disappointment was great when we failed
to see the big brass buttons with weighty
epuletts shining on majestic colonel but

crooked cane and high white hat. One

why we were called out with the long

the severest taste of war that we had yet

boats that filled the river as far as the
eye could reach covered with blue coats.

THE FIFTY-THIRD REGIMENT.
Mr.. EDITOR: AS many of your readers are inter-

make the following brief statement in reference to
our sick.
During the process of formation the regiment was,
for the most part, almost without sick list During
the past few weeks, however, daily sick report
has varied from fifty to hundred and fifty, due,
mainly, to the general prevalence of ofmeasles

OF these forty have measles. and six have fe
of various kinds The sick are, almost without
exception, convalescing and in all probability, the
greater portion of them will be reported for dnty and
sent on with the regiment in a few days.

be assured that the exertons will be made by
the commanding and medical officers to afford them
all the attention and aid which their situations de-

Capt. G. X. Crumit.
Dear Comrade: Your letter of March 9TH has finally
reached me at this place, where have been living
since June last.
Your invitation to be present and meet old COM
rades in a social reunion at the old Camp Diamond,
reaches me under circumstances that render it i'm
possible for to comply. l most sincerely regret
this imperative necessity.
l would rejoice to meet more many
old comrades, who kindly received me-a total
stranger-trusting me in the important position to
which was assigned and ofwhom. have none but
the warmest recollections of friendship, cemented
by three years of danger and exposure
Iwould willingly have responded to the toast Our
Fallen Comrades yet with keen parceptian of my
inability do justice, their uninching bravery,
their quiet, accomplishing endurance of pain and
suering their sad resignation to the fact that they
should never home and friends again. The mem
ory fills me with sadness as l recall it.
May he who gives the response to that toast. handle
their memories enderly you did their bodies
when with sad countenances you wrapped them in a
soldiers blanket, the only shroud of so many brave
men, and laid them in southern soil.

was called out by Maj. Dawes, and spoke few
words, assuring the boys of his entire happi-
ness in being able to be present, having come
over five hundred miles to get here. Jim was
quite popular with the boys.
There were no further formal exercises, the
boys spending the remainder of the evening in
living their army experiences over again, and
the citizens doing what they could to
render their stay pleasant. The bad
weather was n subject of regret,
as with n fine day there would have
been much larger crowd and the boys could
have viewed their old camp ground. However,
the Reunion was a grand success, and the boys
all had good time. One noticeable feature was
the fresh, and even youthful appearance, of
many of the men. While some heads are being
rapidly silvered with age, many are still free
from these silver tracings. Mr. D. S. Barton, of
this place, we believe, about the Oldest man
present.
There were several men of the Regiment In
town who did not register. Lieut.. Gray, OF
Ironfon, was not here. There was someinquiry
among the boys as to the whereabouts of Lieu
tenant-Colonel Fulton. He was ashort, odd
looking man, and during the stay of the Regi-
ment here was called "the pegging awl." He
was heard. There are quriTe number of survi-
vors of the Regiment in adjoining counties who
could not get here.
So the Fifty-Third has come and gone again,
but like their first going, the most pleasant
memories of their good qualities as soldiers and
citizens remain.

ADMIRAL PoRrER's recent fiction abou, the famous

hstory-truth. But then "Ei llmirdnie" was

" Fen from my boyish days" he has been noted as
joker, ready to sacrifice ruth for fiction when the
occasion required In fact, OF the two, he rather pre-

be pet project Of the Admrals, and undertaken at
his suggeston hence, perhaps, the necessity for the
present fiction from the Admlral's prolific pen.
