MONUMENT TO CONFEDERATES.

| Confederate officers and privates who
were buried in the cemetery on John
sons Island, near Sandusky, o. Gov
Harmon, of Ohio, has invited all the
executives of the Southern States to
participate and also a number of prom
fnent survivors Of the struggle The
idea of erecting a monument was con-
ceived by Robert Patton Chapter, Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy, of
Cincinnati, o.. In 1908 they purchased
the cemetery, and have since raised a
fund with which to erect a monument.
Veterans of the Union and Confederate
armies have been invited to be present
and march together. John T. Mack, of
Sandusky, has been appointed Marshal
The prison, which was erected in the
Fall of 1861, was intended for Confed-
crate officers alone, and but few pri-
Yates were sent there. From first to
last about 10000 Confederates were
confined there, the greatest number at
any time being about 5000 just before
the war ended. The total number of
deaths among the prisoners was 220.
The prison occupied about 40 acres
and was inclosed by fence of 14-inch
plank, stood on end. Around the fence
near the top was a walk, on which the
guards paced. Blockhouses were built
at the corners, each loopholed for mus
kerry and provided with 12-pound
mountain howitZers. Inside were bar
racks to accommodate two companies
of 100 men each. They were built of
boards nailed up and down, battened
on the outside and ceiled on the inside.
Bunks three tiers high and each one
wide enough to accommodate two men
afforded sleeping accommodations.
Each was supplied with a tick filled
with straw and sufficient blankets, and
the barracks were warmed by cast-iron
box stoves. Kitchens were built for
cooking. L. B. Johnson, owner OF the
property adjoining the prison, consent
ed to Its use as cemetery. and after
the war ended he built at his own eX-
pense a wire fence around 1t and kept
it in order. Later McMeens Post, G.
A. R., of Sandusky, had the premises
cleaned up and held Memorial services

Editor National Tribune: The cap
italists of the United States going before
! legislative body usually secure the
legislation that they require; or, per-
haps better expressed, that they want.
They attain their object by working to-
gether. The bankers of New York assist
the bankers of San Francisco, who are
as ably supported by the bankers of
New Orleans or Portland, Me. The
old soldier is not SO well organized. He
does not work in such perfect har-
mony with his comrades
For some years there has been aEi-
tated legislation to provide the Acoustf-
con for old soldiers who have lost their
hearing thru service. No concerted
action has been taken. A comrade in
California does not appeal to his Con-
sressman or Senator to introduce this
bill or to support bill introduced by
Congressman or Senator from New
York. The result is that while the Sur
geon-General has in rare instances con-
sented &c order an ACQUISITION, his usual
reply to the rank and file of the vet
Grams of Bull Run and Chickamauga is
that they have no appropriations for
this purpose. Why does he order an
ACQUISITION for one, and reply thusly
to another?
A bill is now in the hands of Senator
Warner and Representative Sherwood,
appropriating the sum of $1,000 for the
purpose of enabling the Surgeon-Gen-
eral TO purchase ACQUISITIONS for deaf
soldiers. 1t is not only a privilege, but
the solemn duty of every old soldier
who reads The National Tribune to
write Immediately to his Congressman,
and insist that they see both Senator
Warner and Representative Sherwood,
and insist that this bill be introduced
and passed without delay
few more years will glide into the
past, and Father Time, with his relent-
less scythe, Will have made such in
roads into the ranks of the old SOL
diers that there will be but few to be
benefited by this appropriation. Now
Is the time we want it; now is the
time when we want to again listen to
the prattle of the younger generation.

the thousand and one sounds that were
dear to US in years gone by. Write
