senator, Aidrich In the Army.

Editor National Tribune: In your es-
timable paper of June 21 you publish
an article on the editorial page entitled
Soldiers Coming to Their Own Again."
in which you give the names of MEM
bers of the United States Senate "who
served their country in the war of the
rebellion" in which list 1 fail to find
the name Of the Hon. Nelson w. Aid
rich, the senior Senator from Rhode
Island. The Adjutant-General's Report
of Rhode Island for 1865 says:
"On the 25th of May. 1862. at mid
night. a dispatch was received by Gov.
Sprague, announcing that the enemy in
great force were marching on Washing
ton, and calling for every available man
to rally in its defense. Just an hour
later the Governor issued an order for
two regiments of infantry and a battery
of artillery for immediate service The
response was prompt and the ranks
were quickly filled, marching orders
were given and the 10th r. l. reported
for duty at the Capital on the 29th of
May"
Although the 10th R. I. was short
term regiment, its service was a credit
to the State and the country, and the
record shows that Nelson w. Aldrich,
at the age of %, was enrolled at Provi-
dence, May rs. 1862, as a private in Co.

SCHURZ AND McARTHUR.
Two whoIe-souIed Americans.

Editor National Tribune: There haS,
lately passed away two grand characters
of the civil war / refer to Carl Schurz
and Gen. Macarthur. Carl Schurz was
a man of strong mind and great inde-
pendence of thought and action. Com
ing from Germany, he became an Amer
lean in the true sense of the term, with
the German vigor and strength to help
him on. His early life gave him small
opportunity to get up in the world, yet
he arose superior to all obstacles and
carved out his great destiny. He was
not hampered by the opinions and Ideas
of those with whom he was associated.
but took matters in his own hands.
thought and acted on the strength of
his own personal convictions. Like the
immortal Garfield. he was a scholar,
statesman and soldier, rising above
every obstacle and hewfng his way to
fame and glory. No foreign country
could have given him the golden op-
portunity that he found on our shores
His influence over his German COM
peers was great, and no doubt did much
to Americanize them. We owe Ger
many debt for giving birth to such
man.
Gen. John Macarthur was Scotch
man, but, like Carl Schurz, became
whole-souled American and infused his
strong, honest Scotch strength of char
see his noble figure yet as he role
along the line of our division, wearing
Scotch cap and giving cordial greet
ing to every line officer as he passed.
He was the true soldier. Had the war
lasted longer he would have arisen
much higher than division command
er. Wher the war ended he sheathed
his sword and steadfastly pursued the
vocations of peace. and an intimate per-
sonal acquaintance informed me that he
was a man in business affairs of strong
character and honesty.
l love to lay these tributes on the
graves of these two comrades of the
civil war. Our lines are becoming more
ragged and broken and the breaches in
them are becoming wider. Where is
the long line that stood almost ''shoul-
der to shoulder, elbows touching in
April, 1865? All, the Death Angel has
been passing swiftly along the rear Of
the line. tapping one and another on
the shoulder and saying, 1T is time for

to Grants army. Second Corps. First
Division, Fourth Brigade, leaving
Brandy Station, Va. May 1864, and was
in active service at the Wilderness, Cold
Harbor and Spotsylvania. I was cap

prisoners moved from these points to
Salisbury. n. c., 4,54S were starved, shot
down and died of disease resulting from
improper treatment, insanitary condf-

In January, 1865. the Southern Con-
federacy sent recruiting officers into the

bright and shining illustration of mans
inhumanity to man.. Dennis Dee
