Losses Of Whites and blacks.

Editor National Tribune: VIII you
kindly answer the following questions
thru the columns of The National Trib-
une?
1. Who was in command of Fort Nc
Henry, near Baltimore. IN april, 1862
2. What was the relative loss Of the
white and black troops from disease
and wounds during the civil war? I
think L have read somewhere that from
% to 80 per cent more blacks died of
wounds than whites and that from 20
to % per cent more blacks died of
disease than whites. Am I correct?-
G. d. Jackson, AID ILL.,, Cambridge. Ill.
1. Fort McHenry was commanded by
w. W. Morris. Major, 4th U. s. Art.
He was born in New York, graduated
from West Point in the class of 1890.
served against the Indians and Mexi-
cans, receiving a brevet of Major, and
was assigned to the command of Fort
McHenry May 1, 1861. He was Erevet>
ted a Brigadier-General and Major~
General, and died at Fort McHenry Dec
II. 1866, at the age of 81.
2. Col Fox gives the percentage of the
white volunteers. not including the
deaths in prisons, at s per cent, of the
Regulars 3.S per cent and of the colored
troops 16.5 per cent This would make
the percentage of death among the COLI
ored troops more than doubls that
among the white troops.-Editor Ma

GEN. HAWLEY.
A High-Minded. Honorable Man as We
Us a Gallant Soldier.

Editor National Tribune: In the re-
cent edition of your paper l read with
interest your article in reference tC
granting a pension to the widow of
Gen. Hawley. No man could do more
or make greater sacrifices than he did.
l enlisted in his company on the 18th
day of April, 1861, and well remember
the fatherly care he exercised over
those who were in his command. When
we were in New Haven, where the regi-
ment was formed, the company being
over-enlisted, little Bob Rogers and
myself being the smallest boys. were
tainted by the larger ones that We
could not go. At night we both went
TO the Captains tent, and stated our
fears, that we wanted to go with him,
etc. Placing a hand upon each of our
shoulders. he said: "My boys, you shall
go with me. know who will be thrown
out" The next day we offered to bet
$40 that we would go with the COM
pany, altho I doubt il our combined
capital would have been one-tenth that
sum After the battle of Bull Run the
New York papers gave Capt. Hawley
the credit of having brought his COM
pany off the field in good order When
he was candidate for Senator the first
time friends of his in New York sent a
delegate to Hartford TO see If he would
allow them to spend a certain sum of
money to secure his election. He was
AT that time editor of the Hartford
Courant When , the subject was
preached to him he turned in his chair
and replied: Of, the position of
editor of this paper is an honorable
one. Rather than buy my way into the
Senate l would choose to stay here. Not
one penny shall be spent with my con-
sent"
How many of the men who refused
to give his widow a pension would
have done the same? Not that l wish
to cast any reflections upon that honor
able body, but was it not great
temptation? Did he not have moral
courage equal to the physical courage
shown upon many well-contested
field? Other widows of soldiers wealth.
Ter than Gen. Hawley have been grant.
ed a pension. and no one begrudges
them the pittance. Their husbands
earned it upon the field of battle. Let
the children of this brave and good
man come back under the flag their
father fought for and loved, and let the
Nation provide literally for their edu-
cation, and thus pay back in part that
for which their father gave more than
80 years of his life to defend and bet
ter the conditions of this country.-S.

This Little Bronze Burton.

(By P. C. Hayes, Joliet, IlL)
This little bronze button we soldiers
prize so
Was made from the cannon we took
from the foe,
When fighting for Union in deadly af-
fray
1.-The Blue" won a victory over "the
Gray"
1t seems but a trifle, yet ever with
pride
Well cherish it fondly, whatever be-
tide;
While it has little value when measured
in gold.
AS badge of high valor its price can't
be told
This little bronze button, this valor-
won button,
This Grand Army button, lis price can't
be told.
If this button could speak proud
story 'twould tell
Of heroes who battled both bravely and
we'll;
OF the courage they showed, armed
with Loyalty's might,
When they met the proud foe in the
thick of the fight.
1t would tell of privations and hard
ships severe,
Or danger and Qeath tnat were laced
without fear,
OF heartacheS and agonieS borne by
the brave
When they labOred and struggled the
Union to save
This little bronze button, this blood
hallGwed button,
This Grand Army button is the badge
of the brave.
No one wears this button save only the
true
Who fought for the Union and honored
1.-THE Blue"
And to these tbs an emblem of Fra
ternity,
Enduring and sacred while this life
shall be;
OF Charity such as the brave only know
For the comrades who with them have
faced a proud foe;
And of Loyalty which, thru wars ter
rible hell,
Led them bravely to battle, tho hosts
of them fell
This little bronze button, this true
comrade button,
This Grand Army button emblems F.,
c. and L.
This button, tho small, yet contains in
itself
What cannot be bought with CONT
nents wealth,
For it symbols a love that led thou
sands to give
Their blood and their life that the Na-
ton might live.
And so, day by day, we will prize it the
more
AS the years bear us on toward Eter-
nity's shore,
While Joined in comradeship loyal
and rare,
This little bronze button We'll evermore
This little bronze button, this glory
crowned button,
This Grand Army button we'll ever
more wear.

E. R. Kennedy, Co. II, 9Th Ind, Luds

Comrade Blackburn's article and mo-
ton for the G. A. R. to put up monu-
ment to Abraham Lincoln. He is will
ing to subscribe $40 to help it along.
and also suggests that each Department
EEcampment at their next meeting tako
this matter up, and appoint committee
to interview the old boys and talk the
matter over with them. He thinks the
money can be raised, and that the mon
ument must go up, and he thinks the
best place for it would be as near
Washington as possible.

Should Not Impair Credits.

But the interests of those who build,
who manage, and who invest in the
railroads must be no less scrupulously
guarded than the interests of the pub
lie. 1t is urgently necessary at the
present time in order to relieve the tx
isting congestion of business and to do
away with the paralysis which threat
ems our expanding industries because
of limited and inefficient means of dis
tribution that our railway facilities
should be so increased as to meet RE
imperative demands of our internal
commerce. The want can be met only
by private capital, and the vast expenI-
iture necessary for such purpose VIII
not be incurred unless private capital
is afforded reasonable incentive and
protection. 1t is therefore a prime ne
cessity to allow investments in railway
properties to earn a liberal return, a
return sufficiently liberal to cover all
risks. We cannot get an improved
service unless the carriers of the coun-
try can sell their securities; and there
fore nothing should be done unwar-
rantedly to impair their credit or to
decrease the value of their outstanding
obligations.
