Comrade Blak eslee, in his article published

Comrade Blakeslee in his article published
Feb. IA, says: "Now, isn't it singular that
Gen. Hooker should send single regiment
into that whirlpool of death to capture the
rebel works, which were SO strong that they
had defied two determined assaults by divis-
ions the previous day? Pr Now, isn't it more
singular that more than one regiment was
sent in there at all? What did one regiment
do? They went in there. Some of them
went up near the guns and were killed (;
others saw and realized the condition. fell
back a few rods, and remained there. What
more did all the men sent in there do :?
Soon after the White Star men came saw
Gems. Hooker, Geary and Butterfeld In
there on foot, and they were just ss shy as
any of us about approaching too near the
enemy's line. A dozen men in rife-pit,
that could have been put there the night
previous, could have done just as much as
all the men thrown in there did; and there
were parts of three divisions of the Twentieth
Corps and more killed than would have
been necessary to do all that was done.
As to digging the guns out, few small
boys could have done the work and had
plenty of time. Even an army Chaplain
could have done it, undisturbed, for the
enemy went off and left them.
i claim that the whole four-gun business
was failure, and there was useless sacrl-
fee of life right there. The movement, like
the charging of the works on the side OF
Kenesaw Mountain, was the result OF bad
judgment, aud no sane man will attempt to
extract glory from either; and our command
ing officers, some of them, did learn that
such management was wearing us out faster
than the enemy. PHETTEPLACE, Co. d,

BATTLE OF BELMONT.


Some Corrections of Comrade BOrfDg's Story
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE / wish ia
offer few corrections on Comrade Behring'S
article on the battle of Belmont, No.,
fought Nov. Z, 1861. He has a great many
more troops engaged than were actually
there. Gen. Grants total foice was five
regiments Of infantry, two companies OF
cavalry and one section of artillery. The
infantry was, the 22d H., Col. Dsugherty
9th ILL.,, Col. Bufore Goth ILL.,, Col. Fouke;
31.t H., Col. Logan, aud TIN Iowa, Col.
Lauman. Grants loss was 4S5 killed,
wounded and missing. Oar regiment lost
10 killed and between 40 and so wounded.
Mai. McClerkin, who was MORALLY wound
ed in the head and left on the field, was
cared for by the enemy and died at Column
bus the next day. Capt. Marckley. of Co.
d, and Lieut.. Dougherty, OF Co. X, were
killed. / think Dougberty was a brother
OF the Colonel of the ODD H., who lost u
leg on that day.
Our company had one killed Henry
Blstine) and seven wounded. Comrade
Boring says: "Capi Bnsbyshell, of Grants
staff, was killed" Busbysheil never was q
mem Der of Grants staff, and was not killed
al Belmont. He was Quartermaster OF our
regiment, and was dismissed. from the serv-
ice in the Spring Of 1862. The only staff
officer killed was capa Bilaski, of Gen.
McClernand's staff, land who, by the way,
was First-Lientenant of Co. of our regi-
ment at that time. Col. Oglesby was not
at Belmont, as stated byi Boring, but was on
an expedition further west, which necessi-
tated the battle of Belmont in order to
prevent force beng sent from Columbus
to attack him.. III. BRADFORD, Co. a,

AN ELIXIR OF LIFE.

+. A. Slocum Offers To Send Two Bottles
Free of His Remedy to Cure Consump-
ton.
Nothing could be fairer, more philapthropc
or carry more Joy in its wake than the offer OF
r. A. Slocum, NJ. C.. of 1873 Pearl Street, New
York. Perfectly confident that he has an alb.
soluts remedy for the cure of consumption
and all pulmonary complaints. he offers
through this paper to send two bottles free to
any reader who is suffering from lung trouble
or consumption. He invites those DESTROYS
of obtaining this remedy 10 send their express
and postofiice address, and to receive in re-
turn the two bottles, which will arrest the APP
proach of death. Already this remedy, by its
timely use has permanently cured thousands
of cases which were given up. and death, in
its sable robes, was looked upon as an early
visitor
knowing his remedy as he does. and being
SO proofpostive of its beneGcent results DIR.
Slocum considers it his religious duty, duty
which he owes to humanity, TO donate his in-
fallibe remedy where it will assault the enemy
in its citadel, and, by its inherent potency. stay
the current of dissolution, bringing Joy to
homes over which the shadow of the grave has
been gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of tho remedy-offered freely-apart
from its inherent strength, is enough TO COM
mend il, and more SO is the perfect confidence
of the gentleman making the offer, who holds
out life to those already becoming emaciated,
aud says: " BE cured"
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration of the afflicted, who. for years.
have been taking nauseons nostrums without
effect; who have ostracised themselves from
home and friends to live In more salubrious
climes, where the atmosphere IL more con-
genial to weakened lungs, and who have
fought against death with all the weapons and
strength In their hands. There will be no
mistake in sending for these bottles-the mis-
take will be in passing the invitation BY.

story sounds somewhat ishy.' He says to-
ward the close of his article that the 45th
Ill. was relieved by another regiment, and
that other regiment was driven out. The
regiment that relieved his was the 124th
H., and made relief earlier in the day than
8 o'clock in the evening They were not
driven out, but went out under orders be-
cause the advanced position in the Crater
was doing us no good, and was useless
waste of life. Not more than 20 men could
operate in the Crater at one time, for
want of room. We went in by detail and
staid a certain time, when we were re-
lieved to rest, and then would take our turn
again. Too much praise can never be given
to the Goth and 18th ILL.,, but when you write
again, old comrade. don't forget the one

Edison ID. Crawley, of Co. II, well known as

of Hood in October and on the march to

rest of the boys had lain down for the night,
when, being opposed to pack any more
weight than he was obliged to, and believ-
ing in marching as light as possible he
would get up, borrow q coffee-pot at one
place, coffee ut another, and such provisions
as he could find in his own or in other COM
panies, make good big fire and cook full
sized square meal, one that generally lasted
him until 10 or IL o'clock the next night.
After eating all he wanted he usually re-
turned his coffee-pot and fry-pan, then
kicked the Goals and some of the ashes
away from the fire and lay down on the
warm ground to sleep soundly, often with
out blanket, but at peace with all the
world. And be often slept until the regi-
ment fell in next morning to continue the
march, when some one would awaken him.
