back over hardships endured for the Union,

understand it as we do who had them to

cism of the small pittance some of us get
in the way of pensions.
The next morning, on awaking. the first
thing we heard was the boom of cannon
and the rattle of musketry. Albert Sydney

BY p. E. JOHNSON.

While the Seth Ind. was camped near
Jeffersonville, Ind, in the Fall of 1861. moi
long after our enlistment, the 1st Wis. was
camped near by. One night soon after
we went there the 1st Wis. gave our regi-
ment social call. The Colonel of the seth
called the regiment into line. The 1st
Wis. formed in two ranks, and into COM
plete circle, facing the rightof the regiment,
each man sitting on the lap or thighs of the
man behind him. In few nights after
this our Major, I. W. Bennett, not to be
outdone, must return the call. He, too.
must have something novel, so the Major
took the regiment, formed it into two ranks,
about-faced each man in the front rank
facing the man behind him, or No. 2 With
guns at order arms each man placed his
right knee between the legs of the other
man, thus sitting on one another's legs.
We they gave three cheers and tiger for
the 1st Wis, President Lincoln, and the
success of the Union.
Soon after this, one night about the time
We had all gottenIweli to bed, the drums in
all the camps set up an unearthly din,
seeming to try to make as much noise as
possible at beating the long roll. The
officers and. nd.non-commissioned officers urged
The National tribune., 1899-11-30

and we advanced over hills and holloWs
and logs and brush for mile or so until
We came near the camps or tents where
Grants army had been 80 rudely awakened
the morning before. We struck the rebel
army in full force. We We're held III re-
piece of woods. We were just far enough
in the rear Of the troops that were in front
Of us to be in constant danger from shot
and shell thrown from a rebel battery that
was doing its best to keep back the ever
advancing Union army, composed on that
part of the field of Nelson's Fourth) Dl-
vision of Buell's army.
After We had been there for some time
we Were ordered to lie down again. just
as we were in the act of lying down shell
exploded in our company, killing one OF our
company. In short time We were ordered
forward again, and advanced 200 or 300
yards, and went into the battle, where we
were closely engaged and where we had
two killed and several wounded in our
company.
After we had fought there for a time we
We're f1anked by the rebels and had TO fall
back, which we did to some old buildings,
where We made another stand until our
ammunition gave out, and we had to retire
to where we could get more. Then we ad-
vanced near the place where we had made
the first stand. We We're ordered to NIX
bayonetS and to make a charge. Col
GroSe took his sword in his hand, and
swinging it over his head, told us TO follow
him. And we went on in a successful
rush.

pour of rain. How | wish from the very

new city of Melrose, Mass. Capt Burnham,
who now leads the life of gentleman, re-
tired from active business cares, is well

OF people as an original breeder and fancier

in Boston.
He served two years in the Union Army
during the Civil War, first as Brigade Com

N. P. Banks and later in Gen. W. S. Han

His opinion and recommendation of Dr.
kllmer's Swamp-Root, after a thorough
trial OF this now universally popular medi-
cine is therefore of great weight.
Capt. Burnham said: Il have been in poor
health since 1864, having contracted dis
ease in the service of the United States
which has been variously described by the
several doctors who have been in attendance
on me during the last 35 years, as kidney
trouble, blood poisoning, chronic dIar-
rhoea and malarial toxemia, for which up to
year ago, / tried all sorts of Warranted
Cures1 Each Ole of these acted only as
temporary alleviator, and none of them at

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | read
with much interest the history of the Cav
airy Division of the Army of the James |

arily attached to that organization, al
though we were known as an independent

Gen. kautz speaks of the unfavorable COM
ments of the Northern press and unjust
criticism of the cavalry for being driven
from an exposed position by vastly superior
numbers, and the credit given to the Tenth
Corps OF repulsing the, enemy after the
cavalry was routed and driven from the
johnson farm.
Reading those papers brings to nv mind
mental visions of the past, and l again see
the contending forces as / look across the
fields. The cavalry of Gen. Wilson's COM
mand waver and fall back in disorder.
They are going through the woods. Finally
the enemy bursts through the woods on the
right and rear of the Army of the James, to
be met with a whitening fire from 200 car
bines in the hands of as many cavalrymen
Of the LIST N: Y. Mt'd Rifles, they being
mostly recruits and transferred men from
the 18th n. Y. II. A, the regiment proper
being at home enjoying re-enlistment fur
loughs.
The conclusion now draw is that those
200 cavalry men were the first TO check the
advance OF the victorious enemy, holding
the key to the situation and using it to good
advantage TO block the enemy's farther
advance, and not retiring foot until re-
lieved from an advanced skirmish-line by
the 1th Conn.,, who Were armed with re-
peating rifles.
Therefore the credit of repulsing the
enemy belongs TO the cavalry, even if they
did sometimes come on in demoralized
condition, after fatiguing fighting and
marching.
To give further details of the command
composing the 10th N. Y. Mt'd Rifles, l
note that my diary of that date says Mai.
James n. Whelan's squadron was on picket
duty between Birney's infantry and
Kautz's cavalry. Maj. Edgar A. Hamil-
toms squadron was called out at daylight

KEPT PRISONER
In Tree by Bear Until He Was
Badly Frozen.


Badly Frozen.
Washington PENN Reporter.
Peter Steinholtz nearly froze to death
the other day in a tree, up which he had
climbed to escape from black bear. He
was chopp1ng wood on Dingman run, in
the western part of Potter county His
lunch basket was about a stones throw
away from the log on which he was work
Ing. He had left part of his dinner I'M
touched. Toward evening his attention
was attracted by a growing. A good
sized bear had found the basket and was
trying to force the lid off. SteinhoItz
started for the bear, thinking that the
animal would scamper away But in
stead of running away Bruin started for
him. With his ak raised Steinholtz wait
ed, and when the bear came within reach
struck at the beast. But the bear was too
quick. Steinholtz saw that his only chance
to escape was to climb tree He man
aged to shin UP a small white oak, rest
Ing in the rst limbs about twelve feet
above ground. The bear tried hard to
follow, but his short, clumsy legs could
not embrace the slender trunk, SO he
finally contented himself with travelling
round and round the tree, constantly
keeping his eve fixed on the captive
SteinholtZ. Finally Steinholtz lost con-
seriousness and when he came to he had
fallen from the tree; it was the fall, prob
ably, that Jared him back to conscious
ness. 1t was dark as pitch, but there was
no sign or sound of the bear, so the
Woodchopper hobbled oft home Both feet
and both hands were frozen.

"Mass of Agony" Is Celebrated, and
Indians Then Lead Their Victfms

ings of Indians Daily Reported
From the Interior.

WASHINGTON, May s.-The DEPART
ment of state has been informed by our
minister at Lapaz, Bolivia, under date
of March %, 1899, that on March 1 Col
Pando sent from his army at Sicasica 12o
men, commanded by Arturo Equine, to
Ayopaya, there to confer with Mr.. Orel-
lama as to the best means for stimuli
taneously attacking Cochabama..
On arriving at the town of Mohiza
Equine demanded loan of 200 Bolivars
from the priest Of the town, and 100 Boil
being refused the priest and mayor were
imprisoned. Meanwhile, however, the
priest had dispatched couriers to the In
dian villages, asking that the natives ate
tack Pando's men. A large crowd of In
dams came, and in spite of all measures
taken to pacify them, the arms of the
soldiers were taken away, the men SUBJ
jected to revolving treatment. and final
ly locked inside the church for the night.
In the morning the priest, after celebrat-
ing the so-called mass of agony" all
lowed the Indians to take out the IN
fortunate victims, two by two, and 103
were deliberately murdered, each pair
by different tortures. Seventeen escaped
death by having departed the day pre-
vious on another mission.
Each day brings news of risings of the
Indians in different sections of the north
ern part of the country.
a large party of whites arrived in La
paz today fleeing from the Indians.
