476, Wards (mine) $50, and
Newtons (" Tigers ~ 100.
Comrade Masters seems to be anxious as
to his own whereabouts, and repeatedly asks
Where was I at?" I can only give an
opinion. From his magnified view of num-
bers, bis diminutive view of distance, and
the alacrity with which he shot-to the
rear-I would have expected to have found
that particular "Tiger" skulking in the
jungles in the rear of Peach Tree Creek,
shedding his blood for the benefit of ticks
and musketoes. Napolen said: History is
accepted fiction" But comrades must not
write such stories as has Comrade Masters,
or the fiction will not be accepted.-G. A.

says / must be mistaken as TO whose
- guns saved NewtOn's left at Peach
Tree Creek July 20, and that / am
under false impression as to the left of the
army that day.
Sherman, in his Memoirs, says: Thomas,
who happened 10 be near, got some guns in
a good position and directed a fire upon the
enemy, who was passing around Newton's
left and exposed flank" The real left of
our army was six or eight miles farther to
the left, but Gen. Cox, in his book, SAYS
because Of mistake arising from there
being two Towards Mills, and the rough
ness of the ground, the Fourth Corps was
separated, the other two divisions being
about two miles TO the left, leaving a gap of
that extent in our line. Hence, Newton's
left was exposed and was the apparent left
of our line.
Cox also says the flank was saved by
NewtOn's Reserve Brigade and the guns of
the Third Division, Twentieth Corps.
The late Gen. Robinson when Secretary of
State Of Ohio, told me that he, hearing and
seeing the enemy coming around Newton's
flank. ordered forward the Third Division.
Twentieth Corps guns, which Gen. Wards
Third DivisiOn) mad left near the bridge
upon which his and Newton's Division had
crossed Peach Tree Creek, and directed
them against the enemy. Ali Of which is
true.
The historians speak of the general officer
in command, while Gen. Robinson speaks of
his personal act. All agree the artillery was
that belonging 10 the Third Division,
Twentieth Corps, and it was not under the
command of any of the Fourth Corps officers
The above are the ficts. Another fact is

BALLS BLUFF.
Another Account of the Disastrous Battle
he


on the Potomac.
IN your issue of Feb. 10, under the head
ing Of Balls Bluff" there appeared an
49, article from the pen of Capt. Charles
II. Eager, Of the 18th Mass, in pre-
facing which he says: Had Col. Devens
been in command there would have been no
disaster"
This assertion on the part of Capt. Eager, in
the face of what really did take place at that
battle. is, perhaps, a little characteristic of
some of the officers of the 18th Mass. l do
believe had the Government discovered the
military genius of some of the officers of that
regiment and made Major-GeneTals OF them,
the rebellion would have been crushed out
In 1862; and, consequently, there would have
been no show for Gen. Grant.
Continuing, the writer accuses wrong
fully both a gallant officer and brave SOL
