California and Oregon in the War.

Editor National Tribune: Please give
a short account thru the columns OF
The National Tribune of the part taken
by the States of California and Oregon
in the civil war, stating the number
of regiments furnished by each; also
the names of some prominent officers
from those States.-Arthur L. Reat
Greencastle, Ind.
California raised for the Union army
two regiments and four companies of
cavalry and nine regiments of infantry,
making a total Of II regiments and
four companies. Several of these regi-
ments performed valuable service in
what was known as the California col
umn, which marched over the noun
tains to attack the extreme left Of the
Confederate line of battle in New Mex
leo and Arizona.
Oregon raised one regiment Of IN
fantry and one of cavalry for the war
California stands credited with 1925
enlistments and Oregon with 1910
There were number of distinguished
men who hailed from those States. but
necessarily, as their residence on the
coast had been brief, they became more
identified in the public mind with the
States from which they had migrated
Senator Baker, who commanded reg
iment largely made up of men who had
been in California, was the most promi.
inent man from Oregon Most OF the
Regular officers had seen service or
the Pacific Coast. and considered them
selves Californians. The most promi.
nent of these was Gen. H w. Halleck

WidOwn' Pensions.

E. r. Reed, I'd Wis, Madison, Wis,
replies to some of the structures against
second wives by saying that he knew a
young widow with considerable money
to marry a helpless crippled soldier,
away back in the '70s. Her friends
were indignant, and asked her why she
did so. She replied to these impudent
questions: HE went to the front, gave
his life for his country, and now comes
home in this condition. He needs
somebody to take care of him, and it
is the duty of some one to do that
knew if I did not do it nobody would
do it. I therefore went TO him and

The Yankee Method the Best.

Henry Baker, Co. c, 9th Pa. Re-
serves, Sewickley, Pa, sends an anus
ing story of Yankee methods of treat
ing during the war. In June, 1863, he
was encamped on Capitol Hill, Wash
ington, and one day he and four men,
bers of his company procured pass
to see the sights. They went into a
saloon, and found there two soldiers,
who said they belonged to the 14th
N. H. After exchanging greetings, one
of the New Hampshire boys proposed
drink, which met with appreciation,
and drinks were ordered. When the
time came to pay for them the New
Hampshire boys put their hands in
their pockets and paid for theirs, fore
ing the Pennsylvania boys to do the
same Comrade Baker says he and
his comrades were a good deal sur
prised and amused at this, it being
quite contrary to their way of treating.
but came to the conclusion that the
Yankee way was the best way after
all, tending decidedly to saDriety After
that one drink the whole party left the
saloon, But had the New Hampshire
boy paid for the drinks each one in
turn would have treated the crowd,
with the result that all would have
had too much, and very likely ended
the day in the guard house or, worse
still, in prison.

A Great State.

Eli Newsom, Earlham, N. M, who
has wandered around from State to
State to find climate to agree with
his health, writes most enthusiastically
of his new home in New Mexico. Earl
ham is % miles north of Ell Paso, Tex.
and is about the center of the Mesilla
Valley. This valley. which is 40 miles
long and from three, to five wide, and
which will be watered under the Gov
eminent reclamation act is unsur-
passed for fertility, producing fruits,
grains and vegetables in abundance.
Earlham is a station with depot, ex-
press office, telegraph and telephone
facilities, and Comrade Newsom invites
his veteran friends to join him there
in the building UP of a model Post and
Corps and to assist In making New
Mexico a loyal progressive and leading
State, such as its numerous resources
developed and otherwise entitle 1t to
be.

fight as Orderly-Sergeant of Co. K, 9Th
Kan. S. NJ. The fight was on Sunday,
Oct. 20, 1864. They had another fight
in Linn County, and still another where
the town of Pleasanton now stands.
Thomas Moonlight, in command of the
18th Kan. Cav, did some fine strategy.
He kept going a great number of fires
on the Little Sugar Creek, as tho there
was a large body of troops encamped
there, and then moved the regiment to
the east side of the city, where the
Johnnies were able to see it. This made
them believe that there was a large
Union force in their neighborhood, and
that Moonlight was trying to draw them
into a trap.

In Oklahoma.

George W. Williams, Dover, Okla.
says that he served in the Saith ILL.,, and
was with the regiment in every march
II made, and he naturally thinks it was
the best regiment in the service. He
is in favor of the Sherwood bill. The
Oklahoma Legislature is now in session,
and a hungrier set of pie-eaters never
got together. They have introduced in
both Houses a bill to pension the rebel
soldiers of the State $40 per month, and
1t looks as if certain TO become law.
If so, it will make Oklahoma a dump
ing ground for all the eX-rebels, and
practically bankrupt the State. The
Republican delegation from Oklahoma
will probably instruct for Taft, but per-
sonally he is for Cannon and Hughes.
His Claims.
e. s. Vernon, 18Th Ohio, Corning.
Kan, says that he did not put down
the rebellion, nor did he belong to one
of the so-called 800 fighting regiments,
but he did belong to the Third Division,
Seventeenth Corps, Army of the Ten
nessee, and thinks that is honor enough.
The Army of the Tennessee furnish ed
the country such Generals as Grant.
Sherman, Mcpherson and Logan, and
the Third Division had two command
ers, of which it was justly proud-first,
Gen. Logan and then Gen. Leggett. The
reason that the Seventeenth Corps did
not have many of FoX's fighting regi-
ments in it was because it was always
well handled, and achieved its successes
without the slaughter that attended the
mismanagement of men. The fighting

The 68th III.
John D. Sanders, 66th ILL.,, Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan, was delighted to see
one of his Ole regiment sharpshooting
in The National Tribune. 1t is very
pleasant to know that all of the old
regiment are not dead. 1t demonstrated
its value on many occasions, and while
on the campaign from Chattanooga Joe
Johnston found that he could not get
enough rebels in front of the regiment
to whip It. This was largely because
1t was armed with Henry repeating
rites, and quite as important was the
fact that the men knew how to shoot
them, most of them having been good
shots before they enlisted Men do not
have to serve in the Regular Army in
time of peace to make good soldiers
in time of war, but these can be found
among the American boys outside the
army.
Youngest Cavalryman.
Marcellus Goddard, Camden, Me-,
thinks that he was one of the youngest
cavalrymen in the army who actually
carried a carbine. He served in the
18th Ill. Cav, and would like to hear
from some of the boys who We're at
that time like himself, between IA and
Is years old.
Pensions.
W. z. Hamilton, Co G, Sth Mich, st.
Johns, Mich, is sure that many veterans
who only get s12 under the age provi-
sion are as much disabled from their
service as those who lost an arm or
leg and are receiving, quite justly, from
$40 to $55.
Sherwood Bill.
s. A. Ritz, f6th Ind, Bauxite, Ark,
strongly approves of The National Trib-
une, and wants to see the Sherwood bill
passed.

she. Il have enough to take care of
u.s. for awhile at least" They both still
live, and she has devoted her entire
life to him. She married him out of
pure patriotism, and God has rewarded
her for it, for her wealth has increased
instead Of diminished.
Martin o. Holston, Chicago Dragons,
Spokane, Wash, protests against Off
GERS widows being pensioned higher
than those of the private soldiers. The
officers got big wages, and it does not
take any more to feed an officers widow
than a privates. The rate of pensions
should be the same.
John Zeigler, Olsburg, Kan. strong
ly urges a pension of s12 a month to
all widows, whether they be first or
second wives. A soldiers wife is his
own selection, and the Pension Bureau
has no right to dictate to him, and the
woman who cares for him in his old
age deserves as much as the girl he
married in his youth.
