Joseph Clapp Willard. formerly joint proprie.
tor with his brother. Henry, of the historic
Wizards Hotel. died last Sunday morning at
his residence in Washington, D. c.
Mr.. Willard was born Nov. IL. 1920, at West
minister, VT, the son of Joseph Willard and
Susan Clapp. He went to Troy, N. Y. where
he became connected with the Troy House as
clerk. Later he was, employed by the New
York and Troy Steamboat Line in the same
city, and after some years secured position at
the Astor House, New York City. About 1850
he decided to 20 to California to enter the
steamboat business. His brothers, Edwin d.
and Henry A. Willsrd; had come to Washing
ton and opened Willsrd,E Hotel, in 1647. It
was then known rs theI City Hotel. Edwin
Willard retired from the business in 1850, and
when Joseph Willard reached Washington, in
Henry Willard in the hotel enterprise. The
two brothers purchased the property, and con-
tinued to personally manage it until 1861
At the hotel distinguished men of the nation
gathered in council or atithe social board. In
its parlors might be secnnasny beautiful women
of that day. Citizens left it's hospitable doors
to become Presidents, aud Presidents sought
the shelter of its roof to give place to their
cessor 1t was the scenesi0f the sittings of the
peace Congress, and its halls were next filed
with soldiery intent on war.
The Willards retired from the hotel business,
and ]. c. Willard devoted himself to real estate
investments, becomingfJ very wealthy. He
served with great distfti tion during tho civil
war on the staff of Majs6en. Mcdowell. with
ranks of Major and Assistant Adju tant-Gene ral.
Near the close of the war; having declined fur.
ther promotion which was offered him, he ten.
dered his resignation, and, it being accepted,
he was honorably discharged from the service
in special orders from the War Department,
dated March l, 1864.

THE CHARGE AT HELENA.
A Missouri Soldier Tells of This Exciting
Episode.

Episode.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Serg't Du
Pay, in the issue of Nov. &C. and again on
Dec. "a, claims that it was the 2Sth Wis.
and LIST Ind. battery that saved the day at
Helena. This is the truth, literally. They
were noble commands, and are entitled to
full credit.
It 10 also true that the same claim may be
set up by the 36th Iowa, 33d Iowa, 33d Mo-,
the gunboat Tyler and the guns from Fort
Curtis. Had there been failure in the
fighting qualities of any of the commands
the day would have been lost. Every officer
and enlisted man, and all combined, success
fully repulsed the rebel charge.
The 33d Mo. had charge of the two-gun
batteries, and were supported by details
from the other commands. There was spy
in the pay of both armies He gave the
rebels plat of the Union Notifications, and
left Fort Curtis out
The rebels charged the center, Battery G,
and rushed down the hill past the colored
church. They were in range of Fort Curtis
and q portion of the other batteries, that
poured in on them q shower of shot and
shell. The dead were piled one on another
three deep, and the blood ran down the hill
in streams
The rebels shot the spy that gave them
the plat leaving out Fort Curtis. Gen.
Prentiss was in command of the forces, and
is now living in Bethany, Mo. The Con-
federate soldiers were brave fellows, and
made the charge over heavy abatis. The
haversacks of the killed were found scantily
filled with bread mixed mp with water and
baked in the Goals or fried in lard. Their
canteens were partly filled with water,
