Col. SiIIowaye Speaks.
What a Colonel of Gen. Nc
Clellan's Staff Says.
He Saved President Lincoln from Capture,
He Was the Preserven Also of John
Jacob Astor.


Col. William A. II. Sillowaye is go years
old. He resides at Bellows Falls, VT, and
is connected with the Bellows Falls Times.
He has something of the most vital inter-
est to say to his fellow soldiers of the G.
A. R., and to his fellow men the world
over.
In "Rife Shots and Bullet Shells
there can be found sketch of Col. Sillo-
wave, wherein it is shown that he indi-
rectly saved the Union, when, in 1858. he
prevented the capture of Lincoln by the
Confederates. He also saved John Jacob
Astor from similar fate in 1862, in the
Peninsular campaign. Col Siliowaye
served four years and eight months in the
army and navy during the war, and from
April 1861. to February, 1858, he served
his country without pay or reward of any
kind.
He knew all of the Union generals and
Secretary Stanton and Mr.. Welles. He
was lieutenant-colonel on Gen. McClel-
lan's staff in 1852. Col. Sillowaye is a
practical printer, engineer and linguist.
He has set up works in Greek, French,
Spanish, Latin and Hebrew. He was en-
ployed during five years at Oxford, Eng,
on Romans Greek bible, and there, In
1859, the degree of LID. was conferred
upon him. His first wife was daughter
of Sir William Blackie and neice of Sir
Richard Houghton. His present wife is a
relative of Hon. William M. Eyarts, and
very gifted lady.
Col. Sillowaye is very modest man,
and only consented to talk to the writer
after it was shown that it would be crimi-
nal for HIM to keep his knowledge to
himself while others suffered
So here is his story as it fell from his
lips He saw it written out and he in
dorsed every word of it.
