mon rode out into the field on our left flank

ployed from their center as skirmishers. We
did not reply TO them until they were some 10
rods away, when the command was given,
" Ready-Aim-Fire, and then Load at will"
We knocked two rebs from their saddles at
our first fire, and our boys began TO cheer, which
seemed TO take some of the fight out of the
rebels. Our good aim broke the rebel line
near our wagons and we soon sent them back
TO the cover of the woods, from which they
kept firing at long range, while we with the
train moved On towards LoudOun flights.

MISSIONARY RIDGE.
A Comrade Believes the Chickens were Far
from Home.

from Home.
IN your paper of Nov. 3. 1892 under the
head of Fighting Them Over an article
appears on the subject of Missionary
Ridge" laying claim by inference to Will
lich's Brigade of Thomas j. Woods (Third) Di.
vision, Fourth Corps. being the first troops to
reach the top of said Ridge in the grand charge
on Nov. %, 1868, and giving evidence on the
subject the capturing of the chickens at Bragg's
Headquarters, naming the parties that capt
ured the same.
| am ready to admit that the brigade the
comrade mentions WAS good and did its
duty on all occasions nobiy, bravely, grandly.
and it may be possible they were the first to
reach the top of the Ridge; but just how they
would get the chickens when the brigade
he mentions was nearly the length of dyis-
ion TO the left and north Of Bragg's Headuuar-
tiers, is mystery to me.
If my memory serves me right HaZen's Bril-
gade, of Woodss Division, and Wagner's Bril-
gade, of Sheridan's Division, were both of them
between the place where c0mrade Nash's Bril-
gade reached the top of the Ridge and Bragg's
Headquarters. Those chickens must have been
n long ways from home Wagner's Brigade lost
over 200 more than any other brigade in said
battle, and Hazen's Brigade stands sacond in
the list. -
Now, my dear comrade, please state if the
chickens were at home; for If they were, it
reflects greatly on the brigades of Wagner and
Harker, for the Headquarters mentioned were
reached by the right of Wagner and the left of
Harker at about the same time.-WALDEN

Last Battle of the Civil War.

Some time since made the claim that our
Lost Brigade" fought the last battle of the
civil war. which occurred in the middle of
April, 1865. The history makers will soon
have told their tale, and being interested in
having this matter settled beyond doubt for
the benefit Of all the future generations,
quote from the July Chautauqad of this year in
the article entitled Overland by the Southern
Pacific" viz:
Just beyond Painted Cave we cross the Pecos
River by high bridge, and soon after leave
the Rio Grande del Norte behind u.s. This
stream is connected with recent historical
events, for it was near this river, on Texan soil,
that the last battle of the civil war was fought,
May l3, 1865" For the benefit of all future
generations would invite anyone living to cor
rect this statement if they can for / think this
matter is of the greatest Importance as a mat
ter of history.-H. T. BIRD, sth Iowa Cav,

GEN. j. A. MOWER.
A Comrade Defends the Memory of Brave
Soldier.


Soldier.
HAVE just read in the New York Tribune
of Jan. 4, in column called "Our
Chvalry in Blue" war stories by old
soldiers, an attack on Gen. j. A. Mower,
(then Col. Mower) in front of 1uka, Miss.
The story purports to be written by one
Charles Atkinson, Of Co. L. 7th ILL., Cav. and
is certainly umgenerous and so totally different
from my recollection of Gen. Mower, that
comrades of Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, In
diana and Iowa, who used to follow Joe Mower
to victory, to several extracts from Atkinson's
story:
Col. Mower was found making observations
from the cover of n rai-pile."
Again "The absence of Col. Mower on his
way back to huntsville decided our return"
Again: From AN officer of the Goth H.
have it that Col. Mower lay drunk in his tent,
the brigade at rest and the artillery with
horses detached"
This while Price is advancing on his brigade
shoots all the horses of the 9th Ohio bat
terry, and takes the battery; then Mower
wakes up and commands the 18th Mo. to
pitch in etc.
Now, I have followed Gen. Mower, and
there are hundreds of Others in the States /
have named who have followed him, and we
know that a more daring. Drawer officer or
truer soldier never unsheathed sword.
think comrades can be better employed and
have enough to write about, without abusing
dead comrades that have made record of
which their posterity may well be proud At
the fifth annual Reunion of the Army of the
Tennessee at Cincinnati. April, 1871, Gen. No.
bic said what gallant Spirit was his!
Place but the foes Of his country before him.
and his commander had fairly to hold him
back, or if let 90, he had to be sent after, so
rapidly and far did he pursue the enemy
At the same Reunion the members of the
Society Of the Army of the Tennessee, his
brother officers. resolved "That in the death of
Gen. Mower the country has lost one of its
abest defenders" etc.
In justice to Gen. Mower and to draw the
attention of the boys that followed A. j. Smith
and Joe Mower, please publish the above

H EADING sketches where SO many of

five hundred yards of the rebel lines on the
evening OF May Is, aud we assaulted the rebel
works on the evening of May l9at 2 o'clock.

gun fired from each battery all along our line.
In the second place. think Comrade Ed.
monds must be mistaken in the command TO
which he belonged for il the 4th W. Va ever
belonged to our brigade, don't remember il.
The regiment he speaks of might have been
attached 10 that brigade for the time being
The First Brigade, Second Division, Fifteenth

The End of the Magnolia Matter.

William Simmons. 1882 Wharton street, Phila-
delphia, writes: The steamer Magnolia ran
the blocade at the mouth OF the Mississippi in
February, 1862, with 1,lGO bales of cotton on
board, bound for Havana Cuba. The U. s. S.
Brooklyn, being OF blockade duty there at the
time. followed the Magnolia and opened fire on
her from the forward pivot gun with solid shot,
one of which striking the fugitive penetrated
her steam chest and brought her to n standstill.
The escaping steam scalded the engineer, from
the effects of which he died. prize crew was
put on board by the Brooklyn. with orders to take
the steamer to Key West where the vessel and
cargo were regularly condemned and sold. The
u. s. gunboats Huntsville. South Carolina,
Mercedita and Itasca being in sight or signal
distance when the capture was made, shared
in the distribution of the prize money. Now it
is very evident that the vessel of the same
name claimed to have been captured by the
gunboat South Carolina and sent North, must
have been sloop schooner Of very small
size. The gross proceeds realized from the sale
of the Magnolia and cargo was $173. 955.77.
No doubt a much larger SUM would have been
realized but for the cargo being looted by the
crew of the gunboat South Carolina, as con-
fessed by one of them in recent issue"

left rested small stream that put into
Peach Tree Creek above the bridge upon which
we crossed The Fourteenth Corps formed in
the ridge some distance beyond Golfers Mill :;
the First and Second Divisions of the TWEEN
tieth Corps reached up to or a little above the
mill, leaving good gap between their left and
Newton's right. The division did not get
up on the line before it was met by the rebel
columns, and its part of the fight was made
upon the open field at close range. The right of
Newton's Division bad to drop back little to
connect with the Third Brigade of the Third
Division, or they were so nearly together as to
make them almost continuous line. As the
Third Division, Twentieth Corps, had not
gotten in position, the artillery of that division
was waiting near the bridge when the rebel
charge struck our lines The late Gen. Robi-
son, of Ohio, told me he rode toward Newton's
Division at this juncture, and saw the rebels
pouring down out of the woods evidently bent
upon crossing the little stream and turning
NewtOn's left. He galloped back, ordered up
the Third Division artillerymen, which opened
up on the enemy, and drove them back. The
guns were handled by their own artillery
men,"
