A Growing Feeling.

Editor National Tribune: My visit to the
National Encampment at Cincinnati has
led me to believe the interest taken was
greater, the crowds larger than any hither-
to held. While the cheering for them arch
ing column was less than at many previ-
Gus Encampments, yet 1T was from de =
sire on the part of the pc ople to see and
hear all of interest to be seen and heard
and not any want of interest, but only
more heartfelt patriotism.
| am led TO believe that this interest Will
increase as the GAR. grow fewer in
numbers and persons that may see the
last parade of, say. two or three surviving
veterans, afoot or hauled in carriages, will
witness an assembly of not n few hundred
thousand but several millions of loyal
people.
Ny opinion is that if The National
Tribune will ask not only the Spanish
War soldiers to be added, but the sons OF
veterans as well, to the GAR, keeping
it up earnestly and persistently, you will
increase your circulation a hundredfold,
because the feeling for the men who
saved and made us a Nation" is only in
its infancy. ID. Immell St. Louis, Mo.

CHAPTER VII.

Tie second day in the Confederate
service was much pleasanter than the
first. ] had only TO supply one brigade
with water, which did not require much
exertion, for the day was cool and the wen
was not far distant; consequently, had
an opportunity of lounging little among
the soldiers, and of hearing important
subjects discussed.
In that way l learned the number OF
reinforcements which had arrived from
different places, and also had the pleasure
of seeing Gen. Lee, who arrived Whlie
was there 1t was whispered among the
men that he had been telegraphed TO Tor
the purpose OF inspecting the Yankee
fortifications, as he was the best engineer
i'm the Confederacy, and that he had pro
nrunced il impossible TO hold Yorktown
after Mcclellan opened his siege-guns
Then, too, Gen. J. f. Johnston was
hourly expected with portion OF his com
mand. Including all, the rebels estl-
mated their force at 150, 600 at Yorktown
and in that vicinity
When Johnston arrived a council OF war
was held, and things began To look

UnioniStS moved forward in the direction
of the enemy's works, steadily, firmly,

mortal.
The surg con commenced to examine the
case; there was no blood to indicate
where the wound was, and the poor
sufferer was in such agony that he could
not tell where it was. SO the Surgeon
examined by piecemeal until he had gone
through with a thorough examination,
and there was not even scratch to be
seen.

Outline of Basis of Settlement Be-
tween Germany and China.
Washington, Jan. ia cable dis
patch has just been received at the Chi
nese legation from the Tsung Ii Yamen,
Picking, to the following effect: A set
Element of the difficulties with Germany
has been effected. Kiao-Chou bay is to
be leased, belt surrounding the bay
extending 100 Ii (about 30 miles) to be
the boundary. All the German troops
outside the prescribed limits are to be
withdrawn. Two of the culprits charged
with the murder of the missionaries are
to be punished with death. and the rest
with imprisonment. Permission will be
granted for the building of churches in
the cities of Tai Ming, Tsao Chow Flu
and Chou Yeh, and dwelling houses for
the missionaries in the districts of Tsao
Hen and Shan Hen will be erected,
for which purpose Il sum of 225, 900 taels
will be allowed. This amount is to be
taken also as a compensation for the
killing of the missionaries. The sane
ton of the throne has been obtained to
the above mode of settlement.

powers should object; but if the nego-

JAPAN READY FOR WAR.

Chinese Waters.

London, Jan. 22.-The ST. James Ga
zette, commenting upon the dispatch
from Yokohama saying that feet of
nine japanese warships will leave ia
pan in the course of week for Chinese
waters, says:
Japan is prepared for war. That, I'm
nutshell, is the news from Yokohama, and
it is really the first news from Japan
since the beginning Of the Chinese crisis.
1t is obvious that the Japanese govern
ment had stopped Geographic communi-
cation, which it never does except when
mobilizing the army or navy. That is pre-
cisely what it has been doing. 1t is al
most certain that the destination Of the
fleet is Wei-Hai-Wei, and there is no doubt
the movement means that the status quo
in China, so far as Manchuria and Corea
are concerned, shall not be altered by
Russia or any combination of Russia's
allies, in defiance of Great Britain and
Japan. So long as the defenders policy
is equality of opportunity in China they
are in position to enforce their claims"
