After q Fire Bug.

CLIFTON FORGE. Va, Sept. 14.-An-
other incendisry fire in frame dwell
ing in rear OF the Ford building on
Commercial street was discovered BY
Policemen Corcorman last night. The
town was much excited this morning
over the report that the officer had said
he knew who set the fire. To day he
denied having madc such statement
many citizens think the town council
should hold special meeting and
investigate the matter. Incendiarism
has been quite frequent of late and the
owner iof the Ford block lost his life in
the destruction Of his building in July.

THE WHOLE DIVISION YELLED, HooA
HooAt"

Capt. F. M. Galbraith, of Co. /, same regi-
ment, was making desperate efforts to climb
q small dogwood bush that would not sup
port his weight. Every time he got up out
of supposed harms way the sapling would
bend and let him down to the ground again,
and then with yell, Hooa! HOoa" he would
spring for the top of the dOgwood again.
To oomplicate things little more, and add
to the Captains downfall, Ike Dobbs was
trying to get to the top of the same dog
wood at the same time. Everybody was
running into everybody, and for few min
utes Capt. Webster, of Co. X, was perform
ing war dance at the head of his company,
with his haversack and canteen swinging
above his head as Comanche would BRAN
dish war club or scalping-knife.
After the excitement was over, the battle
fought and the boys were inquiring Where

at Black River our brigade was sent out
some IL or Is miles northeast, to q small
town or village Il do not now remember
the name) to intercept small body of
rebel cavalry. 1t was fruitless, hard
march of % or 80 miles, and the brigade
got back to the main body of the army on
Black River sometime about 8 or 8 o'clock
at night Of the same day.
We went into camp on O heavily timbered
ridge just west of the river. OF course
every body was tired and worn out, hungry
and cross. The weather was very warm, and
the men lay down where they stacked arms,
without supper or bed, many of them so
worried and fatigued that they were sound
asleep in few minntes The old soldier
will remember ENTHUSIASTICALLY, to supply
the army with lean, fresh beef and soup
bones each corps, and sometimes each divis-
ion, had herd of POOR, lean, lank cattle with
them that was driven along with the COM
mand, and a number of them slaughtered
each night for use next day. Our division
had at that time 100 on $50 head of these
cattle corraled to tflc lett of the division,
around promiscuouAg,s some dOubly and
some in squads, and nearly all sleeping
soundly. %
Along about 10 or II o'clock some Hoo
sier" or Sucker" away up at the left of the
division, where the stock was corraled, be-
gan to yell "Hooa! Hooa! Hooa!" and in
one minute there was thousand men up
liallooing at the top or their voices Hooa!
Hooa!n and in two minutes the whole d.
vision was up dancing around in the dark
like mad, and frantcally waving their arms
and shouting Hooa! Hooa." Everybody
supposed the cattle had stampeded and were
running through the division from left to
right, and as every body was half asleep
when they got on their feet. from the
hub-bub supposed the cattle TO be right ON
them. 1t was very dark and hard to distin-
guish believing bull from a yelling soldier.
Some men in Their frenzy tried to climb the
first tree or saplDg they could find. Col.
Sanford, of the 18th ILL.,, upon retiring for
the night, had partially disrobed. as many
of the other officers of the regiment had
done, and stretched himself on the ground
at the roots of large poplar tree. In the
midst of the confusion and uproar he was
making futile efforts to climb to the first
limb of the big tree some 25 or 80 feet over
his head.

Representative TrelOur.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Hon. VIM.
III. Trelour, who succeeds the Hon. Champ
Clark, of the Ninth Missouri District, in the
next Congress, was born in Iowa County,
Wis, in September. 1850. He was educated
in the public schools with money earned by
his own industry, and finished his education
in the Iowa University, at Mt. Pleasant.
He moved to Mexico, Mo-, in 1871, entering
Hardin College as a member of the faculty,
and is still a member. As an educator he
has been very successful. Up to the time Of
his nomination he had taken little interest in
political matters, except in general way.
He is in full accord with the Republican
party and its principles.
While not a soldier himself, he is the
stanch friend Of the old soldier, and will
ever be found a strong advocate of all their
claims. Mr.. Trelour understands the wants
Of the people, and will represent them in
the coming Congress much better than the
Airy" Champ Clark has d0ne.-M. r.

crowd upon the surface of our surrounding

lett in triumphant possession Of the battle
field, with
"our captive foe around us

But most interesting is the final episode,
which happened when we crawled out of
our narrow quarters in the morning. Ihat
sheet-iron smokestack was literally coated,
like the fleece Of downy wool upon the
meek and lowly sheep with buzzing wings.
And the moment eye scribe" and his bunk

actually, If you will believe me, arose from
the ground, and, passing through the inter
vening canopy of forest foliage overhead,

OF 1000 wondering eyes OF the gallant 9Th
Wis. boys, it disappeared in distant skies,
and SCARED away to heavens. c. MILES,

The National tribune., 1895-03-07

When we had reached the place from
which we started, and were out of direct
| range of the enemy, we rallied our men, re-
formed them, and advanced again in line-of.
battle to the crest of the hill, advancing O
strong skirmish-line to the edge of the
woods, and opened fire upon the rebels, and
thus kept them inside their works. This
position we kept all day and night Of the
10Th of May, without any support from the
regiment on our left, and with no troops be-
tween MS and Gen. Hancock. We took the
precaution to extend our picket-line in his
direction, but we did not have more than
$50 men, and all we could do was to sup
port the skirmishers in our front, and pre-
vent an advance on the part of the rebels by
showing bold front. We sent several men
to Gen. Burnside asking for help, but could
get none. Finally the Colonel sent the Ad-
jutant TO make an urgent appeal for aid.
He reiurned and said that Gen. Burnside said
we would have to hold on the best we could,
Tor he had no troops to spare, as the enemy
had advanced ont of their works and at
tackled him in the flank, on the Fredericks-
burg road.
The Adiutant told us that when he was
there the rebels had made several charges
on our artillery, and that there was a des-
perate fight over the possession of the guns
So we concluded to stay there until driven
of. 1t was a nasty old night that we put
in. Our pickets kept up steady lire TO let
the rebels know we were there, and about
every half hour some of our piekets would
come back with the word that the rebels
were advancing, when we would get the
men in line and alter standing few min
utes they would fall down to the ground,
dead asleep.
We maintained our place until about 8
a. m. on the morning of the 18th, when a new
regiment was sent to our support, which was
either the 3lst or 32d Me. They opened fire
on the enemy's works at the risk of shooting
the pickets OF the Sd Nd, which were in
their front at the edge Of the wood, who had
to lie down to avoid the blizzard" that
was let loose by this new regiment. 1t was
laughable to watch that regiment engaged
in this wild fusillade; and / am not sur
prised to learn that Col. Fox made an esti-
mate of the amount OF lead required to kill
a man during the late war, for ] know that
no rebel was hit by that fire, which they
kept up for at least half hour.
The thing that now interests me is to know
if that was the 31st Me-, and whether it
was the same regiment that held the right
OF Gen. Potter's Division the day before,
and failed to support us. We heard that it
was a new regiment, and that they never
rallied until the next morning, and were sent
to our support again, and helped to fill the
gap between the Second and Ninth Corps,
which remained open all night of the 10Th,
and confirms the statement of Gen. Hancock,
which / know to be more reliable than the
Memoirs of Gen. Grant.-JosEPHF T. CARTER,
