THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

The Fitty-seyenth congress began It's drst session
yesterday. On Saturday the democratic congressman
and the republican congressman held cacuses, Hon
James D. Richardson OF Tennessee who was the demo-
cratic leader In the last congress win be the demo.
cratic leader again. David Il. Henderson of Iowa who
speaker of tho last congress- will he speaker of
this congress. The republicans decided TO make no
change in tSo rules of the house although Mr. Hep
burn of Iowa introduced various amendments
The questions that will come before the present con.
gress will render II Of the important sessions
Of congress ever held, There is the question of the
Philippines. the tariff the reciprocity treaties the Chi
nese exclusion act the Nicaraguan canal the rivers
and harbors bill the increase in the naval appropria-
tions, the ship subsidy bill, amendments TO the inter-
state commerce act All Of these things and others
that will crop up the session progresses and many
questions will come up with $4,000 900 surplus in
the treasury to be disposed Of will Keep the hands
congress full.
On all of these questions The Post has already com
mented in full How congress will deal with them is
of the utmost importance to the country There is an

political situation must take into hecdlul account
When the White House clock strikes, to employ the

Ways of sutlers-willich's Love for His Old
Brigade.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: COmrade
j. Il. Carmichael, of Co. III, Goth ILL.,,
wrote humorously of ple-vender. L well
remember such yenders, and wonder how
much they must have realized from the
boys in blue" Often on the hard marches
it was q treat to get something besides
hardtack.
At one time our regiment was passing
a suffers wagon, and bought freely of
what he had. We were much amused at
one soldier lying by the roadside who
asked:
''sutler, what viii you charge to let me
smell of your cheese-knifef" This was
a crack" at the sutler for the exorbitant
prices he was asking for his goods. In
camp-life, however, suffers were usually
reasonable.
| think Tyree Springs, Tenn, was the
best camping-place we ever had during
our three years. 1t may have been the
beautiful fall and the fact that the sur
rounding country WAS fine, and afforded
us a good supply of meat, vegetables and
no small amount of honey, besides many
trees well loaded with nuts. We remained
here only about two weeks, and while
there saw Rosecrans for the first time.
Willich's Brigade was mostly 10th and
49th Ohio, 32d and .39th Ind, and S9th
Ill. Other regiments were in our brigade
at times, but, save the Both Ind, after it
was mounted, those named always were
present The First Brigade, Third Divi-
sion, Fourth Corps, as last organized, was
always ready for duty, and, as Which
once said, ready for any charge"
Our regiment was in % battles while
in that brigade, the last at Nashville,
Tenn, Dec. Is and 16, 1864. We idol
lied Gen. Which, and he must have ad-
mired the brigade, for he was once offered
the command of a division, it was said,
and wanted his brigade to go0with him.
He was to call the next morning, and
when he did so was told that the Division
Commander was not willing it should go.
Willich replied:
''Then / don't want the division.
would rather have my brigade than a
whole division"
Let others tell how long he had COM
manded those regiments, but he was Col
onel of the 32d Ind. and was with Grant
at Shiloh, etc. The S9th Ill. Joined at
Louisville, KY, in September, 1862.
Reynolds's Division and our brigade
covered the retreat to Rossville, holding
Bates's and Cheatham's Division back
and checking them on their terrible on
slaughts to crush the lines
Capt. j. NJ. Farquhar, Co. B, with b,
G. and K, formed the extreme rear on that
field, and well did those companies do the
duty assigned them.
With recruits the seth had 1,403 men.
Only 3S1 of the original number were
mustered out June 10, 1865, at Nashville
On the same date 202 recruits were trans
ferred to the 59th Ill.
At Chicago, Aug. 27, 1900, about 76
