They Were Not Supported.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I fully
agree with Comrade D. c. Bixby Of Co. G,
Sd VT, and l, also, ask: Where were the
SOO men sent to the support of the four
companies of the Sd Vt. when they charged
and captured the fort at Lees Mills? We
had the honor Of being brigaded with them
for a short time. The brigade was
composed of the 1st, Cd, Sd VT, and 33d
n. T.; of the last l was member. Com
rade Bixby seems to feel good over the
fact that Gen. Badly Smith was the first
Colonel of his regiment. No doubt Gen.
Smith would have done better, if he had
been left right here! / consider him a
failure everywhere else! Yet Gen. Smith
thought the Sd Vt. was the best regiment
in the service; and he, being a man who
loved to take on too much steam at times
and as that was one Of those times-as he
happened to ride along the line where his
old regiment was, and he being in the right
condition to think that it was time to end
the war, and that few Of the Sd VT. was
all that was needed to do up the whole
rebel army, he sent them to do it. They
did all that any like number Of men could
do, and more than most other commands
Of like numbers have done. l know that no
troops were sent to their assistance. If
there had been, l think we could have
captured the whole Of that small rebel
force at Yorktown; but they were un-
supported, and the sacrifice Of 1875 brave
men was fruitless.-G. j. PALMER, Co d.
