EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In The
American Conflict" the writer In his mar
rative of Pea Ridge does not tell much of the
work of Cars Division. On that part OF
the field reaching from ElkhOrn Tavern east
along road to and past the Clemens House,
Carr's Division, of two brigades, commanded
respectively by Col. G. NJ. Dodge, 4th Iowa,
and VIM Vandever, 9th Iowa, the Dubuque
battery Capt Hayden), and the 1st Iowa
battery Capt. David, fought all day Of the
7th
"My division :" says Col Carr, consisting
of $500 men all told, fought all day against
Prices whole command, consisting of Slack's,
Frost's Liddle's Rains's and Parsons's Bri-
gades, in all about 10000 electives, the
flower of the rebel army"
Gen. Curtis in his report says: "COl. Carr
began the battle at EikhOrn, and was soon
under brisk fire. The fire increased rapidly
on the right, soon extending to the center.
Col. Carr sent for reinfOrcements, but could
only send word to him to persevere. He did
persevere and the sad havoc in the 9th and
4th Iowa showed the nature of that persever-
ance. These two regiments won lmperish-
able honors."
Col. Carr SAYS: "Col. Vandever ordered
his infantry forward, when terrible conflict
ensued, our men driving them back to the
foot of the hill AS our wounded were be
ing carried back they would cheer for the
Union. / sent word to Col. Dodge to draw

mauga one of Rosecrans' staff reported to him
that Gen. Reynolds's left rested . in the air, j."
when . Rosey " sent Gen. Wood an order to
close up on Reynolds. 1t appears that all
was going right until that report went in
about Reynolds. Wood moved his division
out, and left gap. Was that staff officer
blameless? Why was his name not men
toned, as it finally appeared that the report
was false? 1t appears to me that = ROsey -
was misinformed as to where Wood was, az
he undoubtedly was not the one to close on

300-pound explosive charge at the Moro,

vent the garrison, II any is left, from get

generally about 2 900 yards. As the power
used is compressed air, and gives no fash,
the location cannot be readily fixed by

that the force of the explosion could be
plainly felt on board OF his vessel, half n

Cubans, regarding the sparsely settled

EDIToR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Blakeney tells of deed of heroism performed
by Dan McCook's Brigade in capturing a
rebel battery at Jonesboro That was a gal
liant feat but not to be classed with the
heroic charge of the brigade that captured
Comrade Blakeney's brigade at Chlcka-

He must bear in mind that the rebel hri-
gade defending the battery at Jonesboro had
been depleted and discouraged by = Hoods

gade knew not the word defeat Then, too,
he must remember that his brigade when
taken in was fresh and strong, of five regi-
| ments, which had lost but 10 men killed and

mated in the fight.
