Yankee Trick Played at New Hope Church,
From Which tho Eebs Suffered.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While ut
New Hope Church, Ca, our lines vera adj
vanced until ths Second Brigade of the First
Division, Fifteenth Corps, had advanced and
intrcnched, By actual count afterwards, to
within 100 steps of the rebel works. The
only guard duty we did was to make de-
tail of three men from each company as
camp-guard at night. with instructions to
watch very carefully, lest the rebels should
surprise us while il was dark.
We could plainly see the Confederate
works during the day, and no Rian dare
raise his head above the works lest it be-
came a target for watehful sharpshootors
Ccl Walcutt, of the 46lh Ohio, on June A
or 5, 1861, thought to give the rebs a sur
prise He arranged with the other regi-
me- tai commanders for their regiments TO
give the accustomed Yankee ell as the
bugles sounded the charge. The Johnnies

| sound Of the bugle and the yelling Of the
rema nder OF the brigade.
All was ready tie busle sound the
charge The 10th Ohio rose behind heir
works, gave the JUhnuies seven Yoilsys and
tel down again wi,ao6t the loss OF a man.
The JoauuIes did not see the point uEiil
the Onioaus had killed and wounded many
! OF them. The rebels evacuated this part Of
the line tEas evening, and the writer OF this
went over inside Of the works and saw
many old hats with buuet-holes through
them, and many other marks of death.
The rebels, when they saw the trick that
the 10th OHIO had played on them heaped
all kinds OF sLur5 on the men of the 10th
Ohio. l viii give few of the remarks; We
could plainly faik across from line to line.
You greeH-eyed Yankees, that's another
OF your Yankee nutmeg tricks" shouted
one Johnny.
One OF the boys of the 10th called over:
Say, Johnny, how many of you are there
over there?"
tai, lean, lank reb yelled back:
Well, guess there's enough for another
killin'."
Say, YaDk, what kind of guns have you
all got over there?" asked another
Wind 'em mp on Saturday night and
| they run all week"
What are you-aIl down here sighting
we'uns? We-aIl amt mad at yOU-all," was
| a call that brought a laugh
The 18th Ohio fought all along this line.
The regiment, on account Of their superior
arms, held the key at Dallas Hill in single
line on May 2S, when the Jobunies charged,
three lines deep, defending their own regi-
mental front, and only by the CALLING cross
fire saved the frons Of the 9th and 1O0,h
Ind when the lines came very nearly being
broken.
The 18th Ohio was in every battle fought
in which Gen. Sherman commanded, be-
ginning at Shiloh. Why don. You wake

III. was organized 10 he Fall Of 1861 as
Ottawa H., by ". H. W Cushm1n. a
banker Of that city. and lie became the first
Colonel Of the regiment, remaining with his
command until about the month OF July,
1862 when he left Us and returned TO his
business in Illinois BIt rs I am not going
to write the history Of the regiment nor Of
the officers, | shall confne myself principally
to the regiment az / saw it.
We had our share at first Of hObos and
worthless men that were soon left behind,
weeded out, as it IS called, and after the first
six months We had as good lot Of men as
those On Our right or left. The most Of our
first officers dropped off one at a time, until
our Sergeants and CorporaIs became the
sturdy officers of the regiment. II was that
class of men that johnny Rcb encountered
at Corinth, Hatchie, ' Vlelsburg, Jackson, and
Atlanta.
don't propose TO laud this regiment to
the skies and call it the Bloody 53i," or
the Illinois Tigers" or any other grand
name. ] viii merely say it was a good,
average lot Of men, and after the first year
OF their service they could steal their share
OF sweet potatoes, and digest them, too; and
if there was regiment in the field that
could find more rails than We could it was
only the Sd Iowa.
/ well remember that regiment in early
days rs they would pass US on the march
with flags flying and a splendid drum corps,
and well do l remember the third year OF
their service, when they would start out in
the morning with about 300 men ont of their
1000, with one filer, and Homer Darrow, the
only drummer left of drum corps of 20.
Tie SD III. had q very good drum corps,
as far as music and noise were concerned.
Were they tough Well, l believe that
every soldier who served his four years or
more was full OF viciOusne3s. 1t was the
vicious soldier who did the fighting, and
ofttimes saved the day. 1t was my vicious
ness that saved Surg Weleh's whisky at
Atlanta. If my memory series NE right,
he never saw it afterwards It was I, with
my kind and noble heart, who volunteered
to pack his mess-chest While at this brave,
unselfsh work, with shot, she'll, and lead
falling within two miles of me, my left optic
sighted a canteen in the northwest corner Of
the aforesaid mess chest. l dropped my
empty caDteen in the twice-aforesaid mess
chest and gracefully making a flank

authority was an outrage on me, Tor
Mr.. Stanton had failed to communicate
to me in advance, as was his duty, the
purpose of the Administration to limit
our negotiations to purely military mat
ters; but, on the contrary, at Savannah
he had authorized me TO control all
matters, cirjI and military.
BY this bulletin, he implied that |
had previously been furnished with a
copy of his dispatch of March 8 to
Gen. Grant, which was not so; and he
gave warrant to the impression, which
was sown broadcast, that | might be
bribed by bankers gold to permit Davis
to escape. Under the influence of this,
| wrote Gen. Grant the following
letter of April %, which has been pub
lished in the Proceedings Of the Com
mittee OH the Conduct of the War

Stanton as a personal and official insult,
which afterward publicly resented.

The Innocent Little Sister.

The other day Detroit youth who had
come home from college for vacation took
his younger sister out to see baseball
game. She is a quiet, deInufe little lass,
with blue eyes and q timid manner, and
she slipped into her seat n the grand stand
as staidly as if she were entering the fam
lily pew at church.
AS the game progressed he kindly under
took to explain to her something about it's
points, so she would understand at least a
little about it.
Now, the man is about to throw the
ball. he said. fHe is called the pitcher.
The man with the stick in his hand is The
batter He will try TO hit the bail, and if
he does he will run to that little bag,
| which is called base
The young mans sister seemed TO be
| quite interested, and listened attentieely TO
his explanation.
Presently somebody hit out two baggel
7 that went clear through the shortstop and
lit out for first like wild turkey.
Now he said, .if the fielder throws tn
| ball to the man on the bag before

a Practical Test.

Dom Pedro, the last Emperor of Brazil,
was a man OF a practical turn OF mind, as
the following story told of him by a
Spanish newspaper well illustrates
He once gave an audience to young en-
pHance for stopping railway engines. Ths
Emperor was pleased with the idea, but
wished to put it to a practical test.
Day after tomorrow" said he, "hav5
your engine ready. We viii have it
coupled To my saloon-cs- and start When
going at full speed 1 VIII give the signal
to stop, and then We shall see how your
invention works"
at the appointed time all was In readI-
ness. The Emperor entered his sarriage
the young inventor mounted his engine.
and ON they sped for several miles as fast
as they could CO. There came no signal
and the engineer began to fear that ths
Emperor had fallen asleep.
Suddenly the engine came TO a sharp
curve around the edge OF cliff, when, to
his horror, on the track directly ahead OF
them the engineer saw huge hoIder
He had Just sufficient presence of mind to
turn the crank OF his brake and pun the en-
eine up within a couple OF yards OF the fat al
block
Here the Emperor put his head out Of his
car window. and demanded TO know the
cause OF thesuddsn stoppage- The engineer
pointed 10 the rock. and much to his sur
prise, Dom Pedro began to laugh
Push it On one side and go on" BE said
| calmly.
The engineer obeyed, and. kicking the
| stone, was still further astonished TO see 1t
| crumble into dust before him.
/ IT was nothing more nor less than a block
! OF starch which the Emperor had had rnads
and placed on the rails the night before
