Jowa, Cape Horn, Wash. Ter.from Geo. Urlli'i AliTo thk Editor: Oen. Howard, la his monograph on the charge at Mission Bidge, Uatm the impression that Gen. Carlin’s Brigade (First Brigade, Firat Division, Fourteenth Corps) did not take part in that charge. Carlin’s Brigade re-enforced Hooker at Lookout Mountain on the 24th of November, and on the 23th the brigade returned to Gen. Thomas's command about noon and took place on the right of Johnsou’s Division, to which it belonged, and participated in the charge. I see there is aume controversy as to the regiment that made up that brigade in the Atlanta campaign. The First Brigade, First Division, Fourteenth Corps, had eight regiments, vis., the 2d, 33d and 24th Ohio, 10th and 21st Wig., 88th Ind., 16th Ky, and 104th 111,, and was commanded by Brig.-Gen. W. P. Carlin. At the battle of Peach Tree Creek the brigade was commanded by Col. A. G. McCook, Gen. Carlin beiug absent on leave. During the latter part of the Atlanta campaign Gen. Carlin had command of the Firat Division and Col. Hobart, of the 21*1 Wis., eommauded the brigade.—W. B. Koby, Lieut, 33d Ohio, and A.-D.-C. to Gen. Carlin, Red Cloud, Neb.
