LOYAL ARK Ms.
The Noble and Self-Sacrificing Character of
Her Union Soldiers.


The following are extracts from letter of
Capt. Thos. Boles of Fort Smith, Ark, formerly
OF the Sd Ark Cav:
Among them were men from all the learned
professions, the teacher, the minister of the
Gospel, the doctor, and the lawyer, as well as
men IN all the lines of useful industry, and all
were men in whose bosoms glowed a love for
National Unity and the old flag. from which
they could not be pursuaded. dragged or forced
by State and Confederate authority and power
combined, which surrounded them on all sides
They took their stand for the Union, not be-
cause their State went that wav, for il went
for the rebellion, and with all its power tried
10 compel them to do so too; but they were for
the Union from convictions of their own And
be IL further said to the honor of the nearly
10,0UO loyal white troops in the Arkansas loyal
organizations, not one Of them was drafted :
and although i enlisted a considerable number
Of them, | never heard of one who asked any
thing about bounty before his enlistment
ut is true they were not clad in raiment OF
purple ana fine linen, nor had they for months
before had at their services any first class tom
serial artist nor Turkish baths. They had for
months been in the Businesses of the pine. clad
hills of their native State, holding at bay or
Ranized rebellion, with but little organization
on their part; with no tents and but scaut bed
ding, they lowered around the pine knot fire,
the smoke OF which did not polish them for a
drawing room, unless they were expected to
harmonize with the stovepipc.
Those in the South who were then and for
several years afterwards our bitter enemies.
sought TO make the impression that all the
decency and responsibility of the South went
into the rebellion, and that only the rough,
reckless, and law-defying class adhered to the
cause OF the Nation, and | am sorry TO say that
too many of those who ought to be our friends
seem TO have taken these false assertions to be
true. And many of our friends during and
since the war. have acted in that way, and,
especially since the war; have industriously
sought 10 confirm such ISLANDERS to serve their
own interests at Washington. But the brave
soldiers are firm still, for they know that
Truth crushed TO earth shall rise again."

A Comrade Tells what Howe's Division was
Doing In the Fight.
TN your issue of Nov "a. 1892. Corpl Hutch
inson, in attempting to correct statements
u made by ]. B. Potter and others concern
ing the storming of Marye's Nights May
3, 1868 makes some very incorrect statements
himself showing that he does not Know where
either Brooks's or Howe's Divisions were at
that time. q cess
I do not know who was guarding ponto0ns at
Franklins Crossing. but I do know that Howe's
Division was not. also know that belonged
to Howe's Division, and know where it was
and what it was doing, and if the Corporal had
consulted the Official Records before penning
his article his corrections would not perhaps
have been so incorrect.
He will find by reading Gen. Howe's report
that early on the morning of May he was or.
dered to take up his line of march toward
Fredericksburg, Immediately in the rear of
Ncwton's Division, which he says he did
until his right rested on Hazel Run. He also
says that, in obedience to orders from Cen
Sedgwick, he formed his division into three
columns Of assault, and assisted very materially
in capturing that stronghold. He will also find
by careful perusal of Gen. Br0oks's report that
his division was to the left of Howe's aud took
no active part in the main attack on Marye's
Nights, but did some lively fighting later in
the day at Salem Church.

that it appeared to me sometimes that they did
not care whether man was spy or not, nor
whether he found out what was going on, and
went direct to the enemy and reported also
told them that frequently had heard other
scouts make the same complaint, and said :
Now, my young friend, am glad to see that
one man, at least. in this regiment cared enough
to put himself to some trouble to find out
whether was friend or an enemy" The sullen
look had disappeared; he had expected cursing,
which l am sorry to say was what private
soldier got more of than was good for him.
l found Headquarters in the course of a
couple of hours after leaving that regiment,
which was an Ohio one, The battle of Cold
Harbor was fought the next day, think; if not
on that day, within couple or three days at
all events How long the army stopped here
after the 4th of June / can't remember. My
old regiment I'D N. j. went home from Cold
Harbor, and day or two afterward one OF the
guards at the "bull-pen," member of the
goth N. Y, came to me and said: There is a
man in the bull-pea who says he belongs to
your old regiment and wants to see you"
| went back with him. when young fellow
who was on the inside of the line of guards
pressed forward as far as tho guard would let
him. and said: Don't you know me- Ser
geant?"
took good good look at him, and an
swered: "No; can't say that do"

old regiment"
What company were you ?"
q. and yours was H."
Yes; that is right. So you were in Capt
Closes company. How did you get in here?
The regiment has gone home. and l can't see
how you should be in the bull-pen."
He then told me that he was in one of the
Wilderness fights, aud was wounded; had been
sent to Washington to hospital and rs soon as
he could leave it applied to be sent to his regi-
ment; had come down tho Potomac to Port
Royal and had helped to guard a n-train
from there to Army Headquarters; when he got
there his regiment was gone. His story had not
been believed, and he had brought up in the
pen After listening to his story he said:
You remember me now, don't you, Ser
geant?"
could not recollect him, and said So Tears
came into his eyes as / turned away and
walked to Col Sharps tent, who at that time
was Deputy Provost Marshal General Of the
Army of the Potomac. / went in and told the
story to Sharp and when / got through he
said Do you remember him ?"
Hardly; but know he tells the truth"
Well" said he, sit is shame, and we will
have him out"
He then wrote an order to turn the boy over
to me, and told me to go and get him. When
he came the Colonel questioned him few min
utes, gave him all order for transportation and
the papers he would need to keep him out of
trouble with military authorities and turned
him loose. He was ons of the most grateful
boys ever saw. He was not over 81 years old,
and lived in Bloomf field, n. J. His name has

ALL HANDS ON DECK.

1S64-1S65.
d. JOHNSON, Hollow P O., ST. Louis
Fl County, Mo, WHO served as lands
- man on the brigantine steamer
1tasca, from about April Is, 1864,
till March 90, 1865 under the name of Henry
Smith, desires to hear from some of his former
shipmates He should be very glad to be
able to renew old friendships and at the
same time obtain more testimony in his PEN
sion case. Any communication addressed to
bin by letter will be met with prompt and
most cordial reply.
All hands will, for instance. well remember
the great conflagration that threatened to sweep
over the whole deck Of the Itasca off Galveston,
one fine day, when every man aud boy was at
his station and doing his utmost TO conquer the
flames, which at times formed little he'll.
Happily, the brave crew subdued the ire after
several hours of the most exhaustive exertion
1t will also he remembered that some time
after this hot affair the Itasca was bound for New
Orleans, in order to be repaired there. When
nearing the mouth of the Mississippi she was
compelled 10 anchor, one of the densest and
most imPenetrabe fogs imas Unable preventing
her from proceeding on her course. At the
same time storm arose that WAS so violent
that she had just enough to do 10 maintain her
equilibrium. II was only by great exertion
and skillful arrangement that she was saved
from a watery grave. Finally. after about "a
hours or SO. she was safely piloted up the
mighty river and reached her destination. 1t
must however, not be forgotten that while she
was going up stream she happened to collide
with a vessel loaded with cotton. Upon sus
pcion of being rebel and with Joyous ex-
pectation of prize money, she was taken up tn
New Orleans. Alas, everyone found himself
disappointed. Her papers were found all right
She was rebel at all. These few events in
the Itasca's history may suffice to show any of
her survivors that the writer himself is one of
them. He hopes. however, that others may
write great deal more about the Itasca Ship
mates, write soon.-H. ID. JOHNSON, Hollow,
