Captain r. A. Starkey on the battle of
Shiloh.
CINCINNATI, June IS, 1881.

CINCINNATI, June IS, 1881.
DEAR S1R:-I see in your paper of
June s, 1881, an extract from an inter
view with Captain E. H Bail, pub
lished in the Pomeroy Telegraph,
from which you seem to draw the in
ference that General Sherman and his
army were mot surprised at the battle
of Shiloh" l think you misunder-
stood Captain Ball and do him an
injustice as we'll as many others who
were members of the 53rd o. V. I. and
took part on that memorable morn
ing of April 9th, 1862. l was among
those who were present and can cor
roborate the statement of Captain Ball
as to General Sherman riding up in
front of our regiment; the killing of
Orderly Halliday; his exclamation of
my God" when he saw the rebel army
marching upon US. When he wheeled
his horse to return he was only few
PAGES from the right of our regiment;
he stopped a moment and ordered
Captain Appler to hold his position
and he would send him a battery,
which the regiment did until ordered
back by the Colonel to take new
position in the rear, some four hundred
yards distant, which was done in good
order and held for two long hours. |

Captain Ball was present too; | know
that Colonel Wells S. Jones, Major E.
C. Dawes, Quartermaster j. W. Full
ton, Captain John |. Parrell, Captain
G.. W. Cavett, Captain Brewster, and
many others | could mention, heard
General Sherman make the following g
remarks:
II did not know, nor had | the re-
motest idea that we were attacked in
force until | rode upon this ridge and

vision, with no support for more thai
three-fourths of a mile. Sherman

or four hundred yards in the rear o

work obstructing the roads and throw
ing up rifepits and breastworks? We
did this ever afterwards when we were
near or in the presence Of an enemy,
as seven lines of works from six to ten
miles long stand as evidence between
Shiloh Church and Corinth. This
mo surprise" business is an after
thought, and is an injustice to hun
dreds of men as brave as ever went to
battle. General Sherman criticised
two or three of his regiments severely
and unjustly, especially the 53rd O..
V. l., for not holding in check Har-
dee's entire corps of ten thousand men
while he went to the rear and prepared
his army for great battle.

When board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such wide range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis
pensed with, many were skeptical;
but proof of its merits by actual trial
has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the
discoverers of that great medicine,
Hop Bitters, are honored and blessed
by all as Observation-Disclosures.

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG GRAFTON.

An Exact Copy from His Own Manuscript.
To the Editor of the Tribune:
SIR-A Pittsburg correspondent in
the Tribune of July I'd calls attention
to the discrepancies existing in the
grafton of Pr sident Lincoln, as
printed in Greeley's american Con-
f1ict," vol. g., p. 657, and in The st.
Nicholas Ireasare-Bor Of Literature
for June. I think the facts are as
follows: The latter is correct copy
Of the speech as actual delivered, for
it corresponds in the points detailed
with the print of it given in the
official volume published by the State
of Pennsylvania. But Mr.. Lincoln
subsequently revised the speech, and
in April, 1854, he sent to the Soldiers
and Sailors Fair at Baltimore an auto
graph copy of the speech so revised.
This is, no doubt, the form in which
Mr.. Lincoln desired that it be known
to posterity. The copy in Greeley's
Conflict" which was published in
1866, is correct-barring punctuation
except in three respects. In the
first sentence upon" is used for ''on;"
in the last sentence an "and" is in
serted before the clause, 'for the peo-
ple;" and in the seventh sentence, the
word "poor" before power" is omit
ted. a
[ inclose an accurate copy Of Mr..
Lincoln's manuscript, which may
proftably be printed for purposes of
precise information. Very respect
fully, EDWARD MoPHERsoN.
Gettysburg, Penn, July 1881.
t THE GRAFTON.
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth ON this conti-
nent new nation, conceived in Lib
erty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great
civil war, testing whether that nation,
or any nation so conceived and so ded-
icated, can long endure. We are met
on a great battlefield of the war. We
have come to dedicate portion of
that field, as final resting-place for
those who here gave their lives that
that nation ight live. 1t is alto
gether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But, in larger sense, we cannot
dedicate-we cannot conservative
cannot hallow this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it
far above our poor power to add or
detract. The world will little note,
nor long remember what we say her,
but it can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for US the living, rather,
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who have fought here
have so far so nobly advanced 1t is
rather for us to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of devotion-that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have
died in vain-that this nation, under
God, shall have new birth of free
dom and that government Of the
people, by the people, for the people,
shall not perish from the earth.

THE ROBIN,S SONG.

when the willows CLEAN along the brooks,
And the grass grows green in sunny nooks,
In the sunshine and the rain
hear the robin in the lane
Singing 'Cheerily,
Cheer up, cheer up;
Cheerily, cheerily,
Cheer up.
'sBut the snow is still
Along the walls and on the hill.
The days are cold, the nights forlorn,
For one is here and one is gone.
Tut, tut. Cheerily,
Cheer up, cheer up;
Cheerily, cheerily,
Cheer up
when spring hopes seem to wane,
hear the joyful strain
song at night, song at morn,
lesson deep to me is borne,
Hearing, 'Cheerily,
Cheer up, cheer up;
Cheerily, cheerily,
Cheer up.'n

IT is we'll enough to talk about laws
to prohibit the carrying of pistols, but
such laws will not accomplish the de-
sired result. In nine cases out OF ten
the fact that man carries a conceal
ed weapon is not made apparent until
he has shot himself or somebody else,
and then an application of the law
falls fiat, for the mischief against
which it was to have proved a protec-
ton is done. There is but one way to
remedy this evil, and that is the radi-
cal one. Prohibit the manufacture
and sale of pistols, absolutely and
without exception, and compel the
man of assassinating tendencies to
shoulder shotgun or buckle on sa-
bre when the desire comes upon him
to go forth and kill. Depend upon it,
there would then be marvellous de-
crease in cowardly crimes, and the
chapter Of casualties would grow
beautifully less.-Cincinnat Times

There are for many reasons, few diseases

Fire" There is no disease which so COM
pletely disforms and disfigures the visage of
patient; and it may fairly be compared to
a red mask thrown by a mocking demon over
the human face. 1t is almost as dangerous
as it is repulsive. Arising from variety of
causes. running its course with paint often
ends suddenly in death. The old treatment
consisted of blood-letting and the use OF
strong drastic purgatives. The substance of
the enlightened modern treatment is all con-
