A CENTENNIiL.-Mr. Charles S. Forbes,
of St. Alban's, Vermont, has sent the Dis
patch copy Of his sketch Of the 7" Ransom
Guard" Of st. Alban's, Vermont, and their
Centennial excursion to Philadelphia. The
sketch is very neatly printed in pamphlet
form. and contains the following reference
to the Richmond soldiers
"On our left the Virginia regiment
OF the Centennial Legion were en-
camped. They formed battalion two
hundred strong from the First Regiment
N. G, of Richmond. The colonel, Bradley
T. johnson, was maior-generat in Stone
wall Jackson's army, while the major in
command OF this battalion was once the gal
lant Colonel Ordway Of the Twenty-fourth
Massachusetts eBoys in Blue Among the
members of the four companies are many
veterans who wore the gray. Captain Bos'
sieux, of Company a, with nearly all OF his
men, saw sfour years OF fighting and they
expressed no little satisfaction at this oppor'
tunitv to fraternize with the Vermont boys,
MANY of whom had met them on the field OF
battle. They seemed to desire reconclllatlon
with the northern boys, but feared the polt
ticians wouldn't allow this much-desirec
end to be brought about"
The sketch also contains the following:
"Appendix.-The 'Gray' of the Old Do
