(t. \Veinsert, of Wisconsin, was elect­ ed Senior Vice'"Commander by vote of the secretary, without opposition. Judge Veazey, of Vermont, and Gon- signy, of Iowu, withdrew their names as candidates for Commander-in-Chief, and the Sivretnry was instructed to cast the ballot for General Alger. : ' The next encampment witt v&eid «t Iloston^ Mass. Mrs. John A. Logan was received with great honor and respect by the old vet­ erans at Milwaukee. General W. T. Sliermau was the lion of the three days at the Encampment. There were nine divisions iu line Milwacikkk, Wis., Aug. 28.--About 25,000 people gathei«d at the National Soldiers' Home for Disabled Veterans, where the men passed in review before General Sherman. General Sherman was received with immense enthusiasm and made a brief speecfi, which, as he says, is the last speech he will ever make. Gen­ eral Sherman said: Boys, my'sjleaking days are over. I am not going to make any more speeches. If you want a speech take Senator Man- derson. I think J»e car make a good speech. I am always glad to see so many soldiers looking hearty and healthy. 1 think we can stand on our legs yet. I like to see that our old Uncle Sam takes pretty good care of these old soldiers. I ncle Sam cannot make old men young, but he can make young men just as good as you or 1 ever were. I see that Mil­ waukee is full of them, and they are com­ ing out of the bushes everywhere. If you thiuk you are the only soldiers, you are mistaken. There were old soldiers before you and there will Lie again. Such is the providence of the world. Just as good men were born a t housand years ago and will be born a thousand years hence. All we have to do is to do our parts in this short period of life honorably and hon­ estly. 1 think we can pass the grand tri­ bunal and say: "We have tried to do our best," and the sentence will be, "Well done." We have passed through one crisis of our country's history. I don't see any chance of another, but nobody knows the future. Bring up your chil­ dren to love and venerate the old sol­ diers who fought in 18G1 and I860, and make them uncover their heads when they see that little banner that you fol- lovved iu the days that tried us to the ut­ most. Let us venerate that flag and love our country and love each other and stand by each other as long as we have heads on our shoulders and legs on our bodies. These old soldiers who marched against the enemy iu those trying days, a grateful country tries its best to assist, and will, I think--in fact, 1 am sure--be good to you when you get too old--all that is necessary. But keep young as long as you can, and do not go into a soldiers' home if you can help it. £asolutions Offered. Mh.wackke, Wis., Aug. 28.--At the afternoon session of the encampment many resolutions were introduced and referred. General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, offered a resolution to the effect that Whereas, Therets a growing tendency to festivities, games, sports, and oth^fr p.'tstimes on Memorial l»av, foreign '.o the nature of the day, and an insult to the order and its honored dead. Jiesolved, That this encampment express its disapproval of such customs and direct nil department* and posts to discourage the same in every way possible. , « , I The most attractive feature of the grand parade in Milwaukee was the dis­ play made by George H. Thomas Post, J^o. o, ot Chicago. They formed the stars and stripes with colored umbrellas, forty-two of the-comrades carrving blue umbrellas, on the top of which was a white star, thus representing the union of the "old flag." The strips of alter­ nate red and white were formed by columns of siugle files, carrying um­ brellas of plain red aud white respec­ tively, thus forming the flag, extending from curd to curb of the street, and in length about 125 feet. It took in all about 273 mem here of the post to form the flag, the balance of the members of the post forming in the rear. Seen from an elevation, which was necessary to get the proper effect, the representation was one that is difficult to describe, but was unique and called forth vociferous ap­ plause all along the line of march, in parsing the reviewing stand, which con tained trncle Billy and Mrs. Logan, the idols of the G. A. It., it seemed as if some mighty breeze had caught the folds of the old flag and whirled them into fan­ tastic shapes, while the strains of "Marching Thro' Georgia" rolled out front thousands of throats in tones that sent the echoes resounding out among the hills likeapivau of triumph. Probably the starry banner was never before rej>- resentod on so large a scale, and the effect was to send a thrill through all the vast multitude who saw it. General Sherman stood with bowed and un­ covered head until Post 5 and its liviug flag had parsed and had resumed the cadence of the step that had been lost in the excitement of the moment. The in­ cident will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it. Aiarch the first day of the encampmeut. I While the number iu the processsion at the National Encampment this year was not as large as. in former years, it was some eight miles long and contained no less than 20,000 to 23,000. The railroads claim they carried over 160,000 people into Milwaukee up to Wednesday of last week. McHenry county was %ell represented at the encampment. Arrangements have been completed for a grand reunion excursion under the aus­ pices of the old Third Brigade, Third Division, Fifteenth Army Corps, to Chattanooga during the third week of September. The brigade consisted of the Fifth and Tenth Iowa, the Twenty-sixth Missouri, and the Ninety-third Illinois infantry regiments and the Eleventh Ohio Battery. The two Iowa regiments will rendezvous at Independence Sept. 13 and 14, the Missouriaus at St. Louis, and the lllinoisaus at Princeton Sept. 15, and the expedition will start South­ ward early on Monday, Sept. 19. Any who find it more convenient to go by way of Chicago should report at the headquarters of the committee. No. 108 of | Dearborn street. Satisfactory transpor- Incident of the War in Missouri. After General Price left Springfield, Mo,} In the spring*of 18G2, we mvrv-mw- lowed by the Federal troops, and had a rear guard to cover our retreat. The butcher of our brigade, a man named Vaughn amused himself by waitmgwith a friend behind our rear guard at conven- „ ient turns in the road and picking off the leaders of the advance guard of oar pur­ suers, mostly Kansas troops. After a while the pursuers found out where they could expert these little amhnsHjifw, aV2S& so one day when the butcher and hki friend, a man named Dick Shacklet, came to a place iu the road which was c xnetly suited to their purpose, they were some­ what surprised when some of the KawSaw boys dashed into sight on a full with their revolver rifles ready to tire a» soon as they caught sight of our men. V aughn rode a. fine mule and his friend was well mounted. They had hardly time to shoot, and, in fact, I am not sure that they did shoot, before they pat spurs to their horses and tried to get away as fast as they could. One of the Federals got very close to Vaughn, when the cylinder of his gun, being caught by a piece of cap or something, refused to revolve. The other pursuers were left in the rear, and Vaughn's friend was already quite a distance iu advance. The lead- < ing Federal had fired several shots, but without serious effect, and as he dreir nearer Vaughn in desperation turned in his saddle and fired at his pursuer. The latter dropped from his saddle, and his horse wa« the first to reach our lines, in which ho afterward did good service. Vaughn had such a fright in this caae that he never cared to amuse himself " III | the same way afterward. Bv 3. J. Boukne. Monroe County, Mo. That poor surplus! As. _ now been digging at it for five months like au Irishman attacking a drift on the sidewalk with a snow-shovel, it must certainly be a thing of the past. The era of "imposition of fresh taxes to meet lavish pension expenditure" must be lose at hand. What's this? Secretary Windom reports that the surplus is now $70,800,000, the largest that it has been it any time since last October! If the fractional silver is counted in it will be nearly $100,000,000. Well, well, how this world, and especially the Mugwump papers, are given "to lying I--National Tirbnne. tation arrem^numt# hi Oc6u DlOiUV, and the expedition will move by way of Corinth, luka, and lluntsville to Chatta­ nooga, parsing through a country full of battle-fields and innumerable scenes of interest to the old veterans and their friends.

Kinney, of the committee of arrangements, will be about headquar­ ters in this city and suppy all details of information, for which application may be made in person or by letter. The fare from Independence, to Chattanooga *aod raiitrn .tfllrbe f21.B5; from nHtft to Chattanooga and return $15.20 (which is considerably less than a single fare in one direction), and proportion­ ately low from other points.A grand time awaits all who take part in this excursion. There are now thirty members to the Woodstock Camp of Sons of Veterans. Six candidates were initiated Monday evening, August 26th. The Woodstock Camp of Sons of Vet­ erans upon receipt of an invitation voted to attend in a body the dedication of the Soldier's Monument at Nunda Septem­ ber 11th. "The^Pension Commissioner," says the Troy Timen, "has of late received much abuse, but considering its origin it is to his credit." Corporal Tanner has become almost as mean a man in the eyes of certain copperheads, as was Abe Lincoln in 1863. There is a general expression of opin­ ion among old soldiers that the remains of their illustrious commander, General F. S. Grant, should be removed without delay to Washington. TheG. A. R., the M. O. L. L., and the Army of the Ten­ nessee willl all be heard from soon. The Sons of Veterans of Woodstock were too much for the members of the Nunda Camp at playing.the g;-eat Ameri­ can Game last Monday. The game was a close as well as a laughable one, with a combination of pitchers, catchers, and baseman, that would have done justice to almost auything, ba.ving base ball. Five innings were played which resulted in a score of 12 to 15 iu favor of our boys.--Sentinel. ~ ^ ^ \ -- -- -- • J r , , _ I . '̂ Little Phil" Saw WflK .

Special Telegram.--All the morning the lobby and halls of the Plankintou House were filled by an eager crowd of old fellows, whose appearance at once suggested that tliey were not putting up at that expensive hostelry. They were there to greet Commissioner Tanner, and they gave that official an ovation when he made his appearance from the dining- room. "Of personal matters," said Mr. Tanner, when spoken to. The boys are out for a big time, and I am with them. -My posi­ tion on the pension question is easily defined: I believe that every needy soldier ought to have one. In my opin­ ion there will be 110 trouble in passing a service-pension bill -next winter, with the widow proviso included, so that the relict of every deceased soldier will be cared for. There is still great suffering inflicted and injustice done in this re- spcct, and Congress should remedy it.' .. •-* Pavey-, President of the Illinois AsSoCth- tion of ex-Prisoners of War, has an nounced Oct. 16 and 17 as the time, and Springfield as the place for holding the next annual reunion. Senator Cullom will be present and de­ liver the address at the uuveiling of the soldiers' monument at Nunda Sept. 11th. The Hon. A. J. Hopkins is also expected to be present. JCneampment at Handa. We call the attention once more to the encampment that is to lie held at Crystal Lake, Sept. 11th and 12th.
