A Method OF Making the Order an Insurance As
ISOLATION.

ISOLATION.
To THE EDITOR: Knowing of no better
method of bringing matter before the boys
in blue than by the aid of your valuable paper,
/ write a few lines on subject of interest to
nearly al old soldiers, and one that has been
quite largely discussed in this section. l refer
to a method that will, in degree, make the
GAR an insurance or beneficiary Order. In
January last, at Rochester. the subject was dis
cussed and voted favorably upon, but since that
time nothing, as / can learn, has been done in
its advancement If Tmstake not, it was then
proposed that on the death of comrade five
cents per member should be collected through
out the State and given his widow or depend
ent children. If he left neither the sum should
not be elected. There are but few of the old
soldiers in very comfortable circumstances;
but all are able to pay five cents, and many
would unite with the Order that now say they
are not able to take from their family for mere
amusement even the small sum required to
meet the expense of the GAR. This little sum
per member would provide in most cases a lit
tie place to call home, pay doctors and other
necessary expenses, and in many ways tighten
the dist ess of sad and sorrowing friends Of de-
serving comrades. If you think this matter
worthy of adoption, would suggest that you
give aiG an encouragement through the col
umns Of your paper, and by so doing it will
reach TIE majority of soldiers homes, and we
think sl.eedily become fact with the Order

gotten over It when ne rode over TO the center of
the line, where the rebels had met with terrible
repulse. He knew that the men who stood on the
crest which crowned by Fort Robinet had
never yielded foot. but had killed captured
every rebel who tried to carry that crest by storm
So. when he reached that position, held by the
Ohio Brigade, he halted his horse, and pointing off
70 the right, said: q" have Just come from n part
Of the line where the retired before the enemy
like old women; but now / know, partly from
what saw from a distance. and partly from these
piles of dead along your front, that am In the
presence of brave men brave that take my
hat off in your presence, and in the name OF our
country thank you for your great valor." Not q
soldier who heard these words will ever forget
them, the dramatic appearance of Rosecrans
as he uttered them, hat in hand.
DIsBAND THE GRAND ARMY.
The omnipresent crank does not forget to pay
his respects to the Grand Army, but of all the
weird vagaries that have shaped themselves
with words addressed to the Commander-in-
Chief, the following communication, overlincd
in red ink with the words {" Greeting" J" Peace
be with you, Amen!" is decidedly the most
unique. Here it is:
! command you in the name of the
Prince of Peace,
whose servant and messenger am, to disband the
Grand Army of the Republic and circumference
the organization of the children for any other pur
pose than that of serving the Lord God Almighty in
Truth and Love and Peace
What thou doest, do quickly.
