1.-THE TREASON OF JOE"
Reminiscence of the Last Battle OF
Sherman's Army.

Editor National Tribune: I have for
many years been a reader of the Cos
mopolitan Magazine. / have read all
the articles on the Treason of the
Senate" that have come from the gift
ed writer, David Graham Philips. who
talks so eloquently with his pen that
he almost believes it himself. My mind
goes back to a March day in 1865. in
old North Carolina. ] hear again. or
seem to hear. the roar of cannon and
sharp crack of musketry off to the left
as joe Johnston and Hardee roll back
the Fourteenth Corps in confusion.
see or seem to see the First and Third
Divisions Of the Twentieth Corps march
to help stem the victorious charge OF
the boys in gray. The wagon trains are
packed, and my own, the Second Divi-
sion of the Twentieth Corps in reserve
for their defense. I was near the head
quarters of Gen. Henry Slocum when
he called one of his Aids. a young and
almost -beardless boy. I hear him say,
Joe, don't let the grass grow under
you from here t. Sherman's headquar-
ters," and Joe's reply. by -, I'll be
there as quick as horseflesh can carry
me-"
Afterwards the crack of musketry
and thunder of cannon off to the right
told the fact that the boys of the 40
rounds-the Fifteenth Corps-had
struck the rebel left, and Joe had done
his duty well that day amid the pine
woods of North Carolina. We know
that Joe loved his country then and
did his duty as he understood it. We
believe Joe loves his country yet, and
always does his duty as he understands
it now. We old soldiers of Sherman's
army do not believe there is any trea-
son in Joe. He has been tried by fire
amid the smoke of battle and the thun-
der of cannon on many a field where
treason was rampant. His loyalty was
never questioned by any but David
Graham Phillips. We old soldiers are
proud of Joe He was one of us, and
we all rejoice in his success and in the
h onors that crown him one of the fore
most men of his country, and that he
has done his duty as he did that day
amid the pine woods of North Caro-
lima. We rejoice that the people of
his State made him Judge and twice
sent him to the Governors Chair, and
his duties were so well performed that
they said go higher, and they sent him
to represent them in the Senate. There
Joe still fights in the open for what he
thinks is right, and just gives and takes
and asks no quarter and no favorS. NO,
David Graham Phillips, we believe IN
Joe. He wears no mans collar. and
all the venomous shafts from your pen
must fall harmless at the feet of Jo-
seph Benson Foraker, of Ohio.-N. "A.

The Tumultous Experiences of Young
Pilot.

Editor National Tribune: AS a con-
stant reader of your valuable and in
teresting paper, ! have read many arti-
cles of the times during the war and

ton of that stirring period and some
few sentences as to what happened to

of 1864. / was just 49, and made up
my mind to see the world and the
devilment that was in it from the hur-
ricane deck of a steamboat, so I shipped
on the good steamer ]. w. Cheesman

Pilot (under Tom Allen and Levi Dix,
then chartered by the Government and
carrying Quartermaster supplies up the
Cumberland and Tennessee. We sailed
out of Cincinnati one fine autumnal
day, and in due time We're at Johnson
vile, where we discharged our cargo
of 700 tons and started back down the
river, being accompanied by a big ST.
Louis towboat the Venus, and the tin
clad gunboat Undine, carrying an arma-
ment of eight 24-pounder brass howit-
zers and a full complement of men. All
went well until we got to Paris Land
ing, some two miles above old Fort
Heiman and some 40 miles below John
sonville, when all at once we were fired
upon by number of batteries on the
west bank of the river. Our boat put

gone through our steam-pipe, and so
we soon fell into the hands of the enc
my. After several hours fighting the
Undine and Venus We're also lost. The
Captain and part of the crew of the
| former escaped into the woods with
a loss of 10 men killed and wounded.
| The entire crews of both the Chees-
man and Venus were captured. / stay
ed in the pilot house of my boat until
was badly wounded in three places,
| when, seeing all was lost, I sprang out

| deck on the opposite side to where the
! Confederates were shooting at us. Our
crew numbered about 40 men. and
| were at once taken II a big old barn
some little distance from the top of the
bank. After stripping the Cheesman
of all movable property. which the
| captors thought they could make use
of, she went up in flames. The other
! two boats had not been injured much,
and SO the Confederates manned them
| and started up the river on a voyage
of conquest. Beyond the loss of the
Captain of the Venus, who was killed
| standing at his post, I know nothing
/ of the casualties on her. The rebels
placed two of their own cannon-20-
pound Parrotts-on the Undine. This
career of glory soon came to an end
for the Union gunbOats recaptured the
two boats shortly afterwards. This all
took place Oct. 80, 1864. / think that

manga.
Editor National Tribune: I am a
reader of the dear old National Trib-
une, and take very few exceptions to
what is printed in it. I have been
reading very carefully John McElroy's
Army of the Cumberland" central
campaign. I must take exception to
some things Mr.. McElroy writes. He
says of the first day at ChickamaGga
that Col. Dan McCook did not wait for
the help he asked for nor for Gen.
Thomas's orders but Immediately
moved back to Rossville to join Gen.
Granger. The facts do not justify Mr..
McElroy's statement. Col. McCoCk's
Brigade was in line of battle with the
I'd ILL., Light Artillery in the center. with
their guns double-shotted with canis-
ter. The skirmish line had been fight
ing for about one hour at close range.
We first drove them back from Jays
Saw Mill. so that we could fill our cam
teens with water Gas we had been out
there in the woods all night with no
chance to get any water). While about
so of us were filling our canteens they
reinforced their skirmish line and wer,
coming around the little field where
the sawmill and spring were located.
We, seeing our danger of being cut of
fell back, fighting as we went. Several
of our men were captured: also several
wounded. Just about the time we We're
getting to our brigade Quartermastcr
Dean, of the seth ILL.,. came with an
order from Gen. Thomas to Col. Nc
Cook t. get his brigade out of there as
quickly as possible, as he, with his bri-
gade, would be captured, as we were
facing very superior force. AS We
were marching out in pretty fast time
and had gone about one or two miles
we met Brannan's Division or a part
of it, going in, and soon after we heard
the clash of arms in our rear. We did
move back to Rossvile Gap, but not
without orders. 1t is but just to say in
defense of Col. Dan McCook that he
was n brave man and never shirked
any duty or task he was assigned to.
He fell. mortally wounded, the first
man upon the enemy's works at Ken
esaw Mountain, Ga, June 81, 1864.

COmrade Rilea's statement is entire
iy correct, except that the order to fall
back at once came from Gen. Granger
instead of Gen. Thomas Granger had
learned of the great rebel force at
Reeds Brigade, and made haste to re-
call McCook from his exposed position.
This will explain why McCook left
