command surrendered, and we were de-

And here we had some amusement with
the officers OF the Invalid Corps, who wanted
TO put on style by arresting all of our boys

by such a slim show as the Invalid Corps
made, and the officers of that command

confscated his supply before he even got his

bother us any more, for well did he know we

WAY CLEAR TO RICHMOND.
But Summers Corps Was Not Allowed 70
Advance.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: It seems
TO me the Second Corps saw some little serv-
ice. 1T made something of a record under
Sumner on the Peninsula, for it was to his
marching before he received orders from
Little Mac that the corps arrived at Fair
Oaks in time to turn the defeat of Reyes and
Casey into grand victory. Cen Sumner
did not receive the orders to prepare his
columns TO advance to the assistance of Keyes
and Casey until the column was well under
way and had advanced several miles.
The morning after Fair Oaks, before the
break Of day, was ordered to make recon-
noissance toward Richmond, to see how the
land lay. So, picking two men from the
company-although both we're very young,
being under 81 years, / selected them
because L knew they could be depended
upon to stick to me, as / had them sew
eral times before with me on like expedi-
dItions. Their names were Fred Johnson
and Adolph Kornberger.
Well, we went out the Williamsburg road
OR, in other words, 10 the right or west of
it. We mad some adventures in this region
in the road and field-where great many
vehicles of all kinds that the people had come
out from Richmond in to see the Yankees
driven into the Chickahominy. But it was
with them as with the people from WASH
ington at the first Bull Run battle. They
were glad to get ON the horses and ske-
daddle, leaving their carriages wagons, and
all other kinds Of traps behind.

on COUGHS Division at Malvern Hill. Oct. 10.
1t was this battery that the Odd Pa. sup
ported in the oatfield, and was engaged with
the rebel battery across the ravine. This
ravine ran past our front, about 200 yards
away, and extended past our left flank for
some distance. 1t. WAS lined with sharp
shooters, who got in their work on the bat
terry well. In short time they killed two
men and wounded two officers and Is en-
listed men. They also killed Is horses and
wounded twice as many more.
when the ODD Pa. left us to join its
brigade, the Goth N. Y. took its place be-
hind the trails of the pieces. They, too,
thought kindly of the battery, for one was
heard to say every man should have a bat
terry like that in his family.o

To return to the reconnaissance. We went
on until we could see the tops of the church
spires in the distance through the woods,
which we took to be Richmond, or on the
outskirts
As it was getting lighter it became adj
visable for us to get back to report, as some
shots had been fred at us by the rebel
pickets. We about-faced and picked our
way carefully back and quickly, rs the day
light was now advancing fast.
We passed several barns with dead and
wounded rebels in. At one a big and fierce
dog came out at ms. told the men not to
fire, SO one of them stuck his bayonet in
him, and the other knocked him III the
head with the but of his gun.

Just giving my report to Gen. Sumner that
it was ali clear to Richmond, when an AID
de-Camp rode up from Mcclellan and said
that he should not advance OF bring on an
engagement if it could be avoided.
You never saw q wilder man than Gen.
Sumner was, for we all felt opfident that
if we had pushed on, aud we all felt that
way, we would have been in Richmond be-
fore night. About o'clock in the afternoon
Gen. Mcclellan, with the dandy body guard,
rode on to the field.
We lay in that swamp through the month
of June until the finest body of men ever
composing an army were reduced by 6curvy
and swamp fever to skeletons and scare
crows. Yet there was no knocking the
fight out of them, as the Seven Days fight
proved, when Summers Second Corps COW
vered the change of base. At Fair Oaks
they received the shock; they counter
charged at Peach Orchard; they made the
closing in the evening across the railroad
track and where the hospital tents stood at
Savage Station; they received the rebels
and closed the fight at White Oak Swamp /;
were the last to retire at Malvern Hill. And
here my story ends.

BOUND TO HAVE A FIGHT.
BUILDING THE RING AT HOT SPRINGS FOR

BUILDING THE RING AT HOT SPRINGS FOR
coRBETT AND FITZsIMMoNs.
Hot Springs Ark Oct. 25.-The outlook for q
meeting OF some kind between Corbett and Fftz-
simmons is about as favorable tonight as at any
time since the original proposition to bring on the
fight made by the local citizens committee
to the representatives OF the two fighters The az
fair will not be under the auspices OF the Florida
Athletic Club, and the purse will have dwinded
from s4 900 TO a fourth OF that sum. The fight may
be shorn OF large proportion OF the vast crowd or
spectators and the spectacular effects that nave
been calculated upon. Corbett Is still at spring
Lake tonight, and has said he will remain In train
ing until November l. A long time after midnight
tonight several wagon-loads OF lumber were seen
moving north on Central-ave.. and visitors to-mor-
row In the nelghborhood OF Wilmington Park may
watch the operation OF constructing twenty-four
foot ring for the contest.
Corbett declared to-day with emphasis that he did
not propose to go away from Hot Springs that
Fitzslmmons and Julian would Insist that he had
purposely sneaked away; that hundreds OF thou
sands OF people would believe the same thing; that
he did not propose to rest under any such stigma
and that he would remain where he was until
Christmas II there was a ghost OF a show OF the

agreed accept the situation. Then he drove over
into the city and electrified the crowd that had
gathered the station for the purpose of So 80 the
champion go with the announcement thai m de-
parture was of and that there would be a hght.
At the hotel Brady said TO members OF the Citi-
zens' Committee: "Corbett proposes 10 remain. and
that's all there is to 1t. Now. you gentlemen can
go ahead with your plans We will produce
at any time and place you may designate
and any notice you may give"
Under the decision Of the Supreme Court prize
fighting IS only misdemeanor, punishable by
fine under a hearing OF a Justice OF the Peace.
The men therefore in no danger OF mprison-
ment, and would not object to fine. Under the
same decision the fight would not be an emergency

Hence there is only the last resort OF special
sion OF the Legislature. 1t would take at least
three days to convene and organize this body and
to pass the needed law would take longer. This
would give ample time for the fight
Corbett this afternoon teegraphed to Philip Dwyer
and others In NeY-York 10 forward the stake
money at once He stated In the telegram that
he determined 10 remain in Hot Springs until
November !, and the matter out. Corbett was
furious this afternoon over the receipt OF tele-
gram from Martin Julian in which the latter stated
that II Corbett did not remain at Hot Springs and
meet Ftzsmmons he Gulianl would proclaim him
a coward and cur.
