]. E. Murdoch, in The National Trib-
une for July 90, gives West Cemetery
Hill for Carrolls Brigade at the time of
receiving Hancock's order. With that
given by Dickelman and Maj. Houghton
one might infer that three positions
were held by it at the same time. l will
pass Dickelman's historian, Keplar,
without comment, he being too vision
ary and eXtravagant
Maybe some member of the brigade
will write that they were in the Gene
terry, peeking thru the gate, waiting for
the Tigers to charge.
Why don't Carroll's Brigade set up a
claim for having defeated Picketts
charge? They were in that vicinity.
The plot to cheat the Dutch" of their
just honors was hatched at Manchey's
Spring, after o'clock that night, and
by vigorous nursing by morning became
full-fiedged, and it has been kept in
flight ever since. These German regi-
ments, not understanding the game"
being played on them, have rested con-
tent with sense of duty well and hero
icaily done, and it "mochs nix ous'' to
them what the claims of CarrolFs Bri-
Sade may be.
In the excitement and hurry of this
conflict the State and number of these
regiments was not thought of, and the
identity of Carroll's Brigade was dis
covered to officers and men, both artil-
lery and infantry, at Manchey's Spring
after the fight was over.

Editor National Tribune: I have been
continuous reader of The National
Tribune about 81 years, except for a
year or two in its early life. 1 think it
thei greatest soldiers paper in all Its
departments published in this country.
1t has been the incentive for close read
ing, of all the histories of the late un-
pleasantness that were accessible to me.
john McElroy's histories of the several
army corps and the campaigns of the
armies were a revelation and delight.
l and very many others of the Elev-
enth Corps, a goodly number of the
First~Corps and an earnest, intelligent
number of CarrolFs Brigade and its
friends have been much interested and
entertained by the articles published in
The National Tribune from time to time
since Dec. Is, 1908, relating to the at
tack of Hays Tigers and Hoke's

Parker's Crossroads.

Editor National Tribune: I read in
your issue of Jan. 3, 1908, in Picket
Shots" a paragraph about Fox's 800
fighting regiments, in which j. C. Rails
ton. Co. G., 43d Ohio, says that If Broth
Ter McElroy keeps on telling the truth
about the different campaigns some of
the old soldiers win be thankful they
were not classed VII 1 the fighting regi-
ments." He also states that he was in
Fuller's Ohio Brigade and says: when
Forrest attacked Dunhams Brigade
they were six miles from them when
the first gun was fired, and &c minutes
after we had Forests cannon and his
men on the run" / would like to say
a word in regard to the Parker's Cross
roads fight, which took place on Dec.
81, 1862. / was In that fight. Dec. 80,
1862, Dunham's Brigade, 50th Ind. and
122d ILL.,, the last commanded by Col.
Rinaker, and the 39th Iowa, command
ed by Col. Cummings, went into camp
at Clarksburg, Tenn, about four miles
north of Parker's Crossroads. Dec. 81
this brigade was ordered by Gen. Sulli =
van to march at G o'clock a. m. for
Parker's Crossroads to intercept at that
point Forrest, who had camped about
one and one-half miles west OF us on
the night of Dec. 80. At the cross
roads we met Forrest, and the skir-
mishing commenced. We then moved
mile east, then zoo yards north, and
then the fight began in earnest This
was about 10 o'clock In the morning,
and the fight lasted on this, line until
about l o'clock p. m, About this time
Col. Rinaker was shot thru his leg be-
low the knee; and while Lieut.-Col
Drish was binding Col Rinaker's leg
with rope shot from the rear struck
Col. Drish's cap and caused him to look
up. He saw the rebels coming up In
the rear, and he asked coz Rinaker
what he must do. Col IRfnaker told
him to about-face the regiment and
charge bayonets. This order was given
while Col Rinaker was lying on the
ground, wounded. and CeIi Dpish obeyed
the order, leading the charge and cap
turing 300 prisoners and four pieces of
artillery. At this time Col. Drish
passed thru the lines. and. called to his
command to intercept ythe sTcharge, as
the rebel cavalry was forming on our
left. When they got within so or rs
yards we gave them four voIieys, and
they retreated down the Tennessee Riv-
er. am sure that 1t was this order
given by Col. Rinaker that won the
fight at Parker's Crossroads. At this
time Capt. l.. p. PEBBLES OF Co. d. 122d
ILL.,, who was on my left, faced south
and stepped across me and said: Lieu
tenant, we have got them. They are
retreatlnS towards Tennessee River,
but they came near getting me. Look
at my cap" l looked. and saw that a
piece of a shell or bullet had cut the
back part of his cap off. Capt PEBBLES
at this time had not fully recovered
from the shock. l myself was in this
fight from start to finish, and I know
that Fuller's Ohio Brigade came up
after the fight was over. If they fired
a single shot on that occasion, I did
not hear it.-A. C. Hulse. Captain, Co.

Editor National Tribune: 1 noticed in
your paper of Sept. communication
from George w. Bowdre, of Payson,
Okla, in regard to Gen. Il. S. Johnston,
who was killed at Shiloh. / was under
fire in that battle from daylight until
after dark. i moved the wounded of
my command off about where the battle
began in the morning, and bivouacked
for the night, when we went to Corinth,
and i saw Gen. Johnston's body taken
into private house. 1t was sent to
New Orleans for burial. If he had had
a blue uniform on he would have been
shot by our men, for we were shooting
at everything blue that day but the
blue sky. Johnston was not leading a
charge, but was sheltered in a ravine,
and was shot by stray ball or a sharp
shooter. A handkerchief tied above his
knee would have saved his life. The
artery was severed, however which
would have necessitated amputation-

Soldierly Criticism.

w A. Moore, 1457 Dean street,
Brooklyn. n. Y. reads The National
Tribune with intense interest, and is
especially fond of the recital of COM
.rades' experiences, especially when their
controvers es are conducted in mod
est, soldierly spirit. He takes eXcep-
tions, however, to c. +. Webster's letter,
in which he went quite out of his way
to slur the behavior of the Sixth Corps
on that eventful day at Cedar Creek.
CUmrade Webster belonged to the self
styled "Bloody 18th" Comrade Moore
IFS tired of these attempts to indulge n
-gloTilication. Bloody and fight
ing'' divisions do not always bear out
their claims. Twelve regiments of Penn
syIvania cavalry sustained more losses
than the Bloody 18TH" and make no
fuss about it No wonder the present
generation discounts the achievements

Wading Rivers.

Referring to statements by comrades
as to wading rivers, Comrade Cline. 23d
Mo-, Port orchard, Wash, says he can
60 all of them a little better. On the
last day of February, 1865. his brigade
left Savannah, Ga, for Sisters Ferry,
about 80 miles up the river. pontoon
bridge was laid, and they crossed over
the river and began to build corduroy
roads. One day in March they came
to creek about two miles wide. Mai.
Jolly and Orderlies went over and back
on horses and ordered them to fall in
a tall man by the side of a short man.
Comrade Cline fell in beside a big Ser
geant by the name of Ransome Shores,
and when they got to the middle of the
stream he had to lean back little to
keep his nose out of the water. His
feet were swept from under him, hut
the big Sergeant was on the lookout
and grabbed him and he was all right
When they got across they took tur-
key trot for about two m les, and went
into camp to dry themselves. There
was a fence there, ana they took the
top rails to make fire.
