Church Rev. B. V. Bazata preached an
able sermon on Sabbath observance.
He believes that the Sabbath was made
for man to observe rightly.
Apropos of Sunday baseball which is
popular on this island, Maui citizen
suggests that holiday granted to plan
tation laborers Saturday afternoons
would prove a successful antidote, and
until such a grant is made, no legal
objection should be made.

The news of the death of Mrs. Dan

FIRST UNION TROOPS IN COLUM.
BIA, s. @.
The 18th Iowa and Its Regimental Flag.
The Burning Of the City.

Editor National Tribune: In a re.
cent issue of The National Tribune was
a short article by that good old vet. S.
], Phillips. Co. H. 97th Ind, who laid
claims to the honor of his regiment be.
ing the first Union troops to enter Col
umbia, etc. Now, here is my recollec-
tion Of the capture and burning of COL
umbia. Gen. John A. Logan, Command
er OF the Army of the Tennessee, rode
up to our line, where either the 9th
Ohio battery or the 1st MINI. were
shelling the State House from the bluffs
on the opposite side Of the river, and
asked Col. Kennedy. commanding the
13h Iowa, IL he had any men who
would cross the river in the face of
$4,000 Johnnies. Col. Kennedy called
the regiment in line and asked for two
companies who were willing to risk the
crossing. Cos. G and H, consisting of
about so men, slept to the front and
onered their services. Leaving behind
everything except guns, accoutrements
and plenty Of shells, they descended the
hillside to the bank Of the river Hav-
ing procured barge they crost the
river IN two detachments. and landed
below the city near an old mill. They
formed below the brow of the bluff and
marched up into the city. When they
reached the State House the rebel flag
was flying and the Johnnies not more
than three squares away II the men
of Comrade Phillips regiment were the
first Union troops in the city, why did
they not take down the rebel flag ?
Comrade Maui, of Co. II, 18th Iowa
rushed into the State House. seized the
Old Glory which the rebs had put
away, hauled down the stars and bars
and ran up the Stars and Stripes, as
we'll as the regimental colors of the
18th Iowa. In the evening when the
Fifteenth Corps boys came in they took
our colors, marched thru the city with
them, and returned them to us when
they got tired of them. Now, as to the
burning of the city, where the fire
to my recollection the river flows near
ly in an easterly direction, and the city
Is on the north of the river The night
of the burning the wind blew quite
strong from the southeast, and 1t was
in that direction, with reference to the
city, that the Johnnies fired the bridge
which crost the river together with
some Government supplies. The Cam
den road, of which Comrade Phillips
speaks, leads to the northeast from Col
umbia to Camden. From about II
o'clock to a. m. we of the 18th Iowa
had to skip around lively to keep from
being burned. The old State House
basement was used as an arsenal, and
was full of shells. When the fire
reached that place there was some
thing doing, you better believe Some
of the poor boys started 20 leave the
place, but 1 guess they went to the
arms of Abraham, for I never heard OF
their return This is just as 1 remem-

MISSION RIDGE.
A Splendid Description Of the Spectacu-
lar Assault.

Editor National Tribune: Your issue
Of Dec. Is, with John McElroy's account
of the Assault On Mission Ridge" is
by far the most accurate description of
that wonderful spectacular charge that
has come to my notice. The author
seems to have got his inspiration from
a place in the line Of those splendid
battaIions of Baird, Wood. Sheridan
and johnson. who had been engaged
chiefly in the Conservation" business
for almost three days prior to the hour
when the six shots from Orchard Knob
set them in motion toward Mission
Ridge.
B. F. Taylor's description of the ad-
vance up the Ridge is genuine pen
picture of the scenes near the crest OF
the Ridge, as witnessed by the writer,
who was put out of the battle by
rebel bullet, and was not far from mid
way between the Ridge and Orchard
Knob when our men went over the
works on the crest of Mission Ridge.
John McElroy has, in my opinion.
written the most truthful account Of
those three days operations. Nov. %.

Editor National Tribune: In your
valuable paper Of Dec. 27, have just

not dispute what he says. for was not
there. but a six-footer is pretty long for
rattler, especially for one found in
Indiana. AZ for the two that were
asleep, and especially the one he cut
open, finding inside a full-grown gray
rabbit, with just a little of the fur off,
it looks to me that all the fur could
have been off that rabbit, and the story
would still have been little hard to
swallow, as we'll as the rabbit. When
l compare the common gray rabbit of
Indiana with the little rattlers that
used to be so numerous in this State,
I have to stretch myself little, as he
and his rattler had to do. in order TO
swallow his story. Well, I shall try and
tell true story, and 1t is snake one,
too, tho the snakes were not so large
and long as my good comrades were.
In 1861 1 and an older brother were
doing some grubbing; 1t was In the
Spring of the year. Our little sister
came out in the clearing and was play
ing in one of the holes from which we
had taken out a large grub. Presently
we heard her say "Snake!" We went
where she was, and commenced kill
ing garter snakes, and we kept it up
until we had killed 80. Also. in the
Summer of 1863, while working on
Stillwell Prairie. in Laporte County. for
Mr. Josiah Wing, I was one day grub
bling out some scattering grubs in
meadow (they were burroak grubs. with
quite a bed of leaves around themJ, and
in moving these leaves I found and
killed seven rattlers in a half day. The
rattlers, as near as I can remember,
ranged In length from Is to "a inches
long, with rattles from two to seven In
number. With best wishes for the COM

right, but when Comrade Duncan goes
on to say that Rosecrans had more love
of country than all Of them, meaning
Grant, Halleck and Stanton, he simply
states what he must know to be incor-
rect, and what the great mass of living

Gen. Rosecrans in western Virginia
and am willing. to give him great credit
as a soldier and patriot. but am not
willing to read such stuff as above
quoted without a word of rebuke. Gen

himself for anything he did, but was
always ready to give credit when and
where it was due Modest. brave and
unassuming, he performed the great
work assigned him and never failed in
doing it. Any man who would attempt
to take any laurels from the fame Of
the silent soldier, Gen. U. s. Grant, is
