About the Bridge Taken There, and What

the 18th Iowa Cav. Did.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Seeing the
article in the issue of March Is in regard to
who captured the bridge at Columbus, Ga,
and how it was done, will say that my
regiment was the 18th Iowa Cav, First Bril-
gade, Fourth Division, Cavalry Corps. The
Sd Iowa and 10th Mo- and our regiment
composed this brigade, commanded by
Brevet Brighten. Z. F. Winslow, of our
regiment The Fourth Division was COM
manded by Gen. Upton.
Just after sundown on April IS, 1865, our
brigade was ordered to move in northeast
direction across roads and through timber
until it was quite dark. We were ordered
to make no noise of any kind, but at stated
time, when the pickets of the enemy fired
for every man to scream at the top of his
voice. This was every few moments, and
the way we did make the forest of tall pine
trees ring was a caution. What was the re-
suit? The rebel bull dogs turned loose at
US from their upper fort above the bridge,
and we started in southeast direction
straight for the bridge and left them she'll
ing the empty woods in our rear.
We dismounted soon, went for their rife
pits at the north end and entered them,
capturing men and flags. Here, let me say,
Gen. Mnty, is where our boys got the honor
of capturing so many rebel flags. 1 think
several were captured before we arrived at
the bridge, although our orders were not to
stop to take prisoners, but to go for the
bridge, which we did.
/ remember some of my company being
captured while l was acting Orderly for
Gen. Winslow. They were kept few min
utes, when they were left all alone in a
house near the road. On looking out the
door some of our men were seen passing in
solid column ON the road leading TO the
bridge.
| remember my company crossed the
bridge where there was more rebels than
there were Union men. The sides were
lined with pitched cotton and saturated with
tuTpentine, and at the east end stood two II
pound howitzers ready to fire just as soon
as our men all got clear of the bridge. But
they had orders from our men not to fire,
and they obeyed So, if there were any
other troops engaged in taking the upper
bridge besides the Sd and 4th Iowa and 10th
Mo-, never so learned. / remember at
Macon we had special inspection of our
brigade out on the open Sand Creek bottom
all because we happened to be the first in
Columbus on that noted night of the capture
of the city by the Union forces. l will leave
those who were not there to guess what
was the cause of that special inspection. /

Gregg and the Palmetto Regiment.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
read with much interest in the article OF
Alfred Davenport, Sergeant, Co. G, 9th n.
Y, the tribute to the South Carolina bril-
gade commanded by Gen. NJ Gregg in the
late war. 1t is grateful because uncommon
to see such justice from guondam adver
sary, dIsparagement being the general rule.
The article, however, contains few errors
as to the location Of persons Gen. Gregg
was not commander Of the Palmetto regi-
ment in Mexico, but was Major of the 10Th
Inf, recruited for that war and discharged
after peace. The commander of the Pal
metto regiment was Pierce NJ Butler, uncle
of United States Senator Butler, with J. p.
Dickinson Lieutenant-ColoneI and A. H.
GLADDEN. Major. J. Foster Marshall was
Captain of Co. E in said regiment.
In the terrific battle of Cherubusco more
than half Of said regiment were killed and
wounded. Col. Butler fell on the field :
Dickinson was mortally wounded and died
soon afterward, and GLADDEN. was severely
wounded. After the death Of his superiors
GLADDEN. was elected Colonel, and COM
manded to discharge.
In the late war he commanded a brigade
Of Louisianians and was killed ut Shiloh.

heavily at the storming of Chapultepec, and

VICKS BURG,
Gen. Landram Tells of the Events Leading
Up to the Surrender.

Up to the Surrender.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As every
| thing pertaining 10 the surrender of Vicks-
| burg is necessarily interesting, it may be
well to give a statement of facts connected
| with the prelminaries to that important
| event on the Sd of July, 1868. The brigades
of Gen. S. G. Burbridge and myself of the
division commanded by Gen. A. J. Smith,
were camped near the Jackson Railroad
that led into the city, and our works had
| been advanced TO within a few yards of the
Confederate Notifications.
AT about 10 Il. IN. on July 3 white flag
appeared in our front, and Gen. Bowen and
Col. Montgomery, of the C.S.A were
escorted, blindfold into our lines by Capt.
Leonard of the Goth Ohio They were
taken to the headquarters of Gen. Burbridge,
not more than 100 yards from my own and
not more than 200 from those of Gen. Smith,
the division commander.
Burbridge was suffering from some physi-
cal disability, aud sent for me to entertain
the Confederates. They brought with them
a communication from Gen. PembertOn, adj
dressed to Gen. Grant, which was handed to
Gen. Smith, who, being sent for, mounted
his horse and proceeding to the Head
quarters of Gen. Grant delivered the same
to him, Bowen and Montgomery in the
meantime remaining with us in the tent.
We talked over the battle of Port Gibson,
where Bowen said he had deceived us as to
his strength by making company represent
regiment. He referred to Grand Gulf, and
said it could never have been taken by
direct assault; that when Admiral Farragut
ran the blockade he recognized him on his
ship, and his admiration for the old hero was
so great he would not let his men fire at
him, and he passed the Gulf in safety.
The time was passed very pleasantly, but
no reference was made to the object of their
visit or to the military situation. In about
an hour Gen. Smith returned and handed to
Gen. Bowen Gen. Grants reply, which was
Immediately torn open and read by Bowen.
Bowen having expressed desire to see Gen.
Grant personally, was notified that the latter
would receive no one other than Gen. Penn
bertOn.
The Confederates were then blindfolded
again, and Gen. Bowen conducted by myself
and Maj. Montgomery by Capt. Leonard
where we separated. We lit cigars, shook
hands, and returned to our respective lines.
In the afternoon Gems. Grant and Pember-
ton, with other officers, met in an open field
near the works, where the interview oc-
Cured that resulted in the surrender. Maj.
Montgomery was handsome and accom-
plished gentleman, while Gen. Bowen was
undoubtedly one of the ablest officers in the
Confederacy and capable of commanding an
army. He died not long after the sur
render-W. j. LANDRAM, Brigader-Ge
