hunting dog Ben. belonging to Col. Car
rington." Now, Comrade John Guthrie
no doubt performed the sad duty OF
bringing in the dead from the field, but
why does he (Guthrie) confound Fort
Fetterman with Fort Phi ] Kearny, D.
t? The 81 men killed all belonged to
| Fort Phil Kearny, and the forts are
miles apart, Fort Fetterman was not
established TIL some time after the mas
sacre of Lieut.-Col. VIM. i. Fetterman.
As TO the picket hill at Fort Phi
Kearny 1 can say, for / was on the last
detail made, and I was the last man to
descend that hill at sunset. Til. next
day we abandoned that garrison; in
fact, that section of that country we
call Northwest, that comprised from
the Big Horn River to the North Platte
River. The regiment ws= ordered to
congregate at the North Platte. We did
| so, and then were ordered down To
Kansas on the Republican River. We
campaigned after Indians there, say,
three months or SO. After that all par
! ties broke up, and our regiment was the
/ first to garrison the Omaha Barracks,
| in December, 1853. What is more, ]
was on escort duty, escorting Col. Car
rington at the time he accidentally shot
| himself just outside from Fort Casper
| 1t did not amount to much, for after
! the confusion was over we resumed our
! journey to Fort Leavenworth. Perhaps
that was in or about February, 1861

THE RUSTIC CHURCH.
1t Was Built by the 5Oth Y. Y. Eng.
Not by The "MOZarISn or 10Th n Y.

Editor National Tribune: 1 would ike
| to say a word concerning the theater
Comrade Floid speaks of as be ng built
by the Mozart Regiment, or the 40th
n. Y. / never have noticed in your
much-appreciated paper where anyone
claimed that the 50th N. Y. Eng. ever
did anything, but / will say now that
the 50th n. Y. Eng. built the building
that the 10th n. Y. had their theater in.
1t was built for church, of trees split
in two, hewn smooth on the split side,
set up endwise, with bark side out. The
body of the building was 16 feet high,
with good shingled roof, and had four
gables and an arched entrance under
the steeple. It was of very pretty de-
sign. A big fireplace was in each end.
The stage or speakers platform was
opposite the entrance, leaving the audi
torium one large room suffic ent to seat
$50 people on stools. The steeple was
masterpiece-an engineer caStle-be-
ing formed out of very small pine poles
in the last square before the steeple as
sumed a spiral form. The chimneys
were also very artistically trimmed, as
well as windows. small pine poles for
holdings being used on this work. This
building was made by the 50th n. Y
Eng, as well as the 159-foot lookout,
which was built to the left of Peters,
burg. The Rustic Church, as it was
called, was used for religious worship
a few times. There were three theatri-
cal performances in it. and then the bat
tie that the Sixth Corps took so promi-
nent part in was pulled off, and it was
used as hospital, where many wound
ed were cared for.
Now, comrades, you who did so much
fighting and who put down the rebel
lion. don't try to monopolize the honor
due the Engineers, or we may pic. you
up again.-Geo. NJ. Swift, Co. f, 5Oth

REEDS BRIDGE.
Tho Fight Of McCoOk's Brigade on Fri
day and Saturday.

Editor National Tribune: wish to
give Serg't A. A Braley, Co. =, 4th
Mich. Cav, a. correct account of what
happened at Reeds Bridge. on the
Chickamauga, where the monuments Of
the several regiments of Col. Dan Nc
Cooks Brigade and the 69th Ohio and
the cavalry regiments that fought there
Sept. IS and 19 are in position.
The cavalry called Minty Saber Bri-
gade fought on the 18th. The Confed-
crates were encamped on the east side
of the creek. On Friday evening Col.
Dan McCook's Brigade and the 69th
Ohio were ordered out to burn the
bridge that the cavalry failed to destroy
short distance from the bridge we
caught up to the rear of the Confeder-
ate wagon train that was on its way to
the bridge, and captured eight of them
that marched in the rear, thinking of
no danger We could have captured the
| wagon train, but we were sent to burn
the bridge and not to bring on an en-
gagement. My company Cd and Co. Il
OF the S6th Ill. with 20 men from the
52d Ohio. did picket duty on the right
of the road on q raVine leading down to
| the spring. Capt. Barnett'S I'd Ill Bat
terry. with the brigade, camped on top
of the hill. Late in the night the 69th
ONO made an effort and destroyed part
| OF the bridge, SO that the COnfederates
were compelled to ford the creek above
and below the bridge. On Saturday
morning. the 18th, at the break of day,
1 the ConfedeTates attacked our picket
| line. First the cavalry came up in a
line of battle. We let them come quite
close, when I ordered my men to fire.
and from the great number of dead
horses left On our front there must have
been many men killed and wounded.
The infantry. with a skirmish line, soon
made their appearance. / ordered my
men to fall back on the brigade. Their
ARTILLERY opened on us. In the mean
thine Gen. Thomas ordered Col. Dan Nc
cooks Brigade and battery back. Col.
lMcCook sent Capt. Swift back TO notify
1.-THE 69th Ohio and my company, but he
lgave the 69th Ohio the notice. but failed
Ito notify me. When / got back to the
Iroad and found our brigade gone
marched my men back. Comrade Bra
ley is mistaken if he thinks the G9th
was not at Reeds Bridge.
After the battle of Missionary Ridge
/ took Co. y of the seth III. out to
where we fought Saturday morning.
Sept. 10. TO bury some of the men killed
We buried Bennett, and we captured
two Confederates who had been in the
fight that morning with the cavalry
One said his cousin was killed there
They showed US % graves close to the
spring. men that our men killed that
morning. Col. Dan McCooks Brigade
did the first fighting at Chickamauga on
Saturday morning. the 18th. We camped
that Saturday night near McAfee
Church. and fought near Cloud Spring.
The Confederates had our hospital on
Sunday morning. but We drove them
out and used it for our wounded. AS

to the north bank Of the Kentucky
River.
Before the retreat from Danville Gen.
Carter ordered me to proceed to Lam
caster, KY, with so picked men from
the 1st KY. Cav. to watch the move
~ments of the enemy in that direction
and to remain there until ordered away
NossEch order ever came from the Cen

TO be sent me were all captured, and ]
was in blissful ignorance of the where

At this iuncture and somewhere near
midnight Col. Ben =. Runkle, COM

saddle up and proceed to Camp Dick

as Gen. Carter had commanded me to

Col. Runkle replied: Our forces
have been driven back from Danville,
and We must form a junction with them
as quick as may be at Camp Dick Rob-
insOn. ! rank you, and you must obey
my orders
We were soon in the saddle and given
the, advance, being well acquainted with
The country. The night was dark and
q uflZZlng ram was falllnS. Near the
old brick church my little squad of so
men ran upon the pickets, not of our
own forces. as we expected, but of
those of the enemy.
They were all asleep, and they were
made prisoners before they knew it.
The question then presented itself:
What shall / do?" made up nv mind
in a flash and said: Boys, we will 20
thru or die. They are all asleep, and
We have their picketsn
Gabe Greenleaf was by my side, and
] dispatched Joe Blackeby to inform
Col Runkle that instead of meeting our
own We were upon the enemy, and !
was going to charge thru their camp.
Whether Col. RunkIe ever received
the message j may never know; but this
much do know, he came laundering
down the pike right behind me with
the brave and gallant 44th and 45th
Ohio
After had passed the barn that
stood in the forks of the two pixies Col.
Runkle ordered Lieut. Lennon to take
the advance. but the gantlet had then
been run, and we got somewhat mixed
.lip in the darkness, and so, CAPTURING
the pickets at BryantsviIIe. we crossed
the Kentucky River about daylight
No shot was fired, and the charge
was success. The boys used to call IL

not gone thru we would have all been
captured the next morning.

Editor National Tribune: Early in
the month of March, 1863 (between
the 1st and 10th), Gen. Pegram made
Il raid into Kentucky with a force of
$500 cavalry and three pieces of artil-
lery. At the time the 1st KY. Cav. was
guarding the south bank of the Cum

set. On Pegram's approach we were
ordered by Gen. Gilmore, whose head
quarters We're at Lexington, TO fall back

After reaching Danville Gen. Carter,
who was killed at the siege of Knox
