EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Thomas McElwain. who wants to know
the name of the soldier that volunteered
to throw back the hand grenades thrown
from Fort Hill. is wrong in his premises.
The mine was exploded June 25. not May
22. Gen. Logan never called for volun
teer to throw hand-grenades. Many SOL
| diers on both sides We're engaged in the
game" Self-preservation being the first
law of Nature, the missiles were tossed
back and forth without any special orders
| from officers.
When the mine had been exploded. two
regiments-31st and 45th IlI-were or
dered into the crater. Probably one COM
pany from each of these regiments actual
~ made the charge. Ny memory NAV be
| slightly at fault. l know, however, that
the two regiments had been kept near by,
under cover, for the express purpose Of
charging the rebels Immediately after the
explosion.
| The Confederates desperately fought to
eSpel our troops from the crater, but
failed. They then retired behind their
new line, from the parapet of which they
| threw hand-grenades. Our men returned
the compliment, but in the game the
rebels had the advantage. They could lay
| their grenades on the parapet and roll
them down upon our men, who, in return
| ing the compliment, had to throw them
| over the parapet, the elevation being con-
| siderable.
Our Men were supplied with grenades Of
| two kinds-the one with fuse, the other
with percussion cap and feather If the
| one with fuse did not explode. the rebels
threw it back. On the other hand, when
the Confederates threw grenade with
| lighted fuse into our ranks it was thrown
back, provided the fuse had not burned
| too short.
| . Lieut.-Col. John D. Rees, commanding
the 31st ILL.,, was mortally wounded by a
grenade that exploded against his side.
Capt. Casey, also. was killed. Both regi-
ments lost number of men, how many I
do not remember. At the. time of the
charge l was the senior Captain of the
31st III.
When night came we endeavored to
make ourselves more secure against the
missiles of the active enemy by running
trenches along the outer base of their par
apet. right and left. but the work was i'm
practicable. as the Confederates continued
/ to throw their grenades and even brought
up boxes of field ammunition, fuse shells,
which, lighted with post-fires, they threw
by hand into our ranks.-S. H. ALMoN,

guns, caissOns, horses. officers and men,
was placed on board a transport, a Louis
vile and Jacksonville ferryboat, and pro
ceedei down the Ohio River, thence up the
Cumberland to Fort Donelson. From
there we went to Nashville. thence to
Pittsburg Landing, thence to Corinth, and
then back to Nashville.
Shortly before the surrender of Vicks-

GLOOM IN NASHVILLE:
"The depression which the news of the
fall of Donelson produced was deepened
by the gloom which hung over Nashville
when the troops entered the city. 1t is i'm
possible to describe the scene. Disasters
were then new to us, and our people had
been taught to believe them impossible. No
subsequent reverse, although fraught with
far more real calamity, ever created the
sorrow and wild CONSERVATION that swept
over the South with the news of the sur
render of Donelson. And in Nashville,
sure to fall next and speedily, an anguish
and terror were felt and expressed scarce
ly to be conceived by those who have not
witnessed similar scene. All the worst
evils that follow in the train of war and
subjugation seemed to be anticipated by
the terrified people. and the feeling was
quickly communicated to the troops, and
grew with every hour until it assumed al
most the proportions of a panic. The Ten

Fruits Of Gettysburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t has
been said that the history of the war of
the rebellion would never be written until
written by the soldiers of the rank and
file of the army. This is in the main true,
Notwithstanding the articles that some
times appear in the columns of the press
by men who served in the ranks, and yet
are so poorly posted in regard to events
of the war as to give out statements that
are unwarranted. For instance, the arti-
Gle that appears in your last issue by Com
rade John Palmer, of Normal, ILL.,, who
says that the fruits of the splendid victory
at Gettysburg We're lessened by the fact
that among other advantages gained by
Lee was a tribute of 100000 that was
paid by the citizens of Chambersburg to
the rebel chief
Now the facts are that not one dollar
was contributed by the people of this
town. If Gen. Lee received that amount,
or any other amount, he stole it. for / per-
sOnally know that the citizens did not give
ono cent The banks and those who had
means ut the time of the invasion of Penn
sylvania had ample time to fix things, so
that no money fell into the hands of the
enemy; and so far as the 10000 militia
doing service at the battle of Gettysburg,
l doubt if they were in it at all. What is
the use of raising questions now as to the
merits or dement's of either branch of the
army? All We're entitled then. and are
now, to all that can be said of their vic
tories and services, and the old Army of
the Potomac. needs no defenders at this
date to prove that it and its leaders
achieved glorious results both at Gettys-
burg and everywhere else. and no army
followed the plume of the immortal Grant
with more bravery or grander results than
did the Army of the Potomac.-C. C. HAS
