JUSTICE TO MCCLELLAN.
A Comparison With Gen. Grant-TOO Lit
tie Praise for Gen. Meade.

Editor National Tribune: I am an old
soldier and a subscriber to The National
Tribune, and generally am pleased with
1t, but sometimes see articles in it that
are unjust, narrow and partisan. For
instance, in The National Tribune of the
21st there is short article, under head
of the Peninsula" which reads as fol-
lows: "Findley w. Munson, of STAN
ford, Fla, was all thru the Peninsular
Campaign, and quite agrees with what
The National Tribune history has said.
If Grant had been in McClellan's place
at Malvern Hill, Richmond would have
been taken at once. Mcclellan could
have been in Richmond within q month
from starting from Fortress Monroe if
he had had anything of the Grant spirit
in him." Now, I am not especially an
admirer of Mcclellan. tho I served un-
der him all the time he commanded the
Army Of the Potomac, but 1 believe in
doing justice to him. He wen. down to
the Peninsula with about $4,000 men,
but was very indifferently supported
from Washington. Grant in the oegin-
ming of May, 1864, started for Rich
mond with 100000 men, mostly vetcr-
ans, and met Lee with barely 100, 900.
With all that superiority of forces, and
with immense reinforcementS at call,
Grant did not take Richmond in Il
uOT IL ADT1l,
1865, after losing more men in killed,
wounded and prisoners than Lees en-
tire army; and when Lee surrendered at
Appomattox he had only $1,000 men
left, while Grant had nearly 200, 900 SOL
diers around him. AT Cold Harbor, be-
fore Richmond, Grant suffered perhaps
the most disastrous defeat of the war.
These are historic facts. Be fair. Your
columns should deal fairly with all SOL
diers. Grant was a great soldier, but
SO was Gen. George G. Meade, and yet
very rarely in the columns of your pa
per do 1 see any praise or even mention
Of Gen. Meade; and yet he was one of
the grandest, noblest and most unset
fish Generals of the civil war, and
fought the battle of Gettysburg, which
was the Waterloo of the rebellion. Had
he been appointed COMMUNICATIVE Chief
as Grant was he would in all probabili-
ty have taken Richmond as soon

The Nine-MOnths Men.

j. G. Thomas, goth Mo-, Weber, Kan,
disputes Comrade Dodge's claim that
the nine-months men were pushed to
the front, and without them Port Hud-
son and Vicksburg would not have been
taken. Nine-month men at the front
was the exception rather than the rule,
and there was not a nine-months man
at Vicksburg. If the old Army of the
Tennessee was not composed of sea-
soned veterans no army was He would
not take any glory from the nine
months men, but they must not claim
too much. A claim was recently made
for certain regiment being the first to

the first to enter the city were four COM

Widows Pensions.
Aunt Jane, Plumville, Pa, who does

far toward keeping up family expenses.
When he died everything was gone. She
applied for a pension, and received So
a month, but that is small to get along
on when she has to pay 10 cents a BUSH

make $50 bushels do her year, but
even that takes up s25, or 81 more than

Dark as the clouds of even,
Banked in the western heaven,
Waiting the breath that lifts
All the dread mass and drifts;
Tempest and falling brand
Over q ruined land;
So, still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee,
Waiting the great event,
Stand, the Black Regiment,
Down the long dusky line
Teeth CLEAN and eyebalIs shine:
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling and firmly set,
Flashed with n purpose grand,
Long ere the sharp command
OF the fierce rolling drum
Told them their time had come,
Told them what work was sent
For the Black Regiment.
Now the brave Colonel cried,
Tho death and hell betide,
Let the whole Nation see
If you are fit to be
Free in this land, or bound
Down like the whining hound,
Bound with red stripes of pain
In your old chains again!
oh, what a shout there went
From the Black Regiment.
"'Charge!' Trump and drum awoke
Onward the bondmen broke;
Bayonet and saber stroke
Vain1y opposed their rush.

With but one thought aflush,
Driving their lords like char,
In the guns mouths they laugh:
Or at the slippery brands,

Leaping with open hands,
Down they tear man and horse,
Down in their awful course;
Trampling with bloody heel
Over the crashing steel.
All their eyes forward bent,
Rushed the Black Regiment.
'Freedom,' their battle cry,
Freedom or leave to die!'
All, and they meant the word
Not as with us tits heard,
Not mere party shout;
They gave their spirits out;
Trusted the end to God,
And on the CORY sod
Rolled in triumphant blood:
Glad to strike one free blow,
Whether for veal or woe;
Glad to breathe one free breath,
Tho on the lips of death,
Praying, alasi in vain,
That they might rise again
SO they could once more see
That fight for liberty!
This was what freedom lent
To the Black Regiment
Hundreds on hundreds felt,
But they are resting well;
Scourges and shackles strong
Never shall do them wrong.
Companions, be just and true;
oh, to the living few
Hail them as comrades tried,
Stand with them side by side:
Never in field or tent
Shun the Black Regiment.
