FIRST Shot at Gettysburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The Can
noneer" has placed on record in his history
Of Battery his reasons for claiming that
member of the 9th n. Y. Cav. fired the
first shot at the battle of Gettysburg: but
there are other claimants for that distinc-
ton. Bufords Cavalry Division I'M
doubtedIy opened the fight. and the 9Th
ILL., Cav was of that division. An officer
of that regiment. who lives here, is posi-
tive that the first shot fired on that oc-
cason was by his command. His account
is that Buford's Division reached Gettys-
burg at night. June 30, and marching
through the town, put a picket line south
west of the village and across Wiloughby
Creek. He is very certain of this fact, for
he was the officer who posted the picketS.
AS soon as it became light enough to see
anything the rebels were astir, and the
videts obeyed orders received the night be-
fore TO fire at the enemy and retire, as it
ment.
The officer of the 9Th Iii. Cav. says the
9th was in the division; but he is satisfied
that if ON picket it must have been to the
north of the town, and not where the
Johnnies first showed up. This may seem
Il trivial matter, but to the participants it
is not a small matter; if it can be estab-
lished at this late day as to who actually
fired the first shot in the greatest battle
ever fought on this continent, or. perhaps.
on the globe it will be a matter of pride
to whoever shall be awarded the honor.
The officer who established the pickets the
night of June 30 is First Lieut.. Carlos Fl.
Verbeck, 9Th Ill. Cav, now living at Grin
nell. Iowa. to whom all disputes or argu-
ments may be referred.-CHAs. PORTER.

10Th Ill. The 69th Ohio was the pivot, or
hinge, on which the right wing swung i'm
the battle of Stone River. Dec. 81. 1862
In the storming of Missionary Ridge it
was the first regiment of the Fourteenth
Corps to plant it's colors on the summit of
the ridge. Early in the morning Of Sept.
10, 1863, at the request of Col. Brigham m,
the regiment was detached from the re-
serve and deliberately moved to the right
rear of the rebel army. more than two
miles, and burned Reeds Bridge which
spanned the River Of Blood-the Indian
name for Chickamauga. This was feat
almost unknown in the annals of military
science. The manuver resulted in frus-
trating Bragg's plans as to the battle of
the 10Th. The Union army was given
more time to concentrate and form across
the roads leading through the mountain
gaps. After Thomas concluded to withdraw
from the Chickamauga battlefield. the
batteries at Reeds Bridge covered the in
fantry retreat and were fhe last to leave
Rossvile Gap, the main key to the his
toric city on the south bank of the Ten
nessee.
Congress should give medal to every
soldier who took part in burning the
bridge, as there is no doubt the act saved
the Union army from annihilation.-J W.

II, 1887, near Johnstown, n. Y, and as
the ever-to-be remembered William III.

eminent career, and my father being an
admirer of his political principles | was

sent to st. Louis, Mo, for arms and camp
equipage.
My regiment was ordered to Licking,
ton, Mo-, to help Mulligan, but before we
could get there he was compelled to sur
render, and after short stop at Sedalia
we broke camp and started i'm pursuit of
the rebel General Price, who was march
ing toward the southern borders of Mis-
souri,.
"In early Spring we marched after
Price again, and followed him over n
mountainous road to the northwestern
corner Of Arkansas, where we defeated
him at the hOtly-contested battle of Pea
Ridge. The day before the battle began
about 20 of us boys were detailed to act
as foragers, and about a dozen wagons
were sent with us out into the country

The wagon l was i'll tOppled over, and

We finally unsnarled the mules. righted
the wagon, picked up the corn and started
once more upon the wild run for camp: and
we were none too soon, for as fast as Sipel
cut his way through the rebel ranks they
would circle around him again; this he
did three times until help was sent to him
when the rebs withdrew and let him alone
for that day. This was the most danger.

next day and all through the battle INV
