Alabama and the prairies of the West, boys, and
let the readers of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE

much and as gallant service as any organiza-
tion in the grand old Army of the Tennessee.
Write, boys and tell our comrades ofthe murder
of the gallant Capt. Cameron and his brave
comrades on the banks of Bear Creek; of the
annihilation of the regiment in the hills of
North Carolina; of the fights aud frolics around
Rome, Ga; of the skirmishes, fights and fun on
the march to Savannah, and of the hardships,
hard fighting aud mud we went through under
the brave Fitzpatrick through the Carolinas.
We started on that campaign "a years ago, and,
like Harper's horse-race, it surely was fight
from end to end" Write up the fight near
Fayetteville, N. c., where our little Third Bril-
gade fought and routed the three rebel divis-
ions of Hampton, Butler and Hume. / would

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue of
the 3lst ult appears the heading The Battle
of Franklin Again"
COmrade Russell is mistaken in the regiment.
It was the 44th instead of the 10th Mo. Col.
Bradshaw was the commander. He organized
the regiment in northwest Missouri, most of
his men coming from the Counties near st.
Joseph. My father, Hanson H. Ware and my
uncle, John ii. Ware, were in Co. c. If l re-
member correctly, Franklin was their first
battle The 44th was attached to Gen. Smiths
command, and was sent south after the battle
Of Nashville 1t went to New Orleans and to
Mobile; also was at the taking of Spanish Fort,
if | am not mistaken.
Will not some Of the men Of the 44th make
themselves known? Do not hesitate to make it
known that such regiment existed.-SAslUEL

Warrants Out for Many Arrests-ExcitinE
Scenes in the Dog Pit.
The persons who took a prominentpart in the
dog dght at McKee's Rocks on Tuesday night
are likely to get into a peck o. trouble. Agent
O'Brien of the Humane Society, has taken out
warrants for the arrest of about dozen of the
men that we're directly interested the battle.
The agent has the names of about l3 and it is
understood that constables went after ]. T.
Daily. Ed Smith, NJ. Roach, - Swinney,
Paddy Rossiter and John Csllan last evening.
The battle was ons of the worst that has
taken place in Western Pennsylvania, aud
ended in a general row. AT one time serious
results were expected. The fight was between
Daly's dog, Sailor JacS, and Ed Smiths Yellow
Jack, and the purse was about $780, The bet
ting, however, was brisk. opening at $40 to IS
and closing at tn on the Sailo-. Each dog
weighed about S6A pounds. and fully $1,000
were invested on the result. The regular rules
of dog fighting were discarded and scratch"
rules agreed to, iu which fouls were allowed.
During the first scratch Sailor Jack made his
yellow namesake jump out of the pit and when
he was taken back the Sailor commenced to
chew him up. In the second9scratch, no fouls
being permitted. Sailor Jack was let go as soon
as the word ready" was given and he pounced
on the other Jack. who was lying in his corner
almost dead. Yellow Jack revived little and
the two dogs tore away at each other all over
the pit. Sailor was having the best of it, when
about 80 spectators jumped into the pit and
seized the dogs, tearing them from each other.
DAILY loudly shouted for fair play. but he was
soon hustled out of sight in a somewhat bat
tered condition. The referee failed to secure a
clear pit and had TO declare all bets of. he
reserved his decision regarding the two dogs
until to-day The resolve of the referee alone
prevented a very serious row. as there were
about 80 men present with liquor on their
stomach and blood in their eye.
The arrangements for the battle between
Sullivan and Jack the Ripper have been COM
pleted. The dogs will fight for $500 side, out
side the State, Oh March IL.

Question Can be Settled.

he States How the Scuiling Championship
Question Can be Settled.
Relative to the controversy concerning the
title of the worlds championship for sculling,
William O'Connor writes as follows:
sIR-I wish to settle all controversy regarding
the sculling championship Of the world, now la
mentally vacant through the death OF Henry
Ernest Searls. There is but one way to do this,
and that is to have a race.
Now James Stansburv, the most prominent
claimant in Australia. has announced his inten-
tiOn Of visiting America; while John Teemer who
has avOwed his intention Of going to Australia,
asserts that he is willing to row me or any other
man, but somewhat Inconsistency states that he
is going to sail the middle of next month for sgd
ney, n. S. W., no matter what turn things may
take.
1t would be a great pity If both Messrs STAINS
bury and Teemer were TO carry out their an
nOnnced Intentions. In that case l should be
here to row Stansbury, while Teemer would be
there TO row Kemp. all of us being claimants to
the highest sculllng honors Of the world. Who
arriving at a decision than we at the present
moment wish to obyiate this possible difficulty
and also wish to earn the title If t is in me- and
honestly, and with Iut boasting, believe il IS
L. therefore, herewith challenge any man in the
sDd 10 r9M e deoT Fes & 1S[ ~ ~ oT more side
ing Company to make such challenge good 1
will leave this offer open for three months, and
will agree to row within three months from time
of acceptance.
If Teemer really imagines he can beat me, here
is his chance. AT any rate until he has met and
defeated me he can have no possible claim to
championship of any kind.
Hope that everybody will agree with me that
my offer is far and open one, and that il will be
considered an honest attempt to settle much
vexed question in the only way that it can be
properly decided, namely, by good. square race
have no fear of any sculIer In the world and
from this out shall consider that, matter how
many claimants may arise, man can honestly
be styled champion of the world until he has given
me race aud won the stakes. Yours. etc.,

ACTION IN THE STRIKE DEFERRED

Until the Committee of Organized Labor
Meets the Company.
General Manager Blaxter, yesterday. notified
the Committee of Labor Organizations of the
receipt Of its communication asking for a
conference on the strike. He stated that
owing to the absence of Mr. H. Westinghouse
from the city. no action could be taken on it
until his return. Hethought, however, that a
meeting could be arranged for. There are IS
men on strike. and that there are not more is
because they have not been called out Nothing
will be done in the matter now until the COM
mittee representing the organizations has
conferred with the company.
In regard to the strike Secretary McGonni-
gle, Of the company, said:
You see this stack OF lettersP They are applica-
dons for work from men all over the country. A
number of them. particularly those in Chicago,
New York, Rhiladelphia and Buffalo are expert
ness. We have engaged ten of them. They will
be here tomorrow. The men are professional
carbon settlers, and when they are put to work the
strike will be a thing of the past. The committee
from the strikers called to see me this morning
Mr.. Blaxter waited upon them, but in the absence
Mr.. Westinghouse is out of the CITY, but It is not
at all likely that he will interfere.
One OF the applications have is from sailor
who says he has served three years on the United
States steamer Kearsage. He says he is an expert
at climbing masts, aud probably thinks the elec-
our lamps will be lit tonight, and the public
will suffer no Inconvenience from the strike. The
trouble was i'll advised and the men should have
known better.
