VOLUNTEER OFFICERS.
Maine Volunteer Retired List Assn.
Wants Their Names.

John c. Cobb of 31ts Exchange
street. Portland. the secretary of the
Maine Volunteer Retired List Associa-
ton, asks the Journal to publish The
following letter:
Dear Comrades: The bill TO retire
all surviving volunteer officers who
served in the army. navy and marines
during the late Civil War is now be-
fore Congress. 1t has many friends,
both in the House and Senate. and is
receiving the vigorous support of ex-
officers in the army and citizens all
over this country. General Raum,
who has charge of the matter in Wash
ngton, writes me that the prospect Of
its passage at this session OF Congress
is very encouraging. One paragraph
from General Raum'S letter is of par
t,cular interest to each and every man
in Maine who held a commission in the
Union Army during the late Civil War.
1t is as follows:
We are now called upon to furnish
T,r the information Of the committees
a statement of the number of surviving
officers of the volunteer army, navy
and marines Of the Union, who are
eligible to the provisions of the bill
classified according to rank and age, to
enable those committees to make an
estimate Of the cost of the measure, 80
that the facts can be reported to the
two Houses of Congress-
1t is necessary for the said officers to
comply with the above literally. In
view of the fact that since the close of
the war cur ranks have been constantly
depleted until there are but COMPARE
lively few of us left, it is very difficult
to find and communicate with them.
The Adjutant Generals report from
I'll to 81 is of little value in this under
taking. Therefore, I shall ask all the
newspapers in this State TO publish this
letter as favor to the officers who are
living. whose gratitude will be their
only recompense. l hope by this meth
Cd to reach most of the surviving Off
GERS and l would request each ant:
every one OF them to write inc at once,
giving his name, residence, rank and
age, 50 that l can communicate with
him
A compliance with this request on
the part Of the newspaper press OF the
State will confer a great favor on
many deserving officers and many citi-
zens as we'll. and an immediate COM
pliance on the part Of such officers with
my request will hasten the accomplish
nent of this nleritoriOuS measure,
which lies very near to the heart of all.
1t will materially aid in giving YOU
without delay, tho honors which your
great services to your country 50 richly
merit, and perhaps relieve you for the
few remaining years that you have 10
