NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The first snow- fall of the season began at f 80 this morning and was over quite an exten- sive area in this state and New Jersey.
 The temperature was within two de- grees of the freezing point at 8 o'clock. The wind was from the proper quarter for a great storm and had sufficient force to give the snowfakes business like slant. At 8 o'clock it's velocity was twelve miles an hour.
 Washington, Baltimore and Phila- delphia were all cloudy and dismal today, but Done of them shared the distinction of having the first snow- storm on November 9.

 DETROIT. Mich, Nov. 14.-After a downpour of sleet all day the weather suddenly became very cold tonight. A fierce northwestern began to blow and snow fell in great quantities. The sleet has frozen and rendered the streets dangerous to foot traffic. There is already three inches of snow on the ground and at 10o'clock it was falling rapidly. Reports from all sections of the state indicate that the snowfall is general In the upper peninsula it will give added impetus to deer slaughter. Hunters are rushing into the woods by the score.

rs and our camp. so concluded to 60 and inS
vestigate the cause. At double-quick part
OF our squad went toward our camp, when
all of sudden we found ourselves in the
midst of Gen. Early's army, who, quicker
than lightning, grabbed US; but not, how
ever, before one of our boys fred off his gun,
which Immediately called forth bang after
bang! and then the Johnnies forthwith be-
gan shooting into our camp, where our boys,
not IN the least expecting such treatment,
were sound asleep.
Now, l would like TO ask the question,
Would not any other corps under the same
circumstances have done as this little Eighth
did?
Another interrogatOry suggests itself, and
that is, How in the world did Gen. Early's
army flank us, and get between our piekets
and our camp without being heard ? Was
there not a screw loose somewhere ?-AL-

Corps, Who Did the Best They Could.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have
read with great interest Comrade ]. E.
Merrifield's defense of the Eighth Corps, and
stand by him, for in this corps were many
West Virginia boys, of whom it can be
truthfully said drawer boys never donned
the blue, and whose officers stood among
the bravest of the brave.
The 5th N. Y. H. AS Cd battalion was in
the Eighth Corps, and was member of it,
so I know whereof 1 speak. l guess that
Gen. Sheridan knew what he was about
when, at the battle of Winchester, 1864, in
the afternoon, he ordered this now-seem-
ingly-insignifcant Eighth Corps to make a
charge, and the world knows how grandly
they did it, too.
Also, at the battle of Fishers Hill again
this little corps was called upon to climb up
the craggy sides of North Mountain, while
the other brave corps kept pounding away
at the forts as if they intended to make an
immediate assault. This, no doubt, kept
the Johnnies from noticing our movement
until We had actually flanked them, and
then it was to late, for they Immediately
skedaddled pell-mell, leaving every thing
behind them.
And now for Cedar Creek. A part of our
battalion was put on picket along the banks
of this creek on the 18th of October, 1864,
and all went well until just a little before
break of day on the morning of the 18th.
Then our squad heard quite noise between

Rare Sight in the Mint.
rPhi[adelphid Call. l

A rare sight is revealed to the observer
who is permitted to enter the vast vault in
the mint basement, where $50,000,O00 in
silver is being counted. The sum of S19,-
100000 has already been taken out, leaving
big area in the center, and behind laces of
iron all around bright silver coins shine.
They escaped from the moldy bags and
made lining in each compartment of pure
white metal. The filtering of the dollars
through the laced iron, however, upsets all
possibilities of tallying the amount in each
of the many compartments, and the counters
will not know if they have made a mistake
or the coins are missing until the whole
$50,000,000 is counted.
The amount in the first compartment was
$18,00O,000, but the sliding of the coins out
of the bags and through into other cells
made the count nearly $1,000 out of the
road. There will accordingly be surplus
in the other compartments.

ment Regarding RossviIIe Gap.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I very
much dislike TO trouble you for space in
which to say more in regard to Rossville
Gap, but Justice to the brave men who held
that dangerous and exposed position while
Rosecrans was placing his army behind in
trenchments at Chattanooga seems to de-
mand that l should do so. While attend
ing the Reunion of my regiment at Sturgis,
Mich, the matter of holding Dossville Gap
was talked over, and / promised to write
again in regard to the dangerous and re-
sponsible services rendered by the troops
under the brave Stoughton at that point
during the long, tedious hours from the
morning of the 21st of September, 1868, till
40 o'clock the next morning
During the battle of Chickamauga the
brigade under command OF Col. VIM. l..
Stoughton, consisting of the 18th Ohio, 18th
H., and 18th Mich, made gallant record,
and on the last afternoon of the battle fought
on Snodgrass Hill under the Immediate eye
of Gen. Thomas. They made the last cneer
of defiance sent up from that field, and were
the last Union troops to withdraw their
lines that night.
On the morning of the Dist the Gap
through Mission Ridge at Rossville was
the all-important point to be held. Gen.
Thomas knowing from personal observation
the staying qualities of Col. Stoughton and
the men of his command, personally directed
Col. Stoughton to hold this Gap, and
pointed out to him the exact position he
should occupy.
In compliance with these directions from

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of Aug. 9 Comrade Boring says: ut
was the Both Ill.,, with the Goth ILL., as our
rigbt-bower, that defeated 10000 Kuklux
cavalry at Britton's Lane"
The comrade is mistaken, and want right
here to show which was the right-bower.
At the battle of Britton's Lane, Tenn, the
Goth III. was in the advance, and repulsed
the first charge made by the rebel cavalry
and mob of cotton pickers without any
assistance whatever. The 30th came up and
formed on our left, and played the part of
right-bower nobly.
When the battle opened good many
of the Both were monkeying" around
an old still-house in the rear some distance.
These are cold facts, but Comrade Boring
and will both keep very still about it,
One thing we Of the Goth and Both all
know is that the battle of BrittOn's Lane
caused kindred feeling between the two
regiments, which / believe still exists.
Should any of the Goth read this, 1 would

onto their line-ofbattle. Then we fell back.

Thinks jackson Not Great.

W. D. Moore, Lima, O., writes: "There
is a grave mistake made in our public
schools in regard to Stonewall Jackson. He
is placed alongside ofsuch Generals as Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Lee, etc, and painting
him as hard fighter. Many soldiers make
the same mistake. l cannot find in the war
records where he ever met an army as large
as his own, and that smaller forces have
bested him many a time"

With prospects fair, and morning bright
We started on the road,
Every heart vibrating with delight
As we bent beneath our load.
The morning soon past away,
And MONDAY reached its goal,
When from sylvan's bowers gray
Loud musketry began to roll.
Firm and3stssdy-onward we pressed,
With acceIerating hearts.
Toward the van of the contest.
There to share active part.
The sun sank slowly. past three. they said,
When we reached the fatal grove;
The 10th Vermont on the field was led,
And their incontested Yalor proved.
For relief the 18th New Jersey came,
With colors calamity displayed,
And formed anew the golden chain
The 10th Vermont had made.
The 15Iss New York stood firm at their post.
Amid the surgings of the battle tide.
Defying the vaunts of the rebel host.
Though shickly strewn their wounded lied.
And as the sun sank TO rest
Behind the western showers,
Hear. o. hear the wounded in distress,
Shouting hegh, THE victory it is ours"
Then the tumult ceases, the smoke rolled aside,
And the mantled scene revealed;
When, lot wide spread in human gore,
Lay friend and foe upon that field.
That night there slept side by side
In deaths congealing fountains
The brave sons of York, Jersey too,
And of the distant Green Mountains
Ever verdant in the memory Of all
Will remain the names OF those
That nobly met their country's call,
And bravey died fighting her foes.

years. On Nov. 26, 1864, it was consolidated
into battalion of five companies. Five
more companies were added Jan. l, 1865, by

The 18th Pm. Cav

The 18th Pa. Cav. was organized in the
latter part OF 1862, and assigned to Gen.
StaheTs Division, which soon afterward be-
| came the Third Division of the Cavalry
Corps, under command of Col. Fitzpatrick.
This regiment had the honor of opening the
battle of Gettysburg at Hanover, Pa, on
June 80, 1868. Capt. John BrittOn, of Co. +,
from Washington County, and afterward
Major now living in New York, is entirely
blind from the effects of saber wound he
received on the head at Hanover that day.
The regiment, with the other regiments of
the First Brigade, made charge on the
enemy's infantry July 3, in which Gen.
Farnsw0rth, who had only been in command
of the brigade for few days, was killed.
After Gettysburg the regiment participated
in number of other battles, and went with
Fitzpatrick on his noted Richmond raid in
the early part of 1864. Just before the bat
tie of Cedar Creek, Gen. Custer succeeded
Gen. Wilson in command of the division,
and he remained in command until the close
of the war. The 18th did duty at Win
chester, detached from the brigade, until
after the surrender of Lee, and in June,
1865, was moved to Cumberland, Md, and
many of the men discharged. The re-
mainder were consolidated with the 22d
Pa Cav. The companies of the regiment
were scattered throughout the interior
towns of West Virginia until late in the
Fall, when they were again assembled at
Cumberland, Md, where the regiment was
mustered out Oct. 81, 1865. The regiment
had AZ killed, 173 wounded, and BAT cap
tured or missing, while the number of deaths
from all causes was 292.
The 18th Pa. Cav.
The 18th Pa Cav was mustered in from
September to November 1861, and was mus
tered out June Is, 1865, by consolidation
with the 1st and 9Th Cav, to form the I'd
Provisional Cavalry. 1t fought in so en-
gagements, including Charlottesville, Get
tysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Five
Forks, Sailors Creek, and Appomattox.
Its total losses in action-killed, wounded,
captured, OF missing-were 1877 and its total
deaths were 237. at Gettysburg, on the
first day, battalion of the 18th, commanded
by Maj. j. Q. Anderson, were the first troops
on the right of the division to receive
and return the fire of Ewell's Corps. Co.
