The Result of Going to a Wedding Without an
Invitation.


To THE EDITOR: was seaman on the
United States steamer Ozark After the Red
River expedition we came out on the Missis-
sippi and were stationed at Tunica Bend, La.
Oct. Is, 1864, colored man came on board our
vessel and told our commander, Capt Brown,
that there was going to be a wedding that
night about two miles of, and that Col. Scott's
scouts would be there, and it would be a good
time to capture them. So the port watch was
called on deck just as it was getting dark and
ordered ashore in the cutter. We made land
ing opposite the vessel and started for the we'd
ding feast, with our second officer in command
We got along all right until we had gone about
two miles, when We were ordered to halt,
think, by our own officer. A minute later we
heard "hoot! hoot!" right behind us; then
the same hOoting in front of us, much like the
sound large owls make4 I knew at the time
that it was no owl, but signal from one
Johnny to another. :
The shotguns, muskets and pistols began to
"hoot," and then our officer began to hoot +"
that he would surrender l did not like the
idea of surrendering, without seeing an enemy
to ask it, SO / made a jump for the cane
brake, which was on both sides of the road, and
lit in ditch about three feet deep. While
scrambling UP the side of it was struck on the
ankle with a small bali, but reached the cane
and ran Oh to three of our boys that had got
there ahead of me. We thought we would 20
and the next day till 3 o'clock before we got out
of the cane, and then we came out on the wrong
side, where we met squad of the same fellows
that we were going to capture at the wedding.
There were too many Of them for us four, SO
they took us in." This was the result of my

LanCes In the Rebel Army.

To THE EDITOR: notice that several COM
rades are interested in the matter of Southern
lances during our late misunderstanding, and
to the various points presented on this obscure
question l wish to add the fact that in 1862,
while on the march through Kentucky, saw
numbers of these lances. They were made in
good style-a blade about 10 inches long, with a
lateral hook securely fastened in the end of q
staff about theSength of rake handle. 1 know
nothing as to their having ever been used. but
the information then received was that they
were lance pixies, designed for close combat,
especially in defense of works. in which both
lance and hook would be available, and could
be effectively used by those unfamiliar with
firearms. / know that they were made saw
hundreds, and had specimens in my possession,
which am now sorry could not keep as evil
dence of the desperation of the struggle.-J. It.

Kate Howe Again.

To THE EDITOR: Your issue of the 5th inst.
came duly to hand, laden, as usual, with the
rations the old soldiers enjoy so much while
marching to their final camping ground. Your
efficient, persistent and unconditional sur
render" championship Of the rights of the
men who saved the Nation has endeared The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE to all patriotic hearts.
Long may it continue its noble mission-a
present good and future blessing. From
threatenings heard in this locality after your
issue of Oct. 10, which contained an article
headed Kate Homer Clayton Raymond W.
Howe" copied from the Porcapine of Los An
geles, Cal, did not know but that you would
be Shut up in the guard-house and my paper
stopped; hence, the above reflections. You
know we do not always fully appreciate bless
ing until it is about to be taken from u.s. or has
left us altogether. l am pleased to have evil
dence that you are still in the flesh and Wig
orous.
The redoubtable Kate referred to made this
town few weeks ago. and when her attention
was called to said article, she said she would
Immediately prosecute you for SANDER and
short time after that, l am informed, she said
she had letter from you, in which you said
the article spoken of was published or got into
your paper during your absence, and you deeply
regretted its insertion. But 10 ! when your paper
of the 29th ult. made its appearance its columns
contained Another Tribute to Kate Howe"
and it did not read like an apology, which leads
me to believe that Mrs. Howe must be Just
little mistaken about her letter of apology from
you, and possibly little off" on her claims
of three years service in the army and her
numerous wounds and deeds Of heroism; else
you, as we'll as others, unwittingly or from
malice aforethought" have done her great
injustice
Which is it? The Grand Army boys and all
old soldiers want to know the truth. The gal
liant lady's performances here were similar to
those mentioned by Comrade Arthur Galpin in
his " Tribute to Kate Howe" She displayed
some elOcutionary skill in her sermon on the
" "Prodigal Son." financial ability in takingup
collection, and tact in advertising her enter
tainment from the pulpit.
In addition to her claims, as before given
through your columns she claimed here that
she was q graduate. of a college III Boston, a re-
fined and educated lady-a noble woman that
everybody knew she was the identical person
who carried President Lincoln's reprieve for
the Vermont soldier Benny who was sem
fenced to be shot for sleeping OH his post, and
that she had a medal given her for that heroic
deed. Further, she stated that she went into
the service in Co. K, 9th Mass, as Tom Smith,
and that her maiden name was written across
the back of her discharge. Who can tell us the
truth about this matter ?-VETERAN, West

duel with bowie knives in dark room, killing
each other.
Capt. Hall in his first article writes about
can invisible enemy" / claim the enemy was
distinctly visible and quite close to us; for how
else can you account for the terrible destruction
Of the enemy? Gen. Ewell reported as follows:
"Iverson reported to Gen. Rodes that one of
his regiments raised the white flag and had
gone over to the enemy" Gen Iverson changed
his opnion for in his report dated Camp near
Darkesville, July II, 1868, on this very action,
heexcuses the surrender By reporting stubborn
fighting; 500 of his men dead in line as if on
dress parade" (See Southern Historical Papers,
VOL s, page 1881 And yet, in spite of this,
Capt. Hall would have the public believe that
he alone, with his regiment, numbering perhaps
not over 800 men, inflicted ali this loss Ton an
invisible enemy y, and, besides, captured
whole brigade A veritable Baron Mum
chausen this Capt Hail. Like Sir FaIstaff he
alone did it all ~. If all the war maps since
published, and my memory, too. serves me
right, the SD n. Y. and S3th Pa were between
the 9th n. Y. and our regiment Capt. Hall
must have had very good eyes and plenty of
idle time to be able now to describe exactly
what the 18TH Mass. did or did not | being
Adjutant of the 18th Mass, had more latitude
of domain than he rs Captain of company,
but was so much engaged with our own affairs
that cannot now describe how actively or in
what exact manner the 9th N Y was engaged;
neither would / undertake to do it for them, but
presume that they did then, as they always
had done their whole duty
AS for the innuendoss and slurs of Capt. Hall
about driving in the mist" etc, l have
only to say that I have other business to attend
to, being most actively engaged in mercantile
pursuits which occupy my whole time and
neither of his articles would have been replied
to my be but by urgent request OF my comrades.
If Capt. Hall would only study little more
the cardinal prccepts of our Order, " Fraternity,
Charity and Loyalty" he would shun abuse,
adhere more closely to truth, treat his COM
rades in friendship, and Loyalty describe his
action and the action of his regiment, and not
voluntarily endeavor to misrepresent the rec
ord Of other regiments. In conclusion, have
only to say that Carleton " and other histori-
cal writers, like Col. Batcheder, take their
cues of historical events not from men claiming
exclusive credit for certain actions, but they
sift the chaf from the wheat and in the end
give proper credit to whomsoever it belongs,

Messages Under The Street.

The Western Union Telegraph company
have ust added to their New York Of
flee an attachment which makes a step
forward in mechanical appliances This
attachment constitutes the longest pneu
matte tube system in the world. A word
will make clear the principal employed.
Suppose the air to be pumped out of a
tight tube till vacuum is left. Then the
air suddenly let in, will rush with such
force rs to carry small objects along with
it through the tube, from one end to the
other. That is the exhaust, or pneumatic
vacuum method. Another way is to drive
a current of air by machinery through a
tube with such pressure that in this case,
too. small packages will be carried along.
This is the air pressure method. Both
are in use at the main New York office
of the w. U T. Co. TO get the force
necessary tremendous pumping eng mes
are used. plant of four at each end OF
the pneumatic line.
These engines are among the largest
in America.
The line operated is four miles long.
from the Western Union office to Twenty
third street and Fifth avenue. Besides
this another short line extends from the
main Office to Wall street. From the ex-
haust pumps in the basement of the
Western Union building line of brass
tubes ascends to the fifth floor. There
the mouths of the tubes and the doors
opening to them, perhaps, are put into a
box shaped like hollow cylinder. The
box is capped over with tight cover 1t
is put into the mouth of the brass tube,
mounts to the ceiling, follows the
downward curve of the tube and
descends to the ground. and shoots
along beneath the street till it
reaches Twenty-third street. There it
falls into the receptacle at that end of the
tube. sometimes with a clatter rs though
the world was coming to al end. Or the
programme may be reversed. and the box
sent. from Twenty-third street to the
main office.
The miles of tubes pass underground, as
all wires and lines ought to. The pneu-
matte tubes are of brass. in 20 feet lengths
They are laid in trenches of solid mason
nv. The force is so great that it was diff
cult to get boxes or carriers strong enough
to stand the wear and tear They are now
made of vulcanized rubber, with felt
pad at the end to break the blow when the
carrier reaches its journeys end.
The pneumatic carrying has long been
in use in tall manufacturing buildings.
and for very short distances. In the Lon
don post office it is made use cfextensive-
" for mail carrying purposes. But there
they have relays of way stations at short
intervals. nothing ike the long
miles now operated in New York. Our
slow going British brethren even prefer
the pneumatic system to the telephone
The little rubber carrier holding the
messages shoots under the streets at the
rate OF mile minute. The machinery
is very expensive. After it is in working
order. however, there is saving. A
number of messengers to carry city dis
patches. aud of telegraph operators to re-
peat them. can thus be done away with.
