PERSONAL JOURNALISM.

Personal Journalism is practically
at an end in this country, says the
Houston TEX Chronicle, Only the
Ignorant or the mentally %deprayed,
the BLACKBOARD or the imbecile that
has broken into the profession now
disgraces the newspaper he controls
by personal reference to an editor
with whom he may disagree. Men
who are men do not fight personal
battles with the pen, for it is both
~cowardly and contemplate and a
dishonor to journalism. Ability to
write a scurrilous article may com
mend an editor in the eyes of a man
who runs q newspaper wholly for
Safeguarding and blackmailing
purposes, but to those who have a
decent regard for the ethics of the
profession such an editor and such
methods have long since been cast
aside with all other immoral and I'M
clean things that hampered the pro-
gress Of the press.

but when they looked me over said

Anderson at the time, and he gallantly
volunteered to lead a rescuing party,
and Maj. Anderson permitted half of
his available force-about 80 men-to
go with Collins. This body had gone
but a little distance after crossing the
bridge when they were attacked by an
overwhelming force of redskins. and
the brave Lieutenant and large num-
ber of his men were killed and their
bodies mutilated. Part of Collins's men
got back safely. OF the men under
Serg't Custard only three, and they
were of his advance guard of five men,
escaped. All the others were killed in

about four hours.

battle at Red Buttes, I cannot forget
the details of the affair.
Altho everybody must regret the oc-
currence yet this is the first time i
have heard of anyone criticiZing either

June Is, 1900. 1t was re-organized
in 1908 and took part in the war of
1912, after which it was consolidated
with the I'd, Sd and 44th U. S. to form
the 1st U. S. A new 7th U. S. was
formed in 1915 by the consolidation of
the Sth, 10th, 36th and 3Sth U. S. AT
the beginning of the war. Henry Will
son was Colonel, having been so COM
missioned June II, 1851. He served
until Feb. 25, 1861. when he was sue
ceeded by ]. J. Abercrombie, who was
in nominal command of the regiment
until June II, 1865. He was at once
made a Brigadier-General of Volun-
teers to date from Aug. 81, 1865, and
commanded brigade on the PENN
sula. Zachary Taylor was Lieutenant-
Colonel from Aug. 16, 1921, to Jan. 1,
1922. Pitcairn Morrison was Lieuten-
ant-Colonel from 1853 to June g. 1861
when he was succeeded by Albemarle
Cady, who in October, 1863, was sue
ceeded by Lieut.-Col. F. +. Flint. The
Majors during the war were J. R.
Smith, Isaac Lynde, G. o. Haller, H

Ayres's Division, Fifth Corps, Army OF
the Potomac, and lost two officers and
so men killed, and SO died from dis.
ease.-Editor National Tribune.
The National tribune., 1907-12-19

At the time Lieut.. Collins was killed
at Platte Bridge Col. Moonlight was
not in command there; indeed, he had
been mustered out of the service, and
was more than 500 miles away; there
was not a full regiment nor a quarter
of a regiment there; no emigrant train
was attacked; Moonlight did not send
Lieut.. Collins with % men to assist a
train; no emigrants were murdered IN
plain sight of Moonlight or anybody
else, and all of the men under Lieut..
Collins were not killed.
With the above corrections the arti-
Gle of Comrade Hughey is substantially
correct.
Now, as to the facts: The bridge al
luded to was a wagon bridge across the
North Platte River, some distance
above Fort Laramie. There was sort
of block house or stockade at the south
end of the bridge, and in July, 1865,
Mai. Anderson, of the 18th Kan, was
in command there with less than 100
men, and quite a number of these were
sick Serg't Custard, of Co. II, 11th
Kan. with four mule teams, with driv-
ers, and about 80 men, had gona to
Fort Bridger for ammunition. on July
25 Mai. Anderson'S command was at
tackled by a large body of Indians and
the stockade was besieged. The enemy
had destroyed the telegraph both above
and below the bridge, and communica-
tions were cut off. On the 26th Serg't t
Custard, with his four wagons and
small escort, appeared at what is known
as Red Buttes, some six miles west of
the bridge and on the north side of
the river. The Indians attacked the
train with many hundred warriors.
Lieut.. Collins happened to be with Maj.

When the war. broka out our company
was at the Preside, San Francisco.
Never having heard Brags's Battery
mentioned during the war. I wrote to
Maj. Hunt to fsnd out what he knew
about it. He wrote me long letter
from Washington, where he was Gov
ernor of the Soldiers Home in June.
1885, telling me our battery was
equipped as horse artillery. and oper-
ated with the cavalry in the Army of
the Potomac, doing, good service. He
also gave 4 history of all the officers in
his and our company only one, Lieut..
Long. of Co. M, proving a traitor. Mai.
Hunt Captain and brevet Major. was
a nephew of Gen. Cass. of Michigan.
who was the Democratic nominee for
President in 1$4s against Gen. Taylor.
Maj. Hunt was a gentleman in every
sense of the word, and was liked by all.
What q difference between him and
Bragg, who was so strict a disciplin-
arian that the officers were as much
afraid of him as the private soldiers.
Bragg was dyspeptic, which may have
partly accounted for his disagreeable
disposition.-John M. Geissler, Co. +,
