THE BLOODY 1ooTH AGAIN.



EDITOR NATIoNAL TRIBUNE: Comrade Me-
Namar, in your issue of Sept. 25th. gave a
very graphic account of how his regiment,
which was then brigaded with mine, obtained
its title Of the Bloody l06ih H." lie may have
given the correct explanation and can testify
10 the truth OF his statements but ] rather
think the CORY appellation was earned by two
exploits, which, with no olfenso intended,
will now relate
Shortly after the 106th was torn from i,s
peaceful Illinois home, and placed in the lat
that tme) still more peaceful camp at Bolivar.
Tenn, IL 50 happened that an old mulc and an
imbccIle horse, chained together grazed limo
Gently about till they nearcd that part Of tho
pickot-line where guards from the IO6th were
stationed. Hearing in the dead waste and
middle of the night the mysterious hooffaIs
OF the aged couple, and the ominous rafting of
the chain by which they were fastened to-
RetheT the fears of the iO6th arose high In
their breasts, and they fred of their guns aud
stampeded wildly into camp. The long roll
was sounded tho whole garrison was turned
out and formed in line Of battle, and detail
was sent 10 find out what was the trouble
They found the trouble, brought 10 into camp
with them, aud ola now mad we were--un-
I'll We had 10 laugh.
The other incident which clnched their title
for them was whom old Pap" Brahmin. as wo
called him. took their whole regiment prisoners

did not exercise sufficient vigilance, be started

now. Get right out here without any noise

And the Colonel surrendered aud did as he
was told to do; then, after they were all in POI

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | have been
reading some very interesting Literature
brought out during the late Confederate Re
union at Chattanooga. An alleged statistical
article appears, with tho purpose Of showing
that the relative strength OF the two sides in
our late struggle was between i've aud ten To
one ia favor of the fedgrals. This is decayed
chestnut. cannot see, in the light of common
sense, how this immense disparity can be
claimed.
For instance, the greatest disproportion was
stated as at Spottsylvania and tho Wilderness,
where the writer places the number Of Federal
forces engaged at 10000 aud the COnfederates
at $4,000 Now. II he Is correct. this is much
less than five TO one But did Gen. Grant have
10000 men at these battles2
At the seven days fight before Richmond.
the Federals are given 100, 900 men the Com
federates $4,000. These figures are probably
near being right, but the disparity is nowhere
near five. to-oue.
At second battle Of Manassas the force Of the
Fedcrals is placed at 10000; their opponents at
10000. j thought this battle was fought by
Gen. Pope without tho aid of McClelan's troops.
in which case the rebels must have decidedly
outnumbcred our troops.
According 10 this alleged statistician, our
forces at battle OF Franklin numbered 10000
Did Gen. Schofeld have even one-third Of this
number enRagedf
la two battles-stone River and Chicka.
mauga-a preponderance In forces is actually
! gwen TO the COnfedeates But how does this
| carry out the five to-one text2
One thing more in calculation of history In
enogy Of the rebel Gen. Forrest by his Chief
Of staff, Maj. ID. G. Kelly, it is stated that he
followed Col. Streight with greatly-inferior
| forces, harassed him with incessant attacks
day aud night, until the Federal troops finally
demanded to be allowed to surrender, which,
when done, 700 men laid down their arms TO
| 800.

Pleasant MN and the Crossroads.


Nj. NJ. Clothier, 3lst Mass, says j. l.. Cutters
statement of facts relating to the battles of Sa-
bne Crossroads and Pleasant Hill is manly, AS
becomes a true soldier, in strong contrast to
Bryson's war literature, Clothier was with the
mounted infantry at Sabine Crossroads and
claims that no statement thus tar relating TO
that battle has done Justice to the brave men
who led the van on that Inflated 9Th of April
1864 No troops could have made II more heroic
fight than did the Thirteenth Corps. The sin
Clio division of the Nineteenth Corps deplOyed

face of victorious enemy. He well remem-
bers passing through their llnes-perhaps five
minutes before their first volley-and near

ern Yankee been at the commencement of the
battle of Sabine Crossroads, Smiths Gnerrillas
could have rested on the laurels of Fort De
Russ0y.
Thomas J. Kerr, Co. I, 47th Pa, Wellsville.
Pa, says C0mrade Cutter, Goth Me-, is nearly
correct in his account of the battles of Sabine
Crossroads and Pleasant Hill, but he makes u
misstatement regarding the 47th Pa, aud helps
Brysonr out when he says that the 47th had just
como from Key West where it had been doing
garrison duty. but had never been in the field.
The regiment did come from Key West, but
had been in the battle of Pocotaligo S. c., in
1862, and ut the battle of st. Johns Bluff. Fla.

Whether it be the Lodge bill or the
Kelly bill, or measure taking some.
thing from each, Congress Is likely to
adop. bill placing Congressional cleo.
tons under National control. There will
naturally be differences as to details,
but the drift OF Republican sentiment in
both houses OF Congress is clearly in
favor OF the general proposition.
Long experience has shown that it is
idle to hope for fair elections under
State law. While this may suit the peo-
plo Of a State, or at least the winning
side, in It's final result it does not suit
the people OF the United States, and it
is their right to have Representatives in
Congress, no matter from what State,
chosen under laws satisfactory to them,
30 fur as the Constitution allows.
Fortunately tho proposition TO place
the election Of Representatives under
National control il provided for by the
Constitution. This general control es-
tablished, backed by an act OF Congress
providing for new districts once in ten
years following the census, will give TO
the country such guarantee Of fair
elections for Congress as 1t has never
had.

hotel with another woman. The wife

drawn revolver, unloaded.
