Only Went Back When Ordered.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l would ask
comrade McNeal how many men the 18th Mo.
and the Add Ohio lost. Every regiment did
its duty manfnlly. The rebels were whipped
and badly whipped, and as for who did the
hardest fighting, take it the regiments that
lost the most men.
saw an article about two years ago from
comrade Of the 18th Mo. He thought the
ODD Ohio got too much praise; that the 18th
Mo. should have some praise, too. So it
should, and SO should all regiments and artil
lerymen there. After two desperate charges
the rebels were repulsed with great slaughter.
FIfty-fhree per cent. OF the 63d Ohio was
down, killed or wounded, and it being be-
lieyed the rebels would come again, it was
ordered back, and the 18th Mo. went forward
IN It's place. That was when the 63d Ohio
broke and passed over the 18th Mo. The
63d Ohio never did go back unless it was
ordered back. and that was only twice in
ITS tour years OF hard service.-SAMUEI,

WOULD TRY IT, ANYHOW.
How Co. Il, 68th Ohio. Lost the Honor
Capturin: Fort DOnelson.

How Co. II, 68th Ohio. Lost tho Honor OF
Capturing Fort DoneIson.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Co. B, 6sth
Ohio. was commanded by noble officer,
Capt. s. Sprague. The Captain became very
impatient at what appeared to MIN to be the
slow work Of the gunboats in silencing the
rebel fort, and to Col. Steadman, then in
command Of the 6Sth, he entered complaint,
and asked permission to take his company
with him and move on the enemy's works. as
he believed he could capture the 'whole
shooting match"
Steadman refused the request upon the
ground that if Grant and entire army, with
the aid of the gunboats, were enable to take
the fort it was his 1.-THE Colonels) opinion that
Co. b would fail to accomplish the task il
permission were given.
This was not very satisfactory to the Cap
tain, who soon after returned to his COM
mand, and watching his opportunity struck
out with the company in the direction of the
enemy's works. and took position in dense
thicket directly under the enemy's guns.
Ad1t Welles soon missed Co. b from the
line and reported the matter to the Colonel,
who ordered Co. b back into line.
This was severe blow to Co. 8, and ex-
plains how it lost the honor of capturing Fort
Donelson. But to make up as far as possible
for their loss the boys kept their eyes open,
and on Sunday morning. Feb. Is, were close
to the fort. When it was announced that
the fort had surrendered they were among
the first Union boys to get in.
Having got wind that the rebs had on hand
large supply of rations, Co. B made a grand
charge and succeeded in capturing the whole
rebel cOmmissary-rice, molasses and all.
But the above capture was thought 20 have
been an unfortunate one, as many of the boys,
eating too heartily of rice and molasses, were
taken violently ill.
A report got out that the rebel stores were
poisoned, but upon a careful examination it
was determined that such was not the case;
that the sickness was due to bal weather, bad
water and other causes incident to our new
life.-M. b. LOOP, 6Sth Ohio Geneseo, Kan.

EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: In the issue
of Dec. 30. Jesse B. Ditty, 9th Pa. Cav,
makes q correction On the speech of Mai.
Byrns Of the 18th, at the Reunion at
Harrisburg on Oct. 10. / read Of the Incl
dent. and thought it made nice little piece
for the benefit Of the 18th, and no doubt
made the boys feel good.
Now, neither the Major nor Comrade Dirty
is right as to what brigade or regiment
entered Raleigh first. If there is any honor
in it, claim it for the Third Brigade, Gen.
Murray 9Th KY, commanding with the 9TH
Ohio Cav. in the lead. Co. ID, of which
was No !, was first, far in the advance,
Capt. John wilkins commanding the COM
pany and the advance.
We expected trouble before entering the
North Carolina capital, and when we first
saw the citizens delegation fling out of the
town, thought was in for it; but we soon
saw the white flag borne by party, and |
felt better.
The column was halted, awaiting their ar
rival. They proved to be the Mayor and
City Councils, with q number of prominent
citizens. They readily gave up the city.

guarded while the command marched

entered the famous old city.

and so on until all of the 5th Ohio was on
guard The 9Th KY. and I'd Ala. came
next, and If, as Comrade Ditty says, Ken
lucky regiment raised the flag on the old
capitol, it was Murray's 9TH KY.
AS for the little fight just outside the town,
it did not amount to anything, and tie
reason the 18th was at the front was that Kill
patrick always liked to try a new regiment
to see what they were made'of, and if there
had been any prospects Of a fight You wonld
have seen the 9th Pa, sd Iii. and 9Th Ind.

Pa. ~
We do not wish to take one laurel from
any of the regiments, but we do know part
Of the record of the 9th Pa; and no better
regiment drew rein than they; but that was
the last fight of the cavalry. All we had to
do after that was, eat and bei merry. was

hot words between him and Fitzpatrick, for
was standing by the gate, aud my opinion
was that the little cavalry commander was
too much for the big one.
If Hampton had the laugh on Kilpatrick
Tor running in his stockings. the laugh did
not last long; for Wade was badly licked
before Fitzpatrick could get back to where
MS boots were, and that, too, by brigade
that did not have as many men as the 18th
regiment. The rebels had q thousand to our
every hundred. l think our brigade effective

Negroes IA Spies.

Editor National Tribune In your issue
of Oct. 81 Corpl Pike, in his story, makes
a mistake in calling the 9Th Tex. Cav.
"Wharton's Rangers" The 9Th Tex. Cav.
was "Terry's Texas Rangers" and the
flag of the regiment is now in the State
ured by the 18th Ind. tWildeT's Brigade
in a charge at Coosatown, Ala. The flag
is about three feet six inches square, OF
dark-blue silk, with gold fringe. In the
center is a white satin disk about IL
inches i'm diameter, with red cross en-
on each side is embroidered: |Terry's
Texas Hangers" Below the cross, on one
side, is embroidered: 18th Tex. Cav" and
on the other side, "Ducit amor Patria."
Now, what amuses me most is to read
in The National Tribune how our scouts,
guides, and others who got into difficult
ties were always assisted by the poor
negroes, while l have heard numbers OF
ex Confederate soldiers telling the same
story of how the negroes would feed and
secrete them when inside the Yankee
lines, or when closely pursued by the
Yanks. One thing have learned since
the war, and that is that negroes
were the best spies the COnfederacy had.
They could go in an out Of our lines with
out suspicion, and thus kept their mas
tiers informed Of all our movements. ~

THE 18TH IND. BATTERY.
Scraps OF History from It's Service in Ten
ncssec in 1864


ncssee in 1864.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue OF Jan. II, last, Comrade Valentine ID.
Nichols, 23d Ind. battery, refers to some
mistakes of Comrade George Collins in his
statement about the 18th Ind. battery, and a
ride from London, via Knoxville to Cum
berland Gap, in which took part.
COmrade Collins is correct in his descrip-
ton OF the ride, also regarding the Regular
batteries. He might have added that some
times in East Tennessee, in order to get the
18th Ind battery into action, we had oxen
and mules as teams, and at other times
infantry and cavalry had to push US into
position. In the campaign around Straw
berry Plains, Beams Station, and Blain's
Crossroads, Buckeyes battery and Gittings's
Regular battery also gave us their horses.
In regard to the Odd Ind. battery, at
Columbia, Tenn, they gave us their harness
and we gave them our worn harness in re-
turn, but either the same day or: the day
following, our new harness reached us from
Nashville, and we returned the Odd battery
harness. which did not please the officers and
men OF that battery; but they kept the
field, and that night crossed the Harpeth
River with us, and were not sent North by
rail. On Nov. "a and 80 they were in
action, and, according to official reports, fired
297 rounds of shell and shot. Cockerill's
battery CD was also in action and fired 2O4
rounds. The 18th battery here again had
the place Of honor, and expended $50 rounds
Of shell and schrapnel and 40 rounds of
canister. The canister was tired by the guns
l had charge Of and fired against the parties
who tried to lay the pontoon bridge over
Harpeth River. When night came we wore
out Of ammunition, and had
only about three rounds to gun.
We now started on march to Franklin,
70 miles distant, and at Spring Hill passed

The man who, above all others, has
always been most Systematically abused
is Gen. Butler. He has ever been repre-
scented ~ his enemies as y cold hearted
tyrant in his dealings with our soldiers,
and has been constantly blamed by the
rebels with retarding all their pious 81
efforts to effect speedy exchanges; but the
follow letter completely vindicates him
from such ISLANDERS, if nothing else would:

My father also received very kind
letter from Gen. Thomas, promising to
render me all the assistance in his power;
and the correspondence ought to satisfy
anyone that our officers, so far from neg

deserved; nor do l believe they ever

The fact is that the darkies, being
