A Lesson on Patriotism.

Editor National Tribune: ! can i'm
agine the following truthful scene TAX
ing place in the Hail of Fame in the Ma
tons Capitol:
A teacher and his class in United
States History, visiting the Capitol, con-
clude to go thru the Hall of Fame and
see the statues of famous American pa
triots. In passing thru they come to a
majestic figure. Looking at it the class
exclaim: This is Washington, the Faith
er of his Country!' Passing on they
come to homely figure. Again they
exclaim: This is the immortal Lincoln,
Abraham Lincoln, the Savior of his
Country! We delight to honor Wash
ington and Lincoln, the most famous of
American patriots!'
Again they pass on, soon coming to
very fine statue dressed in gray. One
inquiries: Who is this?" THAT is Rob-
ert E. Lee, the late General-in-Chief of
the Confederate army, dressed in his
Confederate uniform" the teacher an
swers. Another inquiries: why is his
statue in here with true American pa
triots? Is'it fitting to have Lee honored
equally with Washington and Lincoln ?"
Certainly not the teacher replies;
certainly not, for history teaches that

AS Barlow's Division took up its po-
sition on the north bank of the river
Po there came a new and terrifying
phase of the horrors of war The woods
thru which they had fought and fallen
back were now wrapped in fierce
flames, famed by a gentle May breeze
from the south. In these woods had
been left scores of the dead and wound
ed of the two brigades, the men who
had been terminates and dearest friends
of those who had escaped, and who
now stood, musket in hand, with eyes
fixed upon the awful scene. On the
breeze came the scent of burning hu-
man flesh, of calcined wooden garments,
and there came to their ears the agon-
lied cries of Help, Help! Water; for
Gods sake, water.' shrieks of agony
mingled with prayers which those who
were dying that awful death had
learned at their mothers knee In far
away Northern homes. There was no
human help for these, however. Moth
ing could arrest the flames feeding on
the fat pine wood. No man, even had
the times been peaceful, would have
dared venture into that murk of sitting
smoke and consuming heat. The wild
est Imagination of those who have pre-
dicted the awful last days of wrath and
burning, the days when the Heavens
shall come together as a scroll under
the crisping heat. of a burning world,
did not reach the reality of the horrors
which the men on the banks of the Pc
saw in the woods across that narrow,
insignificant stream. No higher praise
could be given the American soldier
than that he saw all this, and yet
marched on with unquailing fortitude
to meet other horrors, possibly to die
as he had seen his comrades, in other
burning, sitting woods.

SNIYTH AND CARROLL.
Two Magnificent Brigade Commando

Editor National Tribune: l have been
greatly interested in your article in The
National Tribune on the battle or the
Wilderness, as / am in much else from
your engaging pen. In a recent num-
ber YOU give the makeup of the old
Second Corps, Army of the Potomac,
and | note an error which / must be
pardoned for calling your attention to-
refer to the Third Brigade. Second Di-
vision which you say was commanded
by Col Thos. A. Smyth, of the 1st Del.
This brigade was made up of the old
First and Second Brigades of the FORM
er Third Division (before the consoli-
dation), commanded respectively by
Col. S. S. Carroll, Sth Ohio, and Col.
Thos A. Smyth, 1st Del. At the con-
Fsolidation in the Spring of "a Col. Car
roll was placed in command of the bri-
gade, which became the Third of the
Second Division. and Smyth was sent to
command the Irish Brigade of the
First Division. Carroll retained COM
mand until after Spotsylvania, where
he was severely wounded, and then
Smyth was returned to the command
of the brigade, which he retained until
mortally wounded on April I, 1865.
Yours was very natural mistake, for
the brigade was better known as
Smyth's thruout the campaign than as
Carrolrs No laudation of either of
these brigade commanders can be eX-
cessive. They We're both accomplished
and extremely gallant officers, fairly i'll

which the superb Hancock selected his
subordinates. 1 served on the staff of
Gen. Smyth for nearly two years, cover

The statement going around as TO
length of service impels James Justus,
Of Hill City, Kan, to put in his claim
as to length of service. He enlisted in
Co. A, 25th Ohio, June IA, 1861; veter-
anized on Folly Island, s. c.; re-enlist-
ed Jan. 1, 1864; was discharged by rea-
son of promotion to First Lieutenant
in the 12Sth L. S. c. T. at Beaufort, S.
c., to date March %, 1865; was pro-
NOTED to Captain in that regiment, and
was discharged Oct. "a, 1866, at
Charleston, for the reason that his ser
vices were no longer required. This
gives him five years, four months and
10 days service without missing a day.
He was in the battles of Bull Pasture
Mountain, w. Va; second battle of Bull
Run, Characteristic, Gettysburg,
Honey Hill and De Eeaux Neck, besides
about 40 skirmishes and lesser engage
ments. He would like TO hear from any

The Fighting for Laurel Hill.

1t should have been mentioned in its
place chronologically that after the fall
ure of several attacks on the evening of
MAY another assault was made upon
the arrival of Cutters Division to rein
force the combatants. Cutler, formerly
of the Iron Brigade, now commanding
Wadsworth's Division, formed on the
right of Griffin and advanced. Cutters
right was in air. and was attacked IN
flank from the woods. Crawford's Di-
vision the Third, moved up on Cutters
right to relieve him from these flank at
tacks. Cutters right was supported by
the Goth Me-, 10th Mich. and 11Sth Pa,
under Lieut.-Col. Herring. This turned
the right of Longstreets Corps, and
came Unexpectedly upon Rodes's Divi-
sion of Ewelrs Corps, moving by the
flank. Rodes was struck instantly and
resistlessly, and driven back three
fourths of a mile toward Laurel Hill.
Crawford, learning of HerringS posi-
ton, ordered him to advance, but this
could not be arranged for until night
was falling. The advance had been
made into a dense cedar thicket, IN
which there was much dead and fallen
timber Suddenly Herring had to meet
swift countercharge, made without
any noise or preliminaries which burst
in a startling way out of the shadows
of the thicket The goth Me. received
the brunt of the assault, and displayed
its usual obstinate heroism. The fight
which followed was frenZied in heat
and bitterness. The hungry, weary men
flashed into a madness of desperation.
Hand-to-hand conflicts ragged all thru
the thickets, bayonets were used. and
gun barrels brought down with crash
ing force upon the heads of the fighters
on both sides. Shouts and curses could
be heard above the clatter of the mus
kerry. The officers emptied their re-
volvers or snatched up guns from the
hands of their fallen men to plunge
into the deadly melee. A Confederate
Colonel was captured in a hand-to-
hand struggle, and Capt. Davis, of the
22d Mass, snatched the colors from
the hands of Sergeant of the 9Th Ala.
The goth Me. took n prisoners and the
22d Mass. so. Altogether the brigade
captured 200. Herring had advanced
a full mile beyond his line, and was
without support of any kind, the knowl
edge of which added to the desperation
of his men. They held their position
until 3 o'clock in the morning, when
Herring quietly withdrew to the line of
battle
