Sabine Crossroads.

Editor National Tribune: VIII you
be kind enough to let me give the COM
rade of the S7th Ill. little informa-
ton about what part of Gen. A. l.. Lees
cavalry did at Sabine Crossroads? Our
regiment, the I'd Ill. Cav, supported
Nims's Battery against the charge of the
rebels. The battery poured shell and
canister into the enemy's ranks as soon
as they came near and moved them
down like grass, yet they would close
up their ranks and rush down upon
our boys until the I'd Ill. Cav lost half
their horses ard several men killed and
wounded and most of Nims's horses
were shot down., and the men had to
spike their guns and cut the harness
off the remaining horses to get away
from the enemy. l had a dear old
messmats there who had to undergo
two amputations which cost him untold
suffering and shortened his days. After
this the I'd Ill. Cav. had to fight every
foot of ground down the river. A de-
tail of men would be sent ahead to
make coffee and fill the canteens, as
the army was pushed so hard that they
had to eat their hardtack and drink
their coffee mounted and while fight

An EX-COnfederate Wants Information
as to the 9th Iowa.
Editor National Tribune: The writer
was a Confederate soldier, and took
part in the siege of Vicksburg, during
which, ] believe, the 9Th Iowa fronted
my command. I was member of Bat

Division and Gen. F. A. Shoup's Bri-.
gade. We We're located on the Grave
yard road, one and one-half miles east
of the celebrated Fort Hill, on the
north side of the city. On May %,
when Gen. Grant ordered a charge
along those lines, a few daring Yankees
came up the slope right to our guns,
where a hand-to-hand fight took place,
one of the fiercest, sharpest contests of
the war. That was the only place
where the Federals actually reached
the Confederate lines. In other places
the steep bluffs gave cover to the boys
in blue, who were forced by the rebel
fire to take shelter until night, when
they retreated TO their own lines. This
was the experience of the 59th Ind, as
| am informed by one of its members
who was in that charge. But at our
point, where the soldiers had reached
the battery, a detachment from Lou
isiana regiment of infantry was sent to
drive back the enemy.
In May, 1906, with my son, then 1S
years of age, L visited the old battle
fields about Vicksburg, and it was after
had located my old position on the
line that l saw a tablet at the top of
that slope, marked 9th Iowa regi-
ment," which gave me clue to the
identity of the Federal soldiers who
had met US at that very point now At
years ago.
Now. Mr.. Editor, since that visit I
have watched in every date of your
paper (Which comes to the Democrat
Journal office) for some record from
the 9th Iowa, and only once, two years
ago, perhaps, I saw a little sketch from
a Union soldier, signed with his name
and 9Th Iowa. 1 wrote him lin CaIifor-
nia), but he replied that he was not in
that charge, so We could not exchange
written experiences.
Can you post me as to the name and
location of one of those surviving 9th
Iowa boys who met US on that memora-
BILE field?

The Conquered Banner.

(After Father Ryan. By an old vet
eran.D
These lines were published by the
author in a Dennisville (KN.o paper in
1890 They seem most appropriate just
now. since the conquered banner is be-
ing displayed more than ever.
Furl the banner stained with treason,
Steeped in blood without a reason,
Furl it. fold it, it is best.
Let no hand exultant wave it:
AL the prestige heroes gave it
Cannot from dishonor save 1t.
Furl it, hide it, let it rest.
Take the banner down. 1t is spattered
With the blood of freemen shattered
While the host of treason battered
At the fortress of the North.
May the spirit that unrolled 1t
Be compelled for aye to fold it,
Ne'er let discord bring it forth.
Furl the banner. furl it sadly;
Precious lives were given gladly,
And ten thousand rudely, madly,
Swore to keep the flames alive:
Swore by every sacred token
That the Union should be broken,
Died-with shame the words be spok-
Died that slavery might survive.
Furl it, for the hands that grasped it,
And the warm hearts that clasped it
Swore again that it ne'er should
wave,
Conquered by a power above them,
And their color made us love them;
Laid it in i bloody grave.
What tho many may deplore it,
What tho treason may adore il,
Why disgrace the men who bore 1t,
Flaunting what they could not save?
Furl the banner; It is CORY,
And as time with age grows hoary
Folks will wonder at the story
How men died for such a cause;
Taught that men were only chattel,
Bought and sold like driven cattle
Strange that freemen e'er should battle
For such unjust, inhurnan laws.
Furl the banner softly, slowly.
Tho the cause was so unholy,
Falor made it seem divine.
Touch it not, unfurl it never,
Let it drop there furled forever,
To the very end of time.
