There were several Irishmen among their number aud during the night one of thetu came over and joined us. He was killed next day while bravely lighting for the mastery of the bridge^ We stood guard thereover thirty hours aud during the time had eaten two crackers each, and used from necessity upwards of forty leundsof cartridges to tlie man and yet had not tired one shot in exchange for three. The Irish­ man who deserted from tlie rebels brought over some half a dozen onions and a chunk of bacon. These he gave to me and myself aud a friend, having procured au old tin pail, built a fire by a slump, and proreeded without cer­ emony to cook our meal. One of us would watch and tight awhile and then change oil to the peaceful pur­ suit of cooking. and vice versa. Ev­ erything seemed favorable for a square meal, when, in a twinkle, areb gut in a quartering shot, his builet striking in tlie embers or knots under the pail. The coals aud ashes blinded the cook, and nearly or quite ruined tbe sight of one eye, and the pail--we never saw that again Having lost our dinner, we tried to make it hot for that rebel. He was located behind a large log within easy range, and hie was the only rebel post on our side the stream, but approaches to it were covered by Confederate rifles. Within ten minutes after he spoiled onr dinner he held up the -butt of tils rifle in tokenx»f surrender. He came to us fatally hurt, but he olaimed that tbe deadly shot came from his OWL* men. He was about uineteen years of age, and a noble looking young man. He staled to 11s that his home wan near Baton Rouge. La., that his father aud mother were Jead, that he had a cripple sister and that 011 her account he wanted to live. We cared for him as best we could. Just before he breathed his la*t a rebel bullet crushed his right ankle. I never shall forget tiiat dying soldier. His last words were, (probably meaning his sister) "Oh. Sarah!" We folded the body In .1 Union blanket, and a negro, using a sharpened pine board for a spade, dug a grare in a sheltered hol­ low, and in that wir.dowletf palace, in the shadow of a^jvillow. the soldier in grey awaits the call of the Angel of Judgment. M. M. C. ( T o b * C o n t i n u e d , } Tho New York Herald, Tribune. Pott and Times are clamoring for tlie repoal of the Arrears of Pension Act. Let every ex-soldler lu the land apot them enemies.- Commissioner Dudley told IN* cor­ respondent of the New York Herald that the frauds upou tlie Peuslun Office would not exceed one-tenth of one per cent., but the Htiraid keeps on iil! tiiv auOiib UIV Arrewi Hct. ' '* Jaim*rj7,18W, we we**ln Virginia, a musket upon our iboulder, doing guard duty. Tlieu our enemies were in front 01 us. To-day we are 011 duty, but not an we were twenty yearn ago. Now we are guarding our old comrades in arms from the malicfoirt attack* of Mich white live red./ patriots and * and other Citizen. Mexican Veteran*. The soldiers who fought in Mexico won for the United States Texas. Cali­ fornia, and wo may add Ariaoua and New Mexi<*a. comprising in al) an area ot 487,055,425 acre*. Of this vast terri­ tory there has been awarded them, providing eacli one of the 100,000 sol­ diers has reoeived his land wari5»nt, only about 16.000,000 acres. We insist that justice requires a 0,ore bepeficleqt provision faf the A Matleiooa Slander. The New York Herald says the Ar­ rears of Pension Act "was passed by Congress under tlie spur of unworthy motives.that the Peusion-Arrears Act is "dishonest, unnecessary, un­ patriotic."' in auswer to this we reply: When such men as Senator Edmunds, of Ver­ mont, David Davis, of llliuoi«, Plumb, of Ktil»sas, Hoar, of Massachusetts, Ferry, of Michigan, Wlndom. ot Min­ nesota. and ex-Seuators Matthews, of Ohio. Burnside, of Rhode Island, Blaine, of Maine, and Coukling. ot New York.vote for a measure. Repub­ licans may well be satisfied that it Is a just and proper one to become a law. And when such leaders as ex-Senators Baruum, of Connecticut, Wallace, of Pennsylvania, Tliuriuan, of Ohio, Ker- uan, of New York, McDonald, of I11- diaua. aud Gordon, of Georgia, aud such well kuown party men ssSeuators McPherson, of New Jersey, Voorhees, of Indiana, Butler, of South Carolina. Hill, of Georgia, and Jones, of Florida, approve of the action of thoir breth­ ren of the opposition. Democrats may rest assured that it involves uo ques­ tion of partisanship. We think the Herald ought to apol­ ogia 0 to the gentlemen we have named tor the hase slanders It has hurled agaiost thoir reputations. But then we have no hopes ot lis doing so, for the Herald In addition to helug a common liar, has no seuse of the pro­ prieties of life. So says the National Tribune, Kemeinbef. Ex-soldiers should remember, when they see tlie New York Tribune%t scur­ rilous articles ouiioerning the Arrears of Pension Act that it w*5 that paper that virtually suggested the assassina­ tion of General Grant, and which most wickedly and without cause or uiercy, accused the late President Garfield of dishonesty. The soldiers who saved the country are now merely receiving similar treat- niei\t to that which the s^me scandal­ ous sheet has heretofore administered to almost every prominent statesman aud patriot, Republicau or Deicocrat who has had to do with public attains during the last fifteen or twenty years. TM Pally Disabled Veter»iv*. At a mooting of the "Fully Disabled eterans* Associations," li\ Brooklyn Tuesday night, a committee, appointed at a previous meeting to take steps toward the perfection of a permaii«?nt national organizatiou of tlie fully dis­ abled veterans of the army and navy, reported that the plan proposed was to get a list of all fully disabled veterans on the penson roU «f the United States, aud then to call a con­ vention and elect officers for a permau- national argauiza^ou, tU<? d*»le£*t^ to be chosen by congressional district*' The committee has consulted with tbe "Maimed Prisoners' League" of Phila­ delphia. which has a membership of five hundred, and the plan was ap- - - j - ' V t o . 4 » • A' ^#«*pondent front Ttwntfna writes us for our opinion as to the best plan for getting an early expression from ex-soldiers of their views con* ee ruing proposed legislation a fleeting their Interests before Congress. We suggest that every soldier who Is opposed to the repeal of the "Ar­ rears Act," or who is in favor of more liberal pension laws and of tlie passage of the bill to equalise bounties, write to the Senators from his State and to his Member of Congress without de­ lay to that effect. The letters should Im short and to the point; and the more of such the Senators ami Members receive the more apt they will be to see to it that no Injustice Is done the soldier and that all Ills rights are accorded him. Fefca mt Rnalalsi anfMan Daring the late Mr. Beutley's ad­ ministration of the Pension Office, an d at his Instance, the fees of examining surgeons were reduced from two to one dollar in each case or for each examin­ ation made. We know something of the duties re­ quired of this class of officers and have always felt that even the two dollars was none too much to satisfy the de­ mands of justice. One-half that amount Is unreasonably small, and, recognising this fact as we have done. Commission* er Dudley has recommended that the former fee allowed be re-established.-- We believe that by proper effort an amendment of the law tin be secured, aud in our endeavors to bring about such a desirable result we trust we may have the hearty co-operation ot those who are most deeply nitd personally Interested.--ATatfona/ Tribune.

Bill and WHKREAS: The U. S. Government in the pension laws acknowledge the principle that as the volunteer soldier was to fight for tlie people at large, they and not the soldier are bound in honor aud justice to assume the risk of loss ot life, health or llinb. Aud VVHKREAS: The legal right of the disabled soldier, or the deceased sol­ dier's widow and children to pension is beyond question; therefore, Jxnaolved: That tlie date of all pen­ sions should be fixed at the soldier^ discharge from service, or trora deatli in the service, as the case may be, with­ out regard to tiling or completing the olaim. And Removed: That the Congressman who introduces a bill for the repeal of the Arrears-Pension Act. or who votes for. or shirking his vote entourages such repeal bill, is unworthy our sup­ port and respect, and brings reproach and dishonor upon the Government, that our blood and that of our dead comrades has sustained and preserved. Respectfully submitted. Which on motion was unanimously adopted and ordered that the Adjt. of this Post forward a eopy of the same to our representative in Congress. WM. AVHKY, Com.

He and his family are uot oonsldered eligible by the haut ton of New York fashionable society. Having erected the most splendid mansion in the city and proposed to throw open its hospitable doors Cpr a grand party, he is pained to flud his invitations de­ clined by a small cirele ot the ultra fashionable. There has been a 00m- mou Impression that a sufficiency of wealth was all that was necessary to obtain an entree Into fashionable so­ ciety in New York, provided it was uot associated with any gross soandal, and that nowhere were (he barriers uf society so easily unlocked with a gold­ en key. Put Mr. Vauderbilt's exper­ ience would se9in to show that it is not so. He is not a patent medicine vender, a bonanza miner, nor any of tlie more offensive impersonations of recent wealth. He has inherited his millions; nor is there anything about hie personality or descent to make him offensive to fastidious fashion. It can hardly be anything more than a freak, or ihe result of a jealousy desir­ ing to revenge itself by social exclu­ sion.
