Commander and Comrades: You
have asked me to give you my ex-
perience in removing the wounded of
my brigade from Corinth Miss, after
the disastrous battles fought there
Oct, 3rd and 4th, 1862 by the Con-
federates under General Earl Van
dorm. Of the desperate charges
made by our men against the enemy's
breast works; line after line Of which
they carried, until checked on the
second day by the enemy, concentrate
ing their entire force on the almost
impregnable position of College Hill
| have nothing to say but leave to
some of our comrades who were pres
ent and took part in that awful
struggle, my field hospital was on a
small creek Immediately behind our
brigade line of battle, where there
was shade and water. The infrurany
corps ambulace drivers and asst.
surgeons were informed where to
bring the wounded. The surgeons of
the brigade then set to,w9rk to pre-
pare for the wounded that we knew
would soon be on hand, improvising
tables from wagon beds or any pieces
Of board we could get, Or door Of a
house IL any was near, having pots Of
water boiled, buckets Of cold water
set handy, instrument and bandages
put in order. We had no tents. In
the mean time the battle had opened
and was Waging in our front. By
the time our crude preparations were
finished, the wounded commenced COM
ing, in those who could walk, on foot
others in ambuntance, some in wsg-
ons, as we had but few ambuntances
The men were taken out and laid on
the grown in the shade of trees, and
the conveyances sent back for others.
Now came hard work for the surgeons
first in the ignating arteries that
we're bleeding, cutting out bullets
that could be felt, laying aside, often
a hurried examination, those requir-
ing a capital operation, until the rush
was over, splinting and bandaging
broken limbs that might be saved. |
Late in the night, working by candle
light. We finished, first work, whit
the lot Of wounded and the poor fell
lows as comfortable as we could with
the scant means at hand, lying on
the bare ground with only their one
blanket around them. Fortunately
It was not cold, early the next
the battle reopened and all
through the day the wounded con-
5inued to come in, though not SO nu-
nerous as the day before, the artil-
cry doing most of the fighting in our
'ront. The infantry supporting it.
About A o'clock in the afternoon /

wounded, who could bear transporter

Best Previous Record Was 100000 Tons
Others Need It More Than New Workers.

notwithstanding the apparent scarcity Of
coal attributed generally to the demand brought
about by the cold snap. il was learned yester-
day that the quantity of anthracite mined is
fully up to the normal. representative of the
Erie Railroad Company said yesterday that the
output for last month at the mines of the COM

The normal output is 100000 tons a month. "
he said 'and in April last, when anticipated
a strike, a special effort was made to mine
plenty OF coal, resulting in 100000 tons being
mined for the month. This we thought q good
showing but last month beat il and mined
100000 tons, which is, believe. the largest out
put in any single month yet
The scarcity Of coal, he said. was largely en-
hanced by the demand caused by the cold snap.
Regarding the distribution of the coal, he said
a good deal had 10 be sent to other places much
