CANNON At RESACA.
Lying Under Fire Before the Pieces Were
Taken.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have read
with great interest the campaign about that
cannon charge at Resaca, Ga, and as l be-
longed to one of the companies detailed to go
after those cannon, | must add my testimony
to the statement of Comrade Greenman.
| remember well how, in the afternoon, the
Third Brigade of the Third Division,
Twentieth Corps, formed for the assault. My
regiment the Goth Conn, was in the seventh
or eighth line with orders as | understood.
to advance and pass through or over the
different lines in front, as they delivered their
fire and lay down.
We were soon near the front. where we re-
maEed until ordered across the road to new
position where we remained until in the
evening about nine O'Clock, when Co. B, Goth
Conn, with Others, went to the front directly
under the cannon that had caused so much
trouble during the day. We lay down as
close to the ground as possible. There com
menced one of the hottest musket-hrlng on
the part of the Tebs | ever was in. 1t would
have been instant death for any man to have
stood. The ground was covered with the
dead There were many wounded, who could
not he removed. 1t was heartrendng to have
to lie there and not be able to help them.
All this tim some OF the detail were busy
digging under the cannon, and about 10 or
1880 o'clock there was yell from some of
the 18th Mich. Away they went with the
guns down the hill, but | cannot say the
crowd were all of the 18th Mich. l think
they were all of the Third Brigade, however.
Our work was then finished. and We waited
until all was quiet, then went back to our
line. l know no cannon were captured be-
fore this time, although hundreds of brave
fellows lay within few feet of the guns,
dead. In my three years service | think
that the one or two hours lying under that
hot rebel fire was the most trying | ever ex-
perienced.
In the morning the rebels were gone. We,
buried our dead and pushed on after them.

AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION

citement caused by the confusion. At that
time we had paper cartridges, which must be
torn OF at one end before putting in the gun.
He having never been under fire, and having
never been drilled well as to which end OF the
cartridge must he torn off, under his intense
fear OF not getting his first shot at the enemy
and of also disobeying orders to fall in and
load quickly, he got mixed as to which end of
the cartridge must go down first
He asked all who CHANGED to pass his way
before he fell i'll line for information as to
which was the proper end to he put i'm the
gun first, but everybody was very busy obey
ing orders.
At last he saw an officer coming towards
him TO find the cause of his not obeying Or
ders. The private appealed to the officer.
saying, with q kind of a struggling in his
throat:
Say, there, Captain, come here, quick!
Say, which end OF this darned cartridge do
you put in the gun tirst?" And, rs the Off
Ger was very angry at him for being SO slow
in obeying orders, and anxious at the enemy's
being so close he told the poor soldier to put
both ends in if he wanted to, as he had some
thing loitler to think Of
But as We did not move on the rebs. nor
they Oh us, but remained at the same dug
outs until next morning and found out that
Spanish Fort had been evacuated during that
uight, never learned whether the untortun-
ate placed in both ends of the cartridge or
any at all, but if l did we never saw him
pull any out.
The country around there is very broken,
and Spanish Fort was situated on promi-
nent hill, and was not far from the bay. The
rei,s had rows of torpedoes planted Just out
side, but in order to protect their own men
they placed q small stick with white rag
ON it TO warn them where to step.

KIDNEY AaD BLADDER TROUBLES QUICKLY CURED.

Dr. Kimer's Swamp Root, Sent Free by Mail.

Men and women doctor their troubles so
often without benefit, that they get dis
couraged and skeptical. In most such
cases serious mistakes are made in doctor
ing and in not knowing what our trouble is
or what makes us sick The unmistakable
evidences of kidney trouble are pain or dull
ache in the back, too frequent desire to
pass water, scanty supply, smarting irrita-
ton. AS kidney disease advances the face
looks sallow or pale, puffs or dark circles
under the eyes, the feet swell, and some
times the heart acts badly. Should further
evidence be needed to find out the cause
of sickness. then set urine aside for twenty
four hours; if there is sediment or settling
it is also convincing proof that our kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. A fact often
overlooked, is that women suffer as much
from kidney and bladder trouble as men do.

cessive Use.

cesslvc Use.
Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but it was never in
tended for medicine. and people who use it
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to re-
lieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover, the soda only gives temporary re-
lief, and in the end the stomach troubles get
worse and worse.
The da acts as mechanical irritant to
the walls of the stomach and bowels, and
cases are ON record VIII re it accumulated in
the intestines, causing death by inlamma-
ton OF peritonitis.
Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. These tablets are large 2U-grain
lozenges, very pleasant to taste, and contain
the natural acids, peptoneS and digestive
elements essential to good digestion, and when
taken after meals they digest the TODD perfectly
and promptly before it has time to ferment,
sour and poison the blood and nervous system.
Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of
stomach arrangements, and finds them a GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
promptly digesting the food, they create .
healthy appetite, increase flesh, and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They are
not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness, and will be found re-
liable in any stomach trouble, except cancer of
the stomach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets At 90 cents per package

EARLY COLONIZING.

In l849, he removed with his family
to North Elba, Essex County, New York,
to some land given him by Gerrit Smith.
He went thither expressly to counsel and
benefit the negroes settled in that vicinity,
on lands likewise bestowed upon them
by our noblest philanthropist.
The location was hard one, high up
among the glens Of the Adirondack
Mountains. rugged, cold, and bleak.
The negroes generally became discour-
aged, in view Of the inces,ant toll, pri-
vation, and bardships, involved in hew-
ing a farm and a habtation out of the
primitive wilderness, in secluded, ster.
lie region, and gave over in despair after
brief trial; but John Brown and his
sons persevered, ultimately making
homes for themselves. which, though not
luxurious nor inviting, their families
retain.
In 1851 thu ther returned with his
family TO Akron, o., where he once more
carried on the wool business and man
aged the farm Of a friend but. in 1855,
on starting for Kansas, he moved his
family back to their own hom at North
Elba, where they remain, with his grave
in the midst of them.
EMIGRATION TO KANSAS.

=. II. JeNeit, manager OF the Norfolk
team IN the Atlantic league, in an in
terview, has the following to say OF
the National agreement:
When | hear those minor league
presidents and managers roast the
national agreement and size up the
major league magnates as SO many
confidence operators, | just giggle up
my sleeve. # some Of the managers
and club owners in the big league only
knew the jobs put up on them by GER
tain gold brick artists in the minor or
CARNATIONS they would hesitate sew
eral moons before drafting minor
league samples. | know OF an owner
OF certain minor league club who de-
liberately stands in with his official
scorer by boosting the fielding and
batting averages Of his players with
a view to gold-bricking them into the
big league. Ard | know a certain
minor league scorer who jollies along
the averages OF all those players who
viii pay MIN for giving their records a
boost in his scores.

many a gold brick. And yet you hear
these minor league con men making
bluff that the draft, the reservation,
and so forth are unjust and an out
rage One case of player with q
fake reputation came up last year.
The manager of this player rubbed
the gold-brick tinsel On this man By
the medium of fake batting average.
But he overlooked the fact that the
Official averages of his club had been
fled by the president of his league be-
fore he attempted TO work the gold
brick gag. This manager wrote to a
certain paper, booming his gold brick
In the same paper was published the
official figures giving the gold brick a
hating average of less than 800,
though the fake figures, as gwen by
the manager, gave the falsealarm
player a batting record Of .375.
The national agreement, as it
stands, including the draft and re-
serve list, is as neal perfection as it
can be brought, and when toy tell me
that the trainers of the agreement are
looking for an advantage over The
minor leagues they are ignorant of the
spirit and letter Of the agreement, or
they are prejudiced against their
superiors, against the men who have
made years OF study Of the game and
who try to work along the lines Of
reciprocity. But of twenty players
drafted or purchased from minor
leagues, it is doubtful if one out Of
that number on an average pans out
fast enough for the big league. These
twenty players will cost the league at
least $4,000. IN other words, one man
of the twenty sticks in the big league.
He costs his purchaser $1,000. or ST.
900 short of the price paid for Mike
Kelly and Jack Garrison.
