Indiana Mineral Springs, lad, April IL
Especial correspondence -Warlike dis

upageneral discussion among half SCORE of
gentlemen in q corner of the smoking room
OF the Indiana Mineral Springs Hotel today.
Several veterans of the civil war who have
been regaining health by means of the
Megno Mud Baths and Lithia Water here
took q lively interest in the discussion.
Many interesting stories Of the late con-
fiict were told.
''In the campaign before Richmond In
the last months Of the war;" said Capt H.

guilty of distortion of an order that had
the battle which 1t caused been defeat for
us, would have had sad results for me;
fortunately the falsehood told rescued us
from perilous position and We won
victory"
Capt. Coles regiment was the famous
First Maine Cavalry which by special
order Of the War Department has seven
more battles on its colors than any other
army. The First Maine also has the record
of having turned more of it's troopers into
preachers at the close of hostilities than
any other regiment Of the northern army,
while several of the men who have been
governors of the Pine Tree state since 1855
were at the front with the First Maine.
But Ii was while he was on the staff of Gen.
Chas. +. Smith, who commanded q brigade
of the Second Cavalry corps. the head of
which was Gen. ID. McGregg, one of the
best cavalry captains in the north OF south
