EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
Davenport, 5th n. Y, on my article about
Hayden's guns at Gaines's Mill. l do not
think 1 have any apology to offer for any
quotations ! may have seen fit to make from
his article that / know were truthful AS
member of Capt. Edwards's Battery, L and
NJ, Sd U. S. Art, from 1861 to the latter part
Of 1864, l ought to know what we did. /
was very much impressed with all Comrade
Davenport wrote, and in the main am sure
his article was correct, but in order to satisfy
Comrade Davenport that his criticism of my
article is at once unjust and uncalled for, l
have only to 90 back to Comrade Daven-
ports article to show him the folly of at
tempting TO cast a shadow of doubt on my
statements.
Comrade, you say that we did not recover
our guns that night at Gaines's Mill after
they fell trophy to the foe. Please read
in your own article of July 26, Gen. Sykes
report, and what follows, in which you dis
tinctIy state that the two guns were re-
captured by the 10th n. Y"
Now, Comrade Davenport, I think the
above, word for word, of your own article
must vindicate the truth Of my statement,
for this is truthful history, if you did write
il and want to now contradict it. because /
wrote a few words about our battery and
what | know was enacted that day.
Now, as far as your reflection on my
statement by bringing forth my Captains
report, made eight days after at Harrison's
Landing, that he lost two guns, is con-
cerned, thought you were too much of
soldier to not be able to comprehend this
report. My Captain was in duty bound to
report that two of his guns had fallen
trophy to the foe, for it was the truth; but
his division commander, Gen. Sykes, was
the man to supply him with guns, did he
need any.
Capt. Edwards could not report that he
recaptured their guns after he had lost
them, for Gen. Sykes would have got after
him and informed him quickly that he did
not command the 18th n. Y, who did re-
capture them.
As for my statement that the men or
troops that charged on our two guns must
have been more than two regiments /; that
i thought there must have been 10 regi-
ments is again proved by your own last re-
ply, in which you stated, after examining
reports, etc, that Gen. Winder, with IL
regiments, led the charge That's some
thing like it.-W. F. WIELAND.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1895-04-18

volved. 1t IL said one regiment, the roth
Ind, sprang from q thicket upon the lunet,
and, as they came on, the Confederate artil-
lerists blazed away upon them without
checking the men. They entered the en-
brasures; they shot the gunners. In this
effort Ward was badly wounded. Col. Ben
jamin Harrison immediately took his place
and calamity continued the work."
When an eyewitness resorts "to various
accounts" and TO lit is said,n think he
had better say nothing.
Does he deny Gen. Ward being wounded
Or that the 10th Ind. did so much that day :?
Why speak of Gen. Ward being so big and
fat, when Geary and Williams and others
were as large, if not larger.
Gen. Ward has been dead several years |;
four out of five of his regimental command
ers are also dead; but l will, like Capt.
Alexander, refer to some of their reports.
Gen. Ward, in his report on the battle OF
Resaca, Vol. 80, Part 2, page 1913, Official
Records, says: The division remained here
until the morning of the 18th inst, when
we moved to the left about two miles and
were halted. AT this place an order was
given me to attack the enemy with my First
Brigade formed in battalion column at Inter-
walls of 40 PAGES between regiments.
1.-The charging column was to be supported
on the right by the Second and on the left
by the Third Brigade. We formed, as di-
rected, about one mile from the enemy 8
works, about 10 o'clock. The Third Bri-
gade going forward and attacking before
any order WAS given me TO make the attack,
/ was then ordered to charge. My command
moved forward in fine order through the
thick woods.
"After moving forward about 200 yards,
the column debouched into an open field. |
Immediately gave the order Double quick.
1t was obeyed promptly. The men, moving
steadily, rapidly carried lunet beyond the
field in a dense woods on commanding po-
sition, and four pieces of artillery Eight
1881, which we carried next day to Resaca
and turned in to the depot ordnance officer.
"Two of my regimental flags were placed
on the works, and there remained until 8
o'clock that night, when we were relieved.
A gallant, determined band followed
about 80 PAGES. Some Is or 20 were killed
by and near me, yet they moved on until we
got within about Is PAGES of their works,
when / was shot
/ was shot through the left arm, the same
ball wounding me in the side, and / then
thought it had remained in my body.
The loss of the division in this battle was
963-37 officers and 926 enlisted mems.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The in
dividual ideas of what each saw as a particle
pant in the different battles of the great war

stand why any oneof the thousands of brave
comrades who climbed the walls at Blakely
April should claim that this or that COM
rade or regiment was first in the fort l be-
lieve that / and the regiment to which l be-
longed were among the first who mounted the
rebel works at Blakely; but if my memory
serves me right the business in hand at that
particular moment, the ccnfguration of the
fort, and the circrsascribed view OF the field
of operations absolutely prevented the ques-
ton of saying who was first over the works.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
jerome Bell, Co. Il, list n. Y. Cav, seems
not to be able to remember back into '63
We wonder what he calls running with backs
turned on the enemy if it was not doing so
when his brave regiment left Milroy's COM
mand on the morning of the 18th of June,
1868, at or near Winchester. Don't you re-
member, Comrade Bell, that you did some
tall running on that occasion? You certainly
appeared to be badly excited, or wished TO in
form the authorities at Harrisburg for many
of you never halted until you reached there
Don't you think sometimes that it was
rather an t-of-the-way retreat for you to
make by the way Of Bloody Run, Everett and
Huntington, Pa? BE frank, comrade and
admit that the 1st n. Y. (Lincoln) Cav. did
their full share of running.
Comrade Keit in his article, did not say
which New York regiment did the running.
Now, you have exposed yourselves.-S. X.

It Was "Ruu or AhdefsonvilIe +" at Philadel
phla, eTonn.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Ed4niston gives short history of the East
Tennessee campaign, and says considerable
in regard to Wolford's fight at Philadelphia.
1 will state the facts in regard to that battle
as saw it. Our brigade was formed of the
1st, 18th, and 10Th Ky. Cav. and 45th Ohio
Mid Inf battery of six mountain how
itzers, and a very light 12-pounder brass
gun-all under command of Col. Frank
Wolford.
A detail of us passed through the town,
going west one mile, the main body being
camped two miles southeast of the place.
All at once we were greeted with a solid
shot from battery stationed on the Sweet
water road. We formed line, but were inn
mediately ordered to return to the regiment,
which had formed line-Of-battle east of the
town half a mile, and north of the Loudon
road the left of the regiment, Co. b, resting
on the road, the 45th Ohio on the south of
the road, extending through grove On
an eminence was a large house, where stood
the battery. Farther to the south and west
were the 1st and 18th. The rebels were on
three sides-east, south, and west. How
they got there Wolford ought to have known.
/ am sure don't.
The rebs charged US from three directions.
Our regiment started for the line east of u.s.
The Johnnies shot to kill. Down went the
old Major, commander of the regiment, shot
dead. The boys fell thick and fast The
rebs staid right there; we didn't. The 10th
Ohio WAS mixed with the rebs; you couldn't
tell t'other from which. The battery did its
level best, but the rebs ran right over it.
Wolford now appeared. His last com
mand was: "Boys get out the best you CAM
Then it was every fellow for himself and

After lapse of 81 years the goth of lost
