CONSERVATION Visited Upon a Loyalty Pro-
Tossing Southern Hostess.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Our regi-
ment WAS stationed for short time at the
pretty little city of Hickman, KY. My head
quarters was located in a deserted hotel which
contributed its vacant rooms to the needs of
the worn aud sick cavalrymen who had
been carried in ambulances and conveyances
that had been pressed into the service from
the various farmers along our route from
Union Station and Columbus
One day during our stay at Hickman the
staff and field received an invitation to
dine with a respectable Union widow lady
WHO lived about three miles from the town.
We repaired to the place in time for an
elaborate feast of good things. During the
afternoon we were RECALLED by instrumental
and vocal music contributed by the hand
some daughter of the hostess.
The good old lady was said to be cat
heart" Union woman as were "all the
family and this fact was so frequently as
serted to her Yankee company that they en-
tertained no doubt Of the truth of the state
meni. But circumstance took place just
before the company took its departure from
the hospitable roof that somewhat changed
the fair opinions thet had apparently crys-
talzed into unchangipg 18th.
The hostess rang asmafi ns1 that orna-
mented the little center table !. .ood- ma
tured-lookong cOlored boy made his appear
ance bearing a waiter on which was dis
played glasses of sparkling wine and a sup
ply of fine cake. The ffarent guests were
helped, and during he time devoted to sip
ping the wine and tasting the sweet accom-
paniment, the good hostess again reiterated
her profound Union proclivities, and assured
the soldiers that none of her family had en-
listed in the Confederate service, but that the
only son that kind Providence had given
her as a prop and solace in her sad widow
hood was serving in Union regiment.
At this assertion The colOred boys face
became suddenly elongated, and frightened
stare that pervaded his black complexion in
dicatcd that he feared for the reason of his
mistress, and approaching cautiously he
uttered in a loud stage whisper:
why, Misses, is you done forgot Marse
Jim, who sOjers wild Marse Forrest? Why,
he war home las week, and done got shot in
de lip by de Yankee sojers!"
If shell had exploded in the dining-room
the deep chagrin and surprise of the fair
hostess could not have been greater, and
during the CONSERVATION we took our depart
ure, mounted our horses, and started for our
regiment at Hickman.-JosHUAC GREENWOOD

The 14Oth Pa.

The regiment raised in western Pennsyl-
vania, went into active service in September,
1862, and the survivors saw the finish at
App0mattox Courthouse. During the war
the regiment lost in killed, and those dying
from the effects of wounds, 10 officers and
1873 men. One officer and 127 men died
from disease, accident, or in prison. 1t won
the terrible distinction of having sustained
the greatest percentage Of loss in action of
any regiment from Pennsylvania, and was
second in this respect in the United States.
1t is claimed that if the records of the regi-
ment had been properly kept the regiment
would have ranked first in loss. 1t was en-
gagged in the pitched battles of ChancellOrs-
vile, Gettysburg, Nine Run, BristOe Sta
ton, Wilderness Corbin's Bridge, Pc River,
Spottsylvania, North Anna. TOtopotOmoy,
Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Deep Bottom,
Reams's Station, Hatcher's Run, Sailors

also present at the battles of Apponattox
and Straw berry Plains. 1t was one of Foxs
300 fighting regiments.
