While there we got orders to go inland

We went along leisurely, and got to
Brownsville about noon, and found
some country pickets loafing around

fields made their exit a hurried one,
and we marched thru the village and
stacked arms for dinner about q half
mile beyond, near field of sweet pota-
toes. oh, but those Isswest potatoes
were good; it makes my mouth water
yet to think of them. After dinner we
went back thru the village ito about a
mile south of town and halted for OBJ
servations. Col. Cockrel, cavalry COM
mander, with his field glasses, saw
some cavalry pickets iloiterirg around
an old barn about a '1mile away. He
turned to the Lieutenant in command
of our two 10-pounder PARROTS and
said: Lieutenant, give the old barn a
few shells" The Lieutenant fired four
times, and that was all theyJneeded TO
make them skedaddIe. JrWe took UP the
march, and about seven miles from
Brownsville came to wtlereotwo rebel

Inc Regular brigade, army Vi tne
Cumberland.
Elias White Cos. II and C. 18th U.
$, Portland, Ore. feels that the Reg
ular Brigade, Army of the Cumberland,
has not been given the recognition due
it for the gallant work it did at Jones'
boro. Aug. 81. 1904, it destroyed a
portion of the Montgomery & Atlantic
Railroad in the vicinity of Atlanta.
This was part of Sherman's plan of
destroying all communications between
Atlanta and the outside world That
night it halted along the railroad, and
the next morning just as Comrade
White had gotten his mess of corn and
beans ready for his breakfast, the
bugle blew, but his appetite was such
that he did not like the idea of losing
his bres kfast, so he carried it to Jones'
boro. Imagine his dismay as they ar
rived upon the field to be ordered to
strip and prepare for a charge. His
breakfast and he therefore parted COM
pany. In the charge Estes Brigade
struck the salient in the enemy's line,
and altho they carried the line their
losses were severe. The reinforce
ments did not arrive in time to support
the brigade, and it was driven back.
About 5 o'clock Estes Brigade came
up and charged the enemy's line again.
Gen. GOvan, with nearly his whole bri-
captured. The Regular Brigade is en-
titled to as much credit for the capture
of Gen. Govan and the artillery as the
troops that actually made the capture,
as ii drew most of the fire from the
rebel batteries. After the battle Com
rade White helped carry out and bury
II men from the 18th n, Y, which
regiment lost more than any other en-
gagged. The only mans name he re-
members among those killed was that
OF Michael Larkins. Comrade White
was within a few feet of the enemy at
the first line of works and behind a
small persimmon tree. Larkins came
up and said, This is n hot place"
Comrade White turned to reply when
a erapeshot struck Comrade Larkins
under the left eye and he fell dead.
All the limbs and most of the bark were
shot off the tree, except where Com
rade White was hugging the tree so
tight it could not come off

the letter, but there are some lmpor-
tant details lacking. Take his descrip-
ton of the battle of Resaca, which is
based on the report of Gen. Lo-

as far as it goes, it says nothing ofthe

mand of Col Bayard. Along in the
afternoon the 1fth Brooklyn became a
little leg weary, so the cavalry changed
places with them, giving their horses
to rest the infantry boys. Just before
sundown the advance struck the Con-
federates' outpost. Then there was
fun. The cavalry boys yelled for their
horses, and the infantry boys tumbled
off and hunted for the guns which some
kind-hearted cavaIrymen were carrying
for them. The cavalry chased the enc

And as long as the company is under

Hawaii and by the remittances of the

enormous amount of subsidy from the
