rhe seventh Mlehlgan,. nsplolt.

The success of the brilliant move
across the river at Fredericksburg
makes a bright page in the annals of
the Seventh Michigan infantry. Con
federate sharpshooters lined the oppo-
site bank and impeded the work of
laying pontoon bridges, which had final
ly been abandoned. A call was made
for volunteers to cross and drive the
enemy out. Soldiers of the Seventh
rapidly across. jumped ashore and
drove the Confederates from the rifle
pits and from the houses. Two Massa-
thusetts regiments followed and aided
them in holding the position.

The Eighty-third Pennsylvania and the
Forty-fouYth New York were regarded
as twin regiments. Both served in
Butterfield's brigade, Morells division
of the Fifth corps. General Mcclellan
once publicly pronounced the Eighty
third zone Of the very best regiments
in the army" 1t encountered more
fighting and lost more men in battle
than any other Pennsylvania regiment,
but none of its losses was due to
blunders or disastrous routs.

Prominent among the two year regi-

Tenth, or National zouaves raised in
New York city. A working lodge of
Master Masons was organized within
this regiment. The meetings or com

at Fort Monroe and were attended
by many brethren from neighboring

raised thirty-four members. Not infre.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is not for us to rejoice in
or to fear. 1t may never come to us,
and if it comes its bringings may be
very different from our thought. Suffi-

and the good thereof. However trying
today may be it can be endured for to-
day, and tomorrow may be without
trials. However joyous may be today
tomorrow may be far better.-Sunday

FROM PRIVATE TO GENERAL
Brilliant Records of Two Surviving
Comrades of Maine Regiments.

Brilliant Records of Two Surviving
Comrades of Maine Regiments.
Several papers in speaking of the
seventy-sixth birthday of General
Frank G. Nickerson of Cambridge,
Mass, have said that he was the only
man now living in New England to
enter the army as private in the civil
war and come out as brigadier gen.
eral. Augusta has no intention of al
lowing such a misstatement to circu-
late uncorrected, for one of our most
distinguished citizens, Ex-Governor Sci
den Conner, can be credited with that
same splendid record.
He enlisted in April, 1861, as a pri-
vate in the ranks, saw the hardest
kind of active service, as his two
crutches eloquently testify, and after
winning rapid promotion by his gal
lantry in battle was commissioned
brigadier general by President Lincoln
in June, 1864, and it was as a brigadier
general that he was later mustered out.
Whether there are others now living
in New England who rose from private
10 DflSaulef general we 10 not KNOW,
but certainly the name of General Con.
nor is with that of General Nickerson
ON this roll of honor, which for the
whole country must be very short.
General Nickerson, by the way, is
also a Maine man, native of Swan
vile, in Waldo county, and he enlisted
as private in the Fourth Maine. He
was later colonel of the Fourteenth
Maine and became brigadier general
in November. 1862. His father was in
the war of 1912 and his grandfather an
officer in the Revolution. In recent
years he has been a resident of Massa-
chusetts. -Kennebec Journal.

The wounded flags! How proudly
They fluttered in the days
When drums were drumming loudly
And flies sang warning lays!
How brave was all their glowing
Where fierce the war guns spoke,
Their stars forever showing
A beacon through the smoke!
The wounded flags! We hail them
And reveI in each hue,
Though age and time may pale them
And red blend into blue.
Though all grow dark and duIler,
Yet in every part
We see the living color
That thrills the nations heart.
