iespie's criticism of. Comrade Jacobs's
story of Champions, Hill Interested me.
May 16, as stated by Capt. Gillespie, is
the correct date 7 would however,
remind the Captain that April 80 is the
day that Gen. Grant crossed the river,
and started the movement that placed
our troops in the vicinity of Port Glib
son. Our regiment marched all night.
and the battle opened early the morn
ing Of May /, so we couldn't have been
crossing the river and in battle some
IL miles away at t4asame time. The
Jacobs, which Capt. Gillespie thinks
is rather funny, as Comrade Jacobs was
not really engaged. / do not fully
agree with the Captains criticism. My
observation is that soldiers in battle
see but little except in their own imme-
date vicinity, and a comrade in re-
serve could form a very true idea of
the conflict from the sounds along the
battle line. ! know that just on the
ridge beyond the Champion House the
Confederates had a battery. They didn't
keep ii long, however. Beyond this
battery ! was wounded and was taken

Raid on the SutIer.

Editor National Tribune: In The Ma
tional Tribune, Dec. 80, Comrade Chas.
Porter, Co. E, 18th Vt, has a short
article, entitled 'Looting the Sutler."
This is the way 1 remember the event:
There were two or three trains loaded
with troops about ready to pull out.
On the other side of the train next to
ours was a platform filed with COM
missary stores and some barrels of
commissary whisky While the soldier
on guard was walking his beat some of
the boys rolled barrel under the cars
between the two trains, knocked in the
head and proceeded to help themselves.
Col. Foster. who was Officer of the
Day, came along, but the boys had dis
appeared. The suffers tent was not
near our car, but we heard of the raid,
and a keg of picked pigs feet was
brought aboard our car. 1 didn't take
any whisky, but confess to taking one
of the pigs feet. 1t was a raw, cold
day. We had no chance to make cof-
fee, and the boys were out of hurnor.
The weather towards night developed
into what Whittier in his Snow
Bound" describes as hard, dull Bit
terness of cold" and before dark a
clustering snow storm set in. While
the train halted at Harper's Ferry a
comrade. nicknamed Pinky, who played
in Adams's Brigade Band, came along
with some bakers soft" bread, and
said: Take one, drummer" I asked
him where he got il, and he replied:
PUT in a five-fingered requisition for
it" After leaving Harpers' Ferry did
not see Steve Taylor one of our fifers,
until after we had been some days in
camp at Petersburg. When asked to
give an account of himself he said that
when the train stopped at Harper s
Ferry he was SO nearly frozen that he
left the train. The "a hours ride from
Harper's Ferry to Washington was one
of the most uncomfortable / ever ex-
perienced; being on platform cars there
was no protection from the driving
| snow storm, and several times our train
was stalled. Once the engine was OBJ
liged to go for another to get us up a
long grade. Arriving at the wharf in
| Washington, a car loaded With barrels
| OF hot coffee was dealt out to us, the
| first we had had in 4S hours We then
| went aboard Transports. After a cold,
| rough trip we reached City Point the
next night, and were treated to a IS
mile ride by moonlight over Grants
railroad. and went into camp near the
High Signal Station.-Joseph Mears,
Drummer, Co. H, I'd VT.

Thomas Was Not Jealous.

Editor National Tribune: In ell the
history or the writings by comrades I
have never seen anything derogatory

Comrade ]. J. Osborn relieved himself
of what, in my opinion, is a reflection
upon that Generals character. The fact
that Sherman appealed to Thomas for
advice is proof that Sherman had the
utmost confidence in Pap Thomas
The idea of Thomas being afraid uf

it been other than patriotic John A.

The 18th Wis.

Editor National Tribune: I have
never seen any article about my old
regiment. the 14th Wis. We were or
ganized at Camp Wood, Fond Du Lac,
in the Fall and Winter of 1861, and in
the Spring of 1862 were in Benton
Barracks until short time prior to
the battle of Shiloh. When the battle
began we were at Savannah, six miles
below the battlefield, and Gen. Grants
Aid wanted us to stay there and guard
Gen. Grants headquarters, but the reg
iment objected. and we took a steamer
for the battlefield. We got there at IL
p. m, and We're in the second days
fight. L don't know what brigade or
division we were in We fought all
thru the second days battle, and when
we got back to camp l think the most
there was in any one squad was 22
men. But they began to come in, and
pretty soon we had quite a decent roll
call. After the battle we were kept
there at Pittsburg Landing guarding
stores until in July, when we went to
Hamburg Landing, seven miles up the
river, and abandoned Pittsburg Land
ing. We stayed there until September
and went to Corinth. Were there at
the second battle, which, 1 think was
the most hOtiy contested battle we
were in in the whole four years of SER
vice. After the last battle of Corinth
we went with Grant on his Central Mis-
sissippi campaign, but when our COM
munications were cut at Holly Springs
we turned back and went into camu
at Grand Junction. Were there thru
a heavy snow storm. We then went to
Memphis, and steamed down the river
to Vicksburg. All thru the Vicksbure
compaign we were in McPherson'S
Corps. After we had captured Vicks,
burg we went to Natchez. We stayed
there until about October, when we
went back to Vicksburg and went into
camp. and in December, 1863, we re.
enlisted and went home on veterans
furlough. When we got back we were
separated; part of the regiment was
with Banks up Red River and the RES
of us went with Sherman on the At
lanta campaign.-Wm. III. III. Bradley

would not. Our Government seemed to
