stiIts's Battery at Fair Oaks.

Editor National Tribune: / see i'm The
National Tribune an article on the skir-
mish of Fair Oaks. on Oct. 81, 1864, by
Comrade Estes, of the 118th N. Y.
While he calls it a skirmish, to us, Bat
terry A, 1st Pa. l.. A, known as Stilts's
Battery, 1T was quite a lively tilt with
the Johnnies. 1 have never seen an
account of this engagement. Our bat
terry went into action about IL a. m,
and remained there until after dark
We had four-gun battery, and fired
something near 1,100 rounds that after
noon we DleW up a magazine for
them. Our battery was the only one
that fired shot, as 1 remember. We
had three guns disabled and one shell
exploded in front of the gun L was on,
killing four men on No. 1 gun. The
rebels were firing about two to four
feet above the ground We would fire
while they were loading, and when
they were ready tosfire We would drop
ln the ground. We engaged their little
fort and one battery. They tried a cross
fire on us from Charles Cits Crossroads,
out when night came we were relieved
with our one-legged battery by the
10Th N. \. Battery, 3s / remember ii.
The next morning they gave us the
battery of some other coifipany. While
don't remember the regiments en-
gagged L remember the charge, for we
- diiu lHeu over tHc
charging column until they were re-
pulsed and had to 1lie down. Then we
got it from that time on They re-
NAMED there until night, and came out
under cover of darkness.
While it is not for me to criticize our
officials. it looked to. private in full
view of their works. seeing the rein
forcements coming in, that we could
with one of Sheridan's dashes have
laken that line and gotten within reach
Of the city. L have been over the field
since the war. and talked with some of
the rebels who were engaged, and they
Sald that they We're not prepared to re-
sist us at the outset. 1t was my pleas
ure to meet Captain in later years in
Chattanooga, Tenn, who was con-
tractor. l applied to him for work,
and laid brick for him for a week or
10 days. He gave me the facts as
stated. He told me that when we blew
up their magazine We killed and wound
ed 16 men. 1 would be glad to have
some other comrades discuss this. and

readers of The National Tribune.

FATHER OF THE YOUNGEST
DAUGHTER.
A Veteran Father of Young Family.

y veteran Fatlcr Oi NOung Family.
Ephraim Il. Myers, Co. X, 45th Pa.
York, Pa. passed his three score and
! 10 years March 6. and claims to be the
| father of the youngest daughter of a
veteran i'm the United States. His daugli-
ter was born July Z. 1909, at 1906 a.
m If any of the boys of that grand
old regiment. the 45th Pa. or even
any other veteran i'll the United States
can beat that, he would be glad to
hear from him. He was married the
second time Oct. 20. 1895, and hes been
blessed with six children. His first
three sons died when small. He is
proud of his family, and is spending
his old days with much pleasure in its
society
He is naturally in favor of the La
fean bill. which grants pension to all
veterans widows.
Comrade Myers served three years
and five months, was wounded three
times. the last at Poplar Grove Church,
and was taken prisoner. One of his
messmates was killed He was in all
of the battles fought 10y the Army of
the Potomac after crossing the Kappa
hammock up to Petersburg. and went
thru the Wilderness without scratch.
Cos. X and A of his regiment opened
the battle in May for the Second Divi-
sion of the Ninth Corps. They also
opened the fight at Cold Harbor, with
his company numbering SO men, of
whom Is were killed and wounded He
received a slight wound, but stayed
with the boys, and had charge of a
squad which had a flank fire on the
rebel line. paying particular attention
to a battery which was doing much
damage, and was not more than 200
or 250 yards away. The Johnnies re-
treated during the night, and left 55
dead horses on the field. so that he felt
as if his men had done some very fine
work. AT Petersburg. June IS. as the
regiment was moving by the right flank
and he was Acting First Sergeant of
his company, cannon ball passed thru
tree in front of him and struck him
on his left leg, which ended his fighting
for that day. When he got back to
the regiment in the latter part of
August he found it In front of the
Crater, with continuous sharpshooting
at the enemy. who were only 100 yards
away.

Death of Gen. Kearny.

Editor National Tribune: saw in The
National Tribune of Aug. a question
asked by Comrade K. r. Olmstead of
the Sd and 5th Mich, regarding the
death of Gen. Phil Kearny. / was wait
ing for some of the comrades to answer
him, and as they have not done so
thought L would try to refresh his men,
ory. as he and l were in the same bri-
gade in Gen. Kearny's Division. After
the second battle of Bull Run our army
was on the march. On the evening of
Sept. l, a little before dusk, we were
temporarily halted along the road when
Gen. Kearny rode rapidly by with a
very small staff. We gave him a great
cheer as he hurried along. The COM
rade must certainly remember that
cheer. 1t wasn't / 5 minutes later when
III was rumorcd that Kearny was wound
ed or captured at what was called the
battle of Chantilly. or Ok Hill, as the
Confederates call it. AS the comrade
knows. we did not fire shot there and
don't think the other part of our divi-
sion did, either. Therefore, our grand
old General did not have the oppor-
tuHity TO lead a charge. The report of
how Gen. Kearny met his death was
sent with his body into our lines next
morning by Gen. r. E. Lee. This is
the way il happened: Gen Kearny
rode upon 10 or 12 Johnnies unexpeci-
ediy. They halted him. He turned
suddenly and duckeu forward on his
horse. They fired, and he fell from his
horse. When his body was examined II
was hard matter to find the wound
that caused his death. ] remember it
so well, because it was talked about i'm
our regiment for a long time of our
brave old General meeting his death IN
the small battle of Chantilly. This is
what the Confederate General. Long
street. of whom / am a great admirer,
says in bis book. entitled From Manas-
sas to Appomattox." While my reliefs
were going around Gen. Philip Kearny-
rode to the line in search of his division
Finding himself in the presence of Con-
federates, he wheeled his horse and put
spurs, preferring the danger of musket
balls to humiliating surrender. Several
challenges called, but not needed, were
followed by the ring of half dozen
muskets, when he fell mortally hurt,
and so perished one of the most gallant
and dashing of the Union Generals. -

Editor National Tribune: / served in
the I'd Wis. for three years and three
months without a furiough, in the Po-
tomao Army, mostly in the First Corps.
My regiment left the State in June,
1861, with over 1000 men, and came
back to the State in July, 1864, with
about 200 men, the most sorrowfuI
homecoming / ever took part in. The
writings of John McElroy about the
battle of Charlottesville and Gettys-
burg were highly interesting to me, as
] was present, but in my humble opin-
ion think Comrade McElroy made an
error as to the troops that came first to
Gen. BufOrd's support on that never-to-
be-forgotten morning of July /. 1863
when that brave and noble Gen. Rey-
nolds, in command of ours, the First
Corps, rushed us, the Iron Brigade, to
the rescue. and made the bloody charge
and repulsed the enemy. Oh, how

Smoketown Road leads into Hagers-

If the 5th Pa. Reserves advanced

opened the ball, then they were posted
on Dickets on the SmOketown Road
little north of East Woods, about half
to three-quarters of 4 mile from Bloody
Lane. The night of the 10th there was

THE BATTLE OF wH1TEsroNE.
4 Decisive Affair Which Brought Peace
10 the Northwest

As to the battle of Whitestone, the
monument TO which has been recently
dedicated, J. NJ. Feenan, Sergeant. 9Th
Iowa Cav. writes that he was in the
battle. which occurred Sept. 3, 46 years
ago. in what is now Dickey County.
y. ID. The 9Th Iowa Cav. had been
raised after the massacre Of NeW Ulm
to protect the country against the In
dians, and was made up of farmer boys,
who could shoot straight and were
good horsemen. On the morning of
Sept. 8, 1868, the Indian trail became
quite hot. and Maj House halted the
battalion to rest the horses while the
men gathered buffalo chips to make
coffee. Before the coffee beiled they
learned that the Indians We're quite
near, the brgle blew saddle up" and
the regiment started off on the gallon.
They soon found themselves in the
presence of about 5000 Indians, and
realized that they had caught more
bear than they wanted. Mai. House
drew the regiment, numbering about
zoo, back a little ways, and to gain
time called TO the chiefs to surrender.
This was to hold them until Gen Sully
could come up from another direction.
Gen. Sully arrived on time. and the
indians were attacked from both sides
with sharp battle ensuing and the
fighting sometimes hand to hand The
Indians We're defeated and routed, los
ing about 500 killed and $50 prisoners,
besides hundreds of ponies. dogs, etc
In the Indian camps were found arti-
cles taken in the Minnesota massacres

battle, in which we were all taken pris

John Brown, 4th N. J., Indiana. Pa.
There is much dispute as to the mat.
ter which the comrade inquiries about
Gen. Mccall says that the 11th Pa. Re.
serves had in the course of the after
noon relieved the 4th n. J." The 11th
Pa. became involved in severe strug-
gle. and in the course of the fight was
isolated from the rest of the command
and finally retired upon the 4th N. ]
Col. James III. Simpson. 4th N. J., says
that his regiment was moved up to sup
port the Sd Pa. Reserves, and after
that regiment had exhausted its am
munition, moved forward and took its
place, which it maintained from 4
o'clock until nearly Z. Then Col Gal
lagher, of the 18th Pa, came forward
and asked permission to relieve the 4th
n. j., which, as the men were exhaust
ed and their guns had become very
foul. was done. Shortly after the 18th
Pa. took position in the front line, the
enemy advanced on both fanks under
cover of the smoke, and that regiment
was obliged to retreat upon the 4th N.
j. The enemy was strong enough to
nearly surround both regiments, and
captured the most of them. Col. Gal
lagher makes no report.-Editor Ma

NnLROY AT WINCHESTER.
The 18th Conn. Fought Calamity Be-
fore Being Compelled to Surrender.

Editor National Tribune: 1 noticed in
last weeks National Tribune Lieut.
Col. Grayner. of the 122d Ohio, cor
rects my statement that this regiment
surrendered at Carter,s Woods June 5,
1863. and states that it was the 123d
Ohio instead l accept the correction.
as l want my account of "Milroy's Figh.
at Winchester" and all my articles to
be historically correct; but / do not
want it understood to imply there was
any stigma attached to the 18th Conn.
or the 123d Ohio In the affair They
were both splendid regiments, and
stood gallantly by their colors to the
last and fought bravely.' There was
some feeling against Eieut.-Col. Nichols,
of the 18th Conn, among some of The
5th Md. after the surrender. but none
who questioned the courage of officers
or privates. 1 win quote from the his
tory of the 18th Conn. statement of
the occurrence:
After the escape of the First Bri-
gade. as before mentioned, the rebels
prolonged their line to the right, with
view of cutting off the remaining
force from Harper's Ferry, and at the
close of the third charge it was seven
eighths encircled. Escape under these
circumstances was exceedingly difficult.
Col. Ely then raised the white flag. This
consisted of a rubber blanket, the white
side of which was turned in the direc-
ton of the enemy. who was advancing
or making preparations to do so. This
was not discovered at first, or II IL was
the rebels kept up a brisk fire for some
little time. much to the annoyance of
the Union force. The following reasons
are assigned for the surrender: Gen
Johnsons Division, which had been
charged that morning, was in the woods
preparing to charge. and at the same
instant the St0newail Brigade was
thrown across the path % escape IN
the left flank, and advancing rapidly,
so that capture was inevitable, and
nothing but immediate surrender could
prevent great slaughter OF officers or
men, who had fo1gh, gallantly and
obeyed their orders 10 the letter.
j wish again to state that the Con-
federate force consisted of two bri-
gades, Stewards and Walkers Stonewall
Brigade, and Dement'S Battery of John
sons Division. Johnson was not there,
and the surrender was made by Gen
Walker.-C. e. Goldsborough, Hunters
