fire through, but as the Colonel was there
himself and said, Go ahead, boys" we did.
Just outside of our main line were several
little shallow rife-pits, which to occupy
during the day was almost certain death, as
the rebs in some buildings close to hand
could pick our men off without much trouble.
But at night these pits had to be occupied,
as there was danger in the rebs thanking
Fort Sanders in the darkness. Once in these
pits you had to keep very low, as the rebs,
having the range on them, would fire away
at random at night, making it very danger
Gus for the occupants
1t finally got so bad that no one was anx-
ious to be detailed for said duty. The night

comrade of the same company drew the cor
responding number. We two were to occupy
the same pit At the time was very glad
of it, as neither of us was very stout and
would not take up much room.
As darkness came on we received orders
to prepare to occupy the pits. Standing IN

both plunged headlong, with the bullets

those witty, brave young native-born Irish
men who don't know how funny they are,
and kept up a steady stream of talk. Other

exposure.
His fun was cut short very suddenly about
midnight. Some 200 men belonging to, /
think, the Goth Mich. came charging past
us, driving the rebels from the houses men
toned near our lines occupied by their
sharpsbOoters and setting them on fire. In
a very short time they were all ablaze, the
light being so great that one could have read
from it. Then every battery under Long

you things were lively for time.

realize some of the hardships and sufferings
that we endured during and after the siege,

their minds, and would not speak SO con-

The 9Th Ind.

This regiment was organized at Camp
Morton, Indianapolis, in the latter part of
July and the early part of August, 1861, and
was mustered in and reported ready for serv-
ice with Col. Paterson in command, and II.
ID. Washburn as Lieutenant Colonel. We
left Camp Morton and went to st. Louis,
Mo-, and camped in Lafayette Park, where
we received our arms and equipments hav-
ing been hurried to the front without being
armed. We were soon after ordered to JEFF
fersOn City, where we were schooled in the
manual of arms and the evolutiOns of COM
pany and regimental drills. We did not
stay here long, for we were soon ordered to
reinforce the Home Guards at Boonville
who had been attacked by the rebels. On
arriving near the scene of action, it being
near shutdown, we got off the cars and begun
our first march. We camped that night in
drenching rain. The regiment did no fight
ing on this occasion, as the rebels had been
defeated by the Home Guards before its ar
rival. 1t took part in the battles of Pea
Ridge, Grand Bluff, Jackson, Miss, Cham
pion Hill, Black River Bridge, the siege of
Vicksburg, Opequon, Fishers Hill, Cedar
Creek, and many other engagements.-L. II.

eral. 1t was also commanded by Col. John
l. Curtin, Brevet rigadier-General. The
regiment was sent to Hilton Head, S. c., in

assigned to Willcox's Division, and it was
then that Col. Welch assumed command of
the brigade. Of this regiment 426 men re-
enlisted in East Tennessee after serving

The Goth n. ]

There were three distinct regiments from
the State of New York that bore this title.
The first of these was the Militia of the
State, and the second was a regiment re-
cruited largely from the Militia, and bear
ing its number. The Goth n. Y. Militia
was mustered into the service of the United
States on May 8, 1861, at Washington, d. c.,
to serve three months, and was mustered
out on Aug of the same year. Besides
this it served three other terms, from May
26, 1862, to Sept. 8, 1862; from June %,
1868, to July 25, 1868; and from July g.,
1864, to Oct 6, 1864. 1t took part in the
first battle of Bull Run.
The 69th n. Y. Veteran was recruited by
special authority from the War Department,
but was soon after turned over to the State
and was reorganized and formed part of the
famous Irish Brigade, of Hancock's Division,
Second Corps. This regiment was mustered
into the service on Nov. II, 1862. 1t was
composed mostly of members of the 69th
N. Y. Militia, who had returned from their
first enlistment, and men enlisted from New
York City. There were, however, three
companies raised outside of New York City.
These were Co.'s D, K, and F, raised re-
spectively in Chicago, Buffalo, and Brook
lyn. 1t fought at the Bloody Lane at An
tietam, and again at the battle of Fredericks-
burg, where it lost 16 officers and 112 men
out of 228 engaged. In 1868 it was con-
solidated and formed into two companies
In the month of February, 1864, the regi-
ment returned to New York, where it was
reorganized, and six new companies recruit
ed, the old companies taking the letters B
and F. At the end of their term of service
the original members were mustered out,
except veterans, and the regiment remained
in service until June 80, 1866. 1t took part
in the battles of Yorktown, Fair Oaks, NAL
vern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chan
cellorsville, Gettysburg Mine Run, Wilder
ness, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and many
other engagements. Out of a total enroll
ment of 1913, it lost $50 men, or III per
cent. 1t is one of the 800 fighting regiments
as given by Fox.
There was also an organization in the
Corcoran Legion that was known as the
69th N. Y. 1t was organized in November,
1862, and served in Gibbons Division, Sec
ond Corps. 1t was also known as 182d N. Y.
National Guard Artillery.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
uuires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrhatarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have 50 much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1894-12-21

John Burns, M. p, the British
delegate to the annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor,
spoke in Cooper Union, New York,
on the night of the 5th, to an i'm
mense audience.
Speaking of the pensions paid to
the veterans of the civil war, Mr..
Burns said Il:
"These men fought for a great
principle. 1t was right to reward
them. But if we deem it right to
reward these men, who at best were
partakers in the bloody and brutal
trade of war, do you not consider
that the toilers in the slums, the
men who in removing the garbage
from your streets inhale malarial
odors which bring them tc the
grave the men who in the mines Of
Pennsylvania lose their lives in OBJ
tanning for your homes light and
heat the men who toll in the fur
naces of Pittsburg and other cities
do you not think that the families
of these men whose lives have been
lost in peaceful employment, or who
broken down in health, wear out
the ends of their lives in your slums
amid misery and starvation, are
more worthy of pensions than those
who fought in battle 7 (Cheers.
1t is the voice of the husbandless
woman and the fatherless orphan
which l hear crying for the justice
they have been denied"

Stewart ON the Message.

Senator Stewart-The financial
plan in Mr.. Cleveland's message,
stripped of verbiage, means that the
United States must give bankers
SIS for $3.50. Any bank that
will deposit $22.5O of legal tender,
whether greenbacks or treasury
notes, will receive SIS Of our gov
eminent money, a cunning way Of
retiring greenbacks. Itremoves all
restrictions Of the banking law
against expansion and contracting
by the banks to enable them and
their associates to "rig" the market.
