USELESS SACRIFICE.
Folly of the Fighting in the Crater at
Vicksburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: It was
rather amusing to read Comrade Behring'S
Fighting for Yicksburg," and the efforts
made occasionally TO defend some of his
errors He speaks of fighting the rebels be-
hind breastworks at Champion Hills. Now,
will he tell us where and what kind of
breastworks they fought behind? / saw
none during the battle, and have visited the
Geld since the war, but could find no trace
of any Notifications.
Comrade ID. NJ. Allen, in your issue of
Nov. 8, is also mistaken about what took
place at Fort Hill. He says the Goth and
45th III. charged into the place, staid there
till o'clock, and were relieved by the 56th
H.; were told to get supper, and stop until
morning. In less than an hour they were
called into line TO take back the ground lost
on account of the ammunition not being the
right caliber for the guns. What guns? If
Comrade Allen will try TO refresh his men,
DRY he will find matters about as follows:
After the explosion at Fort Hill-which,
by the way, was Il complete fzzle as moth
ing good resulted from il, and it caused the
useless slaughter of hundreds of brave boys
the Goth and 45th iii. ran into the crater,
and tried 10 prevent the rebels from rebuild
ing the fort. One section of McAllister's
battery Cd, 1st III. wns detailed to throw
24-pound shells by hand, cutting the fuse
at five seconds. AS several comrades had
their hands blown to pieces while SO engaged,
perhaps this is the ammunition Comrade
Allen speaks of as being Of the wrong cali
her, 49,
Now, after awhile, the goth and 45th were
relieved by either the 30th or 3lst ILL.,, or the
23d Ind. / am unable att this late day 10
remember in what order this relief came
After a useless struggle, which lasted away
into the night, Gen. Logan received orders
from Gen. Mcpherson lyerbaD to withdraw
his men from the crater. That ended the
farce of capturing Vicksburg by tunnel.
After this matters settled into "a regular
siege, aud when Johnny Reb had eaten his
last steak of mule meat Vicksburg sur
rendered.
l do not claim that was trying to capture
Vicksburg against the orders of my Captain;
nor did L plant the first flag on the court
house. But | was in the crater assisting in
throwing some of that wrOng-sized ammu-
milton over the works at the rebels, and
heard Gen. Mcpherson say to Gen. Logan:
Better take your men out. 1t Is useless to
sacrifice any more in there" JOHN L. WIEs-

week, consulting with the friends of silver
there. On Friday night he delivered an ad-
dress. In speaking OF the increased indebt-

"In 1859 of one hundred families on farms
thirty -four rented, twenty-three owned under
mortgages, forty-three owned clear OF incum-
brance. At best calculation at beginning OF
this year forty are rented thirty mortgaged
and thirty clear. BY the close OF the century
fifty will be renters, twenty-five mortssged
and twenty-five clear In the cities the fig
ures are more unfavorable. In 1889 there
were in one hundred families sixty-four rent
ers, twelve mortgaged and twenty-four clear.
In 1894 seventy renters, ten mortgNged and
twenty clear. At the close Of the century
there will be eighty-hve renters, five mort
gagged aud but ten actual owners, II that

a NOTABLE decision was handed
down by the Court of Appeals at Kan
sas City recently. The validity of
certain acts of the city council having
been called in question the court de
cided that according to the letter of
the law it would be held that all the
acts of the council during two Yeas
including the issuance of 81. 600. 900 of
water works bonds were illegal, but
that in view of all the circum stances
and the immense amount of trouble
and confusion that would en- sue under
such decision, the court would pro
nounce its acts valid. This is notable
as departure from the rules of juris
prudence and as an exhibition of com
mon sense.
