We would remind those who
intend leaving orders this spring
in this department OF the advan-
tage of doing so at an early date,
while the assortment Of fabrics to
select rom is complete, and un-
usual care can be given to the ex-

An increase already over the
corresponding weeks OF last year in
this department leads us to en-
phasize at this time the Importance
OF having orders placed early.
We hardly need to remind our
customers that all our clothing is

fcrred TO this fact in an article published
in The National Tribune about a month
ago, and ! did not think it necessary to
repeat. In further reply to the historian S
statement that | have not hOnored my own
regiment, beg to say that if he will find
any members of my regiment (the Ith Ohio
CaV.), who will confirm his statement,
will give him SO for each one he produces.
In conclusion permit me to say that il
some comrade in writing for The National
Tribune happens TO mention a siX-rail
fence, others rise up and try to prove that
there were only five rails in the fence,
while, as a matter Of fact, nobody cares
whether there were six rails or five.
may say that this spirit of faut-fnding is
injurious in that it prevents old soldiers
from writing "reminiscences of their per

An officer of the ath Tenn. Believes 10 600 or
More Men Were Engaged at Blue Sp. ings.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Both
| Capt. Allen and Mr.. MoSgrOve are under
rather than over in their estimates of
troops present or available in ease Of need
and fast coming on the ground and form
ing for action. / do not have at hand the
field reports of any commands admitted to
have been there, so will not attempt to tell
more than | know. Let us assume that
the strength of the cavalry arm, which did
the principal part of the actual fighting,
has been correctly reported, and that the
Historian of the 1ith Ill. Cav. is correct
in his estimate of the Ninth Corps. he is
away off when he-makes the reference to
the Twenty-third Corps troops present as
being the command of Gen. Carter. as the
entire Third Division of that Corps was
there, followed closely by WilcOX's COM
mand from Bulls Gap. The first Brigade,
composed of the Tooth, 103d and the 104th
Ohio, the 18th and 10th Ky, the Sth Tenn.
(of which this writer was an officer and
| Provost-Afarshal in the field for the said
| Third Division, came on the field about
| 10 O'Clock O. III. and formed first on the
| high ground west of the Blue Spring."
| later passed through the village. turning
| to the left up d smart hill, formed line on
| the right of some command of the Ninth
| Corps and nearly parallel with the wagon
road, our right being about a haff mile
from the spring. Here we fired a few long
range shots at line of skirmishers
| located in the timber between the rail and
dirt road. and received two or three shells
from gun farther east. These were
copper flange percussion shell of small
caliber. But being an infantryman, l
never could tell the size of n shell without
measuring it. Usually being along with
my regiment, was never able to tell what
other troops were present, only in 4 gen.
eral way.
| In this position we could plainly see the
operations of some Union Cavalry, but
will not attempt to say TO what regiment
they belonged. We remained in this line
until the fight was over, and did little more
than stand ready.
The six regiments of our brigade were
strong, comparatively full, and numbered
but little less than 1000 present for duty.
And, now, from personal knowledge of the
various commands on or coming on the
field, l am sure that the statement of 1O,-
900 available troops is not too large. As
| TO our brigade being present. | cannot be
mistaken, as familiarity before and since
the war with every inch of the ground
made it interesting to me and consequently
more distinct impression of the facts. In
our second line Gen. Burnside and staff
came to our front and remained for some
