Yes, as the comrade said, we had just

two months before. There being so many

YAZOO RIVER AND FORT HINDMAN.
The Story of an s3d Ohio Regiment Man
Serving in the Far South.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | have
seen in your paper accounts of Yazoo
River and Fort Hindman, but they do
not seem to agree, but are, of course, the
best recollections of the writers. | will
give you my story.
The expedition started from Memphis
in the Winter of 1863, ga. Troops were
loaded on boats and shipped to MiIliken's
Bend, La, there to await the coming of
others.
My regiment got to that point about
Jan. 4, 1868, near the mouth of the va
ZOO, and advanced to within two miles
of the rebels and went into camp for the
night. Next morning early heavy firing
was heard. The rebels were on high
bluffs and we were in a swamp, with Il
small bayou between us. We lay there
until night, when the whole army packed
up and started for the boats, whereon we
got at u O'Clock.
We got away the next day and went
to Millikens Bend We lost in killed and
wounded over 100 and great many were
not accounted for. We marched out once
to cross the bayou, but for some reason
the order was countermanded. If it had
been carried out every one would have
been killed.
About Jan. II we got on boats and were
taken up White River to near Fort Hind
man. The enemy retreated inside their
works mile farther up. 1t became dark
about o'clock and operations We're
stopped till daylight. The night was cold
and no fires were allowed. Early in the
morning we went nearer the fort The
advance was made to the edge of the
woods and the line was formed for Il
charge over the rail fence on open ground
and exposed to the enemy's fire. Hardly
had we started than an order was given
20 retreat. We fell back, reformed and
started again, reaching a house, where We
were in the center of the fight. The reb-
els raised the white flag. There was a
great rush for the fort. We captured a
great many prisoners and stores of all
kinds. We stayed there a day or so and
then took the boats and went to Young 5
Point, in sight of Vicksburg, where we
went into camp.-THoMAs NJ. DICKSON,

SERG'T FISK GOT 1T.
The 29th ohio's Flag and How 1t Was Recap
tured-An ESCAPE BY Night.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / was
very much interested in Comrade Rupp's
story about the 29th Ohio. That was a
gallant regiment. 1t was with us Uhe
9TH Ind) at the battle of Winchester.
Jackson did us up at Port Republic, but
it would not have happened if we had not
been greatly outnumbered. L was one of
the captured, with 40 others of our regi-
ment, and 400 of our two little brigades.
Well do | remember that chilly night
on the summit Of the Blue Ridge, the
first night after the battle. 1t was rain
ing the next morning and that is why we
stayed all day and night at the foot of the
ridge, in the old log barn, where the flag
OF the 29th Ohio was recaptured spoken
of by Comrade Rupp. The comrade is
mistaken, however, in regard to who got
the man who got the flag. 1t was set up
dark SeTg't Fisk pulled it up into the
lott. (There We're 30 or more CT us up
there) He tore it off the staff and hid
the staff and spear-head in the hay. The
flag he sewed in the lining of his coat
and wore it through prison.
The second day after the battle we
started to Charlottesville, a distance of
40 miles, which we made in two days. At
Charlottesville we boarded freight cars for
Lynchburg, and arrived late in the even
ing, hungry and weak, having been pris-
Oners for four days, and not having had
more than one good, square meal in all
that time. / was so hungry and weak
while lying on the ground | hardly had
the strength TO hold my body together.

brigade lay at Manassas Junction on Fri
day, Aug. %, 1862, until late in the af-
ternoon, when we moved toward the point
where we had seen fighting going on all
the afternoon. Just at dark we were fired
on and went no farther that night, but
slept on our arms until daylight on Sat
urday morning, Aug. 80. Our battalion
was commanded by Capt. McKibben. We
marched for the Bull Run field early in
the morning. 1t could not have been later
than 10 o'clock, and, / think, not later
than 8 o'clock, when we were under fire,
and We were in 1t hot from then till about
sunset. l saw Capt. McKibben's horse
shot under him and the Captain wounded
in the ear. | also saw Capt. Coppinger,
Co. (since Gen. Coppinger), seriously
wounded In the neck and assisted off the
field by Capt. Locke and a Lieutenant.
Our company and the color company each
lost about one-tbird of their men. We fell

comrades of Sykes's Regulars"

We camped at CovingtOn after captur-

pieces of artillery, burned some 1900
bales of cotton, and all sorts of stores
except what the boys appropriated for

We tore up eight miles of railroad and

On July 4 we were early on the march
again, moving from our camps north of
Marietta. We went few miles to the
left, threw up temporary works and wait
ed, while heavy fighting went on along the
lines, until, at ) o'clock in the afternoon,
the rebels made n desperate charge on us.
l was on skirmish, happening to be with
a comrade from Co. c, who was about 80
yards to my left. Three rebel officers
came charging down the hill toward
where this comrade, David Kaufman, was
concealed behind tree. They discovered
him, demanded his surrender, and one of
them got hit for his impudence. The 9TH
ers reached Kaufman and tried to wrench
his gun from his hands. Another COM
rade, seeing the struggle, took aim quickly
and shot one of them. Kaufman captured
the other and walked him back.
We fell back to our horses at o'clock
and went into camp.
