We were in position to see the lombard
meat oF Grand Gulf between our gun
boats and the batteries. We marched be-
low and were at the battle of Magnolia
dill. On May 2 we marched through Port
Gibson.
The battle of Raymond took place on
the 18th and that of Jackson on the Nth,
but we had no part in these fights. At
Champions Hill we were held in reserve
and brought up at the closing of the bat
tie and fired on the retreating enemy. We
were at the battle of Black River, crossed
that stream and drove the rebels into their
fortifcations at Vicksburg on the 22d.
After the fall of Vicksburg we got
marching orders again and soon reached
the field of Champions Hill again. On
July 10 we drove the rebels out of their
fortifications at Jackson. We were on the
Bayou Teche campaign and had been near
Fort Butler for some time when Christ
mas came.
We arrived at Alexandria on March
27, 1854, went to Nachitoches. and on
April 6 started for Pleasant Hill. We
pushed TO the front and hardly had time
to unlimbcr before we were lin it." The
infantry being pressed very hard made a
bold stand until the rebels coming in on
both fanks they were compelled to give
way. The road was blocked by a train
to abandon our guns. During the night
we marched back to Pleasant He'll, where
the next day there was more fighting.
After this battle we were assigned to
the Sixteenth Corps, and Gen. Smith gave
us guns captured at Henderson Hill,-be-
longing to some Texas troops. but they
were not Of much account. We stayed
with the rear of Smiths army and used
the guns several times.
We got to New Orleans on the 31st
where, the time of the old battery boys
being mp, some of them re-enlisted, and
the balance was sent to indianapolis and
mustered out. On Sept IA, 1864, the bat,
terry was reorganized and assigned to the
Sixteenth Corps and took an active part
in the siege of Mobile and at Spanish
Fort. We were finally mustered out at
indianapolis, Aug. %, 1865, with three of
ficerS and 102 men.-GEoRGE NEsTER,

ON THE FIELD AT FRANKLIN.
A Wounded Mans Story of Some Things
That Happened.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of May 81 | noticed accounts of the
Battle Of Franklin by two comrades, one
of the 10th Ohio, the other of the 63d
Ind
The comrade of the 10th has been fair
in his statements, with the exception of
few things. He states that the front line
was Wagner's men, which is not correct
T1at line was made up of detail from
each company and regiment in the army.
L was member of Co. G, 104tL Ohio, and
was on that skirmish line from early
morning until we were driven in about 4
o'clock p. m. These are facts.
The comrade of the G3d Ind. makes some
mistakes. He states that the104th was out
in front supporting the skirmish line, and
when driven in did not stop at the works,
but kept on running. The 10th was not
supporting the front line. They were in
their breastwOrks first. last and all the
time, except two companies ON the right
and n portion Of the Tooth Ohio were
forced back at the pike. But those game
men charged and retook the work. | know

ball, in my shoulder, which l have carried
ever since.
Is it any wonder that that line was
broken! The rebs came up there seven

a poise was heard but o fey times during
the war. The shells literally rained onto
that fort. Every gun had the tange ex-
actly
AS soon as the guns had fred a round or
two each, and were continuing as rapidly
as they could LOAD We, were ordered to
rise and move up the bin with arms at a
trail. The ascent was slow and hard,
owing to the steepness of the hill, but In a
few minutes we found ourselves at the
ditch, and began to be in danger from
our own shells, which seemed TO scorch
us as they went screeching Just above our
heads.
AT signal every gun was hushed, and
we rushed over the works, the 93d Ind.

What sight met the eye as we stood on
top of the works. The earth was plowed
up with the shot as completely as if it had
been a field prepared for wheat Mangled
men lay scattered everywhere near the
works. The enemy crouched as close as
they could get, and who dared say they
were towards; no braver men were to be
found than Cheatham's men, as proved on
many hard-fought fields, but flesh and
blood could not stand such an ordeal OF

shot and shell as was rained upon them.
And when we stood above them with bayo-
nets at a charge, and they looked up, il was
the first intimation they had that charge
had been made. We understood then why
a silent charge had been made. Con-
sternation was depicted on each pale
countenance as its owner looked up and
saw US. and the first thought of each was
to throw up his hands and surrender. No
doubt they thought the entire Yankee
army was back of u.s. or they would not have
surrendered without a struggle, as they
numbered four or five to our one, our entire
brigade only numbering 800 fighting men.
The victory was ours. The rebel center
was broken and precipitous retreat at
once began. Hood was completely whip

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At the
outbreak of the civil war there was Il

two cannon. Upon the Presidents first
call they disbanded and through the in
iinence of Martin Klauss and Carl
Schmidt, both of whom had seen service
in the old Fatherland, permission was OBJ
tanned from the Governor TO raise bat

work began of recruiting, and by July 26
we left Evansville fefIn,iianapOlis, where
we were mustered in on Aug. 16, with l29
