ON THE HATCHIE.
Not Slxirmish, but Indeed Brilliant En-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: It was
with no particular pleasure that / read
Comrade Kiefer's account of the affair ON
Hatchie River, Tenn.
will not attempt to write history of
this sklrmish, AS the cOmrade names 1t, but
just endeavor to correct a lew errors, so that
the Survivors of the old Lauman Brigade
| may know that We are not dreaming, but
were strictly in it."
In the first place. the real fighting did not
commence until after the 300 prisoners and
the two pieces of artillery were taken, of
which the comrade speaks. 1t was then
that Gen. Ord ordered the charge across the
bridge by the FIRST Brigade uauman's), con-
| sisting, Ak | remember 1T, of the 28tb 41st
| and 53i III. (not SD Md. J, and Sd Iowa.
1t was alter the captures mentioned that
we of Lsuman's Brigade fought Gen. Price
for three hours, repulsing two distinct
charges made by the enemy IN their attempt
to drive Us from the position we had taken
on the east bank of the river. Retreat for
Us was simply out of the question. 1t was
fght or surrender. If / remember dis
tinctly, We fought.
Gen. Ord, who was in command of the
expedition and still ON the west bank, or
opposite side of the river, was wounded
during this par, of the engagement
About 3 o'clock p. m. the enemy with
drew and fled south ward, leaving two more
pi. ees OF artillery for US on ground of their
own choosing.
will now briefly refer to the comrades
last paragraph, in which he truly says the
battle of Hatchie River was brilliant en-
gagenent, measured by results. Had you
placed a period after the above sentence,
comrade, and attached your name, this
article would in all probability have never
been written; but instead you place great
stress on the matter of crossing the bridge.
We (the regiment to which l belonged
also crossed the bridge in full range of the
enemy's fire of musket- balls grape, canister,
ETC., and scarcely lost man, but in taking
our position, and during the engagement
after crossing the bridge, our regimental loss
was So killed and wounded. Three of the
former were members of the company to

WHAT IS A VETERAN9
How One Comrade Remembers He wa
Classified.

Classified.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I see in
your paper of Dec. 81 what constitutes a
veteran. l remember when we re-eulIsted
as veterans there was read to US an order,
No. 1913, series 1868, what constituted a
veteran. If mistake not, it was two years
presented with badge by the War Depart
ment. The badge was to be V, the letter
V being the first letter of the word, and a
very appropriate badge.
For awhile in the Army of the Tennessee
q great many badges were worn of this kind
that had been improvised by the wearer,
but the badge from the War Department
aever came. AS an excuse it WAS stated by
our officers, the Twentieth Corps, of the
Eastern army, had adopted that letter as a
corps badge first. If this hal been the case,
it would have been better to have changed
the Twentieth Corps badge rather than the
ve'eran badge, so justly earned or worn in
addition. Two-tbirds re-enlistments il a
regiment constituted a veteran regiment, and
so on to the corps. 1t TRANSFERRED that Me-
PhersOn's Seventeenth Corps was the only
veteran corps in the army, twO-thirds of
that corps having re-eDlisted Jan. 1, 1864.
| have never seen anything in print since
the war in regard to this matter. Although
il is very important to the veteran of that
corps, or to any other veteran organization
who re-enlisted under such circumstances,
it is wonderful how many are coming TO the
front now claiming to be vets who never
smelt powder.-J. r. PALMER, Cos. A and
