Gen. EuIler.a Briunde.

Editor National Tribune: In recent
issue of The National Tribune I noticed
an item written by F. c. Ralston, Secre-
tary of Fu!ler's Ohio Brigade Assocfa-
ton, Steubenvllle, o. I wish to state
that after the Winter and Spring OF
1854 Gen. Fuller's Brigade consisted OF
the following regiments: 2Tth and 3Sth
! Ohio. 18th Mo. and Gath ILL.,. "Yatess
Sharpshooters," Of which latter regi-
ment I was member. In May, 1864,
we started from Decatur. Ala, and join

Dodge, until We got to Atlanta; was
then transferred to the Seventeenth
Army Corps. serving in that corps until

was on the skirmish line, and we were
advancing, running down street as
fast as we could While doing so Gen.
Joe Mower caught up with US, and the
gun ahead of us suddenly wheeled
around to the left and fired down the
street When that one stopt firing an
other gun took up the tune. and so with
all the guns The skirmishers had 20

give them room. Gems. Joe Mower and
]. W. Fuller were riding on their horses
right in the artillery circle It was the
neatest little fight I had seen. When
we got thru the city we came to a riv-
er. The Johnnies had put piles of rosin
on the bridge, which they fired even
before they had themselves crost, SO We
captured a few of them. A couple of
our boys ran little way on the bridge,
but the dense smoke and fire made
them turn back At the end Of the
bridge was little toll house, and an.
other fellow and myself got In that
house One of us got on the shoulder
of the other and knocked out a board.
so we could get higher and look across
the river at the Johnnies While we
We're there Gen. Fuller came in and
asked to stand on our shoulders and
look across for himself. which he did
A little way from the house were two
trees and lying dead near them two
boys belonging to one of the Ohio regi-
ments. In passing Gen. Fuller stopt
and looked at them for a few moments.
1T is good thing their folks at home

army. The boys all loved him, AMI

The Newmarket Races.

Editor National Tribune: Referring
to Comrade John NJ Gould's article
stating that Gen. Averill's command
started the race at Martinsburg on
Sept. 1s. 1864. will say we did leave
Martinsburg about s a. m. on the 18th,
and by a forced march got 10 Winches-
ter about 10 a. m. We charged, and
took both forts, and were then ordered
back for some reason which / have
never learned We held the forts until
evening, when the rebs broke and we
followed them up till well into the
night. ! do not know just whore we
stopt that night, but the next day we
went up Fishers Hill, and were put ON
the skirmish line about dark, and the
next morning the fight opened about
daylight, lasting till p. m. At that
time rart OF the Sixth Corps marched
up the mountain In our rear, and came
down along their breastworks and made
the first break in the Confederate lines
This does not look as IL Sheridan had
no confidence in Gen Averi,l / think
the Sixth, Eighth and Nineteenth Corps
and the cavalry divisions certainly did
their duty. My position was holding
four horses all day. We then mounted
and followed the enemy to Woodstock.
and / think camped there for the night
The next day we met them at New
market and had q small neht. Two
men were killed thero. Then we fol-
lowed on up to within four miles of
Stanton. and had enother fight there.

which would have fed the horses for

Editor National Tribune: I was much

of Mission Ridge, which brought back
to my memory some incidents of that
battle which I will relate If you will

10th Ind. and 14th Ohio. lay close to
Fort Wood. The night was dark. but
we marched out just the same We
knew not what was on our right or
left, but we knew there were rebels in
our front. Old Pap" Thomas told us
to take a shovel along. as we might get
the chance to dig hole to crawl into.
We marched out in front of Fort Wood
until We came to some timber. There
We halted for the rest of the night and
went to work putting up breastworks.
AS I emember, we had a pretty good
shelter from the rebs. About daylight
came orders for US to move off to the
left. and all our work was for the bene-
fit Of others. You may think we weren't
mad. If they had turned us loose we
would have gone for the rebs We could
see on the ridge. but, no; they held Ii.
in plain view of them all day, with nine
bulldogs Of the rebs baying at US. If
you don't think that would get a mans
temper up. what would? We moved
along slowly towards the ridge, when
the officers let Ms loose, and we started
to climb the ridge. I tell you, they
were falling on my left and right and
great many in front. but they were
Johnnies. When we got inside their
works they thought 1t vas time for
them to leave. Il was nearly dark when
we got to the top of the ridge. and
found all tho rebs gone who could get
away. We were standing there in the
dark when we heard aonae one coming
towards us from the brush on our left

The Female AIbino.

the comrade who inquired some time
ago II anyone had ever seen a female
albino must have lived in some very re-

have been exhibited in the side-shows
OF circuses for many years, and are
found all over the country. Not many
miles from Steele City is a female al

not an albino among their children.
