were expecting to be charged on when a report
of a rifle directly on our front caused Serg't

NATIONAL TRIBUNE WASHINGTON G. THURSDAY AUGUST

Gus courage, marching into Pennsylvania, and
Gen, Hooker trying TO head him off, but rather
behind than ahead of the enemy, this check 10
Gen. Lee was q Godsend. and but for it no one
can tell what would have been the result.
Let US give Gen. Milroy the credit due him
while living, and though an old man now may
he feel that there are many who believe he
achieved q great victory even in defeat
The following brief sketch of the military
life of Gen. Milroy is from the pen of Mai. ].
o, Cravens. his Chief Of STAT, now Of Versailles,
Ind:
Gen. Milroy at the outbreak Of the rebel
lion was an unassumlug citizen of Rensselaer,,
Ind. practicing law When the news of the
firing upon Fort Sumter reached that place
about dusk, Mr. Milroy visited every business
house and Office in the town, announcing that
he would ring the courthouse bell at o'clock
the next morning, and all who wished to go
with him to indianapolis to tender their sery-
ices to the Government to assemble at that
hour. The bell rung on time; the courthouse
was filled, and 1913 Of u.s. including Mr. Miiroy,
went TO indianapolis that day-the 14th of
April, 1S6i,-and rendered our services to Gov.
III. $. Lane, the then Governor of Indiana.
He (Lane) said he had no authority then from
the President to raise troops, but was expecting
such authority every hour. Milroy took Us 10
the hotels of the city, and we remained there
until the proclamation calling for the $4,000
men for the three months service was issued.
The 9Th lad. was then organized, aud Mil
roy was made its Colonel At the end of the
three months the regiment came home, and
in go days was reOrganjzed, and before leaving
our camp, Milroy was commissioned Briga-
dier-General and took the field receiving his
Major Generals commission at Winchester.
Both promotions were for his general zeal and
sterling qualities as a soldier; that his conduct
st Winchester was of the noble, soldierly char
acter aud for it he should have been compli-
mented instead of being censured and dishonor-
ed as he was. But for his persistence and
bravery for those three days, there would have
been no Gettysburg, and it is only matter of
conjecture what dire calamity would have be-
fallen the Army of the Potomac" -. L. AN

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Not being

(only having attained to the rank of First Ser
geant), of course such men are not very great
when put alongside of shoulder-straps, especi-
ally in these later days when the officers ION
paper did all the fighting, while we would
think from description given that the soldiers
only looked on and enjoyed themselves Now,
officers were very useful in planning, and some
times not very useful in this, as witness first
and second Bull Ran battles. /, for one am
about tired of all this trash. Give the rank
and file equal justice, and let the officers have
all that rightfully belongs to them.
AS to matters Of pensions, there is the same
inequality sticking out again. Why is ali Off
Ger entitled to higher rating for the same
disability than a private? Was he more ex-
posed or did it hurt him worse to lose an arm
or legP / cannot see that one suffered more
than the other. There are many things in
our pension laws and rulings of the Pension
Office that are very hard for me to compre-
bend, but think that if the hand or foot is
gone, whether the amputation is two or four
inches below or above the elbow or knee, the
pension should be the same, and not as now, a
difference of So per month";. l. CRATsEN-

Northern Idaho to the people thereof
There had been, be said, vast amour,
of adjudication in the question, and the
weight Of authority was decidedly against
such delegation OF legislation to popular
election, for this vas nothing else. Il
it was right that that part Of Idaho
territory should be cut OF and annexed
to Washington state, it should be done
by congress, and not subject to all the
chances of a popular election.
Dolph supported the bill.
CulIom favored the immediate admis
sion of the new state, but opposed
annexation of a portion of Idaho. lie

OF both political parties Of the territory
against proposed dismemberment, and
also resolution Of thanks of IDAHO

vetoed, by pockc,ing, the bill of last
congress, adding four northern counties
Of Idaho to the territory of Washington.
He also read letter from the governor
Of Idaho to himself, expressing con-
viction that the Senate would not attempt
to divide that territory, against the
memorial Of its legislature, and against
the protests of both political parties, and
backed BY, at least, nine-ten,hs Of the
population of Idaho. He declared it was
not right, after twenty-five years of the
privations that belong to frontier life, to
say to the people of Idaho, just as they
are beginning to see daylight dawn in
the east, and to be entitled to admission
as state, Eve will take off 5000
square miles Of your area and 10000 Of
your population. and VIC will attach them
to some other territory and put you back
twenty years longer" He hoped the
bill reported by Stewart from the ma
Jority Of the committee would not pass
the Senate, but that the substitute
offered by himself on the part Of the
minority. which simply proposed to
admit Washington Territory with its
existing boundaries, would be passed.
Stewart read a large Member of
resolutions, letters and statements in
support of the annexation of North
Idaho, and said that nature had made
these four counties, which which are !: III: .h,ee
