Seventeen posts were rep­ resented by over two hundred delegates and post commanders. All unmarked soldiers' graves will be provided with headstones by the gov­ ernment. Any .person knowing of such Another Voice for Justice. The time seems to have about come when wo, aft old soldiers, may expect to receive in a measure what is justly due us from the government we helped to save. For a number of years our pros­ pects were not very promising, and our rights seemed to be relegated to the rear With a majority in congress controlled by those who had been our avowed enemies on many a bloody battle field, we, of course, could not and did not expect much at their hands. But to their credit it can be said that they were less impar­ tial and were willing to do more for us than did the man whom they elected to the high office of President. Numerous bills were passed by the so-called South­ ern Brigadiers, benefitting the old soldier, and most of them were vetoed by a man who had never been south of Mason and Dixon's line and scarcely been beyond the borders of the great loyal state of New York. But now, we are glad to say, a happy change has come all along the line: Our temporary "Bull Run"has ter­ minated in a victorious "Gettysburg" as it did during the war. One of our own number is in command. Congress will be in the hands of our friends, and we have every reason to expect that justice will be done, and it wil^never be done solong as a single old soldier is permitted to be in want of the necessities of life, or is per­ mitted to die a pauper. Much has been done for them, but more remains to be done. We shall expect a rich and gener­ ous government to respond in a liberal manner. This is, and will be our plan of reducing the surplus which has •Worried both of the old parties so much. Why should any old soldier suffer and be in want with our treasury groaning with money ? And no statesman in this country wise enough to devise means to get rid of it.

He will see that they are properly attended to. The Rev. Peter Wallace, a presiding elder and prominent minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been appointed chaplain of the Soldiers and Sailors' Home at Quincy. He "served in the Seventy-third Illinois Infantry, and was in command of the regiment at Stone River. He is 76 years of age. At the Illinois Encampment, held at Springfield, Feb. 20 and 21, the follow­ ing-named department officers were elected: Commander, James S. Martin; Senior Vice Commander, H. S. Dietrich, Chicago; Junior Vice Commander, D. E. Munger, Princeton; Chaplain, George W. Gue, Rock Island; Medical Director, Dr. P. L. McKiiiney, Moline; Council of Ad­ ministration, William Clendenin, Moline; N. B. Thistlewood, Cairo; William Vena- ble, Macomb; J. F. Harral, Aurora; O. F. Avery, Pontiac. , The Department of New Hampshire Dee. 31 had a membership of 5,267, of whom 5,013 were in good standing. The amount expended for charitable purposes during the year was $5,061. Two posts were mustered during the year, the total number now being eighty-nine. There are in the State of New Hamp­ shire 100 veterans wholly dependent on others for their daily bread, and 250 par­ tially dependent. Since 1885 the State jjias expended $50,000 in providing for dependant veterans in their own homes. The feeling is strongly in favor of the es­ tablishment of a State Soldiers and Bow Wounded Men Bebav*. yr; If ft aoldier is wounded his behavi6¥ ̂ pends on the manner in which he is wounded and whether he is of a quiet or excitable temper, flesh wounds received in action are in many cases not felt at all, until the blood comes and the man gets exhausted. When a bone is struck the shock is great and "accompanied by acute paiji. I have see* poor fellows struck in the retnaiqi*$.in action for minutes, then sinking on their knees or falling on their faces. *Notr all such severe wouiuk are mortal. Ser­ geant Ture, of the Twelfth Missouri, re­ ceived a ball which went right through both temples, and helived for yearsafter- ward; a soldier who was shot through his left lung lived for a whole year; General Shields was shot through his breast in Mexico and reached an advanced age. The worst hits are of course those by can ister and round shot, and are mostly mortal. They take off arms or legs, or the head of a man, as was the case with the captain of a Southern batteiy in the battle of Pea Ridge. Splinters bf shells are less dangerous, but when thrown into groups and columns may disable many men. A single shell from a Paixhan gun sent from Fort Duncan, Maryland Heights, against a group of southern horsemen, killed General Lewis and wounded and killed 19 of hiscompanions. I have heard wounded soldiers groaning under great pain, but I never heard them crying out or using profane language. When halting on horsback on the right of the Twenty-fourth Masssachusetts in the battle of Newmarket, the regiment was under fire at close range for about 40 min­ utes, losing 200 men in killed and wound­ ed, but not a loud cry was heard from those who were wounded.--General Frantz Siegel, in Chicago Ledger. Still Touch Elbows. The men who gave the energy of their young manhood for the suppression of the Rebellion and for the preservation of the Union and the flag, are, as the years roll away, being drawn closer together and the ties of friendship^ which were welded in the fire of battle are being re­ newed everywhere all over the land which, they, more than a quarter of a century ago helped to save. Regimental and brigade reunions are becoming more numerous "as the years roll by, and the coming season, from the present indica­ tions, will witness more re-unions, and more meetings of the old war-scared veterans, than any year # since the war. Regiments that have never yet met in reunion are making, this early, prepara­ tions for a grand and glorious meeting together during the coming summer and fall. This is as it should be. The old veterans haiVe been standing too far apart and the time seems to have fully come when they should again stand in line, and show a united front as they did from '61 to '65 Those reunions bring the old veterans closer together, and by means of which, the wants and the rights of the men who saved this country can be more fully ascertained. We hope that every regiment in this broad land of ours may meet in reunion during the coming season, and that fraternal fellowship may be renewed, aud that the comradeship which was com­ menced in tha camp and field may be renewed everywhere. We also hope that the men who saved this country from destruction, mfiy be recognized and re­ warded in accordance with the sacrifice they made in the preservation of the land they loved so well as to sacrifice friends, comfort and hdme, and go forth to privations, and hardships, to sickness and even death, to save from destruo NO. 35. C0UBA8E IF BATTLE. Benarkable Iastances ia the IS^fl BeS«» "" Petersburg- The fight before Petersburg brought out several remarkable displays of per­ sonal courage. Two armies confronted each other with sullen determined brav­ ery. On Burnside's front the Confeder­ ate lines were less than 150 yardfulistaat. A stone might be thrown from the Union parapet into the rebelearth works. For nearly a month 400 patriotic moles had been burrowing in the ground, carry­ ing out the earth in cracker boxes, con­ cealing it from the enemy vs view with un­ derbrush. and steadily undermining the fort of the unsuspecting foe. Night and day the work goes on, and all hearts are centeredon the project which if success­ ful, will insure the capture of Petersburg, and, in all probability the fall of Rich­ mond. The evening of July 29 is at hand and under the doomed fort 8,000 pounds of powder lie with deadly destruction em­ bodied in its inert mass. Thefuse is laid, and at early morn of the 30th of July the match is to be applied. But the daylight is passed, and the troops rest impatient and inquiring on their arms. The sus­ pense is painful. Minutes seem hours and yet no unusudl sound disturbs the peace of that July morning. At last two hero­ ic spirits, a commissioned and a non­ commissioned officer of the Forty-eighth Pennsylvania, volunteer to enter the mine and learn the dhuse of the delay or failure. It seemed almost certain death for them to enter the tunnel. The explo­ sion is liable to occur at any moment and blow them to atoms, but they went in. The fuse was, found defective and was speedily replaced, and ere the sun had risen high over the old hills of Virginia the earth shook with the tremor ol an earthquake, and through the earth thrown high in the air the exploding powder blazed like lightning casting a- lurid glare upon the confussed mass of dismangled guns, shattered caissons, smoking camp equippage and mangled human bodies. Simutaneously the order to charge rang out, and the third Division of the Ninth corps advanced to the slaughter. The enemy stunned, almost paralyzed with fear, and panic- stricken, scattered in all directions. The oiK-entrated fire from a half hundred guns made a pandemonium indiscrib- Into the" Yttst crater, into which the explosion had converted the fort, the troops Were huddled. There wa» a strange and inexplicable delay, which gives the enemy time to rally their flying forces. The hostile, angry guns enfiladed the crater with fatal effect. The attempt to advance is met with a courage born of despair. A general advance of the corps was ordered. The fifty-first has reached the breast works. In the fore­ front behold an intrepid spirit urging his men forward. Waving his sword and calling to his brave boys to follow he reaches the enemy's intrenchments and gallantly falls in a hand-to-hand encoun­ ter with his face to the foe, a martyr to liberty and an honor to madkind. Such was. the fate of the heroic Capt. Samuel H. Sims, of the Fifty-first New York Volunteers.--Gen. Horatio C. KkIff. Vrs- Bradford's Work. - " - Mrs. Sarah M. Bradford, who for the last year was president of the Relief Corps in the Department of Illinois, has the dis­ tinguished honor of a re-election by ac­ clamation, without a dissenting voice, at the annual convention held in Springfield * Feb. 20-22. When placed in nomination she repeatedly told the convention that she could not serve, but under the inspira­ tion of the moment they would listen to no refusal. When the hour came for in­ stallation, she called the attention of he? sisters that previous to her election sh» had distinctly stated that she could not serve them longer, and while appreciating the high honor conferred, felt constrained to decline to be installed. The office she filled is no sinecure. Ia addition to all other work, such as res- V dering decisions in matters of cqntro- », versy, settling of difficulties, all of whieh call for much consideration, she has, In discharging her duties, written more than fifteen hundred letters, and has traveled PKWQthan eight thousand miles. - ^ ©£? • • <• 1 ' r! jsfa* s i ••J 0 " .-4 P'MI - '51 ' -*3 iil JL . .->> .
