Editor National Tribune: 1 read a
communication in The National Trib-
une from Comrade Rose, in which he
said there were no executions at Muir
freesboro in the Spring of 1863. If
there had been, he thinks he would
have heard of them. / do not know
where he could have been. He was
right as to the 18th Mich. being the
Provost Guard from soon after the bat
tie of Stone River until the Tullahoma
campaign. l will say, however. that
was an eyewitness of the hanging of
three men. One of them was executed
some time before the other two.
Comrade ]. w. Horner, seth Ohio,
and Comrade Downs, 18TH Ind. were
right in most of their particulars, ex-
cept as to crediting Bragg with hanging
one Of the men and as to the escape of
another. l was a member Of the es-
cort that guarded the prisoners to the

An Incident at Gettysburg.

Editor National Tribune: In a recent
Issue Of The National Tribune Com
rade Henry Gushee, Co. B, sd Mass,
says there was no singing In or about
Gettysburg before. during or after the
battle; or words to that effect. Allow
me to say that IL there was any sing
ing by the school girls. there were none
of the Sixth Corps there to hear them.
On the evening of July 2. 1853, the
advance Of the Sixth arrived at Little
Round Top about 5 o'clock, and there
was only one brigade in action on that
evening, and that was the Third Bri-
gade Of the Third Division. Sixth Corps.
This brigade had the lead on that long
and dusty march, and the 93d Pa. had
the lead Of the corps. This brigade
was composed of the 93d, 98th, 1920
and 139th Pa. and the ed N. Y, and
these were the only Sixth Corps troops
that were in the fight on July and
that was at Little Round Top. AS the
remainder OF the troops arrived they
were formed between Little Round TOP
and the "high-water mark" Some of
the Sixth Corps did not arrive on the
field of battle until the morning OF
July 8. so think the comrade of Co.
A. 9Th VT, Second Brigade, Second
Division, Sixth Corps, must be a little
off when he said that part OF the Sixth
Corps marched through Gettysburg on
the evening Of July 2, 1863-Leonard

bridge over the Monocacy River, on the
morning Of that day. The regiment
went to the left of the railroad imme-
diately after taking their rations, and
perhaps they crossed that bridge that
the correspondent speaks of and re-
turned; and after returning to this side
OF the river they went into a hollow
and behind hill. Some of them, at
least. got behind stone fence, where
the rebels had to come down hill to get
at them. There they held the rebels
three or four hours. perhaps more, for
II was quite late in the afternoon when
they began to retreat. There was only
the Third Division OF the Sixth, and not
all of that. AS the Second Brigade OF our
division was coming up the road they
heard the cannOnading, and stopped

Capt. Babcock was q very efficient
executive officer, and the details orig
mated by him and carried out through
were very impressive. The orders to
the firing party were not given by word
Of mouth. While Capts. Babcock and
King were tying the elbows and bandag-
ing the eyes Of the culprits the firing
party, having been previously drilled
by Capt. Babcock, formed in front OF
and at proper distance from the men.
THESE preliminaries ended. Capt. Bah
cock stepped to the right and front OF
the firing party, drew his sword and
made an officers salute, at the motions
or which the firing party made ready,
aimed and fired as the salute was COM
pleted, the men falling backward. dead.
The command was then given and the
troops present, some 5000 I should
judge. wheeled into column by com
pany, right in front. and In this forma-
ton reviewed the corpses, SO to speak.
We saw Capts. Babcock and King
