EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue Of April %, R. b. Wilson, Co. f, 10Th
Ohio, assumes that the 18th and 18th Ohio,
of the Kanawha Division, were the only
troops opposing Jackson's Corps at the time
it moved around Pope's army and occupied
the old dirt works at Bull Run in August,
1862. His article carried me back to Har-
rison's Landing, Va, then forward to an in
PRODUCTION to Jackson's men on the old Bull
Run field.
cannot give the exact day,-the records
and history will show it,-but toward the
last of August, 1862, the First N. ]. Brigade,
of the First Division, Sixth Corps, broke
camp at Harrison's Landing, marched to
Yorktown, embarked ON boats for Alex
andria, and was there transferred to box cars
and forwarded by rail to Bull Run, arriving
early one forenoon.
Just at that time there was no music in
the air, no visible evidence of troops in the
vicinity. There were woods on each side of
the track where the train stopped. The
brigade marched forward to the open ground,
formed line-ofbattle, and advanced, there
being no enemy in sight, except some cav
airy to the left-oblique, skirting the timber.
PRESENTLY however, as the line advanced,
there came out Of the stiffness in it's front
| volleys of musketry and missiles of shot and
shell.
Seeing that We were in "pocket," as it
were, Gen Taylor gave the command: Right
about-face." Although falling back under
heavy fire the line remained intact, and the
! cavalry of the enemy made no hostile demon

We were informed at the time that the
troops in our front were Jackson's Corps

Her manseryant had run away and was
serving with our negro troops, and he hso

who was his wife. The woman complained
that she had not had her hair combed for q

The Captain WAS long Oh the latter, and
proceeded at once in his suaye, earnest way,
and advised her settle up with him, rs he
still persisted in coming back home occas-
iODally, the settlement to include himself,
the hair dresser, and the mule they hal
taken, for the Captain assured her there was
no knowing when the negroes would own
the country.
"This appeared very ridiculous to us all
at that time, for who would have thought
then that within our lifetime many of these
colored troops would be sugar kings and

those privates in the 1st In. was last Fall on

Fighting Morgan's Raiders.
Geo. W. Miller, Co. G., 9Th Ind. Cav, Sum-
mitville, Ind, writes: saw IN your paper
an article from Capt X. e. Rankin, Co. Il,
7th Ohio Cav, in reference to the capture OF
John Morgan. The 9TH Ind. Cav. started
after Morgan from Glasgow, KY, July z,
1868, thence to ScOitsville, TO Tompkinsville.
Leaving there the 4th OF July the regI-
ment marched through southern and central
Kentucky to Litchfield; thence to Louisville,
whence it was transported up the Ohio to
Portsmouth. 1t made a rapid march up the
river road to Burlington Island, where on the
10Th of July it met Morgan's forces. 1t
drove them from the river and adjacent hills,
killing and capturing 300, including Gen.
Bazel Duke, and also captured five pieces OF

PICKET SHOTS
From Alert Comrades Along
the Whole Line.

l.. w. Putnam, Co. III, 50th n. Y. Eng,
| Adrian, Mo-, writes: In looking over your
issue of April 90, was pleased to hear from
one of the survivors of the 7th Mich, who
| took part in crossing the Rappahannock and
dlslodglng the Confederates from the city OF
Fredericksburg. It was feat to be long
remembered by all who participated.
But am panied that the comrade should
forget the actions of others. He says that
about o'clock in the afternoon the signal
was given for the regiment to cross. 1t was
the understanding that the 50th N. Y. wonld
be in place to man the boats, but for some
| reason this regiment was not present
"On this memorable December day, 1862
after fruitless attempt to lay the poutoon
bridge and having been driven from our
work by sharpshooters on the opposite bank,
| killing some, wounding others-myself
having the privilege of stopping rebel
bullet-we were in line back on the nights,
when an officer rode up and inquired for the
officer in command. Col. Spaulding came
forward, and this officer made the announce
ment that the 7th Mich. had volunteered to
cross the river, if the boys Of the 50th N. Y.
would man the boats.
ibis was agreed to, and at the signal a
rush was made for the river, each squad to
boat, which was soon filled by the 7th
Mich; so my squad carried over three boat
loads, and the program was carried out as
the comrade describes. Yes, sir, Comrade
Herring, the 5Oth N. Y was there, and per-
formed its duty to man."
The Famous Apple Tree"
L. c. Pace, 11th Mo. Cav, Lincoln, Neb.,
reproduces Grants statement about the
famous "apple tree" as follows: Before
stating what took place between Gen. Lee
and myself, will give all there is of the
story OF the famous apple tree Wars pro-
duce many stories of fiction, some of which
are told until they are believed to be true.
The war of the rebellion was no exception
to this rule. and the story of the apple tree
is one of those fctions based on slight
foundation Of fact.
"As l have said, there was an apple orch
ard on the side of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces Running diagonally up
the hill was wagon road, which at one
point ran very near one OF the trees, SO that
the wheels Of vehicles had, On that side, cut
embankment. Gen. Babcock, of my staff
reported to Inc that when he first met Gen.
Lee he was sitting upon this embankment
resting against the tree. The story had no
other foundation than that. Like many
other stories, it would be very good if it was
only true"

A Peculiar Grceting.-The sons
of the " Flowery Kingdom greet each other
with the query, How's your liver?" At
first, this sounds very funny to our ears, but
on reflection, we find that it expresses the
same sentiment as our "How do you do"
only in different form. The Chinese were at
one time the most advanced race of people
on earth. We Know the use of gunpowder,
the art of printing, dying, painting on porce-
lain, and many other arts and sciences were
fiourising among them when the Occident
was still resting in b3rbaric slumber. Among
this race of people there also many eminent
scholars in medicine and anatomy, who fully
realized the important functions of the liver
and that the general health of the body de-
ponds on the normal condition of that organ.
Mrs. Catharine Abuhl, of New Conversion,
Ohio, has also experienced this. The good
lady writes: about two years ago | was

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some are
for the Per Diem rates, as they think the
long-term soldiers endured more hardships,
and should have more than those who
served shorter terms. Now, distinctly re-
member the 90-days men, and / am not in
favor of those men coming in equally with
the other soldiers, as / think they were
mostly single men aud endured little or no
hardships, and were paid at that time all
they could have earned elsewhere.
also distinctly remember a man drafted
for nine months, who left his wife, in feeble
health, with several small children to look
after as best she could. While he was tread
ing his wearisOme march she was treading
her pathway to the skies. He came home
to find his little infant and children scat
tered on the charities of a. cold world.
