On the Other Foot.

Joe Ewing, Co. {, 5th Iowa Cav, Trinidad,
Colo, Endorses Comrade Reagins article en-
titled Good Suggestion" He has long
thought the GAR. boys ought to push this
matter, and also raise the constitutionality
of the payment of pensions TO the rebels, as
90 many Southern States are doing. The
writer does not begrudge the Johnnies their
pensions, but he thinks move in the direc-
ton indicated would bring the rebel Brig
adiers TO. terms, as the shoe would then
pinch the other foot. The writer would get
little pension if he was pensioned for length
of service, as he served but year, but he
saw some mighty hard living and fighting
during that time, and he objects to being
called colfee-coOler and hummer, as the SOL
dier-haters delight in clubbing the boys in
blue

MERRIMAC AND MONITOR.
Veteran Who Shows where Two Conn
rades are Slightly mixed" on the Affair.

n VINO SuOWB WherS Two COM
rades are Slightly "Mixed" on the Affair.
= DESIRE to say few words in relation to
the statements OF Comrade Cruikshank,
- 18th Pa. Cav, and COmTade McQuade,
10th Mass, in relation to the Merri-
mac-Monitor battle.
Comrade Cruikshank speaks of errors in
my description of the battle, yet he points
out no error, only intiHates that the James
town cut out three schooners and carried
them away.
This is all nonsense. Any man who saw
the affair in question, and has memory
that can be depended upon, knows full well
that only one schooner was taken, and that
about halfway between the fort and Hamp-
ton Creek. Post Adjuiant Loder, of the 4th
U. S. Art, had 10-inch COlumbiad trained
on the daring rebel, and could have sunk
her had old Maj. Roberts permitted it. The
topmasts of lot of hay schoOners lying at
the machine wharf would have been injured,
and the old granny Of commander would
not allow Loder TO fire.
In my sketch of the Merrimae-Monitor
battle / did not 90 into history of the
troops that captured Norfolk, and for that
reason Comrade McQuade, Of the 10th Mass,
charges up error to the ironclad contest
COmTade McQuade did not see any French
man-of-war 20 after and bring back a
schooner loaded with coal, nor did any
living man at Fort Monroe see such a thing
because it was not done. ] will not dispute
with my comrade about the cargo of the
schooner; it may have been coal, but the
official report at the time said it was hay.
The comrade also forgets that my descrip-
ton Of the ironclad battle in March was
not intended TO describe the capture of Nor
folk two months later.
In confirmation Of the correctness of nv
description of the Merrimac- Monitor battle,
have received flattering letters from several
comrades who saw the battle, and they all
pronounce my sketch as the only true one
they have read. The ships cook of the
Minnesota, whose address / have lost; a
member of the n. Y. Mounted Rifles from
Passaic, \. j.; comrade OF Norfolk, Va, and
Capt. James w. Brady, of my own regiment,
who resides at 1872 East Forty-third street,
New York City, say my report of the battle
was correct and complete.
1t would be waste of time and an insult
TO history for man TO attempt to write a
history of that battle without sticking TO
naked truth, although the recognized his
tory of that battle, published in the Century,
contains no less than eight serious errors. 1t
states that two hay steamers were taken,
and that the crew Of an English gunboat
| cheered the rebel steamer as she steamed
| past, etc. There was no English frigate
| there; there was no French frigate there.
| i defy truth to change statement made
and could have added much detail, which
would have taken over a page of THE Ma

CHARLOTTESVILLE.
A Veteran Defends Gen. PIeasonton Against
Col. Hamlin's Charges.

= NOTICED an article in your issue OF
Feb 2, 1893, by Lieut.-Col. Harrison
- White, of the 9th n Y. Cav, in which
he criticizes Col. Augustus Hamlin,
the Historian of the Eleventh Corps. l
| agree with Col. White. Every word he has
set forth In his article is correct. / was on
that battlefield and took an active part in
the fighting, and would say that it is unfair
for Col Hamlin to criticise Gen. Pleasonton
as he did. Gen. Pleasonton made no errors
of judgment at Charlottesville, and his
reports were correct and in no way ex-
aggerated the prominent part he and his
little handful OF cavalry, with Martins bat
terry, took on the evening OF May 2.
We know that Charlottesville has hurt
the in fantry of the Eleventh Corps badly,
while the small Cavalry Brigade Of Devens,
of PIeasonton's command, that shared in
the fight stood firm in the midst of cloud
of demoralized foot soldiers.
Gen. Pleasonton took in the position, and
saw that the field was to be won or lost
there.
He saw where Mai. KEENAN, sat on his
horse at the head of 800 men of the 9Th Pa.
Cav; saw that Maj. KEENAN, must charge
the head of the enemy's column and hold
him in check, or the field was lost. Ken
nan was cultured gentleman, and he was
made of the right stuff" The Major,
rising in his stirrups, saluted his superior
officer, and made reply:
Il will, or L will diet"
He gave the words, and the 800 rode to
the charge and threw themselves like a
whirlwind at the head of the column. Jack
son thought that it was not possible that
the charge would be made unless column
in support was coming, hence there was q
check in the advancing column Of jack
sons Corps for about 10 minutes; but out of
the 300 men who started $50 saddles were
emptied.
This delay let come up the Iron Brigade
Gen. PleasontOn ordered Martins battery
into position and the 18th Pa. Cav. to the
support of the battery, just under the brow
of a rayine running behind our new posi-
ton. Capt. Martin double-shotted his guns
with canister just when the rebels made
their appearance in the clearing.
The stragglers from the Eleventh Corps
were coming until the woods and field in
our front fairly swarmed with them. Gen.
PeasOnton ordered his staff to make de-
tail of the 18th Pa. Cav. Cos. F and M
were detailed to deplOy with drawn sabers
to try to stem the torrent of fugitives bear
ing down upon us, but all efforts were vain.
Had it not been for Gen. Pleasonton and
the old Iron Brigade and Capt. Martins bat
terry, which checked the last effort of Stone
wall Jackson to gain the road to United
States Ford, the field would have been lost;
but it was the well-dressed lines and the
gIittering steel that gave earnest proof of
the zeal and devotion in which the old Iron
Brigade had enlisted. - Serg't AMOS Z.
