To the F,iitor of the REGISTER
Sir:-Wif} you ple3se publish the
following. letter in the next izs2e CT
your paper:
1t has been rpported thgt he men C
the First West Virginia war II re-
main in the service for garrison dlty,
This is positive falsehe3d. There are
not twenty men in the regiment outside
the officers who are wiling 10 pu. il
two years Of their lives II Ilii airy
service in times Of peace. On the frs.
call we volunteered our serves to Gu"
ccrltry, gladly cfferi1g cur lives A.
defense of the Etars and Sripes. We
drilled faithfully trying to prepare
ourselves for active service, working
six to eight hours a day.
After weeks ard morehs of this We
realized that all our work had been
of no avail, for we could see no active
service.
Besides leaving our loved ones many
of us quit good position to answer
cur cor-try's cali. Now that peace
has been declared, we who have been
denied any part Of the honor, feeling
that our country 70 longer needs our
services, desire to return to cur differ
ext avocations, leaving regular army
service to those who want it and are
better suited to such a life.
Feeling thus We started to circulate
a petition asking for our release, but
one Of the officers seeing it and find
ng that over So per cent Of the men
in the regiment would sign it, we were
compelled to hand it over and 1t was
promptly destroyed. But 10 one car
blame these officers for they probably
have better positions than they ever
had before in their lives; but must
LEO or 1900 men lose two years OF
their lives to satisfy the ambition of
twenty-five or thirty officers?
Is this the proper way to treat men
or it is an honorable way to treat men
who so nCbly responded to their c3un-
try's call in tine of war? | have net
said anything about the hard work,
hard beds and scant fare that are cur
lot, for we gladly suffered these hard
ships in the cause of suffering hI-
mainly and to protect cur loved ones
from the bullets Of our enemies. Since
we have rescued the suffering Cubals
and protected our loved country, who
will rescue us from dogs life7

To the Editor of the Register
Sir:-ln order to express my own
opinion. as also the opinion of more
than sc per cent of our regiment,
about US doing garrison duty, 7 viii
say | do not know Of but one or two
privates in this regiment but who
want to be mustered out of the serv-
ice as Ulited States volunteers as
soon as possible
We enlisted to fight to uphold our
government in cause which is just
and which surely hes had divine APP
proTal throughout. We nearly all left
lucrative positions and home ties to
come where We We're hidden and where
duty calls. We were wiling to stay
for two years if the fighting kept up
that long; but now that peace is al
most certain to be declared and an
armistice is declared and our govern
merit talks about mastering out OF ser
vice large number Of her soldiers.

turn home as soon as opportunity per-
nits. We are willing TO so, if the
government says go; but leave it to
the pTivates. who are here On Sl5 60
per month and who must s.eep five
and six in an. eight-fo3t- square tent
and live on the c1arsest of toad, there
would Tot G1e che who would not say
that he wants to be mustered cut OF
service Immediately. If We were Off
GERS, with salaries ranging from sta
per month Inward and having such
privileges as they do, then We might
want TO stay and do garrison duty
If the influential men want to hear
the voice of the regiment they should
seek down among the ranks and here
they could find the true sentims ats.
We want to be mustered cut of service
as soon as possible, and that will not
be too soon or soon enough for ,ny
of us.
We expect to leave here some time
this week and SO 10 K.oxville, Tenn,
to camp there. A detail has been sent
ahead to fix up the camping grcund.
Hoping that this will convey the
sentiment Of the majority of our reg.-
mort to our government, we remain
her true sons and at her service.

Buffalo News.
A Clergyman who for many years was
the beloved pastor of one OF the largest
Presbyterian churches in Buffalo, recently
came back to town TO renew old acQuaint-
ances and preach a sermon to his old
parishioners. OF course, he was enter
tanned by such of his friends as could get
hold of him, and after quiet little dinner
al pleasant home the other evening he
sat for a while on the porch and as min
listers among old friends often do, told
story or two, and the one which l will
attempt to relate as he told it concerns
one of his sons, who has been pastor of
a church in Pittsfed, Mass, for not very
many months, and who has many dear
friends himself in Buffalo.
When R went to Pittsfeld," said
the father, The told me that he was going
to try to build up his church, the members
of which were largely working people, by
attending assiduously to his pastoral du-
ties aside from mis- regular work in the
church. He even went so far Is to an
nounce from the pulpit that a certain day
in the week would find him at such and
such a neighborhood. and that the people
in that section of the town might expect
ID pastoral call from him.
This sort of thing was decided inno-
walton and created more or less excite
ment of a mild kind among the parishion-
ers. In the locality he designated for his
calls on a certain day dwelt a young Mrs.
Smith, who had a daughter of the kinder
garten age. Mrs. Smith put on her Sun
day gown in anticipation of the visit, and
after arraying her daughter in her best
frock thought that little coaching as to
the child's behavior would not be amiss.
Now, when the pastor comes, she
said, he will probably say, We'll, little
girl, what is your name?" what would
you answer
Susan Smith
~ thought So said the mother. You
must say Sir" every time. Now, if he
will you say?'
Yes. sir
And if ne wants to know if you at
tend Sunday School?'
Yes, sir
land if you forget to say your pray
ers every night?
mo, sir
And perhaps he may ask you if you
know what happens to bad little girls
when they die
ITO this suggestion the child gave a
strictly orthodox answer, and the next
moment R appeared on the scene. He
at first did not see the child, but stood
talking TO the mother, and in the mean
time Susie had learned her lesson well,
and had begun TO f1dget around TO attrac:
the attention she thought was deserved.
She was fairly bursting to be heard, when
R turned and caught sight of her.
We'll, he said, cheerfully, here's a
little lady 1 haven't met yet and going
10 her he proved her mothers foresight
by adding: And what's your name?'
"'Susie Smith, Sir; yes, Sir: yes, Sir; no,
Sir: go to HI. Sir, said the well-coached
child in a breath"
