Under Jeff G. Davis.

John G. Fari0 Sergeant Co. b. S6th ILL.,,
Mount Ayr, Iowa, writes: "Corpl Milton
Graham is mistaken about Lieut.. Kingsley
commanding our company at the charge at
Little Kenesaw June 81, 1864. Second
Lieut.. Peter W. Wykoff was in command.
Both the Lieutenants are now dead
Kingsley was at that time still on detail
with the Pioneer Corps, and did not join us
until on the Chattahoochee River, about July
/, 1864. He was with US at the mouth OF
Peach Tree Creek, July 49, and the brigade
was then in charge OF Col. Dilworth, OF the
S5th Ill. The brigade was made up OF the
Odd Ohio, ODD Ind, S5th, seth, and 125th Ill
"This battle of Peach Tree Creek was not
that of the 22d, when Mcpherson was killed
Our brieade-the Third, Second Division,
Fourteenth Corps, Gen. Thomas command
ing-were the first troops to cross the creek
on the evening of July IL, crossing on logs,
boards, brush, etc, which had blocked up
from Chattahoochee River.
"Gen Morgan had been ordered to cross
lower down, but found it not possible, 30
Gen. Jeff G. Davis ordered Dilworth to
cross. Corp1 Graham will remember our
lying in the brush watching the 22d Ohio
and 9th ILL.,, already over, and getting badly
used up. Capt. Barrett opened his battery
and saved the capturing of those two regi-
ments entire; rs it was, one-half OF eacn
was captured, including the Colonel OF the
22d Ohio.
"Gen. Davis was sitting in our company
| as we all watched the movements of those
| troops of his, now over. Your humble COM
rade conversed with the General, and he
said the rebels were handling our men
roughly. He was in no way excited, for he
| had as much confidence in his men as the
men had in him. We were the same jeff
c. Davis foot cavalry in fight as on the
march"
| The First Victim.
| AIonzo Joy, Co. l, 9Th Mass, and Co. G.,
35th Mass, writes: Z" In your issue OF oct.
| II find piece headed The First Victim.
| think Comrade Schaffnit has forgotten that
on April 10, 1861, during the passage OF the
9th Mass through Baltimore they lost four
killed and 80 or more wounded l claim the
first amputation, that of the third finger on
the left hand. / also claim the longest term
of service in the volunteers, five years and
80 days. And / was at the front as long as
there any front"
Death of Albert Sidney Johnston.
I. N. wray, Co. I, 1st Neb., Marysville
Mo-, writes: ''In your issue OF Sept 5, Com
rade Bradley, of California, contributes an
article concerning the death of A 5. John
ston.. He has since asked me, by letter, to
give nay recollection of the matter.
81 remember that on the morning after
the fight of Shiloh l was out ON the battle
field with others, and we saw the corpse OF
very distinguished looking Confederate. AT
that time it was reported to be the body oil
Gen. Bragg. 1t lay in a ravine in front oil
where Gen. Woods men had fought
Directly after returning to camp, yet IN
the forenoon of the same day, April ., 1867,
it was reported that CoDfederates, under nag
of truce, had come after the body, and that
it was Gen. Johnston.
at seems to me strange that there should
be any controversy over matter OF TINS
kind at this late writing"
