Who are entitled to PcnSiOns-aud how
to obtain them.

An officer or soldier who is wounded, in
jured, or contracts disease while in the SER
vice of the United States, which disables him
from performing manual labor. is entitled to
pension, when he is discharged, to COM
meuce from the completion Of the proot IN
the case. lhe amount @: pension depends on
rank and the degree of disability. Ii man
loses an arm or leg, it is deemed and called
"totM disability" and he is entitled to the
highest rate of pension. Chronic diarrhra,
consumption, Nc, if con'rac's,! ,rlHe IN the
serrice, if they disable from manual labor, en-
title the party to a pension, the same as if
wounded in battle
We know of colonel who contracted di-
arrhra in the war of 1912. which totally dis
abled him; yet. owing to his ignorance of
the law, which he supposed only applied to
those wounded, he did not apply and COM
pete his proof until 1892, whereby he lost
over tire hioasaad dollWs pension money
This would have been saved to him, had he
consulted an intelligent attorney, experienced
in pension claims, who could have instructed
him as to his rights.
If an officer or soldier is killed. or dies in
service. or of disease contracted while IN
service, after he is discharged, his widow or
minor children, as the case may be, are en-
titled to pension, to commenc ce from the
date of the death of the officer or soldier
The rate fpension is IN all cases one-half of
the pay tie officer or soldier received while
in service, provided the pension does not ex
ceed the pay of lieutenant colonel. Ifthere
is no widow, ur she marries again, in that
case the pension is due to the children under
sixteen years of age.
The foregoing remarks apply to all the
wars in which the United States have been
engaged,as well as the present war againstthe
rebels

Retaliation.

A barbarous edict lately issued by the reb-
el Secretary of War throws new question
before the public and the Government. One
person from the seeded States has been
tried in Philadelphia under our laws for pira-
cy and found guilty, and new trial of sew
eral others is impending in New York, there
having been disagreement Of the jury on
the first trial. Secretary Benjamin, there
fore, orders an equal number of our highest
officers now held by the rebels as prisoners
of war, to be selected by lot, to be set aside
and treated precisely like these pirates. That
is, the Government is to be coerced from the
legal administration of justice, under penalty
of bloody retaliation. The country and the
world will mark the barbarity of this threa-
tened measure.
The parties singled out 90 not stand upon
anything like the same basis. The soldier
who is captured on the battle field is entitled
to honorable treatment by the laws of mod
ern warfare, and receives it everywhere, ex-
cept amorg savases. A pirate is an outlaw.
He knows when he enters upon his nefarious
pursuit that the laws of every nation are
against him. But when he is captured-as
is the case with those under consideration
he has the benefit of fair trial, counsel Of
his own choosing, and jury Of twelve hon
est men. If he is convicted, it is because
the laws-which are the same in peace and
in war-have been violated The President
can reprieve him, but the law, within its do
main, must take its course
This rebel threat aims to arrest the whole
machinery of our laws, because by the Jew
Benjamin's order, our doomed officers are.
from the first, "to be confined in the cells re-
served for prisoners accused of infamous
crimes" and treated accordingly throughout.
The administration of justice in this country
is to be overthrown by the miscreants who
have the lives of some of our citizens in
their hands. The idea is preposterous. no
matter how painful the alternative. But We
do not believe the threat will be executed
The order was issued before it was known
that such prisoners as Messrs Mason and
Slidell had come into our possession. If un-
provoked retaliation is started against us, its
perpetrators must not expect TO be saved
from provoked retaliation. The blood of a
Mason, Slidel and Faulkner is lot too
good TO wash out that of a Corcoran AID a
Lee. But We viii not calculate upon such
atrocities. No people will dare to face the
terrific responsibility of opening such food
gates of vengeance and destruction. All the
officers and guardians OF the law have to do,
is to do their duty seienely ard tearlessly,
and the result will take care of its t.-EoS-
ton Journal.

information from Charleston and vicinity, has
given me chapter of interesting facts about
the negroes. He says that they have some
how got the idea that they are adranciag tleir
o~n cause by keeping quiet They know,
most of them, all that is going on and what
it is for. They believe it is for their free
dom. News travels very fast with them
They usually know of an event that has ta-
ken place sooner than the whites. They are
ride awake nights! They are very still and
quiet, and sleepy in the day, manifestins no
interest in what is going on,but at night they
are on the alert for news. There is one ne
gro in that vicinity-I have his name, but for
his sake shall lisp it to no one-who for
his natural intelligence, shrewdness and ac-
tivity is of great value. His master was off
cred very large sum for him before the war
broke out. lie has great influence over the
slaves, who have unbounded confidence in
him. .Iy informant had conversation with
him not many days ago. 1t was relative to
the opinions and feelings of the negroes:
81 tell EN-" said the negro, "lhat they
must be quiet. l says to EN- keep yer eyes
wide open and pray for the good time comm"
And then, said my informant, the man with
true eloquence- feeling every word he utter
ed-exclaimed:
81 tells 'em that if the Souf whips, it's all
night wild yer; but if the Norf whips it is all
day wild yer"
"Do they believe that 90
"Yes, Massa, all believe it. The black
men are all wild Yer, only some of em isn't
berry we'll informed, but they will all be wild
yer. Massa thinks they isn't wild yer, but
they is"
SO under the all controlling hand of Provi-
dence this slave bides his own time of delive-
rance, and counsels his fellow suffering bond
men, looking and longing for the hour to be
quiet wait with patience. 1t is the bur-
den of many poor negro'S PRAYER that the
North may conquer. There may be those
who will look with Indifference upon this mar
rative, or perhaps treat it with contempt, but
to me it is one of the subimest of pictures.

The Brave at Home.

The maid who binds her warrior sash.
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear drop hangs and trembles.
Though heaven alone records the tear.
And Fame shal! never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
AS ever dewed the field Of glory.
The wife who girdS her husband S sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder-
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast her son she presses.
Then breathes a few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesscs,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that iGhS upon her,
Sheds holy blood as ecr the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor.

Of it. Sometimes it is all gladness and SUM-

then it suddenly changes and is dark and is

there are bright days ike this, when We feel
as if we could take the great world in our
arms. Then come gloomy hours. when the
ire will not burn on our hearths, and all
