A Spirit Of Comradeship.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the is
sue of April IA, you give a short history
of the SD Pa, which, to me, is very in
teresting, as l was a member of that regi-
ment for three years, having enlisted at
Erie, Pa, in September, 1861, being mus
tered out in front of Petersburg in 1864;
or, perhaps l should have said, sent to
Harrisburg, Pa, for muster out and dis
charge. / shall not attempt to add any
thing to what you have said in regard
to the personnel Of the regiment, because
if l did l should have to name nearly the
entire muster roll.
l am very much pleased with the notice
and space that you have given the 44th
n. Y, and hope to see the same accorded
to the 10Th Mich, and the Goth Me-, as
believe they are severalIy entitled to If.
From physical and financial causes |
have been unable to attend but two Re-
unions of the SD Pa, one in Warren. Pa.
and one in Buffalo, N. Y, so that l have
very limited knowledge of the members
and residence of those who are left. /
shall be very much pleased to correspond
with any member of the regiment, especi-
ally of Co. ID. / am much interested in
the history of the Campaigns of tho
Army OF the Potomac" We can't snare

The National Tribune family; so keen

An Excellaut Annual Address.

The annual address of Comrade Isaac
l.. Mahan, Commander of the Depart
ment of Minnesota, G. A. r., is q docu-
ment of unusual ability, and makes an ad-
mirable review of the affairs of the De-
partment for the year during which Com,
rade Mahan has administered them. The
Department is admonished that it has not
subscribed to the Stephenson Memorial
as it should have done, though it has given
literally to the Kansas food sufferers, and
other worthy objects. The Woman's Re
lief Corps, Sons of Veterans, and Ladies
OF the g. 4. X. are complimented on their
good work, and the Commander recon-
mends providing cottages for war veter-
ans and their wives; constitutional
amendment exempting from taxation all
veterans of the civil war of at least $500;
the provision of free medical attention and
medicine to veterans and their families; the
furnishing in all public schools Of book
OF patriotic instructions; and the encOur-
agement of all school children to write
essays on the war. He also recommends
that provision be made for compiling a
correct and true roster Of the veterans of
the State; for an appropriation to erect
monuments to the Minnesota regiments ut
VIcksburg; for more energetic effort for
the q. A. X. Pension Bill; for an appro-
pirate provision for Col. William Colville,
of the LIST MIMI, and for the widow of
DIR. VIM. II. Morton, Surgeon of the same
regiment.

The 32d Ill.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | saw an
editorial note regarding the 32d Ill. in a
late issue of The National Tribune in
which you state the regiments loss as
eight officers and 80 men killed or died OF
wounds, and 1913 men died of disease or in
prisons. You do not state how many
were wounded. Col. Pugh, who was ouI
brigade commander. just after the battle
says the 32d had 3S killed, 154 wounded
and 33 missing.
1t is a fact that the 32d had 6S mer
killed or died of wounds within few
days. and that, in addition to the reported
wounded. we must add 33 missing, who
were also wounded. The 32d. very small
regiment. had 5S per cent. of its effectives
shot at Shiloh. 1t was in Pugh's Brigade
and fought at the line at the open field
with the Sd Iowa and 2Sth H.. and with
pieces of artillery repealed 4 strong rebe
force that attempted to force us back by
massing heavily in our front. The 32d did
not 20 to the left to aid the 9th Ill. until
we destroyed this force at the Peach Or
chard. Pugh's Brigade lost the heaviest
of any brigade at Shiloh, and the 32d Ill
lost more men than any other regiment in
the brigade. The 32d had for Division
Commanders Hurlbut, Lauman. Croker
Gresham. and Giles A. Smith. The pro
portion Of its losses killed to wounded are
about five to six, SO you will readily see
that there has been a great mistake by
some one in not reporting more wounded
in the 32d.-J. r. PALMER, Normal, Ill.

Commission held in Lansing, March %,
Memorial Day, May 80, 1904, was selected
as the date, and Mrs. Gov. Bliss was
named as the lady to unvail the monument.
A subsequent bill was introduced and
passed by the Michigan Legislature of
1923, ITO provide for the dedication of
the monument to be erected at Anderson
vile, Ga, in memory of the 700 Michigan
soldiers who died there" This measure
provides that the Governor and his Mill
tary Staff, the President of the Senate,
the Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives. and a committee Of three from the
Senate and six from the House to be ap-
pointed by the President of the Senate and
Speaker of the House, respectively, are
hereby directed to represent the people of
the State of Michigan, and they are au-
thorized to accept in the name of the
State the monument, etc., and to partici-
pate in the dedicatory exercises.
The party will leave Detroit by special
train from Michigan Central Depot at II
o'clock. noon, Saturday. May %, and any
interested in this ceremony are cordially
invited to accompany the party.
Stops ell route will be made to visit
Nashville. Chattanooga, Chickamauga
Park, and Atlanta. and the route of the
train will afford view of the old battle
fields on the line of Gen. Sherman's ia
nous march to the sea. Meals have been

| try, and leaders rose up among the people
preaching the "Freiheits Kreig"-"War
for Freedom'-and the whole people rose
to expel the French tyrants.
1t may be that Russia is on the eve of
just such a civil CONFUSION. but it hardly
seems likely, since there is nowhere in
Russia such proportion of the strong
virile middle class which is the salvation
of any country. Russia, like all Slavic
countries, has only two classes, the nobil-
ity, and the poor ignorant masses-thc
lately enfranchised serfs. This is what
proved the ruin OF the greatest Slavic
country but Russia-Poland. There was
| only the corrupt, unutterably selfish aris-
| tOcracy and the completely abject peas
antry.
Russia would be on the eve of French
Revolution had she any middle class to
precipitate such movement. The war
party among the nobility of Russia has
| acted precisely as the war party In France
did in the reigns Of Louis XIV, XIV, XVI
| when they brought about foreign troubles
| in order TO distract attention from the in
capacity and misgovernment at home, and
| which resulted in demonstrating their in
| competence so strongly to everybody as to
| breed the storm which inallS overwhelmed
| them. The Russian msmanagement of
| the war so far is probably no worse than
that OF Madame de Pompadour's gener-
alcy under the reign Of Louis XIV.

Ready Wit.
I.iDnincOtt'S)

1t may seem rather trite to go back to
civil war times for a story, but all the
tales of that memorable time have not
been told, and as this one was a personal
experience Of relative of mine l can
| vOuch for it. l have never seen it in
print nor heard any one else tell it.
My uncle, Maj. Thomas Ridgely. was a
Surgeon attached to Gen. Grants staff.
1t was after the surrender of Vicksburg.
The Union forces had entered the city and
much merrymakine and entertaining were
going on. One night a dinner was in
progress at which many Northern officers
and Il large number of Southern ladies
were present. Many toasts had been pro-
posed and drunk, all of them practically in
honor of the successes of the Union army
and the men responsible for them.
Finally one of the Southern ladies, a
great beauty and noted for her intense par
tisan feeling for the South arose and said:
"Gentlemen, may propose a toast?'
With natural gallantry and a little trep-
idation the ranking officer said: Ger
tainly."
well, then, gentlemen. I give you.
The Southern COnfederacy.'" IT,.
1t was an embarrassing situation. But
with hardly a moments hesitation one of
the Northern officers relieved the tension.
Down with it, gentlemen" he cried !;
and the glasses were drained without en-
barrassment and without disloyalty.
