Some "Reminiscences of an DID, Time Member.
and a wen-Known Indianian.
National Republican. April 20.
Among others attracted to Washington by the
banquet and reunion of the original members Of
the National Rifles organization was Col Jasper
M. Dresser, of Lafayette Ind, whose famous
"Dresser's Battery" made for itself place i'm
history before Donelson. Chatting with Re-
publican reporter Colonel Dresser gave somo
very interesting information respecting the try
ing days of 1861 He at the breaking out OF
the war a clerk in the Land Department., enjoy
ing the distinction of being the first clerk ap-
pointed under Republican administration. He
likewise a member of the National Rifles,
then, as now, one Of the crack militia organiza-
tions of the District President Lincoln's call for
20, 600 three months men was published on April
10. 1861. and by o'clock of the same morning
most of the members were at company quarters,
and by 10 o'clock the organization had reported
at the War Department, ready for duty at the
front" 1t was the first company mustered into
the government service, and not only that, but
was also the first company from the North to Ell
ter upon Virginia soil. The National Rifle
passed over the bridge and marched t0wart
Alexandria at midnight, and Ellsworth and his
men came over about five hours later. Colonel
Dresser says that there is nothing he is much
more proud of than the fact that he was tlie
third man in his command to set step on seces-
sion soil with gun Fat ready" and the stars and
stripes to guide. Few people can realize the
great peril Washington really was in at that
patriotic people of the District or the gallant
men who went forth to battle in its defense 4
The company was quartered for a while
near the house now occupied by General Logan,
and many a hostile bullet was wont to whistle
into camp. Tracing the history Of the little
band Of men who went out with the National
Rifles, it is seen that almost all who lived at
tanned eminent position in the military BUSH
ness, or political world. Colonel Dresser's his
tory was certainly an eventful During the
four years hard fighting which he saw after he
marched over the Potomac and into the old Do
minion, ne was under fire on Eo less than 1903
different occasions. He served with Grant, Lo-
gam Oglesby, and other distinguished generals,
and always held important commands. At the
conclusion of the war he returned TO his former
home in Tippecano county, Indiana and has been
in business there ever since His first visit here
last week was the first he had made to Washing
ton for twenty five years, and the changes andJ
improvements wrought in the interval interested
him greatly. Colonel Dresser is great ad-
mirer of General Logan and appears to have
much faith that Indiana, in common with al
most all the Western States. will come soldly
to the front for Logan for President In 1883.
