The Transport Governor.

Editor National Tribune: I notice
that several correspondents have re-
Gently sought information through your
paper about the transport steamer Gov
ernor, lost during the civil war. All
such are informed that the Governor
was attached to Du Points Port Royal
expedition, and had on board bat
talon of $50 marines, commanded by
Col. John G.. Reynolds, and were sent
out from the Marine Barracks at Wash
ington. The vessel foundered at sea
off Georgetown, s. c., Nov. 1. 1861. Only
seven men were lost. The others were
rescued by the crew of the frigate Sa-
bine, which vessel was on blockade duty
off Georgetown at that time. The Gov
ernor was commanded by Capt. c. l..
Litchfield, and was not seaworthy at
the time IT was chartered for the ma
rines. Commodore Ringgold, who COM
manded the frigate Sabine on that oc-
casion. received from Congress a vote
of thanks, also similar honor from
the Legislature of Maryland and City
Council of New York City. He entered
the naval service March 4. 1919, and
died on the retired list, April 90, 1867

The Army Of the Ohio mt Shiloh.

Editor National Tribune: r. B.
Brown, of GAINESVILLE. o., wishes to know
the time of day the Army of the Ohio
moved to the attack at Shiloh on Mon
day, April Z, and remarks that 1--WE of
the Army of the Ohio have been put in
a false light by the partisans of the
Army of the Tennessee"
Gen. BuelPs army moved to the at
tack promptly at daylight, and the de-
termination and skill that they dis
played throughout that day won the
admiration of all the boys Of the Army
of the Tennessee who were on the field
to witness their gallantry.
Quite naturally, Gems. Grant, Sher-
man. McClernand and Lew Wallace
would depreciate the services of Gen
Buell. and his army, because up to this
time they had been themselves abject
failures, but the rank and file of Grants
army, which, although taken by sur
prise, had, without head or manage
ment, stubbornly resisted the vigorous
onslaughts of Sunday. can have no feel
ings than those of admiration and warm
regard for the Army of the Ohio, who
turned our disastrous defeat into a glo-
ious victory.-David Cornwell, Sergeant

NEGLEY'S DIVISION.
Its Defense of Nashville and Share in
the Battle of Stone River.

Editor National Tribune: I am read
Ing with great interest your history OF
"The Army of the Cumberland" Yet
there are some things in 1t in which
have been disappointed. 1 was in Gen.
Negleys Division. / expected de-
scription of how Negley was left to
hold Nashville when Gen. Buell. fell
back to Louisville. Negley was left
with but five days rations, yet held the
city for two months, cut off from COM
munication with any other command,
saved the city to the Union and made 1t
one of the most strongly-fortified places
in the South.
In describing the fighting on Dec. 81,
Wednesday, writer for the Cincinnati
Commercial said: when the right of
the army was broken Negley had push
ed ahead of the left of the right wing
and was driving the enemy. He sus-
tained one of the fiercest assaults of
the day, and the enemy was dreadfully
punished. The 18th Ill. and 11th Mich.
charged in advance and drove back
division"
One episode in the. battle of Stone
River / never see mentioned; yet 1t Is
a fact that our army had taken a num-
ber of prisoners. About 20 of them
were taken near headquarters, where
number of officers talked among them
selves in the hearing of the prisoners,
of strong reinforcement that was eX-
pected. The most of those prisoners
soon after escaped CD, and probably
reported to Gen. Bragg. That night,
Thursday, detail was made from the
18th Ohio and 11th Mich. and taken
up the pike toward Nashville, where
loud commands were given, as though
officers were placing troops in positions.
Then followed the building of numer-
Gus campfires up and down the pike for
a mile or two. This probably had some
thing to do with Bragg's retreat, as he
began to remove his stores that night.
Then, again, in the last day of the
battle, Jan. 2, '63. in your sketch you
entirely ignore us. While some one else
has had the goodness to say: 'The
Second Brigade iStanley's) of Negley's
Division was posted as a reserve in an
open field near the river just n rear
of our batteries on the right of tie left
wing of our army. Between and
o'clock the enemy made heavy attack
in our front The enemy drove back
our forces on the opposite side of the
river, one regiment crossing in great
disorder and rushing through our
ranks. AS the enemy came in range
the brigade rose up, delivered its fire
and charged across the river" Col.
Stanley of the 18th Ohio, commanding
the brigade, shouted: up, my Michi-
ganders, and at EN-"
Col. Stoughton in his report said:
''The 11tn Mich. was among the first
that crossed Stone River and assisted in
capturing four pieces of artillery aban-
doned by the enemy in his flight
l know that when we reached that
four-gun battery there We're no troops
in front of us except those dressed in
gray. Some of our men went back
with few prisoners from the battery,
but the regiment continued on mare
than half way across the open field. On
our return some one had captured that
battery. 1t might have been the 2lst
Ohio; l don't know.-D. d. Rose, Co.

AN INCIDENT OF ATLANTA.
4 Hospital Too Close to the Firing Lin,


Editor National Tribune: 1 would
like to relate a circumstance that hap
pened on the battlefield at Atlanta. Ga.
July %, 1865. I was on the skirmish
line, and we went half mile through
the woods and came out in plain view
Of the city. Many of us had lost our
commands, but stayed there all the
time the battle was raging on our left.
where Gen. Mcpherson was killed.
About o'clock the enemy began pour
ing over their breastworks in front of
the city, column after column. watch
ed them as long as 1 thought 1t safe;
then, as was my own General, ordered
a retreat. 1 had not gone far before
met a skirmish commander. who or
dered us all back. / started back, but
not so fast as / had come, and soon
met the whole line running as hard as
they could. l Joined in the run back,
and had only gone a little way when
came upon two young men who had
been stopped in their flight by the
pleadings of wounded soldier, shot in
the back, the bullet passing entirely
through his body. He begged them
piteously not to leave him in the enc
my's hands, and as soon as 1 came up
one of the young men said to me: II
will carry the things If you will help
carry him." At once 1 took mold of
his legs, and the other fellow took him
around the waist, and we started
through the woods as fast as we could,
knowing the enemy was close to us.
None of our boys were anywhere
around, and we realized that we were
between two fires. Several times we
were almost on the point of leaving
the wounded soldier to take care of
ourselves, but his pleadings were too
much for US, and we held on to him.
After many vicissitudes we happened
to hit my regiment but when we reach
ed it the works were SO full that they
refused to admit the poor fellow. and
told US to take him to the hospital,
half a mile back in an open field close
to the woods. They brought a stretchcr
upon which we put the wounded man,
and started for the hospital. This put
us in line of the bullets where the main

Those Singing Girls Again.

Editor National Tribune: If you can
find space in your good old paper-the
best paper in the world would like
to say few words in reply to Com
rade Latin about those singing girls at
Gettysburg. Comrade Latin is way off
when he says the I'd. Sd, 4th, 9TH ani
9Th VT, his brigade, marched past the
Seminary where the girls were singing.
Now that Vermont Brigade must have
had a pretty good pilot to lead Yam
kee brigade through the rebel lines to
the Seminary, and then out through
the rebels again to Cemetery Ridge. l
don't see why this brigade did not cap
ture Gen. Lee when they were there,
for that was the place where Lee had
his headquarters from the evening of
the first days fight. That would have
been a big feather for that Vermont
Brigade to put on their headquarters
flag, and they could have done it easily
enough If they were at the Seminary
on the evening of the second days
fight. Comrade Latin had better get
map of Gettysburg battlefield and
see where his Vermont Brigade was
from the time it arrived at Little Round
Top. Now, Comrade c. F. Latin. when
you write again please give your COM
pany and regiment, with your address
in full, as 1 might want to write to you
sometime.-Leonard Fernsler, Co. D,

miles, Oregon three miles, etc. and the
Brooklyn must have made $500 yards
to reach within 5000 yards of western

yards and the Texas was making 1000

Tennessee Cavalry Regiments.

Editor National Tribune: In an issue
of recent date, as well as in a number
some time ago. in reply to requests, you
give as part of the history of the I'd
Tenn. Cav that it was organized at
Murfreesboro in July, 1862.
1 take it that your statement Is made
from some kind of record, but the mys-
terry to me is as to how the record could
have been twisted to such an error. II
you will think a moment, you will see
the error at once. There were no Union
regiments organized at Murfreesboro in
July, 1862, nor at any other date. There
was no material there from which to
organize them.
The I'd, Sd and 4th Tenn. Cav were
organized, or their organization begun,
at Cumberland Gap in July and August.
1852, but were not mustered into SER
vice until at Murfreesboro, in January,
1863, after the battle, and while the at
mosphere was poisonous with the stencil
of dead bodies.
l. with three others. was the first to
enlist in the Sd at Cumberland Gap,
Aug. 6 (the record says Aug. 100, 1862.
The I'd was being raised at the same
time. The Sd and 4th were started to
be raised together as one regiment, and
was then called the 1st East Tenn. Cav.
Col. W. c. Pickens and Col. r. NJ. Ed
wards were raising the regiment Jointly.
and they and the "a were on the retreat
from Cumberland Gap to the Ohio Riv-
er, performing some of the hardest SER
vices of the war before being mustered
into service.
Pickens and Edwards got into a quar-
rel as to which should be the ranking
officer. They separated. and the men
divided between them after reaching
the Ohio River, and thereupon the au-
thorities changed the 4th Tenn, then
commanded by Col. Robert Johnson, TO
cavalry, giving it the number and name
of the 1st East Tenn. Cav. Col. James
BrownIow succeeded Col. Johnson as
commander of that regiment, and dis
tinguished himself greatly during the
war.
That part of the men adhering to Col.
Pickens were then given the number
and name Of the Sd, while those adher-
ing to Col. Edwards We're called the 4th
Tenn. Cav, and thus two regiments
were started. Col. Edwards went on
with his organization, and associated
with him Lieut.-Col. Jacob NJ. Thorn
burgh. Edwards was not willing to ac-
cept any rank lower than Colonel, while
IThornburgh was commissioned Lieuten-
ant-Colonel, and failing to raise the
full number for a Colonelcy, Edwards
lost patience and left the service en-
tirely.
These regiments were all called East
Tennessee regiments then, and were
continued to be so called until some
time after the battle of Stone River,
when the names were changed so as to
come regularly as to the different COM
mands raised in Tennessee, regardless
of sections.-Will A. McTeer, Maryville,
Tenn.
Our statement was based upon the
following paragraph in the Official Rec
ords at the head of the roster of the I'd
Tenn. Cav: 1.-The I'd Tenn. Cav was
organized at Murfreesboro, Tenn, from
July, 1862, to January, 1853, to serve
three years. 1t was mustered out July
6, 1865, in accordance with orders from
the War Department"-Ed Nation

Lew wallace Mt Shiloh.

Editor National Tribune: Your state
ment in the issue of April IL, that the
Union Generals at Pittsburg Landing
did not know of the rebels advance
from Corinth to attack them may be
so, but it will not apply to Lew Wal
lace at Crump's Landing. He had his
troops out on the Adamsville road
every night for a week before the bat
tie, expecting an attack, and the gossip
of the camp was that he sent news of
the advance to Gen. Grant at Savanna,
and got snubbed for his trouble. There
were hundreds of refugees bringing the
news of the advance, and every one in
camp knew the rebels We're coming,
and the morning of the 9Th the troops
were in line from daylight waiting or
ders, which We're given from the steam
er at about II o'clock as Gen. Grant
went to Pittsburg Landing.-Thomas
