A BIarhted whistle.

Tbs fearful howl Of the steamer
Will Kyls's whistle turned loose this
morning about $3.50 o'clock, as the
vessel approached from New Orleans.
Many people thought the cotton mills
and the entire lower end of the city
had been blown up by powder, and
some believed the world was about to
come to an end. The inhabitants of
the lower part Of the city, we're all
aroused from their sluwber5. At noon
to-day mild dose OF the same whistle
turned off as the boat WIS about to
leave. 1t sounded like the roar of a
thousand mad lions all at once, but
was not as scary as last nights blast.
The boats officers evidently didn't
want to run everybody into the woods

one term vas enough for him.
He declared months before the No.

MINNESOTA.

Comrade L. A. Buckingham, formerly of
company q. Second Minnesota V. l., writes US
from Rockford, H., as follows: In your issue of
the 14th you published letter from VIM.
Denny, Glencoe, MINI, stating that Gen. r. L.
McC0ok Post, G. A. r. had been organized :;
| also, that Gen. L. l.. MeCooll had been wounded
and was afterwards killed by guerrillas. This
is not SO. Bob McCook, as he was called by
the boys, think, never was a general. Why?
Because he would not be and leave his boys
the Ninth Ohio infantry. But yet he was in
command OF brigade when he was SHOT. He
was riding in an ambulance, one mile ahead of
the brigade, sick, not wounded. Murdered is
the proper name for the deed. The man who
gave the name to the Post should look up the
matter little better. There must be some
Second Minnesota boys yet left in Minnesota, and
those who were with the regiment at hat time
certainly could tell of it. No one could forget.
We lost the head and shoulders of our brigade
at that time. Every boy was proud of Bob Nc
Cook, and had good reason to be.
Commander Albert Swift, of Henry Rogers

My DEAR CoMRADE: As / expect to attend
the National Encampment-to be held in Dem
yer this July-in company with Commander
o. A. Jones, Department. of Michigan, as 8
member of his staff, allow me to make one re-
quest of you and your honorable committee of
that city, and that is to do all in your power TO
abolish, as far as possible the sale of liquor in
that place, as / have attended number of
EncampmentS and Reunions and have always
met with a vast amount of inebriety. 1t is
great drawback to our noble Order. / believe
that there are, to-day, at the very least ealcu-
lation, $4,000 good and true comrades who are
outside of our ranks, only because they are
drunkards. have had very broad aequaint-
ance with hundreds of Posts, and see names
frequently rejected for no reason other than
the above. With unblemished records as SOL
diers, it makes my heart ache TO see them re-
fused, and to know that comrades who stood
shoulder to shoulder and faced death with us
in the day of battle and carnage and in those
rebel prison pens, are by this curse, ineligible
TO membership. It is truly very heart-rend-
ing sight, and / therefore beg and pray you
and your honorable staff at the Grand Encamp-
ment to draft into our ritual and bylaws
something to protect US against this great an
noylng evil of intemperance which is dropping
our Order lower and lower every day in the
SlSnb OF the pupllc at large and before our Lord
and Master. OH it seems to me that would
give my life this minute if could hear the
glad news that there would never be another
comrade of the G. A. r. under the influence of
liquor. l heartily approve of your order in
regard to preaching before the various Posts on
the 9th of May, as L believe It did great good.
Comrade, excuse this long letter, as know you
will; for it seems as though my heart would
melt when read some of your speeches, and
especially when you waved that piece of dead
line and narrated the horrors OF those Southern
prison-pens. l know how to sympathize with
You, as | was one Of the unfortunate ones N.Y.
SELF having been in confinement nine months.
That God may speed you on your way In your
noble work, is my prayer.
