During the late war, and immedjaielv
utter the first battle OF Bull Run, il was
proposed that a certain distinctive medal
should be given TO soldiers who particu.
larry distinguished themselves for
bravery, the game to DO cagt from can
non captured in battle, and from this
proposition resulted the resolution of
Congress mo. 49, approved OH july 10Th
1869. On March Sd, 1868, the act was
amended in order that officers and men
Of tie navy might be included, and the
United States had finelly set value uoon

as yet this roll of honor has been made
only BY the war department, and 10 each
name representing the brAvest OF our
brave but single line h0s been given.
When and where the action ocaarred;
the regiment, or the vessel, and the rank
Of the hero; when the medal was issued,
and the plain fact AZ to why the decora-
ton was given, as in these words which
occur many times;
Capture OF flag"
II is tEue that among the department
documents appears the correspondence
which establishes the claim Of the heroes
to ccuntry'5 recognition; but it Is 40
overwhelmed by other matter as to make
excessively laborious The task of separat.
ing it from the dry detsiIs of marching
and counter marching, the passage Of
trains or contemplation Of stEategetio

During the past two years the compiler
o. these records has used every effort to
gain from the owners Of medals an &C
count Of the actions in which they were
won, and the result is that the different
stories have really been told by thoae who
alone could give ell the details.
That tlis work should appear in
public ton devoted TO the intereBts OF
young people can readily be understood
when it is learned that the majority of
those receiving the decorations were very
young men; in fact, boy of II, native
Of the state OF New Jersey, is entitled by
his individual bravery to head the list.

much he would take to keep his mouth

democratic nominees. The gentleman re-
turned word to the senders that they had
not money enough to get him to do so. Mr..
Matts is now in the Bitter Root valley,
stumping that section from ranch to ranch.
He has worked hard and faithfully and
made manly canvass, and the people are
going to see that he is elected. While the
trading of process may have some effect, it
will not be strong enough to cause his

was similar to the one used last time, ex-
ceptinR that it was bored out of solid steel
and had no blow holes, and was three
fourths instead Of ive-eiRhths Of an inch
in thickness. A twelve-ton Blakely rife
was used, similar to the two that burst in
previous experiments. The shell weighed
275 pounds and contained nine pounds of
sand instead of dynamite. The charge was
thirty pounds of hexagonal powder. The
shell was fred into sand bank at dis
tance of thirty wards, and was recovered al
most intact. The she'll was opened and

test will be made with the same shell, and
