KING No.T0.BAc AND HIS WORK IN AMERICA.
The Visit of a Monarch that Has Brought
Health, Vigor and Money to
MANY Men.

MANY of our readers no doubt noticed in the last
issue the large announcement OF King No-1o-ba
Less than five years ago he was unknown Ia
America and since that time he has been crowned
and called King by hundreds of thousands of hap
py. vigorous men, who point to him with pride and
hold him dear as the means OF their delverance
from tobacco slavery.
Outlines tobacco's victims look at the dying
spark in the cigar stump, or at the big. mastcated
'chaw" of tobacco just expectorated, and with
nerves nicotined with nicotine mentally resolve,
Now that is my last. / will use it again
l know that il is injuring me physically and hnnn-
cially, and my nerves are becoming so irritated
that can't stand the least annoyance any more"
What is the result? These good resolutions are
generally made while the effect of the use of to-
bacco practically paralyzes the cravings OF millions
of irritated centers, and just soon as the
effects commence to pass away these good resolu-
tons weaken, showing concusively that the use
of tobacco is not habit but disease OF the nerv
Gus sy stem caused by the education of the nerves
to crave for the nicotine poisoning. what then, Is
the easy, permanent natural way to relieve your
self OF the of tobacco? Certainly not by dis
continuing it and suffering the nervous reaction
and prostrating effects and mental degeneracy
sure to follow the long and continued use OF to-
bacco. Does it not suggest itself to you that the
uraI thing to do is to take remedy that is spe-
officially prepared to eradicate the effects of the
nicotine in the system and TO overcome the nerve
craving effects and restore the tobacco-charged
nerves to Il normal and healthy condition. To this
we all say, Yes, where is the remedy?" You
will find il in No-To- Bac This is easily said. and
all naturally ask for proof This is all answered
In the simple statement that If NoTo- BAG fails to
cure the proprietors, The Sterling Remedy Com
pany, of New York, Montreal and Chicago. have
SO much faith in their remedy that they positively
guarantee to refund the money, and the concern
being owned and operated by some of the most
reputable business men of the East and West, IS
absolutely reliable. and we are glad TO say able IN
every way to live up to its guarantee.
The sale of No-To- Bac within the past few years
has assumed enormous proportions; almost en-
tirely developed upon its merits and the recon-
mendat0ns of the cured. So great is the sale that
1t is hardly possible to go into any leading drug
store without finding 1t on sale. anu the druggist
has nothing but words Of praise TO give 1t.

REMARKS TO THE POINT.
Serg't Breen on Several Statements of Com
rade Davenport.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l am not
at all anxious for controversy, but must say
in reply to Serg't Alfred Davenport, 9Th
n. Y, in the issue of Sept. 6, that it seems
strange that regiment of nine companies,
side by side with his regiment for several
months should be known to him as consist
ing of but four.
Again, would say in reply to his para
graph giving Sykes's Regulars the credit of
300 men at Manassas No. 1, that while there
were eight companies in the battalion, it Is
no reason why the strength of the compa-
MES should be construed as 100 each. In
those days the maximum was "a men to the
company; and, as we were of the old Army,
we could not run up to 101, as was after
ward allowed for the new regiments, 11th
to 10Th inclusive, in infantry.
AS to the butting of the man in the neck
with musket when nearing the Kappa
hammock in going over to Fredericksburg,
doubtless the act was al reminder to keep
him in the middle of the road to the front,
instead of allowing him to shirk to the
rear, as probably he intended to do. The
Sergeant knows very we'll that some men
were always ready to eyade duty, particu-
larly that of the immediate battlefield just
at the time looming up before them.
But my dear comrade, as you have ex-
pressed the wish, let us drop the washing Of
any more dirty linen in The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE-PATRICKB REEN, First Sergeant

Comparisons Are Odious.

o. L. Allison, Corporal, Co. A, 18th w.
Va, Knobnoster, No, writes: In recent
issue / notice that Serg't w. E. Webster, in
making a comparison between the Eighth
and Sixth Corps, gets off his base He says
Gen. Sigel, at the battle of Cloyd's Mountain,
ordered two companies of the 18th w. Va. to
support Carlin's battery, but to his surprise
they would not advance nor move an inch.
Now, Comrade Webster, the 10Th w. Va.
was never at Cloyd's Mountain, but four
companies of the 10Th supported a bat
terry at the battle of New Market, and
Gen. Sigel sat on his horse directly in the
rear of our line, and when we had to leave
there those guns went with us, with the
exception of one piece. The horses were all
killed. / have not word to say against the
Sixth, for it was fighting corps. On the
morning of Oct. 10, 1864, l noticed that
some of the Sixth could do as tall travelling
as the Eighth. This thing of one regiment
or corps doing all the fighting is bosh."

A SLAVE TWELVE YEARS.
One of the Characters of Remarkable
Piece of Fiction Still Alive.


EDfroR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The ref
erence to Solomon Northrup; or, Twelve
Years a Slave" made by COmrade Chandler
in your issue of 9th inst, rather excited
my curiosity, owing, perhaps, to the fact
that the parties all resided in this vicinity,
and the principal actor is still living. 1t
was my good fortune, to possess one of the
books, which found i'll secondhand book
store. The comrade will notice that the
principal kidnapepIwas known as Merrill
Brown in the book. This name was as
sumed, his proper name being Alexander
Merrill. He now resides in this town. in
fact has always lived here, as did his father
before him. He is hale and hearty at 50
years, man of good qualities and good
citizen.
Ny purpose in writing was to relate the
story from Merrill's standpoint, as he has
related it to me. Merrill was in the show
business; Platt, or Northrup, was an expert
on the violin, and 40 they became ac-
quainted The darby came to him one day
and said he had scheme by which they
could both make some money; he went on
to say that if Merrill would take him down
South and sell him they would divide the
money and after time Platt would make
his escape.
This Merrill agreed to, and in carrying
out the plan they went to Alexandria, Va,
Merrill says that the negro played his part
to perfection. He protested a great deal of
love for his old master and shed tears when
they were about TO part. He also asked as
a favor that he might be permitted to play a
parting tune on his violin. Merrill whistled
this tune to me some years ago, and as |
remember it, it was "Sweet By-and-By."
Very appropriate, indeed, as it was many a
long day before Platt regained his freedom.
There was long litigation over the affair
in Saratoga County, of which l never knew
the particulars. Whether MerrilPs story is
true am unable to say. know the book
is very interesting. In fact, as a work of
fiction 1 thought it ahead of Uncle Toms
Cabin."-A. A. GARDNER, Co. ID, ODD N. Y,

A Parting Shot in the Skirmish Over the
Behavior of the Different Corps There.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The COM
rades of the Eighth and Nineteenth Corps
are very sore when anything is said about
the Cedar Creek battle, and they do not
take time to look up facts.
Comrade Turner, of the Eighth Corps,
hits the nail on the head when he asks if
there was not screw loose somewhere.
claim that if the lines of the Eighth Corps
had been properly picketed the surprise
could not have taken place. Somebody was
responsible.
l am not personally acquainted with Com
rade Wright, 18TH n. Y. However, l do
know his regiment, and its record is No.
l. and amongst my GAR friends former
members of the 18th are nearest to me. In
anAwer to Comrade Wright / claim the
Sixth Corps was not driven back. 1t had
thrice repulsed the most desperate charges
of the whole rebel army and twice made
counter-charges, driving the JOhnnies into
the creek. When the corps was outf1anked
it was necessary TO lnterpose an organized
force, and there were no organized troops
except the cavalry. / am well aware nu-
merous writers and so-called historians
claim the whole army was driven pell-mell
six miles to the rear. Some even claim we
were driven to Winchester. In fact, we took
position about two miles in the rear of
the position held by the Second Division
(Getty's) of our corps early in the morning,
single regiment (the I'd VT holding the
position vacated. 1t is claimed that Early's
army numbered about 10000, although
Early says he had about 5000 muskets
We know the latter is not true, as Sheridan
held receipt for about 13, 900 prisoners. l
saw an ex-Confederate Major at Winchester
two years ago, and he informed me Early 3
army numbered over $4,000.
The comrade will remember the rebs did
not go camp-hunting in the early part
of the battle. The strength of the three
corps at Cedar Creek, with their losses,
gave in the issue of Feb. l, from Sheridan's
official report. Paste it in your hats COM
radeS.
The comrades make great mistake in
this They claim certain things as facts,
and write them up as such, when, if they
would take the trouble to look up the Off
cial reports no misstatements could be made
There is no question but what the Nine
teenth Corps was in "a trying situation, the
Johnnies firing on ore side and the Eighth
Corps running through their ranks. Moth
ing else could be expected. 1t was different
with us in the old Sixth Corps. We were
not recruits. We started in under Little
Mac; were in all the big scraps; never
were knocked out"; were doubled up a
little in the Wilderness-that is the Third
Division was, who were not original Sixth
Corps troops; however, we drove the
Johnnies back and got cur line again with
out any outside help. Had we been in the

Gen, Banks Had Orders to Prevent Mary
land Seeding.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The recent
death of Gen. Banks revived in my memory
an incident wherein he played an important
part, and for which [ looked in vain among
the numerous paragraphs concerning him
published Immediately following his de-
cease. a.
Gen. Banks performed an act which stands
singly and alone in all the annals of the
war. He prevented Mary land from seced-
ing To be sure, he was ordered to do so
but he had in charge the carrying out of the
order.
MARYLAND was in fever-heat of excite
ment, and impatiently awaiting the oppor-
tunty to take the necessary action. The
Legislature of that State was due to con-
vene on the 18th of September, 1861, just
33 years ago to-day. 1t was known that
the members would, without delay, pass the
act which would cut them asunder, theo-
retically, at least, from the Union.
On the 18th Simon Cameron directed Gen
Banks to prevent the assembling of the
Maryland Legislature. This was a wal
order, and nothing short of it. Gen. Banks
and his Lieutenants were on hand, and as
fast as a member made his appearance and
could be got at he WAS summary arrested
on a charge of plotting against the Govern
ment and fastened away to some fort fur
Their north, or where Uncle Sam could hold
him at all hazards.
Two DAYS after the issue of the order g
dozen or more were thus seized and hurried
away, the days catch including two editor:
of Secession papers, Congressman, and the
candidate for Governor. The people OF
Maryland, particularly of Frederick and
Baltimore, were almost beside themselves
at these acts, and no wonder.
The 18th, the day for the converting of the
Legislature, arrived and went, and mo quo
rum" Such members assembled as had
escaped the drag-net of Gen. Banks and
looked anxiously all day for accessions
enough to form quorum, but in vain.
On the day following nearly all of those
who had waited were arrested and conveyed
away. This substantially fixed the case sc
effectually that it was useless to depend
upon any Legislative act. The arrests o.
the 18th included the Speaker and the Clerk
of the House, and in all, say, about 20.
Gen. Banks has never to my knowledge
been given credit for this bold act. In this
connection, / may be permitted to say that
the non-secession of Maryland resulted il
that State contributing troops to both sides
A remarkable practice, resulting from the
above fact, was that in speaking during the
war of either of the organizations from
Mary land upon the Union side, the speake,

name with deal of emphasis.-D. Ell

record of Corp1 Spohrs company-VOl. 8, p.
721-and l find by this record that Corpl
Spohr's company, which is Co. K, 1880 Ohio,
had 129 men, including those transferred
from other regiments that it took the field
Nov. IS, 1864, and s.:ved until Gen. John
ston's surrender, near Raleigh, on the Goth
of April, 1865, when the war was over, a
period of five months and seven days.
| find that the casualty list of his company
| from battles for its entire war service is one
| killed and four wounded, and that it's list OF
| casualties at Franklin was one killed and
| three wounded. In other words, its loss at
Franklin, as officially reported, was less than
| 3 per cent, while the loss of the 111th Ohio
that the Corporal says was not where the
! fighting was the thickest, is % per cent.
| These statistics need no comment.
This is the first time since the war that
have ever discussed the battle of Franklin
in public, but in justice 10 the brave men
who Won Immortality on that desperate
field, / cannot remain silent when an at.
tempt is made 10 belittle their services. In
conclusion, let me say that have the Off
cial casualty list of Franklin, which proves
that the 111th Ohio lost more men killed al
Franklin than any other regiment of thu
entire army, and no man Of my regimen
fell with his back to the enemy.
Furthermore, the per cent. of loss of thu
111th Ohio at Franklin was the greatest o
any regiment engaged. Our loss in killee
alone was over II per cent, according t.
published reports of the total loss in killed
of the entire army engaged.-IsAAC r
