ARTILLERY AT MISSION RIDGE.
Effective Work of Howes Battery, 4th q. 9.
Art .... ....,.,l. .s

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Gen.
Green b. Raum makes one serious mis-
take in his account of the battle Of Mis-
sionary Ridge in The National Tribune o.
May o. He says: 1T is a remarkable
feature in this great battle that no ar
tilIery went forward with the assaulting
column. The Confederate works We're
carried and the victory won with the mus
ket." This is doing a great injustice to
one Of the finest batteries in the army
Howe's old Battery g, 4th u. S. Art, of
Schurzs Division, Eleventh Corps, tenn
porarily attached to Sheridan's Division.
When the 18th Ind. started up Mission
Ridge, followed on each flank by the rest
of Wagner's Brigade, Sheridan saw that
it would be impossible to recall them. and
Immediately ordered forward Howe's Bat
terry to engage the guns at Bragg's head
quarters. They came to the breastworks
at the foot of the Ridge in a galop, and
went into action. firing over the heads Of
Wagner's Brigade, and almost the first
shot exploded a caisson near Bragg's
headquarters. Their four 12-pounders and
two howitZers made music for those 10
guns at Bragg's headquarters, and with
ont them the Ridge would hardly have
been carried, for had Wagner's Brigade
been driven back the rest of the Fourth
Corps, who were starting up on their
right and left, would have been dlScour-
aged. They kept firing until most of the
rebel guns were slenced and Wagner's
Brigade had got in the line of danger
from their fire. This was the only bat
terry on the fighting line at that battle
They We're clear up TO the foot of the Ridge
and had the advantage of the rebel guns
1 trust that Gen. Raum will look at the
official reports and give this splendid bat
terry full credit. A. p. Howe was not
with them. having been made Brigadier-
General of volunteers some time previous:
but whoever commanded the battery knew
his business, as did every officer and man
with him, and they certainly did noble
work. In some accounts of the battle it
is stated that the guns at Fort Wood
fired on the rebel batteries at Bragg's
headquarters while Sheridan's men were
going up, firing over their heads and
silencing guns etc. This is not So The
work was done by the battery mention,
which was within 600 yards of the rebel
guns, while Fort Wood was two and a
half miles distant from them, and It
would have been extremely dangerous to
fire over a line of battle so far in front
OF them.-Wm. e. Doyle, Stevensburg,

FORT GREGG.
An Ohio Veteran Tells Of the Charge and
Losses of His Regiment.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some of
the boys who were ut Fort Gregg must
have been fearfully excited or they have
become meanly selfish in these latter days,
providing, of course, that they have not
forgotten. There was glcry enough in
that fight for all engaged in it. A peculiar
feature OF the controversy is that most of
the men who are making all the claims
for their commands, do not even know
what brigades or what divisions they
were In. Not satisfied with taking all the
credit that belongs equally to the First
Brigade and First Division of the Twenty
fourth Corps, they are trying to claim to
be that brigade. The boys who wore the
red heart will not stand for that.
d. Alverson, 15Sth n. Y, says that his
regiment was In the First Brigade, First
Division. Twenty-fourth Corps, and that
they supported West Virginia troops at
the charge and designates the 10th and
18th w. Va. as those troops. Comrade
Alvcrson's regiment was in the Fourth
Brigade, Col. Fairchild's and the 10th
and 18th W. Va. were In Harris's Third
Brigade, Turner'S Independent Division,
and were in the charge on Baldwin, and
not in the charge on Gregg.
W. II. Hill; 12sd Ohio. calls Potter's
pendent Division, the First Brigade Of the
First Division. And yet these men never
were In the First Division,

What Irrigation Means.

The National lIomemakcr has the
following interesting article on irriga-
ton in recent issue:
y full understanding of the present
situation demands that some fundamcn-
tai facts should be first clearly SGT forth.
First. What is it that this nat ional
irrigation movement is seeking to ac-
compli9h?
We find an object lesson at Billings.
Mont. which business men and states
men should study. The most apathctic
Of them would be awakened by it to Il
realization of the gigantic national i'm
portancc OF this movement.
At Billings, 60, 900 acres of absolutely
arid land has been brought under ditch.
/. u. O'DonnclI. one of ting leading cti-
zcns of that place, furnished the follow
ing remarkable figures and facts in an
address before the Trans Mississippi
Commercial Congress at Cripple Creek.
last July:
II can in no better way explain the
results of irrigation than reciting my
own experience in feeding and hand
ling stock, both ON the irrigated farm
and the range. The particular part Of
the Yellowstone valley to which will
refer is about an average of our great
state. 1t consists Of go. 600 acres of land
which. before it was irrigated. only
supported the buffalo and the antelope.
After about eighteen years of toll and
the usual experiences OF pioneer NE,
we have the following results to sub
nit: Sixty thousand acres of land $50
per acre. 81 500. 600: 2JO. 900 sheep win
