Hotel Andersonville.

c. Protexter, Chicago, ILL.,, who was q
guest of Landlord Wirz at Hotel Anderson
vile for seven months, says that in some
ways Wirz was an ideal host. He kept all
the gates shut and took great care that no
Yankee soldiers should come in and rob his
guests or abduct them; he registered them
without inquiring whether they had any
baggage for security; he never asked for pay
in advance and, indeed, the guests never
had TO pay any board as long as they honored
him with their presence. He did not put
up very good fare, and was very irritable,
and had strong objections to his boarders
wandering around outside at night, but he
evidently thought that too hearty eating
led one into lazy habits, and that the night
air outside the stockade was not healthy, as
indeed, some of those who ventured out
found to their cost

Says "The Cannoneer"
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: recently
received letter from S. BOllinger, Co. d, 9Th
u. S. Art, who in it says: Il have read
lately several misstatements in regard to
Griffin's Battery. One is by Thomas Finn.
Finn was the wheel driver of the caisson to
the third piece, center section. Said caisson
was left standing nearly square across the
Sudley Spring road, about 100 yards below
the Henry Rsuse, at the first Bull Run.
Then, the 'Cannoneer' claims that Tom
Broderick was First Sergeant of the battery
while Kingsbury was in command of it, Let
Broderick correct that. There was Malone,
Peoples, and Murphy before Tom, and
the latter was promoted after Antietam."

at which he was promoted to that rank, but
1 do know that when Capt Kingsbury was
promoted to be Colonel of the 18th Conn.
he offered Tom a commission if he would 90
with him, and Tom declined it.
| knew very well that Sam Peoples and
John Malone had been First Sergeants of
that battery before Tom was, as the COM
rade suggests; but l will add that Toms
record in that capacity has nothing to lose
by comparison with theirs, notwithstanding
that they got commissions and Tom did not.
/ also remark that the comrade whose
letter quote ought to bear in mind that 1
did not have the pleasure of keeping the
morning reports of Battery ID, and hence
could not know the dates of promotion of
its commissioned officers He seems
to belong to class of veterans who, not be-
ing able or willing to contribute anything to
the private soldiers history of the war
themselves, lie in wait to make some micro
scopic criticism on some other fellow who
