sharpshoot,ug at yicksburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: During
the siege of Vicksburg about 10 days be-
fore the surrender, Lieut.. Col. Frisbie,
commanding the 31th ILL.,, selected the
writer to do some sharpshOOting. l took
a Colts five-shot rifle and went to the top
of a ridge between camp and the rebel
works. A small cut ran down the hill
straight to the center of q rebel fort at
the bottom, about 80 rods away. Our
guard line ran across this ditch, about half
way up and when the relief went on, some
rebs, who had cut out a diamond-shaped
rifle pit outside the fort, would fire on
them. An old log lay across the ditch
near the top of the hill. Arranging. some
chunks and brush to protect my legs l
proceeded to drive the rebels out from
their hiding place. Col. Frisbie stood off
one side with his field glass to note where
the first ball struck. First ball six inches
too low in center" The other four shots
went into the pit. While reloading the
rebels started into the fort. l pulled on
the last man that went over. Lieut.-Col.
Frisbie can tell you how he delivered up
his gun. / was declared the best shot in
the regiment at Camp Cassville, Mo.
At the battle of Prairie Grove l assist
ed Col Black to a house in the rear to re-
ceive surgical attention. The wounded, ly-
ing unattended outside, called, Patrick,

so general that l stepped back to. the
house and asked Col. Black what should
do. ATTEND them as long as you are
able" said the Colonel. So 1 built big
rail fire and brought water from a spring
across the road and gave the poor wound,

God bless you, Patrick" were the last
words spoken that cold and dreary night
by those who went to sleep on earth but
woke before morning in heaven. That
night l slept in the mud near the ash pile,
roasting on one side and freezing on the
other. About half the wounded died be-
fore morning, with only the poor care ]
could give them. We had had no sleep for
40 hours; had marched 40 miles and
fought from 10 a. m. to dark.-WM. NJ

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In reply
to Comrade A. b. Caldwell, Hutchinson.
Kan, relative to the sharpshooters sent
out by Gen. Sickles to explore the woods
along Seminary Ridge on the forenoon of
July 2 at Gettysburg, allow me to state
that my knowledge ON this point is derived
from my visit to the field in 1900, and not
from a personal knowledge of the troops
actually comprising Sickles's Corps. 1
found in the woods on the western slope
of Seminary Ridge about half mile north
of the Wheatfield Road, monuments defn-
ing a skirmish line, the lettering of which
showed them to belong to the "1st VT,
Sd Me. and 1st N. Y. Sharpshooters. l
made note of this at the time. Possibly
the Vermont and New York companies
of Berdan's Sharpshooters were intended,
but l cannot see how the same could ap-
ply to the Sd Me. l simply noted it as
read it from the inscriptions on those
monuments, my object being to show
where this skirmish occurred and not the
names and numbers of the troops engaged
therein. Berdan's SharpshoOters were
never a part of the First Corps, and l had
no opportunity to "cOnfound them with
New York troops. ."-R. X. BEECHAM.

Death of Gen. ,mcpherson.

EDITOR NATIoNAL. TRIBUNE: l was
very much pleased with the account of the
battle of Atlanta, Ga, July u and %, by
Gen. Green 3. Raum. 1t is correct
statement. as far us l have personal
knowledge, and the only one that l
have read in the many accounts for
years past, and particularly as regards the
death of Gen. Mcpherson. At the time
of the battle, July % was Senior Med
ical Officer of the Third Brigade, Third
Division, Nineteenth Corps, and our hos
pital was down in the ravine in the rear
Of Leggett's Hill, and when we were
fianked and had to fall back on the De-
catur road l met Gen. Mcpherson with
one orderly, and in less than five min
utes his horse came back and l ordered
my orderly to catch the horse and place
Capt. Pat Ayres, of the 31st, on him, as he
was suffering from the effects of sun
stroke and had been with me for day or
SO; and when we got out to the Decatur
road Gen. McPhersons escort took pos
session of the horse, and in a short time
an ambulance arrived with his body. Now,
these are facts, Notwithstanding the many
false statement about Gen. McPherson's
death.-WM. A. GORDON, Surgeon 30th
