Editor National Tribune In your is
sue of 18th inst. you state: april 4,
1864, new Twentieth Corps was form
ed of the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps
by consolidation, with Gen. Joseph
Hooker in command"
The Eleventh and Twelfth Corps by
consolidation at time mentioned com.
prised only part of the Twentieth
Corps.
The Third Division of the Twentieth
Corps was made up of Western troops,
two brigades of which, at least, had
never been In the Eastern Army. These
two brigades We're commanded by Col.
Harrison Uater General and then Pres
ident Harrison) and John Coburn Qat-
er Gen. Coburn) AS I am writing from
memory l will not attempt to speak of
the other brigade, which completed the
Third Division of the Twentieth Corps.
This Twentieth Corps very soon after
its formation commenced doing its part
towards making history in a manner
of which every member may feel a just
pride.
So much having been said in refer
ence to the Twentieth Corps, | trust it
may now be given It's full and correct
organization in the columns of your
valuable paper-W. H. Morse, First
gade, Third Division, Twentieth Corps,
Warrenton, Mo.
The comrade is right, but does not
go far enough. The Twentieth Corps
was rather elastic organization, and
many of the regiments employed in
guarding the communications from
Nashville to Chattanooga We're included
in the Twentieth Corps and Rousseau's
Division. Practically the corps was as
we stated, formed by the consolidation
of the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps,
with two Western brigadcs added, al
together forming three divisions-Wil-
liams's, Geary's and Butterfleld's. These
took part in the Atlanta campaign and
the march to the sea, and are usually
spoken of as the Twentieth Corps. In
addition to these there was the Fourth
Division under Gen. Lowell II. Rousseau,
which never Joined the corps. and Il
large number of the members of the
Twentieth Corps were not even aware
of the existence of a Fourth DIVISION

old Stars and Stripes. The boys of my

over the United States. The first thing

there is any report from comrade of
my regiment. ] have seen nothing as
yet, so / thought I would start the ball
rolling. Many of my regiment remem-
ber the siege of Knoxville Tenn, where
our brave Gen. Sanders was killed; also
Lieut.. Lee of Co a. We did some
hard fighting there which they well
remember. We held the rebs for three
DAYS Just west Of Fort Sanders, and on
the third day they drove us back to
The city and made that desperate charge
on Fort Sanders. Many of the rebs lost
their lives in the trench just in front
of the fort, owing to Gen. Burnside's
long head in placing wire in front of
the trench, which tripped the Johnnies,
throwing them into the trench, and at
the same time our boys threw hand
grenades from the fort into the trench.
They made desperate effort to secure
the fort, but finding they could not fell
back At the same time there was
heavy fighting at other points around
the city. We were penned in for y
number of weeks, and finally relieved
by the boys from Chattanooga. The
rebs finding they could not stand no;
fire on both sides, pulled out we fol
lowing them down to Fairgarden. Jan,

on the battlefield over night. On the
morning of the 2Sth we marched tc

breastworks and losing number of oui

When Breckenridge and his army had

some other day. We kept charging
them as they retreated. Our field Off

Columbia, Spring Hill and Franklin.

Editor National Tribune: have been
a constant reader of The National Trib-
une for about 2S years. and as long as
l live it will be a welcome visitor At
my home. When Friday night comes
and / see my National Tribune on my
table, l begin reading it at once, and

everything in it.
The historian of the Army of the
Ohio asked some time ago this ques-
ton of the survivors of that great
army: when did your command leave
Columbia on the retreat, and when did
it reach Spring Hill and Franklin 2"
To that / reply, our Captain left Co
lumbia prematurely; that is, before he
got positive orders to do so. We re-
treated about two miles, when we were
oVertaken by an orderly and ordered
back. We went back on the double-
quick 10 our former position, about so
yards south of the railroad bridge on
the north side of the river.
i do not remember the exact time
we left the bridge, bu. it was about 8
between Columbia and Spring Hill we
passed some burning wagons which the
rebels had captured and set on fire.
We received several volleys of mus
kerry as we marched in column along
the road, but the bullets went over our
headS and we dld not return the hre.
We reached Spring Hill about midnight
of Nov. 20, 1864. For several miles to
our right, as we marched along, we
could see the smoldering campfires OF
the enemy, with here and there a lone

his life was to be spared that he might

had risen from her knees. she sat down

WHAT WAS SHE DOING THERE?
A Mysterious Girl Found in a Wider
ness.

Editor National Tribune: I am an
old subscriber to your splendid paper,
and wish to ask a question. l enlisted
in '62, in the city of Wheeling, w. Va,
in Co. G., 18th w. Va, under Capt. S.
F. Shaw. 1 was in the Lynchburg raid
under Crook, in the Valley of Virginia
with Sheridan, around Petersburg and
Hatcher's Run, and rounded up at APP
pomattox Court House; but this is not
the question. In the Winter of '62 we
as a company lay at Little Orleans Sta
ton on the B. & o. Railroad. One
night I, with four others, was sent up
the Potomac River some five or six
miles to watch a crossing. We got
there in the fore part of the night, and
had barely settled down when we heard
a stir among the leaves. We sur
rounded the place, and 1 remember, 1t
being very dark, my hair would rise
up on my head in spite of all I could
do. There was no moon to give any
light, and d great many pine trees all
around. which made the place look
awfully gloomy; then, too, we did not
know what moment We might be fired
upon by the enemy. However, we had
to close up. and when we did, what do
you suppose we found? A young wo-
man, all alone, miles from any house,
in a perfect wilderness. The worst of
it all was that the girl seemed to be
deaf and dumb, for We could get no
response to any of our questions. The
commander of the squad decided to
take her to camp, so 1 and another
comrade escorted her thru the bush
as best we could. When we had trav-
eled some miles we came to the rail-
road, and near a biz tunnel, and for
the first time she began to show signs
of life. and started to pull for the tun-
nel but We had "sortar' glued fast TO
the little rebel and did not let go our
hold on her arms. She then let her
