slightly wounded three times that day. and
kept my place in tho ranks until just before
the retreat, when ! Was hit by eannou-bail in
the right arm, striking ii Just above the elbow,
completely seyefing it from the body, with tho
exception Of n small piece OF skin, which cut
with my knife. The shot, which was 81.
pound solid shot, passed my breast and took of
all the clothes clear 10 the skin. l was then
taken prisoner aud held nearly four months
and half. aud we were kept starved by order
of Jefferson Davis, so as 90 unfit us for any
further military duty. and only provided with
provisions enough 90 keep tho breath Of life
in us, with what we could buy with the money
we had.
We were confined in Libby Prison and Castle
Thunder without medical attendance, unless
some OF our doctors who were Masons could
get permits TO come In aud see as or some Of
the rebel Surgeons happened 10 take u fancy
TO experiment on some poor fellow. and then
they would come In aud cut and slash To their
hearts content. II some poor wretch happened

no possible chance of escape, he was greeted
with bullet through the head, IL tho guard
was marksman enough TO hit him. The day
that ! was captured | weighed 40 pounds !;
after had been out fattcnng up three weeks /

Now what wish to know is, how we have
been paid for such suffering by the Govern
mcnt that paid 100000 for the capture of that
Same Jefferson Days,and for the purpose of feed
ing him and providing for his wants better than
he could have Jared at any hotel in the land z
l will answer. They paid AZ Sl3 per month in
paper money when that was worth only so
cents on the dollar. Aud after we were dis
charged they gave some of us 50 a month on
which 10 support ourselves and feed aud cl0the
our families. Now, ii we had not been perma-
nently disabled by tho loss OF a leg or an arm,
we might have had reissue before this, as our
pensions have been raised from time to time,
20 pay us for the piuGhing and starving that we
were compelled 10 endure while drawing only
s. per month pension. All other classes OF
pensioners can have IA reissue except those who
have lost limb; while Generals wives, who
arc worth an independent fortune in their own
right can have pension OF $500 or more

Amendments to the Deficiency Bill
The Tariff.

day proceeded to consideration Of the de-
ficiency bill, and a number of committee
amendments were agreed to.
Amendments appropriating an aggrega to
Of $l29. 1sS for part of the French spoilia-
ton claims were opposed by Mr.. Plumb,
who denounced the claims as essentially
fraudulent and as intended not for the
benefit of the claimants, but OF their at
torneys and assgnees.
The amendments were defended and ad-
vocated by Messrs Hale, Blair and Morgan,
and were agreed to by vote of 81 ayes to
12 nays The bill was reported back to the
Senate, and all the amendments that were
agreed to by committee of ths whole were
agreed to in bulk, the only one reserved for
a special vote being that inserting an item
of SAC, 900 to complete the investigation by
the department of agriculture as TO under
flow and artesian waters for irrigation. The
amendment was discussed for nearly two
hours, and was eventually agreed to by a
vote of 80 yeas to 10 nays.
PRICE OF TELEPHONE INSTRUMENTS.
Mr. Morgan offered an amendment pro-
hibiting any officer of the government pay
ing more than $50 year or 81 so quarter
for telephone instrument in the District
to. The bill was then passed.
Mr.. Quay asked Mr.. Aldrich to consent to
let the tariff bill stand over for the present,
in order that the Senate might take up the
bill to transfer the revenue marine to the
naval establishment.
Mr.. Aldrich regretted that he could not
yield to that request.
THE TARIFF BILL TAKEN UP.
The tariff bill was then taken up, the
pending question being on Mr.. Plumb's
amendment reducing the duty on tin plate
from 2 1-5c pound to one cent, and pro-
viding for bounty of one cent per pound
on tin plate produced in the United States
The debate took wide range upon the
general subject OF tariff protection. Mr.
Plumb began it with a speech advocating
his amendment.
He was followed by Messrs. Mcpherson,
Gray, Aldrich and Carlisle, with occasional
interjections by Mr.. Blair.
Without coming to vote on Mr.. Plumb's
amendment the bill was laid aside and the
Senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18-In the Senate
this morning Senator Plumb offered a res
olution instructing the committee on rules
to make such orders as will prevent the sale
of spirituous, vinous or malt liquors in the
Senate wing Of the capitol.
Mr. Blair suggested the insertion OF the
words land drinking"
Mr.. Plumb have no objection.
Mr.. Gorman-Let the resolution go over,
1t went over till tomorrow.
The resolutions made the Senate first stare
and then laugh this morning. There was
really small sized sensation for moment
or two. There may be another Tomorrow
if the matter Is pressed. There was much
inquiry as to what started Mr.. Plumb up,
for it is well known that he has no personal
prejudiceagainst buying or drinking intoxi-
cants Inthe Senate wing, and the fact
that he Is from a state
having prohibition laws furnished no
reason for the s ecial outburst. IL trans
pires tonight that Senator Plumb was per-
sonally so displeased with the incoherent
report OF a recent republican senatorial
caucus that he was moved 20 preserve the
senator who gave IL out from further temp
tation at the Senate. Senator Blair 10 said
10 have the same motive.
