Va. Nov. 9, 1864, to form the 1st w.
Va. veteran regiment. 1t was command
ed by Col. Leonard Skinner, who was
discharged Sept 10, 1862, succeeded by
Col. Isaac H. Duval, promoted to Brig

of his regiment. and continued In COM

of Cedar Creek. sharing its triumphs
and reverses with credit TO the regiment
and honor to himself: and asIieut.-Cot
Starr was not in command at the date
of its consolidation with the veterans
of the 5th (Which event took place
shortly after the battle of Cedar Creek),
nor was he ever in command of the
regiment after he was detailed for staff
duty, being mustered out while absent
from the regiment, 1 may add that no
officer ever connected with the 9Th w.
Va. bore himself more gallantly than
Maj. Skinner. officers and men loved
him, and it seems to me that this cor

following reply to those resolutions

First. There is nothing in the resolu-

member of the 61st n. Y. will not
heartily subscribe: that is, the superb
heroism of Dauchy's Battery; the great
gallantry and dauntless spirit of Com

AT Spanish Fort.

John H. Lagle, Co d, 10Th Iowa, has
been reading The National Tribune for
years. and is amused at the stories Of
the capture of Spanish Fort, and would
like to give his version of it. He served
in the Thirteenth Corps as Corporal in
Co. u, 18TH Iowa. Gen. Granger COM
manded the division. The Gath ILL.,,
2Oth Wis. and 26th Ind. were In the
brigade. They were ordered to the bay
at Fort Morgan, and marched thru to
Spanish Fort. The skirmishers of the
18th Iowa drove the rebel lines of pick
cts and skirmishers back until about 8
p. m. Comrade Lagle was shot in the
leg, and was taken to the Division Hos
pltai and afterward to the U. s. Bar
racks Hospital, New Orleans, La, and
was discharged in June, 1865 He says
there was no use nor room for all those
different corps. The Thirteenth Corps
did it.

"countercharge" which swept the enc
