Hood BIames Hardce.

As usual, Gen. Hood blamed Hardee
for the failure of winning the crushing
victory he had hoped for and so care
fully planned. But, then, Hood always
blamed Hardee for everything. There
were rancorous jealousies enough in the
Union army, the Lord knows, and it is
some little consolation to know that
there were just as bitter ones in the
Confederate army. Hood says that he
made every preparation during July
81, and summoned to his tent Hardee,
Stewart and Cheatham, commanding
his three corps. with Wheeler com,
manding the cavalry corps and G. w
,, Smith the Georgia Militia. He gave
them their orders. and went over his
Instructions minutely to those assem-
bled, in order that each might under
stand not only his duties, but those of
his brother officers. AS to the execu-
ton of this plan, Hood says:
After awaiting nearly the entire
morning heard, about 10 or IL o'clock
skirmishing going on directly opposite
the left of the enemy, which was in
| front of Cheatham's right and Shoup's
artillery. A considerable time had
elapsed when 1 discovered, with aston
ishment and bitter disappointment, a

dee's Divisions advancing directly
against the intrenched flank of the enc

had not only failed to turn McPherson's
left, according to positive orders, but
had thrown his men against the enc
my's breastworks, thereby occasioning
unnecessary loss to us. and rendering
doubtful the great result desired In
lieu of completely turning the Federal
left and taking the iptrenched line of
the enemy in reverse, he attacked the

The Losses.
In this grand sortie the Confederate
losses could not have been less thar,
10000, which was a very serious i'm
pairment TO the fighting power of the
army, approximating 10000 strong,
which Gen. Johnston had handed over
to Hood on July II, only five days be-
fore On front of one division of BIair's
Corps ], 900 dead were delivered to the
enemy under flag of truce; 422 were
buried in front of Dodge's Corps and
about 700 in front of Logan's Corps
Blair thought that his other divisions
had killed as many as his First, and
therefore there must have been 5000
Confederates killed. Two thousand
Confederate prisoners were, taken, of
whom half were wounded, and there
fore the total Confederate loss could
not have been less than 0,000
Gen. Logan reported a loss to the
Army of the Tennessee of 3,521- killed,
wounded and missing, with 10 pieces
of artillery lost. 1t captured from the
enemy 18 stands of coIors and 5000
stands of arms.
The loss of Gen. Mcpherson, the
commander of an army on our side
was hardly offset by the killing of Gen.
Walker. one Of Hoods best division
commanders.
Cen Sherman supports the state
ment that our losses were only 3,52I
killed, wounded and missing, or about
the same number as the enemys dead
alone
On July % the enemy sent a flag Of
truce, asking for permission to carry
off their dead, and Gen. Sherman au-
thorized Gen. Logan to accept it for
himself alone, so as not to interfere
with the movements of the other
armies.

The Troops Which Met the Charge OF
HOke's LOuisianians.

Editor National Tribune: II seems
that some of Carrolfs Brigade boys
doubt my assertion in regard to the po-
sition of the 33d Mass. at the battle of
Gettysburg; also my comment on Car
rolls Brigade. Now, don't want Gen.
Carroll or any of his brave boys to think
for moment that I would pluck one
gem from their fair record or any other
brave set of men that stood the orunt
of the battles and marches, counter
march thru rain, snow and ice, hunger
and cold and all without complaint.
But then we were young and able. and
now how is 1t? Old, gray and grizzly
looking. only waiting until the lights go
out and taps sounded. But after look
ing over the map of all the markers
which mark the position of every regi-
ment that was engaged at the battle OF
Gettysburg. don't see how A. III. HUBER
could say that 1 was in error and Com
rade Dickleman was right. OF course,
L am not infaTlible; neither do wish TO
be understood So
take no offense, and hope that none of
the comrades will take any offense at
what / herein write.
A H. Huber will please look at the
positions of the 18th Conn, 25th, 18th
and 107th Ohio. I have here before me

Instances of Errors.

OF course. everyone is liable to error,
from the General down. For instance,
at the battle of Charlottesville the
Second Brigade of the Second Division,
Eleventh Corps. A writer states that
BarIow's Brigade, which was the above.
was on the left of the Third Corps, and
that one of the regiments was out with
Gen. Barlow, naming the I'D Ohio. 1t
was the 33d Mass. that was with Gen.
Barlow. Another instance: In one of
the late issues of The National Tribune,
in the report of Gen. Geary, he says
that he got an order from Gen. Hooker
to relieve ButterfeId's Division about 3
or o'clock p. m. Therefore, Butter
fields Division was put on the reserve.
No doubt the order was issued, but
some one blundered, for one of Geary's
regiments came up on charge behind
US, and one of the boys yelled out. Let
US show those boys what the White
Stars can do" This caused our regi-
ment to lose more men than we would
have lost. 1 verify believe they were
sent to relieve us. As it was the White
had to hold our position until dark.
Here, as I said, some one made a mis-
take, and yet it is laid down that But
terfield's Division was relieved about
or o'clock p. m. and put on the re-
serve at the battle of Resaca May Is,
1864. 1 suppose A. II. Huber took ex-
ceptions to what / said in my article of
Jan. %, that Carrolrs Brigade didn't
fire a shot at the Tigers. Well, I might
have made a mistake, and if 1 did will
now correct it. The left of CarrolPs
Brigade did do some shooting, but the
right, which extended to the rear of
the 33d Mass, did not. As they were
in the rear, they could not fire without
firing on the 33d Mass. In fact, the
only the front line could fire. and that
was the 33d Mass. OF course, they
would all have done their duty had the
rebels come up in front, as was expect
ed for Gen. Gordon was in our front
down at the creek. He (Gordon) had
been on the left flank of the Tigers.
Formation of the Enemy.
One more word and am done. The
rebels formed in the. streets of Gettys-
burg, but they did not make the charge |
from where they were formed, but
moved to the left, where they faced
Won Gilsa's troops, their left striking
near Manchey's Spring. i. e., the Tigers
left Gordon stayed in the woods at the
creek and did not advance, for he saw
the hopelessness of the charge of the
Tigers. He knew that the position was
too strong and he. would be only sacri- |
dcing his men
am done with the argument. 1 will |
leave it to some one of the battery boys |
They can say whether the Tigers cap
tured their guns and whether Carrolrs |
Brigade recaptured them. As for me, |
say that the Tigers got as far as the |
guns, and the. battery boys. with the |
help of the infantry. beat the Tigers off |
or captured the most of them. Speak |
up, you battery boys, and defend your
guns.-John Dinneen, Co. G, 33d Mass,

CarroIrs Brigade Took a Hand.

I don't dispute that CarrolTs Brigade
took hand in driving back the Tigers
They were in the right place at the
right time. But what I do dispute is
that they did not drive the Tigers thru
the cemetery, as no rebels ever reached
that far. Common Se4ase tells me that
they would have to drive all the troops
on East Cemetery Hill before they could
reach the cemetery. Now, for argu-
mentS sake, suppose the Tigers did
break thru and captured the batteries
and. reached the cemetery. Would not
that throw the rebels in the rear of
the SD Ohio, 18th Pa, 61st Ohio and
the 74th Pa, then to the left of the 55th
and 73d Ohio and the 136th N. Y. be-
sides other troops too numerous to
mention? 1t Just proves that Comrade
Dickelman erred and also A. II. Huber
The fact of all is: Carrolps Brigade was
ordered to the right by request of Gen
Hancock. CarrolPs Brigade came from
Sickles's, which was three miles to the
left, marching on the Taneytown road
toward East Cemetery Hill. They
passed the 1S6th N. Y. and 55th Ohio,
also the 73d Ohio. Crossing the BaIti-
more road they charged up the Gene
terry Hill, where the Louisiana Tigers
were in hand-to-hand seuffle with the
battery boys and other troops The ar
rival of Carrolrs Brigade on the
ground at that moment was very fortu-
nate for our troops, for they (CarrolPs
Brigade) drove the Tigers down the
hill and over the stone wall, where they
sent several volleys after the Tigers.
which sent them back quicker than
they (the Tigers) had come. But this
was done quicker than writing it. Now.
IL the Tigers drove the battery bows
with Won Gilsa.s Brigade down the hill
up thru the cemetery, where Comrades

PRIVATE STAMPS.
Principal Cities Had Their Own Special
Issues Few Years Ago.

The private carrier stamps OF the Unit
ed States in use in the 4O's and early 5Os
are among the most interesting memor-
ials of progress from the quaint customs
of a century ago to the highly advanced
methods of today's civilization. Every
section OF the country got its private
mail carriers just as every section OF
the country today has its moving picture
arcade and its diabolo agency.
One of the private concerns that did
an extensive business and that issued
one of the neatest stamps was the
American Letter Mail company. Its pos
tai service embraced the states of Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York and Pennsylvania, with con-
nections in the principal cities of each
state.
w. Wyman of New York was one of
the big competitors of the American COM
pany for New York to Boston mail. His
stamp bore a picture of a locomotive OF
those days drawing what was presum,
ably a mail coach.
Overton & Co.'s Letter express was
also in competition for the same bust
ness, but was rather more ambitious than
Wyman, for they extended their services
az far south us Philadelphia, and had
well organized connections at that city
for distributing the mail over a wide
territory in Pennsylvania and adjacent
states.
Still another rival of these mailmen
was in the field in the person of the
Hartford mail, famous old private mail
carrier that operated between the cities
of Hartford, Boston and New York.
There were several smaller enterprises
covering portions of the same ground,
and the fact that they all thrived shows
that even at that time the advantages
of reliable mail communicating methods
were appreciated.
Boston had City Dispatch in New
York, as did Boyd, the latter's head
quarters being at No. 1 Park place, and
