A Plea for Pensions.

]. E. Lewis gives a forcefuI plea foI
pensions to the Chicago Daily News, in
the course of which he says:
For SO days 1 stood on the firing
lines of the Army of the Potomac ou,
of the three years and three months
service in that army with the old Penn
sylvania Reserve Division, commanded
by such men as Mccall, Meade. Double
day, Ord, Crawford and others of re-
nown, a division that mustered at the
beginning of the war $4,000 men, and
which mustered out at Harrisburg, In
June, 1864, less than 1900 men; divi-
sion that went into the battle of Fred
ericksburg on Dec. 13, 1862, only 4,50C
strong and that left on that field 1,S00
men after an hour and 20 minutes OF
fighting. ! say that the service per
formed by these men was of more value
to this Government than all the service
given by the Civil Service men in the
State of Illinois since the ending of the
war.
"The writer of this letter received an
injury in one of the battles Of the Army
of the Potomac which has caused him
pain and trouble ever since, and he
draws a pension of s24 a month, not
$40, as was advocated for the Civil Ser

At Hancock's Headquarters.

The cheering was so loud and pro-
longed that IL iioated on the still May
evening air over a mile beyond to
where Lees men were lying behind
their intrenchments in nervous expecta-
ton of a renewal of the sanguinary con-
flict. They sprang up, musket in hand,
and began pouring volleys into the tan
gle of brush and vines, which their ex-
cited imagination peopled with charg-
ing Yankees. Gen. Porter goes on to
say:
When Hancock's headquarters were
reached the party remained with him
for some time, awaiting the arrival of
the head of Warren's troops. Hancock s
wound received at Gettysburg had not
thorOly healed, and he suffered such in
convenience from 1t when in the saddle
that he had applied for permission to
ride in a spring ambulance while on the
march and when his troops were not in
action. He was reclining upon one of
| the seats of the ambulance, conyersing
! with Gen. Grant, who had dismounted
and was sitting on the ground with his
! back against a tree, whiting "A stick
when the sound of firing broke forth
directly in front. Hancock sprang up.
seized his sword, which was lying near
him, buckled il around his waist and
cried MY horsei My horse.' The scene
was intensely dramatic, and recalled
vividly to the bystanders the cry of
Richard III on the field of BOsworth.
Grant listened a moment without chang
ing his position or ceasing his whiting
and then remarked: 'TheySare not fight
ing; the firing is all on one side. 1t takes
two sides to start a fight In a few
minutes the firing died away, and ii
was found that the enemy was not ad-
vancing. The incident fairly illustrates
the contrast in the temperaments of
these two distinguished soldiers"

strongly against the maudlin sentiment
which would obliterate the distinction
between patriotism and treason, and it
deprecates the growing tendency by our

sentiment in the South by appointing
