This was one of the hardest marches
made by the regiment, and more men iel

we made.

r. L. Merrill, 31st Me-, Replies to Comrade
Carriers Article.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: see that
Comrade Carter, of the Sd Md, is still firing
his blank cartridges at the Second Division,
Ninth Corps. Now, this division was mot
the only one that was placed in position
which it was impossible for them to hold,
and just why the comrade should seize this
opportunity SO promptly / am unable to
comprehend, unless it is because it was an
exception 10 the general rule.
The comrade quotes me as saying that O
battery was stationed in our rear, and then
enlarges on the wisdom Of the division COM
mander for having it so stationed. Now,
would il not be well for the comrade to jog
his memory? i said nothing about bat
terry being stationed anywhere. What did
say was this: THAT two or three guns of
some battery came ont on q side hill and
opened on the rebel advance as we fell back"
And as | now remember, those guns did not
put in an appearance until we had lost con-
siderable ground, but nevertheless they were
well handled, and we were heartily glad to
see them. Those guns were the only sup
port that came out to us, as far as could
see, although undoubtedly there was an
adequate force which might have been sent.
1t seems that the comrade would have the
readers Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE believe
that the prime cause OF disaster on tnat
occasion was that rebel yell, which, he in
fers, produced such CONSERVATION and terror
in the ranks Of the Second Division as to
utterly demoralize it.
/ think if The Third Brigade, First Di-
vision, had been in our position, the result
would have been much the same, although
the butcher bill might have been smaller.
Now, until the comrade proves my claim
rrlarad In retire hv
mand OF Gen. Griffin-to be false, he places
himself in an unenviable position by eulo-
giving the General, and at the same time
criticising his command for obeying his
orders.
Comrade Carter also says: I should like
the comrade to refresh his memory, and let
us know where the 31st Me. was on the
morning of the 10Th of May, when the grand
assault was made by Gen. Hancock at the

morning?n Ny impression is that we were
on neither of the extremes, there being one
regiment on our right.
He then says: Where were they on the
18th. so that we may compare records as
fighting regiments" The comrade will
bear in aind that the records of our respec-
tive regiments were made in fire and blood
about 80 years ago, and while we may fight
our battles over we cannot make over those
records.
For fear the comrade may again think my
memory needs refreshing, L will quote from
the record of the Adjutant-General Of
Maine: THE 3Ist Me. was engaged in the
battle of Spottsylvania, losing IL killed, 70
wounded and 10S missing" From
the 10Th to the 18th it was under fire."
Will the comrade attempt to go back OF this
record, or charge this to the butcher?
] mentioned the losses of my regiment at
Poplar Spring Church as proof that we did
not drift to the rear without an effort to
hold our ground / am not q believer in the
theory that one regiment, brigade, division,
or corps, even, did all the fighting.
The comrade should remember that re-
viewing German OF Prussian recruits, or
even assisting Gen. Hancock at the Bloody
Angle, throws no light on the Poplar Spring
Church affair, and that insinuations are
neither facts nor figures.
My limited experience in war prompts me
to believe, and think the great mass of the
comrades who participated in the war for
the Union will agree with me, that close
contact with an enemy, and hard fighting,
somehow or other, had a tendency to multi
ply casualties and that this butcher racket
is merely a trumped-up afterthough, dragged
in at this late day to deprive certain com
mands of fairly-won laurels.
While it was true that we were forced to
abandon our position on that occasion, it
was through no cowardly fears of those same
rebel troops, as Comrade Carter would have
your readers believe, but through sheer
force of circumstances and overpowering
numbers opposed to US on that field that
produced such favorable results.-F. L.

short time when c. c. Walcutt, of Column
bus. was made Colonel. The 18th Ohio
mustered something like 1,700 men during
its term of service. 1t left the State in the
Winter of 1862 to reinforce Gen. Grant at
Fort Donelson. On arriving at Paduca,
Ky., it learned of the fall of Fort Donelson.
The 46th Ohio was ordered in camp, remain
ing only few days, when it was ordered up
the Tennessee River and was the first regi
ment above Fort Henry, and was in posses
sion of Savannah, Tenn, some time before
the feet arrived. The writer was the first
sentinel on guard at the Cherry Mansion.
1t was among the first Union troops on the
memorable Shiloh battlefield. The writer
was the sentinel on guard at Col Worthng-
toms tent on Tuesday, April /. when quite
q number of the general officers were calling
on the Colonel, and were talking over the
prospects of great battle. When he told
the others present that the position of the
Union troops was exposed to the enemy, and
should be fortified, the officers made light of
Col. worthington's wild remark. You all
know the result. The 46th Ohio was in this
great battle, and held it's organization on
the 9Th and 7th. 1t was in the campaign to
Corinth, Miss, then went to Memphis, Tenn.
In the Fall of 1862 it marched with Grants
army on the Water Valley defeat by Van
Dorm at Holly Springs, going to Vieksburg,
OF Haines's Bluffs, in the Spring of 1868, and
was in the battle of Jackson, Miss, in July,
1863. 1t was in the great battles of Mission
Ridge and Knoxville, Tenn. Re-enlisted at
Seottsborongh, Ala, for three years. 1t took
part in all the battles from Resaca to At
lanta, then marched with Gen. Sherman to
the sea and across the Carolinas; was at the
Grand Review at Washington. This regi-
ment was always ready for any part OF the
patriotic duty assigned to it. There are
many pathetic scenes, rs well rs pleasures,
connected with the 46th Ohio during the
four years of its war record. The writer has
been 10 many of the National cemeteries
and stood by many graves marked 46th
Ohio. Comrades, You do not know the feel
ing that comes over one when he sees the
last resting place of his old comrades when
he goes to these lonely resting places after
many years. The 10th won her record on
the battlefields, and not by newspaper talk.
