A Question of States Rights.

The War Department has before 1t the
question Of militia organizations, armed.
passing through other states than their
own on the way to encampments. This
question comes up in connection with the
movements of militia troops for exercise
this summer with the coast artillery. 1t
Is imagined there will be no difficulty in
the matter. as there has never been any
question in the past concerning the pas
sage through an adjacent state of militia
organizations. Besides, the War Depart
ment has no authority in the matter beyond
designating the places where encampments
and exercises are to be held.

The Case of Maj. Dapray.

The War Department has received advices
that indicate that Major John A. Dapray.
U. s. A, retired, will remain on duty with
the Florida militia. The governor has for
warded a tribute to that officer and indi-
Gates that he does not share the views of
the adjutant general of the state rejecting
upon Major Daprays fitness to act as in
structor and inspector of the militia. 1t is

Chas. Porter, Co. E, 18th VT, Grin
nell, Iowa, says Comrade Philb,ick, OF
Hoquiam. Wash, quotes from a copy
of the New York Herald of April g.
1865, which states conclusively that
Gen. A. p. Hill was killed in front OF
Fort Malone, thereby ignoring the tes-
timony of every historian who nen-
toned the fact of Hills death, and also
that of Gen. Longstreet, who was al
most an eyewitness of the same. Gen.
Longstreet had occupied the lines north
of the James River, and had arrived at
Gen. Lees headquarters ahead of his
men, who came on train, while Long
street and his escort rode their horses,
in order, as he says, that the train would
not be delayed by loading the horses
of the headquarters. When Longstreet
arrived at Lees tent the General had
not arisen from his cot, and as he came
out of the tent Longstreet pointed out
to him skirmish line of Union soldiers,
which was advancing toward him. Or
derlies were flying around when Gen.
Hill rode forward with single attend
ant to find his command, and, according
to LongstreetS account, he came unex-
pectedly upon the blue-coated skirmish-
ers. One account says he ordered them
to surrender, but whether he did or not,
as soon as possible he and his orderly
their horses in an effort to es-
cape, when the boys fired. bringing Gen.
Hill to the ground dead, but the at
tendant escaped. This occurred in the
early morning of April 2, 1865, and
miles from Fort Malone. Gen. A p
Hill lost his life, not leading his men in
person to take Fort Malone or any
other fort. All the historians and lead
ing Generals agree on this account

At Peach Tree Creek.

Editor National Tribune: An article
by Comrade Newberry on the little
scrap at Peach Tree Creek reminds me
that 1 was there, too. At o'clock on
the morning of July 20, 1864, we were
called up to build additional bitches to
our works to protect us from the cross
fire, as the enemy could be heard work.
ing very busily not far away. At the
hrst streak of daylight the enemy, on
our front, about 60 rods along some
brush, opened fire on us and before our
skirmishers could get in over the works
four men were severely wounded. This
opened the ball for the day. The field
between our works and the enemy was
an old stubblefield, with our line on a
little ridge about 20 feet above the gen.
eral level. This gave us a good view
of the enemy. A little to our left q rail
fence ran directly from our works to
theirs, and west of the fence was a corn
field. and early in the morning two men
of the 18th Ohio were badly wounded
and could not get away. They called
for help and for water, and the enemy
would not give them either nor let us
do SO. The calls became weaker and
weaker, until 4 o'clock in the evening
they stopt entirely. Cos. /, F and G of
the 18th Ill. were deployed as skirmish-
ers and advanced to the woods. When
We got there the enemy had just left.
however we captured one prisoner,
who seemed to have left the main line
and fallen behind back of a big tree
where the shelter was more secure.
When he heard US come up he mistook
US for his comrades, but when he show
ed himself in our front the first man
who saw him shot him without hating.
He was badly wounded, and was taken
to the rear and died before morning.
These two men who called for water all
day were found dead. They had pulled
up the green cornstalks and chewed the
sap to allay their fierce thirst.-Henry

Another Opposed to the Canteeu.

Editor National Tribune: Comrade
Woodring's article against the canteen.
published some time ago IN The Ma
tional Tribune, calls up memories of
camp life on the border of the dismal
swamp. when ! was a member of the
130th N. Y, afterwards called the 1st
N. Y. Dragons. The question arises
now, as then. what use has soldier for
any sort Of alcoholic drink? The regi-
ment had been suffering for some time
with malariai fever, swamp" or
"breakbone" fever. as 1t is called in the
South. Quite a number of the regiment
had died, and those who recovered were
long time unfit for duty or were Grip
pied with rheumatism, some of them
+ permanently crippled. The puzzled old
Surgeon was a good man. but had be-
come greatly discouraged trying to fight
this swamp fever, and he issued an or
der recommending that every man
should drink his whisky ration as a
preventive or an antidote against the
malaria. and that all who did not use
tobacco should begin doing so for the
same purpose. There happened to be
whole tent full of fellows, five, in Co.
H. who had followed the habit of seeing
things for themselves, and they found
out that 81 of the 100 men in the COM
pany used no whisky or any intoxicat-
ing drink, and that 23 of these 81 used
no TOBACCO. A reference to the Orderly
Sergeant's book showed that the 81 alb
stainers had been on full duty more
days than the other 73 had while in
Camp Suffolk by the swamp, SO we vot-
ed the Doctors order or advice no good
to us. and refused to adopt it. We
made a statement, which we sent to the
five papers that we wrote for, and in
few days, when this printed statement
came back to camp, there was some
kicking by a few. but the good Doctor
took the right course and looked the
other companies over, called the COM
manding officers attention to the facts.
and the result of the whole was total
stopping of the issue of whisky rations
to the regiment. What use has soldier
for strong drink, anyhow? Perhaps
some of the old boys of Co. H, LIST N. Y.
Dragons, will see this, and, If so, 1
hope they will give us word. Per-
haps 1 am not just correct as to the

The Charge Mt Stone River.

Editor National Tribune: A CORE
epondent in recent issue denies that
charge was made at Stone River on
the 31st of December, between the
Nashville pike and the cedar woods, and
that from his standpoint it seemed
worse than forlorn hope for any regi-
ment to attempt such charge. 1 was
one OF regiment that made that
charge, and there are several of us still
living. The regiment that made the
charge was the 23d Kan. They learned
early th-t the first duty of soldier was
10 obey orders, especially in front of an
enemy. In the battle that took place
on the I'd of January, on the south side
Of Stone River, this regiment charged
on the right flank of Breckinridge's Di-
vision, within IS yards of the celebrated
New Orleans Battery, halted to reform
for the last stretch. when Gen. Hazen
suddenly appeared and stopt the move
ment. Had Hazen stayed away that
battery would have fallen into our
hands. cannot locate exactly the po-
sition OF the Regular Brigade. Our bril-
gade. Gross's, of Palmer's Division, was
relieved about daylight in front of the
