In 1890, when the Mckinley bill was

Answer to Comrade Marsh as to Gen. Hal
leck.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the
issue of Sept. 2, Comrade Edmund Marsh,
under the head of "Haleck's Advance on
Corinth," says: "The lesson at Shiloh had
sunk deep into the mind of the Commanding
General. From the extreme of rashness, he
had gone to the extreme of caution" etc.
am no apologist for Gen. Halleck, but am
at loss to know what Gen. Halleck had to
do with the battle of Shiloh. If we got
licked the first day at Shiloh this was not
the fault of Halleck or Grant; hence it is
nonsense to accuse Halleck of "raahness," :"
TOR if my comrade friend will read Grants
Memoirs he will learn that Gen. Grant
looked upon him as much too cautious.
We OF Gen. Pope's army joined Grants
forces before Corinth, April 30, 1882, and
occupied the left of the army, our operations
commencing at Hamburg Landing, on the
Tennessee River. We first attacked and
drove back Breckinridges Division, captur-
ing, on May 3, the town of Pennington
Miss, and Halleck then ordered US to
Spade! soldiers, spade!"
On the morning of May %, 1862, we stood
to arms ut 3 o'clock, ready to move on the
rebel works. but Gen. Halleck countermand-
eu Inc OTueT. we Dldi1eu udlieCk iOE Jn1S,
as but few days thereafter Beauregard
evacuated this stronghold of wooden guns
and q bowling camp Of "Johnnies."
Comrade Marsh says that the rebel
earthworks were only shallow trenches"
This may be true where my friend walked
over, but we of Paine's Division found the
earthworks very formidably built, and out
side was strong line of sharpened stakes;
hesidas trees were falipd and crossed each
other, the limbs pointed, so that an invading
force had more than shallow trenches" to
encounter.
The private soldier, whether in camp or
in civil life, can fight and win battles on
paper, but the commanding officer of an
army of $4,000 men had great RESPONSE

CHAMPION HILLS.
What a Comrade Saw on the Field after the
Battle.

Battle.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I will
throw rail on the campfire from the bat
tlefieId of Champion Hills Miss, and say
that the 10th Iowa lost 40 per cent.-336
men went into battle and 167 men were
killed and wounded.
Two hours after the battle it fell to my lot
to be on detail to bury the dead, and the
saddest sight that met my eyes was the
death of Serg't II. l.. Briggs. of Co. ID. He
was lying on his back, and the top of his
head was gone. Yet In this sad condition
the poor man was breathing quite strong,
only waiting for the end.
The next sad sight that met my eyes was
| where a Confederate line of infantry had
crossed a narrow road in the thick brush.
Apparently every man who had stood in the
road, to the number of nine, had been
swept from the face of the earth at one
volley. They lay side by side in as good
order az when standing; and, strange to say,
they all had fallen forward. This proved
that they were advancing.
They hadebeen armed with old-fashioned
muskets-the kind that kick backwards
like mule and forwards with ball and
buckshot. The guns were all loaded and
ready for business, with one exception.
When the rebel army had evacuated the
field they had taken the caps off and made
hOop-poles out of the old muskets by bang
ing them around trees. This gave the whole
outfit the appearance of being badly de-
moraliZed.
pion Hills and six rods south of the main
road and when the men were killed must
have been early in the morning, when the
battle first commenced.
Comrades, speak up, and tell US who it
was that did this mischief, and what Con-
federate regiment it was that had no time
for prayer.
During the last part of the battle l wit
messed most singular death. Comrads

born in yielding the field to the enemy.
We failed to keep up with our regiment on
the fallback. We stopped behind bank,
and were giving the rebs our best respects
as they advanced up to the line our regiment
had just deserted.
/ noticed that Gallagher and I were load
ing and taking aim at the same moment.
We were close together side by side, on our
knees. To my surprise Gallagher turned q
somersault, jumping very high in the air,
and coming down on his head. His gun
turned somersault in like manner, and
though sure the bayOnet was about to go
through me- but to my JOY it entered the
ground at my back between my legs. and

the steep hill like sawlog, some five or six

He bounded from tree to tree, with grOans

less time than it takes to write this / had
arisen from my bunk, packed my tent, and
was in line, ready for duty. After getting
! into line we advanced and drove the enemy
back about six OF eight rods. At this
movement a small detachment of rebels
came in on our left flank and forced US
| back to the place where our battery was
planted.
Supposing that the rest of the regiment
was TO stay with the battery and try 10 hold
our position, got behind a pile of rails and
began firing at the rebels. Suddenly l
looked up and saw the rebels pouring in on
our left flank again. / turned around and
saw cur men retreating on the double-quick.

of how the rebels used our boys who IN
fortunately fell into their bands as prisoners.
Naturally the thought of these prisoners
passed through my mind, and | was deter
mined, if possible, not to fall into their
hands. We kept retreatipg in this way for,
perhaps, three or four miles. The rebels,
instead of following Us, stopped to plunder
our camp, which accounts for our haltIng.
We began to reform our line, which took
us until about or o'clock in the afternoon.
Gen. Sheridan came riding along the line
encouraging US, and we replied by giving
him cheers.
Orders were given to forg ard march. We
had advanced but few rods when we met
the rebs on charge. The firing was so
steady that it made one continuous roar.
The rebels stood their ground for about three
minutes, then they broke. We followed on
the double-quick until we got back to the
camp we left in the morning. The cavalry
continued to chase the Johnnies for 30
miles up the Valley. Icould see the rebels
turn back as fast as our cavalry rode up
and halted them.

One day the south gate opened and an
