EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: There = a
| controversy relative to the battle of Corinth,
Miss, Oct. 3 and 4, 1862. was in that bat
tie bath days, and then knew the field well.
What we desire to settle is. on the part OF
the Confederates, as TO who led that memor-
able charge against Fort Robinett. contend
that one Col. Rogers, of Georgia, volunteered
| TO lead full brigade Of Confederate soldiers
and capture The fort. In the main they were
successful, holding Fort Robinett about 80
seconds
Regers's command was almost cleaned out,
and many hundred lay around the fort dead.
Col Rogers was killed, and lay on the east
side of the fort over "a hours before we
buried him. This delay was for the purpose
of communicating with the Confederates as
TO what disposition should be made of the
body, etc. b
The 47th H., sth Wis, 9Th Mimi, 18th

right of the fort. The 9Th Wis carried an

FIGHTING THEM OVER
What the Veterans Have to Say
About Their Campaigns.
In FRONT OF PETERSBURG.

Comrade Clarence Wilson Discusses Mooted
Points.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / was glad
to see something from the 4Sth Pa. / refer
to Comrade Frederici's letter of June 23,
touching ON the struggle in front OF Peters
burg, July II, 1864. He thinks there were
only two field-guns captured. i stated in a
former letter l thought there was battery
captured Since then comrade called my
attention to Gen. Porter's article in the
Ceatury Magazine, entitled Campaigning
with Grant," April, 1897, page 800. He
says:
"Burnside's troops surprised the enemy at
daybreak, June IL, 1864, making gallant
charge upon his strong works, capturing his
intrenchments, swept his line for more than a
mile, took 600 prisoners, stand Of colors,
four eld-pieces and / 500 stand of small
arms"
/ should like to hear from Comrade
Spencer 179th n. Y, regarding the number
of pieces taken.
Comrade Frederici thinks the charge made
by the Ninth Corps at that time was made
near the Avery house. / am under the i'm
preston it took place near the Hare house
(the right of the line), in the vicinity OF
where Fort Stedman was afterwards built.
Thirty-four years have passed away since
those eventful scenes, and / know it is Diff
cult to recall all of the little minor matters.
think the Avery house was pretty well
down to the left of the line, nearly opposite
the rebel Fort Malone, dubbed by our boys
Fort He'll; we all considered it a hot spot, at
least.
Comrade Frederici thinks Comrade Smith,
Tooth Pa, and are both mistaken regarding
a Sd Md being in the Ninth Corps. He
says he thinks we mean the I'd Md, and
kindly requests us to give him information
regarding it.
There was ID Md. in the Second Divis-
ion, Second Brigade. In my division, the
First there was Sd Md, in the Second
Brigade. / think it joined the Ninth at
Alexandria, Va, April. 1854.
Comrade Frederici's regiment, the 48th
Pa, did gallant service throughout its long
career with the Ninth Corps organization,
and especially in front of Petersburg Col.
Pleasants ran and engineered the mine that
exploded the Confederate fort, July 30, 1864
/ remember going down to the left of my
regiments position to see them excayate,

red Virginia clay did not add to their ap-
pearance.-CLAREYCE WILSON, Co. E, I'd

A Veterans Opinion.

T. ]. McGrath, National Military Home,
O., writes: "The proposition to stand
shoulder to shoulder and ignore all cleo
tions is very plausible, and would un-
carried out. But | think it impossible to
get all the soldiers to join. There are a
large number of Union soldiers who are
getting their Just dues, and also number
who are gett ng more than they deserve,
besides being provided for in the different
military homes. Does veteran think for
a moment that he could influence this
class from voting? Then, how many are
there receiving s12 under the new law, who
are satisfied? These men having re-
ceived all they expected from the Govern
ment, all the influence the veterans could
bring to bear would not keep them from
the polls. Like many others who are re-
ceiving very small pensions or none at
all, had hopes that Congress would give
us service pension before it adjourned" 4"
