Battery G, 1st Ohio l.. A.

Editor National Tribune: 1 am going
to ask a favor of you. l see many of
the comrades have received prompt re-
plies through The National Tribune.
Please give a short sketch of my old
battery, G, 1st Ohio L. A, Capt. Alex.
Marshall commanding. 1 think such
sketch will wake up some of the old
boys so that I can hear from them.
Our efforts should not be entirely for
gotten. We played good part in sew
eral battles, such as Stone River,
Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Mis-
sionary Ridge, Franklin. and the siege
of Nashville.-Alex. McCombs, Co. G,
1st Ohio L. A., Tontogany. Ohio.
Battery G, 1st Ohio L. A, was or
ganized at Camp Dennison, Dee. II,
1861, and assigned to Crittenden's Di-
vision of the Army of the Ohio Its
first battle was Shiloh, and it remained
in service until Sept 1. 1865. going
with the Fourth Corps to Texas. At
one time it was composed of eight guns.
The battery went into service with 156
men. and from first to last 400 were on
its rolls and but so remained to be
mustered out. The first Captain was
Joseph Bartlett, who resigned, and
Capt. Alexander Marshall commanded
it from Feb. 81. 1863, until the close
of it's service.-Editor National Trib-

ture; and ! will add that no General
ever received more thorough co-opera-
ton of his corps commanders than did
Gen. Johnston during his campaign
from Dalton to Atlanta. He was on
cordial terms with each of us, and il
should be borne In mind that the ami
mus displayed toward Gen. Polk and
myself never became apparent till after
l was assigned to the command of the
Army of Tennessee, and the noble Polk
had been laid in his grave nigh two
months. Gen. Johnston was then re-
siding in Macon, Ca, where he wrote
his official report, in which We're
brought forward for the first time these
unjust and false accusations.
