aoLDERs AND CIVIL. OFFICES.
Rock ISLAND, Jaanary 20. 1866,
Editors Chicago Tribune:
Within day or two I noticed an article
written at Peoria, speakingof the civil offices
Of our country, and giving reasons why these
positions Of profit and honor ought to be
given to our returned disabled officers aud
soldiers. The article is fn'l of truth, as We
have seen it exempliaed every day.
thought knows that every portion of our coun-
Try has its disabled officers aud soldiers who
have heen mustered uut or discharged from
the service on account Of wounds received or
disease contracted in the discharge CT their
duties.
Thy are men who rushed 10 the rescue
when the first call was made for volunteers;
good, tue and loyal men, who have only left
their places at the front because theY were
rendered unable to perform the duties neces-
sarily required Of them.
I do not know Of single instancein which
one of these men has been appointed to Office
or position that would tend towards COM
peneating him for the priyations or sutferings
endured, OF the faithful services he has rem
deIed, but On the contrary 1t does seem as
though every office is given to politicians Of
the smaller class who nre some'' on polit-
ical gatherings, and loud In their endorse
ments OF the pulicfes Of the Administration,
who are very willing to advise and encourage
volunteering, but never for one moment en-
tertain the thpught Of volunteering them
selves.
: These are the men who ret the appoint
1nent to offices Of profit and honor. while
disabled soldiers as well qualified, and in all
other respects are better men, nre laid on the
shelf and forgotten. This Is wrong. Gov
ernmcnt should see that these offices are given
to disabled soldiers who arc more worthy but
not SO blatent as this class Of stay-at-hpmc
politicians. It is astonishing how soon the
soldier aud his services are forgotten be has
earned, and should have the preference in ap-
pointments to Office, but does he get them>
McssTs. Editors, do yon know Of an in
stance in which modest good soldier has re.
cciyed an appointment to Office? Arc the Of
f1cers at Camp Butler and in the several de-
pa.tmcnts at Spring field, men who have
served in the army and have returned disa-
bled! know Of but one, and that exception
Is our noble Governor-Gen Dick Oglesby,
Who arc our Provost Marsha|s and their dep
nties Throughout this States Who are our
collectors ofrcvenucs In short, who fill all
the civil appointments Of profit and honor?
hayo sew d three years in the army and
Ind the good fortune to get through without
days Sickness or scratch, therefore I have
20 claims on my Own account, but see every
day those who were not so fortunate, some Of
them my fellow soldiers, and It makes mr.
heart nchc TO see them neglected, forgotten,
md many Of them really in want, when Ii
could be renedied by dong them Justice by
appointing them to these Offices.

INTELLIGENCE AND AFFECTION OF THE Horse.
"A soldier who served in Sheridan's cavalry,
relates the following incident illustrative OF
the intelligence aud affection Of the horse
Il wss in one Of those forced marches, when
they had driven back the enemy and had been
10 the saddle for several consecutive days and
nights, that this trooper awaited himself OF a
temporary halt, to slip from his saddle and
stretch himself upon the turf--his horse,
meanwhile, brousiug in the immediate viciu'
ity. He had slept TOR some little time, when
be was suddenly awakened by the frantic
paving of bis horse at his side Fatigued by
his long ride, he did not rouse at once, but lay
in that partially conscious state which 20 fre
quently attends great physical prostrstion =
Soon, however the faithful animal perceived
that its efforts had failed to accomplish their
object, licked his face, and placing its mouth
close to his ear, uttered loud snort Nov
thoroughly awake, he spraug up and the
horse turned for him to mount, he saw for the
first time that his comrades had oil dissp-
peared, and that the enemy were coming
down upon him at full ealop Once mount
ed, the faithful hesst bore him with the speed
of the wind safely from the danger, ant
soon placed him among his companions.-
Thu" he added with emotion, "the noble
fellow saved me from captivity, and perhaps
! from death "

Ohio. The day he was nominated, the fol-
lowing incident took place, which is thus

difficulties TO settle with Captain Curry, the
Republican nominee for Representative,
swore that they would buck and gag him, and
made Tor him, or went for him, as they ex-
pressed it, for the purpose of doing 40. The
Captain ran from them as fast as he could,
and took shelter in store, after running
some fifty rods. Here he thought himself
safe, bat in this he was much mistaken. They

then ran across the street. and into another
store, crowd Of some two or three hundred
running after him, only o few OF whom wished
70 do him harm, the balance out OF mere Gu
rlosity we suppose, for they made no effort to
assist the Captsin.
/" He remained but short time in this latter
| place of refuge till he was forced to run for

which be was forced TO lenve in a very few
minutes his pursuers now at his heels, stri-
king and kicking him whenever they could,
as he ran through the crowd. We we're told
that be was knocked down three times, but
we did not see him knocked down at ALI we
saw him once on the ground, but supposed be
fell in attempting to run through the crowd.
Here two or three friends rendered him a
little assistance, and he got out Of the crowd
and ran fast as he could, pursued as before
but this time he outstripped his pursuers, and
got into his buggy and drove home"
