however, from laying plans to escape. To
quiet u.s. and as if to aliay our apprehen-

part TO regain our liberty, our guards talked
encouragingly about our being exchanged

Unfortunately, some of our men were be-

least promised success, was thwarted. To

army had crossed the Mississippi River at
Grand Gulf, and Gen. Grant had severed
every communication with Admiral Porter
and the North, we, crowned with the vic
tories of Champion Hill, Jackson, Raymond,
and other engagements, were marching
with eagerness toward Vicksburg, which
our brigade (Osterhaus's) approached on the
evening of May 16, 1863, by the Jackson
road. Turning to the right, at the head of
Sherman's Corps, we formed the extreme
right of Grants army, but the outwOrks
prevented a further movement. Our Skin

At this moment thousands of men aro

In the R1ise of foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the commonest pre-
cautions for the preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late? A man may do
almost any amount of good, hard work if he
will take care of his health and when he

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the issue
Of June II Gen. r. w. johnson gives Us q
good description of the great battle of Nash
ville although be fails to mention the fact
that there were present and participants in
that great battle two veteran divisions of the
Sixteenth Corps, under A. j. Smith Gen.
johnson says the Fourth snd Twenty-third
Corps were the nucleus of organization
around which rallied observation-disclosures re-
cruits drafted men, new regiments. These,
he says. were the men who gave Thomas his
wonderful victory; but where were A. Us
boys while all this powder was being burnt?
From the manner in which we have been
ignored by the General, our friends at home
might be led to the conclusion that we, as
an entire corps, were out booking
chickens and soft bread and getting ready
for hilarious time for the holidays while
the vets of the Fourth and Twenty-third
Corps, with the aforesaid ralliers, were
whipping Hood, saving Nashville and pre-
venting the Sixteenth Corps from being
captured.
But though Gen. johnson fails to tell it to
the country, Gen. Smith and his two vet

his best scouts informed him he had better
be cautious, as the veterans who had thrashed
Kirby Smith and Dick Taylor at Pleasant
Hill, Cane River, Marksyille Prairie, Yellow
Bayou, Lake Chicot, Tupelo, and other
places, stood between him and rations and
clothing sufficient for his ragged army. So
Hood changed his plan from an assault to a
siege.
