EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1 regret
that the "Cannoneer has made up his mind
to bid your readers farewell. You have had
many able and eminent contributions toyour
valuable paper, but the "CannOneer has
shown your brightest star. As war histor-
ian he has had few equals and no superior
He has carried rs back TO camp the march,
and battlefield with so much realization that
they have appeared to US like events of yester-
day. With a brave heart, youth, and educa-
ton he entered one of the grandest armies
that ever marched into battle, and through
those accomplishments was given opportuni-
ties that not often fall to the lot of the soldier
of the army. He made use of his time.
If he was brave in war he was no less in
peace. His epilOg, in connection with the
history Of Mink's famed battery, on the past
present and future of this country and the
Grand Army is more bold and daring than
the charge of Stewards Battery at Bethesda
Church. tfc
Maj. Mink and the bra-e survivors of his
battery may well be proud of their excellent
history so may the Fifth Corps and the re-
nowned Stewards Battery, all of which will
now pass along the lines of time, illuminated

l thank Maj. Mink for his beautiful tribute
to Warren. The condition of affairs from
March %, 1865, TO April 8, as contained in
that letter, could not bemore truthful. Every
soldier that served under Warren loved him.
We also remember with no less kindly feel
ing Gen. Griffin and Gen. Bartlett. / had
good reason to love them, having shared in
the various fortunes of the Third Brigade
from its inception at Halls Hill, Va, 1861,
under the intrepid Butteriield continuously
until its roundup at Appomattox.
So, let us thank THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for what it has done, and doubly so if it
could induce the "Cannoneer to return to
headquarters and write the history of the
Army of the Potomac from its organization to
Fredericksburg, December, 1862 and if our

A QUEER ACCIDENT.
How Freshly-equipped Regiment Lost II
Gums.

How tresnly-equ1ppeu Regiment Lost its
Gums.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE I was one
of detail made in July, 1864, to do guard
duty on a railway train from Resaca, Ga, to
Shermans lines in front of Atlanta. The
train was loaded with rations to supply the
camps scattered along the road for the men
at work in the pine forests getting ont
bridge timbers, of which Gen. Sherman kept
good supply. We went down to within a
short distance of the army. leaving our goods
without accident, ran back to Marietta, and
lay up for the night
The next morning, through the blunder
of someone, our train rolled out, the engineer
being told by the telegraph operator that
the road would be open for him to reach
Big Shanty. We were spinning along, when,
turning short curve at Kenesaw Mountain,
we met heavily-loaded train under good
head of steam. Result-a smash-up, but,
strange as it may appear. not one was killed
or even badly injured. Our train, being the
lighter, was badly wrecked.
The rest of the day and until near morn
ing was spent in clearing the track. We
boarded the first train going north and went
to Chattanooga.
While we were awaiting transportation
boys leaned their guns against pile of
lumber, and Government wagon struck
the lumber and, upsetting it, broke more
than dozen guns.
Late the same evening we boarded the
first train down to the front. Boarding q
train in that day meant to climb on top of
box-cars. On the same train were q num-
Der of soldiers going to the front to help
take Atlanta. These men had on new
clothes, though they might have belonged
to the same old regiment" and had bran
new guns and accouterments.
We arrived at our camp some time before
daylight, and left the train. Daylight re-
vealed the fact that through some oversight
the broken guns had all been left on the
train and their owners were in possession of
spanking bright new ones, and that we had
neglected to find out the name or to what
regiment any of the men belonged, and of
course mad to let the fellows 20. Strange,
wasn't it?-PRIvATE, Co. f, 10th Mo.

THE G. 8. A.
What Would Have Followed the Success of
the Southern Confederacy,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / have
noticed the publication of different views
on what would have been the result " if the
Copfederacy had succeeded" and will add
nv own. Slavery, the only bond of the Sc
ceding States, would have been destroyed on
their northern border. A line of custom
houses, no matter how close, could not pre-
vent smuggling in the thinly- peopled parts
and would not pay the expense of collecting
revenue. The States in rebellion had little
in common to hold them together, and, the
right of secession being established, the
Confederacy would have crumbled at the
first disagreement, and European Govern
ments would have taken some of them, as
we'll as our neighbor, Mexico, which was
saved from being taken by France only by
the surrender at Appomattox allowing the
United States chance to assert itself in time
TO send Sheridan there, if needed, to drive
Maximillian out, a service that barely escaped
being needed After the certain disruption of
the Confederacy, held together by rope of
sand, the more northern of the States would
have applied for readmission into the
Union-the greatest and grandest Republic
that this world has seen.
1t requires some moral courage to come
out squarely and say that you are glad that
you were beaten, and that you were wrong
from the start, especially after putting up
such magnificent fight as the Coniederacy
did; but have heard many men who fought
for the lost cause say that in the light of
the past years they were glad that they did
not win, but at the time they were heart
and soul with the cause of Secession. But
as Charleston was the hot-bed-where the
seeds of rebellion had been swelling since
the days of Calhoun and where the initiative
was taken in warning on the oldsfag-per-
haps it is too much to expect the Net0s and
Courier to accept the situation at this COM
paratively early day.
Although L spent nearly three years in
the Union army, and one-fourth of it in
Southern prisons, / can readily understand
the feeling which the Confederate soldier
takes in his service, and why few of them,
like the late Gen. Jubal A. Early, who
fought us so hard, should remain "unre-
constructed" These, however, are the older
men and are few. The lapses of time and
the regaining of wrecked fortunes in the
South will obliterate the feeling which the
Charleston paper processes to have.
If the Confederacy had succeeded, and up
to July 8, 1863, it had a prospect of it, there
would have been little left Of it 10 years

with his command proper TO Macon and

loathsome disease that follow in its train.
There was something captivating in the
idea" says Sherman, and deeming the
execution within the bounds of probable
success, he consented that after the defeat of
Wheeler's cavalry and breaking the road
Gen. Stoneman might make the attempt
with his cavalry"
1t is doubtless true that Sherman ordered
Stoneman and McCook to so time their
movements as TO meet at the precise time,
and to whip Wheeler's force, nearly twice
their ombined forces, with whatever of rein
forcements he might gather. / can scarcely
believe that Sherman was so sangune of
success of this scheme of union with Nc
Cook and the whipping of Wheeler as to
expect the accomplishment of the work in
that precise routine, when the destruction
OF this same railroad farther down would
effect the same object.
AS Stoneman did not follow the route
prescribed, but did accomplish the object of
destroying the railroad farther down, in con-
nection with the attempt on Macon and
Andersonville, 1T is much easier to believe
especially considering Gen. Stoneman's repu-
tation as a soldier-that he had at least I'M
derstood that the destruction of the road at
other points than Lovejoy would answer
the design as well. 1t is easy TO conceive
that in the hurry of final decision at the
last moment such difference of understand
ing might easily have arisen. and that he
had the option to change the routine as
circumstances required. Whatever may be
the decision of military critics upon Stone
mans course, in the great heart of the loyal
American people Stoneman will stand APP
proved and honored for his brave attempt to
liberate our thousands of poor, suffering
comrades at Andersonville.

GILT EDGED SPORTS.
MILLIONAIRE TURF CLUB FOR NOR
RIS PARK.
Will Provide for Polo, Golf, Tennis
and Track Travelling
Regularly.

NEW YORK, Sept. pa sport
ing club has been organized by
well known horse owners in the
Turf club, whose home will be sit
uated at Morris park. When the
magnificent course was first con-
ceived it was designed that it
should be more than a mere race
track. The property has fallen in
to the hands of gentlemen who are
in a position, socially and other
wise, to make a reality out of what
was only a dream. While the
Turf club in organization is thing
apart from the Westchester Racing
association, which latter will have
the exclusive conduct of the racing
proper, under its especial super
vision, there is a unity of purpose
that makes them Identical in their
aim.
With the Westchester Racing as
ISOLATION came the idea of this
Turf club. In consequence of a
call by the Jockey club, an in
augural meeting was held at New
port on August 8 last, at which
time it was formed and commit
tee appointed to draw up consti-
tuition and bylaws and to issue in
vitations to gentlemen to become
members of the Turf club.
Mr.. Perry Belmont was chosen
chairman of this committee on or
paniZatiOn and the success met
with was very flattering. The fol-
lowing gentlemen have agreed to
serve as governors: F. r. Apple
ton, j. j. Astor, j. III. Beekman,
Perry Belmont, friedrich Bronson,
Royal Phelps Carroll, V. Cruger,
Henry V. Deforest, Robert Goelet,

Center Hitchcock, A. 1selin, Jr.,
E. C. Lamontague, Ogden Mills, j.
P. Morgan, E. c. Potter, w. HI.
Sands and William c. Whitney.
The Turf club proposes to COM
bine the attractions and uses of a
country club with the privileges of
all race meetings which may be
held at the course. The club will
lease from the Westchester Racing
association the club house and
stabling, with as much of the
grounds as are necessary to pro-
vide for polo, golf, lawn tennis and
such other athletic games as may
be carried on without interfering
with the racing.

George X. Lloyd, of the Tin and
Sheet Iron workers, is on this COM
mittee. He said that he had writ

Paris and asked him how it was
founded and conducted. The sec
rotary replied that the Bourse de
Travail was founded in 1887 and
two years later it was reorganized
blythe French governments which
gave it a place and annual appro-
priation of $4,000 francs for its
support. Delegate Lloyd said that
the committee has several plans,
one which is to build labor
palace, where all trades unions can
meet. One of the schemes to raise
money to build such a palace is. to
ask the Legislature for an appro-
priatiOn.

THE NEXT YACHT RACE.
Formal Challenge Transmitted to

LONDON, Sept. 23.-J. NJ. Soper,
the Yacht designer, came to Lon
don today and had a conference
with Charles Day Rose, regarding
the details of the yacht with which
the proposed challenge for the

was agreed to communicate with
the secretary of the Royal Victoria
Yacht club, who will cable the
New York Yacht club as follows:

New YORK, Sept. 23.-When a
representative of the Associated
Press showed the cable message to
eX-Commodore Jas. ID. Smith,
chairman OF the Americas Cup
committee,tba veteran yachtsman
read the news eagerly and said:
"This indeed, is very sportsman
like challenge and l am very glad
to hear it. or course our commit
tee has nothing to do with it, but
when the direct challenge arrives,
have no doubt special meeting
of the New York Yacht club will
be called and new cup committee
appointed. In his preliminary
cable, Rose said that he begged to
challenge for the Americas cup
next year, the race to be sailed on
conditions satisfactory to the cup
committee. Ia the cablegram you
have just shown me, Rose bears
out his previous cablegram. and
leaves the conditions absolutely in
the hands of any cup committee
that may be appointed. Whether
/ shall be member of that COM
mittee or not, | cannot now say
positively, but the very first con.
ditions will be adopted. This is
good news, indeed, for American
yachtsmen, and in my opinion it
will not be necessary for US to
build another Defender.

NEW YORK, Sept. 90. - A. G..
Love, formerly assistant postmas-

the steamer Advance from Colon,
as prisoner, in charge of United
States Officer Renfrew. Love, it is

supposedly via Galveston, and
managed to reach the United

that he returned voluntarily and
was glad to return and stand trial.
