Harbor, June I, 1854; the bullet was

get but the small sum Of $12 per month.
Fine, is it not, for a man who served
faithfully three years for this glorious
Union? I want to say: Was there ever
justice done to the soldier? Who was
in reality the volunteer soldier? think
the man, boy, rather (the majority were
in their teens), who presented his all
to his country's defense in 81, not
waiting to escape the draft, or for the
were given in the latter end of the war;
not meaning to cast any reflections on
the short-term men, for they did their
duty, also; but the question arises: Has
Congress ever In any way or form done
justice to the boys Of '612 Law after
law has passed both houses time and
again. but never once has anything
favorable to the old '61r boys been
passed. While attempts have been
made, 30 far nothing to better their
conditions has been accomplished.
think the per diem bill was good, but
it went under the table. Comrade Sher-
woods bill would have done the right
thing, 1 peileVe. Every Isl volunteer
says so. All Of US who arst laid the
foundation of our SUCCESS and our pres
ent National greatness, by building
forts. throwing up earthworks. march,
Ing. fighting, laying corduroy thru the
Peninsular campaign. n Why there was
never anything done yett1to help the
volunteer of 81 is beyond my logic.
Just think. $11 month at the start
and $16 at the end of the service! What
would have been the condition of these
old glorious United States had It not
been for the outstretched arms and
heroic bodies Of the '61 boys who rail-
lied In response to the call OF the best
President that ever ruled? I hope Con-
gress and President Taft will think even
at this late day, Of the services OF the
volunteers Of 81, and have rendered
unto them their Just dues. / am not
scribbling these lines to do any injus-
tice or to arouse any bad feelings. for
the men who came out after '61, be-

this grand old country intact as It

A Michigan and Erie Canal.

The Michigan papers are reviving
the old proposition for a canal to con-
meet Lakes Michigan and Erie directly
across the southern part of the State.
This proposition first took tangible
form AZ years ago. when George Will
lard, Of Battle Creek, "a member of the
Legislature, spent some time and money
with engineers in surveying the route
and making estimates. The result of
the surveys showed that a shallow
draft canal could be dug by taking ad-
vantage of the channels of the Kala-
mazoo River until the middle of the
State was reached. when the canal
would follow the upper waters of the
Grand River, and finally descend by
the way Of the River Raisin into Lake
Erie. The plans and estimates made
at that time have been discovered. They
contemplated that % locks would be
necessary at the cost of S264,000, and
the rights of way and other expenses
would raise the total amount to $4,-
754,860. This would provide a water
way of an average depth of three feet,
and would be Of great convenience and
profit to the thriving cities of Kalama-
zoo, Battle Creek, Jackson and Mon
roe, as well as of decided advantage to
the farmers of that fertile region, who
would thus have given them the lowest
possible rates to market.

Confederate Pensions.

Editor National Tribune: am not
going to even try to show Comrade
Jacob H. Rhoads why the Government
should or should not pension ex-Con-
federate soldiers. shall just ask Com
-ade Rhoads and all other old Union
soldiers who were at the front in active
service long enough to judge for your
selves the condition of the Southern
people before and during the war; also
what the condition of the country was
after the war, then empty your hearts
of all that old gall and wormwood. Then
Just stop and consider who plotted and
planned the rebellion. Was it the old
ex-Confederate soldiers who are living
to-day? No, sir. Remember, II took
older heads to plot treason that caused
war that took 100000 soldiers to
crush out.
The plans and specifications for Sc
cession were all arranged by those re-
sponsible for the war as early at least
as 1860. Now, Comrade Rhoads, 1t is
very rare. as you will admit. that we
find man under 25 years of age who
was a representative of the people; that
Is, in position to do any great amount
of good or harm. 1t was older heads
than those you are blaming that were
responsible for the war. We cannot
consistently say that the Confederate
ex-soldiers now living were guilty of
treason. Now, comrade, what do you
think you and ] would have done had
we been sons of a Shareholder in the
South in 1861? We would have lis
tened to the fiery speeches of our great
statesmen and leaders. telling us that
the only way for us to maintain our
rights and save our slaves was for the
Slave States to secede and fght for
their rights and more slave territory in
the new West.
We would have been Influenced by
these f1re-eaters, as they were some-
times called, and as most natural
consequence you and would have both
enlisted in the Southern army. The
Southern boys (almost every old Con-
federate soldier now living was only a
boy them were forced to believe that
the cause OF secession was a most Just
and holy cause. Were those boys guilty
Of treason? I say no. The guilty 6hes
have long since passed over the river.
Let them rest in peace.-W. F. Jenkins,

The National tribune., 1909-05-06

European inventors are working Wig
orously at the problem of generating
electric power by wind wheels. The
trouble with this is to regulate the
wind wheel in its relation 10 the dy-
namo and storage battery. The wind
has to be of certain strength in order
to overpower the tension OF the battery.
II it is keyed to this tension and the
wind falls the battery will at once dis
charge back into the wheel 1t is
something like forcing water to an
elevation. AS long as the force which
is pushing the water Is superior 10 the
head of the water into which the
liquid is pushed the water will con-
tinue to be driven in that direction,
but as soon as the head of water is
greater than the power propelling it
the water will run back. Prof. La
Cour, who is employed by the Danish
Government to grapple with the prob
lem, thinks that he has perfected a
device by which this matter can be
regulated. His windmill has four wings
arranged at right angles, with adjust
able sheets, and he has an ingenious
automatic device to prevent the bat
terry discharging thru the dynamo
when the wind falls. W. o. Horsnail,
of England, thinks he has succeeded
with few turns of winding in direc-
ton opposite TO the general winding,
and which win retard the discharge of
the battery thru the dynamo.

Editor National Tribune: In The Ma

who was visiting washington, D. c. I
have in my library, with some 90 or
more other volumes relating to the war
for the restoration of the Union. the
report for 1866,
in which every commissioned officer of
Vermont regiments is recorded, with
the company, age of officer, date of
commission, when mustered, his resi-

age, 21; date of commission, Aug. IL,
1863; mustered, Aug. %, 1868; promot-
ed First Lieutenant, Dec. 28, 1868" As
First Lieutenant 1t is said: Mustered

regiment was mustered into the SER

bered by those who are left that In
June, 1855, brevets were bestowed gen.
erously on about all those who were
soon to be mustered out. 1t was a cheap
method of recognizing the services of 9
deserving class, and as 1t cost the Gov

unsparingly. But few escaped, and yet

THE NEW SENATORS.
They No Longer Take Back Seats for
Their First Terms.

The extra session of Congress prob
ably will dispose effectually at last of
the hoary tradition that a new Sem
ator must be mute observer during
q noyiate of two years. The West and
South have been honoring the tradi-
tion most in the breach. 1t was moth
ing exceptional that Senator Martin
n. johnson, of North Dakota, or even
that Senator Duncan u. Fletcher, of
Florida, should have delivered maiden
speeches last week when they were
less than two months old as toga
wearers.
But Elihu Root, of New York, who
came into the Senate in the same class
with johnson and Fletcher, is taking
quite as active q part legislatively and
Oratorically as any of his new West
ern colleagues. He has been partici-
pating in debate, altho he has deliver
ed no set speech that could be formally
designated as a maiden effort" The
gray old leaders. who are 30 tenacious
of traditions, have not frowned upon
Senator Root for his lack of inclina-
ton to sit back and look on. When he
dips into debate they listen most re-
spectfuily and there is evidence that
his words have weight with them.
They have consulted him considerably
about matters of tariff legislation, and
when they are making common cause
on any particular matter at the White
House Offices, they are glad TO have the
New York Senator join them and he
has already in some instances.
Senator Burton, of Ohio, whom
many regarded as one of the very
strongest men in the House during
his long service there. is following the
same course as Senator Root. He has
not participated yet in debate but is
planning to do so just as he did in
the House-wheneyer there is q cause
that appeals to him. The advocates of
free hides from the West have found
in him a champion and when the de-
bate on that item comes up, Mr.. Bur
ton expects to speak.
Both Senator Root and Senator Bur-
ton are forging ahead as active and
interested factors In Senate affairs
more than did Mr.. Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania, now Secretary of State, when
he entered the Senate four years ago.
Because of his recognized ability and
experience ss Cabinet officer, the SEN
ate leaders took Mr.. Knox into their
circle right speedily, and yet he occu-
1sed . back seat for long time, and

A Light-Drafto Gunboat.

The British have built 1fa gunboat
which is claimed to approach the light
draft steamboats, Of the western rivers
of former years. which cohld run over
a heavy dew. The iTytdgeun, intended
for service in the shallow rwaters of
Africa, is 160 feet long and "a feet six
inches wide. with draft of only two
feet five inches. The peculiar feature
of the boat is that large part of the
twin screws revolye above the surface
of the water. An extension Of the
upper deck makes tunnels over The
screws. AS these revolve they drive
the water and air out of the tunnel
and the water is drawn in from under
the hull by the vacuum created so as
to afford pressure against which the
screws work. We doubt, however.

Twelve Terminates and What Became OF
Them,

Editor National Tribune: June z,
1861, the Sd Me-, Col. o. o. Howard
commanding, went into camp on Meri-
dian Hill. Washington, D. c., using
what was called bell tents, each accom-
modating about IL men. The follow
ing IL were terminates during the month
the regiment was in camp at that
place, drilling and disciplining for the
great work it was destined to go thru
I'm its three years in the Army of the
Potomac. First on the right was Ma
thaniel Green; following him, in rota-
ton, Arsenas Littlefield, Alvin B. Wood
man, John II. Bacon, Albro Hubbard,
jeremiah A. Estes, William H. Barrett.
Albert Corson, William H. Bacon, Rial
NJ. Bryant. Samuel F. Emerson and
Samuel w. Austin. It has been my
care to keep the history of each of my
first terminates and give the following
facts: Green was taken sick soon after
the regiment went into active service;
was discharged, and died on the way
to his home in Maine. Littlefieid lost a
leg in battle, came home. and died
about IS years ago. Woodman served
the three years, and l had the pleasure
of meeting him at the Reunion of the
regiment August, 1908. He is very
poorly and is about thru the campaign
of life. John II. Bacon was wounded
1tttySDuTB. CdHlt nome tO--I1diIle, =,
and died suddenly five years ago. Hub
bard was captured by the enemy and
died in a Southern prison. Estes was
taken sick and sent to hospital, where
| he died. Barrett was captured, while
sick, in front of Richmond in June,
1862, and died while a prisoner. Cor
son was killed at Gettysburg on the
second day of the battle. VIM. H. Ba-
con, brother to John H., was taken
sick and died in a hospital. Bryant,
who had been promoted to Sergeant,
was mortally wounded at the battle OF
Fair Oaks. and died few days after.
Austin was transferred to the artillery
service in the Spring of 1868; served
his three years enlistment, came home
| to Maine, and settled in Aroostook
County, where he died suddenly four
years ago. Emerson re-enlisted in the
Regular service in November, 1863, and
was discharged by reason of expira-
ton of service Nov. -. 1867. Comrade
WOodman and myself are the last sur
vlvors of the IL. and inasmuch as ]
was one Of the very youngest and my
health and strength are holding out
remarkably well, ] have far more than
an even chance of beating Woodman
and being the last survivor of that
heroic band that went into that tent
together on Meridian Hill nearly as
years ago-SamueI F. Emerson, Co

A New Lincoln Story.

An absolutely new Lincoln story has
come out. At the beginning of the war
w. r. Ryan. a Maryland boy, went
with the Confederates and enlisted in
the Sd Va Cav. His brother, j. T.
Ryan, took the other direction, and
enlisted in the 11th Md. w. r. Ryan
was taken prisoner at Gettysburg, and
sent to Point Lookout. where he fell III
with the dysentery. His mother deter
mined to make an appeal to Mr.. Lin
coin for his release. 1t cost the Presi-
dent much to refuse her, but he felt
that he had to do so, and she burst out
with eli appeal that he should regard
her petition more favorably since she
had son fighting for the Union. Lin
coin smiled and said. Madame. your
son with Grant has saved your son
with Lee. and I will give him back to
you" He sent an order for his release.
and both the brothers are to-day hold
ing responsible positions in the NavY
