On the 25th of June Birge was ordered
to divide his column into two battalions.
and to drill Ii for its work. On the 28th
this organization was complete. The
battaliOns were then composed OF eight
companies, but two companies were
afterwards added to the first battalion.
To Lieut.-Col. Van Petten, of the 160th

first battalion. and to Lieut.-Coi. Bick-
more. OF the 14th Me-, that Of the sec
ond battalion. On that day 81 of the
officers and 826 men-in all, 893-were
present for duty in the camp OF the
stormers. Among those that volunteered
for the forlorn hope but were not ac-
cepted were 54 non-c0mmissiOned OFF,

A GREAT QUARTERMASTER.
Gen. Robert Aen Who Supplied Gems Grant Shermans Armies
With Others in the West.

From Men and Things l I'm Civil War Davs ;,

nessee and the Cumberland, that result
ed soon in the fall of Forts Henry and
Doneison. The thrilling effects of these
great victories history will never forget,
appalled, as we were by the dreary in
action or sickening disasters of our
armies elsewhere. In these important
movements, Allen (now full Colone)
shared largely. 1t will be noted that
these movements were entirely by wa
ter, so that in addition to the general
outfit and supply of the troops-no
small job then-he had also 10 provide
river transportation for about every
thing. When it is recollected that our
forces thus equipped and moved were
at least double the number of our total
old Regular Army, it will be seen that
his task was no easy one for that period
of the war How great 1t was then, il
Is now hard to comprehend.
We had four years of huge expert
ence In war matters after that, during
which our Quartermaster's Department
was educated up, from its former petty
work, to the supplying and moving of a
million Of men. But then (February,
1862 everything was new and cranky.
Our lines of supply even had not yet
been determined. Our resources were
unknown; our contractors still untried.
The National tribune., 1906-02-08

In the previous chapters I have sew
eral times alluded to the importance
OF the Quartermaster's Department
This is the Department that supplies
quarters. barracks, storehouses, hospi-
tails, clothing, camp and garrison equi-
page, horses, mules harness, wagons,
ambulances, forage. transportation gen.
orally, and the thousand and one other
things wherein the other Departments
fail or fall short. In short, this is the
great business Department of an army,
as distinguished from it's mere fighting
department, and one is essential to the
other.
A good Quartermaster is expected to
be sufficient unto himself" and to
make good the deficiencies of every
body else. l think it safe to say, were
the secret history Of our great cam
paigns in the civil war known, no great
commander on either side succeeded
without good Quartermaster. In
marked instances they themselves had
previously been Quartermasters-as
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Joe John
ston and others.

Affairs In Cincinnati Resumed.

Cincinnati. March 3.-The Drake
senate committee investigating munic.
ipal and county affairs in this city,
Friday morning resumed the taking Of
testimony whore II left off when II ad,
journed last Friday afternoon.
The first testimony was confined to
further statements OF bank officials as
TO the payment OF interest or gratui.
ties to the treasurer's ofice AZ q rec.
ognition Of the deposit of checks for
collection.
Several bankers testified that their
banks had paid from 2 TO 2la per cent.
interest on county deposits, the money
being handed over TO some represen.
tatlye Of the treasurer's office.
At the opening Of the session Attor
ney Roettinger addressed the commit
tee on laws covering the deposit OF
county funds. He said that the i'm.
preston which had been circulated
that there was no law on the subject
was entirely incorrect, as there was q
law providing for the selection of pub.
iic repositories, and under that law
Cuyahoga county during the past six
years has received 1867, 7,574 In interest
for use Of county funds under the pres

the treasurer and auditor by prompt
reports could keep the county funds In
circulation.
