The Locomotive.

The General, /" the historic locomotive, made
famous by the Mitchell Raiders reached Co
lumbus Sunday and was put On exhibition near
the depot. Readers OF " Capturing a Locomo-
tive" viii remember its history; how party
Of MitchelPs men passed through the rebel
lines and ran of with the train while the pas
sengers were at breakfast, and started back for
Chattanooga with the intention of burning all
the railroad bridges in the heart of Georgia and
shutting off the possibility of moving Braggs
army against BuelFs contemplated movements
south. Through unforeseen circumstances the
expedition failed, and after wild chase Of over
100 miles "The General" gave out, and the
raiders took 70 the mountains. All were hunted
down and captured. Seven were hung and
finally, after many months in rebel prisons, the
rest were exchanged.
The survivors Of the party met at Columbus
and visited The General" who did duty for
the Confederacy all through the war after the
thrilling adventures of the raid. The engine
has stood the wear and tear Of life well, con
sidering all it has been through. The marks
Of bullets are still to be seen on the tender and
the jacket is somewhat battered, but it still
looks as though it would run.
The scene as the raiders gathered around
their old friend was touching, and tears glist.
ened in the eyes Of the veterans as they dis
cussed the wonderful run they made upon and
behind it p years ago.

The Naval Veterans.

4 meeting of the veterans of the Navy was
held Monday night in the Senate Chamber
al the State House. S. E. Brown, of Columbus,
called the meeting to order and p. i. johnson
was made Chairman. After complimentary
speeches had been made by both gentlemen,
the business of the meeting was taken up,
which was the presentation Of memorial of
the GAR for representation in that body,
and requested also that an anchor be made of
one of the badges, and asking further that the
words sailor and marine" be inserted wher-
ever the word soldier" occurred in the ritual.
Commodore Hatfield, of New York, spoke
for a short time and was loudly cheered. He
was Endorsed for Junior Vice Commander of
the Grand Army, provided a Western man
should be chosen CCmmauder-in- Chief; I. l..
johnson, of Chicago, was Endorsed in case an
Eastern man should be chosen. 1t was stated
that there was $4,000 sailors and marines in
the ranks Of the GAR, and they feel that
they should not be ignored in the election of
officers.
Resolutions were adopted that a naval monu-
ment should be erected at Washington, and
that sailors and marines be placed upon an
equal footing in all future legislation, in re-
gard to the war. There were present repre-
sentatives of 10 associations, among whom were
Commodore Hatfield, of New York, and Secre-
tary Vim. Simmons, of Philadelphia, and Pay
master Grove, Of New York from the National
Association of Naval Veterans. There were
also a large number of veterans of the Navy
who were not connected with any organiza-
tiou
The National tribune., 1888-09-20

A large and deeply-interested crowd gathered
at the west front of the State House Wednes-
day evening at the Campfire of the Mitchell
Andrews Raiders, whose exploits are told in
that graphic narrative by the Rev. VIM. Pit
tenger, entitled Capturing a Locomotive, :"
which is published by THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE. Mr. Pittenger was the first speaker. He
narrated the events connected with the raid,
briefly showing how it had a depressing effect
upon the COnfedeTates and a correspondence
good effect upon the Union soldiers. He then
introduced Capt VIM. A. Fuller, of Atlanta,
Ca, who was the conductor of the train which
they captured, and who chased them down on
the Yonah, an engine which he happened to
find at the junction of branch road near Big
Shanty all ready fred up. Capt. Fuller was
received cordially, aud went into the details of
the affair 10 prove that had the raiders sue
eeeded a disastrous blow would have been
struck to the cause Of the Confederacy.
He also described the pursuit and capture of
the men, and the subsequent execution Of part
of the number. His narrative of the fortitude
Of the men and their suferings was listened to
with profound interest, and he told of the cir
cumstanCes attending the execution with a
lucidity that brought out every horrible detail.
Capt. Fuller made a sensation by declaring
that one of the number, George u. Wilson, Of
the ID Ohio, made confession" or Estate
ment" on the scaffold, the effect of which was
10 Justify the execution, and that whatever il
was, which, by the way, be did not explain, it
was acguiesced in by his companions.
Capt. Daniel A. Dorsey, of Kearney, Neb.,
one Of the survivors. spoke next. He said that
from the moment the raid was planned or the
capture effected the raiders held that they
were Union soldiers who had simply volunteer
ed toldo hazardous service. He had always
held that they could not be legally executed
IS spies, but were entitled to treatment as sol
dieTs Capt Dorsey said he was not there to
contradict the statements Of Capt. Fuller, but
10 do justice to the memory of Wilson. Infor-
nation direct from other witnesses of the
tragedy was TO the effect that none of the men
admitted they were spies, but claimed that they
were soldiers on hazardous duty simply, and
entitled to treatment as such. They did not
enter Confederate camp, but merely tried t.
destroy the bridges to prevent the reinforce
meut OF Chattanooga, or to send supplies tC
their armies III Tennessee and Mississippi over
! the Western & Atlantic Railway.

Decorations.

The city of Columbus was certainly in holt
day attire during Encampment week. Not
only was every public building adorned with
red, white and blue bunting, but flags foated
from every window, every corner and every
store in the city. Private houses, throughout
the length of entire streets without exception,
were festoonod and garlanded with red, white
and blue, while flags of various sizes hung
from the lintels of doors and windows, way
ing one unanimous welcome to the visitors.
The Union Depot was literally covered with
small banners, some with the representation
of the Grand Army badge and bearing the
legend, Welcome, Comrades!" This, too, was
a very popular flag in business houses, and in
some form adorned almost every front. Small
white flags, upon which were printed the
badges of the various Army Corps, also abound
ed. Many collections were practically perfect
from one end of the list to the other High
street, the principal avenue of the city, was
illuminated in a gorgeous manner by arches of
gas jets thrown over the street. with double
rows of lights carrying colored globes, and
presenting an appearance, when lighted up in
the evening, that would have done credit to a
Partisan boulevard. So universal was this
display of the National cOlors, that Judge
Humans house was conspicuous by the alb
sence of any decoration, and some Of the vet
Grams who called upon him felt indignant at
this lack of attention on the part Of the " Old
Roman"
The National tribune., 1888-09-20

They were mostly from 10 to 81 years of age.
The speaker was very eloquent on the subject
OF the good which resulted from the war. He
declared that the contest had established peace,
and it had been done by the fathers of these
boys and their comrades.
Commander-in-C Chief Abbott, of the Sons of
Veterans; Capt. II. T. Twitchell, of Hamilton,
O.. and Department Commander O'Neal spoke
briefly.
Gen. W. II. Gibson made Characteristic adj
dress, which was cheered to the echo, as he re-
viewed the events of the war and made peril
nent illusions to the current topics of the day.
Gov. Foraker was called upon, but said il was
too late to make a speech. But he did inger
long enough to tell an anecdote of the day be-
fore. He said that himself and Mrs Gen
Logan, the noblest woman in America, were
standing at his gate viewing the column Of
Sons Of Veterans rs they passed, and she turned
TO him and said: i have no fears for the
future Of my country"

Western Army signal Corns,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Cannot some
one of the old members of the Signal Corps
serving in the Western Army give the readers
of the soldiers paper" short history of the
gallant deeds of daring performed by that little
band of boys in blue, especially after we in
vaded Louisiana in 1864? Think of the time
we had in the salt marshes below New Orleans
near the mouth of the Mississippi, watching for
the rebel ram Tennessee, which never came,
and how we hunted coon, etc, on the narrow
strip of land between the river and gulf; and
then of orr return to the city and our excursion
up Red River in search of the rebel Dick Tay-
lor, and of how we found him on the 9Th day
of April, 1864, at Sabine Crossroads, or Mans
field. Yes, we found him; and he found us
with our wagon-train on the skirmish-line, of
which he took possession, although he kindly
permitted the greater part of the men to get
away. for which we were duly thankful 1t
would be good reading for the boys; pretty old
boys, though, some of them are by this time, no
doubt. Wesaved our bacon onthat occasion by
the skin of our teeth. And then please remem-

Badges.

Probably there never before was a gathering
Of any description which was so variegated and
decorated with a miscellaneous collection of
badges, significant of almost everything to the
veterans but calculated to hopelessly confuse
the uuinitiated. To begin with, there was the
regulation GAR. badge the gorgeous button
OF the Loyal Legion, the bronze button Of the
Grand Army, and the crosses of the vari-
GUS army societies. Then each Department
had its own badge and each regimental or
brigade organization also furnished its spe-
cial device Of Identification. IN addition to the
ribbons, upon which were inscribed the names
Of all these organizations, whether Depart
mental, State or regimental, there was another
class which excited unusual interest and where
IN the greatest latitude was given in the way OF
novelties. For instance, the State of California
sported golden bear; the Department of
Kansas a silver grasshopper and the full-blown
sunhOwer; Wisconsin a badger; Iowa q hawks
head New Hampshire silver mountain !;
Kentucky an ear of corn done in bronze
Rhode Island silver clam, and Texas steers
head, with great branching horns, from which
hung pendant the lone star; Maine dangled a
pine cone upon the end of a siken thread, and
( Ohio by similar arrangement displayed the
! Buckeye, and Connecticut nutmeg. Then,
] too there was the regular Encampment dele

Chart Of the Grand Army Of the Republic.

Our indefatgable cOmrade, Richard ". Surby,
whom the readers Of The NATIONAL Tribune
viii remember as the gallant and skiliful scout
for Gen. Grierson during his famous raid
through Mississippi and Louisiana, has gotten
out fnely-mOunted chart Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic and its loyal supporters. IN
derneath a centerpiece made Of fest0oned flags,
with the Grand Army Of the Republic badge
in the center, are excellent photographs Of
President Lincoln and Gen. Grant, surrounded
by photographs of sherman, Sheridan, Custer
and other distinguished soldiers in the war,
together with the members of LIucoln's Cabi-
net. Further down are medallion photographs
of the COmmanders-in-C Chief Of the GAR,
with the immortal Logan in the center, and
beneath these are portraits Of the Presidents Of
the WOmanis Relief Corps, the chief men in the
Sons Of Veterans, and others who were prOnli-
nent in the war and in these organizations.
The corps badges, in eOlors, form an apprO-
PIRATE border with spirited pictures Of army
scenes. The whole is mounted on linen, with
rollers, and makes an admirable ornament for
a Post room or Otice, or parlOr. Accompany
ing it is a little pamphlet giving a sketch Of
the organization and history Of the g. r., the
Sons of Veterans, the WOman's Relief Corps, the
formation of the corps, and other valuable in
formation relative to the rebellion. The chart
has received the highest praise from host OF
prominent men and comrades who have seen
il, and it is diliic1It to show where il could
have been improved or made more interesting.
1t is published by SuTby, Manchester & PEBBLES,
