TAKING OF FORT BALDWIN
William F. White, Co. d, 18th W. Va.
AledO, ILL.,, writes: Il have been watch
ing the discussion of what troops were
present at the surrender of Fort Gregg.
My first question is, which of the two
forts was Fort Gregg, the one on the
right or the one on the left of our posi-
ton! As | remember land / was then in
command of one of the companies at the
time, the 10th. 18th and 18th w. Va,
commanded by Gen. Harris tour brigade
CommanderJ We're ordered to storm the
fort on the left of the Union lines po-
sitiOn, and the fort was taken by the
above-named three regiments, unassisted
by any other troops. After the surrender
of this fort, which / always thought was
Fort Baldwin. our brigade was ordered to
the right of the Union lines to assist the
18th W. Va. 23d Ill. and 54th Pa. in
lost at least half of its strength at Fort
Gregg. Whether any other regiments
took part in stOrming Fort Gregg / am
unable to say; but the fort taken Fort

ORDER GIVEN BY GEN. SHERMAN.


H Annis, Co. b, Goth ILL.,, Columbus,
Wis, writes: My command, the Second
Brigade, First Division, Fourth Corps,
Army of the Cumberland, was changing
position from the right of Pine Mountain
to the left near Little Kenesaw. We fell
back, passed around the low ground which
lays in front of the point of Pine Noun
tain on which Bishop Polk was killed.
We came to several pieces of artillery
waiting for position. Capt. SimonSon. 9TH
Ind. Battery, was at the right directing
the placing of the guns. Gen. Sherman
and his staff rode up. His attention was
called TO n group OF men on the point Of
Pine Mountain about half Il mile to our
right. Gen. Sherman in person gave the
order TO fire the gun. An officer, l think
a member of Sherman's staff, dismOunted,
and sighted the piece. The gun was fired.
near big pine tree where there was Il
pit for sharpshootcrs with several men in
it. Within half hour our Signal Corps
had learned by reading the rebel signals
that Gen. Polk had been killed and his
nephew wounded. and three men in the
pit killed and others wounded. 1t is re-
corded in the history of the Goth Ill. that
Gen. Polk was killed by shot from one
of the guns of Capt. SimonsOn's 9th Ind.
Battery on the morning of June IA, 1864,
and that the order was given by Sherman
in person. My regiment was standing at
rest within a few feet of the guns at the
killed while placing his gun i'll battery
during an artillery duel on June 10, and
probably the shot was fired by one of the
sharpshooters on the point of Pine Noun
tain. Capt. SimOnsOn was Chief of Artil-
lery of the division.

GETTYSBURG.

n. II. Decke, Sth n. Y Cav. 400 Syca-
more street, Lansing, Mich, replying to
the statements of Dan. l.. Lewis Co. G.,
9th n. Y. Cav, and COmrade Ellis, of Ca
Iona, Wis, in regard to the opening Of
the fight at Gettysburg, says: The 9th
n. Y. Cav. did not begin the battle Of
Gettysburg. History shows that the Sth
\. Y, Sth ILL.,. part of the Sd Ind. and
part of the 18th III. started the fight near
the Seminary at Z a. M, July l, the Sd
Ind. supporting our battery. The battery
was located first just across the road
from the Seminary, the Sth n. Y. in front,
and on the left of it were thrown out as
skirmishers crossing Willoughby Run, the
Sth Ill. supporting the skirmish line and
the 18th Ill. held in reserve. OF course
there were many changes during the day.
After the First Corps came up we charged
with regiment of infantry and captured
nearly the entire 18th Alabama. This
regiment had double-Quicked for a number
of miles, and had been thrown into action
without rest; consequently they surren-
dered without much resistance. On June
30, when the First Brigade. First Di-
vision, commander by Gen. Buford, passed
through Gettysburg about p. m, and
camped on the level ground between the
Seminary and the town, we were treated
well, the citizens bringing us eatables in
large quantities; but next day a loaf of
bread or a pie could not be purchased for
less than 30 cents"

A System With Many convenlsness
That 10 Spreading In citIes.

Clubhouses in New York tend to be
more and more like hotels. 1t used to
be that few clubhouses had accommo-
dations for dodgers. Now almost
every clubhouse has few dodgers.
and the large new houses OF the past
five years have many rooms to let.
One club found its lodgings SO profit
able that it doubled its number Of
sleeping rooms, and then found SO
many members seeking transient &C.
Communications that it put out all the
permanent dodgers. A club with =

ants may reasonably expect an in

to $4,000.
Club lodgings usually cost little
less than equally good accommoda-
tions ut comfortable hotel. At these
rates members are glad to lodge at
the club whenever they have need Of
temporary accommodations in town.
AS club lodgings are SO much in de-
mand the length of time that they can
be occupied has to be regulated. A
lodger usually is restricted to from
ten days to three or four weeks.
Clubs that let lodgings usually keep
one or more Wallets whose business 1t
is to brush. clean and press the clothes
of dodgers. The rule against tipping
in clubs is somewhat relaxed in the
case of the valet, when a ledger de-
mands of him more than the usual
amount of service.
Clubs that have not large non.
resident list find 1t profitable to let
most of their lodgings to permanent
tenants. There are club lodgings that
have been let to the same tenants for
twenty years, and some that are held
for tenants who pass half the year In
Europe. Only the largest clubs reut
suites of apartments to dodgers.
It is a pretty well recognized law Of
club life that member Is not bound
to observe all the club rules In his
lodgings. A member who plays cards
in the public rooms of the club must
play within the limits fixed by club
rules. but a member playing In his
lodgings may play for somewhat
must not turn his lodgings into a
gambling den. A club lodger who set
up q roulette wheel in his rooms was
at length gently reminded that he was
violating club rules.
Club lodgings are not necessarily
the luxury of the rich, but they are not
to be recommended to the man who
wishes to save money out OF a moder,
ate income. A man may lodge and
dine modestly at an inexpensive club
for $50 or 800 a month, but II he be
convivial or sybarite his expenses
may easily be five or ten times as
