DID NOT RUN AWAY.
Doing Business at the Same Old stand Unit
the Close OF the Battle.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of Jan. 8 James Allen, st. Paul,
Mimi, asks what the 14th U. S. did at
Gaines's Mill on June 81, 1862. He states
that they ran away like flock of sheep,
which is not the fact.
On the morning of June o. 1862, we
left camp and moved back with the rest
of the army until about noon, when we
went into line of battle, and about / D. IN.
were ordered to load with ball cartridges.
We then moved toward the woods in our
front and were soon engaged with the en-
emy. l think our regiment was on the
extreme right of the line Of battle, with
no support.
After fighting for some time we charged
in the woods, and drove the rebels back.
We then fell back to our old position in
the open field, which we held nearly all
the afternoon, repelling every attack, un-
til word came that Jackson was in on our
flank and rear, when we were ordered
back tc form new line of hattie.
The regiment was then ordered to make
right half-wheel, when some of the COM
panies had to double-quick on the left of
the regiment so as to keep In line, which
was done as if on parade, and when we
came to an old wagon road Capt. O'Con-
nell gave the command: Battalion, halt.
About-face." The order was then given
to commence firing. We held the rebels
but just as we were going into line saw
some troops of Franklin's Division COM
ing in, and one of the regiments over
Tapped one of our companies, or partially
so, and tried to break through our ranks,
which some of them did; but as our men
protested and closed up and would not let
them pass through, they had to pass
around our flank. 1t was then that they
made some remarks about our running
away, but we made them no answer, as
we knew that they would soon catch it.
They advanced about $50 yards to the
front and to our right, when they re-
ceived couple of vollcys from the rebels,
and in a short time they came running
back in squads of half dozen or so They
seemed to have all the fight taken out Of
them. Our men called to them to fnrD
on our right, which some of them did, but
others kept on to the rear.
The fighting was now mostly over for
the day, and we held our line until after
dark, which soon came on, as n heavy
smoke and mist hung over the battlefield.
We were then withdrawn from the field,
along with the rest of the troops. So end
ed the battle of Gaines's Mill on our part
OF the line.

Because if Kidney Trouble is Permitted to Continue
Fatal Results are Sure to Follow.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re-

Your other organs may need attention
but your kidneys most, because they do

A Deal in Hams.

EDITOR n NsTIoNAL TRIBUNE: l was a
member of Co. G, 10th Ind, and the Win
ter of '62 and Spring of '63 our regiment
was stationed at Gallatin, Tenn, with
part of the regiment sent to Saundersvtlle,
five miles nearer Nashville, to guard a
water tank and a bridge at brakes Greek.
We had good camp and splendid
blockhouse. Capt. Carson and his staff
officers had headquarters in the block
house, but company quarters were out
side Those staff officers acted as scouts
and had horses, and kept oats, hay and
corn in the blockhouse in one corner.
Our boys got an idea that there was
fresh meat near by, so got IL jolnts-neyer
took any sides at all-and they hid them
near camp in corn shack.
Well, next day two men came IN and
reported their loss to our Captain. He de-
clared that none of his men would steal
meat. and that all of Co. g belonged to
the Methodist meeting house, etc. But that
did not settle the bill with the citizens. So
the Captain took two men and, with his
staff officers, searched all Of our tents,
knapsacks, and even smelled the frying
pans, but no meat was found.
Now, boys" said he, Il will give you
two days to report who took the meat, and
if you don't report in that time l will
march you to Gallatin and turn the COM
pany over to Col Ben Harrison"
So when the time came the Captain had
us fall in line, and told US that then was
the last chance for us to confess our
guilt. James Harris said:
"Well, Captain, you searched Co. G's
quarters, but never searched your own and
the staff's quarters"
"All right, Jimmy" said the Captain, in
a fatherly way, but with twinkle in his
eye, 'go in and search"

TOOK OVER THREE HUNDRED.
The 18th M Y.'s Doings at the Battle of Han
over Court House.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In re-
gard to the battle of Hanover Court
House, Comrade ]. p. Harley, Co. d, 4th
Mich, tells the story pretty correctly, ex-
cept in one very important particular.
Instead of the 9th Mass, it was the
18th n. Y, now known as the Old Thir-
teenth, of Rochester, n. Y, that charged
through the timber and captured those
800 prisoners.
The 44th n. Y. had charged to the tim
Der, recapturing Griffin's Battery, that
had just been taken by the enemy. They
then fell back, leaving many dead on the
field. l helped bury % in one grave the
next day. Our loss in the 18th during
the whole engagement was only one
wounded.
Gen. Porter came along and asked our
Colonel, Marshall, if he could support the
battery. He replied:
Hitch on your horses, and 60 on with
your old gig. Well follow you to -
We passed beyond the, battery, going
over the ground charged over by the 44th
n. Y, and strewn with their dead, and
charged through the timber, taking some
prisoners; after which we came in sight
of the enemy, who, displaying no colors,
we were in doubt about. Some of our
men called to our color-bearer, Jack Hal
liday: ,orIf s..
"Shake her out, Jack; shake her out;
and let's see who they are"
AS he shook out the colOrs we could see
the enemy preparing to fire. Just then
our Colonel cried: on %

even reloading. Then our Colonel called
out:

We did SO, with deadly effect.
The battle lasted about 20 minutes, in
which their Colonel fell, pierced by 13
balls. / afterwards learned he was Col.

Tne 9th Mass. may have been excellent
baseball players, but they were not in this
particular game To the 18th N. Y. be-
longs the honor of taking those 800 pris-
oners and closing the battle, although in
