23d Mich. Reunion.


The 23d Michigan Regin6nt Vol.
Inf will hold its first annual Reunion
of officers and mon in this cityon the
18th Of September, the anniversaryof
the completion of its organization. 1t
will DO remembered that this regiment
was raised in this Congressional dis
trict and rendezyoused at this place
during the month of August and Sep
tember, 1862
The Regiment was mustered into
the service of the United States on
the eleventh and. twelfth of Septem-
Der of that year, and started on the
10Th forthe western departmentwhore
it served the greater portion of its
term of enlistment, spending the first
winter at Bowling Green, KY; its sec
ond in East Tennessee !; the summer
of 1864 with Sherman in Georgia,
until Atlanta was taken; the Fall and
winter with Thomas in west Tennessee
until after the battles of Franklin and
Nashville, in which battles it partici-
pated; then crossed the country by
steam and rail to Washington. En-
barked at Alexandria for North Car
DINA, where it participated in the cap
ture of Fort Anderson and Whining
ton marched through Kingston,
Goldsboro, Raleigh, Chapel Hill and
Greensboro to Salisbury, where it cam
ped with its division, I'd Division 23d
Army Corps, until june 20, 1865,
where it was mustered out Of the SER
vice and returned home under COM
mand of Col, 0. L. Spaulding its
numbers having been greatly dImin-
ished by the sad havoc of three years
of active service. 1t is expected that
a very large proportion of those who
survive will attend this meeting.

briggs LAST DODGE.
Correspondence of the Detroit FREQ Press

FLINT, AUG:23, 1866.
Enclosed herewith you will find
communication sent to me through
the postofHce, franked by the Hon. j..
f. briggs, proving that it is evidently
political dodge, got up in the hope
and expectation of pulling the wool
over the eyes of the "dear soldiers"
whose votes are, just now, SO much
sought for by the radical candidates
for Office,
Having the assurance of several,
whose names are attached, that they
never signed or authorized any one
to sign for them, it is fair to infer that
many other names have been used
without the knowledge or concent of
the owners.
The arlful and insidous style
in which this circular is drawn up,
shows plainly that it has been careful
ly prepared by some "master wire
puller."
The great object in all this is owl
IDENTIFY to try to counteract the growing
influence Of the conservative party
lately sprung into existance"-a party
composed of 81 many brave and gal
liant officers and soldiers as well as SO
many prominent politicians Demo
cratisy and Conservative Republicans
whose great and only desire and O.
termination is to see our Union re-
united under the Constitution and
laws; party, therefore, SO opposite
in its views to the present ruling rad
iool ono, that unless it can be put
down the other must be annihilated
and the present offceholders lose
their 'bread and butter"
Hence the resort to this false appeal
to those who periled their lives to sus-
tain the Union; to those who respond
ed to the call "to put down the rebell-
ion," but not to sustain the party in
power, which for the past two years,
at least has done all in its power to
keep the Union divided. But all such
devices will fail; the masses are awake
and resolved that sour Union shall be
maintained" and that all radical and
disunion representatives must give
way to more conservative men.
The same party deceived the sol
diers once as to the object of the war.
1t will TAIL to do so second time. V.
Enclosed with the above letter was
an aHectionate invitation to the writer
of it to join select party of military
spirits at Flint, ON Tuesday August
18th, to Consult upon the propriety"
of calling a mass meeting of the sol
diers of the sixth Congressional Dis
for the purpose of defining and pub
fishing their position upon the politi-
cal issues now before the country, and
this had the printed names of twenty
six officers appended of whom six are
marked as not having authorized the
use of their names, and twelve have
not belonged to Michigan regiments,
leaving but the signatures of eight
officers Of Michigan volunteers.
1t may DO Of some interest to the
people of Michigan that these eight
if they resolve themselves into mass
meeting, should let their politicaRteel-
ings be published.

"What Is It.p

There is on the waters OF the Sagi-
nav, strange looking nondescript
craft, called the ''What is it ?" 1t is
neither steamer, propeller, tug, barge,
brig, schooner, barque, lighter nor
scow, but it combines little of every
feature of naval phenomenon within
itself. After this style is that new
political craft lately launched at Phi
ladelphia, consisting Of a conglomera.
ton of Copperheads, Confederates,
renegades, War Democrats, peace
sneaks, butternuts, and John-copper-
son bread-and-butter soup bone patri-
ots--without adopting name.-
What shall they be called hereafter ?
They could not agree on Democrat,
or Conservative, or Confederate, or
National Union, or John-copperson,
or anything. The Chicago Tribune
says: Barnum would call the new
party the What is it." If it is not
that, what is it ?-Ehtsprise.
The facts in the case, both in regard
to the craft "What is it," SO incom-
prehensible to the Enterprise man,
and the Philadelphia Convention, so
immensely disgusting to every
blatant radical, rids the above para
graph of all point and pungency, as
effectually as the bright sunlight clears
away the mists which dim and distort
the morning vision.
The hull of the What IS IL, formerly
the +. X. Kane, was built and used
some years as barge, the best on
the river the engine and boiler were
used in running the lower planning
mills, this combination, with wheel,
shaft and other necessary machinery
renders the craft first class steam
propeller, tug, barge and lighter, Cd
dly named to crafty the erratic fancy
of Cpat. S. r. Kirby, but neverthe-
less substantial, reliable, paying
vessel, no miracle nor phenomenon,
but practical fusion Of seemingly
homogeneous material was an assem-
blage for useful purpose. The Phi
ladelphia Convention, of statesmen,
patriots and gentlemen of first class
position and politically, financially
and socially from all parts of the
country, holding diverse opinions
upon many points, but who were will
ling, for the common good of the
country, and for the sake of restoring
unity, peace and concord to the ma
ton, to forego all minor considera-
tons, and work together for the no.
Die purpose uniting in the bonds
of peace and fraternal regard the
lately discordant sections Of the I'm
ion. If to assail such a body, met
for such purpose, with ridicule,
slang and vituperation, is not an evil
dence of the lowest measure of peu-
rility, then "what is it ?"
