After collecting a drove they would take
them to Cincinnati and sell them to the
Government.
At Jones's Station, about two miles
north of Elliston's and six miles south of

When Hobson was hot in pursuit of
Morgan, four of these horse thieves rode
up to this store and asked the proprietor
if there were any good horses in the neigh
borhood, remarking that they were Hob
sons men, and We're authorized by that
General to obtain all the horses they could
find for the use of his command.
You want horses, do yOui" asked the
| proprietor of the store, as he slowly arose

He soon came out and walked TO the barn
and placed the key in the lock, then
turned around to the men, and quicker
than a flash leveled two six-shooters at

REMARKS.
From The Evening Star, Washington, D
c., March 26, 1852

REWARD FOR MERIToRIoUs SERVICES.
About II months ago 16 privates. be-
longing to Ohio regiments, were detailed,
by the late Gen. Mitchell, for special duty,
and accordingly penetrated Georgia for
the destruction of railroads and otherwise
to damage the enemy; but the rebels cap
tured them, hung seven and confined the
remainder in dungeons, treating them US
felons On Monday six of the number
arrived at Washington, having been sent
to Fortress Monroe under flag OF truce.
The others, it is supposed, escaped from
prison. Yesterday, by request, these re-
turned soldiers bad an interview with the
Secretary OF War in the presence of Il
number of army officers. The Secretary
presented each of them with u medal, such
as was authorized by the late Congress
for mertori0us conduct, these being the
first beStowals of that character. He in
addition gave to each 500, and ordered
the payment of the arrearages due them,
and sum equivalent to that taken from
them by the, rebels. He also requested
Gov. Tod to appoint these men Lieuten-
ants of volunteers. In the event of the
Governor not doing so, they will be brev-
cited Leutenants in the Regular service
They subsequently had an interview with
the President at the White House.

nearly two weeks before, during which
time we learned nothing of events occur
ring outside of our own commands. Now
we learned for the first time that Hoods
army had left our front at Atlanta, the
last week of September, and by a wide
circuit to the west had reached our conf
munications about Marietta; in fact, had
reversed the movement by which we
reached the railroad south of Atlanta and
forced its evacuation, and was now ac-
tually in possession of our intrenchmentS
and the railroad north of Atlanta. con-
fidently waiting our turn TO abandon this
stronghold.
Sherman sent our division, as we knew,
into Middle Tennessee to protect his flank.
and leaving the Twentieth Corps to hold
Atlanta, followed Hood with the remain
der of our army, and was now earnestly
striving to save his storehouscs and the
railroad from a general wreck. Fortu-
nately, AllatOona, where more than Il mil
lion rations were stored, was saved by
heroic defense.
(Sherman, on Kencsaw Mountain, wit
nessed the attack and signaled to Gen.
CorSc. the commander at AllatOona,
Hold the fort, for | am coming" which
incident afterward suggested the famous
scng)
Leaving Athens, Oct. 13, our division
reached Chattanooga the next day. The
garrison, consisting mostly of GONZALES
CENTS was greatly excited. All business
was suspended and citizens. soldiers and
contrabands were all hard at work adding
to, or strengthening, the works already
impregnable. Hood they said, With his
entire army, was advancing on the city.

peared at ROssyiile. Anxious looks were

that he agrees with Comrade S. ]. Fox
on the subject of establishing National
Homes for the Confederate veterans. He
believes, however, that the Confederate
hcmes should be separate from the Ma
tiOnal Homes for the disabled veterans OF
the Union army.
A. S. Cole, Co. B, 34th Ohio, Fearis,
KY, believes that at least two-thirds Of
the veterans are opposed to the monthly
payment of pensions. Comrade Cole also
opposes any National Home for Confed-
crate veterans. He believes that the o.
S. Government has no more right to build
home for Confederates than it has to
pension them. He, however, does not op-
pose State Homes for ex-Confederates.

Incidents of the Morgan Raid.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I was
very much interested in reading Comrade
MosgrOve's account of Morgan's raid
through Indiana and Ohio.
In the Fall of 80, after I was mus
tered out, | left my home in New
York and went to Dayton. O.. where
| was in the employ of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton Railroad for several
years. While on the road / heard con
siderable about Morgan's raid.
Morgan's main command crossed the
o., ii. Il ID. at a place called Eliston's,
about IL miles from Cincinnati. He prob
ably had scouting parties out on his
tanks, some of them being much nearer
the city. Hobson followed in his wake,
but as Morgan had the first pick of horses
he had the advantage.
There were irresponsible paries scour-
ing the country, taking all the horses they
could find, claiming they were for Hobson.

THEY ARE TO BE PROMOTED.
Secretary Stanton requested Mr.. Wet
more to ask Gov. Tod, in his name, to
appoint each one of these gentleman-pa-
triots to a First Lieutenancy in such reg
iments as there may now exist vacancies.
If there are no such vacancies, he assured

First Lieutenants in the Regular Army
The soldiers remained for some time in
conversation with the Secretary and the
other gentlemen present, all of whom re-
ceived valuable information in relation to
the practice of the rebel authorities.
BY INVITATION THEY VISIT THE PREsI-
DENT.
President Lincoln, having requested the
soldiers to pay him a visit, on taking
leave of the War Office, they went di-
rectly to the White House, with Gen.
Hitchcock and Mr.. WetmOre, where they
were received with exceeding warmth of
feeling by the President. Mr.. Lincoln
manifested the utmost sympathy for their
suffernEs, and commended them for the
accomplishing courage with which they
had submitted to them. He thanked them
on behalf of the people. They departed
after very interesting interview of half
an hours duration.
ROLL OF HONOR.
We give the names OF these brave SOL
ders who have been the very first to re-
ceive medals from the Government for
meritorious conduct: Serg't Il. Fl. Mason,
Jacob Parrot, William Pittenger, Robert
Bufum, William Reddick and William
Sansinger. Buffum will be remembered
by many as one of the persons who took
such an active part in the Kansas trouble
in 1857.
REMARKS.
We may remark, in conclusion, that it
is the intention of the Government to pub
lish the sworn statements of these brave
and patriotic soldiers, in which they de-
tail the cruelties which characterize the
rebel treatment, of not only themselves
and comrades, but other loyal citizens and
soldiers. 1t also intends to inaugurate a
system of retaliation which shall prevent
their repetition in the future.

Reject PROPOSITION
Recognition of the
Union.

Chica go. July IA proposition was
made by the railroads to the freight
handlers individually yesterday. and II
was rejected by the latter. The rail
roads proposed that committees ap-
pointed by the employees at the vari-
GUS freight houses meet with the rail
road superintendentS to discuss the de-
mandS of the men, and admitted that
some ADVANCE in wages might be jus
titled. Having been warned that an at
tempt would be made to ignore their
union. the men declined to be repre-
Sented at any conference unless the
executive committee of their organiza-
uOn was present.
An attempt to address the men in
the Rock Island freight house made by
Hit, the Chicago agent. met with q
rebuff. Hit offered the men an in
crease in wages. President Curran. of
the Freight Handlers union. stepped
forward when Hit asked if the men
had anything to say. Curran was not
allowed to speak, and the 200 men in
the freight house followed him out of
the warehouse, where a meeting was
held.
Chicago. July 1.-The boiler re-
pair men of the Chicago & North
western road struck today for an adj
vance of from 80 to 30 cents per
hour. Committees representing the
shops at Boone, Council Bluffs and
Clinton, Iowa, and Chicago are hold
ing a meeting here today. They
claim that all he boiler repair men,
numbering 260, are out. a further
advance is to be asked of the North
western by the machinists, number
ing $50. The threatened strike of
10000 freight handlers did not ma
terialize today.

STICK TO OLD CHURCH
Parting Words of Episcopal Clergy
men Who Pleads for Sim
pIicity in Worship.

Milwaukee, July Rev. Charles
Stanley Lester, who retired as rector
of ST. PauTs Episcopal church yester-
day after % years service, in his
farewell sermon took occasion to
criticize Indirectly the tendency of
the Episcopal church toward ritual
ism. His remarks were interpreted
to be an attack upon Bishop Nichol-
son. He said in part:
''It is easy to turn the crank of the
ecclesiastical machinery, grinding
grace by pretty magic. but il leaves
the mind clouded and the under
standing laboring to reconcile the
modicum of apparent truth with that
which is apparently false. There is
ever a struggle betY en- the majority
and the minority seeking the truth,
though the majority generally being so
adjusted to the darkness that it wins
at first, but the evolution of human
capacity goes steadily onward, and
God wins in the end.
Now, while true to the old faith
and conscious of the acknowledge
ment of the new faith. let us con-
gratulate ourselves that there has
been no sacrifice in the years of our
worship. of our intellectual honesty.
Do not forget, nor let others after
ardship, forget that the church
should remain as it was built, a Prot
estant Episcopal church"

narrow-gauge line, 100 miles long. run

Frawley was perfectly conscious to
the last, giving directions about his
