Legate Post, on friday evening last,
at Mineral Point. Here we have
six OF our most substantial citizens,
who freely placed their own lives in
jeopardy, that the nation might live.
Some Of them carry "reminiscences
of the battlefield on their persons,
and have painful rememberances of
Andersonyille and Libby prisons.
There are many others in and around
Linden who fought in the greatest
battles of the late war, and many
who suffered the horrors of the
prisons that Southern ingenuity
could devise. Surely there is no
honor too great for such as these.
