his headquarters received n terrific bonn

company was arraigned and the culprits
were degraded by having their stripes re-

longed to the I'd Iowa. He was quietly

ish line struck tree. glanced and hit him
in the head, killing him; another, that the
wound was not fatal. Gen. Dodge was
wounded when on the front line of works
looking through his field glass. A ditch
led from the heavy works to the less
formidable works on the front line, there
being a small ridge between the two. We
could pass from one line to the other with
ont exposing ourselves. The rebels had

covering a hole to draw their fire was
certain to be perforated by one or more
bullets. When Gen. Dodge went to peep
through hole the boys warned him of the
danger. Unhecding them, he was shot
in The forehead. That incident taught
him, no doubt, that at times private

Make Use of English Language Compulsory

II. s. Bogardus, Wallace, N. NJ, thinks
that Congress should pass a general law
requiring the use of the English language
in public schools in all our Territories and
possessions, and forbid the expenditure of
any public money for teaching foreign Ian
guages in the primary grades. All school
superintendents should be required to be
able to read, write and speak English, and
the same should be demanded of all mem
bers of Territorial or State Legislatures,
and the proceedings of such should be in
English. He also wishes that the com
rades urge upon Congress the purchase
of all surplus public land grants in
New Mexico and the opening of the same
to settlement. This would open up to
homemakers large quantities of the very
best land in the Territory.

termination to stick to his duty and save

COMPENDIUM.
On the hillside the Color .Corporals
gathered about the Sergeant, encouraging
him and each other with promises to stand
together. Our orders were to reserve our
fire, run rapidly to the works, fire and use
the bayonet. Upon reaching the brow of
the hill we found ourselves in a broad
path leading up from the spring, and run
ming up the crest of the ridge, nearly
straight to the works. The fallen trees
and brush on both fanks caused the men
to crowd into the path. Looking up to
