following day the committee of 80, representa-
tives of the 10Th Ohio, headed by Adjt-Gen E.
B. Finley, of Columbus, visited all parts of the
battlefield with Col. Bachelor, Superintendent
of Tablets, and located positions with the view
of erecting monument. In the afternoon the
106th Pa dedicated a fully-inscribed granite
shaft. Gen. A. S. Webb, of New York, conf
mander of the brigade, delivered the Grafton.
Gen. James C. Lynch, of Philadelphia, turned
the monument over to the Battlefield Memorial
Association. 1t was received by Past Depart
ment Commander J. M. Vanderslice of Phila-
delphia, on the part of the association. Exer-
cises were held in the large tent at the camp.
On account of the rain there was no dress pa
rade. There were fireworks later in the even
ing, and a concert at the Springs Hotel by
members of the Peabody Institute Orchestra,
followed by grand ball. At o'clock Friday

Had Become Deaf and Dumb.

To THE EDITOR: Some three days after tho
battle of Antietam. while making my way with
a comrade, both wounded, from to
BoonesbOro, as we rested by the way, tall and
slender man, with nothing on him In the way
of clothing but shirt and pair of drawers,
marched rapidly along towards Boonesboro, in
the middle of the dusty turnpike, looking
neither to the right or left; not even cap was
on his head in the broiling sun, nor shoes on
his feet. My cOmrade and myself being loaded
with our knaPsacks, and l carrying my Shsrp's
rifle the stranger seemed in extremely light
marching order as / remarked at the time.
When we reached the stone church at Boones-
boro used as hospital, we found this man Sit
ting in the sun, while other sick and wounded
sought the shade. The good ladies had tied a
wet towel on his bare head, and we soon learned
that this man was q soldier, who, in some way,
had entirely lost both his speech and hearing,
and seemed somewhat dazed and crazed; but
not mark of a wound upon him. The gen.
eral opinion was that some conclusion of bat
tle-perhaps a bursting shell-had rendered
him deaf and possibly affected his speech. He
had escaped from the field and the hospitals at
the front, and could give no account of him.
SELF During the day l wrote on q card asking
his name and regiment, and in reply he gave
ME rare literary curiosity, which lost, to my
sincere regret. In neat and closely-written
hand he filled the back of the card, embodying
the information l asked, and, strange to relate,
every word in the form of a prayer to God
NV recollection is that he belonged TO Co. i,
18th or 10th Conn. He continued to act very
strange for the day or two that i saw him. II
any reader of this knows of his case and what
became of him, should be glad to hear.-As

The Sons Of Veterans.

To THE EDITOR: read an article in THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, of July 49, from Harry
g. Clark, of Dorchester, Neb., headed /" Let Us
Stand Alone" and saying that the GAR
had sat down upon them the second time and
would not recognize them. Now, l do not
know that I am right, but as l am one of the
CARS, / am glad to see the pluck manifested
by the writer of that article in his endeavor to
by all means perpetuate the Order of the Sons of
Veterans. Yet l believe that every organiza-
ton of the kind ought to be supported by all
legitimate means. My reasons for it are that
these old veterans will soon be a great deal
fewer than now in numbers, and when our
strength will be nearly nothing politically as
well as physically, and we will hardly be no.
ticed as regards our rights rs a part of the
Nations composition in our halls of legislation,
then we shall need our sons TO say, Mr..
Congressman, it is your duty to support
every right measure to benefit the remaining
veterans, or off comes your head; for we are
going to vote for men who have some regard
for the rights of our fathers, some of whom
have fought, bled and died to make you what
YOU are politically as well as educationally."
Now, boys you shall always have my willing
and hearty Endorsement throughout while
live and have my right mind, and wish to
saw to all the old veterans Do not be so selfish,
and when we are in extreme need, as a few years
in the future may bring about, then the boys
will not forget us.-D. Cook, John Ball Post,

ciOus Attacks on Him.
To THE EDITOR: Having read the studied
attacks of Washington correspondent in a
New York daily upon the character of Gen.
John c. Black. Commissioner of Pensions, and
believing that more gifted person should de-
fend this brave comrade and most efficient Otfi-
cial, l was gratified to see in the New York
World of this morning the reply which Gen.
Black makes to his unknown accuser. As
never meet fully disabled cOmrade upon the
streets without Involuntary dofing my hat, l
realize what it is to feel the CULVER of the lip,
the choking feeling in the throat, and the
moistened eye when we hear from these glori-
Gus mems lips how fields were wOn." Is it
because the General may vote different ticket
from us that we should condemn him to ever
lasting punishment?
l had the honor to hear his eloquent speech
in the National Encampment at Portland
Among the many inspired addresses listened to
in that convention of born orators" as Gen.
Logan expressed it, none carried more convic-
ton than the fraternai remarks uttered by Gen.
Black. Notsince the close of the war have the
cherished friend or so considerable an official
in the Pension Office as Commissioner Black.
He may have been an offensive partisan" but
he earned the right to express his views cen
at the lannon's mouth" THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has heartily commended his work in
the Pension Office. Hundreds in these two
cities can testify to his fidelity to their inter-
ests, who are daily receiving the pensions SO
unjustly withheld for SO many years.-T. B.,

No Medals for Him.

To THE EDITOR: The old soldiers of this
community commend your structures on the
question of a medal to be worn by soldiers and
sailors of the late war. The best and highest
honor that can be bestowed on soldiers is the one
we bought at such sacrifice in the field OF
confict-namely, the parchment certifying to
our honorable SERVICE without which none is
entitled to enter the portals Of the GAR
These medals cannot be bought. The pieces OF
silver designated as medals could be worn by
many inscriptions and undeserving; but
when you take hold of hand on whose breast
the badge of the GAR. rests, you know you
meet comrade and friend. We are also more
than rejoiced to know that we are to have some
pen pictures from the hand and heart of oul
old commander, Gen. John A. Logan, than
whom there are none better qualified to write
us up.-H. COFFEEN, LIST Iowa Ind'pt Co. l.. A..
