at Bahia, Brazil. Our boat crew going
ashore the day of our arrival, fell in
with an old sailor, who wanted TO know
why we did not come out and capture
them the day they went into Porto
Grande. His report was that as they
came around the point of rocks they
saw our flag, and Immediately went out,
as they had little coal. They waited
out there until noon. when they made
sail and crossed the Atlantic to Brazil.
This sailor had deserted the Georgia
at Bahia. So we lost our prize, and
after that time it mattered little where
we went or what was done. The crew

The Ford at shepherdstown.

Editor National Tribune: In an arti-
Gle by Comrade A. V. Cole. in- The Ma
tional Tribune of July Ia, bearing upon
the capture of the 11Sth Iowa at Shep-
ardstown Ford, Sept 1s, 1862, Comrade
Cole claims that the men of his regi-
ment, the 4th Mich. Cav, acting indc
pendently and without orders, crossed
the Potomac River at ShepardStown
Ford on the night of Sept. 10, 1862,
and captured the rebel battery on the
Virginia side. I witnessed the capture
from the north end of the ford or Mary
land shore, and VIII add what l remem-
ber of it. At noon, Sept. 20, 1862, my
battery CRobertson's Horse Battery,
among others of our brigade, was post
ed on the north bank of the river COW
ering the ford. Duryea's Zouaves (5th
N. " occupied the dry bed OF the
of the hill in front of the batteries
The 11sth Pa was posted on a high
bluff on the Virginia shore and about a
half mile up the river from the mill
In our immediate front across the river
was an open field fringed with woods
half mile back, and it was about $3.50
in the afternoon that three lines Of reb-
Ell infantry. probably 1000 or 5000
strong. emerged from the woods and
advanced rapidly across the field, head
ing directly for the ford. The batteries
opened on them, but at times they
would disappear, passing over the un-
dulating ground, and when within 500
yards of the ford they charged the
118th Pa, who had only time to fire
one volley. They were outnumbered
five to one. and few of them escaped
| across the ford. I wish to correct Com
| rade Coles statement that his regi-
ment. acting without orders, captured
the rebel battery at Shepardstown Ford
on the night Of Sept. 10. In the report
| of Gen. Mcclellan to Gen. Halleck he
says: When our cavalry advance
reached the river on the morning d1
the 10th it was discovered that nearly
| all the enemy's forces had crossed into
Virginia during the night. their rear
| escaping under cover of eight batteries
| placed in strong positions upon the ele-
waited bluffs on the opposite bank. Gen.
Porter, commanding the Fifth Corps
| ordered a detachment from Griffin's and
| Barnes's Brigades. under Gen. Griffin,
to cross the river at dark and carry
the enemy's batteries. This was gal
lantly done under the fire of the enemy.
| Several guns, caissons. etc, were taken
and supports driven back half a mile''
| Comrade Coles regiment may have ac-
companied this expedition, but the cap
ture of the enemy's guns at Shepards-
town Ford, Sept. 10, 1862, was per-
formed by a regular detail, under or
| ders and commanded by Gen. Griffin
