Gunboats at Shiloh.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I see in
the issue Of Aug. 30 that the the debate
on shiloh" is still open, and it seems
that it may not close as long as there are
two survivors of that conflict living to
carry it on. / am of the same opinion as
Comrade Nj. b. Loop, 6Sth Ohio, as to
hearing the first shot at Shiloh, at dis
lance of five miles, by a comrade of his
regiment. 1t is known now by nearly all
of the old soldiers who were there that
the battle was opened by the pickets of
Gen. Premises Division with muskets,
and not artillery, early in the morning
of April q, 1862, and soon brought about
the general engagement of Premises and
Sherman's Divisions with the advancing
Confederate army. Both sides now used
artillery and muskets, and the roar of
battle could be heard for miles.
This cannOnading on Sunday morning
had been taken by the troop at a distance
as coming from the gunboats on the Ten
nessoe River, which is certainly a mistake
Some even call these gunboats ironcads-
which is another mistake, if | am cor
rectly informed. My understanding was,
and is now, that there We're no ironclads
ut Pittsburg Landing during the battle of
Shiloh, and not nearer than Cairo, ILL.,
The Gunboats Tyler and Lexington, which
were the only gunboats engaged at Shiloh,
were wooden structures. They took their
position short distance below Pittsburg
Landing, near the mouth of Lick Greek,
and opposite deep rayine, and sent their
big shells into the Confederate ranks.
This action took place about 3 p. NJ,
April u, 1862, and could not have been
performed sooner, as our own men would
have been in the way, OF the shells About
$50 p. M, on April 6, Stuart's Brigade
what was left of them were compelled
to fall back toward the Landing, and their
position was soon occupied by the Confed-
crates. The fact was soon made known
to the officers of the gunboats, and they
let loose the big guns on the Johnnies

A Letter, and What Came of It.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | little
dreamed, when correcting the statement
of Geo. Dallas Mosgrove, that | should
attract so much attention. Five letters
have been received corrOborating my
statements, and wishing to correspond or
renew old acquaintance and comradeships,
and about as many articles published in
The National Tribune, they also confirm
ing mine, with two exceptions-one by
Comrade Wilkins, already answered.
The above facts indicate in part the
value of The National Tribune to the vet
Grams. | have just answered a long let
ter from Comrade j. W. Blake. He was
not only of the same company, but after
the war we were felloW-citiZens, and char
had separated, lost each others address,
and for many years knew nothing of each
other till he saw my name i'll The Ma
tional Tribune. Comrade Maxon, in the
Aug. 10 Tribune, states that Col. Payne
was placed under arrest at or near Vicks-
burg for not obeying an order to have
the regiment in line at 3 Il. III. for in
spection, after just returning from that
ditch-digging. He is mistaken as to the
order disobeyed, and time and place. Com
rade Blake has it correct. / had the en-
tire correspondence in the New York
Tribune-the order to permit Shareholders
to search for their runaway slaves; the
Endorsement of Col. Payne in substance
that Congress had passed resolution that
runaway slaves should be considered CON
traband and must not be returned, and,
being the highest authority, he must obey
that; the Endorsement then of Gen. Will
liams, will you obey the order? Yes or
no." then Col. Payne's second Endorsement
in about these words: Il thought my an
swer before sufficiently explicit, but if it
is not, now say l will not obey the or
der" 1t was that correspondence that led
me, a radical anti-slavery man, to enlist
in the 4th Wis. After Col. Payne was
placed under arrest the boys gathered
around his tent and cheered him. He
made them very neat speech, counselling
patience and obedience in his case; sure
that all would come out right, as it soon
did, though in a way he did not antici-
pate. No Drawer man ever fought for his
country than Col. Payne, and Col. Bean,
his successor, who was killed at Port
Hudson, was just as brave. Also Col.
Boardman, killed in an ambush at the

Capturing a Rebel wagon-Master.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In Octo-
Der, 1868, our regiment was camped at
the foot of Waldron's Ridge, in the Sc
quachee Valley, Tenn, to protect our
wagon trains coming from Bridgeport,
Ala, to Chattanooga, Tenn, as Wheeler's
cavalry had destroyed two of our trains
at this point en- route from Bridgeport
to the front. We were anxious to be re-
hCyed, and do something else, so we were
ordered over the Ridge toward the front,
and sent up the Tennessee River above
Chattanooga, about eight or 10 miles, on
the opposite side of the river. We came to
Il point on the river bank, called
lgoS Ferry, where Wheeler's cavalry had
been in the habit of crossing the river.
Our regiment was strung along the river,
a company in place. Soon after our
company was located we strolled down to
the ferry landing. The ferry consisted of
a large fiat-bottomed boat or skiT capable
of holding n dozen or more persons. We
had been there but short time when
there was a signal given from the oppo-
site shore that some one wanted to cross.
We found it was a woman who wished
to come over to our side of the river. Capt.
Samuel Wilson, of our company (E), and
four or i've of the company got into the
boat and crossed. While on the other
side they concluded to do a little scout
ing on their own responsibility; 50 they
went INLAND about quarter OF mile,
when they came to a road where a for
age train was passing toward Chatta-
nooga, loaded with corn and other forage.
There was but one white man in sight,
and he was in charge of the train. The
boys took him in and his horse also, hur-
ried down to the boat and got the lady
and wagon-master in, and led the horse
behind, making him swim the river. They
had just succeeded in getting across to
our side when a company of rebel cavalry
dashed up on the opposite shore and fired
q few shots, but did no harm. | have
never seen any account of the above af-
fair published. / believe most of the boys
who participated in the capture of that
Quartermaster are still living. Lieut.. Van
lyle, | know, is dead, but am not sure
whether he was one of the crowd or not.
| think Nick" Smith was one of the
squad that made the raid. | understand
he has passed to the beyond. | think

of writing the many incidents of our cam
paigning should contribute to the columns

A Prisoner in Libby.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The bat
tie of Gettysburg was fought July 1, 2,
and 3, 1868. | passed safely through
the engagement, but on Aug. II, while
the Army of the Potomac was pursuing
Lee south, l fell into the hands of the
rebels. Pickets had been stationed well
in front of the army just south of Thor
oughfare Gap. The Quartermaster, my
self, and an escort went out to see that
these pickets were all right. Just as we
reached the post it was attacked by a
part Of brigade of rebel cavalry. My
horse was shot through the fore shoulder
and | was taken prisoner.
That night | was taken to the Bull
Run Mountains, where we were given a
good supper and afterward we were re-
called with some music by two ladies of
the home until bedtime, when we were
given place to rest. That was the last
good nights rest for us for 10 long, weary
months. We had hidden good-by TO the
the sO-called Southern COnfederacy.
The second day we reached Culpeper.
We had heard much about this place,
but upon entering the town we were
much disappointed. We found only q
few frame houses, these appearing very
old and dilapidated. We slept on the
floor of an old storeroom and the next
morning took up our journey for Rich
mand and Libby Prison. Just at dusk
we reached the residence of a physician.
Two young ladies came out and asked
US: what are yo'uns down here fighting
we'uns for!" l told them nothing was
further from our thoughts, and that We
would not hurt them.
We entered the home, where we passed
the night. The owner was a cousin of
the young Indies, and Adjutant General
on EwelPs staff.
We were up early in the morning and
on the road again. About noon we strucl,
railroad and without further mishaD
or adventure we reached Richmond that
evening. We left the cars and started
on the road just at lanplight. We passed
Castle Thunder and soon saw Libby
looming up in the cleaning. AT the en-
trance we were searched and all our val
uables were taken from us. We We're
then sent upstairs with Il guard. As soon
as we were in sight of the prisoners on
the upper floor they began to shout
Fresh fish! fresh fish, | thought they
had fish for supper, but was sadly dis
appointed. | had nothing to eat for "a
hours; then | got loaf" of bread
about as large as the biscuit my mother
used to bake when | was 4 boy. That
night | lay upon the hard floor of that
prison, tired and hungry, thinking | would

1t was - long, weary months before |
saw the old flag again. While III Libby
an assault was made upon me from which
l have suffered ever since. We were
called downstairs to look at some boxes
which had arrived in Richmond, directed
to Libby and intended for some of the
prisoners. One box was for me. 1t was
said to contain suit of clothes sent by
loving hands from the North. The boxes
had been broken open and all marks de-
stroyed that would tell who they were
for. While viewing the wreck of our
