across the river, in water waist-deep, under
q storm of shot and shell; formed line,
and went at the rebels amidst the stampede

As we advanced across that field someone
picked up the colors of an Ohio regiment
and handed them to Lieut. Avery, Hazen's
Aid-de-Camp, who un.urled them. and went
dashing after the regiment, shouting " Here
are your colors." The poor fellows rallied.
Col. W. b. Hazen, 4lst Ohio, led this
charge as cool as on dress parade. A part Of
this brigade crossed back over the river
farther up nearer the bridge on the pike:
charged the famous Whitehorse Louisiana
battery, that had annoyed us on Wednesday
afternoon, and took it between sundown and
dark. And the great battle was ended.

Capturinr Two Cannon.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have been
considerably interested, also somewhat
amused, in the controversy about the capture
of the two cannon at Mission Ridge. 1t
would look to one, in reading about the capt
ure Of those pieces, as if they were the only
pieces of cannon on the Ridge. The whole
truth of it is that Wagner's Brigade took the
pieces.
Our regiment (57th Ind. was on the skir-
mish-lIne. We were deployed abOut 900
yards in front of the line Of battle, and it was
ours to make the start. The orders were to
take the first line of works at the foot of the
Ridge and halt. 1t was nearly one mile to
the first line of works; from there up, a steep
ridge Of some 600 yards. When we got to
the first line of works at the foot of the Ridge
there was but q niomentary halt, when it
was over the works and on for the top OF the
Ridge. As we were leaving the works we
had to pass through some quarters the rebels
had built Of poles and boards. By the time
we got in there the shells were coming thick
and fast.
To our left was Woods Division, to which
HaZen's and Willich's Brigades belonged
The two cannon were nearly the extreme
right of Wagner's Brigade, and to the right
Of the Ringgold road and to the left of Bragg's
Headquarters. How does anyone suppOss.
that any of Hazen's or Willich's men could
have gone from Woods Division to the right
OF Wagner's Brigade and taken those pieces
and divided the cornbread one comrade says
they found in one of the caissons? That
may have happened after Wagner's Brigade
moved on after the enemy. l was not the
first one to the top of the Ridge, but was one
among the first. and it was Wagner's men
who took the pieces and loaded and fred

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / saw al
article by w. E. Doyle, 18th Ind, in which
think he is mistaken abOut going up in
front of Gen. Bragg's Headquarters. History
don't say so. Harker's Brigade rolled over
the works directly at the Headquarters oi
Gen. Bragg. The latter, with several of his
staff and subordinate commanders, barely
escaped capture. Five guns of battery
were seized ins'an instant. Col. Harker
leaped astride one Of the cannon, swinging
his sword with one hand and his hat with
the other, shouting like one demented. In
fact, Thomas's soldiers seemed an army OF
lunatics-every man was in a paroxysm of
jubilant enthusiasm. Chickamauga was
avenged.
Capt. Smith, of the 65th Ohio was placed
in charge of the captured battery, which
consisted of five guns, three caissons. and II
horses. Harkcr's Brigade captured the bat
tery above mentioned and $50 prisoners.
The assault upon Missionary Ridge was
one of the most gallant exploits recorded in
ancient or modern warfare. 1t stands alone
as a brilliant and far-reaching victory, won
by the rank and file in actual disobedience
of orders. The captures were more than
600 prisoners, 45 cannon, and many battle

LIKE A STURDY OAK.

This is the age of surprises. New inven-
tions are brought out every moment; new
discoveries are made almost daily, and the
good old ways Of our forefathers are being
discarded. Mechanical art has produced
wonders; the developments in chemistry have
astOnished the world, and medicine and sur
gerry have made rapid strides.
Nobody would to-day endeavor to cure
disease by bleeding, nor would the treatment
of our forefathers lie endorsed of physick-
ing by means of drastic purgatives. But
one old remedy. like the sturdy oak, has
wi,hstood the onslaught of time and it stands
still proudly erect, fresh and green, full of
vitality, spreading its beneficent branches
over humanity.
Planted over one hundred years ago, by
a good Samaritan at the foot OF the Blue
Ridge Mountains, it stands to-day a monu-
ment oil the past, but also for the present.
Thus does the discovery of DR.. Peters Blood
Vitalizer by old DR.. Peter Fahrney date
back into the past century.
During its existence, hundreds Of so-called
medical discoveries have sprung up, only to
conld not stand the test of time, but the
Blood Vitalizer has held its well-earned place
in the field Of medicine, and is to-day with
out rival as family remedy.
Composed exclusively of herbs roots, leaves,
barks, ETC., it is natures true medicine, un-
altered, as nature does not change. The
human constitution is the same to-day as it
was one hundred years ago. 1t is subject
to the same troubles and ailments, and the
Blood Vitalizer demonstrates to the living
generation its effectiveness, as well as it did
to those of the past.
Attempts have been made, time and again,
to initiate it; the public has been offered So
called substitutes under the pretense that
they were "just as good, " Just the same,"
etc, but these limitations and substitutes
have had but short existence.
DR.. Peters Blood Vitalizer is o popular
medicine, among those who are familiar with
it, because it is perfectly harmless, containing
no narcotic or mineral ingredients, such as
morphine, opium, bromides, mercury, cal
omel, bismuth, arsenic, ETC., but is q purely
botanical remedy. 1t is a favorite medicine,
because it is adapted for children and persons
of weak constitutions. 1t is pleasant to take
and produces no nauseating effects. Al
though it is mild laxative, it is pre-emi-
nently blood purge, driving the Impurities
out of the system through natures proper
channels.
A long record of success in the treatment
Of human ailments is the history of DR..
Peters Blood Vitalizer, the old and time
tried remedy.

Guns Captured at Missionary Ridge.

G.. E. Dolton, ST. Louis. Mo-, writes: al
have noticed the claims of various comrades
regarding the capture of the two rebel guns,

find that Capt. SlOcomb, commanding Bat

his battery in two positions between the
