RecoIIections of Wartime.

Editor National Tribune: My thoughts
go back to boyhood days when / shoul-
dered a musket and marched away to
war. l was but II years old then, and
had no idea what a task lay before me.
But I survived all the hardships and
dangers, participating in IA of the
hardest-fought battles of the war; went
thru the siege at Chattanooga; marched
with Sherman to the sea and across the
Carolina; was at Goldsboro, N. c.,
when the last round came off; marched
from there thru Richmond and on to
Washington and took part in the Grand
Review on May "a, 1865. From Wash
ington we left for home by way of Bal
timore on coal cars. We moved slowly,
as the freight on the roads had the
right of way, and we could only go by
jerks. When we got to Harrisburg
there We're five trainloads of us await
ing orders. We were backed out on the
bridge over the Susquehanna River, and
the regimental bands took turns play
ing their finest music. This caused the
people to turn out till the banks of the
river were covered with waving flags
and handkerchiefs. The people sang
patriotic songs while the bows in blue
cheered, and as our train pulled out
one of the boys said as loud as he could:
"Good-by. We are all going home to
see the girls we left behind U.S.

(Capt. w. +. Goodspeed). belonged to
the Twentieth Corps. In September,
1863, while crossing the mountains be-
fore the battle of Chickamauga, Serg't
Jesse Leonard remarked that the next
battle would be his last. We members
of the gun squad admitted the ipOSsi-
bility, and that we shared the danger
with him. On the morning of the 18th
our division waE shifted from the ex-
treme right to the left to reinforce Gen.
Thomas. The whole division went into
action about IL o'clock a. m, and was
actively engaged until after dark. with
lull of perhaps half an hour at sun
down. Later in the night we fell back
to a-line which was held all day Of the

4Sth Ohio, 32d Ind. and 49th Ill, with
Goodspeeds' Battery fell back. loading
and firing as they retired. Early morn
ing on Sept. 20 white frost covered
the ground and the air was thick with
fog. Serg't Leonard said that his last
day had come. We tried to discourage
such thought. Some reckless state
ments were made by way of encourage
ment. Sergt Lake said that the ball
had not yet been made to kill him, and
yet within three hours Serg't Lake went
down with a ball thru his heart and
Leonard got his mortal wound.-Quincy

The other hangings referred to were

in civil life the majesty of the law must

escaped justice after the dawn of peace.

regarding Col. Hicks. 'That tHionel may
have been a brave n3ah. bue he did not
show it at Paducah, Ks., whSre Forrest
struck us. On our way backt from vet
eran furlough our regiment Sgtopped off

the Ohio River to Padttcah. The report
had 1t that Forrest &as hpading for
that place. and we Eefe hurried to get
into position There were two other
regiments there ahead of u.s.
On the third day Forrest made his
appearance. Col. Hjeks ordered all of
the troops into the Email FORT there,
with barely standing room for the men.
Our Colonel refused''to go III, and said
he would stay and fight Forrest in the
open. He formed a single line, and
started for Paducah, and commenced
driving the enemy out.
1 suppose this was when Col Hicks
took courage, and sent out his reply to
Forrest to come and get him. We drove
the rebels out of town and across the
creek. We sent them thru a clearing
full of stumps and some logs into a
piece of timber beyond, and we skir-
mished with them until dark. and were
relieved by some of the other troops
The next morning Forrest had disap-
peared.
Two days later we started for Mem

front 1t was crowded with white and
negro soldiers. We took our position
on top of the breastworks. We saw
Forests men about half a mile out in
squads, and the railroad was the source
of communication.
Col. Hicks sent out some officers to
meet their flag of truce, and they were
told that Forrest would give us one
half hour to surrender. Col Hicks and
the rest of the regimental officers held
a conference, and we heard Col. Eaton
say, surrender nothing; the 72d Ohio
never surrenders," and he added, Men
of the 72d, follow me-" and out to the
front we went with hurrah.
Forrest left there in hurry. and we
followed and bumped up against him
again after Granada, Ripley and the
Tallahatchie River. in May, 1864, and
in June we again came into collision
with him at Guntown. where he gave
us a good licking thru the mismanage-
ment of Gen. Sturgis.
We got back at Forrest, however, in
July, and at Tupelo We gave him a good
licking when we were out with A. j.
Smith. In August, at Oxford, Forrest
evaded us again. Forrest never did
fight fair fight with the possible ex-
'ception of our little tilt at Tupelo, and
there we gave him enough to thoroly

Raid to Madison C. H., Va.

Editor National Tribune: On Satur-
day. Feb. 26, 1864, the First Division
of the Sixth Corps (Gen Sedgwick)
was ordered to be in readiness to move
in light marching order at moments
notice. We were then in our Winter
camp near Brandy Station, Va. About
noon we received orders to march to
Culpeper, and from there to Madison
&c. H. About sundown we halted for
the night and the writer was so un-
fortunate as to be detailed for picket
and consequently did not get much
sleep that night The ground being
covered with snow to the depth of four
inches, made it very disagreeable, in
deed.
The next morning at 8 o'clock the
march was resumed and Madison c. III.
was reached about 4 p. m, the rebels
falling back on our approach. On
Sunday it began to rain and freeze,
making us very uncomfortable, we hav-
ing no tents We made great fires
of the fence rails. A foraging party
went out next day and secured plenty
of fresh meat, corn meal and flour
and soon the camp was busy cooking
pork and making fiapjacks.
This raid was made just after Presi-
dent Lincoln's proclamation freeing the
slaves was issued. When we were get
ting ready to start back to our camp a,
every crossroad and plantation, until
they fairly blocked the way. Along
side of our company tramped the black
est woman l ever saw. She was a
big strapping woman and she had in
her arms a little black pickaninny
We were pegging it out along the
muddy road, every mothers son of us
just humping himself, and the black
mother was doing the same, she being
also on the road to freedom. There
was a big black coon strutting along
| by the side of the column, and he had
pickaninny under each arm. These
did not have anything on but old
| gunnysack, the same stuff that was
used for bailing cotton and tobacco
After marching thru mud and water
sometimes to our knees. and having tc
| build corduroy roads in some places
for our artillery, we arrived at Cul-
peper toward evening and went into
camp for the night. At our heels were
the great crowd of blacks, who hat
with them all they possessed in the
world, and who were to be provided
| for during the night. Rations were
drawn for them by the Quartermaster
which they prepared In their own way
| 1t was estimated that they numbered
over 1900. Their meal over, they made
the old Culpeper hills ring with theil

cadences of their many voices still lin

they started on their way to the contra

The Sad Fate of the Old Shoemaker

Editor National Tribune: During the
last battle at Corinth we were stationed
about four miles from that town guard

name of the little crossroads town
there, but remember, as the other boys
of the old 5Sth will, the old shoemaker
and his daughters and the small boys OF
the village.
| The Government issued rations to the
people there, as the country had been
| raided until there was no food OF any
kind to be had. When word came to
hurry to COrinth the battle had begun.
and the 58th rushed to the front. l
was in the teamsters' department. We
camped just on the outskirts OF the
battlefield in the timber, the regiment
going into battle, leaving the teams and
convalescent soldiers to guard camp.
The first day there force came in
from the battlefield to the number of
about 80. They belonged to the differ
ent companies of the regiment. About

camp. He had not been gone more
than Is minutes when he came back

the rebels are right on you" We got.

and fired a volley and then retreated
Some one hallowed: Get ready for

Sure enough, they did come on with
another yell, firing as they came. and
as they returned our boys again let
loose on them.
We waited for another charge, but
they did n6 come. We concluded they
had given it up. and we went out to
see what damage we had done. We
found II men and one horse lying dead.
The most surprising thing of it all was
the old shoemaker and the boys of the
village where we had been stationed
