An Incident of the War Of 1872.

To THE EDITOR: read in your paper an ac-
| count of a Zouave regiment that fought so des-
perately at Gaines's MILL juno q, 1862. 1t was
stated that they were given whisky and gun
powder. That brought to my mind an incident
of the war of 1912 that have heard my mother
tell. 1t was that battle on Lake Champlain,
fought between the English and the Ameri-
cans, under Commodore McDcnOugh On the
morning of the battle Commodore McDOnOugh
called his men all together and held prayers.
AS he arose from his knees, after he had COM
mitted them to God, cook at the cabin door
exclaimed, Commodore the victory is ours
The English Commodore treated his men to
whisky and gunpowdcr.h Our Commodore had
two colored servapts, a man and his wife,
named Peters Hisiduty was to pass powder to
the guns. He was soon wounded, and was car
ried down to the cabin His wife stepped up
and took his place. She was dressed in white
from head to foot, and kept her place until the
battle was over. The next morning son was
born to that brave couple, and they named him
Commodore McDonough General George Wash
ington Peters. He was quite hero in that
village of White Hail. where my mother lived
many years. ,7.. 90.
My husband was in the last war four years
and my eldest son two years. We did what we
could to save our country. 1 enjoy your paper
very much, and call myself veterans wife,

Another Monument at Gettysburg.

On the oath ult. the friends and survivors of
the 18th Mass, to the number of 100, arrived at
Gettysburg to take part in the Reunion and
dedication of the regiments monument on
Mumasburg road, northwest of Gettysburg, on
the scene of the first days fight, where Color
Sergeant Rolan B. Morris fell. The monument
is of granite The base, bearing the inscription,
:" First Brigade, Second Division, First Corps,
July, 1863" is surmounted by statue seven
feet high, representing the color-bearer in the
act of drawing his sword. The exercises at the
monument were opened with an address by
Col. A. N. Sampson, of Boston. An Grafton was
delivered by Mayor Joseph A. Fox, of Cam
bridge, and an original poem, by the Rev. }. NJ.
Savage, of Boston, was read by Chas. +. Davis.
The monument was then rendered to the Battle
field Memorial Association, and was received
by Vice President .. A. Buehler. In the after
noon the National Cemetery was visited, and
the graves of Massachusetts and unknown SOL
diers were decorated with flowers furnished by
the ladies of Gettysburg. Tonight Campfire
was held in the hall Of Post 8, whose guests
the visitors were. ,f

a depth of 40 feet. and from the bottom of the

depth of 40 feet and from the bottom of the
shaft another series diverged, directly under
those above. The headings branched at right
angles every 20 feet, and were TO in number in
each tier The double system of headings was
employed to gain sufficient depth after the
explosion without the necessity of dredging out
to the extent that was necessary at Halletts
Point.
The total length of tunneling was about four
miles, consisting of "a galleries running north
and south, and &c running east and west. The
longest of these was ] 200 feet in length, feet
wide and 10 feet high. There was thickness
of from 10 to % feet between the roof of the top
tier of galleries and the water There were
467 pillars left to support the roof. These were
ID feet square The whole rock was honey
combed with tunnels, about $4,000 cubic feet OF
rock having been removed.
There were drilled in the pillars and roof
1926 chambers for holding the cartridges
each chamber three inches in diameter
and about nine feet deep. These chambers
were filled with rackarock cartridges, of which
there were about 1900 used each being two
and a half inches in diameter, two feet in
length and containing six pounds of explosives.
In addition to the rackarock cartridges, several
hundred ordinary dynamite cartridges were
used to which the wires connecting with the
decorating electric batteries were attached, the
simultaneous shock from these causing the
explosion of all the remaining cartridges. Over
2S5, 600 pounds of explosives were used.

A Baggage Check Which Saved A Soldiers Life.

Lieut. II. NJ. Parker of Blissfeld, Mich, late
of the 18th ILL.,, has in his possession brass
baggage check which saved his life on the bat
tlefield. 1t is check No. IS, from the Cairo &
Fulton Railroad, and was placed on Comrade
Parker in sport by some friends, who said they
wanted to check him through all right at Bird S
Point, in Missouri, opposite Cairo long dis
lance from Fort DOaelson, and three or four
months before the battle occurred. During the
fight referred to he knew bullet had struck
him, as he felt the jar, but he did not know how
near it came to making hole through his body
until he looked himself over afterward. The
check was hanging by the little leather strap
which is with it STILL the inside of his blouse
and under his overcoat and it was through
these and a large pocketbook that the cold rebel
lead went it struck the check on one side, bent
it nearly half double, and glanced outward
through the clothing again. 1t did not touch
the soldiers body, but left him unframed. He
was very much out of patience, however, when
he found it had cut his tobacco pouch to pieces,
and spoiled the smoke which he so wanted to
take after the battle of cannon and musketry
had ceased.

Kate Homer CIayton RAYMOND w. Howe,

In reply to recent communication i'll THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE from John NJ Shoemaker
in regard to the lady whose name heads this
article. the Porcupine, of Los Angeles, Cal.
publishes the following:
We had experience here with the dstin-
Cuished forager and it was humilatng and expen-
sive. In addition to all our inquring comrade
says the enterprising Kate while here claimed to
be an honorary comrade of the GAR, and such an
Internal bore did she become to the Posts of this
Department as to elicit n General Order from the
Department Commander. Kate is not grand
daughter of Gen. Winfield Scott; not an honorary
comrade of the GAR; was not drummer In
Hooker's Corps As Tom Smith or any other Tom
or Smith Kate never did or will get up enter
tainments for the benefit Of the q. X. Post, Wo-
mans Relief Corps any other bodies or individ-
uals other than for kutes necessltouS self Kate Is
not licensed to preach by Bishop Haven or any
other bishop living dead. Kate was not wounded
at Lookout Mountain as Tom Smith or ony other
Tom or any other Smith, or as a drummer, soldier
or man.
However our Green Bay comrades will, probably.
before this reaches them have escaped the infctiOn
of the woud-be drummer by her having vamosed
the ranch the tactics of Kate is ever forward and
never backward, and as she always seeks pastures
new under name they Will never be likely
to see her more, and this honest information will
have reached them too late and they VIII have lost
the benefit of one of Kate GA X entertainments.
The Green Bay boys like the California boys,
will have been unfortunate If they fail to sit down
on Kate promptly.

George w. Lovejoy, of Bridgeport Conn, a

recently premature discharge of the cannon
shattered his right arm and injured the eye.
Soon after the accident DR.. Wilson, an occulist

tion on Lovejoy's eye. He removed from the
ball a piece of hickory ramrod which was blown
into the eye 81 years ago. The piece is almost
an inch in length and over an eighth of an
inch in diameter. Mr.. Lovejoy is in conse-

fercd almost constantly since the accident. He
was not aware of the existence of the splinter
