All of sudden he sprang to his feet
with on expression of horror. His
eyes glared, his breast heaved, his
hands clenched.
The lad, on his part rose stupidity a
moment after, his eyes fixed with an
anxious stare on the medium.
"Why did you come here?" cried
Foster in wall. "Why do you come
here to torment me with such sight?
Oh, God! It's horrible! It's horri-
ble" And he clasped his two hands
before his face, shuddering.
Incredulous as / was, the sincerity
of his distress troubled me. Even on
Bartlett it had such an effect that he
dropped his paper and sat bolt up

fairly trembled.

horribly broken! The horse ran away

Then he came to his senses! Oh! his

Foster screamed at this. The
younger Of the men from Algiers broke
into violent sobs. His companion

The First On Mission Ridge.

To THE EDITOR: l have read several letters
in THE TRIBUNE as to who was first On Mis-
sion Ridge. l belonged to Harker's Brigade,
Sheridan's Division, Fourth Corps. The bri-
gade consisted of the 22d, 27th 51st, and 42d
ILL., We were the left division, and joined on
Woods right. We crossed the rebel breastworks
at the foot of the ridge among their cabins, and
went straight up the ridge to Bragg's head
quarters, which was two story plank house.
The flag that foated ON pole at this house was
pulled down by Frank Mott, (Newbern, Ill, }
9th Ill, who now has it in his possession.
Now, it seems to me if Woods men had taken
the works at this place they would have un-
doubtedly taken this flag down. This was a
very long ridge, and it was hard to tell which
regiment first stacked guns. But there is
one thing know, that after we had taken the
ridge we saw a long train of wagons pulling
away from the east side of the ridge, and down
the hill we went pell-mell after them. We had
Just come up TO the first wagon when our bugIe
blew for US to return. We came back to the top
of the hill, inside of the rebel breastworks, and
stacked our guns, wanting to know the reason
why they would not let US capture the train of
wagons. They told us to look down the ridge
Woods men had not taken their part of the
ridge yet. We could see those nearest to US
trying to climb over the breastworks and the
rebs knocking them back with the butts of their
muskets.-W. III. EDsALL, First Sergeant, Co.

Where Did He Col

To THE EDITOR: As have been a reader of
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for about year and
have seen no communication from any member
of my company, will, with your permission,
narrate an incident that think has never been
in print. The raid of the Sth Ill. Cav. below
Fredericksburg in the latter part of May, 1863
known as Lieut. Col. Cendennin's raid, for the
purpose of arresting smuggleTs and freeing
slaves, was a success. While on that neck of
land my company was ordered to the bank of
the Potomac to interview a smuggler. Upon
reaching the river we found gravelly beach
about 100 feet wide, thinly interspersed with
low pine bushes A number of boats were
there. but no one TO claim them. Very soon a
man in a skif appeared. Upon landing the
company formed in circle around very odd
looking specimen of humanity, crooked and
apparently deformed. He was held until line
of guards was placed parallel with the river
and far enough back to prevent surprise Capt
Smith then began to question the strange party,
who said but little. 1t was, however, in his
own defense. All eyes were upon the supposed
smuggler. The questioning had proceeded but
a few moments when strange feeling came
over me. i suggested to Capt. Smith the pro-
priety of at once taking him into custody. But
the Captain seemed to feel differently, and con-
tinued his questions, when all at once, and
without any warning, the center of attraction
was gonc-the supposed smuggler had disap-
peared. The space in the circle was vacant
We all discovered the same thing at the same
time. A cheaplooking lot of cavarymen, We
would have sold out to the first bidder If any
member can explain now, at the expiration of
% years, let him speak up.-E. BASsETT, Co. b.

The 61st Pa, at Fair Oaks.

To THE EDITOR: March 26, 1862, we went
on board the old rotten steamer Wilson Small,
arriving at Hampton, Va, on the evening of
the next day. This was one of the perils of the
service, and fair weather probably our only
salvation. The steamer was SO worthless and
overloaded we had to divide so as to balance
the vessel. The Captain of it finally prohib-
tied us moving around, and cursed US when we
tried to stretch out our cramped limbs; so we
sat STILL trusting the Lord for fair weather to
reach Fortress Monroe. The old boat sank
shortly after we landed.
We reached Warwick Court-hous April 6,
where we were first fired on by the rebel artil-
lery April 15 which introduced us to that
prominent feature of warfare. The pickets of
the 61st were first into the rebels deserted
works in our front. May our regiment TAX
ing its place in the line Of march, reached Will
iamSburg too late to take a hand in the battle
there, but was pushed forward on the advance.
We reached the Chckahominy River at Bot
TOMS Bridge May 81, and Cos. A and III crossed
and picketed the front while the Pioneer Corps
bridged the same. On the 29th and Both of
May we occupied a position at Fair Oaks Sta
ton, the enemy in front, and an oyerflowing
river with bridges swept away in our rear. We
were attacked May 81 by large force of rebels.
We fought till our ammunition was all spent.
At this time we were charged upon in front,
and line of skirmishers was in our rear Our
Col Geo. G. Spear and Maj. w. +. Smith were
wounded, many Of the line officers were killed
and wounded, and the 6lst was without COM
mander. The rebel yelp was now heard in our
rear. Seeing our situation the 61st about faced
and desperate charge was made, although
there was but skirmish- line left. As these
lines came together many brave men went
down clubbing muskets and fighting hand to
hand All around was heard Surrender, you
Yankee" but there was no surrender in the 6Ist.
The regiment was scattered in going back, but
in groups the men rallied under command of
Capt. j. Crepps, the senior officer, and fought
on till dark renewing it next morning with
reinforcements, and aiding in driving the enemy
in disorder from the field.
Gen. Keys's report says of the regiment: "It
fought with extraordinary bravery, and the
casualties in the 61st were heavier than in any
other regiment of Couch's Division. The 6lst
withdrew in good ORDER and came again into
action near my headquarters" The annals of
war do not furnish more illustrious page of
history than was made on that day by the 61st
Pa. The imperishable fame there won would
have been better understood if the fighting had
been done under the eye of any general officer
The place was too hot for even staff officer, no
one daring TO go near enough to order 4 retreat.
But Gen. Keys learned then of the gallant con-
duct of the 61st. The real loss of the regiment
was 30S-D. A. LUCKHART, Co. A, 61st Pa,

HANCOCK AND SEYMOUR.
A STRIKING SIMILARITY
BETWEEN THEM.
Tuo Men made Great by one Event,
and Bo:t, SuccuE7b 10
Common Fate.

General Hancock, the pride of the army; of
splendid physique,i martial bearing; the Obe-
dent soldier, whom war made famous
Governor Seymour, the d-tme gentleman,
the pacific statesman, the idol of great party
Both men standard-be of the Democracy,
the one as a soldier, the other as a statesman
in presidential contest-both dead; both dead
almost at the same hour
There is a remarkable parallel and contrast
between these two men. The war period made
both famous. Both were patriots; both yielded
to the same ambition both succumbed to the
same fate!
Hancock apparently well one day, the next,
says the World, " is sinking step by STEP like
person descending pair of stairs"
Governor Seymour, says the associated press,
has been gradually failing for eight years.
Both men, though of entirely different tenn
permanent. yield to common fate.
Hancock's case was discovered by an eminent
physician at the very last moment to be beyond
help, because, back of the malignant ulcer in
his neck, was disorder which made living
impossible.
Governor Seymour's life for eight years has
been feeble, as the associated press says, because
of a serious attack of renal Inflammation some
time ago, and his death therefrom has only been
a question of time!
Both Hancock and Seymour might have
lived many years had they known and rec
ognized the fact that they were each of them
victims of a dangerous kidney disorder, and
treated themselves successfully, as they might
have done, by the great scientific specific,
Warmers safe cure. Well might a we'll known
physician excam 4" | sometimes think people
would never die if their kidneys were always
sound"
An eminent New York physician says:
Hancocks kidneys stopped excreting urea"
No wonder he died, for 400 grains of this hor-
rible blood posOner should be passed out by the
kidneys every day; if they fail, disease runs
riot through the whole system and death is in
evitable. Deaths from kidney disorders are of
the commonest occurrence among all classes
but are more noticeable in these two cases, be-
cause of the prominence of the victims. Thou
sands of cases of needless death, aye, of actual
suicide and homicide occur every year, because
people and physicians fail to give proper atten-
tion to the only blood purifiers in the system.
These two cases, occurring SO strikingly near
each other, originating in a common source, and
eventuatng in a common fate, ought to arouse
the people to the necessity of allowing no sea-
son to pass without taking few bottles of the
great specific alluded to, which is the only
remedy known that has direct power and con-
troll over these great organs, not only prevent
ing and curing the diseases to which they are
subject, but also preventing and curing the
many, many diseases which would never exist
if these organs " were always sound"

The First to Enter Chattanooga.

To THE EDITOR: must differ with Mai.
John II. Bohn in his assertion that tho 92d III.
was the first to enter the town of Chattanooga
after its evacuation. He truly says that " some

l undertake to say that they succeeded in do
ing it, too. well remember the boys swim
ming the river. Wagners Brigade was the
first to plant the flag in the town, and for that
honor the brigade was assigned to garrison duty
in Chattanooga, and Col George w. Leonard,
Of the 57th, was appointed Provost Marshal,
and the 57th was assigned to duty as provost
guards, and held that position until the latter
part of October.-JoHN w. WILSON, Second
