A Large Pension. Commissioner of Pensions Raum on Friday, May 22, approved and signed a pension certificate in favor of John G. Hildt, Co. K, 1st Mich. This pension is for gunshot wound of the right arm which caused amputation of the same and nervouB prostration and insanity, and dates from 1862, for amounts varying from f25 to f72 per month. This certificate is the largest, in amount of first payment, of any previously issued by Commissioner Raum. Hildt has been an inmate of the Government insane asylum near Washington, since 1862, and an important question arises to whether the government should be mm bursed from this pension money for his care in the asylum since 1862. First Confederate Oun. The first gun made for the Confederate government is owned by Mrs. II. 1. Miller of this city. ' The gun was made by Mrs. Miller's father, W. S. McElwaine, at Holly Ppringn, Miss., in the summer of 1861, It was carried through a part of the war by a young man of Holly Springs, a friend of Mr. McElwaine. It had a rifled barrel, originally. About tt<*jmid- dle of the war the barrel was injured by a brill, and the gun was returned to Mr. McElwaine, who cut it off at the injured point and bored it for shot-gun. As seen by a Globe-Democrat reporter lately, it was in comparatively good condition. Mr. McElwaine was a native of Pitts- field, Mass., where ha learned the trade of a machinist. Afterward he worked in a gun factory in New York, and then moved to Sandusky, Ohio, where he en­ gaged in the foundry and machine busi­ ness. In 1859 he moved to Mississippi. In a crude way he began the foundry business, with two partners. .When the war broke out the company had a well- equipped establishment, and Jefferson Davis, being conversant with the prop­ erty, induced its owners to convert it into an armory. Small arms were badly needed and Mr. McElwaine having neither the machines nor patterns, went to work to produce them. He planned and made the necessary machinery for making stocks, barrels and borings, working out the patterns, Mid with his otfn hand made the first gun which his daughter now preserves. When the battle ot Shiloh was fought in 1862 the plant was turning out twen­ ty-five stands of arras a day and em­ ployed five hundred hands. The armory was afterward soUJ to tBe Confederate government tap'one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in addition to the sixty thousand dollars paid for arms up to i hat time. The plant was removed to Mason, Ga, After the evacuation of Corinth and vicinity by the Confederates, a raid was made and the building of Holly Springs set fire to and destroyed. After an eventful career the maker of the first Confederate gun died tn Chattanooga in 1872.

Unhappily suspicion fas­ tened upon the wrong man, and he was marked for destruction. News reached him upon his farm that the buffaloes were in pursuit of his head, aad he ar­ ranged with his wife a code of signals lor his protection. Again and again, by day and by nig^j his house was searched, but without cess. Many times he watched the seardfe. ing parties as they withdrew, disappoint ed, from the premises. Ora day he peculiarly narrow escape. A band of armed pen were seen proaching. Evidently they were after him again. He hastened from the house into the field, thinking himoalf uaseea} but his pursuers had caught «tygfet of him, and at once started i& pursuit. There waa no time to reach the woods, and in his extremity he crawled into a log which lay near the entrance to the field. ,! Hardly was he inside when bis swarmed into the field. "Where is he?** - "Where is he?" he heard one and anotfc- er ask. "We saw him run this way, and he hasn't had time to cross the field. He is hiding here somewhere, audi we ham him at last." r Some kept watch and the rest seare!i«<i ; the field. After a while all hands came together about the log, and some of them sat down upon it. One wouM shoot him at sight; another Jranted to hang him to a tree and riddle him wit& J bullets. No one suggested a trial, or the possibility of his innocence. |p The prisoner was almost afraid to breathe. Another search was made, his agony of suspense continued. In his < distress he prayed earnestly for prote©. tion. No one thought to look into the; £ log, and late in the afternoon the sound of the bell notified him that the coast was clear, and he might return to the house- Many years have passed.

In 1862 Gen. Bragg led a Southern army into Kentucky in the hope of re­ gaining that state for the Confederacy He had in his army many Kentuckians, who took advantage of the opportunity to set up a sympathic government at Frankfort, %> state capital. The regular government had fled to Louisville as Bragg advanced, and there was nothing in the way of carrying out the plan as soon ae Frankfort was held by a small body of Confederate troops. The ceremony of installing the new governor proceeded rapidly for the fed­ eral general, Buell, waa near at hand, and an attack on the small force at Frankfort was feared.. "I don't think I ever witnessed a more ludicrous scene than the conclusion of the exe rcMie^" sqid an ex-confeuerate who took part. "Humphrey Marshal was making a great speech inaugurating the new confederate governor. This' said he, noletnuly and impres- ively, 'is not to be a provisional govern­ ment. It has come to stay, and will last as long as the eternal hills that encircle us,land--' "At that moment a shell from the fed­ eral guns at Devil's Glen hissed over the town, proclaiming Buell's advance guard We were too few to give fight. Marshall's speech ended abruptly. Citizens ran for shelter, and in a few minntes, accom panied by the troops, Marshall's ever­ lasting government dissappeared in the mouth of the railroad tunnel, going toward's Bragg's army at Lexington."-- Yoptb* Companion. Oloie to Beater ̂ ' A Southern correspondent* sends a story of war times. In some parts of the South and especially in North Carolina, the horrors of war were greatly aggra­ vated by the strife between irregular or­ ganizations of Union and Confederate sympathizers, known respectively as Buffaloes" and "Guerrillas." Both or­ ganizations were composed of lawless men, and no ultimate good appears to have been accomplished by them, either for the North or for i he South. After Gen. Burnside's capture of Roa­ noke Island and Elizabeth City, things began to grow very uncomfortable for the buffaloes, who had made themselves obnoxious to their neighbors by many deeds of mischief. One of their acknowl­ edged leaders put his family into a buggy and set out for Elizabeth City. On the way he was met by a band of guerrillas, who called upon him to surrender. He knew that he could hope for no mercy if he gave himself up, and thinking that they might not fire upon his wife and children, he urged his horse forward, at the same time holding his infant child in front of himself as a shield.
