The congressional directory says
that Senator Squire, of Washington,
served as soldier and held several
commissions" but does not state in
what capacity he served. 1t is q mat
ter Of personal knowledge with me
that Senator Squire was q captain,
commanding bodyguard Of Gen.
Sherman, but in what regiment I do
not now remember. He was in an Ohio
regiment. The directory shows that
Senator Mitchell, OF Wisconsin, s.seryed
in the Twenty-third Wisconsin In
fantry," but does not say in what ca
pacity he served. That regiment was
commanded by the late secretary Of
agriculture, Gen. J. M. Rusk. known
everywhere as Uncle Jerry Rusk.'
Thomas 3. Reed, the famous ex-
speaker of the house, was, according
to the congressional directory, ssacting

There You have the record OF ell the
men now IN congress who served In
the armies OF the north and Of the
south during that epoch in the history
OF the world when a great principle
was settled by the arbitrament Of war
instead OF by the reason and judgment
OF intelligent men.
