Kansas sent more soldiers to the war 1 ilan she had voters. George H. Thomas Post, Ho. 18, CSa- plnnati, has 724 members. There are thirty-three camps ol Hie Uuion Veterans' Union in the State of Ohio. Washington stood second as choice for next year's encampment, but the "boys" will get there again one of these days. There were upwards of 1,000 different company, battery, gun-boat, regimental, brigade, division and corps reunions held at Milwaukee during the Encampment. "Justice to the soldier cannot always be deferred. It must and will triumph." --Oliver P. Morton, H'ar Governor of In­ diana. The department encampments of the Union Veterans' Union and Ladies' Re- fiel tTiibh, of On 10, wfti be held; i t Findley, Ohio, Oct. 15 to 18. The membership of the Woman's Relief Corps exceeds 75,000. The organization expended during thepastytiar 184,770.70 in relief work. The old soldiers wish their boys to en­ list in the S. of V., not to learn of the war of their fathers that they too may learn to fight, but rather to learn that true patriotism and love of our whole oountry and our flag, that will make an­ other war impossible. Members of the Grand Army of the Re­ public have undertaken to raise f 100,- 000 for a club house for old soldiers, to be opened in Chicago during the World's Fair. The building is intended to be a home for the veterans, but to be used for purposes of the Exposition during its continuance. The Society of the Army of theCumber- land, at its recent meeting, elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: Presi­ dent, General W. S. Rosecrans; Corres­ ponding Secretary, General H. M. Cist; Recording Secretary, Col. JohnM. Steele; Treasurer, General Joseph S. Fullerton; Orator, General Gates P. Thurston; Al­ ternate Orator, J udge Albion W. Tpurgee. The next meeting will be held at Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 17 and 18, 1890. At the battle of Malvern Hill, Governor Vance, charging up the declivity with the shot rattling about him, and the bomb shells bursting in every direction, met an old hare, with ears back running for dear life. "Go it, Mollie Cottontail," ex­ claimed the Governor, "if I had't a repu­ tation to sustain , I'd be with you." "If any person, whether officer or sol­ dier, belonging to the ^militia of any State, and be called out for service of the United States, be wounded or disabled while in actual service, he shall be taken care of and provided for at public ex­ pense.--Sec. 1639, of Pension Laws, passed May 8,1702. There is a new law that will be of inter­ est to all soldiers wearing trusses. Every soldier in the Union army who was rup­ tured in the line of duty during the late war is entitled to receive a single or double truss, of such style as may be des­ ignated by the Surgeon General of the United States Army as best suited to such disability, and whenever such truss becomes useless from wear another truss will be furnished upon application, pro­ vided that such application is not more than once in two years and six months. Application must be made to Mftmining Burgeons for pensions. Commissioner Tanner is not in the Pension Office, but this does not mean that the Administration ha# changed an iota from the determination to deal justly with the veterans of the old Union army. The grateful recognition for the services of the men who risked their all in the hour of the country's peril is to-day, as in the past, an integral part of the Re­ publican platform. The party will stand by all its pledges given to the men who answered the call from 1861 to '65, just as it has pledged itself to do every year onse that event. The questions arising under the resignation of Mr. Tanner are personal, or related to the wise and legal administration of the difficult office, and in no sense a change of front upon the question of pensions-^-Intet-Ocesin. I believe in giving every Union soldier, his widow, or orphan who is in need, a pension, and giving it. to him or her as quickly as possible.--Commissioner Tan­ ner. And for each belief the gallant Corporal was subject to the most vile abuse and villiflcation, and in fact is yet, by all the soldier-hating papers in the country. The big concerns start the howl, and then all the small curs within three thousand miles send back the refrain that they have caught on and are anx­ ious to join in the chorus. See, "Young Bayonet Points ? Harvard Herald. "Death is steadily recriiiting from oar ranks.! In the year ending June last, a brigade of old soldiers and sailors num­ bering 4,696, marched across the invisi­ ble and shadowy line separating time from eternity, and pitched their tents on the other side. They walked through the valley and the shadow of death, fear­ ing no evil, looking back upon life with the proud consciousness of duty well per­ formed. Their eyes in death rested upon the old flag, their ears were enraptured with the music of prosperous industries blended with the peeans of lasting peace coming up from a free, united, happy people."-VoAn A. Warner. ;i is MMM* • XheLastGunof ths Wlr. Whep and where was the last gun of the war fired in Georgia? A number of answers given at the time, but the one that strikes me as most probably the correct one was given me in Savannah a day or two ago. I was walking up Broughton Street with a friend when he stopped and pointed across the street to a plain two story brick residence. "That, said he, was the home of Charles A. L. Lamar, as gallant a soldier as ever wore the Confederate uniform. He was killed by the last gun of the war fired ia Geor­ gia." "Where was that?" I asked him. "At Columbus. Evan Howell, of the Constitution, was near him at the time. It was the very last shot fired on Georgia soil.--rAtlanta Constitution. A Change of Weapon. Last winter I climbed Lookout Moun­ tain in company with a veteran of the late war. It was his first visit since the day of the memorable assault, and as we climbed he fought the battle over again for my benefit. As the conflict waxed hotter he grew excited, and on our ar­ rival at the hotel near the summit, was at fever heat. We then passed through tho narrow defile wh'ch leads to the pin­ nacle, where we were confronted by a di­ minutive specimen of the genus "cracker" with these words: "If you gentlemen wish to go to the top you must pay 25 cents." This was too much for the pent up feel­ ings of my warlike companion, who, tragically waving his stroqg right arm, shouted, "I won't pay it. Twenty-five years ago I came up here with a sword in my hand." But the modern Leonidas moving not otherwise than to display a deputy sheriff's badge, quietly remarked: "Well, sah, you must come up with a quarter, to-day." The money was paid. Bight aad Wrong. Just now a number of monuments are being erected and dedicated by our friends in the South in memory of those who wore the gray. This is right as far as friends would remember brave men who fought for what they believed was right at the time. But to place in endur­ ing granite and bronze the inscription, "They died for their country," and to laud "the lost cause" as right, is as much treason against our country and our flag as if,--as in the old days--they formed regiments and armies to destroy , that country and that flag. They were brave soldiers, but they fought and died in re­ bellion against their country. This we say "with malice towards none aad charity for all." We must teach our children to love our whole country. The inscriptions on Southern monuments are teaching some­ thing else. Let us stand by the right and condemn the wrong. Again on the Battle-Fisld. At Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 18„ the Army of the Cumberland met by the thousand on the old historic battlefields, and each one either really or metaphys­ ically 'Shouldered his crutch and showed how fields were woa." Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Orchard Knob and Cameron Hill, spots of tragic interest to those soldiers who fought on those historic spots, were thronged all day by eager thousands. A flag floated from Orchard Knob, where Grant stood and watched the Army of the Cumberland that glorious afternoon, when, a little skeptical of their fighting qualities, he asked them to take one line of works and they responded by taking three, and routed that "Confederate host which he had hoped to»hoId in check until Sherman and Hooker could fall upon and annihilate them. The exercises at the formal meeting of the Army of the Cum berland were of the usual order. It will be remembered that the battle of Chickamauga was fought on the 18th, 19th and 20th of September 1863. and an association was formed during this meeting, to be composed of soldiers who participated iu this battle, to be called the "Chieamauga Memorial Association." Henry Grier of the 17th Indiana was ac­ cidentally killed by agripoar during r e u n i o n * . -- ^ ,•> V* *.zM..,J The Wfeiaar. The men who made their foirtttiiai ing the time of the war by home and speculating upon th# ties of the times and the necessities government, are now the men whoe| whining because they are t'earftd tftitt the soldiers, the men who saved this <&H(ktry, the men who made ii; possible for* shilocks to enjoy the wealth tfaaa! tained, in a land of peace, will be only in part for the great sacrifice made in the loss of both wealth health in saving the country from naiii. These men who remained at home dur­ ing the war and grew rich are now title ones crying, "Hold, enough f TopeMsion the soldiers now will bankrupt the Gov­ ernment." Poor fools! Where would they and their wealth be now had all done as they did during the war? The man of to-day who is opposed to the Government dealing fairly with the men who saved the nation is not a good citizen. The man who is opposed to a fair and just treatment of the soldiers by the Government, is worse than a mean traitor. Old Soldiers la Session.' OwciNNATi, Ohio.--The Society at the Army of the Tennessee ir 01 with congratulations over the meeting held last night in Music Hall. Every member was emphatic in pndn of the splendor and fitness ol thedseoMtion as well as of the size and brilliance of the assembly gathered to do honor to the heroes of the Army of the Tennessee. At the business meeting to-day officers were elected as follows: President, General Wm. T. Sherman; Recording Secrtfeiy, Col. L. M. Dayton; Treasurer, GekMMtlit. F. Force; Corresponding Secretary, Gen­ eral A. Hickenlooper; Vice Presidents, Captain James A. Sexton, Lieutenaat A. H. Mattox, Lieutenant TheodoreLefctoa, Colonel William Vogelsang, Captain W. D. Andras, Colonel W. J. Landrum, Lieutenant C. T. Mattison, Col. Edward Jonas, Captain F. H. Magdaberg, Cap- Lewis Lambert, Colonel C. C. Kellogg. A resolution offered by General Green B. Raum asking favorable consideration by Congress of liberal pension laws was adopted. A resolution offered by Colonel V. 6. Fuller, relating to the recognition of tfc* military telegraphic corps, was adopted* THE BANQUET. Over 300 persons sat down at the ban­ quet of the Army of the Tennessee, at the Burnett House to-night. There was nearly an hour's delay in beginning the banquet, owing to the tardiness of tho florist in making arrangements. t« General Sherman, however, cat the feasting a trifle short in order to the speech making. It was 10:45, cen­ tral time, when the President, General Sherman, rapped for order and called few toasts. Before this, however, it is proper to mention that perhaps one-fourth of the guests at the banquet were ladies, the wives, daughters, or sisters of the members of the Army of the Tennessee. The President, General Sherman, sat at the center of the table at right angles to the tables at which the mu ltitude feasted. On his right sat General Howard ; on his left, General Dodge. Among others at this table were General J. D. Cox, General Force, General Clinton B. Fisk, General McArthur, and General Hickenlooper. At the tables amid the multitude were numerous generals, among them Noyes, Belknap, Kiefer, Buckland, and many others. Hie hall was beautifully deco­ rated. A bugle corps, a brass band, and a mixed vocal chorus afforded the masio for the occasion. The first toast, "The Campaign for At­ lanta," was responded to by General Sherman, in which he was brief, and in which he related only already known facts of the history of that memorable event. Next, came a poem by Captain 8* H. M. Byers, which produced a marked sensation. The third toast, "We Stormed the WHd Hills of Resaca; God bless those who Ml on that day," was responded to by 6ou Jacob D. Cox. The whole plan of the program of toasts, was to follow out the events 'tut they occurred on the famous Atlanta campaign. To the toast for "Dadas," Major A. M. ' Vandyke responded, and to "Kenesaw^" the fourth toast, Col. G. D. Hanson t*>| sponded. > Then came the fifth toast, "The Crow­ ing of the Chattahoochee," to which the Rev. David H. Moore, the editor of the IFestern Christian Advocate} responded. "The Battle of Atlanta," the sixth toast, was assigned to General 6. M. Dodge, and he responded to it very ac­ ceptably to the banqueters. '"Atlanta is ours and fairly won," tin seventh toast and the last, was taken ap by General Howard and treated mgtjr happily. Those present at the banquet were good listeners from first to last. The idea of fighting over again the Atlanta campaign in the arrangement of tto toasts was novel, attractive, and in every way successful. The list of toasts was* printed on an illuminated map of Geor­ gia, drawn on silk and embeBtiwl If hand painting. Each toast waa printed near the name of the town or ptjrm which it referred.
