trOOped out for dinner. Unlike the
others, Richards always ate his lunch
at the office, ostensibly because of the
distance to his home. In reality he
knew it was dread of the oppressive
memories which the place recalled,
and from which he could find partial
relief in incessant activity and atten-
ton to his work. It was only last
New Years that he had laid away
the bright-eyed, joyous wife who had
been his companion and helpmeet.
and while the bells were pealing forth
in joyous promise they seemed to
sound the knell for his own dead
heart, buried forever. Richards had
been a different man from that time.
and he knew it. He was thinking of
that while his fellow printers passed
the little board partition behind
which he had retired for his lunch.
Two of them were talking about him,
AMI he could distinguish their words.
"Old Richards is little crankier
than usual to-day" young Gaynor was
saying. what do You suppose is the

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE; Having
enlisted in Co. D, of the 25th Ohio, which
was encamped at the time Of my enlist
ment ON Cheat Mountain, three of us
started from Bridgeport, o., to join the
regiment. About that time the company
"a. c. Johnson's) had been transferred
and given a battery, and had gone to Ohio
River to get guns and horses. We went
to Beverly and there waited till the COM
pany came back. Thence We started on
the march, crossing Cheat Mountain, on
through Monterey to Mcdowell. There
Gen. Milroy's forces were gathered.
The 32d Ohio, battery, and some cav
airy started out on reconnaissance TO-
ward Staunton. They were soon driven
back, however, and reported large force
only q few miles away. We could have
easily gotten away, but Gen. Milroy
would not consent to a retreat. Next day
Gen. Schenck joined forces with Milroy.
NV understanding has always been. that
Schenck outranked Milroy and that
Schenck advised retreat. Miroy, told
Schenck he could go where he pleased
with his troops, but as for himself and
his troops they would fight. Be this is it
may, Schenck started west, and Milroy

a section of our battery 18th OhioD
went along. but the mountain road was
too steep for climbing with artillery;
therefore, the guns had to be hauled Up
with ropes and by hand. I think a com.

mountain and in line of battle was the
2Jth Ohio, 13d Ohio, and a part of the
32d Ohio / think there was still another
regiment, but do not remember what one.
Our two guns, however. soon got to work,
and l think the troops engaged will say
that had it not been for those guns the
infantry would soon have been completely
surrounded or driven off the mountain.
Gen. Schenck, seeing it was going hard
with Milroy, returned with his forces,
covering Milroy's right flank, which the
Johnnies seemed determined to turn. Our
forces kept up good fight till after dark,
when a silent and quick retreat was COM
menced. We reached Franklin and

posed to guy and tantalize Hanson's men,
especially when they saw them begin TO

of them were excellent marksmen with

Ing the Gettysburg fight; but we do not
claim to have done any more than other
regiments who helped TO defeat Lee. We
never had newspaper reporter to boost
us at home. nor political tricksters at
Washington to pull the wires for promot-
ing fayorites; but we knew regiments that
had and whose officers stole the thunder
that belonged to more deserving men.
ComTade Goldsmith has said that at

received news that there had been fighting
at Gettysburg and that Gen. Reynolds
had been killed. The Tooth Pa. heard
that fighting was going on the same day
between and o'clock in the morning
and was pushing toward the conflict, after
having had only abo't two hours rest
since daylight June 80 Some comrade
has said we made about 80 miles, but |
do know we were footsore and weary,
covered with dust, and had marched
through heat almost unbearable; be-
tween the persplration and our old friends,
the graybacks, who stuck to US closer
than brother, we were glad when we
ran against the Johnnies.
The Army of the Potomac had headed
off Lee. and to the First and Eleventh
Corps belongs the honor Of having made
a stubborn and brave fight beyond ~
around the town, making it possible for
Hancock, SlOcum, SickleS and other Cen
erals to seize and hold a line Of defense
which Gen. Meade afterwards approved
and upon which he defeated his willy op-
pcnent.

regiments that took part in that battle,
