The Sth n. Y.

Editor National Tribune: have been
taking The National Tribune for nearly
10 years, but have never seen anything
about my old regiment, the Sth n. 7.
Please oblige me with short history
of the same.-Jacob Levy, New York,
y. Y.
The Sth N Y, also called the 1st
German Rifles, was organized at New
York, April %, 1851, for two years, and
mustered out April %, 1868. The first
Colonel was Louis Blenker. who was
promoted TO Brigadier-General and sue
ceeded by Col. Julius H. Stahel, who
was also promoted to Brigadier-Gen-
eral. Col. Francis Wutchel was dis
missed, and Col. Felix P. Salm was in
command when the regiment was mUs-
tered out. 1t belonged to the ARM Of
the Potomac, and lost 80 killed and As
died from disease.-Editor National
Tribune.

were assembled alone at night in his
quarters-then a. little cabin near the
church-when Gen. Johnston suggest
ed Macon as being the place to fall
back upon. If i remember rightly this
suggestion was received in silence, for
cannot recall the reply of one of us
at the moment. i well remember, how
ever. after We had left the presence of
Gen. Johnston, and were riding through
the darkness of the night to our re-
spective headquarters, that the unani-
nous sentiment expressed on this oc-
casion was to this effect: I'm the name
of Heaven, what is to become of us?
Here we are with the depots for re-
cruits drained. from Mobile TO Rich
mond, all the troops having been sent
either to us or to Gen. Lee, in Virginia;
our army so or &c miles from Dalton,
no general battle fought, and our COM
mander talking of Macon. 100 miles
beyond Atlanta, as being the place to
fall back upon."
This gloomy outlook brought about

burne was on my right, to make e SINH

the obstacles of a swamp and creek.
Our cavalry had evidently seen the
folly of attacking the Federals across
the creek, and therefore advised me to
proceed no further. l reported these
facts to Gen. Johnston, and was ordered
to return.
Union Lines Heavily Intrenched.
The following extract from a letter
dated May %, 1874, received from Gen.
Wheeler, Gen. Johnston's Chief of Cav
airy, will show that the enemy was
heavily intrenching the night Of my
march around our right flank:
Il recall the movement to

wooded country. cannot recall what
officer was in charge of the scouts or
in command of the brigade Immediately
in front of the enemy's left flank"
l have a strong impression that the
officer to whom Gen. Wheeler refers
was the gallant Gen. Kelly, who was
afterwards killed in battle.
1t might be supposed, upon reading
Gen. Johnston's recital of this his Sec
ond attempt to fight, that was ordered
to assault the enemy under any circum-
stances, and that / was again the cause
of battle not having been delivered.
Never within my history have 1 been
ordered to fight and have failed to obey
instructions. ! have never experienced
pleasure in being shot at, but / have
always endeavored to do my whole
duty; and, although 1 have been
charged with recklessness in regard to
the lives of my men, l had sufficient
caution to know that some positions
should not be attacked, such as the one
occupied by the enemy after recrossins

somewhat similar result is to be
observed in engagements, in the open
field. with the red men of the forest.
Those who are familiar with their mode
of warfare well know that whenever
they are attacked away from such
shelter as trees and bouIders. they at
once become confused. and scatter in
all directions. l concede that 500, in

ner of handling forces practiced by the
respective combatants. On the one
hand, shelter is invariably sought in
time of battle; on the other, reliance is
placed upon boldness and valor.
In accordance with the same princi-
pie, a cavalryman proper cannot be
trained to fight, one day mounted, the
next dismounted. and then be expected
TO charge with the impetuosity of one
who has been educated in the belief
that it is an easy matter TO ride over
infantry and artillery, and drive them
from the field. He who fights alter
nately mounted and dismounted can
never become an excellent soldier OF
either infantry or cavalry proper. More
over. the highest perfection in the edu-
cation of troops. well drilled and dis
ciplined, can only be attained through
continued appeals to their pride, and
through incitement to make known
their prOwess by the substantial test of
guns and colorS captured upon the field
of battle. Soldiers thus educated will
ever prove a terror to the foe. The con-
tinued use of breastworks during a
campaign renders troops timid in
pitched battle. and the employment of
such defenses is judicious and profit
able alone when resorted to at the
proper time. They should be used not
unto excess. and only in such instances
as l have already mentioned. and in
such as 1 shall hereafter specify. The
result of training soldiers to rely upon
their own courage we behold in the
achievements of Lees troops. Long
will live the memory of their heroic
attempt to scale the rugged heights of
Gettysburg; of their gallant charge over
the breastworks at Gaines's Mills, and

follows, page 333:
Hood Proposes an Attack.
when the three Lieutenant-General
were together in my quarters that day
Qhe 2Sth), as usual, Lieut.-Gen. Hood
suggested that we should make an attack
upon the Federal army, to commence
on its left flank. The suggestion was
accepted. and the three officers were
desired TO be ready for battle next
morning. Lieut.-Gen. Hood was in
structed to draw his corps out of the
line TO the rear, and to march during
the night around our right and form it
facing the enemy's left flank, some
what obliquely TO his line. and to assail
that flank at dawn next day. Polk and
Hardee were instructed to join in the
battle successfully, obliQuely to the
present formation, when the progress
made on the right of each should en-
able him to do SO.

Dalton were capable of having been

Therefore / see not that two brothers
one having served in Lees and the 9TH
er in Johnston's army-have cause OF
jealousy, If one has accomplished more
than the other; whereas had the two
been under the same commander they
would have proved soldiers of equal
merit. With these premises / shall pro-
ceed TO show in brief the cause of diff
ference between these brother-soldiers
of opposite schools.
Gen. Lee never made use of intrench-
ments except for the purpose of hold
ing part of his line with a small
force. whilst he assailed the enemy
with the main body of his army-as.
for instance. around Richmond at the
time of the battle of Gaines's Mills
and save en- dernier resort, as at Spot
syiVania, to and around Petersburg, to-
ward the close Of the war. He well
knew that the constant use of breast
works would teach his soldiers to look
and depend upon such protection as an
indispensable source of strength; would
imperil that spirit of devil-me-care in
dependence and self-reliance which was
one of their secret sources OF power,
and would, finally, impair the morale
of his army. A soldier cannot fight for

training that he is equal TO four or five
OF the enemy by reason of the security
of his position, and then be expected
to engage in pitched battle and prove
as intrepid and impetuous as his broth
er who has been taught to rely solely
upon his own valor. The latter, when
ordered to charge and drive the enc
my, wiil-or endeavor to--run over any
obstacle he may encounter in his front;
the former, on account of his undue
appreciation of breastworks and dis
tinct remembrance of the 1nculcations
of his commanding officer, will be con-
stantly on the lookout for such de-
fenses. His imagination will grow vivid
under bullets and bonbshells. and a
brush heap will SO magnify itself in di-
mension as to induce him to believe
that he is stopped by a wall 10 feet
high and a mile in length. The conse-
quence of his troubled imagination is
that. If too proud to run. he will lie
down. incur almost equal disgrace. and
prove himself nigh worthless in a
pitched battle.

: The. American Free Art League
has been organized for the purpose
of obtaining congressional action
looking to the removal of the duty
on works of art. The duty of 20
per cent ON works of art which shuts
out many masterpieces from Europe,
has made it more difficult to educate
the people in the appreciation of the
line arts and to raise the standard
of good taste. The effect of this is
perhaps most noticeable in the fur
nishings of the homes of people who
cannot travel abroad. IL the duty
is removed, in time our surrounding
will be more pleasing and inspiring.
Practically all the artists and educa~
tors of the country are in favor OF
putting works of art on the free list
The exemption in favor of. public
museums is not adequate as the mu-
seums are poorly endowed and de-
pend chiefly upon private donations
over 5Ot per cent OF the foreign
works of art in our public museums
have paid a duty. The effect of the
removal of the, duty upon our. de-
signed manufactures would be worth
many times the small amount OF
duties collected. Congressman Will
liam Alden Smith in the last session
introduced bin amending the tariff
schedule so as to admit works OF
art, under proper restrictions, free
of duty, and win again champion
