In his report TO Gen Hurlbut, Gen. Prentiss,
who commanded the Union forces at Helena
when attacked by the rebel Gems. Holmes
and Price, estimated the number Of rebels as
being between 1900 and $4,000. Gen. Hurl-

covered their strength. The effective men un-
der Gen. Prentiss numbered about 1000. The
rebels succeeded in capturing SO prisoners,
while the number taken By Federals was nearly
1000. or the killed 500 were rebels and 36

A Monster Radish.
Isl. Yieholas.I

With the people, the houses, the tea pots,
the chickens, and so many things on so small
a scale in Japan. there is all the greater sur
prise when one finds anything there which has
attained an unusual or gigantic size The
coarse white radish, daikOn, from six to 10 feet
in length, strikes one as q vegetable joke in
that land OF Lilliput. The giant in one fairy
story uses a daikon for club and the street.
peddlers lean their daikons up against the side
Of house as if they were whips OF fish poles.
One might very naturally inquire the price of
daikon by the yard, when he goes to market.

A Proposal 10 Buy "UHeIe BlllI's" Headquarters

Editor NATIONAL TRIRuNE:

G9S'S7TVO headquarters after the surrender OF

aud can be bought for less than half its original
cost-for $4,000 The grounds are 60 by $50
feet, and are on the finest street in the city, or
i'm any other city. The boys OF the Fourteenth,
Fifteenth, Seventeenth, and Twentieth Corps
remember the property and street.
Ii has been suggested that the surviving
members Of these corps chip In % cents each,
aud buy this property rs lasting tribute to our
great and loved commander, Gen. w. L. Sher-
man, and dedicate il as home for the orphans
of all Union soldiers in the South. Hancock
Post, g. A. r.. of Savannah, will take charge and
care of il. The State and City will exempt it
from taxation. and the expenses of maintaining
it will be very light IL is suggested TO ask the
boys of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth,
aud Twentieth Corps TO take the active part in
this, as they were the ones to whom Savannah
surrendered, and who garrisOned the city
during their stay there Also call on the 18th,
l53d, 1874, and l75th Y. Y. and 9th Mass, as
they were in charge of the city until mustered
out. Every soldier that feels disposed TO con-
tribute to this object is appealed to, regardless
of the army he served in; but the above corps
and regiments are more directly interested.
Would be pleased 10 hear from comrades with
any suggestions they may please to make.
Might be a good plan 10 select some cOmrade or
person the comrades have confidence in, to re-
ceive the contributions and when the amount
necessary TO purchase the property is secured.
the contributors could direct the purchase Of
the property. name and elect Trustees. etc
