Ex-GOv. Pingree Patriotic.

tional troops. In 1861 the first company
for the Sd Vermont regiment was raised in

Vermont Boys Complimented.
The Chattanooga Daily Times of Wed
nesday speaking of 1st Vermont regiment
said:
Col. Clark of this regiment, in addition
to being an experienced military man, en-
joys the distinction OF being first cousin
of Admiral Dewey. The men of Ithis regi-
ment are all fine, stout fellows, resembling
in manv respects our own hardy mountain
GERS. 1t appears that after leaving Wash
ington on their trip south they received one
continuous ovation clear to Chattanooga,
which SO impressed the officers and me n
that they all decided to be on their very
best behavior in country where they
were SO royalty received. And it goes
without saying that this regiment is the
most gentlemanly body of volunteers that
has arrived in this city since May Is.

THE SILENT MARCH.

Not with the clash of the sabers. NOT with tb.
roll of the drums
Or the cheers that greet the hero when home
from the battle he comes
Not to the sound of the bugle mellow and
clear and sweet,
Do they pass on the homeward march. with
never returning feet,
But into the dim, deep stiffness. vbere rav.r.
more strife may come,
With never football sounding, the soldiers are
marching home.
Side by side che line unbroken. IA ,tuas IN
the years ago,
When they went with flying banners to meet
the ranks Of the foe.
These were the youthful heroes who fought
for the nation then,
These who march to silent music, SCARED and
gray, like ghosts of men,
For them no bayonets flashing in the tide of
the MONDAY sun,
For them the echoless silence, long since were
their battles won.
Now are the batteries silent that breathed
their murderous breath,
That laid like grain of the harvest the long.
dark swath Of death.
Gone Is the smoke Of battle that hung DER the
far drawn line
Till the sky was hid at MONDAY and the sun
forgot to shine
trodden plain
No whisper comes to grass or flower of all it's
crimson stain.
There were tears and hours Of longing for
those who come no more,
For the voices hushed to silence and the foot
step on the floor.
In those far days of battle, those days of bit
terest strife,
When man for his country's glory set no
price upon his life,
But guarded that nations honor down to his
latest breath.
The soldier brave who knew no fear, who par.
leyed not with death.
And ever since the wartime, when love and
home were sweet,
Have the soldiers Joined the silent march,
with never returning feet.
Out from the door Of the cottage, from palace
of wealth, they came,
And the path led on In silence, the way was
ever the same,
And still the silent army is marching away
away,
And the last recruit will Join the ranks and
be mustered IN some day.

SAVED HIS MONEY.

How Shrewd Prisoner In Libby Foole
the Confederate Guards.
"The rebels used to rob the prisoners
OF war Of all their valuables," said one
OF the veterans at the Buffalo reunion.
II think it is probable that / am the
only prisoner who was confined in Lib
by prison who succeeded in saving any
considerable amount of money from
their clutches.
"The morning Of my arrival at Libby
the officers Of the prison came into the
room where and half hundred otherl
were and began to search US. had
heard good deal about the ropes at
Libby from some prisoners who had
been exchanged from there, and felt
sure that as soon as they had searched
us they would send US up into the room
directly above us. looked up and saw
that there was good sized hole in the
floor Of the upper room, and an idea for
saving my money, Of which I had a
considerable sum, at once struck me.
standing near me was a comrade
with whom l was very intimate. He
did not have cent, SO I suggested to
him that he go forward among the first
to be searched, and if he was sent to
the upper room he should lower a long
string down through the hole, to which
could tie my valuables 30 that he
could haul them up.
"The plan worked like charm. The
room we were in was dark, and few
moments after my oomrade had been
searched l saw string come down
through the hole. I tied my money, sew
eral hundred dollars, and my watch MP
in my handkerchief and tied them to
the string, which assembled, taking its
burden in safety. Then was searched,
rejoined my comrade and got my valua-
blas back '@Ruffalo Exnrass
