HOW GEN. LYON DIED.
A ID U. s. Man Says He Was Not Leading a
Charge.

EDiToR NATIONAL Tribune: In reading
an account of the battle OF Wilson's Creek,
Mo-, in your issue, of Aug. 90, it is stated
that Gen. Lyon wis Killed in charge. l
have also heard men OF the LIST Kan. and the
1st Iowa say that he was leading them in a
charge when he was killed.
/ wish to state right here that Gen. Lyon
was not leading any charge or anybody when
he was killed. Gen. Sweeny was not near
him, and did not oder Lieut.. Hines to put
him in an AMBULANCE. | will give you the
true account of Geh. LYONS death.
Gen. Lyons conpahy OBJ and Capt. Fred
companies of the71st Inf. were guarding n
battery on HILL 1T must have been be-
tween II and 1 o'clock. Gen. Lyon came
on the hill. He got off his horse close to
where l was, handed the bride TO his Or
derby. and walked TO the brow of the hill to
look down on Price and McCulloch in the
valley. 1t was not over five minutes from
the time he got of his horse until he was
killed.
Capt Steele told his Orderly to throw his
cloak over him, and also told us not to cir
culate the report that he was killed.
In proof of this statement / refer you to
Gen. David S. Stanley, who manned the bat
terry that we were guarding; also, to ID. w.

who was then First Sergeant of Lyons old

woke mp, about / a M, and moved OF In
what we thought was in the direction oil the
rebel Capital, we found we were again going
to the rear, winding up on the plateau at
Harrisons Landing.
A rebel battery which had followed rs
mn. after throwing a few shells into our
bivouac was brought into camp-men, horses
and guns-by Kearny, thus ending the Seven
Days battle.
i would say this was the best battle
fought between the Army of Northern Vir-
cinia and that of the Army of the Potomac.
There were no breastworks or trees to afford
protection. 1t was fought in open fields;
an all-day fight,
The charge made by the Confederates we
consider among the greatest and most des-
perate of the war; and in at least one partic-
ular excelled Pickett. at Gettysburg.
Pckett's charge on July 3, 1863, was
magnificent, grand, heroic, and the troops
that repulsed them were sublime; but Pick
ett's men came on once most CALAMITY and
grandly. and could rot be rallied until they
reached their camps, six miles to the rear.
The Confederates, July /. 1862, at Malvern
Hill. came on three times, twice over their
dead and wounded. Veterans who were IN
charges will remember that in going IN we
do not see the destruction, and ii is in COM
ing back we see the dead and wounded, and
to rally these men to go back again over this
ground, they must be classed as good stuff.
Whether they were the same troops or not
we do not know, but we do know that

at Malvern that resisted successfully these

An Eagle Regiment Boy Who Pulled One of

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 7 see in
your Aug. % issue an article by Comrade
Brown, 47lh Ind, describing an incident that
/ took part in. He stated his regiment helped
haul those "a Founders to Point Pleasant,
Mo. We we've stationed at Point Pleasant,
and those rebel gunboats shelled our camps
most every day. We did guard duty in the
riGe-pits at Point Pleasant for some time,
| and the worst that befell US while there was
short rations.
For about two weeks all the rations issued
! to us was cornmeal and native black mOasses.
! We were camped in a swamp where lizards
| and other inhabitants of that mud country
were in abundance. l don't remember the
dates so well, but Comrade Brown says
| March II, 1862. Another detail " took this
same 24-pounder to Riddles Point. Well,
the 9th Wis, OF lrt of it, was that other
| detailn
We took that gun out of the mud where
| he left it, and pulled that same rope. How
we snaked it through the mud! AT first it
! was great fun, and each man did his level
best, thinking of Smelling the JOhnnies; but
| as the boys of the 47th Ind got tired, we, too,
began TO think it hard road to travel.
1t was nearly morning when We made the
last pull and turned the gun over to the
artilierymen. While trying to sneak out of
ranks and be left behind, the Captain called
out:
Here, Hall, come back; you'll get your
- head shot off"
We started back to camp, and before we
got half way-back the ball opened. Of
course, before long we knew that those gun
boats wouldn't trouble us any more.
In few days Island No. 10 fell, and we
were ordered up the river to PHtsburg Land

Missouri Comrades Ideas.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE of Sept. IL, in reply
to l.. b. Avery, you say that the greenback
fell to 80 cents on the dollar. Now, please
tell the boys that the greenback always paid
100 cents of debt, and that is all it pays now.
And tell them also that 100 cents of debt is
all q gold dollar ever paid. Question: Would
any man with an ounce of brains pay pre-
mftim for gold dollar if paper dollar
would answer the same purpose? Money
was not made to buy and SELL Tell the
boys one queer thing about money is that
men will risk life and honor for the drafted
stuff, and then, after doing all that, it is no
use under the Heavens until they get rid of
it. Funny, amt it? Still, men will talk
and write about the intrinsic value of gold
dollar, and some men will talk about fiat
money. Why, God bless you, boys, there
isn't any other kind uncoined! Gold, silver,
copper, nickel, and paper are no more money
than cordwood or coonskins. Our County
Treasurer has no more right to accept un-
coined gold or silver for taxes than he has
to accept sorghum molasses or rye straw.
Funny, amt it? They both lack the fiat

PERILOUS UNDERTAKING.
Comrade Trips Pluck Merited Medal o
Honor.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I was
very much interested in reading the ''Trib-
ute to Gen. Wadsworth,,n from the pen OF
b. ii. Trip, which appeared few weeks
ago.
Comrade Trip was member of the En-
gineer corps organized in May, 1862, to re-
build the railroad bridge across the Kappa
hammock River at Fredericksburg, Va; of
which corps ] was also member.
During the "retrograde movement of
Gen. Pope's army from Cedar Mountain to
the deienses of Washington, in August and
September, 1862, we were kept TO the rear
of the column TO destroy bridges and other
wise impede the advance of the enemy.
While we were destroying the railroad
bridge at Rappahannock Station saw Com
rade Trip perform feat that for daring
had few equals during the war, and which
ought to entitle him TO a medal from Con-
gress for bravery.
There was section of battery of ~
pound brass guns on n knoll, throwing solid
shot into the bridge. At the same time the
engineers were busy cutting posts and
stringers. while detail of about 30 myself
incuded) were stationed along the rivers
bank above and below The bridge firing at
the enemy's sharpshooters, who were trying
to save the bridge.
While occupied at this work few rods
below the bridge saw Trip start out with
an armful of siding that he had torn from
thu mill that stood above the bridge, and
cross the river the wreck of the bridge
A part of The siringers had been cut away,
| leaving nothing upon which to walk except
pieces Of 2x10 stay lath, spiked TO the posts.
edge up, at the time the bridge was built.
When he came to q space where there
were 10 stringers he would bring his arm
full of siding down in front of him, to be
used in balancing while he walked the edge
| Of the 2x10.
After reaching the opposite shore he
started fire under the bridge, to which he
added everything available that would burn.
When assured that the fire was success he
climbed the bank and returned to our side
of the river by the same perilous route.
During his trip over and back he was sub
jected to n fire from several of the enemy Is
sharpshooters located along the railroad aud
the rivers bank also, during the time, the
battery did not "let up" in their firing on
the doomed bridge. How he escaped being
killed while performing that perilous duty
| is more than j can imagine.
Can any comrade inform me TO what bat
terry those two guns belonged which helped
us destroy the bridge, and which also made
1T exceedingly hot for brigade of the enemy
who were making for a point below us on
the river and in full view OF where we were !

THREE GRAND CHARGES.
what COUGHS Division Resisted at Malvern
Hill.


Enron NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The night
preceding the battle of Charles City Cross
roads our division (Couch's) marched
through The woods and swamps, coming out
at daylight below Malvern Hill on broad
highway. 1t shortly afterward moved TO
the crest of the hill, where it manuvered
in line-of-battle supporting the artillery, who
were engaged in repulsing Wise's rebel
division, who had come down from Rich
mond on the River road to gain possession
of this position.
This affair was known as Turkey Bend,
or what might he properly termed the ex-
treme left of the battle of Charles City Cross
roads. That night we stacked arms on the
broad plateau some distance in front of the
old Colonial mansion that surmounts the
hill.
At daybreak the next day, July j, we
moved by the right flank short distance,
and swung into line-of-bsttle opposite
strip of timber skirting n road. The rebel
artillery had opened at this time. Soon we
moved through he belt of woods, and Rugged
the bank of The road to escape the bursting
shell that were passing down and all around
it.
Orders came for us 10 move to the support
of one of our batteries. To reach this posi-
sion we had to cross field of grain, lying
down several times TO avoid canister and
shrapnel. When we reached the battery
we found it hotly engaged with a rebel bat
terry across a ravine and flock of sharp
shooters who were annoying our battery
bows. These were soon driven out by one
of our companies under Capt. John F. Glenn
Qater ColOnel). Our battery was good
stuff" standing up to its work well. While
we lay in support of the battery the rebs
had an enfilading fire which swept few
feet from our heels, throwing the sand all
ma

This portion of our line seemed to curve
to the rig bit and rear. We were hugglng the
ground close; in fact, veterans who have been
in such positions know that when not en-
gagged in firing one could bury himself
Here we could hear the great volume of
sound from the rebels rs they came on the
charge to crush our line to the left of our
position. As they rushed on it seemed that
the mus5etry silenced, and now could be
heard the crash of the artillery and 10000
rebel yells-
Suddenly up went the Union cheers, and
we knew without the asking that they had
been repulsed.
1t now came our turn to get in the battle
line, and, moving to the left, passing Gen.
Couch, who sat on his horse near some out
buildings, twIlng riding whip, and giving
his orders as cOolly review, we crossed
q brush fence relieving the 6lst Pa, OF our
brigade.
Abercrombie's batteries, in our rear, were
playing over our heads into the woods a
quarter Of a mile beyond. We saw the
rebels in three lnes-of-battle emerge from
the woods, in length half mile, fully TO-
600 strong. eAs they crossed the plain our
batteries opened upon them with shell and
canister; but on they came. Our Colonel.
Thomas III. NELL (Bucky) } was riding up and
down the rear of our line, cautioning the
men not TO fire until we could see the but
tons on the Johnniee' coats. We gave them
spoint-blank volley, followed with continu-
Gus fring-at-will. We sent them back. But
they in a short time came on again, with
countless battle0ags waving in the sunlight.
Brave men were they. They were again
checked, going back completely demorallzed
We had used 60 rounds of ammunition TO
resist these two desperate charges. Not a
round could be had 1t was night So,
filing a short distance to the left we stacked
arms upon the field, with the assurance from

our Colonel that if ammunition could he had
we should have our share. Who blundered
in not having ammunition? As / have
since learned Of Others engaged in that bat
tle, they, like US, did not have round of
ammunition after the fight closed that day,
and d not get a round until the next day,
late IN the afternoon, at Hauison's Landing.
Yet the grand old Army of the Potomac biv-
ouacked that night on the wel-w field with
nothing but the bayonet to resist an attack.
But the attack did not come. The enemy
was so badly beaten that the roads leading
10 Richmond were filed with his panic
stricken army. This was told to me some
time afterwards by rebel First Sergeant
OF the 18th Ca, who lay wounded with me
in our lines at fredericksburg.
He was in the charges, and when he came
back on the last one could not find a
man of his company, and did not until late
the next day. When they advanced III
O'Clock he was on the skirmish-line, and
much TO his establishment our army was
gone. Here, then, was one of the oppor-
