PICKET SHOTS
From Alert comrade. Alou, til. Whole
The Rurninr of Columbia.
Line.

L. w. Armstrong, 10th Ill, Randolph,
Iowa, says that even Gen. sherman,
who engineered the whole job, made a
mistake in his Memoirs when he sald
that none of the Seventeenth Corps en-
tered Columbia, but crossed to the
winnsboro road on the pontoon bridge
at Broad River, about four miles above
the city. Comrade Armstrong says that
he is positive that the First DIVISION
of the Seventeenth Corps, or at least
the Third Brigade of this division, pass
ed thru Columbia and saw the fire. He
helped to work a fire engine and to
save property that was afterward de-
stroyed. Gen. Sherman was right when
he stated that some of the business
streets had cotton bales piled high up
and set on fire. This was done by order
Of Wade Hampton.
killing of Gen. A. p. Hill.
w Wilkins, 4Sth Pa, Kane, Pa, says
the stories as to the death of Gen. A. P.
Hill, April 2, 1865, do not appeal TO him.
Gen. Hill was not killed in the early
morning, but later in the day, while
leading reinforcements to recapture
Fort Malone. No one can tell who shot
Hill, as thousands of men were then
firing in that direction. There was no
need of accommodating, for everyone
knew just where TIE Johnnies were.
Salisbury and AndersOnville.
Stephen Bridge, 57th N. Y, 2O7 w.
seth St, New York City, is dissatisfied
that so much more is said about An
Jacksonville than about Salisbury. He
is sure that the conditions were even
worse in the latter place. Anderson
vile existed one year and parts of 9TH
ers and contained 5000 men, of whom
$4,000 lie buried there. Salisbury ex
listed only four monthS-that is, from
Oct. Z, 1864, until Feb. %, 1S65-and
there are 10000 graves in the GENE
terry.
The Charge On Marye's flights.
Gilbert Thompson, U. S. Engineers,
Washington, D. c., wants us to remem-
Der that the blue coats charged on
Marye's flights seven times, and came
back the last time singing the Doxology.
Pickett's charge at Gettysburg was but
one attempt, and they went back from
it unable to do anything, least of all
sing.
The Wfrz Statue.
John Buford Post, Rock Island, ILL.,,
has adopted strong resolutions denun-
ciatory of the Wirz Statue. These were
prepared by Comrades Henry C. First
and William McConochie, who both hal
experience in Andersonville.
Ex-Prisoners of War.
W. P. Britain, 9th Iowa. Cav, Mar
tinsburg, Iowa, thinks that the bill for
the benefit of the ex-prisoners is too
one-sided. 1t does not take into con-
sideration other deserving prisoners.
For example, he was captured by a

to travel, and then turned them loose

Widows Pensions.

John H. Mulder, 18th Ky. Cav and
I'd KY. Cav, Mount Vernon, Mo, wants
all widows of veterans pensioned at ST.
month, and all veterans should be
placed on the pension roll at the same
rate when they reach 60, with a raise
of IS month every five years.
c. Whitmore, 9th Mich, Yountville,
Cal, favors at least s12 month to all
widows, no matter when married. He
married his present wife Aug. 2S, 1898,
and she would be disbarred. If ever a
woman was entitled to a pension it is
she. for she has stood by him nobly ever
since marriage, and is now So years
old. He cannot bear to think of her be-
ing left helpless. He is not kicking on
his own account, tho he only gets $12
wife and the wives of thousands of 9TH
ers just as meritoriOus. He would like
to hear from any of his comrades.
Mrs. T. c. Williams, Cambridge, Ill,
wonders that any veterans have any
health at all who had such terrific SER
vice as was demanded of them, espe-
cially those who went up Red River
under the gallant A. J. Smith. She
speaks, however, more for the women,
who while their husbands We're doing
this were at home trying to keep the
wolf from the door on $13 a month
when they had to pay $40 a barrel for
flour and 81 a pound for coffee and
other household supplies in proportion.
Calico, which now is sold for five cents
yard, then cost so cents. This was
nothing, however, to the constant ankle
ty of mind as to the fate of their hus-
bands. which made them fear to open
paper or a letter. This Congress
should not adjourn without making a
generous allowance to the widows.
Veterans and Widows.
William F. Crawford, 9th Ill. Cav,
Milan, ILL.,, is strongly in favor of Con-
gress passing bill giving the straight
| 81 day to veterans and s12 month
to widows, and reduce the expenses of
the administration of the Pension Blu
reau by such a reduction as this simpli-
fling will make. Nothing is too good
for the boys who saved this country,
and it is a late day to chatter and bar
gain with them and their widows.

Gems. Banks and Emory.
James A. McCafferty, 165th N. Y.
| Brooklyn, N Y, regards The National
| Tribune as the greatest friend and best
companion of the veterans, but he is
hurt at the criticisms that are made OF
officers now dead and gone, notably Gen
NJ p. Banks and his subordinate Gen.
erals, who did the very best that the!
could. They We're earnest, brave and
patriotic, and should receive credit for
It. He does not believe that any Cen
erals could have done better or more
skilful work than Banks and Emory did
under the circumstances. Much fun
has been poked at the Red River cam
paign. but little credit given for what
was done in the way of fighting and
winning victories. He feels that the
good old Nineteenth Corps, in which he
had the honor to serve from the begin
ming to the end, was made up of as
good material as any body of men that
upheld the glory and dignity of the
Stars and Stripes. II was unfortunate
in not having as many newspaper cor
respondents with it as some other
armies. Gen. Banks's soldiers loved and
admired him for his many good quail
ties.
Against Confederate Pensions.
T A Cooper, Oakland, Cal, who is
a native Georgian and served in Geor-
gia regiment under Stonewall Jackson,
enters an energetic protest against the
nonsense of the bill to pension Confed-
crate veterans. He is a poor man, yet
if a law giving Confederate pensions
would give him $1,000 a month he
would oppose it on the principle of JUS
tice. This Government cannot afford
to set precedent to pension its enc
mics. To do so would be to offer a
premium to demagogs and their deluded
followers to fight the Government, and
it would obliterate all distinction be-
tween supporting the Government and
trying to destroy it. The people who
are agitating this measure are real enc
mics to their section, precisely as are
those who are building Confederate
monuments, and especially to the fiend
WirZ. They made the jamestown EX-
position failure by their indecent
f1outing of the Confederate flag in the
sons to fight and die for National unity.
The Rebel Flag.
Curtis II. Tury, North Adams, Mass
believes that it is just as much treason
to display rebel flag now as it was
during the war, and it is disgrace to
the South to erect monument to such
a man as WirZ.

MISS HARPER WILL BE
SEEN IN "QUO VADIS.

"Quo Vadis," which will be present
ed at the New Oregon by the
Georgia Harper company during her
engagement here, was written by the
great Russian writer Henri Sien-
kiewicz, and the action of the play
is supposed to take place during the
reign of Nero, and furnishes scope
for a wider range of dramatic action
and incidents than any drama of its
kind. The story deals with the trial
of the Christians who for their be-
lief were prosecuted by Nero and his
followers.
Miss Harper as the character of
Lygia has a great scope for fine act
ing, and her support for this season
is of the best, having a number of
her old people with her that assures
a smooth performance. The man.
agement of Miss Harper has gone to
a great expense to feature this play
and will give a complete scenic pro-
duction.
The play is in seven acts all in set
tings historically correct which, to-
gether with pretty costumes, will
make this one of the best ever seen
on the local stage at these prices.
Other plays 10 be presented during
Miss Harper's engagement here will
be "Nell Gwynne," Lady of Quality
'Trilby" mysterious Mr.. Bugle,"
Little Minister" and a grand revival
of the great favorite Camille" in
which Miss Harper has no equal.
