The Berdan Sharpshooters.

Gen. Berdan is agitating before Con-
gress an appropriation for a monu-
ment to the famous corps of sharp
shooters which he commanded. In
his memorial, he sets forth that under
Il commission from the War Depart
ment, by order of the President and by
consent of the Governors of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota. he recruited Is companies of
Sharpshooters, all the members of which
were upto certain standard of marks
manship. These companies were reg
istered as the 1st and End Regiments OF
United States Sharpshooters. and
placed on the same footing as Regular
troops, not being accredited TO any
State, and being paid on the same
rolls Us the Regulars by the Paymas-
ter. They rendered distinguished and
effective service on many battlefelds,
particularly on that of Gettysburg.
He prays that the appropriation for a
monument to the Regular troops at
Gettysburg may also contain the gift
of a suitable sum for the erection of a
similar monument to the sharpshoot-
ers on that field.

A Curious Episode or tho War.

some months or years of liberty, il not

He was tailor before the civil war,
and when hewas captured on a South
ern battlefield this fact reached the
ears of the commander of the prison
ers' barracks.
"Egad I'll have the Yankee goose
pusher make me n new suit" said the
officer gazing at his dingy uniform.
The finest gray cloth, gold lace and
bright buttons were brought to the
tailor prisoner. who worked cheerfully
away at the welcome employment. On
the evening the suit was TO be delivered,
however, a bright idea occurred to
him, and soon what was to all appear

Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Conemaugh,
warning the people ahead of the Johns

but the food was swiftly gaining, until
it caught the unlucky horseman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila-
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damocles,

We touched them long ago,
Where, mid the battles fire and smoke

Comment and Correction.

G.. W. McGraw, Co. +, 18th Pa,
writes to defend Gen. Negley. He does
not believe that anything that Negley
did at Chickamauga need be kept quiet.
As TO the story that Negley withdrew
his division from the field. and part Of
Gen. Sheridan's also. that has been
disproved long ago. On the Friday
before the battle Negley's Division
crossed Lookout Mountain through
Stevens Gap, driving the enemy into
Dug Gap where they were reinforced,
and drove the Federals back TO Look
out Mountain, but there were repulsed.
The same night our boys marched
down into the valley toward Chicka-
manga, and until noon the next day
were guarding a ford on Chickamauga
Creek. Leaving there, they arrived
on the field early on Saturday evening,
taking position in front of the salt
peter sheds. Now, when Negley ar
rived at Chickamauga he had three
brigades in his division, but at 2
o'clock on Sunday he had but two regi-
ments in his command, the 18th Pa.
and the DIST Ohio. all the rest of his
command having been taken off to re-
inforce Sheridan and others. In the
afternoon Negley took up position with
these two regiments to the rear of
Sheridan. in big cornfeld. Sheri-
dan was then fighting most desperate
ly in front of the cornfield. Thomas
ordered Negley to take his command
up on the ridge to support the reserve
artillery. BY this time the rebels had
swung around on the right and the
21st Ohio was engaged. The 18th
Pa, under Negley in person. started
up the ridge, Dnt the rebels had cap
tured the battery and now turned il
on the regiment. Here they lost
sight of the 2lst Ohio. Negley gave the
order TO cut their way out, which was
executed. and the 18th Pa. retired in
good order, with drums beating and
colors flying, down the valley to Ross
vile, and by the time they reached
there had been joined by at least 3, 000
men from almost every division and
brigade in the Fourteenth Corps. The
18th Pa was never broken in this bat
tie or any other. and Gen. Negley did
his duty.

Rebel strength at Appomnttox.

The common rebel account, which
has been to certain extent acquiesced
in by our own historians, is that
Grant had 124, 900 men, while Lee 5
army stacked only 5000 muskets at
AppomattoX. Not more than So, 900
Union troops were near enough to
AppomattoX to produce pressure upon
Lee. 1t is impossible TO say just how
many men the latter had confronting
them. The historical statements that
only about 5000 laid down their arms
are misleading. Lee asked Grant for
20, 600 rations during the afternoon
OF the 9th of April, and these were
found insufficient. On the 10th 2S 600
were issued. besides which the twelve
cars of provisions that Sheridan had
captured on the Sth, were turned over
to Lees army-or at least what was
left of them-our boys having ''looted"
some of the cars, as the English would
say, finding the nicely-cured Southern
bacon an agreeable change from the
regulation Yankee mess pork, or ''sow-
belly" as Uncle Sans nephews used
to call it.
The field return of March 90 1865,
showed that Lee had under his COM
mand So, 600 troops of all arms. not
including the local reserves OF Rich
mond CLERKS, ETC.. J or the naval
brigade. OF these 5000 were killed,
wounded or captured by the Fifth
Corps and the cavalry at Gravelly
Run, March 20; Quaker Road, March
80; White Oak Road, March 81, and
Five Forks, April /.
Eleven thousand more were put horS
dc combat at High Bridge and Sailors
Creek, April 6, by the Second and
Sixth Corps and the cavalry. Four
thousand more were brought into
camp by the cavalry April and s at
different points from Burke's juno
tion 70 Appomattox Station. This is
IN aggregate of 23, 900, which, sub
tracted from $4,000, leaves $4,000.
The actual number rationed from our
trains April 10 at the court house was
%, 900, which would leave a margin
OF 1000 stragglers who fell out and
went home or otherwise disappeared
without being accounted for in the final
wreck.

held in check 100, 900 Of the flower of
tho Army of Northern Virginia for
three days, and withdrew in time to
save his portion Of the army that had
not been killed or wounded. By this
stubborn resistance the Army of the
Potomac was enabled to select the
battlefield at Gettysburg. where the
back of the rebellion was broken.
Gen. Milroy was offered Il Colonelcy

the war, but he declined it, and re-
