Letter from Peck's Army Chum.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
read COmrade Rob't NJ. Peck's story, and
the only thing l could add is that in 1851
Cos. G, H, and X, 4th Cav, guarded thu
party from Washington, ID. c., that sur
veyed the southern and western boundar-
les of Kansas. Our Colonel was Joseph
E. Johnston, who afterwards became
Major-General in the Confederate Army.
One morning the ambulance, loaded
with instruments, started ahead of the
command While crossing a raYine about
a quarter of a mile from US the ambulance
driver was killed and scalped by the
Comanches. The mules and arms were
taken by the Indians. My company was
sent in pursuit. We followed the redskins
to the CimarrOn River. We lost four men
and killed II Indians, but did not get the
mules. This occurred before Peck was
transferred to Co. X. He belonged to Co.
G, and was transferred to K in 1855

Gen. Jacksons Defeat OF the British at New
Orleans.


He had attacked the British advance
in the night of their arrival dec. 23), on
the Mississippi, and resisted their coun-
ter-attack on the ,2Sth, had dismounted
their guns and demolished their batteries
by the superior accuracy of his fire, when
they opened an srtilleTy duel on Jan. L;
and when they .Fashly attacked his in
trenchments across an open field on Jan.
y, his backwOOds rifiemen moved them
down at less than 2001yards as the mower
cuts the grass. 0f' four Major-Gen
present two. including hPakenham, were
killed and a third wounded. In one regi-
ment 800 were killed or wounded out of
n total of 715. The losses of the whole
command were 2,03G, out of 5000 en-
gagged. Jackson lost only eight killed and
u wounded on his own side of the river,
and counting the losses in MOrgan's com
mand on the west bank the aggregate was
only II. 1t is hard to find in military an
mails record of defeat so complete, I'M
der such unfavorable circumstances On
the British side were regular troops, the
veterans of Salamanca, and BadajOs, and
Ciudad Rodrigo, commanded by officers
specially selected for their skill and ex-
perience in actual war; while Jackson
commanded the most picturesque and mot
ley aggregation ever brought together:
two regiments of regulars, two brigades
of backwOodsmen, forming the militia of
Kentucky and Tennessee, a battalion of
free negroes, n detachment of Lafitte's
pirates, n squad of French soldiers who
had served under Napoleon, a battalion
of San Domingans, another of Louisiana
creoles, some sailors; and Jackson tower
ing above them all, riding the whirlwind,
and by the Eternal bringing or,er out
of chaos. Nothing was lacking to Tighten
the dramatic effect. and in these three
weeks Jackson gained popularity among
the masses of his cOuntrymen which n,
error or indiscretion during the subsc-
quent % years of his public life could ever
shake or diminish. lie remained in com

the slow shutting tread of age, and sub
ordinate duties and pleasures to the
capricious whims of second childhood.
The difference in these two old men is
simply a difference of health. The one
old man is hale and hearty, enjoys his
food, sleeps soundly, and keeps his grip
on public affairs. The other old man is
weak and feeble, his appetite and diges-
tion are poor, his sleep is unsound, he
has no interest in life or affairs save as
his personal comfort may be affected.
Healthy old age, whether in man or
woman, is largely a question of sound
stomach and pure, rich blood. To pre-
serve this condition nature generally
needs some assistance, in order to get
rid of the accumulations of waste, effete
and poisonous substances which tend
to clog the body and impede the circu-
lation. 1t is also needful to keep the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
tracts in a healthy condition, In order to
properly nourish the body.
HEALTH IN OLD AGE
can, therefore, best be enjoyed by the
use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This medicine cures diseases of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. 1t enables the per-
feet digestion and assimilation of the
food upon which physical strength de-
ponds. 1t cleanses the blood of clog
cling and poisonous matter, and by in
creasing the activity of the blood-1naking
glands, increases the supply of pure,
rich blood, which is the final form of
nutrition and the life of the whole phys
ical man.

Prisoner Objects to Statements in
Solicitor Generals Latest Brief.


Solicitor Generals Latest Brief.
From the New York Sun.
Leavenworth, Kan, April IA libel
suit against John K. Richards, solicitor
general of the department of justice, will
be begun by Oberiin M. Carter, ex-cap-
tain of engineers, confined in the Federal
penitentiary here. This announcement
was made by Carriers attorneys, Judge
Jeremiah NJ. Wilson of Washington and
John H. Atwood of this city yesterday.
The suit will be based on the state
ments in the brief of the solicitor gen.
eral filed in. the Supreme Court a few
days ago. The brief states that Carter
helped to steal s2OoO,O0O, and for his share
received more than 100000. This allega-
ton. it is alleged by Judge Wilson and
Mr.. Atwood, is irrelevant and scandal
lous and it was moved by Judge Wilson
that this part be stricken from the re-
cord.
Col. L. D. Carter, a wealthy uncle of
the prisoner. came to Leavenworth yes
terday in company with Judge Wilson,
and says that the efforts to free Carter
viii be continued so long as he is in
prison. Carriers sentence was for five
years, and he has served but two.
Several days ago, when the Board of
Physicians examined Carter, a dramatic
scene occurred. United States District At
torney Lambert was in charge of the ex-
animation, and it is alleged that one OF
the physicians cursed Carter, which
greatly excited the prisoner. Carter jump
ed to his feet and said:
You are a cowrd. Don't you dare put
your fingers on me again. You know that
am prisoner and helpless or you
would not dare insult me in this way.
You would never dare insult me in this
way II I were outside these prison walls.
Your associates are gentlemen and l am
willing they should conduct my examina-
ton, but without you"
1t Is understood that Carter complained
to the warden of the prison on account
of the language used by the physician
The attorneys state that the examination
was conducted by the remainder of the
board without the physician who had
caused the trouble.
