NIississippians Moving.

DR.. j. b. Gambrcll, Chairman of the
Mississippi Prohibition Executive Com
mittee, has issued an address 10 the Pro-
hibitionists of his State The interest
there is conferred upon the prohibitory
provision aimed against liquor and lot
terics. which it is hoped the Constitu-
tional Assembly that meets August Is
will incorporate in the constitution. In
his address Chairman Gambrcll makes
some very encouraging statements. He
says:
81 must congratulate you. my fellow
workers. that the scheme of the whisky
combine to pack the Constitutional Con-
vention with men committed to the liq-
uor interest has. signally failed. From
the nominations that have been made it
is certain that the convention will be a
very able body of men. a majority Of
whom arc favorable to the principles of
Prohibition. Nor have any of the evil
effects predicted of calling public atten-
ton to the scheme of whisky leagues
been realized.
"The people were never more thought
full nor more disposed to act periodically
and on high moral principle. The con
vention will meet under exceptionally
favorable circumstances"

Our Party Is tho Best There Is.

Judge j. Il. Mills, of Lancaster, Wis,
who was nominated by the Prohibition
lists for District Attorney, has declined
the nomination. In the first part Of his
letter he says:
81 do not believe that the cause YOU
advocate can, under existing circum-
stances, be promoted by separate politi-
cal action"
He closes, however, in these words:
Nevertheless, the third-party lobby
list exercises salutary influence over
legislative bodies. He terrorizes the Re-
publicans with the threat of breaking up
their organization, and punches and
prods its members into decent legisla-
ton. In fact, l shall vote for it's nom
inees rather than those Of either Of the
other parties, for there is something
plaintive in their exclamation, 'Morturi
salutamus,' as they descend into the pit
to be torn to pieces by Republican and
Democratic wild beasts"

sode. The camp they charged was the
Union Brigade, composed of the Eighth,
Twelfth, Fourteenth Iowa and Fifty
eighth Illinois. These regiments had
been so badly cut up at the Hornets
Nest" at Shiloh Of them going
as visitors with Gen. Prentiss to the
South-that what was left had been
put together as one regiment, called
the Union Brigade and assigned to the
First Brigade, Second Division, De-
partment of the Tennessee. Well, this
Major had taken the oath and had
been in and out Of our lines at will,
and we had guarded his property all
safely. To pay us for this he led
band of guerrillas Into our camp to kill
our sick and wounded. The attack
failed; ne was killed, and under his
citizen suit had on Confederate uni
form. In a pocket of his citizen
suit was found his oath of allegiance,
while in his army uniform was found
his commission as Captain. I saw
him dead, and l had no hospital bon
bons either. did not see him buried,
but [ was told he had a hand out
holding jack of clubs, on which was
written these words, "In hell, Oct. 4,
'62. jeff Davis, please send me my land
warrant"
1t was not thought at that time that
he was served any too inhumanly
Had he come in his true light, with no
oath of allegiance about him, and had
fallen, he would have been accorded
an honorable soldiers burial.

Forevermore Brothers.

union in Chattanooga, or the 4th OF
July, General George B. Gordon, of
Louisiana, said: 1--WE all recognize the
fact that the late war was gallant

the South fought for the Constitution
OF our fathers as founded by the Su-
preme Court. The South was loyal

slavery question. The North was right

NATIONAL COMMITTEES APP.
PEAL

The National Committee has issued
the following letter:
The effort to secure regular income for
organizing work has met with generous
response. Before our proposition was put
in type the intimation Of our purpose
brought two liberal pledges, one for 500 per
month for twenty-four months. and one for
$40 per month for seventeen months.
These, with a number Of smaller pledges,
make an excellent beginning. The impor-
tance Of this undertaking cannot be over
estimated. 1t ought to reach speedy sue
cess 10 organize our party and put it
upon basis Of sef-supportng operations
in the new and unorganized States is neither
small nor unimportant matter. Nor will
the benefit of such work be confined to these
States alone.
Growth anywhere stimulates everywhere,
and progress in the South will be especially
helpful in the North.
AS soon as this fund is assured, it is our
purpose to commence an energetic organic
Ing campaign upon substantially the fol-
lowing plan: Take, for example. North Car
DINA, a State that would come early upon
our list.
we propose. in corporation with our
workers in that State, to arrange and widely
advertise a series of Congressional confer
ences, each conference to cover two even
ings and one day, the evenings being
utilized for mass meetings. while the day
! sessions are devoted to practical discussion
of plans of work, including organizing.
finance, and literature.
So far as possible these Congressional con-
ferences will be attended by the Cha irman
of this committee. and all of them either
by the Chairman or some representative of
the National Committee. No effort will he
spared to make them thoroughly practical
in their character, so as to leave behind
them, not only enthusiasm, but clear-cut
and definite plans for continuous and ap-
gressive work.
The series of Congressional conferences
will eliminate with State conference, de-
signed to bring all the more active workers
together, to organize or reorganizc if neces-
sary the State Committee. who should select
a State organizer. decide upon a plan of
finance and of complete county organization.
and provide in connection with the National
Committee for continuous prosecution OF
the work throughout the entire State
Unless this work can be persistently fol-
| lowed up it is useless to commence it, In q
number Of the States the work must be done
under the direction of the National Com
mittee, partly, at least, at our expense. and
must be continued until such time rs the

To do this we need reliable revenue
| Even with a liberal amount in the treas.
ury we cannot enter upon such an under.

He states that Immediately on his ar
rival in Canada he put himself in COM
munication with the leading spirits of
the "Sons of Liberty" He was re-
-ceived among them with great cordiali-
ty, and the utmost confidence extended
to him. They became convinced dur
ing the summer of 1864 that their
efforts to defeat the election
of Mr.. Lincoln were hopeless.
Lincoln had the power" wrote
Thompson, "and would certainly re-
elect himself" and there was mo hope
but in force" The belief was enter
tanned and freely expressed that by a
bold, vigorous and concerted move
ment the three great Northwestern
States OF Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio
could be seized and held. This would
naturally involve the accession of Mis-
souri, and Kentucky to the Confeder-
acy, and this, in sixty days. would end
the war. 1t was resolved to hold a
series of peace meetings in Illinois for
the purpose of preparing the public
mind for such a revolt. The first OF
these meetings was to be held at
Peoria, and "to make it success, y

furnished, and the meeting was de-

the country to such an extent
that the leading politicians conceived
the idea that Mr.. Lincoln could be
beaten at the ballot-box on such an
issue. "The nerves OF the leaders" he
says, "thereupon began to relax" The
