Twenty first street. In the room next Twenty
second street, second floor we see Brig Zen.
Neal Dow, of Maine, the great temperance
advocate. He was captured near Port Hudson
He is quite small man in stature, very ner-
vous and active. He has penchant for punch
ing every nail head he sees protruding in the
floor and elsewhere in the building 1t is an
moving to many, but. being advanced in years
he is INDUCED in his fancy, and having procured
a hammer he goes around continually hunting
nail heads to hit. The men say that his beng
a prisoner resulted from his balting while on q
raid to hammer down some nail heads in cabin
he stopped at, and got gobbled up by the rebels
while hard at it. If he ever should imagine
there is a nail in Libby Prison that he has not
hit he will surely return. At night, when too
dark to see to hit nail heads, he some times
lectures.
Brighten. Graham is a very quiet man with
an arlstocratlc manner. He was captured at
Gettysburg, in battle. We hear and see but lit
tie of him. He halls from New York.
Col. A. d. Streght holds forth in middle
room up stairs. He is large strong featured,
and very excitable man, with very strong
prejudices. He is extremely radical in every
thing, and thinks Gen. Mcclellan was traitor
and his admirers not much better. But, then,
he surrendered about 500 good troops to rebel
Gen. Forrest, with less than one third that
number of followers, near Rome, Ga, and feels
little sore all the time about it.
A tall cavalry officer in hish-top boots is lee
turing in one of the middle rooms up stairs in
eloquent language on mesmerism. lie is SAID
TO be professional lecturer. 1t is Maj. Henry,
of the 4th Ohio Cav, since killed in Tennessee
by a Capt Johnson in personal difficulty.
Henry is man of striking appearance, bland
manners, and Il forcible speaker. He is replied
to by another tall, handsome Major of the 9th
Pa 1t is Harry White, who is the majority
of one needed by the Republicans of his State
to organize the State Senate, and by keeping
him prisoner the rebels are infiicting consld-
cradle injury and expense upon his loyal State
and party. He has since been prominent in
State politics and number of years a Member
of Congress.
Albert d. Richardson now speaks. He is not
so handsome man as either of the other two.
but one of the brainiest men in the prison. He
receives all attention, and his friend and COM
panion,- also has a twO-story forehead
Junius Henri Browne. sits admringly III his

attempt TO run the batteries of Nicksburg.
Richardson has since been killed by Mcfarland

I" Old Soldier"

To THE EDITOR: | have had the good for
tune TO belong to your list of subscribers during
the past year. have enjoyed the paper hugely,
and anticipate much pleasure in its future
perusal. l am glad to see the interest taken III
II as the representative of our common cause
Foremost among our desires is the welfare of
our soldier brotherhood. This seems to be the
outgrowth of years of marching, camping and
lighting. The expression IAN old soldier -
stirS our hearts to flame with many The war
Is thing of the past not so with the soldier.
He is continually fighting his battles over. A
realization of the terrible cost of the struggle
for National preservation is passing before him
in review, as scene after scene of his army life
is pictured to his mind. No one is more ca
pable of approaching the glorious results-a
country saved, reunited and handed down to
generations unborn. However humble the
position of the faithful soldier, he may well
be proud that he belonged to the Army of
the Union. However weak the effort, it is
source Of Joy TO know that it was made in faith
and loyalty. These rejoicings are our herit-
age. All honor then, to the private in the rear
rank, the nurse, the cook, the teamster, or even
the supernumerary. BY watching, waiting,
marching, toiling, praying and fighting the
great victory was achieved. After all, il seems
TO Inc that it was not so much the brilliant
charge" or the determined resistance which
gained the day as the faithful attention to
details, our confidence in each other in our
officers, and in the justice and righteousness of
our cause. These things nerved the soldier to
do and dare, and made our army invincible.-

charlottesville.

To TIE EDITOR: If Comrade Warner, of the
134th n. Y, i'll his letter of the 25th ult. in
regard to the battle of charlottesville, had
said the 136th n. Y. instead of the 15ith n Y,
he would have saved Comrade Bird the trouble
of denying that the 15ith n. Y. was on that
wild goose chase through the woods after jack
sons wagon train as the '136th n. Y was in
Barlow's Brigade at that time and was on that
reconnaissance; and if we did not succeed in
finding Jackson, he (Jackson) succeeded in
finding our knapsacks, which we left on the
line occupied by us before we left our lines.

Port Republic Again.

To THE EDITOR: have read with great
deal of interest the different accounts by diff
ferent comrades of the Port Republic fight,
and l believe Comrade Covert, of Leroy, Kan,
is as near correct as any. Still he, as well as
all others, ignore the fact that old Batte~y b,
1st W. Va. J.. A., was in part all of the
little muses." stirred up by Gen. Shields
Our battery was i'll Shields's Division from
March, 1862, until its Reorganization. taking
part in the battle of Winchester taking part
in the march up the Valley and from there to
Falmouth, opposite fredericksburg; then back
on a forced march to Front Royal, to the as
sstance of Gen. Banks,-One section of the
battery going with Col. Carroll to Port Repub-
lie, and the remainder staying at Front Royal.
/ agree with Comrade Covert in his estimate
of Shields's Divisional better one never was
organized, and no better General ever COM
manded division. My candid opinion is that
if Gen. Shields. instead of Gen. Mcdowell,
had been boss" of the arrangement the
bridge at Port Republic would have been
burned and JacksOn's entire command would
have been forced by Gems. Shields and Ere
mont to surrender. Long live the memory of

Colds and Coughs frequently develop

Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure cure in all affections
of this class. That eminent physician, Z
Prof. F. SweetZer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectUrant so good AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL. II is invaluable for diseases of tie
throat and lungs"
The same opinion is expressed by the
.welEhnown DIR. j. Addison, of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says
81 have never found, in thirty-fve years Of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, for treatment of diseases of the

and cures severe coughs, but Is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

Is it Really Consumptionl

Many case supposed to be radical lung dis
ease is really one of liver complaint and ndi-
gestion, but, unless that diseased liver can be
restored to healthy action, it will SO clog the
lungs with corrupting matter as to bring on
their speedy decay, and then indeed we have
consumption, which is scrofula of the lungs, in
its worst form. Nothing can be more happily
calculated to nip this danger in the bud than
is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery"

AYERS
Cherry PeCtoral

Is not n new claimant for popular conf
dence, but a medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There is not II household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given it proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
eases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is q
medicine that only requires to be taken in '
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and IS
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.

THE CROPS.
Their Condition as Compared With the
Same Period Last Year,

The Indiana Farmer will this week con-
tain an exhaustive resume OF the crops in
this and other States, from reports gath
cred by men employed specially for that pur.
pose, and from these the Sentinel is enabled
TO give the following estimates: The wheat
plant is very hardy, and unless the roots
were broken by the freezing there is q posi-.
bility for a better crop than now appears.
From tables compiled by the Farmer it ap.
pears that the lowest condition for wheat ia
Indiana is N the Southern division, while
in the Central il is better, aud in the North.
ern the best, like conditions prevail
ing in the same sections OF Onio
and Illinois. The per cant Of
wheat sown is S., and the condition IS
Last year at same date crop sown was 95
condition So. The condition OF clover 4
placed at IS and timothy at 81 per cent,
being q higher cor dition than was reported
at this time last year. For apples the condi
ton is reported at IS, and peaches at Al, bul
only few counties reported peaches at all
and these In the southern division. Under
the condition OF live stock the per cent. is
reckoned at nearly the same as at the CORE
ponding date last year, horses being SO, cat
tie 90, hogs o. and sheep - per cent. The
Department OF Agriculture at Washington
hiss reports to the effect that there Ia about
80 per cent. OF last years wheat crop yet in
farmers hands, being greater amount than
at the same date last year. The Farmer finds
that this is true in some localities, but the
per cent. is mach lees in others, there being
very little difference between this year and
last at the same date.
