The StonewaH.

Editor National Tribune: I wish to
correct an article in The National Trib-
une of Dec. 8 regarding the Stonewall.
The L. S. S. +. Niagara was sent to
Europe in April, 1864, not particularly
after the Stonewall, but as the, flagship
of the European Station, with head
quarters at Antwerp, Belgium. The
other vessels comprising our European
fleet were the Kearsarge and the Sacra-
mento. The Stonewall had not shown
I'D as a priyateer until nearly one year
after the Niagara went to Europe, and
we lost no time in getting after her.
was on the Niagara during the whole
cruise, and know whereof / speak. AS
soon as the Stonewall got fully armed
and equipped, and before she did any
damage, she went to Ferrol, Spain,
nine miles up from Coruna, on lake.
As soon as we got the news the Niagara
sped for Coruna. from thence up to
Ferroll, and anchored within 300 yards
of the Stonewall, that was making some
repairs. There and then Commodore
(not Captain) Craven sent the Stone
wall a challenge to come outside and
do battle. A reply came back that if we
would bring the Sacramento to help
she would gladly come out and sink us
both, as soon as she could get ready for
sea. We steamed back to Coruna and
telegraphed to Lisbon for the Sacra-
iilclilO anu Sle cdIIt up " SoI we
all had our swords ground to razor
edge. and everything got ready for bat
! tie, even to stringing cable around our
sides and getting permission from the
Spanish commander at Coruna to GO
out at any time. Finally the StoneWall
was sighted from our masthead as hav-
ing steam up and raising cables. She
came down and went out, and the Mag
ara and Sacramento followed, but be-
fore we were outside the three-mife
limit the Stonewal steamed back, claim
ing a leakage. She finally went out a
second time and US after her. but some
thing was wrong lin the capstan-
| head, / think, and bach she went
again. The third time she went out
but before our anchors could be raised
| the Spanish official notified US we must
| stay in "a hours. SO the Stonewall got
away. We next found her in the Tagus
/ River at Lisbon. There is where the
mistake was made, if any was made
for we were compelled to stay there
another "a hours after the Stonewal
| left. and to stop us going out wher
anchor was raised seven shots were
| fired at us from the Portuguese forts a
| Lisbon. Comrade Craven may hav,
erred in Judgment, but he was no COW.

Where Are the 10th N. Y. Cav. Boys,

Editor National Tribune: What has
become of all those beardless boys of

of these boys who responded to their
country's call. Many of them We're
stricken down by rebel bullets or died
in old Virginia or in Southern prisons.
So many, in fact, that at the close of
the war it became necessary to consoli-
date them with their twin regiment
