Were Others" in That Fight
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue OF Dec. 5 / find two articles, the writers
OF which L believe made mistakes without
the least intention. Col. T. +. Mccoy saws
in substance that Gen. Warren did his work
as well as could be expected of him in the
last campaign. Well, much was expected of
him, for he was a good General aud had n
good corps, and it was not only the Fifth
Corps that INDUCED in a little extra pro-
family when Little Phil used his authority
OF stopping a man who was going too slow to
suit him.
Gen. Warren was all right We of the
Second knew him. But my correction is in
saying Gen. Warren did not lead the last
charge, if that was at Five Forks. might
say we of the First Division, Second Corps,
were under fire every day except one from
March 81 TO April Z, inclusive, and we had
two charges later than the fighting at Five
Forks.
At Sailors Creek, on the 9th Of April we
mad light In the evening of that day, but
we had tramped straight along after the
Johnnles almost the entire day. Not fast.
remember, for the said Johnnies were a
little touchy, and halted frequently TO dress
up our lines.

the SD Pa makes his mistake. Ny neigh

that brigade, and as good brigade as any

regiment lost ii killed, 80 wounded and one
missing. Total loss in service, one officer
and SO men killed and 800 men died.
The 9th w. Va. Cav.
The companies composing the regiment
were organized at Clarksburg, Wheeling and
Newburg W. Va, during June and July,
1861, TO serve three years, and at that time
formed what was designated the Sd W. Va.
The designation was changed to mounted
infantry in November, 1863, and in January,
1864, 1T became the 9th w. Va. Cav. The
original members except veterans, were
mustered out In August, 1864, and the re-
naming members, with recruits, were con-
soildated into battalion of six companies
Sept. 2, 1864. A battalion of the 9Th w.
Va Cav, consisting of five companies, was
consolidated with it Dec II, 1864 The en-
tire regiment was mustered out May %.

Feb. 10, 1864; Lieut-Col. Francis w. Thomp-
son was mustered out at expiration of his
term of service, Aug. Is, 1864; Col George
X Latham was discharged March 8, 1865,
and when the regiment was mustered out
Lieut.-COl. Rufus Z. Fleming was the rank
ing officer. The command served in KeIly's
Division, with a loss of FIVE officers and So
men killed and two officers and 172 died.

A Deserved Prosperity.

Nothing better illustrates than the expert
ence of N. w. Aver & Son, the WELL known
newspaper advertising agents of Philadelphia,
the truth of the saying that keeping everlast-
ingly at it is the surest, or at least one of the
primary, conditions of business success.
Not many years ago q single floor in the
Times Building afforded space enough for
Messrs. Aver & Sons purposes, but their bus-
ness grew. and presently the accommodation
which that single floor offered had become in
adequate.
Another floor was rented, and in like man.
ner to be outgrown, and now, though occupy
ing all the upper floors of the building, to
which, since its erection, story has been
added, the firm again finds itself cramped for
room. and is compelled to seek other quarters
in order that the conduct of its business may
not be embarrassed. This is record of growth
which it would be hard to parallel. Beginning
few years ago in comparatively small way,
Messrs- Aver & Son have advanced to the front
rank in their line of business.
Theirs is one of the largest advertising firms
in the country, and its position has been at
tanned by methods which command respect,
by energy, enterprise, liberality and an abso-
lutte answering raightforwardness. Its pros.
perity has been fairly won and is well deserved.

SENATOR HARRIs's LETTER.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April IL, 1895, "

JACOB FINK, Esq.
DEAR SIR: / reached home this evening
and found in my mail your letter of the Stf
inst, in answer to which | will say, First
that thank you for sending me the clipping
from the Canton Daily Register of April 6
1896, but must be permitted to express my
establishment at the statement its contains
But / will not review the many errors
of fact that ii contains, or rebuke the
falsehoods as they deserve TO be rebuked,
but content myself with simple and plain
statement of the facts
was by the side of Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston when he was wounded on the
evening of April 6. 1862 We were about
the center of the right wing of the Confed-
crate army and ID or 90 steps in rear of our
line-of- battle, the Federals and Confederates
occupying parallel ridges in easy musket-
range of each other.
A minie-ball struck his knee and cut the
artery, from which the blood spurted with
each pulsation in great volume; but the
first knowledge had Of the fact that he
was wounded was his leaning from me in
the saddle in a manner that impressed me
with the idea that he was falling from his
horse. righted him up in his saddle, and
asked, General, are you wounded?" and
he answered: Yes, and / fear seriously"
These were the last words that be ever
uttered. / Immediately asked Capt. Wick
ham to send me the first Surgeon he could
find TO the depression about so yards in
rear Of our line, and TO go on and send DR..
Yandall, the Medical Director, and guided
the Generals horse and my own 10 the de-
preston about so yards In rear of our line
of-battle. where / took him off his horse
and sat by him with my finger on his pulse
until he died. j did not look at my watch,
but am satisfied he did not live an hour
after he received the wound.
Not 10 minutes before he received the
wound in the knee, ball had struck the
edge of the sole of his boot and cut the sole
clear across; and / asked him at the mo-
ment, Are you woundedt did the ball
touch your foot?" He said, No, it did
not.n
Gen. VIM. Preston Joined me few mo-
ments before Gen. Johnston's death, and
when he died said to Gen. Preston:
lone of us must see the remains of the
General back 10 his tent, and the other
must report TO Gen. Beauregard the fact of
his deathn
Gen. Preston said, " / will see his remains
back to his tent if you viii report TO Gen
Beauregard," 10 which / agreed, and imme-
diately proceeded to find Gen. Beauregard
aud report TO him the fact Of Gen. Johnston's
death.
i returned to the tent Of Gen. Johnston
that night; found his remains there; spent
the night there and on the next morning
his remains we're sent to New Orleans for
interment; and there is to-day a splendid |
monument over the grave of Albert Sidney
Johnston in the cemetery at New Orleans
That the body of Gen. Johnston ever fell |
into the hands of Federal soldiers i know |
Is not true.
OF the watch story know nothing, but |
believe it 10 be wanton fabrication.
Respectfully, 1sHAM G.. HARRIS.

Senator Isbam G. Harris Gives a Circum-
stantial Account of His Death and the
Disposition of His Remains.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue OF Dec. came up again the story of
finding the body Of Gen. Albert Sidney
Johnston, of Shiloh fame. About the same
kind of a story appeared in one of our daily
papers a few months ago, to which i an
swered and made the assertion that the
Confederate Gen. A. S. Johnston never fell
into the hands of any Union soldiers, dead
or alive, at the battle of Shiloh, April g.,
1862. To settle this controversy / wrote to
Uniten States Senator Isham G. Harris, of
Memphis, Tenn, who was on the staff of Gen.
A. 5. Johnston, and with him at the time of
his death. Enclosed find his letter to me,
which you may publish, and 1 hope will
give some light to the survivors of the battle
of Shiloh on that subject-JACoB FINK,
