The Guns on Mission Ridge. etc. z


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please an
swsr through The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
the following questions, if you know:
l. While at Missionary Ridge this last
September there was dispute as to whether
those four esnnOns that are standing where
Gen. Bragg had his Headquarters are the
same guns that were there at the time of the
battle. Some claimed they were, others
claimed they were not The Sergeant who
commanded the right gun (Mr c. H. Left
Ter. Sanford, Fla was there. He was rather
of the opinion that 1t was not the gun The
gun is marked No. III, T. J. r., 1862.
2. Mr.. Letter says his gun was marked
Lady Breckenridge - that the other guns
were named after certain prominent CEN
erals, etc. Now, there were some who
claimed it was not true; that Lady Breckin-
ridge, Buckner, etc, were captured on top
of Lookout Mountain. Now. / had a hand
In that Lookout Mountain scrape. but know
nothing about those marks. I think they
had allusion TO the guns captured near the
Craven House.
8. Does anyone know anything of a small
fort standing, possibly, quarter or half a
mile back of the Craven House, near where
we first struck the rebels? Ny recollection
is that it was nearly One-half mile before we
got to those forts by the Craven House. It
had no artillery IN 1t. We captured IA men
IN 1t. Comrade Butler, of my regiment,
took the prisoners back, and ne claims that
those are the forts where we took the IL
prisoners. | claim not. When we were
there 1T was so hot we couldn't stand 10 like
we did 80 years ago, so we left il unsolved.
4. How dOes 1t come that some New York
regiments are putting their epitaphs up at
the point, or rather chiseled it in the rock
just below the point of Lookout Mountain,
when those regiments were engaged below
the Craven House, quarter or half a mile
below the point? Our regiment belonged
to Gen. Whittakers Brigade, of the Fourth
Corps (tne 99th Ohio. We struck the reb-
els just below the Craven House, and we
were to the right, yet, of the White Star
boys. IT anyone should have anything
there, it's the old 9Th KY, which planted
the first flag on the mountain and they be-
louged to Whittaker's Brigade. I like to
see things done just as they were More
than that, think that part of the mount
ain should become part of the park. and
then let us have our epitaphs where they

With reference TO the guns on Mission
Ridge, we will say that in all probability
they are not the same that were in the bat
tie. The War Department has given the
same kind Of guns, but no way exists to ex-
actly identify them and give their history.

 The rope stitch" is commenced like the simple chain, but for the successive stitches tho needle is sent down on the outline behind the last loop stitch and brought up so as to make the loop as before This stitch makes . very pretty corded line whcn worked on worstods or rope silk.
 The feather stitch is pretty lit tie finish and may be given among the chains, as the needle and thread are held in the same way. Any number of stitch es may be taken on side or only one alternately.

THE MOST IMPORTANT ETCHING OR
 OUTLINE STITCHES.

The Fundamental or Remington stitch,
 Which Appears on So Many Embroidered
 Pieces-The Useful stem, Chain, Rope,
 Feather and Blanket stitches Described.
 The most important outline stitch and the one most generally in vogue at present is known as the "kensington outline" This is fundamental stitch and is to be found somewhere ill some form in nearly every piece of embroid- cry. It is nearly reverse back stitch and consists of long stitch forward on the face of the material and a short stitch back on the under side The work should be held as straight as possible in the left hand. not over tho forefnSer, as this makes the stitches full and looping. The line is carried from loft to right

 and the needle put in from right to left. while the thread should flow back. al lowing the stitch to be taken in front of it. This work is most satisfactory on pieces intended for constant service table covers, scarfs and linens, which are often to be washed. The stem stitch" differs from the regular outline in that while it is essentially the same long stitch on the face and short one on the back it is taken a little differently. The thread is kept from in front of the needle, and its point is brought out just below where the last stitch left the ma terial This makes little ridge line, which has very pretty twist. This is done in a frame. as is also the outlining done with thread which you constant ly twist as you work.
 The chain stitch has d very ConVen- tional and machinelike effect, but such an effect is sometimes desired. The needle should bo brought up from the wrong side of the material. the thread thrown round from left to right and held down with the thumb. The needle is worked aS far from the first point as length of stitch required. Draw this stitch through, letting the thread held
