The Charge at Bal.kI.v..

Editor National Tribune: The first
article in your octs Is issue has devel-
oped quite a discussion as to why the
Charge of the Light Brigade" was
ordered at Balaklava. One comrade
asserts that France lost more than two
men to each of England's ono In the
Crimean war, and that this dash Of a
command of riffran was to give food
for euIogies that such self-evident dis
creetness'' might wear the mask OF
vaIor. Can you deny or confirm this
charge: or better still, can you submit
the several losses Of the various COM
batants in the Cgimean war?-Finley J.
Norris, Harrisburg. Pa.
we have not the exact figures at hand
10 give the comparative losses of the
combatants in the Crimea. The French
undoubtedly lost great many more
tnan the English IN battle. since they
mad q much larger force. They did not
lose SO many by disease, however. as
the French soldiers were better cared
for than the English, and did not suffer
SO much from the cholera and other
diseases
i The celebrated charge of the, Light
business, and accomplished nothing
more than the display OF the gaflantry
Of the soldiers. It was made under q
mistake of orders. The intention was
for the Light Brigade to advance, and
prevent the Russians carrying of some
guns which they had been compelled to
abandon. Instead of this, Lord Cardi-
gan directed the head of his column in
another direction and down a valley
completely commanded by Russian cam
non. 1t was a criminal waste Of men,
and only lives in memory on account

Pension. I'M Soldiers, Homes.

Members of the Pennsylvania Sol
diers and Sailors Home at Erie, Pa,
write that Nov. the Board Of Manag-
ers issued an order that all members
drawing pensions in excess of 81 a
month must pay to the Commander
within 10 days that excess. Quite a
ndlmber of the inmates paid no atten-
ton to this order, and Dec. 1 there
was another order read in the lining
room to the effect that If the excess ef
pensions over 81 month was not paid
to the Commander inside Of 10 days
those members would be discharged
from the Home who failed to do as or
dered. Those who had dependent ones
would be paid back as much Of their
pensions as the Board thought neces-
sary. A proportion of the inmates have
no dependent ones, but they have in
CURED debts which they want to reim-
burse with their pensions, but will not
be able to do so under this new rule.
They feel that their lot is a hard one.
since they have been disfranchised. and
now their allowance from their Govern
ment is taken from them.

The Terrific Fight on Sunday Afternoon
for Snodgrass Ridge.
Editor National Tribune: The battle
Of tshiekamauga was fought among the
hills and valleys along and near the
Chattanooga and Lafayette road, be-
tween the Chiekamauga River and Mis-
sionary Ridge, from to 12 or IA miles
south of Chattanooga
The Chickamauga is a very crooked
stream, the general course being in
n6rtherly direction, Missionary Ridge
extends in. the same general direction
from point about two miles west of
Crawnsh Springs to the Tennessee Riv-
err Rossville, the old home of Chief
John Ross, of the Cherokee Indians,
when that noble tribe lived in Georgia,
IS at the base OF the ridge at the en-
trance to Rossviile Gap, thru which the
Lafayette road passes to the east side of
the ridge, turning south at the junction
OF the Ringgold road From that point
4he road leads nearly due south to Lee
* Gordon's Mills. Clouds Spring on
this road, is three miles from Rossville,
McDonald's place mile farther, Kelly's
farm nearly a mile still farther south,
BFetherton's place a mile farther, Vin@
yards a mile farther on, and Lee &
Gordon's mile and half from Vim
yards. The Dry Valley, or Crawfisk
Springs road, crosses the ridge at Nc
\ Far!and's Gap. three miles south of
Ressville. leading southeast two and
one-half miles to Vittetoe's place, and
thence nearly due south thru a valley
at a distance of about one mile from
the Lafayette road to Crawfish Springs.
Between the two roads is a range of
low hills, thence eastward the land
slopes gently to the Lafayette road.
and from there to the creek the land
moderately rolling. mostly in timber.
Snedgrass Hill is a. high ridge extend
ing from northeast to southwest, the
Snodgrass% House being on the north
slope. about rnree-auartsfs of mile
west Of the Kelly place The ridge at

Prisoner. of War.

William II. Lawrence, I'd Mass. Cav.
says very earnestly that proper credit
has never been given the prisoners Of
war, and they have never received JUS
-tice at the hands of our Government.
They endured more suffering and hard
ships than any other body OF men In
the service, and performed more SER
vice as prisoners than they would have
had they been in the field. He can
speak with authority, since he was
prisoner for over year. and saw
the inside of six stockades. There were
127, 900 Union soldiers captured during
the war, of whom 1900 died. These
prisoners were instrumental in keeping
from the field 100000 Confederates,
who had been rested and fed up and
well clothed in our Northern prisons.
