Correcting the Cannonser.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the third
chapter Of the "Story of CanHoneer," pub
lished in your issue Of Oct. "a, the author says
"It was probably o'clock when Cutters
Brigade had passed, and then we got the order
to march, following these Troops closely. By
this time the leading regiments of Wadsworths s
infantry had got on the ground. aud the sounds
OF battle were increasing rapidly; Wadsworth's
Division, of which the Iron Brigade formed
tho head of column, had encountered the
dough boys of Lees advance"
This statement contains an error slight, in
deed, but still an error. On the march from
Emmitsburg TO Marsh Creek, June 30, the
First (or Iron) Brigade led the Division. On
July the Second Brigade under Cutler, led
the advance; SO if Stewards battery - followed
Cutler closely" it was in advance Of the Iron
Brigade. The first infantry regiment of the
Army OF the Potomac to enter the State was
the 10Th N. Y. under Maj. Grover, followed in
order by the seth Pa, commanded by Breyet
Brighten. J. w. Hofmaun; 147th n. Y, Lieut.
Col. +. g. Miller; 14th Brooklyn. Brevet Brig
Gen. Il. b. Fowler, and the 95th n. Y, under
Maj. Edward Pye. The 10th n. Y, J6th Pa,
and 147th n. Z. formed on the right Of the
railroad cut, facing west in the order indicated,
and the action was begun by the 5Gth Pa, fol-
lowed inM@ntly by the rest of the command.
The Second Brigade was very proud of Stew
arts battery, and supported it in action as often
as any other troops. So entertaining an article
as the STORY Of a Cannoneer dcrsrves to | ,
historically correct to contribute to that end
this correction is oifered.-E. Z. GEAHAM, 56th
Pa, Grand Pass, No.
tComrade Graham Is correct The author
himself. however, had noticed the error, and
had suggested a correction, namely, that he
should have said "the battery, together with
Steyens's and Coopers batteries, marched with
Doubleday's Division, then under Rowiey.
Also. that Cutters Brigade fled out from Marsh
Creek ahead of the Iron Brigade though there
but little difference in time of their getting
heavily ngaged."-EDIToR NATIONAL TRIB-

She works Cor him and serves him even as his

BOUNCED 1870 TIMES.
Beating His Way Across the Continent on o $500
WaRpr.

wager.
Kansas City Stdr1
A man arrived in Kansas City this morning
on the California express of the Sante Fe Rail-
road who has travelled on railroads across the
continent without having paid penny for
transportation and without having pass.
A little over three months ago Alfred Senter,
of Sommersville, Mass. and l.. B. Griffin, of
Lowell wagered 81 800 Senter 20 win the money
if he succeeded in beating" his way from
Boston TO San Francisco and back, and lose the
wager if he paid fare while en- route. Edward
Il. Locke, tho referee was to accompany Senter,
and bis expenses were TO be bOrno by the loser.
Senter and Locke arrived in Kansas City this
morning Senter is q hunchback and appears
to be about 80 years of age. Seuter said: I'VE
started out on the evening of July on the
Boston & Albany Railroad and got to Albany
without being put off. My troubles began on
the New York Central Railroad. j was put of
three times the first day, and of course, Locke
had TO go with me. Owing TO my deformity
was not treated harshly. Fifteen times l was
put off trains between Albany aud Buffalo.
Between Buffalo aud Chicago. on the Michigan
Southern, concocted tale of robbery, aud on
promise TO pay at Detroit was not molested.
In order TO deceive tho officials l sent u bogus
telegram 70 Chicago for money. Altogether
have been ousted from trains $50 times. On the
southern roads 10 California | was allowed to
ride long distances. At one time had 10 plead
with an old lady with tears in my eyes not to
pay my fare, as that would spoil my chances of
winning the bet. | have had several offers TO
have my fare paid, but Locko's eye was on me
and that settled it. j have had rough expert
ence and would not undertake to do 1t again
for twice the money wagered. 1t is all right
being put off in large town whore there arc
good hotels but TO be planted down in "A small
village in New Mexico with no place to so is
another thing"
The conditions of tho wager were that Senter
was TO travel in frst,class passenger coaches all
the way. Senter says he will write book
when he reaches home.

!, tendance next year. The people 81 South
Mississippi arc to be Congratulated at haE-
ing so near to them an institution Of so
much merit as the Waverly Institute OF
Byhalia.
TUE TOWN OF ByHALIA.
The town OF Byhalia is In Marshall
County, Miss, about twenty.eight miles
from Memphis, and derives It's name from
an Indian word, which means White Oak,
a wood that abounds in the neighborhood
II is an old town, and was established
some forty years. in the days when large
landed estates wero the rule, and tho
wealth OF the county divided among few
lordly owners OF the soil, condition of
things that initiated against the growth OF
interior towns Since tho war the town
seems to have,imbibed new lease Of life,
and the history OF recent years would in.
dlcate that the commercial activity Of tho
place is likely to reach very respectable
proportions, The soil OF the noighbor-
hood is rich, red clay, extremely fertile
and generously responsive TO the cutiva-
tors care. The hilly lands that stretch
for miles In the rear OF the town are nu.
merously studded with farms OF average
size, all showing evidences OF the own.
crs' thrift and prosperity. Even the
negroes have taken to becoming owners
Of tho soil and some OF them own farms Of
respectable size, while others are content
with twenty or thirty acre lots. The prin.
cipal crops arc cotton and corn and a
great many devote their attention TO stock
raising. Tho result is that the people
from whom Byhalia derives It's trade are
well-to-do farmers who are beginning 10
appreciate the advantages OF education
and abundantly able TO secure such adj
vantages TO their children. This OF course
makes Byhalia favorable locality for an
educational center, which it is fast becom-
ing, there being another school there be-
sides the Waverly Institute, which is also
enjoying large patronage. But the citi-
zens OF Byhalia are looking in other direc-
tons for expansion, aud talk OF manufac.
turing enterprises. No better place than
Byhalia could be found for extensive brick
works and manufactures of carthenware,
the clay found in the neighborhood being
admirably adapted for either purpose. In
Holly Springs there are two pottery manu-.
factories in full blast, both paying large
dividends.
The annual trade of Byhalia is already
OF lair proportions, amounting TO half
million dollars. Its annual shipments OF
cotton approximate 5000 bales, and most
OF the proceeds are spent at home. Ii
manufactures are once established there,
with tho surplus capital OF It's citizens or
that OF far-sghtod strangers its rapid
growth is assured, its proximity to Mem.
PMS being in itself no inconsiderahlo fact
in its development. n. L.

BYHALIA, Miss, June l5.-The com
mencement exercises Of the Waverly In.
stitute OF Byhalia, which have been in
progress for three days, came to conclu-
sion last night, in the presence of an audi.
ence that overhowed the seating capacity
OF tho hall where the exercises were held
and lined the walls three deep with per-
spring humanity. The doors and all
other openings were made available by
eager and interested spectators, and every
window had from three to four occupants.
People came from all directions to wit
ness the proceedings, some from distant
points in the interior, 50 great is the popu.
larity of the school aud 80 firm its hold
upon the citizens of this and adjoining
counties. There could not have been less
than 500 souls in the hall from the begin
ming TO the end OF tho program, and every
number was listened TO with attention and
interest. The following is an outline oil
the
