A PRIvATE.s VIEW OF ANTIETA,I
A Magnificent Spectacle Seen From South
Mountain.

Editor National Tribune: The history
which you are so ably writing of the
dear old Army of the Potomac calls up
most vividly many of the hard-fighting
and earnest men who kept on fighting
under the fncompetency of its different
commanders (they are all dead now,
and may God rest their ashes) / will
try to tell you how the Antietam cam
paign looked from a private's point of
view. PleasOntOn's First Brigade of
Cavalry got to Chantilly, and fired a
few shots to emphasize the weak sup
port which Mcclellan gave Pope; thence
the readjustment which created a two
brigade division under Pleasonton. We
then crossed Chain Bridge, where we
found ourselves in daily touch with

A Terrible Picture of the Slaughter in
Front of the Stone Wall-The Irish

Editor National Tribune: Like all
other veterans of the rebellion. particu-
larly. those who We're there, / have been
much interested in your account of the
assault on Marye's Nights, at Fred
ericksburg. Your description stirs the
blood of the old boys who followed the
flag on that memorable occasion.
1t is not to be expected that You can
be literally correct in every particular,
as it was a long line to cover, from
above the city on our right to below
Franslin's Crossing on our extreme left.
Speaking of the advance from the city
against the Hights, you say that
Frepch's Division was selected by Sum
ner to lead the advance, supported by
Hancock's Division. A millrace inter
sected the field, halfway up, parallel
with the Union line. | quote:
"a little beyond the race the ground
rises slightly. and this afforded a cover
which was needed to complete the de-
ployment of the division. These obsta-
cles' delaying French's advance. the
eager Hancock easily caught up with
him, and the divisions became some

HOOD At NASHVILLE.
The Union Army Was Successful All
Along the Line the First Day.

Editor National Tribune: Many of the
old Union soldiers must have read with
much interest the able articles of Gen
Hood, formerly published in your pa
per, giving his account Of the military
movements of his army in its campaign
against Nashville. where the great and
decisive battle of Nashville was fought
Dec. Is and 16, 1864. And while GER
tainly great credit is cheerfully accord
ed 10 Gen. Hood and his army for bray-
cry and stubborn fighting on that occa-
sion, yet some of us who were in his
front all during that TWO days conflict
must differ with him materially as to
certain facts he states and claims he
makes in those articles which have ap-
peared in The National Tribune.
In his relation of The battle of Nash
vile. appearing in The National Trib-
une, Gen. Hood says: "Thruout that
day (Dec. l5) they (the Federal army)
were repuised at ali points of the gen.
eral line with heavy loss. and only sue
ceeded towards evening in capturing
the infantry outposts on our left, and
with them the small force together with
the artillery posted in these unfinished
works"
