MINNESOTA.

COmrade Samuel BlOomcT of Saltwater, Min
nssota, calls our attention to a letter published
in one of our exchanges from J. III. Lindeman
of Faribault, complaining that the Department
is mot keeping step with the rest" and that
"all is at route STEP" and asking for the name
and address of the nearest Post or mastering
officer. In reply Comrade Bl0omer, whose SER
vices as Assistant Adjutant- General of the De-
partment last year were of the most efficient
character, writes as follows: at does seem
strange that the cOmrade at Faribault should
not know where to apply for the necessary in
formation in regard to Grand Army matters in
this State, when there are Posts in nearly
every direction from the place. To be sure, we
are not as strong as some other Departments
either in number of Posts or membership.
The old saying, and q very true one, is that a
child must creep before it can walk. We are
young yet, but are steadily gaining ground, as
the following from the Assistant Adjutant-
Generals reports will show: On the 1st of Janu-
ary 1892, we had six Posts with n membership
of 278; on the 31st of December, 1892. we num-
bered sixteen Posts with 10 members. Since
the LIST of January we have Te-OrganiZed one
Post and mustered four new ones, giving
us twenty-Onc Posts and over 500 members.
This showing, [ think, is very fair, when we
consider the prejudices that we have to con-
tend against, and of late the difficulty in travel
on account of the snow blOckades, but | assure
you that by the end Of this year the c0mrade
at Faribaut will have no occasion to think or
say that Minnesota is not keeping step with
the rest. We already have our skirmishers
advanced to Faribault, Hastings, ShakOpee,
Lake City, ST. Peter, st. Cloud, Rochester,
Austin, and number of other towns, and ere
long we will have Posts in them ALL at the
same time recruits are being mustered into the
Posts already organized. In fact, the old vet
Grams in this Department mean business" As
further evidence of the fact, COmrade B0Omer
sends US copy of the circular issued by Com
mander Marty last September, giving full in
structiOns concerning the organization of new

The morning Of the 18th was fixed
for the assault. The batteries were

Reid and the artillery officers stand

of the line VITA intense anxiety, which
became apprehension when they saw
that about half way up The slope there

account. "that if Chapultapec was
not taken neither would the city be.

Asking leave of the senior engineer

his men, he obtained it with the
words, "Go, and God be with you !"

Reds action was not so reckless as
this account of an eyewitness would
make it appear. The outer wall of the
castle was commanded by three pieces
of cannon on the parapet. which load
ed with grape and canister, fearfully
decimated the ranks of the Americans
at every discharge. To advance
seemed certain death. But death
seemed equally certain whether the
assailants retreated or remained where
they were. Such il bis explanation

ready!"
"Come on !" sh outed Capt. Reid, as
he bravely leaped over the scarP that
had temporarily sheltered them, and
made the charge already described.
There was no need, he says, to look
back to see if he was followed. He
knew that his men would not have
been there unless prepared to 60 where

himself on his face. receiving only a
