Thousands of prisoners were brought in,
practically abandoned by their captOrs-
actl lilly dumped anywhere-and permit
ted to wander into our lines. That is the
way we understood it, but possibly Off
cially it was called an exchange.
We had ample opportunity TO see this
mass of suffering humanity, and some of
the 3D. n. II. assisted in the temporary
care Of these unfortunate thousands.
They were shipped North as rapidly as
possible. Among the number were sew
eral of our own regiment. The brigade
was moved back to Wilmington on March

city. Lieut.=Eoi. Randlett was soon after
appointed Provost Marshal of the city,

Trckey, and soon afterwaTd Capt. Ed

The U. S. Marine Hospital was con-
ver,ed into a soldier hospital, and our
Sur Seon-Dr. Kimball-was put in charge,
having for his C.lief Steward our own
Hospital Steward Scovell. The duties TO
which the sgment was assigned were
various, such as provost, railroad, and
other special duties. Capt. Ackeman
was appointed Assistant Provost Marshal
Of the city.
Mai. Trickey continued in command of
the regiment until the arrival of Col.
Bedel on April IL, and the latter's health
being poor the Major remained practically
in command. Tle news of the fall OF

3 o'clock, the attacking force on land and
the warships in readiness, every steam

horrid but defiant shrieks, and the ball
opened. Prior TO this there had been

Killed at AopomattoX.

Editor National Tribune: Referring to
the communication of Fl. W. Day in The
National Tribune of April 20, in regard to
Union officer, supposed to be Major,
killed at AppomattOx, and said to be
buried with number of Confederate dead
in the field west of the town, | suggest
that there is a mistake. A number OF
men were killed or mOrtally wounded near
the village the morning of April and the
evening before. Among these were at
least three officers, but we have no doubt
that the bodies were properly cared for.
memorandum of the names of these
officers is not accessible at this moment,
but one was Major of a New York regi-
ment of mounted infantry. He was killed
in leading a gallant dash against the
enemy the evening of the Sth in the road
just east of the Courthouse, near great

North. Lieut.. Clark, of the 1S5th N. T.,
was killed on the skirmish- line the 9th,

regiment was mOrtally wounded the same
morning. II ] am not mistaken staff
officer was killed, but | cannot recall
name or rank. This makes at most, four
commissioned officers killed, and it is not
probable that one of these was buried in
an unmarked grave.
Allow me to present again the question
which has already been before the readers
of The National Tribune: Who was the
young cavalryman killed near the village,
by the Lynchburg road, after the flag of
truce came in' Lieut.-COl. J. B. Pattee,
of the 190th Pa, mentions him in his re-
port The writer was witness of the in
cident He probably belonged with the
cavalry relieved by the advance of Pat
tees infantry command. The infantry
passed through the cavalry line, then
warmly engaged, and made spirited at
tack. This young man went with them
to witness their fight, and so lost his life,

GEN. LAWTON'S VIEWS.
Compares Civil War Conditions With Those in the Philip
pines.

Mai.-Gen. II. W. Lawton, of the United
States Army, in the Philippines, replying
to a cOngratulatOry letter written him by
an old cOmrade of the war of the rebellion,
living at Wabash, Ind, makes cOmpa ri
son of the service in the conflict with the
FilipinOs and that of the civil war. He
says:
"Your very kind letter was received,
and | cannot tell you how much | ap-
preciated it, There is nothing in the
world that can be done, no reward that
can be given me, that | appreciate one
half so much as / do the approval of my
old friends in the war of the rebellion. AS
you say, they are tOlerably qualified to
Judge, and feel that with their approval
| can claim some right to consideration.
You ask me to give comparison OF the
two wars. There is no comparison to be
made The war of the rebellion was one
of the greatest conflicts the world has
ever known; the war with Spain is prob
ably one of the least, SO far as actual
operations are concerned, that have ever
been fought but the results are greater,
perhaps, than any war we have ever had.
The fighting qualities OF the men are the
same. The American soldier is one with
courage, nerve, ana grit. ne mas Deen
lust the same at all times, as he always
will be, a courageous and brave soldier.
The exposure of our campaign for few
days was very trying, but it was nothing
to compare in time nor conditions to our
war We had a deadly climate to con-
tend with; worse, in that respect, than
anything we had to contend with in our
war. The improvement in firearms, OF
course, cannot be matter of comparison.
Our ratiOns were better than anything we
ever had, or believed it possible for an
army to have, in our war. 1t is true that
from few days we were short, but that was +,
for lack of transportation, and then we
trratI
ration, and that portion more than our
soldiers had at the best during the civil
war. l want to thank you for your kind
and flattering expressions, and want to
say to you that wish you would take the |
trouble to thank all the old soldiers who
have been good enough to express their
satisfaction and approval of my work. and
say to them, as have said to you, there |
IS nothing that makes me feel as proud or
rs happy as their good opinion"

charged, and got through with no addi-
tional loss. Riding at rapid gait till
about 3 O'Clock next morning, we arrived
at the ChattahOOchee, many miles south
of where we had been trying to strike it
the night before, crossing on an old flat
boat, swimming the hOrses-a slow
process.
While lying mile or more back from
the river, resting, feeling we were quite
safe, as the enemy could be kept from
crossing the river very easily, stray
mimic came singing leisurely along, strik-
ing Jack ParsOn, of our regiment, and
killing him instantly. He was probably
the last man killed on that great raid, as
we had no more fighting to speak of.
Taking it quite leisurely, we got back to
Marietta some three days later, badly
used up in every way. Our regiment re-
ported loss Of 81 men on that raid.
