Second Battle of Manassas.

Editor National Tribune: In his ref
erence to the fight at the railroad cut
in the second battle of Manassas, Gen.
Hood asserts that $50 desperate was the
assault of Pope, and so fixed the deter
mination of the commander or some of
his officers to force the troops to fight,
that line was apparently stationed In
the rear to fire upon "those who, i'm
PEELED by fear, might attempt to escape
from the battlefield" I take it that
this is a reference to the charge of
Growers Brigade of Hooker's Division
(HoOker's old brigade) made on the
railroad cut. I was a member of this
brigade and in the charge, and If there
was any such firing line as Gen. Hood
refers to In existence, it Is certain that
no member of our brigade knew of It
at the time, or have heard of it since.
There was no need of any such compul-
sion to do our duty; never was in the
history of Eooker's old brigade. The
boys, less than $500 of them, moved
forward with will at the word of COM
mand In the face of vastly superior
force, driving the first line of the enc
my, and falling back only when both
of our flanks were enveloped and re-
treat or capture was imminent. 1t will
not be necessary for me to state that
we fell back with all the precipitancy
the occasion seemed to call for, and
dislike losing our company, for quite
force of them followed us to the edge
of the wood. I can even now almost
hear the Forward! Forward! For
ward!" of their officers urging them on.
Again, Gen. Hood speaks of the battle
of Fredericksburg being fought Jan. ~.
1853. This is an error; 1t was fought
just one year and one month earlier on

my diary to prove it as to time: 1t was
the morning of Aug. 13 that a little
stream of water was discovered running
down the path or within the dead line,
and it was about one-third of the dis
tance from the gate to the creek. The
spring-house now there is about so feet
below where the water came up out CT
the ground. Many a morning have l
sat in my hovel, trying to count the
string of men waiting their turn to get
water at the spout put there TO carry
the water over the dead line. I went
to see the old place at the dedication
of our monument, and it brought back
many sad memories as I stood on my
old place viewing the changes which
had been made How strangely old
scenes return by closing the eyes. They
all came back to me as stood on the

REMARKABLE PREDICTIONS
Almost beyond Belief-A Binghamton
Man Who is Said 10 Tell the Past and
Future with Remark able Accuracy.

Probably there are very few persons
who have not at some time or other
wished for the power to read the fu-
ture, to know that some business ven
ture would be successful, to tell ii
friends were faithful, to learn If jour-
ney should be taken, or, perhaps, most
often of all, to know If the one we loved
would say yes or no"
Even in the old Biblical times this
desire to know the future was present,
and the ancient astrologers were highly
regarded, for they foretold coming
events truly. In later days many Of the
worlds foremost men have planned
laid out for them by the stars. To-day
even those who deny the truth OF AS
troIogy feel way down in their hearts
that there is something in It, for nearly
everyone has some remarkable episode
to tell Of journey, an illness, busi-
ness venture or love affair that was
foretold by an Astrologer.
No Astrologer of the present day is
more widely known than Prof. Edison,
of Binghamton, N. Y, and in investi-
CATION to learn the truth or falsity of
the claims put forth for Astrology one
should naturally go to this head center
If 1t were necessary to prove the gen.
uineness of his claims, Prof. Edison
could show an interesting batch of cor
IcSpOhucuCe. LII HIS OiilCe "OulQ De
found file after file of letters from those
who had asked Prof. Edison's advice
and predictions for their future. And
in almost every instance these letters
say that what he had foretold had come
true. In one instance a letter would
say that the legacy he had foretold had
been received; in another that the bust
ness entered into on his advice had
been successful: in a third that. as
result of his careful reading of their
stars and planets, they had married
happily.
Prof. Edison says that the best way
to prove the truth of Astrology as prac-
ticed by him is to give a reading to
anyone who will write to him. He holds
this offer open for ten days. He requests
that date and place of birth be stated,
also whether married or single, and
that a stamp be enclosed for return
postage.
In return Prof. Edison will send a
prediction absolutely free, which will
show in each case what truth there is
in Astrology. 1t is an unusual oppor-
tunity to verify the claims of this
science without a cent of expense.
When writing Prof. Edison, please be
sure to give your full name and the day,
month and year of your birth, your sex,
and whether married or single. Also
send him two-cent stamp for return
postage.

THE PETERSBURG CRATER.
The Brave Sergeant Who Entered tn
Mine-Causes of the Failure.

hInC--ou1cB
Editor National Tribune: In your
issue Of June 81 Samuel P. Davis, 45th
Pa, asked the following questions:
who was the soldier who volun-
teered to go into the mine at Peters,
burg, Va. (morning, July 80, 1860, and
learn the cause of the failure Of the
mine to explode? How close did he go
to the powder? How far away was the
shock felt? What regiment was in the
lead to charge into the rebel works 2"
] think 1 can answer his questions
correctly. being in the front rank at
the moment of the explosion, and in
the rebel lines for eight hours there
after.
To his first question I would say:
Serg't Henry Rees, of the 48th Pa,
entered the mine, and found that the
fuse had died out at the first splicing.
He cut the fuse above the charred por-
ton. On his way out for material he
met Lieut.. Jacob Douty, who assisted In
making a fresh splice, which was
success.
Nearly two hours was consumed in
making the repairs. If the fort had
been exploded at $40 a. m, as original
ly intended, 1t would have been more
of surprise to the enemy. The troops
charge did not know the fuse had gone
out. Being upon their feet all night
without sleep, 1t was a trying ordeal.
Not being informed as to the failure, or
notified to be in readiness after the
splicing of the fuse, the advanced
troops were reclining in various posi-
tions from exhaustion. The writer of
this article had his gun between his
legs, the butt end resting on the ground,

How Soldiers May Secure Farms In the
Flathead Reservation.

Mr.. Harvey T. Heating, Registration
Agent for Soldiers at Government land
openings, has established his main
office in Columbus, Ohio, on the fifth
floor OF the Board of Trade Building,
for the purpose of registering soldiers
at the Flathead Indian Reservation
opening.
The Flathead country on the Pacific
Slope Region of Western Montana, near
the Washington State line, is regarded
as one of the richest of the few remain
ing Indian Reservations to be given to
the public.
Under the statutes, honorably- dis
charged soldiers of the Civil, Spanish
and Philippine Wars, and widows of
such soldiers, have the privilege of fiji,
ing upon the Government lands by ap-
pointing an agent to act for them. This
privilege is extended to them by the
Government at the land drawings,
where they are permitted to register for
the drawing by means Of an agent.
Mr.. Keating will be able tG secure a
limited number of agents to register
soldiers for the Flathead drawing, and
is now receiving applications by mail.
