Write Your address Plainly.

G. w. Graham writes us, wanting some
information, but he gives his address merely
"Homewood." without any State. We men
ton this to again call attention of the COM
rades to the necessity of carefully writing
out their full address. We receive hundreds
of letters week in which the writer's are SO
careless as to their addresses as to give us
great trouble, and many Of these letters have
to 20 to the waste-basket unanswered be-
cause their address cannot be made out.
For instance, in this case there are six
H0mewO0ds in the United Statcs--one each
in Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Pennsylva-
MIA, Virginia, and Wisconsin. 1t is natural
for correspondent to slight the writing
of his postoflce. 1t is 80 familiar to him
that he naturally thinks it is equally so to
everyone else. But here in The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE office we have to deal
constantly with the whole of the $4,000 post
Offices in the United States, and little
careessness on the part of correspondents
makes great deal OF trouble for us.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The siege

and brevity, lasting only about five min

IL was after the siege was we'll under way,
and nearly all the enemy's field artillery
had been SO roughly handled by our batter

heard one of their guns We were some-

just north of the Vicksburg & Jackson
Railroad, and was supported by the 9Th Ind.

each dismounted rebel gun up to date

Wants to Find Her Friends.

Mrs. E. II. TOusey, Baxter Springs Kan,
writes: :" I want to hear from any cOmrade
who was plotted across the Little Tonnes
see River where it empties into the HOlston,
between London aud Knoxville, Tenn"
This lady, a widow with two little children,
the men will doubtless remember, for the
army camped the night before she piloted
them across the dangerous ford. The Off
GERS had their Headquarters in her house, it
being large double house built with hewn
logs. This army was OH its way to REIN
force the Union troops besieging Knoxville
and had been misled by rebel woman, and
induced to try to ford the Big Tennessee
far below, where the water was deep enough
for steamboats, to run. The writer was 90
years old, and rode cavalry horse just
ahead of the troops across the winding ford,
which was artificial. The officer in COM
mand sent an ambulance to take her and
the children the next morning early to Lou
don, Tenn, and put them aboard steam
boat. The officer gave her paper when
she went to start, and told her to keep that
paper, and when the war was over it would
support her as long as she lived, but she
lost the paper.
