FORT PREBLE.


OF the battery at Fort Preble there
during the rebellion. Privates in the
regular army, after 80 years's service, are
retired on three-quarters pay, which
would amount to about $500 year. One
old veteran, Mr.. Venner, was retired
from this battery last March. He served
in the rebellion, and was engaged in
many of it's greatest battles. He has a
home now at Woodfords. The next vet
eran to be retired is Mr.. Phillips,
whose thirty years will expire in three
years. He saw much active service dur
ing the reb elton about Charleston, S.
c.. in New York regiment. Two 9TH
ers of the company, we think, complete
the list of those who took part in the
war. We understand that this battery
is made up chiefly of New England boys,
many from the country, and has the
reputation of being one of the finest bat
teries that ever occupied Fort Preble.
In conversation with one OF it's mem bers
yesterday, he said that the report in the
Daily PRESS was correct about their
putting themselves in readiness : to
march at moments notice during the
late strike. The order. as stated, came
from Washington, but through General
90. Howard, as this department comes
under his jurisdiction. The company is
still enoamped on the parade ground in
tents, and has rather warlike appear
ance. 1t was but few years ago that
about one-half of the soldiers at Fort
PrebIe were made up of veterans of the
civil. war. On account of the hards hips
and exposure while in active service,
their numbers have decreased very rapid
