Edwin Howes, Co. K, Goth Ill, Newark, Ill.,,
lost his discharge from his first three-years'
service at the battle of Atlanta, where nearly
all his regiment were taken prisoners. They
were on that part of the line directly east of
Atlanta, afterward known as Leggett's Bald
Knob His discharge did not fall into the
hands of the rebels, as they only held that
| position for a few minutes, and his knapsack,
| in which was his discharge, was covered up
! with dirt as they had placed everything that
would stop bullet in front of them. Any
comrade having his discharge will please re-
! turn it to him.
Our Constituents.
| John z. Carrigan, Lewiston, Me-, thanks
| THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for the earnest man
| ner in which we have urged upon Congress the
necessity of more pension legislation for the
! soldiers, and wishes US still greater prosperity
| than ever. With our efforts aud with the help
of the GAR. he thinks something ought to be
| done in the matter before the expiration of the
/ 50th Congress.
John H. Bartlett, of the 18th, 120th and 145th
| Ind Potts Station, Pope Co., Ark, says: Il
! have been nearly totally blind for four years
/ cannot see to read. though my daughter reads
| for me, and | expect to take THE NATIONAL
| TRIBUNE as long as | have my hearing, be-
cause think it is the best paper published, be-
| sides being the soldiers friend. / have been
trying for one year to get new subscriber to
! THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, but | find that the
ex-Union soldiers are so scarce in this part of
! Dixie that | have not succeeded in getting one
as yet"
James F. Castle, Sergeant Co. G, 18th KY,
| Monte Vista, Colo, thinks THE NATIONAL
! TRIBUNE should receive the support of every
man who wore the blue and suffered that the
| Union might be preserved, as it is undoubtedly
| the champion of the soldier. He would like to
! see something from the SD and 49th Ind, 10th
and 42d Ohio and 14th Ky. They served gal
| lantly in the Army of the Cumberland, and
| should toot their horns once in a while, to let
people know that some of them are still alive.
H. M. Davis, Co. b. SD H., Wapello Iowa,
! thanks fIIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for the inter
| est we have taken in the veterans behalf He
| would as soon do without his ratons as his
| paper. The Post to which he belongs own the

| is in the same building In cleaning the post
| office ashort time ago over 80 sample copies Of
| THE NATIONAL tribune were found among the
rubbish, although plainly directed to old SOL
| diers in the County. He thinks there should
be law to punish such officials.
