Paul Gabel, who died IN New York
recently at the age Of 81, is reputed to
have been the originator in America
of the "delieatassen" store. He was a

afternoon of May 81. We came out with

Our noble Col Bailey was shot through
the head at the redoubt. Some of our

formed line along the road, and brought
our Spencers into play, so occupying the
attention of the rebels that they did not
discover the approach of our assistance
until they dashed to the front and the
three regiments charged them.
We found them too strong for us. but
we held our position until the entire divi-
sion was sent forward, when, after a
stubborn resistance, they were driven
from the field, leaving their dead and
wounded.

SERVICE OF I'D IND.
The Limping Squad Wishes to Tender Thanks


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: When l
remember the battles reported by COM
rades, the elaborate details in every part
of the field, am compelled to acknowi-
edge my utter incOmpetency In that re-
spect, as always found enough to take
I'D my entire time and utmost endeavor
in my own immediate neighborhood. |
will only try to give limited synopsis OF
the service Of my regiment, in all OF which
1 bore an humble part. "
Our first smell of powder was a private
scrap with some of our own troops, at
Glasgow, No.. usually called the Paw
Paw fight, where there was deadly
blunder by somebody. We were on an ex-
pedition to relieve Col. Mulligan at Boone
vile, No.. and in the night two detach-
ments of Federal troops We're landed with
out each others knowledge, to reconholter
the village of Glasgow. The result was
that several soldiers We're sacrificed;
among them our own Major. Gordon Tan
ner. We saw active service in Missouri,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, keil-
lucky, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, and marched on to the
Grand Review at Washington, having
participated in the important battles of
Pea Ridge, Ark: Corinth, Miss; Iuka
River, Tenn: Chickamauga. Ga; Mission
Ridge, Ga; Rome, Ga, and nearly all OF
the battles resulting in the fall of Atlanta,
including Kenesaw, Peach Tree Creek
(which we crossed on the 10Th and other
troops on the 20th), the battles in front
Of Atlanta and Jonesboro; thence to the
sea.
The last battle we were engaged in was
Bentonville, n. C.
am unable to give more than 4 very
meager account of any one of these en-
gagements, as a whole, baving been al
ways so thoroughly taken up with that
part of the work in my immediate front
that l hadn't time to look for the other
fellows Taking all these things into con-
sideration, am at loss to conceive of
any soldier being competent witness as
to what passed at a distance to either the
right or left of his own position.
But, lest l be accused of criticism, L
will change the subject by asking Il ques-
tion: Who among your readers was on
the cavalry rear-guard on the day that
we crossed st. Francis River. while on
the march from Arkansas through Mis-
souri, to Cape Girardeau, to reinforce
Grant at Shiloh? If any reader was,
ask him: Do you remember the ragged,
barefooted Sergeant and his squad who
were limping along, marking every step
with blood. when you took pity on them
and told them to ride your horses until
they crossed the river and to then tie the
animals and hobble along? And did You
find your horses before you got to camp?
Well. will take this opportunity to say
for that squad: Thanks. awfully! That
was n fine ride indeed-and each indi-
vidual belonging to that rear-guard was,
is and ever will be. both gentleman and
scholar-JAs. HARMAN, Sergeant, Co.

Tho March to the Sea.

d. ]. Letter, Georgesyille, Ohio, wants
to know just what passed between Gems.
Grant and Sherman with regard to the
march to the sea. HIS memory is that
there was conference held between them
on boat coming Up the Ohio River, and
Sherman then outlined his plan. This
may or may not have been the case. That
Sherman would take his army off some
where after capturing. Atlanta everybody
felt sure; just where, was the disturbing
question. Sherman himself hardly knew
when he started out from Atlanta, wheth-
er he would go to Mobile, down the Chat
tahoochee or strike. off by the way of Au-
gusta in South Caroiinn and come out on
the coast above Charleston. Gen. Grant
fully approved of the plan Of marching
through to the sea somewhere, but he
wanted Sherman to settle Hood before he
started. Sherman had some trouble In
persuading him that It would not be wise
to follow Hood in his raid to the Ohio,
making stern chase oyer the exhausted
country. He believed that he could send
back Thomas, who, with some Of the
troops and such az could be sent him from
other points, could head of Hood, leav-
Ing Sherman free to march with the rest
OF the army where he would. After the
march had begun circumstances dictated
that 1t was best to 60 to Savannah, in
stead OF to any Of the other points which
Sherman bad IN view, and he accordingly
went thither.-EDIToB NATIONAL TRIB-

BEST POSSIBLE AUTHORITY.
Sheridan Quoted About His Black Horse, the
Eamnua Rdanzi

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: This re
peated question as to the color Of the
horse ridden to Cedar Creek by Gen
Sheridan sharply shows how very care
ful we ought to be about doubling the
truthfulness of comrade who tells of
something that we do not remember Ii
affords indisputable evidence that oul
memory is not always the very best au.
thority and the very best thing upon
which to rely when we write or correct
history.
Some comrades positively declare that
they know that Sheridan did not ride a
black horse that 18th Of October. 1864
because they saw him on a gray: He per.
haps changed and the comrades
saw him on only one of those he rode:
Some say they do not remember to evel
have seen Sheridan on black horse. That
may be true, and yet they may have seen
him on black horse.
Let us take the Generals word for il
and let it go at that. l have no doubt
that he had memory, affection and dOcu-
ments TO rely upon when he wrote his
Memoirs. IN June, 1862, while Colonel, of
I'd Mich. Cav, he was stationed at Rienzi
Miss. In his Memoirs, Vol. /, Chap. 10,
PIP. 177-1S4, he says:
Shortly after this affair, Capt Archi-
bald T. Campbell, of the 2d Mich. Cav,
presented me with the black horse called
Rienzi, since made historical from having
been ridden by me in many battles, cou.
spicuously in the ride from Winchester to
Cedar Creek, which has been celebrated
in the poem by Il. Buchanan Reed. This
horse was of Morgan stock and then
about three years old. He was jet black,
excepting three white feet, 16 hands high,
and strongly built, with great powers of
endurance. ] rode him almost
continuously in every camnaipn and ha +
tie in which / took part, without once find
ing him overcome by fatigue, though on
many occasions his strength was severely
tested by long marches and short rations
Although he was several times
wounded, this horse escaped death in ac-
ton, and living to ripe old age, died in
1873 attended to the last with all the care
and surrounded with every comfort due
the faithful service he had rendered"

venting their junction. and in situation

one case his rear was safe, and in the
other it was threatened.

sought to meet both dangers at the same
time. Is it saying too much that Geii.
Bragg was saved from utter destruction
by the heroic courage of that fragment Of
his army which fought at Perryville!
