prisoners. Next day my regiment was de-
tailed to take the prisoners back to
Burksville Junction, IL miles. The roads
were very bad, and the prisoners were so
weak for want of food that it took US all
day to get to the Junction. We, too, were
out of rations;, and when we got TO our
destination all we could find there was
some corn in the ear We gave each pris-
oner an ear of corn for supper. Now

STONE RIVER BATTLEFIELD.
An Association Formed at Murfreesboro,
Tenn, to Secure the Historic Grounds for
a National Park.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The
writer belonged to Co. I, 124th Ind, and
after the war Travelled over large portion
of the United States in search Of loca-
ton, and finally settled in Rutherford Co.,
Tenn, where | own a farm of 800 acres, a
part of it being the ground fought over in
the bloody battle OF Stone River in the
Winter OF go and '63. / am also en-
gagged in the real estate business, and live
in Murfreesboro. | have my Office in the
Barton Block, which is headquarters for
all old soldiers and their friends who visit
this country.
The old veterans of this county, both
those who wore the blue and those who
wore the gray, have formed an association,
known as the Stone River Battlefield and
National Park Association. The object is
to keep alive the memory of those who lost
their lives in this battle, and to encourage
the building of a National Park, etc. We
had q very interesting meeting i'll our
Opera House recently, to commemorate the
anniversary of the battle OF Stone River.
Capt. Carter b. Harrison, 51st Ohio, now
a resident of this city, presided. The prin-
cipal speaker was Capt G.. 4. Sheafe.
59th Ohio, also 4 resident of this city, who
in his personal recollections of the battle,
from n Federal standpoint, gave a full
and complete history of all the movements
as he saw them during the three days'
fighting DR. j. b. Murfree, of this city,
followed with very able and appropriate
discourse, describing the battle from a
Confederate standpoint, he also being a
participant in the battle on the Confedcr-
ate side Both speakers gave in detail the
movements of each army from beginning
to end. and while mentioning the heroic
deeds performed by each army, due re-
spect was paid TO the bravery and heroic
deeds performed by the opposite side.
The house was crowded from floor to
gallery, and the meeting was enjoyed by
all, which goes to prove that the war of
the rebellion is no longer fought over in
this county. but all honor paid to the
memory of those, on both sides who gave
up their lives fighting for what they
thought was right.-FRANK- MCCLURE,

listments were made in the rebel amy.
The rebels had gotten together something
over 325, 900 men in March. 1862, when
the Confederate Congress passed a law
that no more new regiments should be-
formed, and that there should be general
cOnscriptiOn TO fill up those already in the
field. Men fit for military duty who shonld
volunteer, would be allowed to select their
regiments. Those who did not would be
put into regiments that needed them. This
policy was pursued till the end of the war.

Baltimore, Aug. 6.-The issues in a
campaign which will determine whether
or not Arthur Pue German will again
occupy seat in the United States SEN
ate and become factor in national poll
tics were fully made up today by the ac-
ton of the republicans at their state
convention. Like the democrats, they
paid more attention to the adoption of a
platform than to the selection of candi-
dates for the minor Offices of controller
and clerk of the court of appeals.
The platform was the work of Senator
McComas and Philip Lee Goldsborough,
chairman of the state central committee,
who is regarded az a promising candi-
date for the seat of Senator Wellington.
In the etvent the republicans AIRY the
state. Unlike the democratic declara-
ton of principles, much stress is laid
upon national issues. The administers
ton of President Mckinley is heartily
endorsed; the policy of the republican
party upon the tariff. currency and 9th
er vital questions of national moment
is vigorously commended. while that of
the democrats is quite as vigorously de-
nounced. Governor Smith comes in for
full condemnation for having called a
special session of the legislature which
was held in the spring of this year,

San Francisco. Aug. 6.-News has
just reached here from Shelby's Smelt-
ing works. Vallejo. thirty miles from
here, that $4,000 worth of gold bullion
was stolen during the night.
The thieves tunnelled under the
works and gained access to the
strong room where the bullion was
stored. The works are located close
to San Francisco Bay and the tunnel
extended from the waters edge under
the building. The smelter is the larg-
est on the coast and ores from all parts
of the west Were sent there to be re-
duced.
President Ralston, of the Shelby smelt-
ing Works, stated to the Associated
Press that the thieves had excavated a
tunnel between three and four hundred
feet long from point near the railroad
tunnel and under the strong room con-
nected with the works and had secured
bars of bullion valued at $4,000, and
had transported the gold to boat watt
Ing near the company's wharf. In their
hurry to get away one bar had been left
on the beach. The robbers took the usual
precaution of strewing their tracks with
red pepper. presumably to throw the
bloodhounds off the track. Each bar
was numbered and description of the
various bars is now in the hands of de-
tectives. Ralston stated that the rob-
bers could not dispose of the bullion
without having it smelted and mixed
with other metals. There is absolutely
no clue to the identity of the robbers.
