To the Editor Xatimal Tribwte; I called on the Commissioner of Pen­ sions (General Wm. W.

The Geueral branded the statement as false, and de~ olared that no clerk In tlie Pension De­ part nAent had any such information for n» Such Information was known to exist;that instead of lOyOOO, there are not 100 such cases known.

Jake went out with WeidrlehV Battery, "I," of the First New York artlliery, as second lieutenant^ In Jnnnary 1861, having raised th4 battery from 100 to 150 men. Having joined the army of the Potomac he went with his battery through eight engagements. At the second bat lie of Bull Run, while putting In Jits best licks for th« Union, a shell exploded right In front of him and shattered his left leg. While he lay wounded he found A cigsr lu one of his pockets and lit it with A piece of fnse. He was smoking it with AS mush comfort AS was possible under the drcumstAnces when Dr, J. B. Green, ef Pmvldenoe. came up with the medleal staff, and haying obtained a deer from the Stone House, placed him upon it and proceed­ ed to take off lile leg. Jake laid his cigar on the fence white the operation was lielng performed, and took it up when it was over. When the army fell back he was placed In an ambulance and taken to Alexandria. There lie lay In the hospital, among a host of other wouuded. and was'reported as deAd At Buffalo. Ills wife went South to look for bin), fousd him, and hsd kim re­ moved to more, satisfactory quarters where, much'to tlie surprise ot every body, he recovered. There were few men as desperately wounded as ho was --w|th a limb removed Sve inches from.' tlie ))ip jofot--who pulled throfi£h* Last Battle or the War. A very interesting, bit, of personal and geuerAl history,^eepeilAlly to the residents of New Mexico end tlie Rio Grande valley, is the ...fact . tii^t Col.. David Branson, now« resident of this plaoe, is the man who fought .tiie lest battle ami gave the last order to cease Uring, at the close of the war of tlie rebellion, And did It the mouth of New Mexico's greet river, tiie Rio "Grande. The battle was fought on May 12th and 13th, 1865. Colojiel Brau- son was sent out from the general1 camp on tne Brazos Island with a mix­ ed number of about 300 men 'from the second Texas cavalry, dismounted, first Missouri, colored, and the thirty- fourth Indiana, to capture A iierd of cattle for the use of the troops, vyhl le, out he was attacked by a force of about 600 Texas cavalry with art'Ilery under General Slaughter and General Ford. During the fight a war ship arrived with the news of the surreoder of Kirby Smith, the last of the Confed­ erate forces in the Held and conse­ quently the end of tiie war. Gene ral Barrett, the commander o< the gar­ rison, ordered Col. Barrett to cease fighting And return, which betng im­ possible on account of the pressure ol a superior force, and the well known enmity of their paj< toward th* col­ ored troops And the Southern whit# UuijMi troop*, the eogagementwas con-* tinned, though the Unionists retired, lighting, toward the i*lAltd. Geueral Barrett came to the rescue on the 13lh with a small re-enforcsment, and the fight back to the Island occupied all that day. Near sunset, as General Banett was crossing the ferry with the main body, the" AttAck was renewed upon the reer guard le command of DaptAin Coffin. Col. Branson had Jn*t gone hack to thtguard, ami the enemy were re pulsed; the I ast battle of the war WAS over. Then it was that Col, Branson, whn had been luformed of the good tidings brought by the war ship in the oRlng, and fully com pre- hended its fmportarice and the histor­ ical siguifiv^nce of that day's work with himself its a modest though con­ spicuous figure In tlie closing** Aoene of the great tragedv, gave the order to "ceasa firing,'" wltii probably deeper fetliug than lie ever before gave a mil* itary order, and gratefully sheathed lhg>6word tliat had'for five years been the symbol ef command through the bloodiest wer of the ages, never again, he hopes, to draw it in deadly conflict with his fellow man.
