J. ID. Masters. Go. K. 125th Ohio, Thompson,

when he answered Comrade Rice as To what
guns saved Newton's left at Peach Tree Creek,
or he IS laboring under false impression

1854 or else the writer was dreaming; for il is
a well-known fact that the Fourth Corp; was
in that battle, and the writer thinks the Third
Brigade of the Second Division formed the
lett of the line of battle, and that "Opdycke's

and moved up a ridge road toward the timber,
with worm fence on either side of Us and
peach trees in every other corner OF the fence.
We moved by the left flank through the woods
and crossed deep hollow; moved up the side

rank stacked arms and piled up rails in our

fire until our guns got so hot we could not mold
them, and we had TO take the guns out OF the

Appomattox's Famous Apple Tree.

Appoln;sttO&S EatnOnS apple 1fee.
H. r. Cloves, Co. G. 62d, and Co. c, 155th Pa,
Ashley n. b. says the belief that no Union
soldier secured a part of the apple tree at APP
pomattox is a mistake, AS he got chip and has
it vet. On the morning of April g. 1865 his
regiment, the l55th Pa, was the front line,
and when the dag of truce came around our
line was close onto the village OF Appomattox.
1t so happened that he had a guest from the
other side who slept under the same blanket
with him that night, and, of course, he told the
writer of the apple tree under which Grant and
Lee met He expressed desire to see the tree
and his johnny friend said that il he could get
through the lines aud 90 with him next morn
ing he would guide him to the place Early
next morning, before many of the boys
astir they went to whore tho tree had been.
The tree, though il was early morning, was
gone and the boys in gray were digging for
the roots TO carry off as relics. Qnite IA number
were there who had gOodiy supply of the
body of the tree, and were preparing TO carry
ID off when the writer begged Of one man, who
had several small pieces, to give him chip.
The result was the man gave him the smallest
chip he had, a piece about six inches long.
half inch thick, and about one and one fourth
inches wide On his return home the writer
fashioned the chip into corps badges of all the
corps that belonged to the Army of the Potomac
at the time of the surrender and strung them
together with sriall steel links.
who Were They?
John A. Penn, Smthfeld o., writes: I'm
recent interview with colored man of good
repute, by name Spencer Banks, / learned the
following as TO the death of two soldiers
(white) who were wantonly murdered by
small party of robel scouts near by his own
native place in Georgia. He and l wish to
know who they were. They were compelled
to climb up into pine tree about three miles
west of MiIlcdgville, GA, and were shot from
ont of the tree by the rebel scouts. They were
buried after some days by the colored people of
the place The circumstance occurred in the
presence of Mrs. Marah Banks and other
colored people, in November, 1864. and the sol
diers still lie buried near by in the Widow
Jarret's graveyard.

ing made target for rebel marksmen and bear
ing at the present time reminders of the occa-
sion Many of the prisoners had no clothes at
all, especially shirts, and the balance were
only filthy rags. He visited the camp iii 1888,
and everything appeared to be the same. He
stayed over night at the house of Southern
man who would accept no payment for his hos

Mission Ridge.

John Clark, Battery ], Cd i'll. Art, 1903 East
Central avenue, Wichita, Kan. says that the
article of /. n. Stanford on Mission Ridge is so
garingy full of errors as TO call for correction
Previous comrades may have erred in giving
the name or number of the regiment that ran
away from their position in support of those
two 12-pounder Napoleon guns in ROssvllle
Gap, but that those troops did so STAN pede the
writer is positive He was returning from the
rear TO the front at the very time the stampede
occurred, and was within 100 or 200 feet OF their
line and saw them leave; not Ell masse. but in
squads of from five to 80 at time. He was not
alone in his observation, as many Others of diff
ferent rank. including a Major General wit
messed the scene. He does not claim that those
stampeders were of the 18th Regulars; in fact be
never cared to learn what organization 1t was.
ComIade Stanford did not help to drag those
two guns up that HILL as he claims. They were
there, near the top of the HILL since ~ o'clock
the night previous. Mother did lac lose a shoe
heel by canister-shot, as he says. while sup
porting those guns (if he actually did help sup
port them, as no canister fired at them
while they occupied the hill ComTade Stan
ford says the 125th H. was not near those two
guns at any time during the 21st The writer
knows that up to or 10 o'clock 4. IN. all OF
McCoOk's Brigade, including the 120th ILL.,,
were in line near the battery, but were soon
afterwards changed some distance off TO the
right. He is somewhat inclined to believe that
the two guns off TO the right (nstead of the
two Napoeons on the left of the gap are the
guns Comrade Stanford helped support and also
drag up the hill, after cutting road through
the brush. which be so accurately describes,
even to the canister fired at them, as those
two guns had qnite little scrap along toward
night with a rebel battery that tried to call
them down, but were themselves forced to pull
out. Many of the s5th. 66th. 125th ILL.,, aud
sgd Ohio tof McCook's Brigade) were in line
near to and supporting those two Napoleon
guns after tho stampede occurred.

The Holding OF JEFF Davis.

Edwin A. Jones, Go. J., 81 Pa II. A., Tama-
qua Pa, says on May %, 1865. be was OF guard
duty at Fortress Monroe when Battery NJ was
sent down to tho waters edge to escort JEFF
Davis and Clay. The Fortress under pa
troll and things seemed warIke On May %
Davis was chained. despite his kicking and
biting One OF Battery Ks men came very near
bayoneing bin. The writer was one Of q
men detailed to guard the prisoners. Davis
found much fault with his treatment and
talked good bit hut the guards were forbid
den to make any replies He thought it was
awful TO be treated so. and lie did not know
what he had done TO deserve such treat
ment. The only thing us poor boys euvied
was his $50 pipe short time after this date
the writer was detailed as painter in the Quar-
termastcr's Department. A few days later be
was ordered to put glass in one of the win
dows OF the casemate where Davis was con-
fined. What remarkable change from chains,
hardtack, and bean soup; fine cot with mus
kcto-bars, fruits Of all kinds wines and liquors,
aud frst.ciass grub from the hospital. 1t was
but 4 short time after this you could see Lee,
Davis, and Gen. Miles walking on the ram
parts arm in-arm. Bat very short time after
this he was given quarters i'll Carroll Hall,
where he lived like lighting cock, and IL was
not long after this he was removed altogether
from the Fortress.
