Western Congress-,

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 3-Arrangements
have been completed for the reception Of
the delegates to the trans-Missssippi
congress which meets here this month.
The congress which held four days
session in Denver last May, then voted
for the coinage of American silver. At
that convention silver and irrigation to a
large extent overshadowed all other sub
lects. There was opposition to the free
coinage of silver and to the scheme of
irrigation, on principle and on the details,
and this fact alone brought them into
prominence. On the other subjects there
was an unanimity that kept the surface
unruftled,

Salvation and Revenue.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-The event in the sal
walton army scheme which goes by the
title of "se lf-denial" week began to-day
Last year the Golfers of the army were
increased to the amount of $l50,O00 as a
result of the week of self-denial practiced
by the members. This short period of
deprivation has always been productive
of large revenue to the funds of the
army. The salvationists confidently ex-
pect that the contributions this year will
amount to 100000. This large sum will
be contributed by men, women and chill
dren who almost without exception be-
long to the poorer classes.

A MILLION DOLLAR DEAL.
"A Big Silver Property at Kingston Sold
to English Investors.

Thomas S. O'Neal, of Kingston, is in
Denver. He tells the Denver News that
he has just closed up big deal with an
English syndicate, involving the sale Of
the Grand Central mine, ten miles from
Kingston, N. NJ, for the sum of 81 ,OOO,-
200. This deal has been pending all
spring and summer, but has now been
consummated.
The Grand Central is q large low grade
silver mine, the ore running fifteen TO
twenty ounces in silver and % per cent
lead. The English syndicate will put in
large concentrating works that will handle
from 200 to 800 tons of the ore. They
are also contemplating the building of a
narrow gauge road from Lake Valley.
sixteen miles to the mine. Thev have
put IN their own expert, Capt. Robson.
to act as manager.
The News adds: "Mining is looking
up in New Mexico" said Mr.. O'Neal.
"and we are producing more ore there
now than the smelters can handle. We
have smelters at Ell Paso and Socorro that
are carrying at the present time between
$5OO,0OO and 100000 worth of ore on
hand. There is room for good smelter
at Rlncon, which is the central point
on the A., T. & S. F. road.
The future outcome of New Mexico is
most promising, and it is bound to be a
great mining country. There is no doubt
about that. What we want now most of
all is reduction works so that We can rely
upon our ore being treated more economi-
,ally. l have to ship twenty miles by
,eam and then send the ore on here to
Denver for treatment. 1 probably sent
10000 to $50, 900 worth of ore to Denver

-MABEL VAN bRUST, Box so, -. Joseph, Mich.
IASswER.-After the capture of Atlanta the
question arose, what was the next move 10 be
made to the injury of the Southern COnfeder-
scy, and in October Gen. Sherman decided to
cut the Confederacy in two, and began the
march from Atlanta 10 Savannah. lie sent
Gen. Thomas back 10 Nashville with the Fourth
aud Twenty Corps, to head of Hood who
was making a raid in that direction, and also
ordered other troops TO his assistance from Mis-
souri, and elsewhere, whore they could be
spared. Gen. Sherman reserved for himself
the Army Of the Tennessee, under command Of
Maj. o. o. Howard, which consisted Of the
Fifteenth aud Seventeenth Corps, and the Army
Of Georgia, under Gen. III. w. SOcum, which
comprised the Fourteenth aud Twentieth
Corps aud division Of cavalry under Gen.
Fitzpatrick. Atlanta was burned, and also the
foundry and machine shops at Rome, and on
the morning Of Nov. 10 the army began its
movement toward the sea, following the rail-
road leading from Atlanta 10 Augusta, and
strongly demonstrating in different directions
so as TO confuse the enemy. The rebels were
taken by surprise and did not oppose any ade-
quate forces 10 the march. though they made
every effort 10 get enough men in front TO at
least retaTd IT, The hardest work done by the
army was in making bridges across the swollen
streams. swath was cut through the State
averaging 60 miles in width, both the Union
and the rebel armies cooperating in destroy
ing forage and supplies. Dec. 10 Sherman con-
centrated his army around Savannah. On the
18th Gen. Hazen's Division captured Fort
McAllister and opened up communications
with our feet on the ocean. Gen. Sherman
sent a demand for surrender on the 18th TO
Gen. Hardee, who commanded tho defenscs Of
Savannah, which was refused, and on the Goth
Hardee evacuated the city and our troops took
possession Of it. Gen. Sherman sent a dispatch
TO President Lincoln on Christmas Eve max

What Became Of the Govt

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As / have
never seen anything in your columns from the
boys Of the 57th ILL.,, IL would seem that such "A
regiment never existed. The following incident,
which is no doubt well remembered by many
comrades, should wake them up, and be tho
cause Of letting their old friends know through
the columns OF The NATIONAL TRIBUNE that
they are still on earth.
In March, 1862, just before the battle Of
Shiloh, the 18th Ill. was in camp about half a
mile back from the river. Only few weeks
before a sleek cow, somewhat resembling a
Jersey, made her appearance, and was Rt once
declared contraband." She became attached
10 the regiment, and as she was in prime con-
dition, the Hospital Steward was instructed TO
care for her. She furnished her daily quota Of
milk, which was relished by all in the hospital
al the time, aud 10 state that her presence was
welcome would be but 10 state il mildly. Dur
ing the bloody 9th and 9TH days Of April she
disappeared, only 10 return 10 the regiment
after the battle was over. During the march
10 aud through the siegeof Corinth, she was in
constant attendance upon the boys and gave
them a feeling Of home-like content After
the siege ] WAS confined in the hospital, aud
the milk furnished by Bossy" made a well
come addition 10 my cup Of black coffee.
Some time during October the COW suddenly
disappeared. Whether she was made into beef
by some other regiment or appropriated for
other uses, the 57th never knew. Can any COM
Tade tell anything about Bossys" fate p

Captains commission In 1864, in Co. A. The

The Wilderness Campaign.

Charles Smith, Co. ID, 81 Ind Cav, lie Loup,
Kan, says that if he did not open the battle he
has been laboTing under wrong impression
ever since May >. Gen. Wilson's Division of
Cavalry crossed the river at Ely's Ford and
marched TO the Wilderness Tavern, where the
command halted. Gems. Wilson and Chapman
got out their maps, and Gen. Chapman called
one of his Aids aud ordered him to take au
Orderly, go out the road and locate the rebel
line. The writer was an Orderly for Gen.
Chapman at the time and followed the Aid for
about a mile, when they came upon the videts
Of the enemy. The writer asked the Aid to
allow him to use his gun upon one of the
videts, and he dismOunted, placed his carbine
across his saddle and fired, which stirred them
up TO such an extent that he wished the shot
was back in the gun. The Aid remarked. " You
have played -" They started for the rear
at a two-forty gait, with the rebels after them.
After going a little distance they met Sergeant
aud eight New York cavalrymen, and the Aid
ordered them to go back but the Sergeant told
his boys 10 come on aud in q few minutes they
met the rebels in small rayine, and such fight
ing he never saw before. When tho rebels got
through with the little squad they came on
after the Aid and the writer. and followed them
until they reached our line, which opened on
them and soon drove them beyond where the
New York cavalrymen had been killed few
minutes before. But the enemy soon rallied,
brought up reinfOrcements, and drove our
cavalry back until it met the Fifth Corps
He therefore thinks that his was the first gun
fired at the Wilderness.
Jacob Briggs, Co. b, Goth Ohio Second Bril-
gade, First Division, Ninth Corps, Corsica, o.,
says that when the army moved out from the
battlefield of the Wilderness his regiment
started about 3 o'clock in the morning and
being in advance reached Spottsylvauia Court
house about o'clock on the 9th of May.
The writer's company was deployed as skir-
