Gordon, gov Governor of Georgia, was leading an as­ sault at the battle of Seven Pines, a bul­ let raked across his chest, and would have shattered his right arm if he hadn't it uplifted to point with his sword a movement he wanted his command to make. "Since a service pension most, come some time; why not now? What shall we gain by waiting? A few paltry dol­ lars, saved by waiting until the men to whom they shall be paid are dead ? How unworthy such a thought in a great na­ tion, which has profited so immensely by the services of these men? Ont upon such unworthy parsimony 1 Too much cannot be done for the men who took their lives in their hands and went to save the nation. Love for God and love of country are twin duties, and it-is a privilege to endeavoi* to promote truth and loyalty, to teach our children the great principles of free government, to supply the leaven of sincere devotion to the cause of liberty that may eventu­ ally "leaven the whole lump,* even to the overcoming of anarchy and commun­ ism. Let every loyal woman work for Fraternity, Charity, Loyalty.--Secret&ry W. R. C., Tracy, Vt. "Mr. Carlisle is very much afraid that pension legislation will bankrupt the country. A man never'bankrupted him­ self by taking money from one pocket and putting it into another, and a coun­ try cannot be bankrupt by taking idle mon^y out of the treasury and putting it into general circulation by paying just debts to the men who saved its life and made its prosperity." , ~ ' To Viait t'hiokamaaga Battlefield. • The veterans of the Army of the Cum­ berland are making a united effort to get as many men together as possible for the purpose of holding a reunion on Chieka- inauga battlefield on Wednesday, May 21.
