The sun God ere he bids ddieu to this
scene, kisses the sinuous bayous and
streaks their mirrored tops with silver,

the heads and limbs of trees, and throws
one blood red CLEAN through vistas of
evergreen dying away into blue dreami-

soon the. pale crescent filings its mystic
beams upon the earth. The giant oaks,
bedecked with moss, seem to assume

If by omnipotent power7 said an elO-
quent champion of this bill, Il could for
forty-eight hours place this Capital back in
the position it was on the Both day of June,
1868, when men, with features blanched
with fear, rushed wildly to and from the
War Department, inquiring in eager haste
the latest news from the front, when no
story was too incredible for belief, when the
head of Lees victorious columns was hourly
expected advancing upon the city, would
cheerfully do it. would ask Senator'S and
Members of the House what price they were
willing to pay the men who would stand
hour after hour amid the blood and carnage
of the battlefield and beat back the invad-
ing army. What viii you give the widow
and orphan of the man who is killed
What compensation to the aged father or
mother whose sou in the ranks is the sola
support of their declining years2 How
much for an eye, or an arm, or leg, shot
away in the storm of battle? Would there
have been much haggling as to price in
these hours of awful suspense? The ex-
pense' would not have loomed up like q
spectre then, as it does now. The soldier
was not then played out He was then
the hope of the Nation, his blood was the
sacrifcial Offering upon the altar of patriot
ism. He was the guardian angel Of the

Then and Now.

When one reflects upon the tremendous
issues that hung upon the result of the
battle of Gettysburg, whore the soldiers Of
the Army of the Potomac presented their
bodies as a living wall in front of Lees army,
the only obstacle in his march to Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington, he reioices
that the bloody sacrifice was not made in
vain. Victory crowned their arms, but ut
what an awful price. The country rang
with anthems in praise of the heroic men
whose courage and fidelity had saved the
life of the Nation.
1t is well that such scenes as those en-
acted upon the field of Gettysburg should De
held up to the view of the generation who
have entered upon the arena since the event
full first, second and third of July, 1863.
Lives as full of hope as theirs were freely
offered in defense of their country, and the
offer was accepted. Youth in its bright
promise, manhood IN the pride ofits strength,
witnessed the rise of the sun upon the field
of Gettysburg, but before its setting lay in
mangled heaps OF slain.
Without the sacrifice of noble lives such
as theirs the march of the Confederate army
could not be stayed The seaboard cities
lay beyond, and to reach it Meade's army
must be defeated in a general engagement.
Not a soldier in the ranks but knew the
character of the conflict that must ensue
when the Army of the Potomac and the
Army of Northern Virginia closed in a
death -grapple. But few iinched. Never
in the history of the war were fewer strag-
glers in proportion to the numbers engaged.
They met the fate in store for them like
brave men and true, and hurled back the
determined assaults Of desperate foe until,
seeing no hope of success, the Confederates
fell back behind the Potomac

THE number of subscriptions to THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE received during the
month Of December was &,790-by far the
largest recorded during any month Of the
past year, but,not 50 large as we had reason
to expect. We trust however, that, during
the year just begun, all, instead Of only a
minority Of the TRBUNE's professed friends
win show their appreciation Of the work
that 1t is doing for our ex-soldiers by can
vassing for new subscribers. There are still
thousands Of ex-soldiers on cur rolls who
as yet have done nothing whatever towards
increasing the circulation of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, and if they would each send us at
least one new subscriber the circulation OF
THE TRIBUNE would soon reach the desired
one hundred thousand. Let US hear from
you, comrades.

WE begin in the present number of the

cipal events of the war, arranged so as to
show at a glance the anniversaries for the

UTICA, n. Y, which during the war sent
many a brave soldier to The front, is doUhly
unfortunate in its newspapers. The Hegl;.
(Republican, aud the Observer, (Democra.ic,) J

The National tribune., 1883-01-04

THE essence Of the principle upon which
the Equalization of Bounties bin is based is
that every ex-soldier TO whom the United
States Government offered a bounty as an
indpcement to enlist in its defence has 3
just claim upon 1t for an amount Of bounty
exactly prOportionate to the length of his
service, less only the amount he actually re-
ceived from it, and any one can ascertain
the precise amount due him by multiplying
the number Of months that he served by
eight and one-third dollars, and from the
total subnacting the amount of United
States bounty already paid him. Such
measure as this must commend itself TO
every honest and intelligent citizen as at
once just and equitable, and Congress cannot
much longer afford to triae with it. AS
Senator Oliver ?. Morton, Indiana's great
War Governor, once said Of this measure, in
the course of an eloquent appeal for its
passage:
It must and viii triumph sometime II it does not
