RAID ON A BEEF TRANSPORT.
A Windfau for Hungry Soldiers, Caused
Through CaDtain's Obstinacy

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: During
the Summer OF 1864 the 22d KY. was
stationed at Morganza Bend. La. Tho
22d at this time was a small regiment,
having been greatly reduced by absences.
sickness, and casualties. Our post com
mander was M. X. Lawler.- -Four com
panies of the 22d were detailed for head
quarters guards. Our duty was TO guard
general headquarters, prison, and steam
boat landing: A large force was now
stationed at the Bend. This was shortly
after Banks's unfortunate expedition into
Texas. The tented field, spread far and
wide, presented the appearance of a city
OF snowy Whiteness. Such force renuired
lots OF ratlons. The General Commissary
was well supplied, excepting with beef.
One day by some means our men learned
that a large wheel-boat was on its wav TO
New Orleans, loaded down with fine beef
cattle. When she came down the Missis
sippi she had on full head of steam. She
thrasied in the water wonderfully. and
paid little attention TO headquarters, which
was not at all nice, and it was contrary 10

fore his tent-door watching the fast-Teced-

The General arose 10 his feet and called
the Captain OF the battery. Posted near
headquarters for such occasions was one
section Of steel guns Said he:
Captain, hail that boat"
The cannoneers, who occupied tents
near the guns, promptly replied, not waiting
for the Captain to give the order A blank

and there was much guying of the poor

same.
While at Morganza the 10th Ohio's term
expired, which was sad for us, as the 22d

years or more. We felt pretty bad when

was in danger. and concIrred in sending
Mr.. Frederick w. Seward to PHILADELPHIA.
to urge upon him the necessity of proceed
ing Immediately to Washington in a quiet
way. The messenger arrived late on
Thursday night. after Mr.. Lincoln had
retired, and requested an audience. Mr..
Lincoln's fears had already been aroused,
and he was cautious. of course, in the
matter OF receiving "a stranger. But salts
fled that the messenger was indeed the son
| OF Mr.. Seward. he gave him audience.
Nothing needed to be done but TO inform
him OF the plan entered into with the detect

as he had promised. attended the flag
raising at Independence Hall in Philadel-
phia, the historic building in which had
been adopted the Declaration of Independ-
ence. The occasion was a memorable one,
and Mr.. LincOln's address eloquent and
impressive. "All the political sentiments
| from the sentiments which were given to
| the world from this hall" He espoke calmly
| but firmly of his resolve to stand by the
principles OF the immortal Declaration and
Of the Constitution of his country; and, rs
! though conscious of the dangers of his
| position, he added solemnly: 81 have said
nothing but what am willing to live by,
and, if IL be the pleasure Of Almighty God,
10 die by."
From Philadelphia Mr. Lincoln went i'm
mediately to Harrisburg, and attended the
reception given him by the Pennsylvania

day. Then, leaving his hotel in the even

PLANT is ASSURED,
Senate Agrees TO Appropriation
for Rock Island Ar
senal.
FOR THE SMALL ARMS FACTORY
Money for Bridge, Wing Dam
and Hennepin
Canal.

Within a comparatively short time
the buildings at Rock Island arsenal
will be equipped with machinery for
making small arms such as the krsg-
Jorgensen rifles, the senate yesterday
agreeing to an appropriation of 5000
600 for the installation of the ueces-
sary machinery. This appropriation
has already been agreed to by the
house and as soon as the conferees
agree to the differences existing be-
tween the two houses, the mea sure
will 90 to the president for his APP
prevail, after which the money for
equipping the Rock Island plant with
machinery will become available.
There will be no delay in installing
the machinery. as the ordnance bu-
reau of the war department has had
ample time in which to make arrange
ments for the machinery owing to
the delay of year in beginning this
work.
1t is believed by Mai. S. f. Blunt i,
commandant at the arsenal, that the
plant will he in readiness for opera
ton within the next 10 or II months.
But before operations begin more
money must be appropriated. With
the additional arms that will be
turned out at Rock Island arsenal it
will be a paratively short time
before the National Guard will be
equipped with the latest improved
rifle. as legislation will soon be en-
acted by congress authorizing the
secretary of war to exchange the OBJ
solete arms now used by the militia
for those of the latest pattern.
Additional Appropriations.
Additional items OF interest in Illi-
nois in the sundry civil bin agreed 10

A Philadelphia paper tells story of
a banker in that city who was visited by
the strange hallucination that he had
hair growing in his throat. Doctor af-
ter doctor examined him, telling him
he was fooled, but that did not make
any difference. Finally clever young
surgeon snlpped couple OF hairs from
his wrist surreptitiously in an ante
room, fastened them to the end of an
instrument, put it down the bankers
throat, gave it little iab and pulled it
out again with the hair, sure enough,
at the 9. d of it. The banker is cured.

duced if he could borrow the piece TO
a few days. Afterward he reporte'
that it was made where he thought
near Oldham, and was called by tn
manufacturer his No. 85."
