Ere this shall appear In print the Old Illinois Regiment of Infant* ry volunteers will have re-uned once more at Belvldere. The date fixed for the Re-Union this year was May 34th, There are several members of this Regiment living in this vicinity, and altogether perhaps 36 In the county, that belonged to it at some time during the war. We oould not get a report of the aftair In time for this week's issue but will try and lurnlsh the best account possible next week. How earnest Jeff Davis Is In "Inau­ gurating an era of conciliation and sectional fraternity" may be gathered from hie speech at Homerville, Ga, He said:] I always tried to do my duty, and If the people of the South think I did my duty. I am satisfied, and 1 don't care wliat Yankees say. 1 have nothing to ask of them, not even a pardon, for he who seeks a pardon must profess re pentance. 1 have not repented. The only thing I am sorry for is that we did .not succeed.--National Tribune. The President's veto and its accora panying strictures on private pension bills would be sound and right if his premises were good. He leaves,out ot consideration the root of the whole evil--the absurd and unjust technlcttl- isin of the Pension Bureau which in the past has denied soldiers their rights , and compelled them to seek relief Irom Congress. So long as the ^tof j^on Bureau tuade H mote difficult for a soldier to prove his riglit to pension than it would be to convict a man of a felony, recourse to Congress was necessary.--National Tribune. Pensioner* be on Your Ouard. Once more we would warn widows and dependents ol deceased soldiers against paying any attention to circu­ lars, letters, vr any printed matter coming to them from any Bourse, rela­ tive to aiding in securing the increase of pensions, from eight to twelve dollars per month, dating from March 20th, 1886. No agent or attorney Is necessary, nor will such be recognized in theso cases. Do not pay out a cent to secure the Increase, for your voucher will be either changed or arranged so that you will have no trouble whatever whin the June payment is due. In some cases it may cause a few days de> lay, yet It Is not intended.now that it will. When Jell Davis says It was the people and not the leaders who brought on the war he tells a false* hood, as lie usually does when he thinks an ^untruth will serve his pur­ pose bitter than the truth. The truth Is. a great majority of the people of every state in the South--except South Carolina--were strongly op­ posed to secession, and so expressed themselves by their votes. But the representatives they sent to Legisla­ tures and Conventions were du,>ed and misled by such scoundrels as Jeff Davis and led to take the steps that brought on the war. Then State pride and State honor were artfully misused to commit the whole people to diunlon.-- National Tribune . . A Relic ot tiie (fsr. A bomshell, doubtless iff red by the Federals during the late nneiiilacss at the person or property of some South­ eme r. came near doing its destructive work In Capt. H.S, Freeman's saw-mill. The circular saw was plowing through a large white oak log, perhaps the hardest wood that grows |»|our forests, when it struck a still harder substance, which broke its teeth and suddenly stopped Its progress. Upon examina­ tion ttiey foqnd buried in the stock, to the depth of at least eight Inches, a large percussion bombshell, which, ac­ cording to the calculation of those familiar with the growth of timber, had been there sixteen or seventeen years, and the tree had grown over it until there was but a alight scar left. Fortnnately, the saw htruck the shell, which still contained its load, so as to cause no explosion.--*itor»»inirAa»'i (Ata.) Ag«. ;.4sk Senator Beck says that ff hfnad supposed 10 per cent of tbe back pen­ sions paid would be fraudulent he would not have voted for the bill. Well there Is«not that percentage of fraud or tenth of It, but supposing there was. Suppose we march ten old soldiers Into the Senate Chamber, ail of tbem disabled; It Is known that all but one ol them have just claims to pension, which ilthTb^usTne is not known and may not be discovered by the Pension Bureau. What shall we do about it, Senator, send them all away and say, 4'yes, we owe nine of you a support but because to pay you will Involve! paying a tenth man who is unworthy, you will have to go and starve: better have nine old soldiers out of every ten defrauded by the gov­ ernment they suffered for. than have that government defrau4ed> #y the other one?"' ... The total sum that had beeh patdl to Invalid pensioners since the existence of our government up to June 30th. 1880 amounted to t647.241.336.57. %Bnt the total sum, paid to the bond-holders during the same period for interests alone, reached the stupendous figure of .105,630,^21.61. Whoever doubts our assertions should read page 69, of Spofford's Almanac, whioh Is an ac­ knowledged authority on such matters. These official figures are a stronger ar­ gument than auything else we?could say In opposition to the malicious howls of the bondholders organs and tbeir heartless, persistent efforts to create an inimical public sentiment against the poor invalid pensioners who sacrificed their limbs and healtii and thereby' helped to make the U. S. bonds as good as they are. Comrade Van Dervoort said at the Grand Army Encampment at Cleve­ land that Instead of Jeff D&vls being taken to the Identical spot where lie took the oath as President of the Southern Confederacy, he should have been taken to the midst of Anderson* ville Cemetery and hanged by the neck until he was dead and had pissed away to the spot Where the "fire burns forever." that he was responsible for the mls< ry, starvation and wo of An* der*OQvlUe and Salisbury, and that it wa< a shame and disgrace that children should be brought heavily laden with flowers to do^Wra, honor in his trlum phal progress throughout the South: that he should while he Mlved be haunted by the spirits of the skeleton dead who perished in the poisonous prison pens of the Souty. These sen- timints were applauded to the echo.-- Afationcrf Tribune. A Bounty D.el.1-^ I ' . ̂ 4 * • * derea an important decision under tho additional bounty act of July 28,1SG6. The decision Is to the effect that every soldier who enlisted after April 14,1861 for a period ot not less than two years and^was honorably discharged after serving two years for the purpose of enabling him to accept a commission. Is entitled to the additional bounty of •50 authorized by the 13th section of that act, provided he was not entitled 'to any greater bounty than 9100 under the laws existing at the date of the passage of the act, and provided his claim was filed in time. Tbe act of 1866 authorised the Secre­ tary of War to prescribe rules and reg* ulations for the payments the bounty therein provided for, and one of the rules prescribed by that officer reads as follows: The provisions of the act exclude from its benefits those discharged dur­ ing enlistment by way of favor. It has hitherto been held that this rule preclude I the payment of add! tlonal bounty to a soldier discharged for promotion, even though he had served for a period exceeding two years before being promoted. The Controller has decided that soldiers who were discharged for promotion were not discharged by way of favor within the meaning of the rule, and hence that a soldier who discharged for promotion, after serving two years as an enlisted man. Is entitled to $60 bounty under said act. If all other con­ ditions imposed by the law are fulfill ed. This decision Is not applicable to any claims for such additional bounty which were not filed until after July 1, 1880, the time for filing such claims having expired by. limitation on that day. Another Kflfort Vor Jasllce, Senator Logan offered an amendment to the Mexican pension bill. It repeals the restriction upon the payment of arrears of pensions to soldiers and sailors of the war of the rebellion In respect to claims filed prior to July 1, 1888. It conff rs the right to a pensfon upon persons disabled from any cause other than their own careless or vicious conduct, who served three months. If they,are dependent for support upon their own labor. It Increases the pen­ sion of minor children from 92 to 95 per month, and continues such pensions without limit to age to those or un­ sound mind or who are physically help­ less. It Increases the rate for total loss Of hearing from #13 to $30 per ny>nth and proportionately for inferior degrees. It Increases tbe rate for to­ tal helplessness to 972 a month for all persons who "would have been entitled to said sum had they been on the pen­ sion rolls at 950 per month." and gives to this class arrears from tbe date when they became entitled to |60 to that of the passage of this act, and thereafter a pension at the rate of 9100 per month. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to plaoe upon tbe pen­ sion roll all Union survivors of the late war who were prisoners for 30 daysiand Me now suffering from disability PS- % ?£y-' ' • •• NO. 45 21 til "which can reasonably be presumed" to result therefrom, at the rate now provided for similar disabilities. It directs the Third Auditor of the Treas­ ury to pay. upon proper record evi­ dence, to all who were prisoners of war for 60 days-or more the sum of 93 for each and every day of their con­ finement. The pension for the loss of one hand or one foot is fixed at 930 a month, for the loss of a limb at the el­ bow or knee at 936, at the shoulder or hip joint at 945, for the loss of both legs or both arms, or the sight ol both eyes, at 9100. The bill provides that pensions granted by special acts shall be plsced upon the same footing In every respect as pensions under tbe general law,--National Tribune. Charges ot Deaevtioa, The following bill has passed Houses of Congress, and only awaits the signature of tbe Presi lent to be­ come a law: AN ACT to remove the ebarge of de» sertlon frem the rolls and records In the office of the Adjutant-General of the Army against certain soldiers. Be it enacted by the Senate and House oj Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem­ bled. That the charge of desertion now standing on the rolls and records in the office 01 the Adjutant-General of the Army against any soldier who served in the late war of the rebellion, by rea* son of his having enlisted In any regi­ ment, troop, or company without hav­ ing first received a discharge from the regiment, troop, company In which he had previously served, shall be remov­ ed In all cases wherein it shall he made to appear to the satisfaction of the Secretary of War, from such rolls and records or from other satisfactory tes­ timony. that such re enlistment was not made for the purpose of securing bounty or other gratuity thtt he would uot have been entitled to had here* mained under his original term of en­ listment: Provided. That no soldier shall be relieved uuder this act who, not being sick or wounded, left his command, without proper authority, while the same was iu the presence of the enemy, or who, at the time of leaving his command, was In arrest or under charges, or In whose case the period of absence from the service ex­ ceeded three months. Sec. 2. That in all cases where the charge of desertion shall be removed under the provisions ol this act, the Adjutant-General of the Army shall issue to *ut*h soldier, or. In case of his death, to his heirs or legal representa­ tives. a certificate of discharge from the regiment, troop, or company In lief under this act shall 1>2 made and filed with the Secretary of War sgi$jjgg ^ within a period of five years from and ifter its p&^gtge, aud ail applications not so made and filed within such period of five years shall not be receiv­ ed or considered; and all acts and parts of acts Inconsistent with the provision of this act are herebv repealed. *• M ••m Gen. Whltakerttnd thm Spent RatL A spent ball, striking with a dull* thud like a 8'one thrown by some strong-armed man. often caused more pain to the man struck, and more commotion in the ranks, than a bullet ' that tore through a man's leg or arm, A spent ball always "slipped up" 00 you. It always came when least you expected It, from an unlooked for di­ rection. and struck a part of the body not expecting to be hit. So It always produced a stunning effect. In some regiments spent bails were universally called •'stunners'" aud very many men had painful and uncomfortable experi­ ences with them. Some day the men lounging in line of battle, protected by a hill, and listening to the volleys on the right, would be disturbed by tbe contortions of a man who had teen asleep. A spent ball had strode his foot and, without breaking the shoe leather, had made him crazy with pain. Another would be hit in the region of the stomsch and labor under the impression that his entrails bad been torn out. Another, struck on the hand, would yell like an Indian, whereas had a bullet gone through hla body, he would have shut hi< lips and uttered not a groan. The hoys had a theory that these spent balls came from the awkward squad of the enemy, and that the air op a little distance was full of them. The spent balls were no respectoro of persons. They demoralised men In shouider-strape as well as men in b.ouses. At Chlska- mauga, Gen. Whitaker, storming for- » ward at the the head of his brigade, was struck In the abdomen. Deathly sick and faint, he called to General Granger: "General, I am hit In a bad place.-- Who'll take charge of my boys?" Granger replied; ,4Pll do It.myselff* and sorrowfully sent his favorite Bri­ gadier to the rear. Whltaker|rld!nf along rearward, concluded to see tbe extent of his wound. Unbuttoning his coat he found no blood. Under­ clothing were not stained or punctur­ ed. There was no wound In the flesh* Realizing that he had been hit by ft spent b dl, Whitaker wheeled his hone and in a towering rage galloped beck to the scene of battle. Dashing up to : the commander of the reserve, he roar* ed, 'Tm not wounded worth a damn; I'll run this brigade myself,1* and ho did. .o-vr. , --r - S'l ' ' 1!gg^ ."-ft '->^3 • ,^4 .For Sal* ^ I offer lor sale my Farm of 110 acres, situated 3 miles from Ricinhond, known as the old Newcombe Faraa; one half mile from school house, and with a living spring running throngh It, Kilos * Richmond.
