CAPT. BYRON WILSON.
His work on the HisslssipoI River.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | see by the
daily papers that the U. S. man-of-war Brook
Ign, with broken shaft is sailing for New
York from the China station.
The Brooklyn is under command of Capt
Byron Wilson, an officer of the old Navy, who
was ordered West in 1862, with other officers,
to report to Flag Officer Andrew ii. Foote, and
assist him in making tars out of the West
ern land lubbers." And right we'll they did
their work, as the victories of the Western
fotilla testify. Capt. Byron Wilson, U. s. n,
had the reputation in the Mississippi Squadron
of being as brave and gallant man as ever
trod the quarterback. In the Spring of 1868
he was in command of the Mound City, and
passed the batteries at Vieksburg on the night
of April Is. About month later he intro
duced the Mound City to Whistling Dick, 1.-THE
heaviest gun on the Vicksburg hills,) and that
was the last of Dick
In 1864 he was in command of the Ouiehita,
and participated in the Red River expedition.
After the fall of Fort De Russy, the Ouichita,
being the swiftest vessel in the fleet, was the
first to reach Alexandria The rebel army was
evacuating, and few shells from our Long
Tom" accelerated their movements muchly.
We then anchored and waited for the fleet
During the night the enemy tried to burn
us out by floating ire-rafts down the river, but
with our pumps we aYerted all danger from
the fleet below.
The next morning we landed, pieketed the
town, and waited for the troops.
will say in conclusion that we thoroughly
enjoyed this bit of soldering and we were all
sorry when Gen. Mower reached Alexan-
dria, and we were sent back to our hammocks.

Naval Veterans Pass Resolutions on Buffers
Charges.
Naval Post No. 400, of Philadelphia, Pa, of
which Admiral Porter is a member in good
standing on Wednesday evening last took very
decided action in favor of their shipmate in
the controversy now going on between him
and Gen. Butler relative to the charge of cow
ardice which the General recently made against
the Admiral A committee, consisting of Ship
mates ]. Teal j. F. Naekie, James E. Boyle
and Solomon Pinhero, reported the following
resolutions which were adopted unanimously:
Whereas the attention of the public at large has
been drawn by the newspaper press throughout
the country to the charges made by Gen Il f. But
Ter OF cowardiee on the part of Admiral Porter at
the time of the operations against New Orleans, IN
which operations both officers were conspicuous,
the other military Governor after the fighting
had ceased and the city had been captured by the
naval forces and placed under his command; and
Whereas much public interest has been aroused
by said charge brought after the lapse OF so many
years; and
Whereas many of the members of this Post were
serving at the time in the naval vessels under Far
ragut and Porter in the operations leading to the
passage OF Forts ST. Philip and jackson, the capt

results before and after the capture, and are able
to bear competent testimony as to the historical
facts involved. and feeling that the charge ts q re-

men of the Union navy: Therefore, be it
Resolved, That consider the charge as being
without the slightest foundation; in fact, malicious,
unwarranted and unworthy of the utteranee OF a
Union soldier.
ResoIred That Admiral Porter's conduct and
services were worthy in all respects OF the eorr-
try'S gratitude, which has been officially mani
tested, and of his historic ancestors, and needs no
defense from his shipmates or other friends:
ReSotced, That n copy of these resolutions be

Georgia Superstition.
columbus ca Enquirer Sun. |

A practical illustration of the superstition of
a darby living on Maj. Bacon's place, near Al
bany, will serve to show that they have not yet
given up many of their old-time theories.
Mai. Bacon has little Texas pony that for
some time has been very poor. One of the
darkies on the place, named Jim Ford, and
calling himself DR.. Ford, said that the horse
was being ridden by witches at night He was
asked to explain how he know such to be the
case, and promptly said that the tangled con-
dition of the name betrayed it, He was told
to cure the trouble if he could, and at once
began to comb out the name. Ridiculous as il
may seem, as soon as the doctor" began tc
give his attention TO the horses name the
animal began to gain flesh.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
The Most GIeantie Snindle Of the Ace.

More than 10000 lives have been sacrificed
and nearly $200,000,O00 spent already in the
building of one Of the most gigantic engineer
ing enterprises ever before undertaken in the
world during the past eight years by NJ. de
Lesseps, and yet not more than oDe-third Of
the canal has been completed. That there has
been shameless deception and robbery of the
patriotic people of France, who have contrib
uted most if not all of the money for the canal
cannot now be doubted. At least two-thirds of
the money subscribed has been stolen, and
thousands Of poor men and women robbed of
all they possessed.
An enterprise which was noble in its pur-
poses and which would be a blessing to the
whole world. has been perverted into means
whereby rogues could rob their fellow-men.
The canal project has shamefully collapsed, and
will forever be a blot upon the projectors there
of, and thousands of the Woodworking people OF
France viii curse the day they ever heard OF
III. de Lesseps and his Panama canal enterprise.

wisconsIn,s recognition of Her Old soldiers.

1t is a Unknown fact that the Badger State
has provided for her living old soldiers but not
content with this recognition. Senator L. E.
Pond introduced bill in February last to pro-
vide for the construction of a Soldiers Memo
rial Hall, and making contingent apprOpria-
ton therefor. According to the provisions of
the bill, the Governor, Treasurer and Attorney
General of the State together with two persons
selected by the Council of Administration of
the Department of Wisconsin, GAR, with two
surviving soldiers of Wisconsin, not members
of the GAR, to be appointed by the Governor,
besides two persons to be selected by the State
Historical Society, are constituted Board of
Commissioners to erect suitable building at
the State Capital to be known as The Wiscon-
sin Memorial Hail." A part of this building is
to be set aside for the permanent free exhibit
ton of relics of the late war; together with por
traits busts. ETC., of the States veterans while
the State Historical Society will occupy another
portion of the building. There is little doubt
but that the bill will become law.

The Fertilizer Dealers In South
Carolina Becoming Uneasy.
A Baltimore Sun special from
Charleston, s. c., Wednesday says |:
The situation as to trusts seems about
to be reverted In South Carolina.
For over a year the farmers in vars
ious portions ofthe State have been
engaged in organizing into societies
called Farmers Alliances. Not much
attention has been paid to these ere.
tofore, who but that the time arrived
for laying in farm supplies, especially
commercial fertilizers, it begins to
look like the farmers have themselves
organized a SORT Of trust or combine,
principally against the fertilizer trade.
In some counties the Alliance have
combined to buy their fertilizers in
bulk from the manufacturers, most
of which are 10 this city, Baltimore,
and Wilmington, Del. In other coun.
ties they have decided to dispense
with the use of commercial fertilizers
altogether, using homemade nanures.
The effect of these combinations on
the fertilizer trade is not as yet seri-.
Gus, but dealers and manufacturers
are uneasy, and it is not improbable
that there will be far-reaching
changes in the business ere long. and
through the influence of the Far
mers' Alliance.
