In colonial days silk thread was worth
81 per ounce, and it was very much the
style for women of wealth and refine
ment to be seen spinning their own silk
for fancy work. In 1880 craze was de-
veloped in this country for the raising of
silk worms. Although this industry came
to very Improbable end between the
years 1899 and 1S43, it originated certain
business concerns which struggled on
through the years of slow growth until
the protective policy adopted subsequent
to 1860 ushered in a more prosperous era.
The industry Is now firmly established.
Inasmuch as the United States is on an
equal footing with European countries
in the matter of raw materials, the future

company, among whom was Edward O.

There are two little mistakes In 1t
which I feel he will thank me for correct
ing. First, the number of engagements
In which the 18th participated, which l
regard as a typographical error, should be

Comrade Cook will remember-commaEd-

every survivor should feel justly proud.

Hand-.o-Haud Fighting.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: was
especially interested In Gen. Powelrs de-
scription of Charlottesville. I well re-
member some of the incidents narrated by
him. When the Eleventh Corps gave
way we ran down to the Plank Road, and,
after considerable maneuvering, went into
the works Of the First Division. Twelfth
Corps, where we remained that night.
The next morning the Goth N. Z.
was placed at right angles to the 1O2d
N. Y. on its left, for the purpose OF
gathering in fugitives as they passed
down the line While thus formed Lieut..
Davis, of Gen. Geary's staff, rode up to
tell us that everything was going ell right;
that all deDeBded on our ability to hold
our part Of the line.
Soon after a line Of infantry came into
sight. They were wearing blue coats and
their flags were rolled, so we hesitated
about firing, thinking they might be our
own men. They advanced rapidly, hr1ng
a volley and ordering US to surrender.
Their attack was directed against the
works close to tho 102d n. Y. Dur
ing the hand-to-hand encounter Capt.
Clayton called: "Sixtieth n. Y, come
and help usH'
We rushed to the assistance of the 102d
n. Y, driving back the repel line. Inc
102d n. Y. secured a rebel flag and some
prisoners. Not being supported, the two
regiments soon retired, as the rebels were
advancing on both tanks and would soon
have cut eff our retreat.
When near the Plank Road we re-
formed our line and fired yolley at the
pursuing rebels. Their color-bearer fell
with the flag. Just then our batteries
Joined In, using grape and canister.
As to the Goth n. Y. being taken prls-
oners that is as near as we came to being
captured. There were seme men taken
prisoners, escaped, were retaken, and
again escaped.
l have always believed Co. B lost more
men than any other company. Whsr we
crossed the Plank Road four men we're
carrying a wounded comrade. The five
were taken prisoners and another man
was taken prisoner about the same time.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In re-
sponse to the story of Capt. Mcnamara
and the inquiry of Comrade Z. a. Wright,
permit me to say that there was only one
Col Edward y. Baker Senator from Ore
goD and California. Col. Baker was COM
missioned by President Lincoln to raise
regiment and afterward a brigade, TO be
armed and equipped and credited to the
State of California.
The first regiment was recruited early
in April, 1861, mainly in Philadelphia.
This command was known as the 1st Cal.
and afterward the list Pa. This regi-
ment went to New York and shortly after
ward to Virginia, and was fired on at or
near Bailey's Crossroads; but l believe
the Captain Is mistaken as to the blunder
occurring on Oct. %, 1861, as IN all prob
ability the mistake occurred in August of
that year. / will tell why. When our
regiment (the 5th Cal, afterward known
as the 106tb Pal arrived in camp on
Oct. 3, 1861, at Poolesville, Md, the LIST
Cal and the ID Cal were there In camp,
and the 1st Cal. did not leave the brigade
or go into Virginia until the whole brigade
moved, with the exception of the time
they met the whole Of the Army of North
ern Virginia at Balls Bluff. After the or
ganization OF the 1st Cal (71st Pa.) Col.
Baker returned to Philadelphia and organ
izbed the three other regiments, the I'd
Cal. (sfterward known as the I'D Pal
the Sd Cal. (afterward known as the Goth
Pa,l, and, as above stated, the 1o6th Pa.
or the 5th Gal
After the death Of Col Baker at Balls
Bluff our whole brigade was claimed by
Cor. Curtin, and interest in us as Cali
fornians was gone, and we were ever af-
terward known as the Philadelphia Bri-
gade.
The remains of Col. Baker lie here in
the cemetery of San Francisco.
Some wag niek-named our brigade the
First Gal, Owens Regulars, Bakers
Zouaves, and Morehead's BIaziers.
This brigade had several commanders
during its service, among them Col u. d.
Baker, Gen. w. w. Burns, Gen. 0. o.

times, Joshua T. Owen, Colonel Goth Pa.

commotion Saturday evening when

saw Jackson's command, hour after hour,

Of it? The fair-minded reader always

that it is proposed to change the uniform
of the Umied States Army. As an old
soldier / wish to give my views on this
subject, as l think. change necessary,
by all means, so as TO make the soldier
presentable. The present dress.coat worn
by officers and enlisted men should be
replaced by neat tunic, with braid to
correspond with the different arms of
service The stripe now worn by nom
commissioned officers should be abolished
ard a cord running down the seam of the
trousers substituted. Officers should wear
the broad stripe only. The fatigue cap now
worn is unmilitaryYin Every sense of the
word, and a cap such as is now worn by
the French army should be adopted The
helmet is an abomination on the head of
an American soldier. Adopt a shake with
pompon. A Federal law should be passed
against any person not United States
soldier or National Guardsman wearing
the uniform or any part thereof. Such
should be considered an offense and pun

ways interested in original ideas and
sketches, and it is only by this means that
the whole truth can be obtained. 1t
makes no difference il it is 40 years since
the commencement of the war, and we
must bear in mind that the majority Of
the actors in that great war drama have
not yet made their report. There are
many who took an active part in skir-
mishes and battles who, il they could be
induced 70 speak, could throw much light
on dark subjects. For instance, | would
like 20 see fair report, If possible, by an
eyewitness, of the killing OF Lieut. Col.
Edgar A. Kimball, April II, 1863, ard,
if any, who were the witnesses TO appear

EDITOR NATIONAL ITRIeUNE: In "Sad
Days at Charlottesville, by Gen. Powell
in The National Tribune Of Nov. Il,
find the following:
But while contemplating some such
movement, he tGen. Hooker) received
Rappahannock, and had returned to his
former quarters at Falmouth"
Further on he quotes Gen. Hooker as
saying: can equal misfortune overlook
me on my left, by the undecided course
taken by Gen. Sedgwick, and
when ! did get definite information from
him it was that he had recrossed the Rap
pahannoek," etc.
As a man who carried a musket in the
Sixth Corps during the, Charlottesville
campaign, wish to enter an emphatic
protest against the foregoing statement.
The Sixth Corps crossed the Kappa
hammock on May 1 at Franllin's Crossing,
and was in position there until after dark
of the I'd, when it moved by right flank,
entered Fredericksburg at daybreak Of
the Sd, driving out the Johnnies. Our
brigade was on the left, and passed
through the city, Gu the eastern outskirts,
driving the enemy through the city and
over the nights with only small loss.
Soon we were transferred to the right
and moved out to Salem Church, where
we found the enemy forming TO resist our
advance, which was Immediately ordered,
and right there occurred some of the most
sanguinary lighting of the war. My regi-
ment alone lost FIVE killed, 44 wounded
and IA missing or prisoners out of barely
300 engaged, Inside of one hour. But it
svailed nothing. The right of the army
at Charlottesville had been fought to a
standstill, and an overwhelming force Of
rebs was in eur front on the morning of
May 4, and also in cur rear in Fredericks-
burg About o'clock in the afternoon
they attacked us in force, but we held our
ground until dark.
Soon after dark we started for Kelly's
Ford, and on the morning of the 9th what
was left Of the Sixth Corps crossed at
that place, being the last to do so.
/ think this should dispose of the story,
now started after 3S years have passed,
that the Sixth Corps failed to perform its
duty at Charlottesville ID.
