The SD Ohio Claims to Be First on Il

The SD Ohio Claims to BE First on the
Works.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I notice in
Picket Shots of Dec. ~ that Joseph Groves,
Co. F, 9Th ILL.,, is claimed by DR.. David II.
Herrel to have been the first on the works at
Blakely. This statement find contradicted
in the issue of Jan. 81 by J. H. Coffman, Co.
i, 9th Iowa, who claims to be himself the
first upon those works
While would not wish to enter into the
controversy between these comrades should
like to give my experience / was private
in Co. G, e3d Ohio. Our brigade was that
originally commanded by Gen. Andrews,
but at the time of the action was in COM
mand of Col. Fred w. Moor, of our regi-
ment. The S3d was placed in the advance,
and was drawn up behind our own intrench-
ments in single line, with a space of about
four feet between each man, thus lengthen-
ing our line SO as to cover the front of the
brigade; the remainder of the brigade was
formed in our rear in regular line-of-battle.
/ should have stated that our position was
between GarTard's Brigade on our left and the
colored troops on our right. Our regiment
advanced upon the works while the second
line held its place in the intrenchments.
How soon the second line advanced am not

the works were carried. We went steadily
forward in face of the enemy's fire, and
captured the works in our front without
any assistance. After the enemy had ceased
to resist, and we were in full possession,
the firing was still going on both on our
right and left, showing concusively that the
troops there were still outside the works. So
/ conclude the 83d Ohio was the first regi-
ment to enter Fort Blakely ON the 9th of
April, 1865.
Our colOrs were not planted on the works,
because both fag-staffs were shot off and
could not be set up. This circumstance
gave color to the claims of some regiments
that their colors were first. AS to who was
the first man, will not pretend to say, but
if there was any first, there is no doubt in
my mind but he belonged to the s3d.
The time occupied in the assault from first
to finish was said by the officers watching
the action from the signal station to be 90
minutes, and in that time we lost eight men
killed and 30-odd wounded out of COM
mand of 500.-SAMUEL WINS Mauds, o.

Working for the Nocfor

a serious problem in the minds of American
statlsticians whether there is more money
spent each year upon whisky, tobacco, or
cigars. III is certain that an abnormal amount
OF hard-earned wages is going to doctors and
TO drug-stores- 1t is almost second natsre
to the American woman to "run for the
doctor" and the tired-out clerk or the
worked-out mechanic finds the larger portion
of his money each week going TO fiji some
rich doctors purse. This is all wrong.
Most of the ills of children or adults NAV
be directly traced to impure blood. The
effect of most stimulating bitters and drugs
is TO generally increase this impurity instead
of stopping it. Cleanse the blood! Revivily
ii with its strengthening properties, and you
can save money instead of working for the
doctor. DIR. PETERS VITALIzER, an honest
Swiss German remedy, which has now been
in use over 100 years, will perfectly and safely
do this. Cannot be had IN drug-stores, but
OF local retail agents only. You can find

How to Build up the Noble Order and In
crease It's Membership.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: You have
asked me for 8 short sketch OH How to BuilC
up the Sons of Veterans" and am only too
glad to comply.
Our object is one of the grandest ever given
to man. Since the Child of Bethlehem taught
patriotism and equality among the peoples Of
the earth, there never has arisen order Of
more value than the Sons of Veterans. We are
not second to, nor are we superior to, the GAR
Their object Is our object, their home ouI
home. Our aims our hopes are one.
Brave as they, for their blood flows in our
veins; patriotic rs they, for the fire of their
hearts burns upon the sacred altar of our being
fearless as they've are bone of their bone and
flesh of their flesh; loyal as they've know
but the one flag.
Be it ever said to the honor Of the Sons OF
Veterans that they of the Sons of Veterans
Guards were the first to march against organ.
lied anarchy and socialism in Chicago last Sum-
mer, during the terrible strike.
If people only realized the aims and objects
of the Order there would be far more supporters.
A few of the necessary things, in my opinion,
to be done for the Order are:
closer adhesion to the military feature. To
my mind, this would be a great step for the
Sons When / use the word military" in
tend the word to mean all it does mean.
Inc INTRODUCTION OF the insurance feature.
There seems to be q demand for insurance in
the Order. / am of the opinion it should be
given them; not necessarily forced upon them.
But once in the Order and in the insurance
part, fewer suspended members would DO the
result. If we had in the Order now all the
Sons who have been mustered there would be
no need Of articles on How to Build up the
Order"
State or District organizers should be ap-
pointed. To me this is of the greatest
moves for the Sons. personal visit to u Camp
from one able to do his duty is worth hundred
letters written by someone hundred miles
away-someone you never saw, nor never ex-
pect to see. / believe an organizer could easily
pay his way, and more, too by the organiza-
tiOn of new Camps, by an increase of per capita
tax. and by keeping the boys and Camp in
line.
More attention from the GAR. If only at
the next regular meeting the GAR. would vote
to organize Camp of S. of V. and appoint that
comrads who always obeys to see to it, behold,
1t would be done. And, presto Camps would
rise like magic, and while the Posts were lift
ing Camps the Camps would be lifting Posts.
These are suggestions dear TRIBUNE. i hope
they are not all bad. Yours, in F., c., and L.
