Died at his home on the Bull
Pasture, on Thursday the 18th day
of April 1901. Ii. NJ. Pullin, age
GO years and was buried in the Pull
lin grave yard near New Salem
church, Friday evening with his
relatives, who have gone on before.
The funeral service was conduct
ed by his pastor Rev NJ ? Weikle
at New Salem church of which he
was a CONSTANT member. The
funeral sermon was delivered in an
impressive manner from the APP
propriate text; II have fought a
good fight; | have finished my
course, ! have kept the faith" IL
Timothy. 4 chap. 7 verse.
The writer of this sketch has
known brother Pullin- some forty
years or more. He was my friend.
In private life lie was loving hus-
band, a gentle and indulgent father
As a citizen he enjoyed the conf
dence and esteem of the entire COM
Of the Bull Pasture, where
his years from infancy to manhood
were spent. His mourning rela-
tiyes and sorrow stricken wife and
children may surely know that
their grief is largely shared by the
entire community and by all who
knew him. Strong men tried in
vain to check the tear of sorrow
and bereavement.
Bro. Pullin was converted and
Joined the NJ E church South some
twenty three years ago at revival
held at New Salem church by Bro
A Q Flarerty. All these years he
has lived a CONSTANT christian
life, and when the summons came
he was ready and willing to answer
tie call Of his master.
May we not trust that as the
darkness of death fell upon the
strong and earnest soul the sun
Of righteousness dawned into his
leart with the radiant light of hope
md faith. May we not hope that
light settled thick upon the fast
,bbing life, be could catch the
breath of a better land and discern
l ray of light from the brighter
morning. Bro. Pullin will be
greatly missed as a citizen. The
church will miss him, but above
Ill and more than all he will be
missed by that wife with whom he

EDITOR NATIONAL TRTBUNE: Some time
in May one of my friends in your army
of guessers was kind enough to make me
a present of years subscription to yon
valuable paper. May he hit the Bulls
eyei
In April, 1862, was detailed for extra
duty in the Construction Corps of the
Rappanhannock, under command of Col
Haupt. | was afterward changed to the
Volunteer Engineer Corps, under the same
officer. We raced up and down the Val
ley, building and destroying bridges, re-
pairing railroads and other roads. Sept
80 1 was detailed to Washington, with
Lieut.. T. r. Kennedy, Adjutant- General
and Quartermaster of the Corps, to make
out the pay rolls for the men, and tn.
Engineer Corps was disbanded. l don't
think 10 of the 800 to 500 men that were
in both organizations ever knew me by
my name, but they all knew me as
"Yank," or if they wanted a favor of
some kind, as "Serg't Yank." The Off
GERS had two messes, and | was steward
of both messes, with board included in
each squad.
L had my right shoulder dislocated at
Rappahannock Station; my horse was
shot under me near Groveton and in the
spill, owing to my right leg being lame
from being struck with a spent musket-
ball, l fell on the lower side of the nag
and had some ribs broken.-JoHN III.

they saw the field far down the valley
dotted with squads of Pickett's broken
regiments, while nearer were the frag-
ments of the other commands In full re-
treat. Thus ended the events of those
brief 10 minutes-the gallant charge-the
successful planting Of the Confederate
standards along the entire line of the Fed
the right, where Kemper made his fierce
entrance into the enemy's line, his speedy
repulse-and the overwhelming rally of
Hancock's forces, enveloping and dispers-
ing Pickett's Division-the terrible on
slaught on the left, and the dispersal of
the last of that splendid body of $4,000
picked troops who had essayed to do what
was impossible of accomplishment. Con-
spicuous gallantry had brought to the
Confederate banner an accumulation of
martial honor, but on no field was ever
more devotion shown, more heroism, more
nerve than on that day which has been
justly considered the turning point in the
tide of Confederate achievement.
1t was indeed a field of honor as well
as field of blood, and the sister States
of Virginia and North Carolina had equal
cause to weave chaplets of laurel and of
cypress. On their sons the heaviest blows
fell, and to them is due the need of high
est praise. Archer's brave men doubtless
suffered heavily, but the chief loss was
borne by the three North Carolina and
the three Virginia brigades that partici-
pated in the assault upon the works.
The losses of the latter are easy of as
certainment-for they We're fresh and had
been in no other conflict; while the for
mer, having suffered heavily on the first
day and having lost most of their regi-
mental and company officers, made at the
time no special return of the loss in this
now celebrated charge.
Lane carried in 300 and lost GOO, near

Brigade was about ZOO strong and lost

ed. Scales's Brigade suffered in like pro-
portion. These three brigades doubtless

The three Virginia brigades lost 224

of 1,364. They had besides 400 missing
While the North Carolina brigades did not
have so many captured" as Picketts
troops, they doubtless suffered heavier
loss in killed and wounded, although they
took into the fight smaller force, and
their organization was much disturbed by
the severe loss i'll regimental and company
officers in the battle of the first. But
despite this drawback, they exhibited n
heroism, constancy and an endurance
unsurpassed upon that field where they
accomplished as much as any other troops
suffered greater losses and remained the
longest. Indeed, it was to them day of
glory as of mournful disaster.

Gen. Israel Garrard, the Gallant Colonel OF
the 7th Ohio Cav.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Gen.
Israel Garrard, who died Saturday, Sept.
81, at Frontenac-on-Lake-Pe MIMI,
was widely connected and faTorably known
in Cincinnati. In his early life he was q
well-knOwn lawyer of this city. At the
outbreak of the civil war he entered the
United States army as Colonel of the It'll
Ohio Cav, which regiment he led with
most distinguished success. Within a
year after entering the service he was
promoted to the command of a brigade OF
cavalry, and for nearly two years of the
war was either in command of brigade
or division of cavalry, always, however,
having his old 18th Ohio Cav. closely IN
der his eye. As an army officer his term
of service was spent wholly in the field
of active operations. He was most dis
tinguished for good judgment, quick ac-
ton, and for his great personal bravery,
which was borne with demeanor Of
calmness that made a deep imprint upon
all associated with him. 1t may be said
that it was the example and precept Of
Gen. Garrard that made his regiment, the
18th Ohio Cav, one of the most famous in
the army. His high character, courtly and
gentlemanly manner, great courage and
intense love of country, impressed deeply
the LOO young men of his regiment, and
in a great degree helped to mold their
characters. In return these 1,200 young
soldiers gave their commander their con-
fidence and devoted affection, and they I'M
hesitatingly followed his flag wherever
he might lead.
He was a descendant of Gov. Garrard,
of Kentucky, and of the Ludlows of Gin
cinnati. He was a brother of the late
Gen. Kenner Garrard, and of Col. Jeptha
Garrard, both well-known Cincinnatians.
For many years he lived at Frontenac.
Mimi, where he had a handsome estate
fronting on Lake Pepin. He leaves two
children, q son and a daughter. His wife
died many years ago.-THEoDoRE E.

PROFESsoR MOORE PROTESTS.
Chief Weather Forecnster Did Not Pre-
 dict Months Hot Wave.

Philadelphia, July 4.-The following telegram was received this afternoon at the Philadelphia office of The Associat- ed Press:
 Scranton, Pa, July 4. Tuesday night, July ?, at the request of the New York Journal I stated in substance that the oppressive heat covering the country east of the Rocky Mountains would continue for at least three days longer, except that thunder storms might afford temporary breathing spells. The New York press and the dispatches therefrom this morning un- fairly criticize me for the contents of the interview given to the Journal, al- thought two or three days have passed and the heat remains with us except where temporary relief was given by the local showers predicted. I have made no prediction that the hot wave would last month Such a prediction would be the height of absurdlty and I protest against the unfair treatment of putting foolish words into my mouth and then making these words the basis of editorial criticism.

PORTO RICO FOR FREE TRADE.
Assembly Unanimously Passes the Reso-
 lution for It.

San Juan. P. R., July 4.-In a joint session lasting three hours the Porto Rican assembly to-day unnimously passed the free trade resolution. The assembly hall was crowded with people. and cheers greeted the announcementS that Governor Allen had .signed the resolution.
 The free trade resolution begins with a preamble in which reference is made to section of the Foraker law. The resolution then continues: '"The Porto Rlcan assembly in extra session and acting pursuant to the instructions of congress, does hereby notify the pres- ident of the United States that by vir- tue of the Hollander act and other acts it has enacted and put into operation a system of local taxation to meet the necessities of insular government and it hereby directs that a copy of this joint resolution be presented to the president of the United States and res quests that Governor Allen deliver the resolution to President Mckinley to Ille eliel tlletI llIS pIOCld pC lSouCU July 25, as that day is being establish- ed a legal Porto Rican holiday to com- memorate the anniversary of the com- ing of the American flag"
 Governor Allen personally read a message before the assembly in which he exhaustively reviewed the financial situation of the island and showed that Porto Rico possessed abundant reve- nues for it's needs without drawing up- on customs receipts.
 Several other lengthy speeches were made. The resolution passed at 1245 and was signed by Governor Allen at D. m. To-day's action of the assem- bly, is considered to be the most ir1- portant taken by it since the inaugura- tion of Governor Allen.
