EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There is
much that has not been written about the
late civil contest. Let me narrate one little
incident that / know to be true.
Some time in July, 1864, Gen. A. j. Smith
and his guerrillas were ordered into Mssis-
sippi TO retrieve a dire disaster that had
happened 10 Gen. Sturgis about m onth
previous. Being on the duty of scout from
a mile to a mile-and-a-half in front of Gen.

the door, saw a newspaper upon the center

and saw that it was the Mobile Register,

their dead. Gen. Smith sent them word

How Some Stalwarts of the 95th Ohio Go
Ont of a Bad Scrape.

How Some StaIwarts of the 95th Ohio Got
Out of Bad Scrape.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At the
request of my father, James M. Pine, who
served three years in Co. G, 95th Ohio, /
will write few scraps of its service as re-
lated by him. He enlisted in August, 1862
and was in the Richmond (Ky.) fight.
Here occurred an episode which my father
will never forget. The 95th was surrounded
by the rebels under Kirby Smith, and all
surrendered excepting about so, my father
! being one Of that number, who was not
ready to be placed in Libby or Anderson
| vile.
Shortly after dark the 60 were grouped in
consultation, when they were accosted by a
man, whom they learned by inquiry to be
Maj. Brock, of Kentucky, and who volun-
teered TO take them through the enemy's
lines. At first he was doubted, for my
father was of the opinion that he was reb,
and was going to lead them into trap, but
at last the 60 consented to 60 for if they
failed they soon would be prisoners, and if
they staid where they were they would be
prisoners anyhow.
The Major led them in a roundabout
way taking them up a creek-bed. About
~ o'clock at night they halted, and the
and he would stand guard. They were then
so close to the rebels that they could see
the pcket-fres.
After a couple of hours rest they were
awakened and started on the march. By
sunrise they were on the road to Lexington.
After they had arrived, the Major got them
in line and babe them adieu. My father says
that he will never forget that grand old
Major, who, with tears streaming down his
face and his voice trembling with emotion,
went from one 10 another and bid them
farewell.
The 60 staid at Lexington till their regi-
ment was paroled, and then they marched
to Memphis, Tenn. After they arrived, the
regiment was put on detached duty, and for
twOyears marched through aud and swamps,
following the rebel Gems. Smith, Price, aud
Forrest.
The regiment also participated in the Red
River, JimtOwn, Tupelo, and Vicksburg
fights. -
My father was never taken prisoner, and
served his full time, being mustered out Of
service Aug. IA, 1865. AS my father has
not read much in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
about his regiment, he hopes that some of
the old 95th will read this and write an
answer.-E. w. PINE. DunkiTk, o.

NEVER DID RUN.
The Lincoln Cavalry Always Stood mp to
Their Enemies.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of the 21st ult. noticed an article by
John Keit, Co. X, 18th Pa. Cav, in which
he states that for two days his regiment had
been in the advance of Hunters army before
reaching Piedmont, where the battle of that
name was fought, in the early Summer of
1864; that they had been actively engaged
during the said two days in scooping in the
enemy's cavalry, ETC.; that their duties had
been so arduous; that finally Gen. Hunter
ordered them to the rear TO rest; but that
no sooner had they been relegated to he
rear TO rest than serious trouble broke out
in front, and Hunter had to send for them
again to set matters straight and 10 clear the
way in order that his army might continue
its march. They presumably hurried to the
front in order TO relieve Hunters mind, and
while the ovefjoyed Hunter was making a
speech to them, which they couldn't wait to
hear to the end, so impatient were they I;
and, as usual, the poor JOhnnies were wiped
out to the tune of 200 or more.
But before they started he saw New
York regiment, presumably cavalry, had
broken and run away from few sllirmish-
ers of the enemy; in fact, ran right through
the ranks of the 18th Pa, and while they
were breathing in inspiration from Hunters
speech, too.
Let us see about that. The only New
York cavalry regiment in advance that day
was the 1st n. Y. Lincoln) Cav, ably backed
by Coles Maryland battalion, which never
was in the habit of running away from any
body. And we kept in the advance until
we ran slap into a brigade of rebel cavalry,
with only high rail fence between us and
them. We tried to tear the fence down,
but the rebs evidently preferred to have it
stand, for they made il so hot in that vicinity
that we finally decided to let it remain.
So we stood there looking at one another
until our infantry and artillery came up;
then the game opened.
Now, the New York cavalry regiment
which broke through your line, Comrade
Keit, was our regiment, as we were the only
one in that neighborhood, or else you
dreamed the whole affair. Our regiment at
that time numbered about 600 men, well
seasoned, who had seen three years of hard
service. They were men, too, who, as a
regiment, had never turned their backs to
the enemy, nor did they during their four
years of service.-JEROME BELL, Co. b, 1st

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Replying
to " A Fishy Story" written by VIM. E. Sell,
Sd Cav, will say that the doughty company
clerk gets after me in great shape l am
well aware of the tender spot my article,
entitled The Battle of Doubtful Canyon
reached in his makeup, but it will take more
than his assertions and ridicule to rob me OF
the truthfulness of the narrative, or detract
in the least from the well-merited tribute
my article paid to the guide and scout.
The comrades stay in New Mexico from
1857 to 1862 should have made him more
familiar with that country than it seems to
have done, not only with the locations he
attempts to dispute, but the use Of given
names he attempts to ridicule.
am only boy, 10 years old, but for some
years past my pen has put in story number
of incidents Of the Indian fights which took
place during the war, and each case. it has
brought favorable comment from those who
were participants. In this particular case,
the history of the event has been sustained
by several of the actors in the fight. Com
pany Clerk Sell says there was no such man
as Maj. McClave pronounced McClay) in
New Mexico. Consult the record of the 1st
Cal. Cav. No, MIR. Sell, Maj. McClave was
no myth, but genuine old-time Indian
fighter. When / see the old veteran who
gave the details of Doubtful Canyon fight,
and who carries with him the scars of Indian
wars, and who takes with him the confidence
of all who know him. and also the dozen or
more who have written me since the article
appeared recalling nearly all the incidents
mentioned in my original article, will ask
them if they ever knew comrade, VIM. E.
Sell, who is now stationed at Sipe Springs,
Tex. and no doubt they will duly apologize
for having been in fight that he seems to
be so ignorant OF.
History again contradicts Mr.. Sell, for
the 1st Cal. Cav, with their splendid rec
ord, are not yet forgotten. No doubt the
old regiment of mounted rifles of which he
speaks were brave men, but ne should not
deny the existence of an equally brave
regiment which saw four years or more of
service in the Indian wars of the Southwest.
