Those who believe future state of rewards

their opinions of a mans merit from his sue

fortune the measure and standard OF his real
merit. since Providence would have no OppOr-

Drink deep. or taste nOt,' is direction
fully as applicable to religion, if we would find
it a source of pleasure, as it is to knowledge. A
little religion is. it must be confessed, apt to
make men gloomy, as little knowledge is to
render them vain; hence the unjust imputation
often brought upon religion by those whose
degree of religion is just sufficient, by con-
demning their course of conduct, to render them
uneasy; enough merely to impair the sweetness
of the pleasures of sin, and not enough to COM
pensate for the REIMBURSEMENT OF them by It's
own peculiar comforts. Thus, then, men bring
up, as it were, an ill report of that land OF
promise, which, in truth, abOunds with what
ever, in our journey through life, can best
refresh and strengthen us.-Wilberforce.

w. E. Atkins, of the South Minneapolis

neapolitans that visited saltwater last week,
and he gives an account of the visit in his paper.
from which we quote the following: 1.-The
party reached the prison at noon where they
were cordially received by Warden Wolfer and
turned over to the guidance of Asst. Deputy
j. S. GlennOn. A tour through the dollhouse
was made and some historic names were read
upon some of the cell doors. The prisoners,
over 400 in number, were observed as they
marched to dinner and many interesting facts
were learned as to the manner in which they
were handled. This part of the institution was
found in excellent shape and the prison officials
deserve credit for the perfect discipline and
systematic ruling of Stillwater's 400" A
splendid dinner was served the party after
which a visit was paid to THE MIRROR office.
The editor and office force were industrlOusly
engaged upon the sheet that will reach regular
subscribers this week and the office was voted
model one by all the visitors.

But Those "The Cannoneer" Knew Were
Not "Christian Soldiers"
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some time
ago there was published a communication
from a comrade taking exceptions to certain
remarks of mine in the current sketch Of
Charley Mink and his battery on the subject
Of Christian Soldiers"
] can only say in reply that on this as on
other subjects connected with the Army of
the Potomac / have simply recorded my own
experiences and observations.
My experience may have been exceptional,
and from the religious point of view unfor
tunate, but il is fact that there were no
men in any organization that l served with
who protested or pretended to be Christian
soldiers.
On the contrary, they were all rough hard
men or boys; they used profane language !;
they would make raids on suffers; they would
fight among themselves or with the men of
the neighboring commands when there was
no enemy in sight, and sometimes even when
the enemy was in sight; they would gamble
whenever they had any money; they would
steal such things as food, clothing, and arti-
cles of camp and garrison equipage; and, in
short, they were tough set generally.
have written about them as | knew them.
But do not think that anyone can find in
my writings the slightest reflection on their
courage-THE CANNONEER.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Lutz's article onsihe services and losses of
Western commands at Gettysburg is very
interesting, and there is no question that
they did well. af
Yet there is one point made by the COM
rade that causes US to rise in our place and
call on him to show his hand. He says the
Iron Brigade sustained the heaviest loss in
killed and wounded Of any brigade in the
Union army during the war. | guess not.
The Iron Brigades total loss during the
war was 1871 killed and died of wounds.
That of the Vermont Brigade, of the Sixth
Corps, killed and died of wounds, ,172.
1t is true Gettysburg was not a Sixth
Corps battle. Just the same it came in
quite handy at Culps Hill and at Little
Round Top, and one of lis batteries (Car-
ver's 1st N. Y. y joined, Cushing's battery at
Picketts charge and fed the Johnnies double
canister at 10 yards (See monument at
high-water mark.
The comrade will remember the Sixth
Corps came up quite lively in rear of the
Second Corps when that corps was hard
pressed by Pickett's people. They also did
a heap of following up after the battle.
The comrade mentioned the 5th Wis,
Sixth Corps regiment 1t was dandy-all

word TO say against the Western boys. They
kept their end up, but the Old Vermont

SHERMAN WAS THERE.
A Comrade Brings sherman's Own Words
as TO His Being on Kenesaw.

as To Ills Belng on kencsaw.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of May 90 Capt III. B. Vanneman, Co.
G., S4th Ind, draws on his fertile imagination
to tell us that Gen. Sherman in sending the
memorable message TO Gen. Corse at ALA
toona Ga, Oct. 5, 1864, was not on Kene-
saw Mountain when the message was sent,
but was on Pine Mountain. The Captain
claims to have been present at the time, but
why he should happen TO think of this at
this late day is the query.
Gen. Sherman in his Memoirs SAYS that
on the evening Of Oct he sgnaled from
Vining Station TO Kenesaw and to Rome TO
Gen. Corse to reinforce Col. Tourtelotte at
Allatoona, and that he (Gen. Sherman)
reached Kenesaw about o'clock a. M on
the morning of the 9Th.
These are Gen Shermans words rs taken
from Vol. II, page AZ: 1.-The Signal officer
on Kenesaw reported that since daylight he
had failed to obtain any answer to his call
for Allatoona, but while / was with him he
caught a faint glimpse of the tell-tale flag
through an embrasure, and after much time
he made out these letters, &c" IS"
"E.D III" "E," "R,n and translated the
message Corse is here"
Then the message was sent to Corse, on
which the song Hold the Fort is founded.
This would seem to clearly indicate that
Gen. Sherman was on Kenesaw at the time.
/ was sensibly aware of the fact that was
at Gen. Corse's end Of the string. NY regi-
ment lost l66 men out of 2S7 present and

number my brother was killed and was

cloth ia. Man Criticises 1.-THE Cam
noneer's" Account of GraveiIy Run.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE> In "The
Cannoneer's" history of the battle OF March
81 at Gravelly Run he makes the statement
that Ayrss, seeing preparations for attack
by the enemy, anticipated them by counter
attack, and at first that he pressed the
enemy.
From my own observation consider the
statement erroneous. Ayres's Division was
directed to hold the White Oak Road, and
was placed IN columns of divisions between
200 and 300 yards in rear of the picket-line.
CrawfOrd's Division did not connect on our
left, as the diagram shows. The Confederates
must have seen that but how | cannot tell,
as it was too foggy to see our picket-line
distinctly.
Near noon rapid firing on the picket
line brought every man to his feet, and the
order to deploy double-quick set the ball in
motion. / commanded Co. G, cloth Pa,
and mine was the left company in the di-
vision. ] faced left, and on double-quick
reached the position in line my company
should assume when l found those on my
right hesitating at rail fence four rails
high, over which / went, followed by my
company. Believing the picket-lne our
objective point, we rushed across a space of
200 yards, that at that time was raked by q
volley from the enemy, already moving to
wedge themselves between Crawford and
Ayres. Right here / lost 10 men in that
many seconds.
Arriving at the picket-line l put one
platoon in one picket stand and the other
one in one adjoining, when Capt. Miller
came up and formed on my right. A glance
at the enemy showed him to be in force
drawn up in columns, and advancing on a
slow double-quick, just fast enought to
with his lines well dressed.
Our main line-of-battle never advanced
beyond the rail fence, but opened fire at that
point, and the enemy coming in on the left,
both parties had to fire by the left-oblique.
This placed Capt Milers and my COM
pany between two fires, and / am satisfied
it was as hot if not hotter than l expert

far away from his station at Fort Robinson.
=" know fairly good story about him, IL
you care to have it.
He was one of the younger class OF
Second Lieutenants that came into the North
west just before the Indian troubles which
eliminated in the fight at Wounded Knee.
Preston had been assigned duty ia the 9th
Cav, the black regiment you know, and
those negro soldiers had a pretty strong
doubt about his heroic qualities.
But he gathered his men, according TO
orders, when the hostiles were rounded up
there at Standing Rock, and held one side OK
the square which inclosed the warlike and
dangerous band of savagss. The Indians
had come out of their tents with their
blankets around them, and their leaders
declared that they were unarmed, and that
they wanted to talk The negro cavalry
men dismounted, and, resting-at-wilI,' were
inclined to wander about rather more than
was agreeable to Preston's tidy West POINT
ideas, aud he hauled them back into line
They looked at his jaunty uniform, and al
most wished they might see him in real
trouble, just for the pleasure of testing
him.
Well, the Indians got to the middle Of
the horseshoe-like inclosure of troops, and
then at given signal by their chiefs they
threw off their blankets, and each one was
soon armed with rifle, Ratchet, and scalp
iDg-knife. They fred point blank at close
range and with deadly effect at the soldiers.
OF course you know the story of the battle.
That is tale that is told.
"The attack was so sudden and unex-
pected that the soldiers were thrown into
confusion, and they turned and ran to cover.
1t was the worst possible thing, but the first
thing that suggested itself to the imperiled
men.
"Only Lieut. Guy Preston, the youthful
West Pointer, looking around at that savage
band of murderers, caught sight of the gold
bars on bis shoulder straps-the insignia
of a rank in the Army of the Nation. And
the thought came to him, I can't run away
carrying that And he halted, turned,
called back bis men, and formed the first
line, which repulsed the Indians and finally
conquered them.
maybe it isn't as much of story as il
seemed at the beginning, and yet have
always thought it was well illustrative Of
the view an Army officer must take of his
position. He cannot carry the proofs Of that
position-the evidences of a trust reposed
in him by his cOuntry-he cannot carry that
insignia to dishOnor."
