Would Like His Oyercoat.

Editor National Tribune: I think it
was July 25, 1863, after an all nights
hard march in the rain from Newbern,
N. c.. up the Neuse River to destroy a
Confederate gunboat being built The
sun having come out bright and warm,
1 concluded to take off my new over
coat and strap it on my saddle. After
removing the coat I put one leg over
the pommel of the saddle. AS we were
marching along, with a rail fence on
one side and open woods on the other,
we suddenly got a hot volley from
Confederates lying in ambush. My
company (H, Sd N. Y. Cav) suddenly
broke into the woods for shelter, and
L lost my overcoat. After about an
hours dismounted skirmishing and
shelling by our hOwitzers, which came
up. we drove out the ambushers and
moved on. / looked for my overcoat,
but it was non est. 1 looked and in
quired of our boys, but no one had it
that | could see or hear, SO L concluded
the Confederates got it. 1 would be

The Sixth Corps at Cold Harbor.

Editor National Tribune: In Comrade
Charles Porter's criticism in issue of
Oct. IA of my Blue and Gray Truce
of Sept. 30 he says: Il seem fated to
find and correct mistakes, etc. In the
Blue and Gray Truce, Sept 80, the writ
er, A. w. Stillwell, manages to get
wrong on several points. For instance.
he says Wright's Sixth Corps was moved
to Lees right flank at Cold Harbor.
where the Second Corps, under Han
cock, was already engaged with the
enemy. 1t was my fortune to have been
a part of the Sixth Corps, and we were
on the extreme left of the army" Now.
if Comrade Porter will take a second
thought on that position, he will discov-
er that being on the extreme left of our
army, as he states, would, of course, be
on Lees right flank, as 1 stated; and
again he corrects as follows: ''On the
I'd day of June, instead of taking a po-
sition somewhat in advance of the pre-
vious day, we were marched to the rear
about noon" The comrade will please
observe that my article reads on the
morning of the Sd and not the I'd, as
he quotes it. My observations were
taken from records kept in pocket diary
and verified at headquarters-A W.

"DiEugeIty With Thcr Government"

| Editor National Tribune: I notice by
the papers that your friend. Tom Wat
| lSon. of Georgia, says that there is going
! to he war between the people of Geor-
| gia and the United States Court. /
wonder if Tom ever heard anything be-
| fore about "a war that occurred about 40
years ago in this country. This reminds
me of story that i heard somewhere
some Is years ago when a man by the
name of Payne, who was commonly
known as Oklahoma Payne. who was
trying to induce people to settle in the
Territory of Oklahoma. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Government was
not ready to open that Territory to set
tlement yet The story goes that Mr..
Payne went down into the highlands of
Tennessee in some village school house,
and eXpatated on the merits of Okla
homa as a country in which to live,
that it was fiat and well watered and
long grass grew and cattle could run
all Winter and all that kind of stuff.
This story appealed to the Tenesseeans,
who live on rocks most of the time, and
Oklahoma Payne put down their names
and they agreed to go with Payne. He
wound up Ills remarks, however. by
stating that it is true they had a little
trouble with the Government. There
fore, one long Cracker" arose in the
rear of the audience and said, Say,
mister is this ther Government of the
United States yer diffugelty WITH" and
Payne admitted that it was, and the

Bad for Watches.

VIM. p. Clawson, Co. A, 141st N. Y,
Lodi. n. Y. apropos of Comrade W. A.
Davidsons experience in having ball
hit his U. S. plate and smash his watch
says: AT the battle of Dallas or New
Hope Church we were lying down in
front of the rebel works and loading
and firing as well as we could, and 1
thought 1 could get better aim if 1
stood up. AS l did so, my canteen
swung around in front directly over
my cappouch. which had slipped over
the q. S. plate. which covered my
watch. A ball hit the canteen, threw
aside the cap-pouch, bent the end Of
the L. S. plate, smashed my watch.
and knocked the breath out of me.
Watch stopped at 6:15, May 25, 1864.

Captured Near Ebenezer Church. Ga

J. d. Wilson, 1910 Woodard ST.
benson. Tex, member of Shannon's
Scouts, c. S. A, during the civil war
tells of his capture of two Yankees on
Oct. 5, 1864. He says he went into
Sherpan's lines and got in a treetop
not great way from the road. when
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Army
Corps were passing. He lay in the
tree till about dark, when he and his
comrades went down the road, and in
a small house found three Yankees, two
OF whom they captured. The next
morning they passed thru Wilson's
guards on the top of hill, who We're
guarding the bridge over a small branch
close to Big Swamp, went down the
branch under the bridge into the
swamp without being seen, and got to
their camp before night Took the
two Yankees to Dallas to Gen. Hoods
headquarters. 1t is his impression that
they told him they belonged to the
18th Ohio, but he is sure they be-
longed to the Fifteenth Corps. The
name OF one OF these men was w. III.
or w. w. Sheppard, who took his cap-
ture hard, thinking he would be con-
sidered deserter. If Mr.. Sheppard.
or any of his friends, will write to
Mr.. Wilson. he will be glad to tell
them all he knows about his capture.

The Sixth COrDs.

James L. Jones, Co. 3, 1st Md. L. A,
thinks Comrade r. c. Breese mistaken
when he says there was no Sixth Corps
until after the Mud March. There was
a Sixth Corps at Harrison's Landing,
because his battery was put into the
Second Division of it, commanded by
Badly Smith, just before they left the
landing. His battery took part in the
second Bull Run and Antfetam, and
at Fredericksburg was in Franklin s
Grand Division, Badly Smith command
ing the corps. At second Bull Run
and Antietam the corps was comman-
ded by Franklin, the division by
smith, and his battery attached to the
old Vermont Brigade. The Grand Di-
vision was formed by Burnside after
he took command. Comrade Jones
was in the retreat to Harrison's Land
ing. where the regiment lost two killed
and Is wounded.

A Lost Discharge.

Comrade Henry Wakeley, 145th Pa,
81 Gilfort street, Buffalo. n. Y, is
| anxious to find q lost discharge paper.
| The veteran had rather a panicky time
| of it for little while in 1868. He was
| i'll and in the hospital here in WASH
| ington. from which he was discharged
Jan. &c, 1863. In the Fall. when he
had recovered his health, he went to
| Toledo, o., to visit his relatives, and
was arrested as a deserter. He was
| taken before a Provost Marshal, and
was put in prison, where he was kept
for some time, until he wrote to his
| mother, who lived in Erie, Pa, who
sent him his discharge. AS soon as he
got the discharge and presented it to
the Provost Marshal he was released
He was going from Toledo, o., to
Adrian, Mich. and rather than carry
the discharge with him he took it to
the rendezvous where he had stayed as
prisoner and gave it to lady who
was working in the dining-room, think
ing it would be safe in her hands He
then went to Adrian, and while there
had the misfortune to have his left eye
put out, when he was sent to his home
in Erie. He was in such misery that
he never thought of his discharge
again. and has not made any inquiry
for it during all these years. He thinks
that he is in need OF it now in his old
age. and so he asks that his comrades
help him to find it if possible. He does
not state the name of the lady to whom
he gave the discharge. Anyone having
any knowledge of this please communi-
cate with him at the above address.
II Comrade Wakeley desires his dis
charge for the purpose of obtaining a
pension or anything like that, all he
needs to do is to apply to the War
Department, and they will send him
blank to fill out, which he will return
to them, showing his service, ETC., and
they will give him a certificate of dis
charge. 1t will not be a copy of the
discharge, but 1t will certify that he
received an honorable discharge, and
will answer at the Pension Office just

Clean and UncIean Milk.

A fight is on in Washington over the
question of the milk supply. There is
no doubt at all that all milk is more
or less polluted before it gets to the
table, and most of it is more" rather
than less. 1t is said that milk will
gather up impurities in the atmosphere
faster than anything else in the world,
and 1t is the habit of the housekeeper
| to pour her pint, quart or gallon of milk
| in large pans that the cream may rise
and over these receptacles she places
no lid. The great howl now Is that the
COWS from which the milk Is obtained
are more or less afflicted with tubercu-
losis, which, of course, is a pretty tough
| proposition to meet Just as soon as
| this is discovered the cows in that dairy
SO afflicted are ordered slaughtered, and
the remainder of the herd is isolated
until it is ascertained whether there is
any possibility of the development Of
the disease in them. Meantime the
! theorists in the pasteuriZation of milk
are getting in their work. Nathan
lStraus, the New York merchant and
phiianthropist, and brother of ex-Sec-
retary of the Navy Straus, has offered
to present to Washington milk-purify-
| ing plant, which is really pasteuriZing
affair. If the District will maintain it
|
for shipment from Heidelberg. Ger
many, as soon as he is notified as to
what provision would be made by the
District for its maintenance and loca-
ton. Just as soon as this offer of Mr.
Strauss was made known all the dairy
men in this neck of woods who do not
pasteurize their milk set I'D q howl
against it, and great scientists and stu
dents more particularly of babes in the
first year of their life, have come to the
front With-protests against the pasteur-
izing of milk. They make the plain
statement that babies fed on pasteur-
lied milk are liable within the first few
weeks of beginning TO use it to develop
what Is called infantile scurvy. And
now the war is merrily on.
remember one time at a Mothers
Congress when DR.. Wiley was talking
to the mothers about the necessity for
care in the selection of food for babes,
and urging upon them the fact that
the milk should be carefully inspected
TO be sure that it was pure. A number
of questions were fired at him by the
mothers, which he answered in a very
practical manner. One mother said:
II you feared that the milk that you
were feeding your babies and using in
your family might not be perfectly pure
of it?"
DR.. Wiley, who Is rotund and Jolly.
with twinkle of his eye said: ..If 7
was using milk that / feared was not
pure. ! would quit using it and get milk
that is pure"
But" insisted the mother, "do you
think pasteurization is effective?"
We'll. yes" replied the Doctor. "It is
too effective, for while you kill the bad
germs that may be in it, you also de-
stroy the good germs and make the
milk less valuable as food product"
Then said the mother, ''you advise
pasteurization." and DIR. Wiley replied.
Il advocate pure milk"
And there you are.
