Hurrah for the button! the little brown button
tbs the symbol Of Union and fraternal COM
muniOn,
And the patriot veterans Joys.
On the breast Of its wearer shines emblem no
fairer
Though sombre its color and brown;
The hue OF its beauty is the sun bronze OF duty
That won FORTS heroes renown.
It's the eloquent token OF brave deeds IN
spoken
And elds they so CALAMITY won:
OF the musketry's rattle, the thunder OF bat
tie
The wild havoc OF sabre and gun
1t tells US the story how they saved our "old
Glory
When treason had shattered its bars.
How its rents were united in the blood they
had plighted.
And the lusire that hallows its star
II hints Of dark hours when Secession's powers
Were leagued our fair land TO DER throw;
Its deep lessons glisten for children who listen
And learn how was conquered the foe.
Rebel pen-hellish prison-uo excuse can be-
dizen.
Or plot from memory's eyes;
Then hurrah for the button, and the man it is
put on
Can boast of no symbol more fair;
No garlands can rival so grand survival
AS the button the G. A. K. wear.
As oft as 1 wear ii I admire and revere il.
And 1 wish the brown button were mine;
Its praise I'D sing louder had I suelled the

And marched with comrades In line.

The following telegraphic CORE

conspicuous during and since the war, l
will give it as near verbatim as l now
recollect it.
While Gen. Thomas was in Nashville,
preparing to strike the blow which re-
suited in the complete humiliation of
Hoods army, the command of Gen. A.
J. Smith was ordered there, and
arrived just in time to take very
active and important part in the two
days battles and was in advance of the
army in the pursuit of Hood; in fact
Gen. Smith followed Hood across the
Tennessee river to Corinth, Miss,
where he found that Hoods army had
vanished, and as there was no enemy
to fight or cSase, and being somewhat
of hustler, as we would term him
now, he was ut loss to know just
what to do, so he telegraphed Gen.
sherman as follows:
II am here in command of the wan
dering tribes Of Israel, without a name
and without number. Where shall l
go and what shall do y
This dispatch came through Gen.
Schoield's headquarters, to which l
was attached, and which was then at
Clifton, Tenn, and was immediately
forwarded to Gen. Sherman. The
reply came quickly, and shows that
Gen. sherman appreciated the stu
