Enlichteninc the Counselor.


Correspondent Sam Johnston re-
galed a party with stories about the
late Judge Baxter, who presided over
the Sixth district of the United States
circuit court, Ar~ng them was the
following:
ED. Johnston, who is now one of
the law partners of Judge Hoadly in
New York, once had a case before
Judge Baxter down in Tennessee,
and in the course of his argument
remarked that it was plainly evident
that an injunction could not be issued
against his client Judge Baxter
interrupted hSn, saying that be
thought he was mistaken.
"'Well, your honor, l must confess
that / cannot see how it can be done,
said Mr.. Johnston.
1 can very easily show you if
you desire me to- blandly observed
Baxter.
"Of course the attorney CALAMITY
expressed how grateful he would feel
if the honorable court would instruct
him. Baxter picked up pen, seized
a scrap of paper and hurriedly wrote
out an order in the proper legal form
directing an injunction to be issued
against Johnston's client.
That is the way to do it, Mr..
Johnston, said his honor. Mr.. Clerk,
place this order in its proper place
upon the record. '" - Washington

Over the signature of Will L. WEIGH an
article appears in late issue in which he
claims that the State of Massachusetts, fur.

reference to the history of Minnesota troops in
the civil war OF 1876, / find the following
which is all a matter of public record
Gov Alexander Ramsey was in Washing

news of the surrender of Fort Sumter was re-
ceiyed. Early the next morning lie went to
the War Department. finding Secretary
Cameron with his hat on and papers in his
hand, about to leave the Office.
Ramsey told him his business was simply
as Governor OF Minnesota, to tender 1000 men
to defend the Government.
"Sit down." said the Secretary, land write
the tender you have made, as i am now On my
way to the Presidents Mansion"
This was quickly done, and thus the earliest
tender of troops came from Minnesota 1t was
accepted and on the next day the Presidents
call for troops was published, and on that day
Gov. Ramsey telegraphed Lieut.. Gov. Ignatius
Donnely. advising him of the offer and its
acceptance, and requesting an immediate cal

the Adjutant- General, and on that day and tiie
following all were mustered into the United
States service by Capt. Anderson d. Nelson, o.
the Regular Army, under the call of the Presi.
dent for "a, coo men to serve for three months

On May 7th Gov. Ramsey received a tee
gram from the Secretary of War, suggesting
the musteringin for three years or during the
war of all of the regiments willing to enlist
for that term, and the mastering out and filling
the places OF all unwilling to SO enlist; and or

sons alive were prepared by familiarity with

necessity to civilization of the existence and

A "Neryy" Trick,

Edwin Crockett. Co. 81, Goth n. Y, Ceur
D'Alene, Idaho, says that comrade friend of
his. II. L. Bancroft tells of Merry" thing
that was done by young prisoner of war
whom he knew. In March. 1865. the rebels
were moving lot of prisoners IRON Cahaba to
Vicksburg. through Demopoiis, for exchange.
Some 500 were placed on steamer, on which
were two heavy guns Tor the Notifications at
Mobile. Que of the prisoners conceived the
idea of spiking these guns. and managed TO get
hold of two rat-taii files and hammer. The
guns were covered by heavy canvas, and
sentinel with loaded rife stood close by, who
had orders to shoot anyone interfering with
them. The man got a number of his comrades
to take the attention of the sentinel BY Offering
him some most tempting trades at the same
time making all the noise they could. while he
slipped under the canvas and spiked the guns.
He ran desperate risk for if the sentinel had
discovered him of course he would have shot
him.

for his brave act on May 6, at the Wilderness,
by rallying thousand men, thereby checking
the rebels until Gen. Shaler could form line.
The writer has no word to say against Comrade
English, hut wishes to tell what he experienced.
He was carrying Springfield rifle in Co. ID,
67th N. Y. at that time. The rebels got on the
flank and rear and mixed them all up SO that
they could not shoot. The writer saw Gen.
Shaler with rebels holding his horse by the
head and all around him. "When saw him he
was about 20 steps from me. 1t ia not true
that he reformed his lines, aud then. in going
to the rear, came onto an officer rallying frag-

looking over the official records, we find that
Van Deveer's Brigade, of Bfannsn's Division,
Fourteenth Corps, was the last brigade TO leave
the battlefield, the time given being 730 p. m.
Looking further we find that the last regiment
of that organization to leave the field is &C
credited to the 9th Ohio. Just previous TO the
9th leaving, volunteers from that regiment
were called for. one man from each company,
to remain in place as "a line Of pickets TO give
warning If there was any advance of the
enemy. These men were ordered 10 remain
on post for one hour, unless the enemy adj
vanced. If no advance was made they were to
fall back and come together. A low whistle
was to be the signal for concentrating. The
hour had elapsed when the Sergeant gave the
signal, and in a few moments all met except
ing one man, vino had not heard the signal.
With spirit of true comradeship they held on
and would not desert their comrade. At last
he appeared, and this little band of the 9th
Ohio left the field little past 0 p. N. for their
regiment, which they found at the Rossyille
