An Unpleasant Steamboat Excursion.

To THE EDITOR: Not having seen anything
in your valuable paper from any of the MEM
bers of the reg giment of which l was member
during the first three years Of the late Onpleas-
antness," l thought / would start in, and, per-
haps, others might follow. | am not going to
relate, at this time any of those experiences
where our regiment alone and single handed
cleaned out whole brigades and divisions, and
saved the Union forces from utter defeat and
annihilatiOn; but simply an incident which
happened to us when we were as powerless as
infants to help ourselves We left Baltimore
the 22d of February, 1862 and went direct to
Newport News. We. remained there until
March !. when our regiment and the 21st Ind.
and 4th Wis. embarked on the steamship Con-
stitution, bound for Ship Island, Miss, the rem
devious Of Gen. Butler's Gulf Division. After
everything was in readiness we cast loose from
the pier and started for Fortress Monroe. In
consequence of the depth of draft of the vessel
We had to run the greater portion of the way
right in splendid range of all the rebel batter
les on Sewells Points tland they were stuck in
pretty thick, too in broad daylight; of course
they opened ouG on us in good shape. And
right here | want to remark that l was scared
l don't know how it was with the rest, but
some way or other my cap fitted uncomfort-
ably loose just about then. AS soon as the
firing commenced / conceived the idea that
the safest place was on the hurricane-deck and
Immediately acted on my convictions. And
soon found out that had the best seat in the
whole circus. Shell of all sizes and from all
kinds of guns just rained around the vessel and
passed over in very uncomfortable nearness;
yet strange to say, that never a shot or frag-
ment of she'll struck the vessel. Had one of
those large projectiles passed through the YES
sell the loss of life would have been frightful,
as We were packed in just as close as it was
possible to stow US away. ! drew very long
breath of relief as soon as we were out of range
and the firing ccased.-GEoRGE A. WELTON,

Gen. Rnale.

To THE EDITOR: am sorry that what
wrote concerning Gen. Reale's connection with
the 1st, 10th and Goth Me. has stirred up Com
rade Haley this hot weather / simply wrote
to correct statement made ascribing Gen
Beale to the 18th Me-, and said that did not
want the 18th to get the credit of ever hav-
ing had him in their regiment" And because
l object to his being credited to regiment
that he never belonged to, Comrade Haley says
there is spleen in it," l made no attack on
the 18th Me, have no spleen to vent against
them or any other regiment, desire no honor
that they gained under Roberts, or Mattocks
or West. Am content with the record made
by the triple-headed organzation-the 1st
10th and Goth Me,-and, though we did no
fighting under the gallant and superb Han
cock" (who, by the way, was in the Shenan-
doah Valley when Lee surrcndercd) we saw
service under as good Generals as he, and will
let the record speak for u.s. Gen. Beale is no
phenomenon" but was a Colonel that every
man knew he could "tie to-" and has a record
of which any soldier might be proud.-H. A.

Can Bright's Disease BE Cnredl

Mr.. Geo. w. Edwards is we'll known Phila
delphian, now in middle life. His father was
one of the most public spirited men of the
Quaker City, and did much to improve the
place by the erection of a number of hotels and
other costly edfces. Mr.. Edwards, ST., died
about twenty years ago of Bright's Disease and
so did his wife The present Mr.. Edwards thus
inherited the disease and at an early period in
his life became a confirmed invalid, with but
little hope of recovery.
gentleman connected with the press. who
was threatened with the same disease and had
heard of Mr.. Edwards's recovery, recently called
upon him and gives the following account of
his interview. To the question if he had really
been as great sufferer as represented, Mr..
Edwards replied:
Yes had Bright's Disease. My father
and mother died with it. So did two of my
brothers. 1t came on me slowly. l passed
much albumen and many epithelial scasts,
which are the sure indications of the disease.

The Captured Cannon at NolinsyilIe Gan.

To THE EDITOR: In several copies of your
valuable paper | have read about the capture OF
the cannon at Nolinsville Gap, Dec. 26 1862
the 21st Ill. and 10lst Ohio each claiming the
honor. The comrades making these claims for
their respective commands are little in error
The 10th Wis. made the charge on the battery
directly in front, the 21st ILL., being on the right
and the 1Olst Ohio on the left. Col. Hegg and
Lieut.-Col. Mickey, of the 18th Wis, were the
first at the cannon, Col. Hegg planting the flag
thereon. Col. Alexander. of the 2lst ILL.,, was
the next at the captured gun The honor OF
capturing the cannon was at that time conceded
to the 10Th Wis. 1t is little late, after lapse
of over 20 years, to try to wrest the honor from
those to whom by right it belongs-A A.

The Iron Brigade

To THE EDITOR: Being d constant reader of
your valuable paper, and hearing so much of
this Iron Brigade" 1 feel it my duty to have a
little to say, as we fought side by side for over
three years with it. / agree with comrade
Royce Kelley, of Hartford, Mich, and John
Furse, Co. /, I'd Wis, Lockport, N Y, that it
was composed of the I'd, 9th and 7th Wis, 18th
Ind. and gath Mich, and belonged to the First
Brigade, First Division, First Corps. In your
paper of Aug. q. 1885, s. L. Chandler, Co. E,
Gath N. Y, states that the Iron Brigade was
composed OF the 14th Brooklyn, 22d, 9th and
Both n. Y. The l4th Brooklyn was in our Sec
ond Brigade, First Division, First Corps, and
remained with us until discharged. He also
states that the 9TH Ind. was not in the First
Corps. They were put in our brigade in the
Fall of 1862, and fought with us at Fredercks-
burg, Gettysburg, and several other places of
less importance; and as to the Berdan Sharp
shooters, always thought they belonged moro
to the division than to either of the brigades.

A special from Lewes, Del, to the
Phila. Press on Tuesday says: On
Friday the Delaware steamer SamueI
Allen was fishing off The ceast of Jer-
say, near It so-mile Beach, about three
miles from Cape May, when suddenly a
number of men appeared OH The jersey
shore and began firing with reyolverS
at the fishermen. The weapons were
not strong enough, aud shot guns were
brought into play. These did not have
the desired effect. The ~Jerseymen
next brought out rifles, and sent vol
ley after volley in pursuit of the fisher
men. who had taken in tkeir boats and
nets and were leaving the coast,
The riHeballs struck the steamer in
many places, and the men sought pro-
lection behind the masts and smoke
stack. No one was injured, though
there we're several narrow escapes.
The owners of the steamer and the
fish factories have sent for riff s and

THE OLDEST DEMOCRAT,

In the grove surrounding the Meth
odiSt church at Willow Grove, Salem
Co., y. j., on last Saturday the num-
erous fam " connections of the famous
Michael Potter, the Cumberland coun-
tY ~centenariau, celebrated his 10lst.
birthday. The event was not alone a
family affair, but it was ml,le general
by the attendance Of over 1900 people
from the surrounding country. Tie
old gentlemen bore his centennial hon
ors meekly aud a the recipient OF
numer Gus presents. His health has
failed greatly during the past year.
During the winter he fell from chair
and his life was disrared of, but he has
recovered from the miShap. With the
exception of a slight deafness he is IN
possession of his faculties. lie has lost
to certain extent, the use of HE legs.
Mr.. Potter is undoubtedly the Oldest
Democrat now living, and boasts that
iie'nettr split his ticket but on one &C
casion, when he voted for Mr.. Nixon
Of Bridgeton, for Congress. A feature
of the celebration vas the receipt of a
letter from Presiden. Cleveland us fo,-

EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington
July 8, 1SS5-Il. V. Camm, ESq.-Dear
Sir: | cannot resist the temptation TO
comply with the request contained in
your letter of the eth inst and tender
through you to Mr.. Potter my congra-
tulationS upon his attaining the age OF
l01 years. l am sure that he can jus.
thy claim to be the oldest Democrat
extant. The fact that lherenee to
the principals and faith of that party
has lot. in Mr.. Potter's case, been
inconsistent witt, wonderful longevity,
ought, l think, TO assure those of our
fellow-citizeils who believe If their
professions are ieliable) that American
institutions are in danger from Demo
cratic supremacy.
1t is fitting and proper that the
neigLbors of this aged man should ON
the anniversary of kis birth cordially
demonstrate their esteem and venera-
ton for one who lived before the Con-
stitutIon and who has seen the growth
and progress of the country from the
beginning. But in The midst of their
cengratulation they may wei renew
their pledge OF devotion to the cause f
American freedom ard tie perpetuity
of cur government under the Constitu-
tion, with gratitude to God who has
thus far preserved our national life,
and with devout acknowledgement of
the power of Him who holds our des-
tiny in the hallow of His hand. Yours

Reader, you think you know
what crinkled seersuckers are.
Do you? Drop a line for
samples and give us some no.
ton as to the colors you like.
Seersuckers! Nothin is more
in favor for hot-weather dress
among ladies of taste; and the
treble reason is they are pretty
and cool-they cost not much
to begin with-they are easily
washed-they arc 'ironed'' by
letting them hang in the wind
and sun-they are cooler than
anything smooth-the crinkles
are pretty as well as cool-the
roughness is part of the beauty.
In short they are pretty, cool
and inexpensive. We might
have added a ourth-they are
tough-as George Eliot says,
stout enough to last a life
time" These are reasons
enough.
Now, lady, doyouknowwhat
these crinkles are:o Let us i'm
agine you don't. We are talk
ing to you who don't. You
have a night-gown-yoke of puff
ing insertion--a stripe o fsmooth
and a stripe of rough. That's
crinkled seersucker. You have
seen a rainbow after a summer
shower, the sun behind you.
That's crinkled seersucker-its
air is like the refreshing air Of
seersucker. You have seen the
canary shaking his feathers
after his bath, each feather on
end, the penetrating between
that's crinkled seersucker.
It's very odd; but almost all
the seersuckcrs, almost all, are
here. They're very scarce.
What is odder yet, they are
cheap. What is oldest of all
they are better than ever be-
fore, and prettier, airier.
A secrsucker dress or two
why, do you know, one seer
sucker isn't like another seer
sucker. There's such variety
in seersuckers. Take a two
color scersucker, cream and
ecre for instance, a puff and a
ribbon, and so on all over.
Take a thrce-color seersucker,
pink-and-ecrc-and-blue for in
stancc-there's your rainbow.
Are they not in refreshing con-
trast?
IS and.25 cents a yard; the
ascent seersuckers have a bit
oflace between putting and col
or. The I8-cent resembles the
original India seersucker. The
25-eenti is entirely modern. We
have a hundred styles of both.
