Of yearlings caused a weakness in that
part of the market. However, taken
as whole, the market for the week
has been in fine shape and sellers are
hoping not only TO hold the advance,
but to get more of it. If the demand
keeps up, prospects are certainly IA
vorable. Shippers bought rather free

Capture of Bald Hill.

]. H. Bradford, 30th ILL.,, Washington.
Ark, makes a correction of the account
of the capture of Bald Hill. He says
that the 45th Ill. belonged to Forces
Brigade, which was at Marietta at that
time. where it remained until the bri-
gade started for the sea. The brigade
reached a position about dark on the
evening of July 20 on timbered ridge
within 500 yards of the line of works
on Bald Hill, and camped in line of bat
tie. About a. m. they were called up
and ordered to throw up a line of works,
which was completed by daylight. The
brigade was formed for the charge
about $50. The cleared field was just
400 yards wide, but a muddy ravine ran
from the northeast corner to about the
center at the south side The brigade
went out of the timber on a run, and
quickly reached the Confederate line of
works, but lost $50 men in the few min
utes required. 1t was a grand charge,
and one singular thing about 1t was that
While the field officers were nearly all
mounted, it does not seem that one was
killed or wounded. The Adjutant in the
3Oth ILL.,, d. w. Peak, rode hts gray
horse near to the works, when the horse
was shot and became unmanageable.
The Lieutenant dismounted, and turned
his horse loose. Gen. Force was not
wounded in the charge, but on the 22d,
e'ieSi 'HVi. 4hCT feISoil was killeu IHe

The brigade hastily built a small fort
about 80 feet wide, with three embras-
ures on the north side and one at the
west side. McAllister' g four-gur battery
CD, I'd III. l.. A., of 24-pound howitz-
ers, was brought up and put in the
works. and soon made il too hot for the
Confederates to the north This was

REAMs STATION.
The Records Drawn to Show Where
Credit Belongs.

Editor National Tribune: In your
issue of JAN. 81, on page Z. under the
heading "Reams Station; the Troops
Which Retook the Guns and the
Works." Maj. James e. Larkin, OF the
5th N. H, disputes the correctness of
statement made by The National Trib-
une in answer TO ascorresponden. in its
issue of Dec. 81. page 8, under heading.
"The Fight at Reams Station"
quote the disputed portion: Some
of the new troops did not behave cred
itabIy. Two of our batteries were cap
tured, but Gen. Miles rallied the 61st
N z, and. striking the enemy In the
flank. retook one OF the batteries and
a portion of the works"
Mai. Larkin states that two years
ago, for the first time" he read like
statement in the History of the Second
Corps, by Gen. Walker.
The Major states that Gen. Walker
could not have been an eyewitness, as
he (Walker) was prisoner in the
hands of the enemy at the time"
For the information of whom it may
concern / quote from the official report
of Gen. w. S. Hancock. commanding
the Second Corps at the battle Of
Aug. 27, 1864:
"a part of the line gave way in con-
fusion. Meningitis Battery, under
Lieut.. Dauchy, 18th n. Y. Art. (Bat-
tery), was then turned on the opening,
doing great execution, but the enemy
advanced along the rifle pits, taking
possession of the battery and turning
one gun upon our own troops"
Affairs at this juncture were in a
critical condition, and but for the brav-
cry and obstinacy of a part of the First
Division and the fine conduct of their
commander (Gen. Miles) would have
ended still more disastrously. Gen.
Miles succeeded in rallying small
force of the 61st n. Y, and, forming a
| line at right angles with the breast
works, swept off the enemy, recapturing
Meningitis guns, and retook a consid-
cradle portion of his line"
| I quote from the same report:
Lieut. Col. f. A. Walker, Assistant
AdJutant-G General, was sent to the front
with an order just before the troops
were withdrawn, and owing to the
darkness rode into the enemy's lines
and was captured"
! Hancock's can be found on page 2S1
of book, entitled 1.-THE Virginia Cam
/ paign of 1864 and 1866" by Gen. A. A
Humphreys. Chief of Staff of the Army
of the Potomac, published by Chas
Scribner's Sons. New York, 1888.
Both reports sustain The National
Tribune article of Dec. 81, and also sus-
tains Gen. Walker, who evidently YVES
an eyewitness to what was happening
at Reams Station up to the moment
when, in the darkness of night, he fell
into the hands OF the enemy.

Saw the Crater Fight.

Comrade ". E. Armstrong, Co. /,
18th n. Y, writes from Glencoe
Mimi: II notice in your issue of Jan.
8, 1903. Comrade William Gott does
not agree with Maj. Williams in his
account of the colored troops at the
Crater. / do not remember what the
Major stated, but 1 do remember What
to support the charge. We were close
close enough to have accomplished
something had we been required to do
anything; so close that rebel bullet
went thru the crown of my cap and
thru the head of the man in the rear
rank, who stood at my back The ne
gros made a noble dash for the rebel
works, tho they were moved down like
grass, so that the dead and wounded
lay upon their path numerously, and
they took the works and held them,
too, for a short time; but the rebels
were quickly reinforced, charged .he
negros and captured them. Yet at the
same time We had plenty of troops
there In reserve to have prevented that
result, but mono moved to do it, The
attack was an ugly and complete fall
ure-worse. defeat for US, a decided
victory for the rebels. Comrade Gott
says he was there all day, and knows
what he is talking about, but he leaves
me In doubt as to that, since the affair
did not last even half a day. The ex-
plosion was effected about sunrise, and
in a very short time-I do not think
over two hours-it was quite ended
From his statement one would infer
that the colored troops did not fire at
all. They certainly did shoot If they
merely went in with guns at right
shoulder shift. how could they have
driven such q determined enemy?"

SHERIDAN AT CEDAR CREEK.
He Arrived About 1880 or 8 O'Clock.


Editor National Tribune: notice an
inquiry by A. A. Tyler regarding the
time Of the day Gen. Sheridan arrived
on the battlefield at Cedar Creek, Va,
Oct. 19, 1864. Under the circumstances
of which that battle occurred l am sur
prised that anyone should forget the
time OF the day in which 1t happened.
Tyler says that Gen. Merritt says that,
guessing at it, the time was about
arrived at o'clock. If Gen. Merritt
meant that o'clock was the time that
the enemy broke and he went in" that
would come near the time of that event;
but think the enemy broke and ran
an hour or two before that; but Com
rade Tyler is away off when he says
that "he thinks Gen. Sheridan arrived
about o'clock. Now, anyone can judge
for. themselves about the time he would
arrive when they know the fact that
Gen. Early made the attack on the
Eighth and Nineteenth Corps before
daylight Sheridan had returned from
Washington on the evening of the 18th,
and remained over night at Winchester.
Hearing the cannonading about day.
light, he mounted his little black steed.
and galloped to the front, about IL
miles away. think that he arrived at
the front about or 1880 a. m. was
standing near the pike as he rode up,
and as there were a good many Strag-
glers from the Eighth and Nineteenth
Corps going in the wrong direction. he
persuaded them to about-face and re-
turn to the front, using this language,
as near. as I can remember: Men, go
back; go back. We will lick them out
Of their boots. We will camp in our old
camp ground tonight" The Sixth
Corps, being camped about quarter
of a mile in rear of the front, stood in
line of battle as firm as a stone wall.
Sheridan's presence in the front soon
restored order, and after forming the
Eighth and Nineteenth Corps in line,
with cavalry on the right and left,
charge was made. After some hard
fighting the rebel lines were broken
and most complete victory won by
Sheridan's army. I never knew the cav
airy to do better work than they did at
Cedar Creek. When Early's army broke
and ran there was no stop until they
reached Fishers Hill, leaving nearly
all their artillery Except three pieces),
wagons ambulances, ETC., in our hands,
including Is pieces Of artillery cap
tured from the Eighth Corps in the
morning. I counted 83 pieces of cap
tured artillery parked around Sheri-
dams headquarters, thus leaving Early
without the necessary equipments to
carry on war in the Shenandoah Valley.
Now. Mr.. Editor, 1t was only my in
tention to try to establish the time in
the day of the arrival of our most gal
liant and estimable Gen. Sheridan to the
front at Cedar Creek.-Wm. Cloves,

The Last Squad Out of Andersonville.

George A. Hovey, 18th Iowa, 1876 18th
street, Pacific, Cal, writes that he
thinks he can answer the questions In
an article by Fred w. Sphinx, addressed
VIM. H. Epson, regarding the last squad
Of prisoners from Andersonville. He
says that on the morning of April Is the
rebel Orderly who came in to count the
prisoners told them to select Sergeant
to take charge Of the entire camp on
the march to their lines, as they were
to leave the prison that day. Comrade
Hovey was elected as Sergeant, and as
sumed command of the last of the prls-
oners, 800 in number. They embarked
on the train that afternoon and went to
Albany, the end of the railroad, where
they had to march across the country
to Thomasville. There they took the
train and went to Baldwin Junction, 10
miles from Jacksonville, Fla, reaching
there about a. m, April 2S. The reb-
els issued three days rationS to them,
which was the nicest-looking food that
they had ever drawn, but 1t made every
one sick who ate of it. Comrade Hovey
called them into line, and told them to
go just as far as they could, then rest
and move on. He told them that he
would be at our picket lines at sun
down and send rations back, but that
he wanted all who could to keep up
with him. He arrived at the outer

of the 3,100 only three got thru the first
day. The two beside Comrade Hovey
were VIM. Sweezey, of Co C, 18th Iowa,
and man from the 10th Mo-, whose
name he cannot recall. He says that
as to their advance meeting negro pick
cts, 1t is mistake. They reached Jack
Sonville, and went to the Provost-Mar-
shal's office and reported. The Provost
called two Orderlies, and sent one to
the corral, and ordered every mule and
horse that could carry a harness to re-
port at his headquarters, and the other
to make requisition for 3,100 loaves
of bread, and put man into each bread

rived at Baldwin Junction. When they

A WONDERFUL OLD SOLDIER.
a Member of the Famous Graybeard
Regiment OF Iowa.

Editor National Tribune: I should
like to have you publish in The Ma
tienaf Tribune the following sketch of
my father, who was a member Of the
Sfth Iowa, and, think, about the old
est man in the service. In many re-
spects he was quite wonderfuL-Dan-
lei King
The 37th Iowa, doing duty at st.
Louis. in 1862, was a regiment of ex-
empts. Few IL any of its members
were under 45 years of age and many
OF them were over so. Take them al
together" says a correspondent, they
are a band Of hardy veterans whom the
emergencies of the situation have fred
with jealous patriotism well worthy
Of imitation by younger men"
Perhaps the most remarkable mem
Der OF this regiment was a private OF
CO. II, named Curtis King, whose his
tory Is quite curious. He was over 81
years of age, six feet two inches in
hight, of brawny and stalwart frame,
barring his breast to the winds Of VIM
ter without endangering his health,
and he moved around In the perform
ance of his duties with the celebrity of
a youth of Is. Owing to his great age
and the fact OF being blind in one eye,
he experienced difficulty, when the reg
tfnent was forming. in obtaining per-
mission to enlist, two or three compa-
nies refusing TO take him; but he was
at last successful, and proved himself
one of the most efficient men in the
regiment He was, and had been from
ais youth, a Democrat of the old Jack
son school, and was wont to indulge in
pretty strong language against the
Abolitionists. He was born in CuIpeper
County, Va, and claimed to be a lineaI
descendant of Pocahontas, and this
statement would seem to be verified by
his physiogpomy, which showed the
characteristics of the Indian. He had
been twice married, once when only
19. and was the father of 81 children.
He claimed to be able to repeat every
word of the Bible from Genesis to
Revelations, tho he could neither read
nor write, the Good Book having been
read to him by daughter. In 1915 he
emigrated to Ohio with the first set
tiers, resided there some 25 years. and
then removed to Hendricks County.
Ind, and from there to Wapello Coun-
ty, Iowa, in 1916, where he enlisted
Not one-of his family was disloyal at
tine time of the civil war. Eleven of
his grandchildren responded to the first
struggle, given in somewhat homely
language, are not TO be ignored. When
asked his ideas as to the result of the
war he replied: "Well, think the long
est pole will knock the persimmon. II
may tak5 a long time. but the North
has tne most men ana the most money,
and it's bound to come out first in the
end; and IL the young men will do as
4 intend to do the rebellion will be put
down, for am in for the war as long
as I last"
His criticisms on the men who -four
fshed during the latter part of the last
century were wonderfully good and ac-
curate, remembering, as he did, Wash
ington, Jefferson, Randolph. the
Adamses and others He had often
seen Washington. and remarked as a
characteristic Of the Father of His
Country that he never saw him smile:
that he seemed to have little sympathy
n the enjoyment of other men. About
