The Sd Iowa Cav. in the Thick of the
Action-The Windup of the War.
Editor National Tribune: The Sd
iowa Cav arrived at Louisville. KY.
after the Price raid in Missouri (where
4sS men and IS officers of regiments
operated) and the Grierson raid on the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad with which
We're 500 men and officers). They went
into camp near Louisville at the falls
of Ohio River. where they lay few
days awaiting the clearance of the river
from floating ice. Their destination
was Gravelly Springs, Ala.
At Gravelly Springs shanties were
erected, and they spent nearly two
months doing camp and picket duty and
occasionally scouting. Towards the last
of March Gen. Wilson had a grand re-
view of all the troops fitted out as for
the march. On March %, 1865, a gen.
eral forward movement in light equip
ment was ordered The command cut
loose from its base, and started on what
was afterwards known is the Wilson
raid thru Alabama and Georgia.
After strenuous and eXhausting
march on account of bad roads and
swollen streams they arrived at EIyton,
Ala, March 80. At Montevallo five ex-
tsnsive iron works were destroyed, be-
sides other valuable property. There
the enemy's cavalry, found in force, was

Editor National Tribune: At 9 D. M,
June Is, 1865, the Fourth Corps camped
| near Nashville, Tenn, and received or
ders to march at 5 a. m. the following
morning. MY diary says: "Reveille at

Stuart's Death.

Editor National Tribune; In the ,80s
I read of the Confederate General, J.
e. B. Stuart, having Captured a Union
Major. and, charging him with being
a deserter, ordered him to be hung.
This Major had brother in the Con-
federate army, who told Stuart that his
brother was not a deserter. but regu-
larly enlisted soldier. ins the Union
army, and il hung he would yavenge his
brothers death by shooting him
(Stuart). The paper states that the
brother did kill Stuart for hanging his
brother in the ne Hts battle. altho before
this battle he had ibeen arrested In
Jefferson Davis's account Of Stuart's
death he said simply Stuart was shot
by fugitive" j. Estens Cooke. in his
narrative of the Wearing Jof the Gray,
published June, 1862 states. that the
d;serter captured Mas a sbays1s years
of age, who was attach cd to the Union
artillery. At first he ordered him hung.
relented and sent him to Gen. Lee, yet
Cooke passes over Gen. Stuart's death.
Now. l am acquainted with a MEM
Der of the Confederate army, who en-
phatically states that this Confederate
soldier, after making the threat to his
General, made his escape twice. The
last time when they fired ON him he
was too near the Union lines for them
to hit him. The next day came the
battle and Stuart's death by the ayeng-
er. This Confederate also states that
Gen. Grant marched thru the Wilder
ness fighting to Cedar Point, April l..
1864, making statement that one year
from that date he would move the
army, which really did occur April /.
1865. He said on April 2. 1865, Rich
mond fell; April 3, 1856, Petersburg
fell, and he contends that on April 5,
and not April 9. 1865. Lee surrendered
to Gen. Grant at Clover Hill. He de-
clares he saw them with his own eyes.
He is aware of what history states.
Sometimes things are suppressed. This
man was a dispatch bearer in the Com
federate army, and he ought naturally

Proud Of the Reserves.

John FleegIe, Riot, Pa, is very much
interested in the Wilderness Campaign
now running in The National Tribune.
He served in the old First Corps until
the Spring of 1863, and considers 1t an
honor to have belonged to the Penn
sylvania Reserves. He served in the
Third Division, Fifth Corps, afterward
He thinks if the Pennsylvania Reserve
Corps had been in the first line of bat
tie at Fredericksburg that that battle
would not have been lost, and is sure
that il it had not have been for the
Third Division of the Fifth Corps at
Gettysburg that that battle would not
have gone as it did. for he says the
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps saved Lit
tie Round Top. and on the night of July
2 his regiment, the 5th Pa. r. c., and
the 18th Pa. r. c., took Big Round
Top, and if that was not a valuable
point he could not see any. He thinks
that the old Pennsylvania Reserve
Corps opened and closed as many bat
ties as any other division that belonged
to the Army of the Potomac.

First Firing at Shiloh.

Joseph RUIZ, Lieutenant, 18th Mich,
Albion, Mich, has taken The National
Tribune for some time, but has never
seen anything from any comrade of his
regiment. He was a charter member
Of the regiment, re-enlisted after two
years service, and was discharged with
the regiment March 6, 1866, bearing a
First Lieutenant's commission. The
18th Mich. started for the field from
Niles, Mich, March 10, 1862. and ar
rived at Pittsburg Landing March 26,
Just 10 days before the battle. Com
rade Ruff says that his regiment and
the 25th Mo. were the first to open fire
in that battle. They started to recon-
noiter about o'clock in the morning,
encountered the enemy just at day
break and engaged them for about two
hours. Comrade Ruff says the majori-
ty of his regiment have answered the
last roll call, and there are seldom
more than 25 at a Reunion, tho nearly
$500 enlisted during the service of the
regiment.
