Ventiate your sleeping apartment every day

time to keep it moist.

When you are drowsy from reading or work

Of fatigue, calls for rest.
Thin-clad ankles and limbs in Fall and

Manya man takes pneumonia or rheumatism
or pleurisy from sitting a few moments on q

Broom out the dust and accumulations from

To THE EDITOR: l noticed in your paper Of
LIST inst a point which interests me. You state
that Ella L. Gibson, LIST Wis H. A., is not en-
titled to membership of the GAL K. on the
ground she never WAS in the U. S. Service,
which, Of course, is correct. Now, my case is
different. l was in the service of the T. S. for
nearly two years. but having been appointed
from civil life by the President, am deprived
admission because was never an enlisted man.
The Post in this town refused me on the ground
that l was not eligible, and Department Com
mander J. ID. Billings supports them, but writes
me: ! can see that it works a hardship in

the discovery that hog cholera, which caused
$4,000 damages in one County in Virginia, is
due to bacilli. 1t is already demonstrated that
cattle can be inoculated for Texas fever and
pneumonia.
Your horses will enjoy good bath as much
as you will yourself if it be given in a proper
way. The water should not be cold enough to
chill them, and good, large sponge is the best
thing to use in bathing them. This pleasure
thus afforded the horses is not the only benefit
derived from such operations, but the hair and
skin can be better cleansed this way than any
other. 1t is good plan to rub them thoroughly
dry after the bath. Advantage should be taken,
however, of warm day, or you may give the
animals severe cold.
The pumpkin contains six or seven times
as much water as either corn or oats, but even
if the pumpkin be freed entirely of its water it
would not equal the grains for feeding; but,
considering the ease with which pumpkins can
be grown, however, they are very cheap.

The 18th Wis. Mt Corinth.

To THE EDITOR: On Thursday, Oct 2, 1869,
my brigade (the 14th and 10th Wis., was
| ordered out to Chewalla, some IL miles from
| Corinth, to check the rebel advance. We took
! position in a heavy piece of timber near an
open field, and while skirmishers were out
feeling for the rebel position, We cut down
| trees to impede the progress of their advance.
| All that night we lay in line of battle, with
| our side-arms on and our muSkets by our sides.
ready at moments notice to meet the foe.
| In our immediate front we heard the inces5ant
rumble Of artillery, the tramp of infantry and
| cavalry, and the sharp ring OF bayonets as the
| long lines of rebels came to halt and stacked
! their arms. You can judge that we did not
! sleep much that night and at break OF day the
next morning it was discovered that the open
| field in front of us-only stones throw-was
| swarmlng with rebel5-infantry, cavalry and
artillery. Quite large portion of cur regi-
| ment and that of the 10th was deployed as
! skirmishers and from that time until dark
| contested every inch of the rebel advance, and
| again bivouacked on our arms for the mig ht.
| This was Friday night, and on Saturday morn
| ing early the enemy attacked our skirmish-
| line, and again every inch Of ground was stub
| bornly contested until we had crossed the
railroad some three miles from Corinth. where
| having secured an elevated position and having
obtained reinforcement of couple of field
| pieces and one brigade, stand was made
This was at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning,
anu iol iouf 'iiiies we heiu ou[ position ana
repulsed every attempt to dislodge Us until
o'clock in the afternoon, when with their
superior numbers the rebels fanked our posi-
ton and we were compelled to fall back within
the Notifications at Corinth. This virtually
ended our fighting for the day. And well it
might; for when we were finally halted for the
only rest we had had since Thursday noon, out
of about 500 with which our regiment started
out we could muster but "A dirt begrimed and
blood-stained heroes. Col. Hancock our brave
regimental commander, who stood by his men
as stern and unfinching as a rock while duty
called, now sat on his horse and wept like
a child when he saw the havoc which had boon
made in his ranks But we had accomplished
the important object for which we had been
sent. We had kept $4,000 or 10000 rebels in
check until re-enforcements could reach Co.
rinth, which they did just in time to save the

Gen. Roseerans for Secretary Of War.


At meeting of cx-Confederate officers held
In Washington City on Tuesday night Gen. W.
5. Rosecrans was Endorsed as a suitable Score
tary of War in the new Cabinet. SO far as we
can interpret the feeling of the Union soldiers
OF the late war, they, too, would prefer Gen.
Rosecrans for Secretary of War to any other
man whose name has been mentioned This
opinion Is based on the fact that the 1900 vet
Grams at the Home near here seem to be unani-
mons for him. They say he is both soldier and
civilian, and has had experience and sympa-
thics IN both directions which prominently
fit him for the place over any other man.
