Late of the Thousand Island IU We now are closing ont ft of caps at 26 to 150 cents on tife fffift Colby, orgaiilaaiion means business a/d cannot fall to awaken a hearty re- jjUnse froia all true patriots. The vet Frans have been entitled to. and have reely accepted whatever benefits In the way of bounties, lands, pensions, and other advantages that the Gov­ ernment ha* granted them, hut they n*ver as yet hav« struck a united blow for the partv that has secured thete benefits, and protected thorn tu the enjoyment of ths same. Although nearly twenty years have etap»ed since the war. this will be the the first thorough organisation of vete­ rans for political purpose. The time is auspicious for such an organization. There is an unqueatiened demand for the same, and at this season of the year the comrades hare leisure time to take up this waik. The organization ia attended with trifling expense; the meeting will be public,and practical questions of the day will be dtscupned, the ground Ipokrr ed over to ascertain what there is TO do and speoiAc woFk assigned to each comrade. It Is estimated these are over a mil­ lion Union Veterans quite equally dis­ tributed oyer the Northern States. If t'jis army could be efflcidntly organized and each, comrade thoroughly perform the work assigned to him, there will be no question as to the result. This organization being primarily for service in political campaigns it wil| only require a special eflort te effect an organization for the coming cam pafgn, after which time it will be pracr ticaily an organization on paper and reqnire no time or attention from its organizers until another political campaign. It will prove a benefit to the G. A. K in the subsequent organization of Grand Army Posts from the veterans who haye thus been brought together and made acquainted with each other, «ud who wetfld naturally 'desire to keep HP tlje social and fraternal relations which can uo where be done so well as through the pleasing and practical oereiuanay of the G. A. R, It Is confidently expected that every veteran will oonsider himself a eom? ralttee of one to effect this organisa­ tion for his township and eoantv, and 0111101* send a request to the under­ signed for appointment as recruiting officer for his township, or write for blanka upon which to secure the signa­ ture of as many vet*fans In his town­ ship as passible, or take the responsi­ bility of easing * meeting or caucus, by persona! invitation or by postal notice, of veterans Inhlc township, to consider the adviaabtllty of organ­ ising a Veteran Olub for their town­ ship and county. Such a preliminary can certlnly do no harm) I twill be a benefit in bringing the veterans te/ether, forming and renewing acquaintance, and result in a mutual understanding between tho comrades if no tiling more. I should be pleased to correspond Wftli, and se«id the necessary doc­ uments te any of tho oomrades who contemplate taking the Initiative In Ihis matter.

V*tl» OSFEORGANIZING AND JLFTYTLERIHFL OFFIN9RT CHICAGO UNION VETERAN (HUB. !•" H-.. J Chicago Journal, March llth. > MOSN ASn rOKTKR, TWS ftouse bill providing for the re­ storation of Fltz Jolih Porte" to the United States army, and of course for the nullification of the rerdlct ren­ dered b) the court martial twenty*«na years ago, comes up as a special or#or in the United State* 8enate to-day. During two terms of congress General Logan suoceeded In organising sueh opposition to similar bills for the rein­ statement of Porter as to secure ' tlieir defeat. He will labor with as much zeal to defeat the pending bill, but with less probability of success. It has already passed tho House,, where there Is a large Democratic majority, and in the senate will probably re­ ceive the support of Mahona and Rid- die burger of Virginia, who. on most questions, vote with tlie 'Republicans, |ad, f#r some inscruta and unanswerable arguments In former debates fgajnst mand of the Army of the Tennessee. Had Logan waited for (ho word of command, as lie could easily %nd obe- diently have done, Howard would have been disgraced as a military leader and Logan would have been avenged. But at whoso expense? At that of thous* ands of brave soldiers. Innocently, slaughtered, and Incalculable reverse to the Union cause, With the sounds of rebei yells anlf rebel guns in front, he did not wait for orders, but mounting his horse, and without waiting oven to put on Ills coat, or to be accompained by his staff, he galloped down the line< shouting. "Fall In!" * Forward !,v Wheti the men answeted,*'Where is onr regi­ me nt?" "Where are our officers?" ho uttered expletives not (ound In the Book of Common Prayer, and repeated l|is commands. "Fall In T' "ForwardF An Iowa officer, who took as honorablo part in the battle, said of it: The Confederates could not with­ stand the sudden, unexpected, resist­ less charge of Logan; and although they fought desperately to maintain the advantage gained by their hard righting, they were soon in confusion and swept from the ffeid. Our lines W<>re re-established and the day wa* won. Twice did the enemy re-form and come hark to the attack, but wore each time repulsed. An Illinois officer In the Seventeenth Array Corps thus wrote of what he saw after this battle of the 38th of July, fought by Logan without orders: I went over the ffeld to witness the effects of the terriffc musketry wtilall wo heard from our position on the left of Logan's command, J never saw tbg dead lying thicker on any battlefield. I remember well the dead of the 'I hlr, tielh Louisiana Regiment, The Col­ onel. Lieutenant Cofonel and Major all lay about equal dlsUik>e aparl. with so many of tiiir m»ih)fM|i between (hat the lines could ho readily trfcp^d. At this point on the field 1 saw where sap­ lings two and four inches in diamotor had been cut of} by musket, balls. In a com-Held about 2<X) yards in frout of Logan's line, the crop of growing eoru had been mown by musket shots as thoroughly as if it had boon cat by scythes. I was told at the time that this portion of the field was In front of the Iowa brigade commanded by Gen. George A. Stone, and co-islsted of fcha Fourth. Ninth. Twenty-fifth, Twentj- sixtti, Thirtieli aud Thirty-first Reg­ iments of Iowa Infantry. This Is a brief statemaatof tha con­ duct of General John A. Logan under circumstances calculated to test his pQr triotism.

Remember, Fltz Johu Porter had nefancied or real grievance against Qoi|*ral Pope, who had succeeded Mc Clt-llan in command of the Army of the Potomac. Porter waa dissatisfied bspau»e of this cliauge of commanders and, in full hearing of tho guna which told tljif owu story of the engagement and ullUhate reveres of the Union army, deliberately disobeyed repeated orders sent him to advance. Contrast this insubordination, which eaused the needles* death of thousands of Union soldiers at Bull Run, with the conduct ot General Logan in frout of Atlanta On the 2S<I of July, l{B(j4. General James B. llpPhersen, commander of the Army of the Tennessee, was killed about mid-day in the heat of tlje battle at Atlanta, Ga. Tho command fell upon General John A. Logan' until then at the head of the Fifteenth Army Corps, as senior officer. He took up the directions of the battle wlier# the brarp He Phersoii had laid it down, and. with Sherman a dozen miles away, ipon P»c ef the most brilliant victories which had been achieved by Union arms. By right or seniority and most successful leadership In battle, ho was clearly entitled to the continued command of the At my of the Tennessee, for re a sons never satisfactorily explained. Genera! Sherman saw fit to transfer General 0. O. Hovtard from tba Army of the Cumberland to the command of tlie Army ef tl)e Tonpessee. Here was cause for dissatisfactjpn and disponent. All through tho Arq)/ of thft'fenuesi** imprecations, }ouU and deep, were uttered against sucji u||uirent Injustice to a poipinaiicier who earppd, but could fj.qt wear, his honors. A word or look of pnooorsgemeift from Logan would have led to r>pon resistance to the u£W commander. That word or look of encouragement to Insubordin­ ation nevef came. He could have asked to be relieved, or could have resigned, as did Joe Hooker and John M. Palmer. He did neither. He went bapk to the command of his old corps, the Fifteen­ th, and. Six days afterward, at the bat­ tle ef Ezra t'linrch. on the 28th of July, gave such an exhibition of manly gen­ erosity and military heroism as Is rarely recorded in military annals. On that lay the Fifteenth Corps was hi reserve. It was a pew position for commander and followers. The arms of tlie troops were stacked in line ef battle en the color line, with cartridge-boxes hang­ ing en the bayonets. About noon the Confederate army made a sudden aud igprotis charge along the entire Tront line opposite the Fifteenth Corps, and at the same time a strong column struck the extreme right of tho front line of the Union army at right angles aud In reverse. The charge was so sudden and well sustained that 'the1 Union line was doubled up and the de­ fenses were abandoned r»pldly.

WASH (KOTOW, March 7.--Most notice able among the Presidential candidates at present adjourning at tho capital la John A.

Deep, strong and uitehaiige- able in hla convlctlona, no man In this oountry la so misrepresented and little understood, exaapt by those who moat him and know by personal contact th* etibio measure of hla character. Im­ pulsive |n thought |i|d Instantaneous In aotion, ho never ateps to calculate tho consequence's ffjieq his eoasciunce tolls him ho Is In the right. ai)d he knows he Is acting from hfs own high sense of personal honor, for ha scorns the crafty devices which mauy men of this age use to climb iota places of honor and power, Ui|liko many of his brother Sanaters. who oame to tho Sou- ate with no other visible means of sup port, and who now count their dollars by the million, he lives to-day in the same unpretending style, in the satp# boarding house which he and hla ac­ complished wife have occupied for sev­ eral years of the past. It is a well-known fact to those who dwell at the capital that every Senator is more or less tempted. And such is General Logan's determination to keep his honor unsullied that he employs r.o private secretary (to use the cemmoi) slang), who "can sell hiiq out** or "give liim away." Tlie private secretary has the Satanio.power to ruin a public man if he so chooses; and many an ofljjdffc) lias felt his political foi|ii<fatioii sinking away without apparent cause; for chjs eason. General Logat) has fortified his position by intrusting his wife alone to open all letters which of necessity can­ not be cared for by himself. I|ep aei|l and ability have resulted in giving her prominence in a certain direction which she has i|0ver deserved. Beauti­ ful in person, and with a meat engaging presence, sl)0 has that rare faculty of drawing every man and woman to her Side. If she has patiently taken time to lool> UP authorities and records for her husband, her mission ended here, for no being ever constructed a sen­ tence of the forcible .«peech*s of Gen­ eral Logan hut the statesman himself.
