The battle of Antietam was fought Sept. 16 and 17,1862. . The ba^tle of HaiiJOT^ F^rryj Ve., wp fought Sept. 12-15,1863. Sept. 2,1862, General Georgl B. Mc- Ciellen was appointed to the command of the troops for the defense of Washington. September 19-23, 1863, the battle of Chickaiuauga, Ga., was fought. The Union losses were 15,851, the Confeder­ ate 12,281 men. * i; ^ The annual re-union of tie Muskegon Valley Soldiers' and Sailors' Association will be held at Newaygo, Mich., S-5epfc, 10, 11,12. j, Sept. 4s, 5 and 6, a State reunion of Federal and ex-Confederate vetwans was held at Fort Worth, Texas.

Alger, chief, and Major Wm. Warner, Past-Com- mander-in-Chief, G. A. R., were given a grand reception at St. Joseph, Mo, A camp-fire was held in the evening. The two distinguished guests .delivered ad­ dresses. * The Union army during the war of the rebellion had on its rollft, 2,883,000. The Confederate armies had on their roir, 1,652,000. Of the Union array, one- fourth, 700,000, still survive, of whom 400,000 are enrolled in the Grand Army of the Republic. At least 350,000 Con­ federates live to recount the stories of hardship, peril and want. When the Confederate army was on its shortest rations, General Lee remon­ strated one day with a straggler for eat­ ing green persimmons, and asked hipi if he did not know that they were unfit for food. "I'm not eating them for food, General," replied the man, "but for the sake of drawing my stomach up to fit my rations." The coming annual meeting ^of the Army of the Tennessee, to be held in Cin­ cinnati, Sept. 2o and 26, gives promise of more than usual interest, both in num­ bers and in the programs. A more than usually large number of ladies will attend this year. The annual address will be delivered at Music Hall on the evening of the 25th, and the banquet will occur on the evening of the 26th. General Sher­ man, the President of the Association, will preside, Governor Foraker will niake the opening speech, and General O. O Howard will take part in the exercises.

B. Farwell, the Hon. HensalaeurHftone, the Hon Abner Taylor and the Hoik Wm. E. Mason have at all times and in Tall places shown the utmost kindness and consideration of the riaims of the citizen soldier, without regard to his political opinions; and, WHEUEAS, They have nobly responded to every appeal from the mothers of the Republic for acknowledgment of the ser­ vices of these defenders of the Nation's honor; be it Resolved, That they have the heartfelt thanks and warmest support of our en­ tire organization; and, also, be it Resolved, That we do not allow the public to forget that they are the noblest representatives of justice and American statesmanship. The Board of Pension Examiners met at Woodstock Tuesday, and organized by naming Dr. D. C. Green, president, Dr. John W. Gfoesbeck, secretary, and Dr. C. C. Watson, treasurer. They decided on Woodstock as their place of meeting, and Wednesday of each week as the day. --Soldiers' Dept. Harvard Herald. You are right about the organization of the board, comrade, but wrong as to their deciding on Woodstock as their place of meeting. This board of examin­ ing soldiers was appointed for Woodstock, Illinois, and have nothing to do or say about locating where they will meet. The petition that was signed by 550 old veterans praying for said board's ap­ pointment, requested Woodstock, 111., as the place where the board should hold forth. We make this statement the sec­ ond time because we have heard several intimate that the surgeons appointed could designate where they would meet, and could change about, going to differ­ ent towns in the county. Will the editor of the Soldier's Department of the Har­ vard Herald please make a note of this fact? The Memphis which the boys in blue chased over a large portion of the so-called Southern Confederacy, naturally has no love for them. It says: The Grand Army of the Republic has come to be nothing more than an asso­ ciation of pension grabbers. The Appeal had a particularly hard time in keeping them from grabbing it during the war. When those of them that were on the gunboats sent the rebel fleet that was defending Memphis to the bottom of the Mississippi on that event­ ful 6th of June, 1862, the Appeal, which was one of the bitterest secession papers in the South, hastily loaded itself on the; cars and ran out, if we remember cor­ rectly, to Humboldt, Tenn. The boys in blue soon got too close to that place, and th& Appeal was rushed off into the interior of Mississippi, stopping at Granada, where it was published for some time and then at Jackson. But Grant and Sherman began to be pretty numer­ ous in the bowels of that land, and the Appeal sought refuge under Bragg's pro­ tecting wing at Chattanooga. Rosecrans hustled it out of there, and it located at Dal ton or Resaca, finally going to At­ lanta, where it remained until Sherman took the Gate City, when it was removed tp Griffin, Ga., where it was finally lost sight of. It is not surprising that it Bhould not feel kindly toward those who gave it so much trouble. Yet on the other hand, it should have some regard for the old Army of tbe Tennessee boys. They always read its columns with inter­ est, were always very anxious to get hold of it, and were among its most liberal patrons, Between Memphis and Atlanta they must have exchanged many thous­ and dollars in Confederate money, and several wagon loads of coffee in exchange for copies of it.--National Tribune. Brave Jad«oa Craktr. In our company we had a seventeen- year-old eoldier, whose name W|M Judson Craker. He seemed neve^ to have learned what fear meant. R there was ever any dangerous thing to be done, l(kata«a*tMtohOT«*haud It r i .

One dlIf lour regiment was ordered to quid^jr fpich up our knapsacks, guns, etc., and mote to a piece of woods in front to ft new fine of works that had been prepared ; We did so. We knew that the tftvH was very near the rebels, was a piece of woods between wast them. We had been there half an hous when some one said that some one elae heard that somebody had heard tbe Colonel say that we should go fcaek to our old line. Then somebody akja/bed back in a hurry, then somebody ta&aifted in a greater hurry. You have seen sheep go over a fence. One jumps, then another" jumps, and then they all follow aatMt as they can go, and I do not suppose a sheep of them can tell just why they all follow so fast. Well, our regiment acted just like a flock of Sheep. They rushed pell mell back to the old line, Iftnd no­ body seemed to knttw just why. It was vaguely supposed that the Colonel had ordered us badk, but nobody knew for certain. The joke of it, we had started back in such a rush that half the man had left their knapsacks and they hardly knew how they were to get them again. Just then the Colonel came among QS and in entire violation Of army regaiar tions concerning the use of profane lan- guage, told us to get back to our pineal in a lmrry.

When we asked what in the world he had been doing there alone, he got down from the pile of knapsacks, saying, "Wall, whttt I saw you all running off so, I thought I'd,, pile up the things and take careof thsna." •" I must confess that his cool remark made us feel cheap. H. W. WOOD, 12th Wisconsin. " The twenty-fourth annual re-union of the 95th regiment Illinois infantry, oc­ curred, Wednesday, Sept. 4th at Nundft; Owing to a combination of circum­ stances the attendance was not as large ; as usual. Many of the members of tbe* old organization attended the National Encampment at Milwaukee the fore, and felt that they could nO®1 to come, while others were interested in the county fair, which was in progress at the time, consequently did not put in an appearance, but those who did attend pronounced it one of the most social and enjoyable re-unions ever held by tbe or- gani*atioi|.
