Union army when the Of the rebellion broke
out a member Of Battery r, LIST Pa. Art. His
promotion was very rapid, and he reached the rank
of Colonel In the beginning Of the his battery
was ordered to join Gen. Bankss command at
Jamestown, Md, and from that time the young
artileryman was always at she front until the close
of the war, and his battery was one of the most
famous in the Union army. At Gettysburg il did
good service in repelling the Confcderates in their
attack upon the Union right. Col Ricketts, lost 10
horses and q men in this engagement. The dis
tnguished soldier at the close of the war managed
a large lumber estate North Mountain in sui

ever, that he has consented to run for Office
Department Commander Jerome B. Burke. Of the
Department of the Potomac said to a San Francisco
reporter: san Francisco sir, is simply surprise.
Why. have spoken with no end Of Eastern people
and Heaven only guess how many I know
and they all say that their impression was ike
mine, that when We came to san Francisco we we're
coming out of the world. Now all can say is that
it is good to be out of the world for little while il

and couple of houses and then a big space and so
on, but / assure you, after being in the Eneamp-
ments at Boston, Portland and others, can safely
swear that in place have we seen such business
enterprise as is exhibited here ia San Francisco.
Not only has the reception accorded us never been
equaled but we lost to know how all the details
could be so marvelOusy arranged and this previous
hard work combined with the unremitting atten-
ton and sociabilites that extended to us here
at every minute have simply brought us to the
conclusion that you Californans never rest As for
the procession must say that the parade and gem
eral style of the California National Guard was in
every point equal TO the military Of Pennsylvania.
But there it isvery little asking any of East
ern men what we think about San Francisco, be-
cause every word we have is praise, and we don't
find the vocabulary big enough to tell all feel.
