OF Such Heroes weps6ngade

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the
latter part of April, 1862, l was put in charge
of 100 sick and htly-wOunded men on the
steamer Ohio Belle, lying in the Tennessee
River at Pittsburg Landing The cooking
apparatus was so defective that it was i'm
possible to furnish all with proper food.
On making my first rounds of visits came
across a little feeble fellow weighing not
more than 80 pounds, who told me his name
was John Davis Schoolcraft found him SO
sick and feeble that l said to him that in
few days sanitary steamer would go down
the river, and that l would send him to one
OF the hospitals on the Ohio River. where he
would have good care and plenty of good
food. passed on, examining other patients,

went back to him and made every effort
to assua ye his grief. Finally he turned to
me, as he had concealed his face, and said
Il don't want to go North. l don't want
to go home. l don't want to go to any
hospital All / ask of you is to get ME so

No care was spared for the little fellow
but in q few days he died. He was from

Such was the character of the soldiers
whom Grant commanded at Shiloh, and who
marched with Sherman to the sea. No
wonder Joe Johnston said to Gen. Cox inn
meniately after his surrender, that no such
army had existed since Julius Cesar. l

| and took part in the terrible artillery duel,
also in repelling Pickett's charge
| On the night of May 3, 1864. we took up
our march with the rest of the Second CORPS
for the battle of the Wilderness. We crossed
the Rapidan River on pontoon bridges, and
marched via Charlottesville to the Wilder
ness, where the battle was in progress; but,
on account OF thick woods and the nature of
the ground, we were not engaged. as il was
impossible to manuver the battery in such a
dense thicket.
On May we marched to the left with the
rest of the troops about four miles. and went
into position and had pretty sharp artillery
hight, In which we silenced the enemy's bat
terry.
On May II. at 8 a. M, we marched to the
left about five miles, and at break of day ad-
vanced with Barlow's and Gibbonss, Motts IS
| and Birneys Divisions as they charged the
enemy's works mt the Bloody Angle at Spott-
syivanla Courthouse, and at once became
holly engaged with the enemy at close canis-
ter range.
In few moments, fearing in the smoke
| and fog we might injure our own men,
asked permission of Gen. Hancock to advance
the battery to the extreme front, which was
granted. Reaching that position, we at once
engaged the enemy, much of the time not 30
rods away.
Some of the artillery of the corps not hav-
ing reported. Gen. Hancock sent staff Off
Ger to lie asking if could work some of the
- guns we had captured from the enemy
informed him / could if he would give me
some infantry to take the place of the drivers
and AID In bringing up ammunition.
lie readily gave US all the men we wanted
and from then on we fought not only with
our own six guns, but also nine of the
enemys, using the enemy's ammunition
1t seemed to madden the enemy to despera-
tlon to be thus slaughtered by their own guns
and ammunition. Charge after charge was
made by the enemy to retake the position and
guns they had lost but our men stood as
firm as rock determined to hold the position
or die IN the attempt. Thus the battle was
fought from A O'Clock a. M, May II, to 3
o'clock a. m, May 13 when the enemy relin-
pushed the attempt to retake the position
and fell back for new line in the rear.
OF the infantry who helped work the guns
several were killed and wounded. and / re-
gret that | am unable TO give names or reei-

DRIVING THE ENEMY.
One of Sheridan's Troopers Tells of Move

ments in Virginia.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE have often
been asked to write what | remembered OF
Sheridan's Trevilian raid, through White
House Landing, Va, Jones's Bridge, Charles
City Courthouse, and other points
Our regiment the 25th n. Y Cav. was
sent to White House, where we were Joined
by, as | remember, the 18th Ohio Cav, 9Th
Pa. and Sd n. J. l.. A., a colored regiment,
and others that do not remember.
We were commanded to help guard large
train of about 900 wagons, and Government
stores. We were placed on picket the second
day. We relieved the 9th Pa. which had
just returned from their State after re-en-
listing. We were relieved by the colored
regiment which had just come from Con-
necticut.
1t was on June 81, 1864, that we had re-
turned to camp for rest just inside of our
breastworks and had fixed for good nights
rest, when in came Hank Shaw, Co. C., say
ing:
The Johnnies are coming"
We laughed at him. We thought it was
joke. mo, boys, it's no joke, for the
Johnnies have captured Bill Campbell, Joe
Clark and some others"
Next morning rebel brigade came down
on us, driving our colored picket in. This
was their first fight. We were placed in the
rifle pits supporting the Sd n. J. battery,
which did good work, and sent shot into
the Johnnies' caisson and blew it up
The fight was kept up until O'Clock D. M.
when Sheridan came in and reinforced us.
Orders were received to break up the depot
at White House Landing, and marching
orders were given for every thing to move to-
ward the front, driving the enemy before US.
Now, if any of the readers were there they
will remember it was the hottest Summer
during the war. We had marched but half
a day, fighting at most every point; no water
to be had; hot sand, ankle deep; comrades
falling by the roadside, overcome by heat
1t was sight to see the wounded hauled,
