THE 22D PA. CAV.
It Contained Some Of the First Cavalry
Accepted by the Government.

Editor National Tribune: In your re-
ply to request from one of your sub
scribers for history of the above reg
iment one or two important facts were
overlooked.
The Ringgo1d Cavalry Company, of
Washington County, Pa, afterwards
Co. A, 22d Pa. Cav, was organized
away back inithe '40's. and regularly
mustered at the annual militia drills
in western Pennsylvania up to the civil
war Early in the Spring of 1861, while
the Southern States We're passing ordi-
nances of secession and preparing for
war, the company was reorganiZed by
Capt. John Keys, of Beallsville, Pa,
with view of Offering its services to
the Government. 1t was recruited to
full strength, and the company records
show that many of the young men who
Joined at that time enrolled their names
on April II, the day that Fort Sumter
was fired upon. The State authorities
were so slow about accepting the COM
pany that an appeal was made direct
to the Secretary of War. He ordered
it to proceed to Grafton, w. Va, where
it was mustered into service on June
20, 1861, being the first three-year cav
airy organization from any State to be
mustered into service. 1t was assigned
to the command of Gen. 3. f. Kelley
a few days after the battle of Philippi
the first engagement of the war, and
at once entered upon duty. In July
and August following another company
called the Washington Cavalry, was
raised in Washington County, Pa. by
Capt. A. J. Greenfield afterwards Lieu

which was also assigned to the COM
mand of Gen. Kelley The following
Summer 1S62) five more companies
were raised in Washington and adjoin-
ing Counties by Capt John Keys. of
the original Rnggo1d Company. pur-
suant to authority given by the War
Department These five companies
were mustered into the service in Sep
tember. 1862. They were united to the
two companies first above mentioned,
and the organization thus formed was
recognized as the Ringgold Battalion
until March, 1864. On the 1st of March
1864, five companies raised in the neigh
berhood of Chambersburg. Pa. for six
months service were attached to the
Ringgold Battalion, and the organiza-
ton thus formed was designated the
men first to enter the service were made
members of regiment numbered near
the highest. In June, 1865, the 18th
and 22d Pa. Cav. regiments were con-
solidated, and called the Sd Provisional
Cav. 1t remained in the service in Vir-
ginia assisting in the restoration of civil
order, and was finally mustered out or

Who Was He?

Editor National Tribune: We were
marching about 20 miles in the rear of
Gen. Davidson's Division of Cavalry,
with our three companies, numbering
about ESQ men, under the command of
Maj. Leipert, a good deal occupied with
the guerrilla bands which got between
us and the main army. One night when
in camp picket brought in a prison.
er. l saw him as he was entering Mai.
Leipert's tent, and thought 1 recog-
nized him, so / started out to look into
the matter, and as 1 passed the Majors
tent the prisoner and Major were sit
ting on camp stools talking very con-
fidentially. / then recognized the pris-
oner as a man / had had charge of
before in camp, and as 1 was passing
he looked up and said, well, Corporal,
where are you going?" 1 hesitated,
and then told him I was going out of
camp to milk q COW If 1 could find one.
He told me to come back in few min
utes, for he wanted me, and the door
of the tent was then closed. A little
while later I saw it opened, and when
1 approached he invited me in, and I
went. The Major then told me to do
what the prisoner asked me to, that it
would be all right, but that / must
look after him. The prisoner and I
then left the tent, and when We got
into the woods he said to me, Now,
Corporal, take off your belt and revol-
yer and give them to me, and you
shall have a good supper tonight"
Pretty soon we entered a house about
mile and a half from camp, where
we found several ladies and three or
four men with a table set for supper.
They all seemed to know the prisoner
and welcomed him cordially, and in
vited him to supper, which invitation
he accepted provided his prisoner could
also partake. We all sat down, and
altho / felt queer. and did not talk
much, my appetite did not fail me.
The talk was all about the Yankees
and in, praise of their troops, and !
learned that Jeff Thompson's forces
were only two miles from us, and that
some of the company present belonged
to his command. AS soon as we were
thru my companion excused himself
saying he must get back to camp with
his prisoner We started out, and when
we entered the woods he unbuckled
my belt, and handed it back to me and
said, Now, Corporal, you must protect
me; I am your prisoner, and we must
hurry and get in. You will find the
tents all struck, and Leiperts men
ready to move, for Jeff Thompson's
command was to surround your camI

Shermnn's Bummers.

Editor National Tribune: Perhaps a
few lines from one of Sherman's bum
mers may be interesting to the COM
rades. Our orders were to forage large
ly on the country, and a detail of about
40 or so men from each regiment was
assigned to that duty, which made a
good force when they kept together.
but they were generally scattered. This
force was mounted on discarded horses
or mules, and the rattle of tin cups,
frying pans, canteens, etc. usually in
dicated what was up. On one occasion,
while marching thru Georgia, my COM
panion and myself. in advance of the
column, were heading for mill some
negros had told us about We heard
there were rebels there, so waited till

one man. We secured good team of
mules and a wagon, which We loaded
with corn and meal. and also fished out
! from a mill pond small brass piece
which they had thrown in to keep out
of our hands. The gun was about five
or six feet long. and was called THE
Lone Star of the West" We loaded
the gun on the wagon. and turned il

who were each personally and deeply
interested in our success. l expected
we would now view the charge on Mis-
sion Ridge, which we instinctively felt
was the next move. From our ele-
waited position we could see the line
of blue stretched northward UP the
Valley for miles, facing the Ridge, while
on the Ridge, and along the west foot
extended the lines of gray, intrenched
awaiting our movements. But we were
destined to take an active part in that
fierce charge. Our brigade was formed
after eating hasty breakfast of hard
tack and coffee, marched back down
the mountains side and took our for
mer place on the right of Thomas S
line. Our line then charged double
quick across the plain under a mus
kerry fire from the rebel infantry and

Ridge. 1t seemed like advancing into

AN INSPIRING SIGHT.
The Fighting On Lookout Mountain and
the Charge Up Mission Ridge

The Fighting On Lookout Mountain and
the Charge Up Mission Ridge
Editor National Tribune: I never
realized how inaccurate most historical
works are until reading in histories of
the civil war of parts of that terrible
conflict in which 1 personally took ID
part I expected to find perfectly re-
liable statements in the Statesman
Series" published by Houghton, Mif-
fin & Co, and generally l suppose they
are correct, and was therefore much
surprised in reading the Life of Lin
coln," one of the series edited by John
T. Morse, Jr., to find the following ac-
count of the battles of Lookout Noun
tain and Mission Ridge, Vol. 2, page
166:
1T was now obvious that the deci-
sive conflict between the two armies,
which had SO long been striving for
the advantage of strategic position and
fighting in hostile competition, was at
last TO occur. Each had its distinctive
advantage. The Federals were led by
Grant, with Sherman, Thomas, Sheri-
dan and Hooker as his lieutenants, a
list which may fairly recall Napoleon
and his Marshals. On the other hand,
the Southerners, lying secure in in
trenched positions upon the precipi-
tous sides of Lookout Mountain and
Mission Ridge, seemed invulnerably
placed. 1t does not belong to this mar
rative to describe the terrific contest
in which these two combatants furi-
ously locked horns on Nov. "a and rs.
It was Hooker's brave soldiers who
performed the conspicuous feat which
was conclusive of victory Having, by
command, stormed the first line of rifle
pits on the ascent, they suddenly took
the control into their own hands. With
out orders they dashed forward, clam
hered upward in a sudden and resist
less access of fighting fury, and in an
hour, emerging above the mists which
anxious view of Gen. Grant, they
planted the Stars and Stripes on top
of Lookout Mountain. They had fought
and won what was POLITICALLY christen-
ed the battle above the Clouds Sher-
man, with seven divisions, had mean
while been making desperate and
bloody assaults upon Mission Ridge,
and had gained the first hilltop, but
the next one seemed impregnable. 1t
was, however, not necessary for him
to renew the costly assault, for Hook
er's victory, which was quickly fol-
lowed by a handsome advance by Sher-
idan, on Sherman's right, so turned the
Confederate position as to make it un-
tenable"

At Cedar Mountain.

Editor National Tribune: am much
interested in McElroy's history. Well
1 remember Aug. 9, 1862. 1 was with
Gen. Prince at Cedar Mountain. Our
position was on the left, in cornfield.
How those rebels made the cornstalks
tumble around our earsi I remember
how our cavalry charged on the CEN
ter, and how the rebels waited till our
cavalry was close, then gave them a
volley, scattering them! They scam
pered back to a wood and reformed.
but to no purpose. I can see those new
troops coming up when our infantry
had charged and driven the enemy
part way across the field on our right.
The new regiments drove our boys
back, broke our line and charged down
on our left. Then it was Gen. Prince
was taken prisoner as the Maryland
regiment on our right had skedaddled.
Many of our boys were left on that
cornfield. Amidst carnage there are
| occasionally laughable incidents. In
Co. I was a man We called Jack of
Spades, being as broad as he was long,
servant of the Captain of Co. I. In
the busiest time came Jack of Spades
with a basket on his arm, filled with
good bread and butter, and inquired
for the Captain, who, he knew. must
be hungry. The Captain was too much
engaged to lunch, and Jack hid the
basket in that cornfeld till we had fin
ished the fight. The rebels persuaded
us to get out of the field, and the bask-
ct was mourned for for many days by
Jack, as he had travelled far to get
that bread and butter for his Captain
remember how Mcdowell passed our
camp in the morning. going thru Gull

camp. About 10 o'clock we passed lis
