The Fighting at Monocacy.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: see in
the issue of Nov. 6, Comrade Garlinger,
Carthage, Mo-, member of the 10th
Ohio, claims that his Third) Division,
Sixth Army Corps, held Gen. Early's
whole army at bay July 8, at Monocacy,
and saved Washington City. l do not
wish to detract any glory from the Third
Division of that grand old Sixth Corps,
but, comrade, really, you claim too much
when you claim you did it all. Please
tell us who held the line north Of the B.
L. o. II. r., and who held the Stone
Bridge when your grand division was on
the retreat. Remember cOmrade, there
is honor enough for all who were at Mon
ocacy July 8, 1864, for history atlirms the
fact that we saved Washington City from
capture, but to be just as well as brave
you must admit there We're other troops
at Monocacy besides the Third Division,
Sixth Corps, who acted their part like
good soldiers. See Gems. Wallace's and
Tyler's reports for the truth of my claim

ferring to this matter in his Memoirs,
page 313 of volume 2, Gen. Grant says:
Burnside selected the Colored Division
to make the assault, hut Meade interfered
with this. Burnside then took Ledl;e's
DivisiOn-a worse selection than the first
could have BEEN Now, is it possible to
suppose that the Fourth Division had been
drilled for weeks to make n certain as
saut, and that Gen. Meade changed the
order and substituted another division
that had not been drilled on the eve of
battle? If he did-and the Fourth Di-
vision could not have drilled for weeks for
any purpose without Meade knowing it
then Gen. Meade was bigger chump
than | ever took him to be.
Gen. Grant further says on page 80,
same volume: Il gave Meade minute or
ders on the 9th. directing how l wanted
the assault conducted. which orders he
amplitied into general instructions for the
guidance of the troops that were to be ell
gagged. 1t must be conceded, l think.
that Gen. Grant knew what he was talk
ing about, and it certainly appears from
his Memoirs that at least the four Di-
vision Generals of the Ninth Corps. viz,
Potter, Wilcox, Ledlie and FerrerO, knew
exactly what was expected of each of
them and Of the troops under their com
manl.

The death Of Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage

among thousands, probably we could
truthfully say millions of people. The

shamed the success of the largest sell

fortnight he remained there he recu-
perated with wonderful rapldity. Hun
ger and the severity Ut the fever had
weakened him both physically and
mentally. and the interest OF the farmer
and his neighbors led them to debate
the advisability OF sending MIR. Altgeld
into the city and procuring his admis-
sion to one of the city hospitals for
treatment. Young Altgeld holly OPP
posed the wishes Of his new friends on
this point. and. fearing they would
send him away without his consent, re-
solved to go away himself. He quit
the farmhouse late one night, and some
weeks later appeared on the streets OF
St Joseph. Mo. He had trnmped the
entire distance. His clothes were In
tatters and In place OF shoes he had
his feet bound up In rags. his shoes

nttired he started out to get situa-

finally. in Andrew county. he obtained
work OH the farm of Henry Mueller,
who gave him his lodgings for his Ia
Dor. He chopped wood all the first
morning Of his stay. and at noon sat
down to rest and told Of his troubles
and travels. Mueller became interest

that there was metal of worth In the

was aroused. and he made him mem

turned and his recovery was complete
