herdstown. After making the crossing
they had not time to get into line before
their skirmishers were driven back by
Lees whole army. The boys stood their
ground and fought bravely, sometimes
at close quarters. The colors were shot
down several times, and at last the
Colonel stepped forward to save them
with his pistol in hand and WIS wound

A Cry for Justice.
Mrs Rhoda A. Hotel, Sarcoxie, Mo-.
thanks God for the McCumber BILL but
feels that it is hard that the widow
and dependent ones have no part in it.
1t is not so much the money that she
begS for, tho money, like Gods favor,
is always necessary, but simple justice
and equal consideration with the men
while left to travel the remainder of
the way alone. She says: Many of
us recall with bitter anguish the sad
occasion when we closed the eyes and
folded the hands across the lifeleSS
breast of the dear form in the suit of
soldier blue, with its glittering buttons,
which by request was to clothe the dear
body for its last journey. He had been
the tower of strength on which we had
leaned for over a quarter of a century,
and when all that was mortal was laid
away we returned to a home that was
one in name only, or perhaps found
ourselves shelterless. The liberal PEN
sion granted some soldiers expires at
death, and the widow is forced to live
on the IS given her if she can, work
for her living or go to the poorhouse."
Mrs. Hotel only asks for justice.
Entering Columbia.
Samuel Zeigler, 30th Iowa, Ripon,
Cal. disagrees with some previous cor
respondents as to the entrance into
Columbia. While lying opposite the
city a detail was made to go on picket
in which he and his bunkie, James H.
Abraham, were. They crossed the river
above Columbia on pontoons, and es-
tablished their picket lines across n
small bayou, a short distance from the
river. The whole brigade came across
while it was yet daylight, with the Both
Iowa being the last to cross. There
was some skirmish firing, and one or
two of the men were wounded, but they
advanced on the enemy and drove them
back until they met the Mayor of the
city with flag of truce and surrendered
Columbia to Col. Roberts of the 30th
Iowa, he being on the right flank and
next to the city. Col Roberts sent the

The PeninsuIar Campaign.

John w. Hays, 14th N Y. and 18th
n. Y. Cav, Faulkton, S. D., says that
there was mistake in the Peninsular
Campaign in the composition of the
brigade commanded by Gen. Griffin on
the reconnaissance. At that time Crit
fms Brigade consisted of the 18th N.
Y, 4th Mich, 9Th Mass, ed Pa and
32d Mass. The latter Joined at Harri-
sons Landing. There was no better
regiment than the 4th Mich, and he
would be glad to hear from any of them
or of his old regiment. If those who
are writing history knew the facts, they
would not be surprised at Gen. Lees
counting SO confidently on Mcclellan.
We could have taken Richmond at the
time of the battle at Fair oaks, and
could have annihilated the Confederate
army at Malvern Hill. Prisoners told
them that they could have gone into
Richmond If they had followed up the
battle at Hanover Court House. Why
did not Mcclellan let us crush Lees
army at Antietam? Why are the Con-
federates so friendly to Mcclellan d?
Comrade Hays lived South, and learned
many things.

F. w. HARDWOOD, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
does not approve of the ex-prisoners of

men We're prisoners for one year or
more and others for only 80 days, and
the 30-days man may have received a
much worse injury than the one-year
man, and may be under greater dis
ability now. In his own case he was
only 40 days in prison, but was in poor
health when he was captured, and with
the best of home care and medical
treatment 1t was 10 months after his
exchange before he was able to do any
work. He was captured Aug. 81, 1864
and unable to do anything to earn his
living until August, 1865, so that his
present experience took nearly one year
