The accumulation of business In the Pension Bureau Is something enormous. Many uf the original claimants have died since filing 'heir paper#, and the difficulty of obtaining evidence on which to establish certain classes of cases has been greatly aggravated by the lapse of tlqie. This is especially the case with dependent "father and mother claims*' wh*re the soldier filed liis evidence and has since died. It is comparatively easy to obtain evidence in most of the claims for pensions. All classes of pensioners have to be sus­ pended for additional evidence of some kind. AA every examiner Is tiece.«siul- ly both judge ami jury In the cases be* fore him, subject to the Pension laws and rules of the Pension OfHefe, great care is being exercised to get liim started oft right. There have been about 000 clerks appointed In the Pen­ sion Office within a month, moat of the W8W sppplntees being asjiigPf d (0 duty as examiners. The new system of special agents Is said to be working well, and In tlrno will prove the most satisfactory branch of the pension ser­ vice. A Significant Fact, A gentleman from a Western State-?- one of the new appointees in the Pen­ sion office--said a day or two since: '*When I reoeived my appointment I supposed, from reading the New York papers, that my business would be to select, from a ma*8 of fraud, here and there a meritorious case. I have only been engaged upon the claims for a few days, but long enongh to ooiivino me that I w*s greatly mistaken in sup­ posing that the mass of the claims are fraudulent. A man must be made of sterner stuff than I to read some of the declarations without tears ot sym­ pathy for the long-neglected claimants, and a blush of shame for the govern­ ment which has so long ignored them " The Pension Office Is now a busy work-house, and the Army of clerks have no time to dawdle over their work. General Dudley recognises the fact that, while some tardy clerk Is lingering beyond the hour for work over a late breakfast, many a soldier's widow. *v||Ose long-neglected claim lies in its du*ty pigeon-hole, has no break­ fast to eat, There Is not a Department at the capital where greater punctuality Is required op in which the ch|ef himself sets a better example of promptness and Industry, v v - W , ' * , . . • . ... ' "AuaJSA. , A FAMOUS BKOIM The Seventh Pennsylvania VnfunUtr Cavalry-It» Qpganhation and ifeoord The Seventh Pennsylvania volunteer oavslry was raised by W w. B. SI pes, of Philadelphia. A mental ovganljia tlon was eflvuted at 0<unp Cameron, near Harrfsburg, »nrl the following field office re, ooniioigbioned early In 18611 George O. Wyncoop. of Potta- ville, colonel | Wn|. B, Sipes, of Phila­ delphia, lieuteniint-pojoiiel { James J. Selbert.of Philadelphia(Jsmes Given, of West Chester, and Jno E. Wyncoop. of PottsviHe, major*, Governor Curtln presented the regimental cqjprs on De­ cember 19th, »nd on the following day the regiment "started for (lOiiisyille, Kentucky. After repelvlng inductions in Jeflersonville, Indiana, tl)e regiment went to Nashville, Tennessee, soon after Ita occupancy by Union forces. On the 1st of Mar, Captain Newlln. with Co. F, repulsed and rotited the rebel Gen. Morgan at Lebanon. One hundred and seventy prisoners were taken. The Seventh lest three killed, thirteen wounded, and three taken prisoners. The regiment was engaged in numerous small skirmishes, uutil Generft) Rosencrans succeeded to the command of (he Army of (he Cumber­ land. On Deuember ?6tb the army ad­ vanced on the enemy at Uurfreesboro, The rebels attained m* Seventh wltb V great #nry, buf fet with determined resistance. After the buttle waa over, and the elerny was making tl\e best Qf his way from |Ue field the cavalry was sent In pursuit, Abont six mile* out the rebels were met In force, and the Seyfhth cavalry w%s oa« of thftte that had ro bear tl^e brunt of tho light on the Union side. After several successful skirmishes around Murfreesboro, the Seventh en­ gaged in the important battle of Shel­ by vi lie, fron\ which It obtained the title of the-'Sabre Regiment." Arriv­ ing within Ave mites of the town, the enemy opened with artillery from his intrenchments. The Seventh wa* held in cohtmu. The advance wns sounded the men commenced clieerli\g, and the $erenth was among those who made the charge. Dashing forward with wild shouta. the Intrenchments were stormed and taken with many prisoners, and, nerved by their success, the sol­ diers pushed on after- the flying foe. A mile frpm town a rebel regiment was hemmed In, in an open field, and cap­ tured, offering lktle resistance. As the troops advanced towards the town they were suddenly checked by a rapid lire from a battery of six pleoes. In the public square, CqI. Mlnty. who was in puiqmantl, st once brought up two pieces of artillery and the signal to charge was given. The 8eventl> w<\s obliged to move fit the face of the rebel gnnt, which were trained full upon It, and were served with greet rapidity, at first dealing shot and shell, and then doiible-shftted cannister. But unmindful of the storm the Seventh dashed up the narrow street the shouts of the men ringing above the noise of battle. As they came near they were saluted by a shower of bnllpts from the rifles and pistols of the enemy. A short run brought the polumn h^nd to hand with the hostile farce and a brief Strug* gle ensued over the guns; but the slash of the sabre and tho rapid rounds from pistols and carbines proved too much for rebel valor. The enemy was driven in confusion, %nd the powerful battery was captured, as few have been, by a direct charge of cavalry. , After the loss of the artillery a panip seemed to <eize the enemy. The rebels fled in consternation to the bank of Duck River, a mile away, where they at­ tempted to form * lint to cover the passage of their trains. But it was a vain attempt. Chaw* »f»#j VHtMlnni iHth an Impetuosity spired of success, and finally, a wagon having befn o?ermrnefl upon tlie bridge, in wild affright the rebels broke and threw themselves Into the river by hundreds, where large cumbers were drowned. Shelbyvllle, with all Its military stores, fell Into Union hsnds, and tbe defeat of the rebels In that section was complete. In September the cavalry marched after Wheeler** band for eigh­ teen days, with little rest snd frequent running fights. On April 80th tbe regi­ ment set nut with Sherman towards Atlanta. After many severe charges and skirmishes, the regiment was or­ dered to Louisville to be once more prepared for active duty, it having Severely suffered In a campaign rarely equalled for endurance. The regiment next set out on the expedition across the Gulf Sfgtes. ft led the assault upon Solma, Alabama, swept over tl)e works like s hurricane, and helped to drive the rebels in confusion toward the city. Gen. Wilson says; "I doubt if the his­ tory of this, or any other war, will show another Instance In which a line of works ao strongly constructed,.and as well defended, was carried by a single line of men without vupport." The regiment was finally mustered ouMp the 13th of August. M>OIfOUr MOUNTAIN. The Old Battle-Field as it hooka To- Day--Hock of Chickamayaa--The Houne Where Rotencran* Made Hit Hemdquarter$.
