propriety entertained by the soldiers and
attaches of the army, and the utmost re-
straint possible upon the part OF the cooler
headed officers could not avoid occasional
collisions.
OF one OF these was n witness. While
passing through the public square on the
afternoon of the day follOwing the Incl
dents noted, my attention was attracted
by the loud and bOaStful talk of trio of
| the SclOns of Southern aTiStocracy who
were standing in front of the City Hotel.
Just at the moment a patrol squad in
charge of Sergeant came by, and one OF
| the young men referred to gave voice to n
most brutal remark, which he evidently
intended the Sergeant should hear.
He did hear it, and bringing his gun
down, without a word beyond a maledic-
tion upon the offender and his tribe with a
wicked lunge he drove the bayonet to the
hilt In the fellows breast. With a gasp
and culver the wounded man fell to tho
sidewalk corpse, while the Sergeant
| turned to his squad as quietly as il on
parade and gave the order to march on.
never heard that there was anything done
about the affair
Like everything else in this world, the
affair at Nashville had its comical feature
AS above noted. the indifference of tho
greater part OF the citizens aroused the re-
sentiment of the soldiers, and this feeling
found expression IN a very effective man
ner. On the Sunday morning following the
city was found to be decorated with small
handbllls, perhaps 4x6 inches, containing
the following:
"ATTENTIONl-All who are not for us
are against us, and all who do not display
proper evidences of mourning before o
o'clock on Monday morning must suffer the
consequences.-Soldie
The effect of this was electrical, and also
somewhat cOmical. Before the hour named
on Monday morning there could not be
purchased in the entire city of Nashville,
for love nor money, half yard OF black
goods OF any variety, from satin to calico.
And such a spontaneous and universal
decoration OF persons, doors, windows,
fences and even shade trees was perhaps
never before or since seen in Nashville OF
elsewhere. The entire town looked like
gigantic funeral procession.
OF course, such a demonstration as this
on the part of he soldiers was not in ac-
cord with discipline, and vigorous effort
was made to ferret out the guilty parties.
1t was finally fixed-upOn couple of clerks
IN the Quartermaster's Dep rtment, but
never learned that they were severely
punished; perhaps nothing more serious
than being ordered to join their regiments.

Charge at yieks burg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue

corning the charge of May %, 1868, at Vicks-
burg.
Twas much interested in his narrative, but
there was one thing think he forgot to state.
He says: The storming party was made up
by volunteers from the 30th, 37th, and 10th
Ohio 10th H., and, L think, 4th Va The
30th Ohio followed the storming party, the
37th Ohio was next" Later on he says:
Go. Z, 30th Ohio, was the color company"
This, | believe, is also correct, but he does
not state what became of Co. C, the regular
color company.
The reason that Co. E was the color COM
pany during this charge was that Co. C had
been taken from their usual position and
placed at head of column In rear of storming
party.
Co. was led by. Lieut.. Emerson Brooks,
who was severely wounded in the charge, bat
afterward recovered and became Colonel Of
the 30th Ohio. Our company went into the
charge, to the best 81 my recollection, with
80 men and returned with 10, with a Cor
poral in command, having lost in killed and
wounded half our number, including our

against those feet horsemcn, whose onset
and retreat were too rapid for the heavy
armed French culraSSeuTS to return or
pursue? Besides, the taking of pyramids
and deserts was not tho kind of victory
that suited his nature.
But at Abouizir, where he was appointed
by Napoleon to force the center of the
Turkish lines, he showed what wild work
he could make with his cavalry. He rode
straight through the Turkish ranks, and
drove column after column into the sea .

into the camp of Mustapha Pacha, and
rode straight up to the Turkish chieftain

What War Means,
[Leslie's Wcekiy.1

What has actually been lost to the
wealth Of the world in the blood and ashes
of war since authentic history began is be
yond all estimate. 1t has been computed
that the loss of human life alone in that
time from war amounts to fourteen thou
sand million souls-a number equivalent
to the entire population of the globe for the
last $50 years. 1t should be noted here
that the class of men who are drafted or
accepted for military service are inyariab bly,
the very class who, by reason of age,
health, and strength, are the most valuable
to the world, from the purely economic and
material standpoint. They are the stalwart.
$4,000 upon the average man considered as
wealth producer. Taking this average
as the general standard of the value of a
man, it can be seen what an inconceivable
amount of wealth in the shape of men has
been destroyed on the battlefields of the
world since time began.

WHEN LINCOLN DIED.
BY j. A. EDGERToN, LINCOLN, NEB,


When Lincoln died universal grief
Went round the earth. Men loved him In
that hour.
The North her leader lost; the South, her
FRIEND
The Nation lost its savior; and the slave
Lost his deliverer, the most of all.
0, there was sorrow mid the humble poor,
When Lincoln died.
When Lincoln died, a great soul passed
from earth.
In him were strength and gentleness so
mixed
That each upheld the other. He was firm
And yet was kind; as tender as a child,
And yet as iron willed as Hercules
And he was iovial, laughter-loving, still
His heart was ever torn with suffering.
There was divine compassion in the man:
God like Sove and pity for his race
The world saw the full measure OF that
love,
When Lincoln died.
When Lincoln died, type was lost to men.
The earth has had her conquerors and
Kings
And many Of the common great. Through
all,
She only had one Lincoln. There arc
none
Like him in all the annals of the past.
He was growth of our new world. child
OF our new time; he was American;
Was OF the people, from the lowest rank;
And yet with ease he scaled the highest
hight.
Mankind one of its few immortals lost,
When Lincoln died.
When Lincoln died, it seemed a providence,
For he appeared as one sent for work
Whom, when that work was done, God
summoned home.
He led a splendid fight for liberty;
And when the shackles fell, the land was
saved,
He laid his armor by and sought his rest.
A glory sent from heaven covered him,
When Lincoln died.
