The 9th n, Y. S. M.

J. T. Mott, Brooklyn. N. Y, calls at
tention to a typographical error which
made his regiment the 10Th N. Y. s. M.
in place of the 9th N. Y. S. M. His reg
iment was one Of the Regular militia
regiments which left the city for the
front in May or June, 1861, the same as
the 7th and 14th N. Y.

Thomas L. Hall, 1st Wis. H. A, wants

shailtown, Iowa, made visit to Gettys-
burg with his wife last August, and saw
the historic place for the first time since
1868. The field looked very familiar to
him, and he was especially pleased with
the magnificent monuments erected on
every part of the field. McElroy's de-
scription of the field was found to be
most real and exact. His regiment was
part of the Sixth Corps, held m reserve.
The brigade was formed in three lines
to the right or northeast of Little Round

It Was Valuable Service.

Comrade Archibald Gray, Sergeant,
Co. A, 14th Pa. Cav, writes from Nor
ton, Pa: II have been much interested
in your history of Chancellorsville and
Gettysburg. I was not in the general
engagement on July 1, 2 and 8, 1868,
but was with Maj. Foley, of the 18th
Pa. Cav, of which you made mention
in your issue of Nov. 12. In regard to
destroying the pontoonl bridge at Fall
ing Waters: The command left Freder-
lex City, Md, on July 81 While on our
way we saw large wagon train NOV
ing in the direction of Boonsboro, which
proved to be Gen. Meade's provision and
ammunition train, being decoyed into
the rebel lines by a rebel spy named
Richardson. who represented himself
to be Lieutenant on Gen. Meade's
staff. The train was turned back to
Frederick City, and the spy was turned
over to Gen. French and was afterward
hung. The detachment continued its
march to Failing Waters. capturing sew
en- loads of ammunition, burning the
bridge and capturing anumber of pris-
oners. If any of the comrades are liv-

Veterans in the Soldiers Homes.

Peter Boyer, 147th Pa, National
Home, Wisconsin. is strongly Sissatis-
fed with the National Encampments
agreement to ask no more pension leg
islation. He wants Congress to pass a
law to give those who are unfortunate
enough to have to go to the Soldiers
Homes enough to make $24 a month.
There are on an average 20,710 veterans
in the National Homes, which cost the
Government s4.742,260 to maintain.
There are 11,750 in the State Homes,
which cost the States $1,175,000, max
ing total of s5.917,260. If all in the
State Homes should be allowed 800 di-
rect and go home. 70 per cent would
gladly go home forever. If those in
the National Homes could have their
pensions made s24 a month, rs per cent
of them would also go home to live, and
be more happy and contented. The
Government would thereby save $2.257,-
900 year. 1t would cost, say, $120 a
year for the 20,710 men, or total of
$2,485,200 and the s1,175,000 that they
pay to the various State Homes would
make it in all $3.660.200. Deducting
this amount from the estimate for 1909
would make a net saving to the Govern
ment of $2,257,060.
