ENGLISH MORALS.

There can be no doubt that in
toxication is far less common among
the middle and upper classes of
England than it was in our grand
fathers or fathers times. One sees
this in many ways. Thirty years
ago people sat over their wine after
dinner for an hour at least, and
drank five or six glasses of port.
Now they sit, unless some interest
ing subject of talk turns up, only
twenty minutes, and drink two or
three glasses at most. 1t is true
that more is drunk at dinner, but it
is less trying to the head then. The
number of those who drink nothing
is large, and increases daily, partly
because many physicians prescribe
abstinence, partly from philanthropic
motives and the desire to set good
example to the poor. On the stage,
in comic papers, and in after-dinner
speeches, it is still a conventional
joke to assume that people get drunk
in good society; but in reality the
phenomenon is rare. A few weeks
ago 1 heard a man Of fifty, who had
moved great deal in the best cir
Giles of London and of university
city, declare that he had never but
twice in his life seen gentleman
the worse for liquor; and several
persons among the party present de-
clared their experience to be similar.
Others could not say quite so much,
yet all agreed that, considering how
common intoxication is among GER
tain classes, and used to be among
all classes, 1t had become surprising
ly rare in their own rank. This
does not mean that there are not
still many people who injure their
health and character by the too fire.
quent resort to stimulants, for one
hears many lamentations over the
practice of taking "nips" and
"pick-me-ups" through the day; a
practice alleged to prevail among
ladies of fashion as we'll as young
men in the city. L speak only Of
intoxication, which has become a
mark of gross ill-breeding in the
society of ladies', and is condemned
as "bad FORM even in party of
men.
1t is more difficult to express an
opinion as to the standard Of morali-
ty in matters which regard the re-
lations Of the two sexes. England
used to plume itself on being q
specially well-conducted country in
this respect; but the large use made
of the divorce courts, established for
the first time in 1857, showed that ir-
Irregularities were commoner than
people had liked to believe. Divorce
can be obtained only on the ground
of conjugal infidelity, accompanied,
if the charge is made against the
husband, by cruelty. The number
of divorces does not appear to in
crease faster than the growth OF
population, SO that we have nc
special uneasiness on this score since
the first two or three years of the
Courts working. There seems nc
ground for assuming any decline il
the morality of the middle classes
or of what may be called the non
fashionable section of the upper
class. Much, however, is said abou
the fashionable section, which al
though small in numbers is inhuen
tial from the wealth and rank o
those who compose it, and attract
public notice to degree even beyon'
its political influence. People sa,
that not only are irregularities in
crcasingly frequent, but that ther
is less decorum in manners, less re

The Charge at Jackson, Miss.

To TEE EDITOR: ] notice a communication
in the last issue of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
from Comrade A S. Sampson, 33d Wis, of Edo
rado Springs, Mo-, in which he gives an
account of the charge made at Jackson, Miss,
on the 18th of July, 1868, by the Third Brigade
of the Fourth Division of the Seventeenth
Corps or what was known at the time as Lau-
mans Division, and in which he says speaking
of the loss Of the SD Ill. colors) that of the
four regiments that went into that charge "but
one of them brought their colors off the field"
He does not say so, but / suppose the lucky
regiment was the 33d Wis.
Now, do not want to accuse the comrade of
falsehood nor do / intend to, but must say
that the cOmTade is most fearfully mistaken
AS was there and member of the 2Sth ILL.,,
know that that regiment brought off its colors; ;
and not only from that field but from every
other field, from Belmont, Mo-, to Mobile, Ala.
And if there was regiment in that charge but
the SD III. that did not bring its coors off the
field do not know what one it was. If rec
ollect Alright the brigade that made that charge
was composed of the following regiments: 41st,
32d and SD Ill, Sd Iowa. 33d Wis. and the
28th ILL.,, and, as the comrade says, was COM
manded by Col. Isaac Peugh, of the 41st H., an
old Mexican soldier" Old Pap Peugh," as the
boys used to call him; and better soldier was
not in the army. And wish to say right here
that it is no disgrace to the gallant old SD Ill.
that she lost her colors in that fatal affair." for
her color guard was shot down to a man, and
that within very short distance Of the ene-
my's works.-VETERAN, Co. B, 2sth ILL.,, Chilli

The 18th Conn. Mt Gettysburg.

To THE EDITOR: Will you please say that
Comrade S. II. Aldrich is little off in his COM
municaton to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE OF
Nov when he says: "On the Cd of July the
gallant Gen. Hays rallied portion of his com
mand and captured sharpshooters behind barn
and house and fired the buildings" etc.
Now, Mr.. Editor, was there and was at the
Bliss barn late at night of July 2, and it was
standing, nor had it been fred at all. Comrades
of the 18th n. ]. remember well charge that
they made on those same Bliss buildings late in
the day of July g. and We of the 14th Conn.
remember we'll that same charge and how the
12th brought in the Johnnies as prisoners from
the barn and house. And the writer remem-
bers well how very young and slender boy of
the 10Th n J. came into our lines ION east of
cemetery after nearly all the rest of the men
engaged in that charge had returned bringing
with him two tall and large rebels both cap
tured by him as prisoners, and how the men of
the line cheered him as he marched his prison
ers to the rear. We of the 14th Conn. and our
comrades of the 18th N. ]. know that those
buildings were not fired on that I'd of July. 1t
was reserved for eight companies of the 14th
Conn, on July 3, 1868, to charge, take and then
burn those same Bliss buildings under a very
heavy fire from the re-enforced rebel skirmish-
line and some of the batteries on Seminary
Ridge, and we will not allow anyone else to
say or claim that it was done by other than the
i4tn COhn. IL mas Deen proved 10 the satlsIac-
ton of all concerned that our regiment had
the honor of all it claims, at that time at least.
We have record we are not ashamed of all
through. We left the State with LOIS men,
and took part in all the awful fighting of the
grand old Second Corps until Lee surrendered
to our great Grant at Appomattox. We lost in
killed and died in the service 800 men. l do
not wish to take any honor from any other
regiment that belongs to it. 1t was and is
honor enough to say fought in the Second
Corps All may well be proud of that. w.

are few cases of rheumatism here which, like

The 9th Conn. Did Not Surrender.

To THE EDITOR: In his article on Morris
Island, published in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
of Oct. %. Carleton says that the 9th Conn.
surrendered at Fort Wagner That is not true.
The 9th Conn. did not surrender at Fort Wag-
ner or at any other place. 1t repulsed the
rebels when they attempted to drive it from
the fort, and held its position until near mid
night, when, seeing no prospect of support. the
few who were left, with some remnants of other
regiments, left the fort and ran back down the
beach to the Union lines. AS soon as we had
left the fort the rebels opened upon US again
with musketry and canister, and many brave
man was killed or wounded on that retreat. A
few were taken prisoners but their number
was very small compared with the loss from
other causes "Carleton's" whole article is
full of errors so much so that l have been
tempted to doubt the accuracy of his whole his

Louisiana Union Soldiers.

To THE EDITOR: During the late war, as c.
r. Cox, 1st Nd, says, it cost something to be g
Union man in the South. Louisiana furnished
several thousand good fighting soldiers, besides
filling up Northern regiments located at New
Orleans in '62. These were enlisted for three
years-two infantry and two cavalry regi-
ments, white. The 1st La was commanded by
Col. r. L. Holcomb, of Connecticut who was
killed at Port Hudson while in command of a
brigade and leading the same on that eventful
charge, afterward commanded by w. o. Fiske
of Massachusetts,. The I'd La. was commanded
by Col. Charles J. Paine, of Massachusetts,
