HIS LOST PISTOLS.
One of Col. Hinman Rhodes's RevOivers
Returned.

f. NJ. Rhodes, Apalachin. y. Y, sends
us a very interesting story of two pis-
tolls, ivory handled with silver mount
ings. which belonged to his father, Hin
man Rhodes, Colonel of the 2Sth Ill.
The pistols were present and highly
valued. They were inscribed "Hinman
Rhodes. Major. 2Sth III. Inf" They
were lost in fierce fight with Forests
men and nothing more heard of them
until Lieut. William Noonan, formerly
of the same regiment. wrote that he had
gotten track of the weapons. Before
he could recover them he was laid to
rest in the National Cemetery at Nat
chez Miss Col Rhodes then took up
the search for his pistols himself, and
after considerable correspondence with
members of Forests Cavalry. at last
located one of his pistols In the hands
of Mai H B. Vaughn of Kingston,
Miss. Maj. Vaughns letters We're ad-
mirable in their loyalty and Soldiership
Finally. Capt. Foster.S NatcheZ, Miss,
forwarded one of the pistp TO- Col Hin
man Rhodes by express, with touch
ing letter. in which he said: ."Looking
back for nearly half century. the war
seems like a horrid dream; but it was
terrible. with the god of battles with
the Union army in the greatest of civil
wars. and all is well. Out of that war
is born to us and our children a Nation
which is slow to anger. boasts not of
vainglory. but. in the defense of right,
is unconquered and unconquerable."
The pistol finally reached Pasadena, Cal,
and syas opened with trembling hands
by one who had travelled by the side of
Col Hinman Rhodes for 40 years. He
had died five days before the pistol ar
rived, and it was his widow to whom 1t
came Any information regarding the
remaining pistol will be gladly received
by Mrs. ]. NJ. Rhodes, Pasadena. Cal.

TALKED MOST OF THEIR DEFEATS
Around Their CampHres the Veterans of
the Potomac Said Little of Their Vie
tories.

Editor National Tribune: The SOL
diers OF the Army OF the Potomac never
talked very much about the engage
ments in which they we're successful,
but entered into never-ending discus
sions as to those they lost, whether big
or little. They continue this to this day,
when two or more are gathered togeth-
er. Thus your late chapters of the his
tory of that army are of intense interest
to them. and will be read over and over
again. and it is just such chapters that
we want a lot of them.
The battle of Charlottesville is one
such subject, from the hour of it's first
movement and until the last two partici-
pants cross the river for the last time.
The problem of that battle Is finally
resolving itself into a psychological one
of the condition of the mind of Gen.
Hooker. If he had been ordered as q
corps commander to attack or to pre-
pare for attack, he would have done
so, and brilliantly up to the moment ne
was actually disabled, but as command
er of the army he displayed less ability
and energy than possessed by any one
of his orderlies.
In fact, 1 have wanted and waited to
read plain judicial statement from
some enlisted man who was on duty at
Gen. Hooker's headquarters at that
time. ] hope your history will bring
out some such statement Gilbert

THE FISRT CORPS AT GETTYS-
BURG.
Another Contribution to the Route to
the Battlefield.

Editor National Tribune: In your is
sue of the 23d inst. is sketch by B. H.
Tripp, which he claims shows the route
of the First Corps to Gettysburg on
July 1, 1853. While his regiment is not
stated, it appears from his narrative
that he belonged to. the First Brigade.
he claims for the corps may be correct
for the First Brigade, First Division, 80
First Division, First Corps. The route
far as any personal knowledge of mine
goes, but it certainly does not agree
v'i'1 The majority Of records, and also
labors under the disadvantage of ap-
pearing to have accomplished an i'm
possibility He says, THE road we
marched on from Marsh Creek must
.. IaneyIown road. A refer
ence 10 any maps to which i have ac-
cess seems to show conclusively that
this could not be done He further SAYS
that the First Corps did not march
around Gettysburg nor on the EmmitS-
burg pike (which should be road, not
pike), white his sketch plainly shows
that his portion of the corps did not go
thru, but around Gettysburg. Our divt-|
sion, Third of the First Corps, started
on a wade some distance west of the
Emmitsburg road, crossed Marsh Creek
below its junction with Willoughby's
Run; then the Second Brigade went
across to the Emmitsburg road, striking
it about the Peach Orchard. thence on
it to Codon's, where it crossed the fields
to the left, coming out on the Hagers-
town road, short distance below the
seminary, from which point it moved
to a position on the right of the Iron
Brigade" with its right extended to the
lChambersburg pike at McPhersons. The
First Brigade of our division did no.
cross to the Emmitsburg road. but con-
tinued up Willoughbys Run, taking
post on the left of tine Iron Brigade
Meredith's. AS to the route of the
Second Division, First Corps, /, of
course, know nothing; but all accounts
which | have read agree that it moved
on the Emmitsburg road, was at first
posted in reserve at the seminary. and
afterwards held positions on the right
iof the First Corps. Col. Batchelder
says, "Wadsworth and Robinson moved
on the Gettysburg and Emmitsburg
road, the Third Division on a parallel
road some distance farther west"
can't help wondering If Comrade Tripp
has been over the ground since the
battle 1t seems to me that he is some
what mixed While he says it must
have been the Taneytown road on which
they marched from Marsh Creek his
sketch shows them crossing the Taney
town road from the direction of the
baltimore pike. How does he explain
this method of marching from Marsh
Creek WIN. X. Ramsey, co. +, 150th

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

Tenn.-An appeal from the decision
of the Auditor for the War Department
or Navy Department should be made to
the Comptroller of the Treasury,
Y. Y. T.. Des Moines, Iowa.-The Sec
retary of War is authorized by the act
of desertion standing on the rolls against
any soldier under certain conditions.
Some of the conditions are as follows:
That the soldier served faithfully un-
til the expiration of his enlistment. or
until May 1. 1865, provided he had pre-
viously served six months or more.
If within reasonable time the soldier
voluntarily returned TO his command
and served faithfully until discharged.
If a soldier absented himself from
his command or from hospital while
suffering from wounds, injuries or dis
ease received or contracted in the line
of duty, if upon recovery he voluntarily
returned and served faithfully there
after, or if he was prevented from re-
turning by reason of wounds. injuries
or disease before expiration of his ser
vice.
If soldier was a minor and was en-
listed without the consent of his parent
or guardian and was released from SER
vice by order of any court. He is not,
however, entitled to any bounty or pay
for any time he Was not performing
military duty.
If soldier while in desertion who
re-enlists in another organization, pro-
vided he did not secure a bounty or
other gratuity to which he would not
have been entitled had he remained
under his original term of enlistment.
The re-enlistment must have been it'll
in four 4) months from the date of
his desertion. II also requires that SER
vice under his re-enlistment must have
been faithful.
Henry, Concord. N. H.-The follow
ing decision of the Secretary of the
Interior. dated April IL, 1907, fully an
swers your question:
Soldier enlisted in a Massa chusetts
regiment and deserted therefrom. He
subsequently enlisted in a Maine regi-
ment. and was honorably discharged
therefrom. While serving under the
last contract of service he received an
executive pardon for said desertion, on
condition that he serve out faithfully
his enlistment in said Maine regiment,
a condition fulfilled by him. He was
never formally discharged from the
service he deserted.
Held: Said pardon operated merely
to relieve him of all the consequences
and disabilities attaching to the offense
of desertion, but it did not operate as
discharge from said service.
Neither does it operate to expunge
from the record the fact that soldier
enlisted in said Massachusetts regiment.
that he deserted, and that he has never
been discharged therefrom.
AS soldier received bounty other than
from the United States on account OF
his subsequent enlistment, in excess of
that which he would have received had
he faithfully fulfilled the obligation of
his first contract of enlistment, he is
not constructively discharged from said
term of service under the provisions of
the joint resolutions of July 1. 1902,
and June 2S. 1906. Not having been
honorably discharged from all terms of
service during the late civil war, he has
no status under the act of June q,
1899.
