death brave boys. Nor shall I forget the
day that some rebel officers came in, and,
approaching our squad, said: We know,
Yanks, that ySu are hungry and cold, but
come and enlist into our army, and you
shall have both food, raiment, and money
But our boys answered and said: Your
rney, etc, perish with you; we will never
desert our country's flag And now the
treatment that we received in said prisons
is being called humane, etc. All, could our
poor comrades only be called forth from
their graves to be Intercepted, how they
would point their poor bony fingers at those
who issued the orders, as we'll az at those
who served out said humane treatment.
Doubtless there are Some comrades who
were with me in said prisons still living. If
so, will they write me?"
Why Worry the Old Soldiers?

pick up newspaper nowadays without see
ing something derogatory to the old soldiers
written by their enemies, who are now hav-
ing their innings" Where would this
Government be now had it not been for the
soldiers?p he asks.

Dangers of Tobacco.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: One of the
principal Bible texts relied upon to sustain the
tobacco and other habits is st. Matt, Is: IL
mot that which goeth into the mouth defileth
a man." etc. And verse II says: Whatsoever
entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly"
etc.
Now, if the reader will refer to any standard
textbook on physiology or dietetics, he will find
it stated that ordinary food does, indeed, follow
the regular channels of secretion and excretion
in an orderly manner. But nicotine 1.-THE poi
sonous principle in tobacco and all other
deadly poisons, as alcohol, opium, arsenic,
belladonns prussic acid, ETC., does not follow
the regular channels of secretion and excretion
in an orderly manner, but, like burglars and
thieves, it breaks through and over all chan
nels and barriers, and makes a dash for the
vital organs-the heart, brain, lungs, etc.
The Uis medicGtriT nature" or life power of
nature" makes vigorous effort to resist and
expel the poison, but it only succeeds in Great
ing "metdstdSic" action in scattering the
poison towards the surface and extremities.
Thus, every fiber, tissue, nerve, muscle and
bone in the tobacco-user's SYSTEM becomes per-
meated with nicotine Qike a smoked ham),
and thus by alternating the poison prevents
sudden death by concentration.
In men of sedentary habits the abdominal
muscles become weak and fabby from want Of
exercise. Nicotine settling most in the weak
est parts, finds its way into the weak abdomi-
nal muscles and makes them still weaker.
Then strain or wrench causes rupture.
i have observed that not one man in a thou
sand Except physicians) seems to know that
tobacco is the principal cause of the majority
of cases of rupture.
Nicotine weakens the brain, the heart, the
lungs, etc, and is powerful factor in causing
heart disease paralysis, insanity, etc. 1t is
thus easy to see how tobacco may breed anar-
chists, infidels agnostics, drunkards, liars,
thieves, gamblers, bummers and beggars. Even
if a man thinks he is benefited 10 per cent by
tobacco he is injured 80 per cent, but does not
recognize it Immediately. Tobacco is fascin
ating and charming hatterer, but iu the end is
q woful deoeiver.
Many old soldiers acquired the tobacco habit
in the army, to help relieve the monotOny of
camp-life and the excitement attending their
campaigns and now many of them would
gladly be rid of the burden, but cannot easily
break the habit see them every day groan-
ing under their burdens. and my heart bleeds
for them. My father was killed by tobacco in
1S47, which opened my eyes.-H. FooTE,

A Comrade Wants to Know About Some
Happenings which Took Place in Septem-
Der, 1864.
r WOULD like to state few facts and to
ask them a few questions. My diary
- says that Sept. o. 1864, the 10th
n. Y. went on fatigue duty at day
light digging rifle-pits on the nights OF Stras-
burg and that at about the time the works
were completed we were ordered 10 fall ia in
light marching order to 20 and support a
company Of ssppers and miners that were to
throw up field work which was to be oc-
cupied By battery about 600 yards to he
front of the rifle-pits. We found the me. :
the place designated. They were
down and we could not get them up. Jar
officers slapped and kicked them, but it was
of no use. 1t was too warm for them.
We had to 20 down into a hollow and
stack arms, and then took the tools from
these miners. There were tools for only
about 20 or 30 men, and the others had to
stand and look on, or practice lodging mimic
bullets or both.
Now, will some comrade tell me to what
organization those men belonged that
wanted so much supporting, and also what
became of them?
About the time that we had dirt enough
between Us and the rebs TO partially protect
us, we were relieved. What regiment re-
lieyed US, and, / suppose, finished the works :?
Those timbers that you carried up the hill
10 complete the work grew heavy fast as
they neared the top of the hill, did they not,
comrades?
At the time we were relieved we were
ordered to take arms and double-quick to
the front, find and support a skirmish-line
TO and over Fishers Hill. We took arms
and started at a double-quick toward Fishers
Hill looking for that skirmish-line, but did
not stop to inquire for it. We went to the
hill, crossed a small stream and I'D the hill
to the rebel breastworks and over them.
capturing two sections of a battery that had
been keeping the flies off us, and a few
prisoners.
We did not find that skirmish-line. Will
some comTade inform me what regiment
furnished that skirmish-line, and what be-
came of it2 We received marked attention
while we were crossing the plain in front of
the hill, but met with small loss, considering
the time we were under fire.
/ wish to say one word to a reb here (if
he is liviDg) who preferred being shot TO
surrendering 10 us. / wish to say TO him that
he owed his life at that time to one of our
officers, who, when the reb started TO run.
called out to us not 10 shoot him, or he would
have had about 300 holes in him at range
of 10 yards. hope he did not kill any more
Yanks after that. He looked to be about
six and half feet high, and wore jockey
cap. He appeared TO be in command of that
battery. Was he?-J. E. De FOREST, Co.

The 18th Mass.

The regiment was organized at Boston
from July 49, 1861, to Aug. 1, 1861, to serve
three years, and was mustered out Aug. 1,
1864. Samuel III. Leonard was Colonel, and
he served in that capacity during the regi-
ment's entire term of service. The regiment
was attached to Robinson's Division, of the
First Corps, when it left the service, and lost
in all 161 men. Four officers and 1T men
were killed, and 40 men died of dis
ease. Col. Fox says: "The 18th Mass.
has a meritorious record in its small
number of deaths from disease, its per-
centage of deaths from that cause being
the smallest of any three-years regiment in
the entire army. There were regiments
with smaller number of deaths from dis
ease, but they were two-years regiments, or
carried less names on their rolls. The ex-
traordinary exemption of disease in the
18th Mass. would indicate that the regi-
ment was composed of superior material"
1t is not, however, elassed as one of his 800
fighting regiments.

Total pay. bounty. and pension 80. s.. 42s %


There we see a difference of S2,071. 80 In
favor of the stay-at-hOme mechanic over the
soldier mechanic. Both amounts came from
the same source-the one received his money
during tho first three years; the soldier got
his in installments during period of 80
years, and is called by such men as the former,
whom l often heard denounce pensions to SOL
diers Government robber. The home me-
chanic worked 300 days. the soldier 800 days
year and had to be ready any hour in the
night when called on, rain or shine, hot or
cold. The one had bed to sleep in, and could
procure all the comforts of life; the other had
to sleep on mother earth, the sky as bed cover,
weary and hungry, marching. digging, fight
ing, liable to be shot. killed or crippled every
minute, and thousands of them are suffering
the balance of their life, either from wounds or
disease contracted in the service or il-treat-
ment in prison; and now we have to stand all
abuse just by such men who staid at home and
made money while we were fighting their
battles.
The within. described case is only one Illus
tration, but it clearly shows how malignant
and false the charges of these soldier and PEN
sion-haters are.-RUDoLPH KosT, Lieutenant,

VETERAN vs. STAY-AT-HOME
Some Figures for the Baters OF Soldiers
and Pensions.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In a dis
cusson a short time ago with a gentleman
whom / consider one of the above-named class,
the discussion was about the poor, miserable,
and suffering condition of sick soldier, lying
at deaths door, by the name of John Ham
burger, who was member of Co. ii, 9th Conn.,,
in which company l served as a Lieutenant
nearly four years. The obituary of this soldier
can be found in the Muster out column. This
soldier was a member for more than 80 years of
e workingmen's benevolent society which pays
q weekly benefit of So to its members in case Of
sickness, and of which society the above-men-
toned gentleman is an official. l called on
the soldier and found him in helpless con-
ditiop, without any nurse. His wife is dead.
Not soul within 500 yards of him. On meet
ing the above-named gentleman l called his
attention to the case of this soldier as mem-
Der of their society, but not member of the
GAR. In the discussion he cast sluTs on the
GAR. for not taking care Of this soldier.
when, in fact. they didn't know anything
about him or his condition. l took up the
cudgel and defended the GAR, contradicted
his charges, and in the debate the language be-
came hot. He boosted that he worked for the
United States before ever ! or we soldiers did,
making guns and pistols; and heard him say
former occasion that he made from 81 to
So per day while at that work, while we were
fighting.
NOW. let us compare this benevolent gentie-
mans pay with the pay of this soldier during
his three years service from 1861 to 1864. Both
were skilled mechanics-one gunsmith. the
other n stonecutter. Let us take their average
