TO THE EDITOR: We have Il fine Post of the 6.
a. .R. here, named T. J. Stanley, and Relief Corps
consisting of - members Of which am one. Am
taking Tue NATIONAL TRiBUNE and think a great
deal of it. especially medium OF exchange be-
tween the veterans and jheir families. With this
send a brief account of Chas n Scholield as re-
lated me by himself, which may nc the means of
letting the friends of Louis German, OF
Indiana regiment know what became
of him SchojieId enlisted in the 18th Ohio,
and was in Gen. Crook : Division of the Army OF
West Virginia. At the time of his capture he was
Sergeant, doing detached duty one of Blazers
Scouts-an organization TO rid the country of bush
whackcrs, and which well armed. equipped
ami mounted. On the raid TO Lynchburg they
were captured the second day out and sent to
Stauu;oii where SchofeId yr1s mt in iaiI tn he
held ~ q hostage. The rebels being compelled to
retreat, took the prisoners along, and during the
march changed clothing the hostages were not
recognized again. They Were held q few days in
Iynchburg, then sent to Anderscnville, arriving
there June -, nearly starved rain pouring down
in torrents. With 5000 men there. scarcely room
to sit down the ground, they never got anything
to eat till next day at noon. and never had good
drink OF water until Providence spring burst in
August. In September Schoiicid's health failed
go that when he down ne could not get up
without help. He sent from there to Macon,
from Macon with 30 Others to- Savannah, where he
stayed 81 month"; then back to Miilen, where sick
ones were to be- exchanged. He was examined and
sent back being informed there Others scker
than he was. lie told them OF one Louis German,
Of an Indiana regiment, who very sick, and
whom they accepted. The boys carried him over
and laid him down by the gate but he died before
morning. SSchoteld answered 20 his dead COM
rade's name when called and with several others
was paroled This, after several months of untold
|
those terrible prison pens in Georgia. 1t Is proba
BILE the body of Louis German lies in an unknown
grave, while bis name IS recorded In the list of
those paroed, and no record at all OF Scho-
fields escape. He often wonders if Cor
mans friends ever knew what became of him.
Hoping this may meet the eyes of some of them,
have written this SchoieId never entirely recov-
cred his health but is at present an attendant in
Athens Asylum, Athens Co, Ohio.

WORK DID NOT CEASE WITH THE WAR.
The Chicago C0mratIe well says:
We often meet women who ignOTantly claim that
there is necessity existing for spec charitable
work III behalf OF soldiers or their families but in
vestgGtiOn would soon convince them that the
suieringS and pTyations caused by the rebellion did
not cease on the battlefield. In times OF peace as
well in times of war comes 70 the adInoni-
ton: " Withhold not good from them TO whom il
is due, when it is in the power of thine hand and
heart TO do it." The earnestne5S which character
ICES the work OF the Woman's Relief Corps indi-
that this is the spirit that pervadcs the entire
membership of the Order. Sincerity iii the work
harmony i'll its management, and loyalty to every
will of the Grand Army OF the Republic, nave won
for the Corps everywhere the hearty Endorsements
of the Posts to which they are auxiliary without
whose approval the pcFmanCnce OF the Order could
never be established. May their dealings with
each other ever be tempered by love and equity,
and the efforts the members accomplish be such,
that when the final record is written, it shall be
sealed with the golden zeal of victory.
