Silver Dollars.

Stripes-nailed to the masthead, and may
Gen. Dix's command ever be in force-t0
shoot the miscreant that dares to insult that
hap-on land or sea the world over.
Mr.. Editor, will you please answer in The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE the following question,
for the satisfaction Of several old vets and
voters for Mckinley and Sound Money and
good Government and honest count of bal
lots as cast by honest citizens of the United
States of America: If anyone having 100 sill
YER dollars of 1895, or of any other date, ex-
cepting the trade dollar, coined at either Of
the Government minis, if presented at the
United States Treasury Department, at
Washington, d. c., can he get gold, OF
preenbacks payable in gold, for the silver
dollars ?-THOMAs D. LEWIS, Knoxville
Team.
TStrictly speaking, no. The silver dollars
are not legally redeemable in anything, being
themselves money of ultimate redemp-
tion.n Therefore, the officers of the Treas
urv will not redeem" his silver dollars in
anything else.
But, as the Governments faith is pledged
to keeping all its dollars on parity, he car
exchange his silver dollars, at bank Oh
elsewhere, for greenbacks or Treasury notes
of 1890. which the Treasury officers will re-
deem in gold.-EDIToR NATIONAL TRIB

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: read with
much interest Comrade A. III. Houlette's ac-
count of a bloodless victory at Cnmber-
land Gap, KY. was party to a like victory
at the same place little over year previous,
though our capture was an empty fortress,
under the same brigade commander, Col.
John F. DeCourcey, who commanded one of
the brigades under Gen. G. w. Morgan.
DeCourcey was the Colonel of my regi-
ment, 10th Ohio. His history in the war of
the rebellion is rather unique, as understood
by humble private in his regiment, which
was organized at Wooster, O., portion of
whom had been in the 10th Ohio in the three
months service.
On the organization of the regiment for
the three years service the man who was
stated for Colonel was very objectionable to
some OF the officers. A delegation Of these
was sent TO see the Governor, who promised
to do the best for them he could. Being in
New York within few days he met De-
Courcey, who had just resigned his COM
mission as Major III the English army. He
offered his services then and there to the
Governor of Ohio, who accepted them, and
commissioned him Colonel of the 10th Ohio

Sherfdan,s Ride.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / wish to
ask You question, and hope, if you can, you
will answer it by mail. 1t is as follows:
Where did Gen. p. II. Sheridan start from
and where did his ride end? How far did
he ride, and what was the time the ride was
made in? / have heard several persons
give their views on the subject. yet none
seem to know much about it. So thought
l would write to you about it, believing you
would know as well as anyone / can think
Of The ride was made Oct. -, 1864, near
Winchester. Va.-ENocH COTTON, Adams
Centre, n. Y.
[Sheridan's own account says: We
mounted our horses between half-past 8
and $, and as we were proceeding up the
street which leads directly through VIM
chester from the Logan residence" where
he had spent the night. He rode forward
"at. a regular pace" stopping from time to
time to learn the news and give orders,
until he came to Mill Creek, when he
learned the full dimensions of the disaster
from Col. Wood, his Chief Commissary. He
then took two Of his Aids, Maj. Forsyth and
Capt. o. eefe and started forward on gallop.
He says that he arrived not later, certainly,
than half-past 10 o'clock" The distance
was III miles. EDITOR NATIONAL TRIB.

Claims to be Benefacfor TO Weakene0

There Is always more less suspicion st.
tached to ything that is offered Free but some
times q man so overfows with generosity that
he cannot rest until his discovery is known to
the world, in order that his fellow men may
profit by what he has discovered. 1t is upon
this principal that a resident of kalamazoo,
Mich, desires TO send free to mankind q pre-
scription which will cure them of any form OK
nervous debility; relieves them of all the doubt
and uncertainty which such men are peculiarly
liable to, and restores the organs to natural size
and vigor. Asst costs nothing TO try the exper-
ment it would seem that any man. suffering
with the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what might
be the final result, ought TO be deeply interested
in q remedy which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which they con-
tinue to live an existence of untold misery. A
the remedy in question was the result Of many
years research as to what animation would be
peculiarly effective in restoring to men the
strength they need, it would seem that all mon
suffering with any form of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at once. A ~.

The prescription is sent free, and although
some may wonder how Mr.. Olds can afford to give
away his discovery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Early in
the Spring of 1864 the United States gum
boat Forest Rose was steaming down the
Ohio River on her way from Paducah to
Cairo, Ill. 1t had just struck three bells in
the morning watch when the Quartermaster
on duty sighted an object moving across the
river from the Kentucky to the Illinois
and the Captain, by the aid Of their glasses,
soon made it ont to be big deer
Hastily calling away boat, Capt Wright,
Ensign Ericsson and Masters Mate Altering
jumped in. They were each armed with
one of the Spencer rifles, which had just
come into use. The boats crew consisted of
four oarsmen and coxswain, the writer
pulling the bow oar.
By the time we were well under way the
deer was about a hundred yards ahead of us,
and seemed to know ieIwas swimming for
his life. We bent to our oars as if ours
were at stake. The officers all commenced
shooting as fast aaspessible, as from the
peculiar motion of. tbs, boat it was almost
impossible to take aim. so each hoped for a
chance shot to take effect. As the officers
were in the stern sheets the extra weight
aft caused the bow TO rise in the water,
thereby throwing niy'head almost in line
with their shots. The way the bullets sung
within few inches of'my head was not at
all pleasant. snss
We were rapidly gaining on the deer, but
as it was getting Close to shore it was evil
dent that it would escape unless we could
shoot it. The deer Bad already struck bot

liberty, when shot from the Captains

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Among the
MANY pleasant "reminiscences OF the ciVii
war was one at our late State Encampmept
that added new laurels to the record the
bows in blue have made. and showed the
feeling that sometimes cropped ont among
the American soldiers, regardless oil the ceior
of their uniform, at the time OF our great
struggle. ,os
Judge Charles L Evans, I'd Tex. lConfed-
erate). was invited to make us an ADDRESS,
and in the course of his remarks he related
the following incident of the siege OF slcKs-
burg:
"In the general assault of the Union army
on the Confederate works at Vickeburg, May
%. 1863, the assaulting column on that part
of the works occupied by the I'd Tex: was
composed of the 9Th and 18th Ind, LIST U. 3.
REGULARS. and the 33d and 99th III. In the
order named.
AFTER most terrific cannonading OF TWO
hours. during which the very earth rocked
and pulsated as thing of life, the head OF
the column appeared above the brow OF the
hill about 100 yards in front of the breast
works. and as line after line of blue came IN
sight over the hill. it presented the grandest
spectacle the eye of a soldier ever beheid.
The Texans were prepared to meet 1t with
five smoothbore muskets each, charged Win
buck and ball. which had been distributed
along the trenches the night before, In adoi-
ton to their trusty Springfield rifles.

"When the first line was within 40 steps
of the works, the order to fire ran along the
trenches and was responded to as of one gun,
and as fast as practiced hands could gather
them ND, one after another, the muskets
were brought to bear. The blue lines van
ished amid fearful slaughter; there was a
cessation in the firing, and through the pail
Of smoke which enshrouded the field could
be discerned Union flag approaching.
"As the smoke was slightly lifted by the
gentle breeze of May, solitary man was
seen advancing, bearing the flag bravely to-
wards the breastworks At least hundred
men took deliberate aim at him and fired at
point-bank range, but he never faltered ;
stumbling over the bodies of his fallen COM
rades he continued to advance. Suddenly,
as if with one impulse, every Confederate
soldier within sightof the Union coior-bearer
seemed to be seized with the idea that the
man ought not to be shot down like dog
A hundred men dropped their guns at the
same time, each of them seized his nearest
neighbor by the arm and yelled TO him:
"tDon't shoot at that man again he IL
too brave a man to be killed that way.
when he instantly d scovered that his neigh.
Dor was yelling the same thing at him. Az
soon as they all understood each other, q
hundred old hats and caps went up into the
air, their wearers yelling at the top Of theiI
voices:
"'Come on, you brave Yank, come on!
He did come, and was taken by the hand
and pulled over the breastworks, and wber
it was discovered that he was not ever
scratched, q hundred Texans wrung hi,
hand and congratulated him upon his mi
raculous escape from death. That mani
name was Thomas j. Higgins, Color-beare
of the 99th ILL.,"
To Judge Evans's surprise and gratifica
tion he soon afterward received letter from

speech delivered at Dallas, and in the mos
grateful language expressed himself for tn

WHO FOUGHT AT HELENA
An Iowa Man Tells of Others Besides "a
Regiment of Men,"


Regiment of Men,"
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of Nov. 26, an article appeared entitled
g Regiment of Men," The writer says
the LIST Ind Cav. and 25th Wis. saved the
day at Helena, Ark, July 4, 1863. The
writer seems to think the commands named
above did all the fighting.
Other regiments were there-36th Iowa,
looking after the right of line; Batteries A
and B; the gunboat Tyler, in front Of He
lena.
When the rebels took Battery G, they ran
down into q ravine behind an old negro
church, where the guns from Fort Curtis
and the gunboat had little chance at them.
But brass piece at Battery A, having good
range, turned on them, and the second shot
fell in their midst, which sent them from
their hiding-place in quick time. Then
Fort Curtis and gunboat Tyler did good
work. Those who made that charge were
nearly all killed or wounded. From Battery
A, where / was, we could see the whole
thing.
The comrade also gives the credit of COM
mand to Gen. Solomon. Gen. Prentiss was
in command. An order picked up On the

greet each other as Captain or Major, and TO
the uninitiated one would suppose that every

was either Captain or a Major. Major
had evidently belonged at some time 10 some
of the first families OF Virginia, as after the

scented the Johnny side of the army, and
from his description and name he had been
with the rebel army in the battles of the
Wilderness.
He came to the old 4.h n. j. battery soon
after the battle at Cold Harbor, and the boys
nearly exhausted the vocabulary of dog
names until they thought of the name OF
Major, when he answered to the name in
great glee. The keynote had been struck,
and Major at once became very friendly TO

kindly to him and divided up their sodas
