Grant and Mcclellan.

Editor National Tribune: In your
issue of Jan. 90, 1908, Col. Everard
Bierer, in his communication in defense
of Gen. Mcclellan, among other. things,
says that Grant, in May, 1864, started
that at Appomattox he had 100000
men opposed to Lees $1,000. Has not
the Colonel taken his statistics from
Confederate writers of civil war history
all of whom Systematically magnify the
Union forces and minimize the Confed-
crate forces engaged in any given bat
tie or campaign? AS matter of fact
did Grant ever command more than
125, 900 musketS, as the Confederates
put it, at any one time during his cam
paign against Richmond? 1t seems to
ME your readers should have the truth
81 history on this point.-R. w. Healy,
JSth H., Chattanooga, Tenn.
Our correspondent is que right, and
Gen. Grant probably never had as many
as 125,000 muskets in any battle of his
campaign against Lee. He could NOT
use any more men in the country in
which the campaign was carried on.
Lee probably began the campaign with
$4,000 muskets. and at the time of the
fail of Richmond ne probably had over
10000 as all the eastern part of the
Southern Confederacy was stripped to
reinforce him. The figures obtainablc
support the belief that Lee had over
10000 on the evening of April 2, 1865,
when his lines around Petersburg were
forced.-Editor National Tribune

The Oldest Quartermaster Dead,

that village on Feb. 16, 19OS He was
born in Ireland Oct. 21, 1885. Death
came from blood poison from a run

injured in the battle of Stone River
He was member of Co. A, 4th Mich
Cav. which participated in about zoe
battles and skirmishes. He was one OF
the detachment of that regiment that
captured Jefferson Davis, and always
affirmed that Davis was disguised in
female attire. When c. o. Loomis
(named after Gen. C. o. Loomis, orig
inal Captain of the celebrated Loomis
Battery Post, 2, Department of Michi-
gan, G. A. r., was organized Jan. %,
1876, Comrade Lennon was elected
Quartermaster, and he has held that
office continuously ever since. AS that
Post is the oldest one in the State (No.
l having disbanded soon after it's or
sanization), Thomas Lennon was the
Oldest Quartermaster in Michigan, and
l doubt not the oldest in the United
States. 1t is unnecessary to add that
he was popular with his comrades, as

1000 prisoners. Gen. Price reported
his losses at 12 killed. "a wounded and

early on the morning of the 10th
the enemy appeared in heavy force On
the north bank of the river, about eight
miles below Little Rock. Col. A. S.
Dobbin, upon whom the command Of
Walkers Division had been devOlved
by the unfortunate death of that Ia
mented officer. Immediately concen-
trated his whole disposable force (about
1.200 mem to dispute his passage. He
was, however, embarrassed, not only
by the fact that the river was fordable
in IL different places, within II miles
of Little Rock Cat one of which the
enemy actually made a strong feint of
crossing), but by the additional fact
that the place at which the enemy did
finally force the passage was selected
with excellent judgment, it being the:
upper point of a horseshoelike bend,
upon the three sides of which he plant
ed five batteries. These, after two
hours heavy cannonading, silenced the
guns which Col. Dobbin had opposed to
the enemys passage, and drove them
and the supporting cavalry from the
peninsula. I ordered Tappan's Brigade
to the relief of Dobbin as soon as 1
learned that the enemy was seriously
threatening to cross the river, and i'm
mediately thereafter ordered Gen. Mar
maduke to move his division to the
south side, to assume command of all
the cavalry, to hold the enemy in check
until could withdraw my infantry and
artillery from the north side of the
river. and, when this had been accom-
plished, to cover the retreat, the orders
for which were at once given. The in
fantry began to leave the intrenchments
at IL o'clock in the morning. The city
was finally evacuated about o'clock
in the afternoon. The trains had been
sent to the rear early in the forenoon.
The cavalry. under Brig. Gen. Marina

selling the genuine article. Pennsylva-
mia scrapple does not contain one par
ticle of buckwheat. 1t is made from
the hogs head. Not being partial to
the head in any dish, make it with a
shoulder piece. We have made it for
more than 40 years. Take three pounds
of pork, cook till you can pick in small
shreds (some chop t). With the water
it is cooked in add six quarts of water;
salt to taste (add sage if liked); then

Mrs. B. F. Miller, a Pennsylvania wo-
man, born in Pennsylvania, and who
has lived in the good old State over so
years, sends a scrapple recipe:
Take head, heart and any lean
scraps of fresh pork. boil until it slips
easily from bone; remove fat, gristle
and bones; chop fine. Set the liquor in
which the meat was boiled away until
cold; take cake of fat from surface;
return to fire; let come to boil; put in
chopped meat; season well with salt
and pepper Let it boil again; then sift
in cornmeal Gas in the old good way
of making corr mush); cook one hour,
stirring constantly at first; then put
back to cook gently. When done put
in pan or dish not too deep to mold, so
as to cut into slices to fry. Fry brown
as corn mush, and it makes a delicious
breakfast dish. Many persons add part
buckwheat flour in place of all corn
meal when making. Some people make
too fat, and do not use meat enough
for the amount of meal required to
thicken the liquor. When ready to pat
in the meal it ought to be almost like
wet hash. so to speak, or else it will be
too mushy for first-class scrapple."
