For their benefit this notice is made, and further information can be obtained of A. Henshel, Secretary, 82d 111., 426 W.Randolph street, Chicago. The First "Tank" in Richmond. William J. Ladd, who received from Harvard this year the degree of Bachelor of Arts, was the first Union man to enter Richmond, it is claimed, at the close of the civil war. He had passed his entrance examinations when that struggle bejgan but instead of going through college he enlisted, and made a good record. This atory about the Confederate capitol is tiius told: "I was in the capitol Grounds at Richmond as early as 5:30 a. m., the first Uaion soldier fcf <»$?« - saw no flag on the capitol at that time. After looking about the grounds and vicinity for a few minutes, and realizing that I was alone in the city, I rode back toward Rocketts, and when near there met a white Union cavalryman--the first Union soldier I had seen in Richmond that morning. We tied our horses, took a skiff and rowed to a rebel warship in the James, and captured the two Con­ federate flags then flying upon her". I pulled down the larger flag, the cavalry­ man the smaller one, and we rolled them up and tied them to our saddles. These were the first and only flags of any kind --Federal or Confederate--that I saw in Richmond that morning. I . still (1887) have this flag. Soon after we secured these flags the vessel blew up." "The clerk at the Grand Pacific Hotel at Chicago, referring to Gen. Sherman's well-known dislike to being interviewed, tells how an enterprising reporter called on the General at a very late hour, and sent up his card by a bell-boy. "Tell him I have gone to bed and can't see him," was the word sent by the General. "You go back to General Sherman," said the enterprising reporter, "and tell him that I have been detailed to interview him by the business manager of our paper, and I propose to do it if I have to climb over the transom." When he received this message old Tecumseh sat up in bed, Scowled a moment, and then recognizing the futility of his disinclination to be in­ terviewed, growled: "Tell, him to oome on and do his level best."

At the last monthly meeting Of the Union .League Club of New York City, Charl& G. Eddy, of Roanoke, Va., who accompanied General Sherman on his march to the sea and through the Caro­ lines as telegraph operator and de­ cipherer of cipher dispatches, presented the club through its President, Chauncey Depew, with the autograph dispatch in which Gen. Sherman demanded the sur­ render of Gen. Joe Johnston's army near Raleigh, N. C., April 26, 1865. The dis­ patch reads: I have replies from Washington to my communication of April 18. I am in­ structed to limit my operations to your command, and not to attempt civic ne­ gotiations. I therefore demand the sur­ render of your army on the same terms as were given to General Lee at Appo­ mattox an April 9 inst., purely and simply. . W. T. SHERMAN. Mr. Eddy says that this dispatch was handed him by General Sherman in Gen. Grant's presence, with orders to wire to Gen. Kilpatrick at the front with the re­ quest that he forward it by flag of '.truce to General Johnston. After it was^sent he asked and obtained from General Sherman the privilege of retaining the original. Now, since his old commander is dead, he desires to have it framed and hung under the portrait of Gen. Sherman in the Union League Club's gallery. Benedict Arnold and Jeff DAVIT Gov. Gordon, in his appeal for n Na­ tional monument to Jeff Davis, says that "his services will yet command the re­ spect of his countrymen." This reminds us of another prominent traitor, who did his country a thousand-fold mope service in the field than Jeff Davis ever did, and inflicted upon her a million-fold less harm. We refer to Benedict Arnold, who was the ablest lieutenant Washing­ ton had, and rendered brilliant service on many battle fields. The worst that he did was to try to sell out West Point to the British for a major-general's com­ mission and f30,000 in money. He af­ terward commanded several marauding expeditions against us, and burned some little towns in Connecticut and Virginia. Thus it will be seen that Arnold's offense against the country was quite venial compared to Davis'. Washington made special efforts to capture Arnold, and several attempts came near being suc­ cessful. A British officer asked an Amer­ ican what would be done with Arnold if he was captured. "We would cut off the leg which was wounded in the assault of Quebec," was the answer, "and bury it with the honors of war. The rest of his body we should hang on the highest gal­ lows we could build." Davis commanded regiment of volunteers lor about a Jpaar, and was slightly wounded inoae ot the two battles in which i* was Arnold was the soul of the army H| {He North during the first five years «# il* Revolution. He helped capture the first forts taken from the British, he made a splendid campaign against Quel which is still the admiration of all mill tary stndentB, and only failed success was impossible: he .fought a perate naval battle on Lake ChampUd^ • he displayed great gallantry and ability in a battle which he fought with vastly superior force near Danbnry, Conn., and he was the life and controlling spirit ilk the campaign by which Burgojne wa^; j whipped into, surrendering. If serviced i to the country deserve a monument, Arnold should have one which would b^#s§^ as much higher than .Da vis' as the Wash- ington Monument is higher than a tomb- *k stone in a country -rch»lehyard. If w# , are going to build monuments to traitors^- ^ Benedict Arnold has the right of prece».'>*! dence over Jeff Davis by long odds. ^ ' --.Vafiona/ Tribune. ™ ,, ;! ____________ . f? •A&ii'. ?
