hereby tender this free advice, by one who
knows whereof he affirms: Don't, unless
you have to, for there is not the enjoy

But there was one grain of comfort
one fact that we did enjoy, and that was,
that Lees army was beaten and making
tracks for the Potomac. OF course, we
had no absolute assurance of this, as up
to this time We had seen no portion Of
Lees army, except our guards, from
whom we gathered various pointers indi-
eating that fact. They would not at first
admit defeat, but from time to time drop
ped remarks which plainly showed that
they apprt :iated the situation; such as:

Thomas Hughes, Poca, w. Va, writes:
"In the Summer Of 1862, at the battle Of
Fredericksburg, on the Confederate left,
in the afternoon, when the Union forces
were falling back, I, Confederate SOL
dier, was conveying dispatches, when 7

Missouri Soldiers Home.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In re-
cent issue, under the head Of Encamp-
ment Notes, appeared an article which
says: "Mrs. Hollen E. Day, the Presi-
dent of the w. r. c., founded the St.
James Soldiers Home, now the State
Federal Soldiers Home"
This error has been publicly published
for years, SO that very many of the mem-
bers, not only of the w. X. O., but also
of the G. A. R., are Of the opinion that
she is the founder. The facts are that
Mrs. Hollen e. Day was President of
the Board Of Directors of the w. r. G..
S. II. two years before the Home was
dedicated, as 1 was elected at Macon as
her successor and continued in Office as
President for nearly two years and as q
Director by the Governor by appointment
for the State for four years.
Ex-President Adah G. Briggs and Lu-
cinda A. Scott were Presidents of the w.
r. G. following the administration of Mrs.
Hollen q. Day. To attribute to any one
woman or comrade the credit of founding
the present Federal Soldiers Home would
be gross injustice, when the unselfsh
loyalty and charity of SO many added
their mite towards this splendid work.
The w. r. G. s. H. of Missouri was dedi-
Gated Oct. %, 1856, under the charge Of
the following officials: Henry Fairbank,
President; Mary McNab, Vice President;
man, Secretary. Directors, Mrs. Mary

Fort Gregg.

No comrade of the S9th N. Y. has been
more active in his efforts to establish the
claim of the 89th N. Y. to the honor of
being the first to enter Fort Gregg, than
James e. Northrup. Recently, Capt.
Northrup, who is Secretary of the Re
union Association of his regiment, visited
Washington, and hunted up a report of
Gen. Fairchild's, who commanded the bri-
gade that captured Fort Gregg. This re-
port he read at the Annual Reunion of
the 89th N. Y, held at Binghamton, Ross
Park, N. Y, Sept. II. Gen. Fairchild
gives the S9th credit as heading the charg-
ing force. The Binghamton Republican,
commenting on the claims of the S9th says:
Part Of one paragraph of this report,

"This report shows that Capt. Northrup
headed that charge; but it does not show,
as was the case, that it was he to whom
Capt. James Z. Duncan, who commanded
the fort, surrendered. The sword, which
was surrendered to him at that time, was
kept by Capt. Northrup until year ago,
when he returned it to the brother of
Capt. Duncan, another Confederate Cap
tain, the fort commander having died soon
after the war.
"Capt. Northrup has been invited to be
the guest of honor at the Reunion next
month at Culpeper, Va, Of the Confed-
crate Association, to which this officer be-
longs. The Confederates bave promised
to give him as warm reception, although

was informed that the Associated
Press had issued for publication the
text of the replies of all the European
courts except that of Germany to the
request OF Spain for concerted ac-
ton by the powers, sent out March

ed Press correspondent here asked
for the text of the German answer to
this request, The foreign Office said
that the answer Of the German gov
eminent was made orally by the Ger
man ambassador at Madrid. The an
swer was that Germany could not
take the initiative and must await the
action Of the other powers. Subse.
quent events made further answer
unnecessary.

to cablegramS from Washington, say
ing that the British embassy thera
admits making a second proposal,

tons against the United States. The
foreign Office added:
I've fully recognize the fact that
England had no evil intentions

such intentions, on the other hand,
