4 Shred Of NV Shiloh Flar.

by Col John a. Joyce, 9th Ky. p IL
How you call me back and again renew
The marches and battles of " sxty-two;"
When your bright stripes futtered SO proud and
From Shiloh church to the murmuring sea.
When bold Johnston's boys" with their rebel
yell, ~
Rushed on our ranks like the stormy waves,
And swept your defenders to bloody graves.
You rose and fell in the front of the fight,
While Sherman held every foot on the right,
And fought with hiS men in the widest gles
On the banks OF the tearing Tennessee.
But the sun went down on your shattered staff,
And your siisen scars like n maideu's laugh
Still fiittefed defiance SO loud and free
For Nation, AentuclS" and Tennessee.
Brave Buell. came mp with his loyal band
Ia the morning mist through that swampy land
Andr rushed on the foe at the dawn of day,
With the loyal blue Z on the rebel gray"
The sunset beams on that April day.
Brought gloom and defeat to the daring gray -
And now to these shreds cling so true
For you take me back to old " sixty-two."
Stone River and Champion Hills might tell
How you stood so fast through the smoke of hell,
And topped in the winds over Knoxville town,
Dalton, Resaca, and New Hope, too.
Shattered the stars In your field of blue,
And Kcncsaw, lifting its brazen head,
Poured death and destruction DER loyal dead.
Around Atlanta you futtered shred,
Where RfePhe fell with his soldier dead:
When Hood, like Texas blizzard - came
To grasp for his cause unexpected fame.
How o3ten you fell, how often you rose,
Like the morning sun over yanquished foes,
And held your way over mountain and lea
Until Sherman camped by the sounding sea!

Towards holy horror Of swearing or his pious
regard for the Sabbath day as shown In his very
interesting q "reminiscences, would like 70 ask
the old veterans what they think the result would
have been had all officers felt the same? Just

imagine they gotta volley Of red-hot oaths. any

Sunday-sehool work never could have done the

especial attention 70 Christian leaders during
the war and those who accomplished most paid
but little attention TO his holy the Sabbath

successfully carried on without violating some or
many OF the ten commandments.
Our correspondent is apparently victim
Of the absurd, though popular idea, that the
hardest swearers make the best fighters.
The facts are quite the other way. Ger
tainly our volunteers had no leader more
intrepid and determined than General How
ard, and SIS for General Sheridan, history
tells Us that 1t was his cool, confident and
resolute bearing, upon his arrival on the
field OF Cedar Creek, and not any display
Of clustering profanity, that revived the
spirits Of his troops and turned the rout into
8 victory. Nor is there anything in the
records Of other great conflicts to warrant
the inference which our correspondent is at
pains 10 draw. Surely, Cromwell was not
the less great leader of men because he
was prayerful and GOd-fearing, nor Wash
ington the less beloved because he knelt in
the snow at Valley Forge and besought the
favor Of the Almighty. The fact is, as
our correspondent must admit upon
reflection, that profanity, SO Ear from be-
ing sign Of bravery, is simply an in
dieation of Lack of selfeontrol on the
part Of the person who is addicted to it,
aud self-control is essential to good disci-
pine. 1t is perfectly true that some of the

THERE is way of dealing with news
papers that habituaIly abuse and misrepre-
sent cur ex-soldiers, which, if boldly pur-
sued by their soldier readers, will, in nearly
every case, prove effieacious. 1t is the way
adopted by one of our esteemed New Jersey
subscribers, who, having noticed in the col
umns Of his local paper the insinuation that
extensive frauds existed in the pension list,
forthwith called upon the editor in person,
and, presenting a true statement of the
facts as to the purity of the pension list,
demanded correction, which the editor,
being without any evidence to support his
misrepresentation, did not venture to with
hold. If every ex-soldier were as quick to
resent and refute, either in person or by
letter to the editor every SANDER which
appeared IN the columns of the secular
press, the latter would soon perceive the
necessity of bridling It's tongue. 1t is the
silence OF our veterans, when thus attacked,
that emboldens INSCRIPTIONS newspapers to
keep up their malicious assaults and reiter-
ate their baseless ISLANDERS.

THROUGH the exertions Of our Pennsyl-
vania comrades, as already noted in The
TRIBUNE, the State Legislature at its last
session was induced to extend the law pro-
viding for the support of soldiers orphans
schools until 1890, thereby insuri2g the
completion of the-noble work to which the
Commonwealth stood pledged. How far
reaching in its results this action is likely
to be may be seen from the statistics given
by the Chairman, of the committee on
soldiers orphans schools, in his report to
Post No. 2, Philadelphia, viz: Number of
pupils in school, May 81, 1883, 1862; appli-
cations on file, May 81, 1888, 790; number
educated in schools since their establish
ment, 1929. Since July last some thirty
nine children have been admitted to the
schools, which are reported to be in good
condition, desirable circumstance mainly
attributable to the experimenting care of
the Posts throughout the Department.

A CoafRADE writes us from Des Moines
Iowa, asking, in substance, three questions:
First, whether every member of the House
Committee On Invalid Pensions is an old
soldier; second, whetherit is true, as he has
seen stated, that nine members of the Com
mittee on Public Lands are in favor of for
feiting the railroad land grants; third, what
Speaker Carlisle's position with reference to
the iron-clad oath is. He would like an
answer without regard to its political sig
nifcance.
In reply it may be stated, as recorded in
last weeks TRIBUNE, that Messrs. Matson,
LIE Feyre, Fyan, Lowering, Houk, Holmes
and morrill, were soldiers in the late war on
the Union side. Wise is a well-known mi
litia officer in his native State. Winans,
Budd, Summer, Patten, Bagby, Ray and Gull
len do not appear TO have been in the war
ON either side
The Committee on Public Lands has no t
as yet, developed its attitude on the land
grant question, but it is understood that a
majority of the committee is in favor of re-
storing to the public domain such lands as
were not earned by the railroads by build
ing the lines within the time specified in
the law.
Speaker Carlisle took the iron-clad oath
because he did not aid, abet, or comfort "
the rebellion. He was in sympathy with
the South, however, during the war, though
he accepted the situation afterwards and
has been loyal to the Government since the
surrender of the Confederacy. He is re
eonstructed.n

A Strange OCCURRENCE.

Reports of a strange occurrence reach us
from the city of Brooklyn. 1t appears that
the Rev. Dr. L. 7. Chamberlain, pastor of the
Clason Avenue Presbyterian Church, on be-
ing requested by the widow and comrades
of Charles S. Treadwell-an ex-soldier, and
a member of G. Fl. Perry Post. No. e9-to
permit the funeral services to take place at
the church (of which he was member)
pre-emptorily declined, and consequently
they had to be held at the home of The de-
ceased, which was so contracted in size that
some two hundred comrades were compelled
to remain outside in the bitter cold It is
said, by way Of justification of the clergy
mans conduct, that the trustees had forbid
den the church to beopen for funerals without
their sanction-and we should be sorry, in
deed, to believe that any member of Chris
tian ministry would be guilty of such cruel,
unfeeling, and unchristian condnct-but that
seems TO us very lame excuse, and we trust

a hearty laugh, that bFoaght back reminder
Of mortal ills in the shape of his cough.
s#s
friend of General Grants told me this
morning that be feared the general had lost .
good deal of money in Northern Pacific Rail-
road stocks. Said he: " Grant was wrapped up
in his enthusiasm for the enterprise. the COM
pletIon of which he regarded As surprising in
national importance any great work Of this
generation He was intimately associated
with many gentlemen who are known Go have
lost heavily, among whom is his particular
friend, Gen. Horace Porter" and, remarked my
informant, . i shall be greatly surprised and
relieved to hear that the general has not sunk
what money be could command in a generous
effort to help Willard out Of his difficulties.

Uncle John Roach IS about to take issue
with Abram s Hewitt on che tariff question.
Said the old Shi pbUiider to me yesterday: Dir.
Hewitt says were il not for the tariff We
shoaId have no labor troubles. / agree
with him there for had re no tariff we
should have 10 labor st all, except in the
fields where cotton and corn are grown, and az
the wells where petroleum is produced We
would have no manufacturers Of eottons. WOOL
ems or iron, and all our labor would be driven
into the three avoeations have mentioned. /
snail probably go before committee of Con-
gress and show where Mr. HewisE is wrong in
his own business, that Of iron-inanuiacture,
which he should know most about I can
show where X he were given material-ore,
coal and limestOne-free, he would simply DO
giving to foreign labor about SI7 Oh } ton of
manufactured iron instead Of 70 our own pee
pie. The intrinsic value Of the thTee raw
materials for a ton Of iron is only about Sl50.
and all the rest Of its value is simply the labor
put upon it"
" Uncle Johns" views are simply given for
what they are worth, as it Is question where
the doctors disagree.
