How 1t Looks to the People Of the Dif-

The people of Neptune are often in
doubt as to whether or not the sun is
shining. They are so far away from
the great central orb that it is o mere
speck in the sky which only men with
go9d eyesight can see. Plenty of plan
etsthat are swinging about in the heav-.
ems look bigger thSn the sun to the: peo-
plsof Neptune. THOSE on Uranus are.
little better off.
4 Upon Mercury, on the, other hand!
the sdn comes up like an immense new!
mQonl and it. burns with an intense
glare, and is so hot that the people there;
canicook their bEealx lxfast by the light Of
the morning sun. When the sun sets
on Mercury it is like large part of the.
heavens dropping out of sight, and q,
cold breeze immediately springs up
Even on Venus the sun looks so big as to
scare an inhabitant of the earth could
he be transported TO that planet.
From Mars it looks good deal
smaller than it does from the earth, but
q year on Mars is equal to two years on
the earth. Another curious thing
about Mars Ia that it has two moons, re-
yolying in different directions. One of
these little moons is hardly bigger in
the sky than good-sized cheese, but
It aiss es through space with the speed of
q ctHpon ball This little; moon goes
sIkiIHning close to the surface of Mars,
and The people there, with their long
distance guns, could easily shoot up and
hit it.
They have to look sharp on Mars to
see this little moon, which comes noise
lessly from one direction and disap-
pears around the corner in another, re-
gardless of the movements OF the reg
ular moon. iNY4T2

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: | have
just had the pleasure of reading A. II
Boes's very accurate account of the terrific
battle at Malvern Hill.
While all of the old vets of the Union
army may not agree with you on some OF
the progressive political measures now be-
fore the people, we all can say with truth
that your paper, The NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
has always been the true and reliable friend
OF the Union veteran.
In writing of the battery that did such
excellent service at Malvern Hill, Comrade
Boies gives the credit to Il of the 9Th U. S.
Arr, when You know yourself that he
should have written ID of The 9Th u. S.
Art.-Grffin's Battery, originally from West
Point, \. Y. But, of course, this was an in
adyertence on the part-of Comrade Boies
The men of Batle-y ID may have been Of
very good material, but it was the excelling
genius Of Gen. Griffin that made it, as the
comrade writes, second to none in the whole
army.
Too much honor cannot be given to this
great ar,illerist, Maj. Gen. Charles Griffin,
for the services winch aided so very much
in the triumph of the Union cause in the
late war.
Maj. Rittenhouse, Sergts Stephen Kane
and Broderck, and Griffin's Old Orderly,
Thomas Sheridan, who stole the ham-all
living in this city and prosperiDg-will join
me in thanks 10 Comrade Boes for the honor
he has done the dear old Battery d of the

troops Twenty miles north of Baton
Rouge was situated what was termed the
Confederate Gibraltar 1t was perpeudicu-
lar bluff, crescent-shaped, and thickly covered
with what had been dense forest, leading to
q ravine in the rear. The trees had all been
hewed and left as they had fallen, and the
ground was covered at intervals with masked
batteries, torpedoes, and pitfalls.
Early in the morning of May q, 1863, the
order was given 10 advance. The Confed-
crate sharpsh0oters picked off tine officers
all along the line as they clambered and
climbed over the fallen timber. The works
Of the enemy were silent until our soldiers
reached a certain point, and then the fire OF
shot, shell, and musketry opened.
The dry leaves and boughs of the fallen
timber took FIRE in the rear of the advance
and the dead and dying were burned for the
space of a quarter of a mile in the line Of
the charge. Our forces were repulsed with
terrible slaughter. Attempts to reach the
rebel works by night and day followed, but
only attended with direful results.
June Ia came, and our troops engaged
again in general charge, deep trenches
having been dug as far as possible up to the
breastworks OF the enemy so as TO be ready
at dawn for this assault. All day long the
brave men pushed forward only TO he driven
back by the enemy. Brave COL PaiBe, 4th
Wis, when within 30 yards OF the enemy's
works was shot down and borne to the rear.
The first three men who took charge of him
were killed, and other brave men took their
places. The enemy was again victorious.
Gen. Banks in this extremity determined
TO make last impetuous onslaught on the
enemy's works. He called for 1000 yolun-

teers to lead the storming column to charge
at the head OF the army over the abats
across the ditch, with it's six feet of water,
and through the cheyaux-de-irise, with its
pointed sticks, threatening instant transfix-
ion for the wounded soldiers who fell upon
them. He issued the following order:

TO fifty engage in the assault. July a. 1868
was the day settled upon for the final at.
tack.
Gems. Banks, Weitzel, Grover, Granger
| Emory, staff officers, Colonels, and officers
of the several regiments visited the camp OF
the forlorn hope July and took messages
for the dear ones at home and bid their old
comrades a final farewell. For who was
there among them that expected to see a
member of that little band alive after the
assault?
The command was drawn up into line and
Gen. Banks addressed them, ending with
the suggestion that after they were dis
missed they should 60 to their tents and write
to their loved ones at home.
This was done and the Chaplain took the
mail, and with orders to turn out at the
sound of the muflled long-roll, the men of
the forlorn hope went to their tents to try
TO rest.
1t was the intention to charge the enemy
at daybreak on the 4th and to eat breakfast
inside the enemy's works. So when the
long-roll sounded at $50 in the morning,
each man, with courage undaunted and
a look of determination, silently took his
place in line, fully expecting to break into
that stronghold or die in the attempt.
Soon Gen. Banks and staff appeared in
the front, and the smile upon his face was
seen. He sat soldierly and proudly upon his
horse, with hat in hand, riding along the line.
He halted and saluted the troops. He then
read a dispatch from Gen. Grant, stating
that Vicksburg was about to surrender, and
that he would send him reinforcements.
Consequently the contemplated attack at
this time was delayed, and when the Con-
federate Gen. Gardner, commanding the
