To the Editor of the EAGLE
| The inclosed statement, which has
just come to my notice, is scissored
from one Of our local papers, reprint
ing, as you see from the Atchison
Champion. The latter part of the
statement, however, is what desire
to call your attention to,more particu-
ly that portion referring to the value
aud desirability of the Indian Terri
tory lands, and more especially what
demo minated as "Oklahoma. Your
opinion on the divine dispensation
part of the statement, we will not
trouble you for, though at the same time
il you know anything about the provi-
DENTAL will in such cases, you win con-
fer ns q favor by giving vent to your
SELF Facts, however, are what is
wanted in both instances. Hundreds
of our readers will be interested in
an exact statement. A Boomer"
The followingis the extract referred
to. While the editor of the EAGLE
cannot attempt to guess at the mercy
Of God in removing from earth man
who had deluded SO many innocent
people, we have nevertheless no hest
fancy in saying that outside Of the
Cbenokee, Creek, Chickisaw and 9TH
err reservations no portion of the In
dian Territory that we ever saw will
compare with, say Kingman county.
as an agricultural country. The ex-
tract from the Champion reads:
ut is a fraud to claim that tins
country looks like Kansas did thirty
years ago. Kansas is and was
queen, seated on the throne of her
glorious destiny. This country is the
natural home of the coyote end herds
man, hardly good enough for the In
diaus. The Oklahoma country is as
false as the mirage of Sahara, and il
is probable that God, in His infinite
mercy, called the Christian Payne to
glory, to prevent him from Turing tbe
poor deluded Kansan 10 his doom" -

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
DEAR SIR:-As there has been consider
able said about the illegal receiving of fines,
know what becomes of the amounts paid to
the city officials? They only report little
over $4,000 as received the past year. Now
there ave been from forty to fifty saloons
most of the time and taking one-half of them
as paying $50 90 per month, 1.-THE charge to
all being alike the saloons paid alone S1S,-
600, being more than all fines accounted for.
Then there is the gamblers licenses, amount
ing to about $4,000 more, and the soiled
dove licenses amounting to $4,000 or $1,000
more, and the general fines for breaches of
the pea ce, DRINKS and violating city ordi-
names, making about $1,000, or sum of
S35,6OO, over 1000 more than reported in
their annual report. Who pockets the sur
plus Have they sinking fund that alb
serbs the balances Please ascertain and let
your many readers know where the odd
thousands go to and what good the people
get out of the money. Yours truly,
ENQUIRER.
Wethink probably that the Enquirer" has
the most of his estimates too high but moth
ing that the EAGLE can say would bring
any information from the present city ad-
ministration. The EAGLE last fall told
them almost daily of crooksdness but they
ignored the facts. 1t called upon them to
clear the town Of thieves and thugs, but not
until vigilance committee Of business men
was organized was anything done. Business
men have been ruined by gambling houses
and the EAGLE protest against such dirilec-
ton of sworn duty has been met with
proposition to officially denounce it as a
"liar." Let Enquirer and all Others who
think the EAGLE has only told the simple
truth, that it was only looking to the best
interests of the people, remember election
day next spring and when the time comes,

Columbia to SDring Hill.

To THE EDITOR: While some of the com
rades are settling the question of who were
rear-guards from Spring Hill to Franklin, !
should like to know if any other troops were
in our rear and came into Spring Hill after we
did the night we evacuated the north side OF
the river opposite Columbia. Nov. % our regi-
ment (S6th Ind.) was on picket along the north
side of Duck River. Late in the evening
quite dark-our pickets were withdrawn and
we brought up what l supposed was the rear,
for we crossed small stream, shortly after leav-
ing the picket-line mentioned above the bridge
across it having been fired before we reached
it. Still farther ON an Orderly, OF staff officer,
come riding back to our regiment and told our
Colonel Geo. +. Dick) to "skeep the men as quiet
as possible; for" lie said, "a short distance
ahead corps of rebels are camped IN plain
view a short distance from the road" Of
course the boys thought that was all taffy,'
and, it seemed, made more noise than usual.
After marching mile or two farther we came
in sight of campfres parallel with the road,
and we could see men moving about very dis
tinctly, but we did not believe they were the
rebels until we came to q picket of our men
across the road, and we asked "Boys, what
corps is that comped up there?" They replied
they did not know, but that the Second Di-
vision, Fourth Corps, had been fighting them
that day to keep them out of Spring Hill and
to save our wagon train, which arrived about
IL o'clock at night, occupying about all the
available space in and around that town. Be-
fore reaching the picket across the road some
of our boys, tired Of marching, said they were
going to camp, and started for the above-men-
toned campfires, and not only camped, but got
lodging in "Jeff's" boarding house. They
afterwards escaped and reported to their COM
panies.-I. M. ADAIR, Sergeant-Major Seth

as Compound OXYGEN manufactured and sold
by Drs Starkey & palen, of Philadelphia. He
speaks from personal knowledge, having
sought relief from fierr0us prostratjOn for num-
Der years by the methods ordinarily employed
Temporary relief was sometimes obtained, but
nothing permanent ws effected until he toas induced
to try Compound Orygen.' =, The relief afforded by
this remedy acaS unconscious and ebectaai Ia its

He Produces the Record in Favor of the 18th Iowa.

To THE EDITOR: have n little informa-
ticn for the benefit of Comrade W. NJ. Prouty,
of Co. b, 31st Iowa, and COmrade A. r. Hughes,
Of Co. B, 18th Iowa. Comrade Prouty calls
on Comrade Hughes for record evidence
that the colors of the grand old 18th were the
first on the State House of Columbia, S. G..
The record evidence of that fact will be found
in the reports of the Adjutant- General of Hi
nois, Vol. 1, page $685. Speaking of the Fourth
Division, Seventeenth Corps, he says: "On the
10th, the division arrived on the south bank of
the Congaree River opposite Columbia, S. c.,
and our batteries commenced Smelling the en-
envy, who were still in the city. During the
night they evacuated the place. and in the
morning two companies of the 18th Iowa and
Co c, of the 32d Ill., crossed the river on flats,
with the colors Of each regiment. The flag of
the 18th Iowa was placed on the State House
and that of the 32d III. on the City Hail. by
Adjutant +. Y Hedley." Here is the record
evidence which Comrade Prouty so heedlessly
calls for Adjutant-G Generals reports are con-
sidered good records, and while they may not
be exactly perfect, are generally nearly so.-R.

A Brave VermOnter.

To THE EDITOR: On the 18th of September,
1862, as the front line of Summers Second Corps
engaged the enemy at Antietam, a tall young
soldier came up to me while was acting as left
guide of Germans Brigade, and said Sergeant,
l am lost from my regiment" Il think he said
a Vermont regiment, though not certain) "but,
fyOu will let me- would like to stand right
here, where can fight as well as anywhere" He
took his place alongside the short men of my
company, and dropping on one knee to fire.
would jump to his feet and yell like loon as
he reloaded his Springfield. The contrast be-
tween Linn and my own comrades was more
noticeable. from the fact that we were armed
with Sharp's rifles, and loaded while kneeling,
or otherwise hugging the ground mighty close.
1t was very hot place for a little while, and
many of our boys were wounded and killed.
Being wounded myself lost sight of him. and
often wondered what became of the brave young
man who sought a fight when most men would
have kept out of the way; and two years ago
when i revisited the scene of battle his manly
act was brought more distinctly to mind. If
he survived that day and the war, and yet
lives, should be glad to hear from him.-A. J.
