and geysers, is practically a thing OF
the past. This is an excellent example
of how a scientific observer may draw a
wrong conclusion, if he has not studied
the subject sufficiently. The names
given to such natural objects as geysers
are very apt to be misnomers. The
geyser action on the shore of Yellow
stone Lake is more vigorous than it was
ten years ago.

neer on the Pennsylvania lines. He had
been discharged from the employ of the

First Ind. Battery Survivors Looking for
Their CAPTURED Standard

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The
survivors of the 1st Ind. Battery are max
ing an effort to recover the flag carried by
the battery, and which was captured in
1864 at Sabine Crossroads. 1t is not
known by whom the flag was captured or
where it now is. but the boys of the battery
are desirous of locating it and of obtaining
possession of the Old Glory under which
they fought.
the patriotic ladies presented them with a
flag. 1t had no mark upon it. Troops
from Texas captured the flag while in a
battery.
Survivors Of the battery are: Philip
Nonweller, First Lieutenant; Jacob Mann,
First Lieutenant; Christ Wunderlich, Geo.
Nester, Christ Heilman, Henry Doerr,
Nick Gostelli, Chas. Schweitzer, George
Faist, Henry Richstein and Philip Zahn.
They carried this flag at Pea Ridge,
through the campaign and siege of Vicks-
burg, and its folds kissed the breeze at the
surrender. At Mobile the battery took it
with them, and on the Red River campaign
it was ever with them till its capture.
1t matters not, the old boys want the
flag, the flag of a united country. May
hap, some Texan may know of the where
Why do they want 1t? 1t is the flag
without blemish, no mark or stain upon
it. 1t was given to them by fair hands
and with pure hearts. They want 1t to be

with unfaitering courage, and never re.
laxed in energy until they were in the front
line, where for n few moments most
desperate hand-to-hand conflict ensued for
the possession of the works, terminating
in the Kentuckians VIGOROUSLY planting
the Stars and Stripes upon the parapet
where but a few moments before the stars
and bars had triumphantly floated.
This achievement brought rousing
cheers from the men Of Stiless and Case
ment's Brigades. But the recovery OF the
works was by no means yet complete.
The Confederates we're still in the outside
ditch, where they dare not raise their heads,
and were in entire possession of the works
beyond Whites right for nearly fourth
of the distance from the pike toward the
cotton-gin, and at the pike where there
was an opening in the works they had
surged through in vast numbers to the
inside of the Union lines, whence they were
delivering a murderouS entiladlng fire
upon Reilly, to which the right of the 10th
KY. vigorously responded. The artillery
men of the 1st KY. battery, who were not
killed or wounded, had been carried away
by Wagner's surging masses, and their
four guns were idly standing at the EN-
braZures, silent spectators of the awful
conflict raging around them.
Meanwhile the kentuckianS, appreciat-
ing this crisis and its Importance, and
recognizing their inability with their sadly
decimated ranks to force the enemy farther
without aid as they were vastly outnum-
bered, began casting anxious glanceS to
the rear to see if reinforcementS were ap-
nroaching, and their JOY knew no bounds
when they saw the fearless Opdycke and

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l wish
to correct my article of Dec. 2S, 1890, headed

statements, to wit: That instead of the Sth

of the 18th III. it should read the S1st ILL.,,
who participated in that charge on the 1st
Miss. Battery with the 32d Ohio and cap
tured it.
The error I made in my first article is a
historical error, as found in the history of
the 32d Ohio, on page "A. / thought at the
time | wrote my article that it was a mistake
as to my own recollection of the fact, as in
my own mind always had 1t fixed that it

rades or regiments of the honor due them
on that day, but to bring out the facts in
the case as they really were.
| have since written to our Regimental
Secretary, Capt. Warner Mills, Co. G., 32d
Ohio, who now resides at Columbus, o.,
and he says the statement in the history
is an error as regards the Sth Wis. and 18th

(StevenSon'S Third Brigade, Third Di-
vision of the Seventeenth Corps), but had
been on detail guarding a large wagon
train from Port Gibson and came to us that
evening or next morning, and was a noble
and brave regiment. The Sth Wis. was as

Comrade Williams, Of Rousculp, O., of
Feb. %, 1900, gives good description of
the scene, as also does Comrade S. j. Hazel
baker Co. X, sth ILL.,, as he saw it from
his standpoint. But Comrade J. L. Shreve,
Co. ID, 124th ILL.,, is mistaken about taking
the LIST Miss. Battery before our brigade
made the charge, for it was in full blaze and
manned by the rebs when we came up to
it and passed it a short distance until
halted by our officers; and surely the noble
124th Ill. would not have turned the guns
uponus; and then the men who manned the
battery wore the rebel uniform. No doubt,
Comrade Shreve, the 102 dozen Illinoisans
did good work that day, as they did after
wards; so j will say to you as a comrade of
the banner regiment of the Seventeenth
Corps, do not wish to rob you or your regi-
ment of any honor due you on that day S

troops engaged in that days fight did their
duty bravely, honestly and successfully.

Failed to See the Sixth Corps at Fort Stevens
July IL

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of March 20, Comrade r. Guyton,
both Pa, objects to my statement in re-
gard to the fight at Fort Stevens, also in
your issue of April 26 Comrade j. Fred
Loeble says need correction. Well, they
do both of them make out that / was wrong,
unless perhaps both of the comrades may
be mistaken. I will explain how l came
to think the Sixth Corps did not fire shot
at Fort Stevens July Ii, 1864.
On the 10th the 25th N. Y. Cav. were at
Camp Stoneman. Sometime in the night
of the 10th we were called out and marched
into the city. We were dismounted at that
time, and lay in the streets till daylight.
AS soon as daylight broke We marched out
9TH street to Fort Stevens, arriving about
sunrise We turned to the left of the fort,
halted, drew hardtack and 40 rounds of
cartridges and formed line in front of the
fort think not later than a. m.
The rebels opened on us while forming
our lire. The rebel line at that time was
between the fort and where Brightwoc d
Cemetery now is. We drove them back
until our line was beyond where theirs
had been and held our line till about p. m.
when we were relieved by a V. r. G. regi-
ment, l think the 10th, but am not sure.
When relieved we went back TO the fort
ing ceased. While resting after coming
out Of the fight we could see the whole
firing line and if any part of the Sixth
Corps had been there / certainly would
have seen it.
After dark we were moved over near
Fort De Russey and the next day there was
pretty fight in front of Fort Stevens.
saw this fight from the hill at the right
and rear of De Russey. One of the COM
rades says, "If Comrade Lord had been at
Fort Stevens" Bless your heart, comrade,
| was there with my eyes open and was as
anxious to see the Sixth Corps as any
body, and remember well, in the morning
of the 18th, we heard that the Sixth had
true and we wondered why they did not
show up. If a brigade or even one regi-
ment had formed in front of the fort, as
both of the comrades claim their brigade
did, any time during the day before 6 p. m,
they must have run over our regiment or
have fred into us from the rear.
Now, both claim to have fought in front
of the fort on the left of the road, the same
position which we held. | am n great
admirer of the men who composed the
Sixth, and do not wish to be understood
as trying in any manner to rob them of
their well-earned laurels; but have stated
the facts just as they occurred and there
are still living some men who know them to
be facts, besides myself. Since the close
of the war | have met a number of men who
were in the Sixth Corps and were at Fort
Stevens who agree with me. II official
records say the Sixth Corps was engaged
