A ForagIng Story.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / wish to

of them must be alive, and l want to see
something in your valuable paper about the

came OF Maj. Honore de la Paturelle?
And that reminds me of going out with
forage party, with the Major in command, on
or about Oct 20, 1861. We were at that
time at Camp Sheridan, in the Shenandoah
Valley. We went II or Is miles out in the
country, taking men and teams sufficient to
bring in five or six loads. i was one Of the
flankers, OF guards When out six or eight
miles we came to a grist-mill. Some of the
boys obtained some -four, and the Major
took with US the miller and another man we
came across. lie said in answer to tneir in
quiry that he took them along to show Us
where we could get some nice hay.
After going considerable distance We
found what we wanted, and while some of
the boys were loading it ON the wagons
Others were busily engaged looking up honey,
small hogs and chickens. All of a sudden
there was commoton about the house.
The Major commenced riding rapidly,
shooting often and scolding the boys for dis
turblng the ladies, who had entered COM
plant. to him that the Yanks were stealing
their poultry. Soon afterward some of the
boys came up to the roai with q lot of fine
birds. We asked them: WHATS the matter
with the Major? Is he cr;ny?" They
said: 1.-The Major is all right. He is only
shooting the birds for US to pick up"
After loading our wagons we hastily re-
turned to camp. No casualties except the
tipping over our load of hay. Some of the
boys were sick next day after partaking of
our conscripted honey.-D. l.. BECKwITH,

of the fight, which think is misleading, to
say the least. This account says that Col
Duval had no arti lery. My recollection is
he had two six-gun batteries, called at that

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I saw q
letter written by Major of the 18th Pa Cav.
He says e the Second Brigade was in the
advance when Raleigh, N. c. was taken" In
the first place the Second Brigade was not in
the advance that morning. 1t was the First
Brigade, commanded by Brevet-CoL Thomas
j. Jordan, former Colonel of the 9th Pa.
Cav. The cOmrade says the 18th was the
first regiment in. There was no fight that
morning to go in to Raleigh. The Mayor of
the city came out to Gen. Fitzpatrick s
Headquarters and surrendered the city. and
the Confederates marched right through,
followed by the First Brigade, and Old
Glory was h0isted by one of the Kentucky
regiments.
Gen. Kilpatrick's command, after it left
camp, marched towards Raleigh, then turned
to the right on big road. just at the turn we
met the colored troops of Gen. Terry's COM
mand. They halted and let our cavalry go by
Then we marched about 200 or 800 yards

Some of the boys of Co. f, 9th Pa. Cav. !,
from Middletown, Pa, commenced to yell
out the names of some of their townsmen of

is that?" ''The 9th Pa. Cav" 'Giye
three cheers, boys" cried he.
The rebels made little stand at Morris's
Ravine, and Gen. Fitzpatrick ordered up two
pieces of artillery, and only one shot was
fired at the rail barricades across the road
That shot was fired by John Hess, detailed
from Co. A, 9th Pa. Cav
There was no more fighting after that. The
next morning we got word that Lee had
