PROSECUTIONS DAY.
It Was Disastrous for the Defense in
 the Cooper Trial.

Nashville, March 5.-This was the states day in the trial of Colonel D. B. Cooper and IsoD.p Cooper and John D. Sharpe. charged with murdering former Senator Carmack. Not only did it break down the testimony Of s. J. Binning, the defense's mysterious red bearded man, who claimed to have seen the shooting, but caused Bin nings' arrest on the charge of perjury. The state also tried to impeach the testimony of the governor and others who declared that the Coopers were invited to the governors mansion and, while on their way there, they met Carmack and the street duel followed. The bombardment of the defense's case began when the witnesses testi- fled that Binnings, the night of the tragedy. said to them: If I had been five or ten minut4s earlier, would have seen the killing."

 Present indications point to a good year for the stockmen, as ow- ing to the abundant rains this season the grass is covering up the whole country with coat of green, and the nice warm weather of the last few days has added strength and length to it and the cattle have all ready begun to pick up in flesh and streak of fat is beginning to show on the meat in the local butcher shop.

Was He a Spy?

Editor National Tribune - In your is
sue of Oct. is an article from II. T..
Valentine, 23d Mass, telling of his lost
Testament and his theory as to how it
got to Roanoke Island ahead of him.
Before going aboard the vessels at An
napolis our regiment stacked arms for
few hours in the Navy Yard. There
was man there selling articles which
the soldiers bought, packages of sta
tionery, little buckskin portemonnaies
into which we intended to put the gold
that Uncle Sam would pay us. but none
of which we ever saw after our Annapo-
lis payment. The third one do not re-
member but it might have been play
ing cards. but probably not. as soldiers
had so little use for those things After
the battle Of Roanoke Island. as we
marched thru the enemy's works, one
of them lay there dead, which some of
the men of our company declared posi-
lively they knew to be the man who
was selling those articles in the Navy
Yard. If they We're correct he may
have been spy. and the one that car

Death of Lieut.. GreebIe.

Editor National Tribune: I1notice in
one of your past issues a description of
the battle of Big Bethel Va, lin 1861.
l was member of Battery T., I'D u. s.
Art, and a student in the Military
School at Fortress Monroe, and l was
the gunner that was sent with Lieut.
Greeble when Gen. Pierce called for
artillery. There was lnot O man left
his gun thru the whole fight, altho
there was not q command anywhere
that maintained its organization, and
as for Gen. Pierce, did not sec him at
all First Lieut.. Greeble was a splendid
officer. and formerly q professor at
West Point, and all the men under him
were old Indian fighters and men of
excellent record. Lieut.. Greeble, like
many others, wanted to do more than
his share of the fighting, and would not
allow the command to fire to be given
until he had sighted tho gun, and at
our last shot he said, DO not fire that
gun until have had a look at it," and
as he was taking look at II the rebels
got line on him and shot part Of his
head off. This was the last shot on
our side. We gathered up our beloved
officer. and placed him on the ammuni-
ton chest and conveyed him to his
weeping wife at the fort. This is the
exact truth.-Alex w. Chambers, Gun

The Colored Regiment in Vermont.

Editor National Tribune: What is
printed in your issue of Sept. P8, 1909.
in regard to the 10th u. s. Cav. being
stationed at or near Burlington, Vt,
is not very satisfactory as neither you,
the Burlington newspaper nor Gen.
Peck expresses any opinion on the point
at issue. The question raised 1by some
is as to the advlsability of black troops
being stationed in q white community.
Gen. Peck at some pains gives us, for
what purpose 1 do not understand, the
names and rank of all the officers of
the regiment stationed there, the Bur-
lington newspaper acknowledges the
courtesy of the officers of the
regiment and you praise the bear
ing and discipline of the troops,
but neither of you expresses any opin-
ion or sentiment on the question at is
sue. This was doubtless an oversight,
on your part at least, for no one sup
poses the Government to be infallible,
and the independence of The National
Tribune is SO proverbial / am sure it
would not hesitate to print any opinion
1t might hold on the subject.
1t appears to be the custom of the
War Department to give troops stations
alternately in the North and South, East
and West, at home and abroad, but
should there be no exception? Is the
color-blind policy of the War Depart
ment best, and is il, in fact, a square
deal for all? When two regiments i'll

the black men to go North or to the
health and comfort of the white men to
go South

the boys passes to go out into the coun-

to say few words for the benefit of
Comrade ]. T. Enders, of the 9th Pa.
Cav. He has no reason to kick about
Columbia. S. G. The morning we
crossed the Broad River, think it was
Feb. IA, little after sunrise, while
placing the pontoons across the river.
there were three regiments OF cavalry
from the Second Brigade sent three or
four miles below Columbia to cross the
river. There was ferry there and a
few rebels guarding, it. They had a
skirmish with the rebels before getting
across, and L think the 9th Pa. Cav.
was one Of those regiments sent down,
and that was why they did not
go into Columbia. They met us
the next day a few miles from
there; but, just the same, the 9th
Mich. Cav. was in Columbia and saw it
burn. We saw the Stars and Stripes
hoisted on the Court House by Iowa
men. Just before crossing the river a
train backed up alongside the stockade
and took our prisoners out, L remem-

ance they soon had it completed. The
block house was "a feet by "a feet, and
was built of spruce logs, one tie being
laid horizontal and backed up by other
logs set perpendicular. The top was
also covered with logs, and on top of
This was placed sod and dirt to the
depth of three feet. Flaring port holes
four By four inches were cut in the logs
on All four sides, and firing platform
vas built inside, which was also used
to sleep on.
The door to the block house was cut
on an angle, so the enemy could not
get d direct fire in case ii had to be
opened. Surrounding the block house
was a deep ditch. Inside was kept our
