bers mostly present.. The said escort was
one gland failure. The Butternu; De.

ing extensive arrangements for some three
weeks, and. on the previous Saturday |,
held special meeting for said purpose
but. af:er all this. and after drumming up
FOR volunteers from early Monday morn

TO start, oil told ocne lumber wagon with
band, six country buggiese md thirty

ages were freely offered, but there we're

this place is, the old leaders Of the party,

ashamed to be seen going out TO escort an

The day was beautiful; there could be no
excuse on that score. The o!d stagers ie.

This Franklin county procession, CON
sisIing cf Just forty four persons, went out
six miles, where they met the DR., and
bis dear friends from Fairfield county
About O'Clock, the procession made its
grand entree into the City. and consisted
Of, first, the Chief Marshal, then the Band
then horsenien TO the number OF 1870, in
two ranks. from thitty TO two hundred
feet apart; then the martyr, drawn by two
mules; after which came buggies and
lumber wagons, makirg, in ALL. $50 per-

liad been condemned as unfit for cavalry
service, aud bought up on speculation at
some Quarter masters sale. Some Of the
riders were top heavy, some sleepy, and
you might stake your whole establishment

a vote nor write their names, save with a
mark. TO the honor Of the ladies', hero

came through The suburbs, there was
some light cheering, but none in The heart
Of the city. After going around The State

the Goodale, cheered themselves. and, on
being ordered by the Marshal, cheered
the Dr. The Hon. Mr. Converse, Mem.
Der Of the House from Franklin County,
made the welcoming speech. In his reply,

The Democrats had what they called an
old-iashioned Democratic Celebration at
the American, on the evening OF the oh.
Judge Ranney. President Of the occasion,
made a good war speech. He said they
while upholding the Constitution, musl
rot forge, TO support the laws Of the
country. 1t is fortunate for the State
that Judge Ranuey was on the Demo
cratic ticket, since Mat ticket was success
|ful Lyman r. oCritchfeld. Attorney
General elected on said ticket, made q
speech on the occasion. He said he had
no doub that more than one half OF the
people Of the North would rather live un.
der jeff. Davis as President. than Mr.
Lincoln. Judge Thurman. Of this city,
and Judge Barley made regular Sescsh
speeches. They were for Withdrawing
our forces from the field. Barley pre-
scented an Indictment against Lincoln, con
tanning thirty. eight counts. Some OF the
better ones OF the party left in disgust
The reasonable parts oil these speeches
are not published in the Democratic pa
'pers They are not Only ashamed Of, but
tliscusted with suehtalk.
This Celebration v IN do good. There
are but few who win respond to such sen
timen,s. The sooner the. people learn
that these men are svowed traitors, the
sooner they will discard them. There is
no danger of the Union Democrats in the
House joining hands with such men.

California Cavalry, said /: "He had
t;,at morning received assurances from
Washington that the tender ef a whole
cavalry battalion from California was
accented. The bnttall,on could be
co"nted as part Of the contingent Of

This is the way by which Massachu
setts sto l.akc up her deficiency un-
der the last Calls. This is the way hy
which the State Of Massachusetts pro-
'uces her .'swarms" by getting them
from other States. Gov. Andrews told
the President that if he would only is
sue an Emancipation Proclamation the
roads OF his State would swarm with
troops. The proclamation was forth
coming. but not company has been
raised in that State since that docu
ment WAS given to the people. Cali

he DID not THINK any man could to 60
foolish as to give such an order. but in
a day Or two down came two members
Of Davies staff and said it must be
done. He said his men alemost cried
with anger whcA they were ordered to
10 it, and as it was only put wooa'N
Plugs in s,mc of them. After taking
away every means Of defense the men
had except their rifles he Davies let
them there on the Island at the mere,
of any force that might come along,
there being only l15 of them.
When we got here we found the same
state of things or worse if possible, be-
cause the guns here were not only
spiked and dsm ,untcd l'ut the carriages
were burnt up and all the barracks
were burned also. The principle naga-
zine was blown up and every thing ii
the shape Of government property des-
troyed. ....
Fort Thompson at this place built
by the rebels while they occupied 70 &
strong earthwork and trench, and wai!
calculated to command the river On land
but in the shape it is now amounts TO
little to us only as place to fall back
in if attacked hy a superior force.
We have seen no armed enemy since
we have been here, We thought We
saw some on Sunday but
it proved to be our pickets on some
niggers horses, we thought it was cav
airy and GIT in line Of battle to rcceire
them. The people say here that there
was few guileras here when we land
ed but that they pat for the woods.
We slept on our arms the first night
we were hear so as to ho ready If an
attack was made, but wo were n't
troubled. This is a very pretty loca-
ton for a town, but there is not much
of town here and what there is, was
pretty badly riddled the time Pope
attacked the place.
Those who have been back say the
country is fine but that many fine
farms have gone TO waste. There was
an Earthquake here in 1911 or ~, and
the old people say there was quite a
large city here but it was swallowed
up and that the Mississippi now runs
over it,
There arc plenty Of niggors here
and the most of them seem contented.
l thisk we will probably stay
here all this winter, still soldier don't
know when or where he is going; no
may start for one place and stop at
another.
The weather here is much warmer
than have been used to seeing this
time in the year, it is little cole
nights and mornings but otherwise is
about like Sept. or Oct, up in Iowa.
The boats are running all the time.
sometimes as maay as s or 10 day
will pass, but we get but very little
news, I have not seen but one news
paper since we left st. Louis to read
it; one of the boys got 4 Chicago Times
to day from a fellow for passing him
through the lines, he was selling them
at 25 cts apiece. AS soon as l get
some money am going to subscribe
for ST. Louis or Memphis paper, but
have not had cent Of money for
over two weeks. That CID fool sent us
out on the rail road or we would have
had eur pay on the ist of this month.
We may get it now but | am afraid wc
wont.
