Days of War Recalled.

F. w. Brfnkman, 238 West Fourteenth
street, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "While attend
ing Memorial Day exercises met Corp1 A.
G. Tuthill, 18th Ill.,, an old comrade of
mine, and could hardly recognize in the
feeble old veteran the young man who 33
years ago marched through the swamps of
Alabama. Comrads Tuthill in his early
life followed railroading for livelihood.
In 1864 he had charge of the train con-
veying ammunition and supplies from Chi
cago to Cairo for the Union forces which
was attacked at Carbondale, ILL.,, by the
rebels, but was, through the ingenuity and
bravery of Tuthill, brought safely to its
destination.
"On another occasion, at Madison, Ala, the
18th Ill. was attacked by the Confederates,
under Col. Roddy, defeated, and Tuthill and
SO of his comrades taken prisoners. They
arrived at Meridian, Miss, where they were
detained some time and endured the pangs
of hunger. One day A. II. Palmer killed
and cooked an old stockade cat, which the
prisoners dev0ured ravenously.
"In December, 1864, CorpY Tuthill was
taken to Cahaba, where he was kept several
months He was taken to Jackson, where
he was exchanged. On May Is, 1865, he
was mustered out"

A "Nervy" Youngster."
FVnl. :,

During one of the naval engagements of
the late war sailor named John Davis per-
formed an act of bravery that has rarely
been equaled. While the battle was at it's
hight she'll entered the Valley City, Of
which ship Davis was Gunner's Mate, and
exploded on the berth-deck, setting it on
fire.
Capt Chaplin, the commander of the yes
sci, jumped down into the magazine and,
while directing his men to extinguish the
flames, passed up with his own hands the
loose cylinders of powder. The fireworks
on board became ignited. Rockets whizzed
and blue lights blazed up in the very midst
OF the ammunition. The shell-room caught
fire, and it seemed as if the Valley City
must be blown to pieces.
John Davis, approaching the danger, and
DESTROYS of doing all in his power to avert
1t, jumped upon an open barrel Of gun
powder and sat down on the head, covering
1t with his person as well as he could to
protect it from the showering sparks.
Capt. Chaplin, seeing him quietly seated
while everybody else was at work, ordered
him in peremptOry tones to get down and
help put out the fire"
The young gunner's mate stayed where
he was, and calmly replied:
Don't you see, sir, can't? For, if do,
the sparks will fall into the powder. If |
get down, Captain, we shall all go up!"
Notwithstanding the terrible danger, Capt.
Chaplin could not repress a smile, and
Dayis's heroic action was rewarded after the
battle by immediate promotion.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In No
vember, 1863, the 9th ILL., was ordered to
New Orleans. We had then been in the
field doing active service for about Is
months. The regiment was divided, some
guarding at the prison, others ut the Quar-
termaster and Commisssry Departments,
while two companies-A and G myself in
included were sent to the Provost-Mar-
shal's Office and guardhouse.
As Sergeant of the Guard, / got in the
habit of going to the market about midnight

then patroling the streets, and invariably
asked me to show my pass
One night, when there was no commits

me if had pass / told him it was none

made the trip in "a to 80 hours. We took but
one days rations. We boarded a gulf
steamer by way of Lake Ponchartrain. The
weather was stormy, and We were three
days making the trip. The boat had to
make some landings with supplies for differ
ent posts, got aground, and had to wait for
the next tide to float Us out. The Captain

Of course, an investigating party started
out, headed by the Captain. They were
going right into our quarters when they
were halted at the point Of the bayo-
net. The Captain gave me to understand
he would 90 where he pleased on his boat;
but when he looked in the barrels of two
cooked muskets he concluded it was hardly
the best policy.
When we neared the island the wind blew
so hard that the boat had to anchor out
about two miles from shore. The post sent
out longbOat for my men. While we
were running ashore our rudder broke, and
the boat swamped. Then it was every man
for himself; but al the water was shallow
and the wind blowing ashore we escaped

one night, surrounding his Headquarters,

already the boom of Mitchel's cannon could
be heard reyerberating down the river and
among the hills. All was confusion and
chaos. The conductor on the train on which
we were to 60 had evidently taken fright !;
at any rate, he had pulled out ahead of time,
and was already beyond the reach OF
Mitchel's guns. We were only too glad that
the train had left, though we made no out
ward show of our feelings. We hoped that
Gen. Mitchell would push across the river
and capture the town and thus release us.
We were returned to the dungeon for the
night. That was a night of the greatest
anxiety to u.s. as it was to the rebels of the
city. Mitchell could easily have captured
the place, had he only known its weakness.
The rebels had but small force, and were
prepared 10 leave on short notice. We
could hear the Federal shells bursting pro-
miscuously about, and we were certain that
early next morning we should hear the
Federal skirmish-line at work in the
suburbs of the town. What joyful music
that would have been to our ears
But, alas our great expectations were dis
appointed. The morning came, but no
clash of arms or sound of battle greeted
our ears. Bright and early we were again

OF Fishers Hill. Co. A, LIST N. Y. Dragons,

Cavalry Corps. We were marching or fight

day, having Early in our front and Mosby
in our flank and rear. It was dangerous to
straggle or dsmOunt and be left behind.
One night after we had gone into camp /
was detailed on the Headquarters guard.
A chum of Wilbur Brainard's had taken
his horse to water; so when Maj. Smith
ordered out fOraging party Immediately,
Brainard was told to take my animal. The
horse was stolen while the boys were out.
They came back to camp, and next morning
Brainard told me about it.
Then arose discussion as to who should
have Brainard's horse. He thought he was
not to blame for losing the horse, but that
it was one of the results of war, and should
take the consequences. We both realized
that if man was left without his horse he
could not keep up, and would be captured.
None Of the company officers wanted to
decide the question, as it seemed like de-
Gliding against the life Of one of us. But the
Major ordered that Brainard should 90
afoot. I saddled Brainard's horse and went
in the direction the foraging party had
taken, keeping sharp lookout for Mosby's
men.
When had gone about two miles from
camp met my own horse coming along
alone without halter. It did not seem to
me that could have been any moro pleased
to have met my brother. I went back.

ready, and went on our way rejoicing
