EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As The

Il. Raum's articles OIL the Atlanta cam
paign. They are, of all written accounts
the most correct and interesting to me-
having tramped over the ground myself
on that memorable occasion.
l am looking forward with no little
anxiety for the account of the march to
the sea from Atlanta, as l was detailed
from our regiment as one of "Shermans
bummers," so called, and remained with
that body until its dissolution in 1865.
The ''Sherman's bummers' of the Second
Brigade, Third Division, Fourteenth
Corps, were commanded by a Lieutenant.
| would like to know through The Ma
tional Tribune how many of these bum
mers of the Second Brigade, Third Divi-
sion, survive, and their whereabouts; also
the name and address of the Lieutenant
in command, if living, with the object of
a Reunion at Washington in October next.

Camp Cochrane,


Dear Sister: We were drilled in a new
way night before last. We were detailed
for fatigue duty, and. after we had been
formed in line, the Adjutant told our Cap
tain that he wanted 10 files, or 90 men,
to go to a cOrn-husking that night. So
about = O'Clock in the evening we formed
and marched over to MiddletOn's, where
there was huge pile of corn waiting for
us. There We're about 20 from other COM
panies there. We pitched in, Co. X first,
as she always is, and if that corn didn't
fly corn never did. After we had worked
for about half an hour the others pitched
In, but they could not make the corn fly
at all. So, after they had worked awhile.
the Adjutant came down from the house
with his girls. As soon as he saw which
crowd was at work. he said: pitch in.
Co. X" then to his girls, "NOw you will
see the corn fly" We made it fly; we
kept two niggers hard at work taking
the huSks away. After we had got it all
husked, about II o'clock, we were invited
into the house, where a fine supper was
waiting for us, and to which we did ample
justice-especially to the ale. After sup
per we filed out of the house and received
the thanks of the host; then homeward to
bed.
Yesterday we formed with our new
clothes on. and listened to splendid
speech from our Colonel. We had the
band from the 23d Pa. Regiment here and
wound up our proceedings with a grand

upon symptoms. Every one can know pre-
cisely what disease they have by having
their blood tested, and this test is free to
everybody. BLOOD Wine," the leading
medicine of today, las from the moment of
its discovery led the way in the general
overthrow OF disease merely because il treats
disease in an entirely new way. The printi-
pile upon which "Blood Wine" works is to
abstract from the blood the poisons that
stagnate the system, and 10 cause each
organ to perform its work. People that are
diseased have some-frequently several
organs that are inactive. This medicine
arouses them, in keeping with nature. 1t is
not temporary stimulant. 1t is not mar
cotic, or deadener of pain or feeling. 1t
acts in the system as steam does in an
engine. 1t furnishes energy, supplies fuel,
and draws out of the blood the germs from
every nook and corner. The makers of
"Blood Wine," in order that every body may
have a chance to know scientifically what
flows through their blood, have arranged
with an eminent physician and bacteriologist

teriolory, who can tell at glance at their
blood the state of ones general health, the
