ST Kiegg's company was on picket one day,
while Gen. Buell. was trying to make up his
mind what to do with Bragg. Rations had
been little short for week or So In fact they
had been scarcely sufficient to meet the de-
mands of Sis appetite and his haversack had
nothing in it to speak of Strict orders against
foraging had been issued. 81 couldn't quite
get it straight in his head why the General
should be so mighty particular about few
pigs and chickens and Sweet potatoes, for he
was really getting hungry, and when man is
in this condition he is not in fit mood to
grapple with fne-spun theories Of govern
mental policy.
So when fat pig came wabbling and grunt-
ing toward his post. it was to 81 like vision
Of mama to the children of Israel in the
wilderness A wild, uncomfortable desire to
taste fresh spare-rib took possession of him.
Naturally his first idea was to send bull
let through the animal, but on second thought
he saw that wouldn't do at all. 1t would
give him away" at once, and besides he had
found that single shot on the picket-line
would keep Ruel's entire army in line of bat
tie for whole day. Then he thought of the
bayonet, and the scene so well depicted by our
artist followed.
ST wrote to his mother that his bright new
bayonet was stained with Southern blood, and
the old lady shuddered at the awful thought.
But" added ST." it was only pig, and not a
man, that | killed."
Pm so glad !" she exclaimed.

CAPTURE OF A LOCOMOTIVE,

We have now secured another edition OF
this thrilling war narrative. There is prob
ably no work of fiction extant which so
thoroughly epgrosses the attention and en-
lists the sympathy of the reader as this mar
rative of Mr.. Pittengers. 1t combines in
itself all the most exciting elements of ro-
nance, and has the merit of being absolutely
true in every particular: 1t recounts how
several daring spirits left the Union lines,

WHY SOLDIERS SHOULD WORK FOR US.
The first session of the 10th Congress will
begin in few weeks. Without doubt it
will be one of unusual Importance to all ex-
soldiers and sailors. Measures of the high
est interest to every man who wore the blue
will be brought forward and discussed with
reference to enactment into laws. But to
secure the passage of these earnest, steadfast
work will be necessary. The soldier has
numerous and active enemies-men who did
not sympathize with the cause which he
served, and who persistently belittle all that
he did, while grossly exaggerating what has
been done for him. They control many of
the papers of the country, and have free
access to the columns of still more These
abound with all manner of distorted and
false statements calculated to prejudice the
public against any attempt to do the soldier
justice to recognize his services to the country,
to fulfill the promises made him when he
was needed, or to iberalize and render more
just the pension system. They are against
all pensions, and would close the doors of the
Treasury against him and his dependent
ones.
The great majority of the papers of the
country are, it is true in favor of the soldier,
but each one of them has local issues and per-
sonal struggles, which mainly engross its
attention, and prevent its giving time or
attention to matters relating to justice to
the soldier.
The same is true in degree of Congress
men. The majority of them are very favor
able to the soldier. But each Of them rep
resents nearly 100000 people-active, STIR
ring men and women, with hosts of inter-
ests to be looked after and who insist that
they shall be looked after. 1t is very diff
cult for them to gain time to investigate the
many details of all legislation affecting
the soldier, and they are liable to be
misled by the active and unscrupulous op-
position of those who would deny the soldiers
everything. This shows the necessity of the
soldiers having an able and untiring adyo-
cate at the seat of Government, and one
which will plead their cause to the public
and to Congress in season and out of sea-
son.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is such an ad-
vocate, as it has abundantly demonstrated in
the past 1t has never failed to plead effect
lively for every measure which has promised
to aid the soldier, and its powerful support
has been Of the greatest help in securing the
passage of proper legislation. All will re-
member, as an illustration Of this, how valu
able its aid was in securing the passage of
the Arrears Bill.
It will be of immense Importance to the
soldiers during the coming Winter to have
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's circulation
doubled or trebled. All know how well it has
done when it had the backing of100, 600 sub
scribers. It can and will do vastly better
when it speaks in the name of quarter of
million soldiers, as it should. Comrades,
work for it, even as it has worked, is work
ing, and will work for you and yours Then
there will be no doubt about its having its
subscription list doubled before the meeting
of Congress. Help yourselves by helping us.

THE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN OFFER.

THE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN OFFER.
We are getting number of acceptanees of
our proposition to supply the comrades of
New York with THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for five weeks for 10 cents a name. This is
an admirable opportunity to put the paper
in the hands Of those whom it is desired to
influence to vote the right way, and the sol
diers in New York see it. There ought to
be several hundred thousand copies of the
paper scattered through the State before
election time, and if this is done it will
have a powerful influence in deciding the
result in favor of the comrades.

THE Roman Catholic denomination in the
United States has suffered serious loss in
the death Of Cardinal John McCloskey, which
occurred in New York soon after midnight
of Oct. 8. His age was IS. His end had
been hourly expected for several days. He
was born in Brooklyn. He was ordained
Priest in 1884, Bishop in 1914, Archbishop in
1864, and Cardinal in 1875. He was the first
and only prelate ever appointed Cardinal
in this country. On March 10, 1875, he was
invested with the red hat at the hands of the
venerable Archbishop Bailey, of Baltimore,
with the most imposing religious ceremonies
ever seen i'll the New World. By his death
Rev. Michael A. Corrigan becomes Arch
bishop Of New York. There is now no
American Cardinal. Appointments to that
high Office are made by the Pope himself

GEN. BOB" TooMBs, one Of the few ad-
herents of the Lost Cause who have per-
sistently refused to be reconstructed is
dying at his home in Washington, Ga. He
is very old, and both his mental and physical
faculties are much impaired. His mind is
seriously affected, and in its wanderings the
old rebellious spirit, so often manifested by
Toombs since the war, is uppermost One
night last week he asked to be raised from
his bed as " the enemy were coming" He
then relied his charge at Antietam, and
asked to be laid down again when the mag
mary fight was finished. All hope Of his
recovery has been abandoned by his friends,
and death is liable to occur at any time

A FANCY.
BY WILL MEREDITH NICHOLSON.

Meath sullen skies the marshalled clouds parade ;
The Autumn wind sighs a weird monotone
In which hear, in fancy, softly blown,
The stirring bugle notes that once were played
To moekinG echoes in a Southern glade;
hear the sentinel's quick challenge tone
The noise and stir of war, all backward thrown
Across the gulf that peaceful years have made
But long ago the clouds of war had spent
Their fury sounds of strife no longer fill
The field whereon sweet peace hath spread her
tent
But those same bugle tones are sounding still,
And ringing through the starry armament
Whilst Memory's campfres blaze upon the hill.

For years the people have bad the
change rung in their ears, that if the
Democratic party succeeded to power
the negroes Of the South would be re-
snslaved, the confederate war debt
would be paid by the general govern
mens, the manufacturing, industrial and
financial interests Of the country would
Ianguish and die under the influence Of
uuiriendly Democratic power and poll
cy, rebel soldiers would be pensiOned,
and many other dire calamities were to
follow in the wake of Democratic
administration. Thousands and thous-
ands Of Republicans have continued to
vote the Republican ticket through fear
that these things would all happen il
the Democrats should elect g president.
Well the Democrats elected president
and be has bsen administering the gov
ernment now nine months, and what
are the results I? Well, no proposition
has been made nor suggestion advanced
to re-enslayS the eolorsd people Of the

that kind would meet with az much
opposition Ia the South as in the North
The manufacturing industrial and e.
nancial interests of the country hav.
been growing better ever since Cleve

pears evident that the financial stress
and consequent hard time which swept
over the whole coaatry during the lat

soon to give place to revival Of trade,

The condition Of things has proven
largely instrumental in opening The
eyes Of those Republican voters who
haye been so long deceived by these
predictions made to alarm them, aud
many are now deserting the Republican

dict that in the elections to come off il
