The 14th N Y. H. A. was organized
principally at Rochester from August
to September, 1863, and mustered out
Aug. 26, 1865. 1t was commanded by
Co.'s. Elisha G.. Marshall, West Point
er, all thru its service. The 18th was
one of the fighting regiments. On May
2, 1864, it started for the Rapidan with
Burnside, but was only partially en-
gagged at the Wilderness. AT Spotsyl-
vania and Cold Harbor, however. it lost
cessful charge on the works at Peters,
burg it lost 3S killed, 152 wounded and
60 missing. Mai. Job C. Hedges lost his
life while leading his battalion in this
charge. The 14th was selected to take
the advance in the assault at the Crater
at the Mine Explosion, and was the~first
to plant its ColorS on the works, cap
turing a Confederate flag. Its casual
ties on this occasion were 10 killed, a
wounded and rs missing. 1t lost men
daily when on duty in the trenches. At
the time of the Confederate sortie.
March 25, 1865, the 18th occupied Fort

Pensions.

j. w. Harrington. Captain, 9Th Tenn.
Cav, Redgranite, Wis, has some very
positive ideas as to pensions. He can
not understand why the veterans
should be put off when Congress could
appropriate $1,000, 100000 for pur-
poses most of which went to aggran-
diZcment He cannot see why there
should be any distinction between the
volunteer officers bill and the Sher-
wood dollar-a-day bill. The two sep
arate bills only serve to make compli-
cations. Very many of the volunteer
officers were men who came up from
the ranks, and many of those in the
ranks are entitled to as much cersid-
Grafton as those who received commits
sions His own experience was that
so far as hardships, dangers and ex-
posures were concerned, there was lit
tic difference between a private and a
commissioned officer. He served as a
private, Sergeant, Lieutenant and Cap
tain. AS a Sergeant he was in the rebel
prisons in Richmond and on Belle Isle,
and he does not doubt that many other
officers had similar experience. War
| Is exposure, hardship and danger
everywhere and all the time. He wants
to have all these various bills CONSOLE
dated into one good bill. He was near
70 when he made his first application
for pension. and now he is in need of
all that the Government can do. He
would like to hear from any of his old
comrades.
E. Galiton. Captain. 14th Conn.,, SO

has his heart saddened by the slowness
Of our country in granting the veterans
such aid as is their due. If We had
been as slow in responding to the coun-
trys call there would have been no
country and no Flag.

niger, MarysvilIe, Pa
The 49th Pa, one of the fighting
regiments, was organized at Harris
burg Oct. "a, 1861, and after serving
out two enlistments, mustered out
July Is, 1865. 1t was commanded by
Coils. Wm Fl. Irwin Thos. NJ HuIinss.
and Boynton J. Hickman in succession.
The 10Th was first assigned to Ham
cocks Brigade, of w. F. Smiths Divi-
sion, and thus shared in the brilliant
success which the brigade won at Will
iamsburg- In the Spring of 1863 the
regiment was transferred to the Third
Brigade, Sixth Corps, where it remain
ed during the rest of its service. The
49th, rather fortunate as to its loss in
previous battles, suffered terribly at
Spotsylvania, being one of the Il Sc
lected regiments of the ASA ulting col
unrn under Upton In that charge $50
of its men were cut down, and Col.
Hulfngs and Lieut.-Col. John p. Miles
killed At the "BIoody Angle it lost
heavily. Including the Wilderness and
Spotsylvania, the regiment lost All
killed and wounded out of the $50 who
crossed the Rapidan. 1t belonged to

1913 killed and 1853 from disease, etc.

PENSION LEGISLATION,
An Ohio Cemrade Gives a Plain T,

Editor National Tribune. A few
words, If you please, In regard to pen
sion legislation, etc. Every old soldier
Of Rings Post, 637. @. A.. R., and all
others in our district are unanimously
IN favor of The National Tribune PEN
sion bill, and are all in favor of John
AcElroy for Commander-in-Chief of
the G. A r. Now, then, so much so
good; but there is very much dissatis-
faction existing here among the old
veterans In regard to how the Senate
and House have ignored the old SOL
diers during this term of Congress, but
now that Congress has adjourned we
hear and read great many speeches of
senators and Representatives, who are
all very much in favor of a liberal penn
sion bill. Why? Simply because they
are now getting on their trotting har-
ness and brushing up for the race for
reelection. OF course, they can't do
enough for the old soldiers now; they
have an ak Of their own to grind. Why
did they not do something for the old
veterans while Congress was in session.
and why not do away with all the
county Boards of Examiners who to-
day amount to but little more than
nothing, and if Congress would do away
With all those Examiners and give the
money that is paid to them to the sol
diers and widows who need it. this
would do away with all pension legis-
lation in that Hne, and the money
saved IN that way would almost pay
half the sI-a-day pension. Talk about
economy. Congress appropriates large
SUMS of money for things that are not
80 urgent and could wait year or two,
but the old soldiers are counted as back
numbers, and come in the last thing ON
the program. Congress must not think
that the old boys are ignorant of what
Is going on in Washington, for there is
scarcely an old veteran but knows Just
what is said and done in the Senate and
House We also know who the men
are who are in favor of the passage of a
liberal pension bill So far as L am
concerned, I do not find much fault as
yet with President Taft's Admfnistra-
ton, but there are quite a number of
the old boys who declare that they will
not cast their ballots for Taft again.
We need some good speaker UP here
In Williams County this Summer who
can arouse little patriotism. We have
a few insurgents up here who are try
ing to kick up little mlfss and should
be knocked out.
] hope that there is better day COM
ing for those who will live long enough.
Now, to sum up the whole affair in a
nut shell, it is like the old Dutchman
said: 1T is all talk and no cider I
am only 73 years old, and cannot stand
manual labor at all. Many others IN
the same boat.-SamueI G. Brown, Co.
