Guns at charlottesville.

J. T. James, Co. c, 4th U. s. Art, Union,
Kan, writes: Il find that my little inquiry
about the saving of those guns at Chancellors-
vile has brought out great many claimants
for the honor. Now, some of the comrades
are certainly mistaken. One says it was
Kirby's battery that was saved, and by the
14Sth Pa, commanded by Col. James A.
Beaver Col. Beaver writes me that he was
wounded early in the action, and moved to
the opposite side of the river, and that he
thinks it was saved by the 10th Pa. / saw
the statement of Gen. st. Clair Mulholland,
and COrp'l Lebroke. They agree that the
infantry regiment formerly referred to was
the 10th Pa, and that the guns belonged to
the 9Th Me- battery. | am satisfied the two
last named comrades are right. III my
memory serves ME right those guns were the
12-pound Napoleon brass guns with handles.
There was someone else who had hand
in taking those guns from the field. Does
any cOmrade remember a eaisson that was
only few rods from the 9TH Me. battery?
Does Gen. Mulholland remember any man
calling on him tor detail of two to mount
two teams to run q caissOn out of the dilemma
and that those two men were away from their
command for several days? DOES Corp1
LebrOke remember of a Sergeant of his bat
terry coming to that caiSson and getting one
of their guns after it was inside of the line,
near the river? Who were the two men that
mounted the teams? The caisson belonged
to Co. c, 4th U. S. Art"
