CAPT HILDEBRANT made flying visit
home on Wednesday last Owing to some
difficulty with Col. Marsh, the CAPTAIN has
not been in command Of his Company for

took him to Pittsburg Landing, where he
arrived just as the great battle eommenc-

ceremony, but, seized musket, fell into
the ranks of bis own company, and fought
braveIy until the enemy was routed. This

The Twentieth Regiment.

In another column, we publish the names
Of the killed and wounded of this regiment
at the battle Of Pittsburg, or Shiloh, as it
is more properly called.
According to the statement it will be seen
that the number reaches l26. This is Ger
tainiy very large. considering that but 1914
wentinto the engagement on Sunday morn
ing. Nearly one third Of the brave boys
fell, mortality seldom experienced in the
most desperate and bloody of battles.
Our citizens we'll recolect the fine ap-
pearance ofthe Twentieth Illinois regiment
when it left this city last Summer. 1t
contained over thousand men, young.
robust and hearty. 1t was one Of the finest
and best dicipiine1 regiments that had en-
tered the service. Oat Of that splendid
body Of men, only 2G4 were fit for duty
after the battle Of Pittsburg. Sickness and
the battles Of Fort Donclson and Pittsburg,
had reduced the number thus.
NDbIy has the Twentieth sustained itself,
but its loss has baen more than pro2or-
tomato. 1t was considered a crack regi-
ment; and was therefore placed in the
most pcrilous positions. 1t is Indeed pain
ful to contemplate that 264 sound men are
all that remain Of the thousand noble fell
lows that marched through our streets eight
months ago.

Against Ii.

The True Democrat, true to the instincts
Of the party it represents, has taken ground
against the new constitution, and calls upon
the people to vote il down"
Now we reckon the people win DO no
such thing. The constitution is just as it
should be-and the fact that all the old
federalists, wildcat bankers and Adolf
tiouists in the State are Opposingit. is con-
elusive evidence that its provisions are just
and proper.
The Republicans may howl against the
new constitution until they are hoar.e, but
they can't make tho people believe their
lies about it. The statements about the
increased State expenditures under it's o.
GRAFTON are sheer fabrications. The guess
ton of salaries is left with the people,
who, through their representatives, can
regulate them from time to tins as suits
their views of economy.
The truth of the whole matter is, it is a
white mans constitution, and the Black
Republicans are bound to defeat it, if they
/ can.
