In reply, Mr.. Higgins said, that the
County Committee did not have full power
to fill all the positions and did the best it
could under the circumstances. He added
that the appointments came from Tren-
ton and that as the representation in the
Legislature from this county is Demo-
cratic, he considered the work of getting
two Republican Commissioners well done.
Mr. Gordon:--If the County Committee
hasn't power enough to keep a Demo-

lature is large Republican, then it ought
to go out of business.

The well known employe of Detroit, Michi-
gan, Board of Public Works, Joseph b.
Myers, living at liz Fort Street, west, is an
important member of the Grand Army of
Veterans, and recently had a remarkable
experience.
Comra,le Myers enlisted at Elinburg, Mo-,
in 1862, and served during the war in the
southwest, and was discharged at St. Louis,
Mo-, in 1865. He was a member of Co. X.
First Missouri Cavalry, 18th A. C. Western
army, commanded by General Burnside, and
later by Gen. Eads. He participated in the
battles of Springfield, Seas Ford and all the
pr r.ncipal battles through Missouri.
For months the First Missouri Cavalry
followed the notorious Guerilla Quantreil
and his band of bushwackers. Scarcely day
passed but what there was a running hight
For nearly six weeks Comrade Myers was
in the saddle constantly. 1t was. campaign
of strategy and endurance, as both sides
were well mounted. Night and day it was

trated for weeks after Quantrell was driven
from the State. Many times the command
rode all night to cut off his retreat and fought

saddles during this campaign. and were clad
when they were relieved.

Some Events az Stated by Different Writer

Some Events az Stated by Different Writers.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: To the his
torian of 1906 a complete file of your paper
would be {. GOd-send, as a complete and ac-
curate history of that great struggle could be
CLEANED from its columns.
1t becomes, then, Of first Importance that in
writing for its columns care should be taken
that the facts are stated. so as not to mislead
future writers of history. l am led to these
reflections on reading a few inaccuracies lately
puhlished-One in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
of Nov. II, 1898. and one in Gen. Hyde's
book, " Following the Greek Cross" The
former is unsigned. but it purports to be a
synopsis of the statistics of the 9th Iowa, and
gives the killed at l52, and total killed and
wounded, 572.
Gen. Baker, Iowa's Acknowledgement. gives
the killed in that regiment rs 100; died of
wounds, 80; wounded, 33l; or total of 46l ,
a discrepancy Of Ill.
The 9th Iowa leads all Iowa regiments in
killed; the 7th comes next with 81.
In Gen. Hyde's account Of the final break
through the rebel lines before Petersburg. he
claims to have suggested and discovered
the point OF attack on the rebel works, q
place left open i'll their lines for the passage of
teams in hauling wood. He also says his
brigade, the Third of the Second Division,
Sixth Corps was given the post Of point of
the mighty wedge, consisting of the Sixth
Corps, when the lines were broken.
On the contrary, Gen. l.. A. Grant, COM
manding the Vermont Brigade, says: 81 had
discovered to our front, and q little to the
left of Fort Fisher, that there was an OPEN
ing in the rebel works at a ravine in which
water flowed etc. l called Gen. Getty's
attention to this place, and he in turn called
the attention OF Gems. Wright and Meade.
1t was decided to make this the point of
attack, and the old Vermont Brigade was
selected to form the entering-wedge and to
lead the attack"
After further description Gen. Grant pro-
ceeds The other two brigades of the divs-
ion followed and took position on the right
of my brigade. Then, after lying on the
ground in the cold for hours, the troops
sprang to their feet. The brigades on the
right and left, which had waited for the Yer
monters, started rs soon as the Vermonters
were well under way. The flags of two Yer
mont regiments were first on the works
None could tell which was first, owing to
darkness, but 1t Is admitted that Capt. Chas.
g. Gould, of the 5th VT, was the first man
over the works."
So that if Gen. Hyde's contention is correct,
his men must have allowed the Vermont
Brigade to pass them. But they didn't, for
they were in the rear and right of the Ver-
mont Brigade, and kept their position, and
very properly so.-CHAs PORTER, Co. Z,
