Some More Details to the Battles Before
Nashville.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: S. c. Miles,
of that old veteran regiment, the Sth Wis,
gives in the issues of July 10 and 20 a very
clear and distinct description of the battles
before Nashville, Tenn.
We are not all expected to give the same
detailed account of actions of troops in bat
tie, for the good reason that we did not all
stand in the same position on the grounds
But Comrade Miles gives a very clear general
description Of the engagements of Gen.
Smiths three divisions on those two event
full days.
think, however, that had our command
made 80 many-left wheel movements as Com
rade Miles states, it would have been march,
ing from the enemy and toward the city Of
Nashville at the time that it stormed the
nights of the Brentwood Hills at $3.50 p. M
OF the 10TH This hill has been called Honey
Hill or Fort Hill Our brigade lMcMillen's)
knew it as Shyes Hill
i think that where Comrade Miles says
we made left wheel en- echelon on the
morning of the 10th, to take position between
Woods (Fourth) Corps and Schoield's
(Twenty-third) Corps, Gen. Smith simply
changed front by a left-fank movement,
which brought the Sixteenth Corps facing the
strongest position of the enemy; then, while
Schofield's and Woods Corps held the two
TANKS of the enemy, Smiths command
pounded and pierced the center. Doubled
in as they were, they were compelled to sur
render or retreat and the latter they did
after desperately defending their position.
Those who retreated passed along the mar
row valley Of Otter Creek toward the
Granny White and the Hillsboro pixies.
While this was going on, Gen. Steedman's
I'D nhnr he r;,,bt l. &c
the enemy.
That was terrible day along the whole
line. Asw sat for Is minutes awaiting the
orders to charge, from our position on the
brow of hill we could view the whole line
of works, about five miles in half circle, and
we could see the terrible effects of the two
DAYS struggle. A number of caissons and
magazines were blown up, guns destroyed,
and gunners killed during that short few
minutes. AS we advanced on the enemy,
the bullets from their muskets flew through
the air like hailstones in a severe storm, and
the iron and leaden missiles from their cam
non fell like bombs and stones among us.
The flames like sheets Of lightning sprang
up in front of US, and when near to the en-
emy's intrenchments the mems clothing was
set on fire by the flashes of powder from the
muzzles of the enemy's guns. Then, after
firing, the rebs dubbed with their guns to
keep our men back. Wounded men, who
could not retreat, sitting in the trenches,
threw their muskets, axes, shovels, and picks
at our men, killing and wounding many.
The colors of nearly every regiment were
torn by shot and shell. Some of them could
not be unfurled after that battle.
would like to meet Comrade Miles and
other comrades on that field of strife near
Nashville on Dec. Is and 16, 1894, and look
over the grounds.-H. WARREN PHELPS,

A FRIENDLY SHOT.
Never Saw Anything Like brutality in War
ren's Actions


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: lam acai,
called on 10 fire friendly shot az Serp't
Davenport, 9Th \. Y, to remind him that
while he is perfectly correct in the issue of
July in saying that Sykes's REGULARS COW
cred the retreat of the fugitive Federal army
from the field of the first Manassas he is at
lauit In saying that the Regulars numbered
500 men.
/ was of Co. c, I'd Inf, of that battalion
and know that the company in leaving the
field did not number over so men. and thai
the other seven companies were in propor-
ton; consequently, If the battalion num-
bered 400 men when it left the field it is
giving 1t large estimate.
The battalion as made ND was. ID Inf
hve companies; I'd, two companies &C. and
NJ oth, one company (G); commanded by
Mag. George Sykes, LIST Inf, Just promoted
from Captain, Sd Inf
Inc Sergeant also gives us to understand
IN the issue of Aug. 2, that Sykes's ReguIars
possessed discipline to that degree OF perfee-
ton which carried it almost TO brutality
and that the 9th \. Y. was not EXEMPT from
the rough treatment. Previous TO that
statement Of the Sergeant he saws that
1.-THE them Col. Warren was one of the
best of officers, and that while he was a
strict disciplinarian, he was ALWAYS careful
oil the interests and welfare of his men. and
meted ont the same treatment to the officers
OF the regiment. No doubt whatever in nv
mind that Serg't Davenport was one of the
pest OF soldiers, consequently / was not a
little surprised to hear him use the express
sion, Carried almost to brutality" / saw
good deal of Gen. Warren, with and with
out e'5th n. Y, and am free to say that
never saw anything in the man approach
ing anything near brutality. / know that
the Sergeant must remember Col. William
Chapman, of the I'd Inf, in his drill no Of
the Second Brigade on many a morning be-
fore the battle, of which the Sergeant has so
ably and generally correctly written.
Now, Sergeant, Col. Chapman was. with
out doubt, strict disciplinarian, for I must
say the 9TH Inf, whence he came to the d.
laid claim to its share of the best officers in
the army. We all well knew the gray
haired Colonel, and while he acted strictly
In accordance with the requirements of the
regulations, particularly on drill, he never
for moment carried his discipline to the
verge OF brutality. On the contrary, when
IN camp he was indulgent, and he was of
the tenderest kind toward his men and
from my experience of 20 years in the army.
what L have seen of Chapman and say of
him here fits all other officers whom knew
or served with In or out of the field. and thew
were many, with one exception.-PATRTCK

A FEW POINTS IN ERROR.
As to sheridan's Division and the 1Ith Ind.
Battery.

Battery.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: IN your
issue of Aug. 2 Comrade L. o. Coburp, Co.
+, 5lst ILL.,, in his article of "a Lend Fur-
lough," makes some statements which ara
entirely without foundation. He saws: "On
Sept. IS, 1863, our division (Gen. Sheridan'sl
was in reserve, and was not called" etc.
Now, the facts are that on the 18th, in the
evening, the division descended Lookout
Mountain at Steyenss Gap, and being in the
vicinity of the enemy formed line-of-battle.
At a. m. on the 18th we continued our
march toward Crawfish Springs, and march,
ing about three or four miles formed Ine-oe.
battle again.
In the evening at o'clock we continued
our march all night until a. m. on the 18th.
About a. m. we resumed our march, heavy
cannonadlng going on. in our front all the
time AT 3p. m. we were ordered to double
quick to near Crawfsh Springs. the infantry
receiving ammunition as they went, and in a
few minutes they were, with a hurraD. in
action. This was Gen. Lytle's Brigade. of
Sheridan's Division, and, as far as I can
remember, the whole division was together.
Does that look as being in reserve? 1t was
the right wing of the army (Gen McCook's
Corps joining the center.
Again, the cOmrade says "recapturinc a
part of the 11th Ind. battery, which had
been lost by Gen. Woods Division early in
the day." Well, early in the day the 18th
Ind. battery was from II to 10 miles TO the
right with Sheridan's Division and belonged
to Lytle's Brigade, and did not get into the
fight till late in the afternoon. The section
we lost IN the fight on the 20th was never
recaptured.-JOHN OTTo, First Lieutenant,
11th Ind. battery, Auburn, Ind.
