Printing the l'eatlonera Main The work of printing a complete list of the United States pensioners', grow­ ing out of Mr. Beck's resolution, adopt­ ed by the Senate last December. Is now fairly under way at the Government printing office. The Senate resolution called on Commissioner Dudley to fur­ nish a list containing the name am] postofflce address of each pensioner, to­ gether with the annual rate of pension, date of original allowance and cause for which the psnsion is allowed In each case. Some Idea of the magnitude of tills compilation, and Id the labor involved In pre pari i|ar and printing the list, may be formed from the figures given below. The names, postofflce addresses, etc., of 298,000 pensioners will appear la the compilation,, filling eight volumes of about 800 pages each. Nineteen hundred copies will be print­ ed, at an estimated cost for printing alone of 957,700. The work will he finished by the public printer about the hit of next July. ' " 7* • , > ' , . Dow' Uobel Prisoners ParfMA.' ' "In the winter of 1864-,65, f was OH duty at Camp Morton. Indianapolis, lud , which was one ef the principal Northern prisons In which captured rebels were confined, and 1 can say from my own knowledge tha£ they received the most generous treatment, in com­ parison with that which Union prison­ ers received.In the South. They were provided with good,clean quarters and jcominodious hospital*, and they were supplied with an abundance of pure water, and wood for fuel, the latter costing the Government 94 per cord. The hospitals were lurnished and con­ ducted iu precisely the s.ime way as our own--Camp Burnsi.'le. During the spring of 1865 I was a patient of the pest hospital, near Indianapolis, where could be seen the Union soldier and the Confederate sharing alike, and re­ ceiving the same treatment in every respect. A stranger would liavs found it impossible to tell which was Tank' •r which was reb , since both enjoyed the same comforts, and. more, the same hospital clothing. The convalcscetits ate at the same table, and no partiality whatever was sliown.^^E. W. Bagshaw, Everett, Mo. President Limela I* Jsf'i Qhsh After Richmond had fall*n Into the bauds ot the Federal forces the Cabinet room of the Capitol was kept iu exact­ ly the same condition as when occupied by Jefl Davis. President Lincoln, it will be remembered, arrived the day after the surrender, and while walking through the building. Inspecting the headquarters of the Confederacy, came to this room. Godfrey W'eitgell, who was in charge, said: '"Mr. president, this is the chair occupied bv President Davis,'* and motioned the President to sit down. It was a trying moment, and ANOTHKtt WASTOJ* ILlNMtfli The most cruel and wanton slur thftt has yet been cast upon the honor of our ex-soldiers is, that in volunteering their services In defense of the Union they were prompted not by motives of [ atriotlsm. but by the thirst for ad­ venture and excitement. Nothing could be farther from ,the truth. It U true that when the War broke out am! President Lincoln made his first call lor volunteers, the men of the Nortfi responded with alacrity and without hesitation, not stopping to count the eo«t, audit is true that many ol them were carrieif away by the enthusiasm of the moment, but it was not the rte* sire for mere military glory which In­ spired them. In giving up home and family and friends. In abandoning workshop ai;d counting room and oflloe they sacrificed all that was dear and precious, Tint husband tore himself away from the embrace of the weeping wife, the faTher thrust aside the cling­ ing hands of his children, the son snatched a Inst kiss from Ills heart­ broken mother, the brother turned e deaf ear to the entreaties of his slater, the lover gave up his aweetheart--each laid some holy sacrifice upon I he *lar of hla country. Adventure and excitement? It was not for these that sad farewells ere spoken. It was In anticipation of no holiday pleasure that our veterans hur. rie<| to the front In the dark days of 5861, They foresaw the hardship, the suffering, and the danger that there ••waited them,and If they did not falter It was because tliey were Inspired with the courage that comes of an unselfish jlavotioii lo country. Bui. If vol tin tee i* wereiiot sctuafed by tin- worthy motives, what shall be said of those who. later in the war. when its horrors had fully disclosed themselves, offered their services to carry on the struggle ? It was certainly no passing whim, no momentary craving after ad­ venture or excitement which prompted the two and three years' volunteers to the hazard dangers of the field. The reality of war was then too lerrlble to admit of any delusion*. Adventure and excitemeut* They found both, Indeed, but ther sought neither. Adventure? They tasted Its charms In many a desperate charge, |r. many a wild assault, on many a field strewn with the bodies of the dead and dying. Excitement? They felt Its spell at tho mouth of the canuon.at the point of the gleaming bayonet, in the storming of the rifie-pits. Adventure and ekcitement? Slight and trivial the compensation which either offered for long aud weary inarches by day, for cold and cheerless nights on picket, for weeks of pain and anguish In the hos­ pital, for months of famine In Southern prison pens, for the years of helpless­ ness and poverty which have followed. Put on the one side all tiie glory and fnme and reputation which lliey won in the struggle, and on the other all the hardship and suffering and pain which they endured, and see how paltry and insignificant the compensation is. The m-n who, twenty years ago "for 'lie mere love of adventure and excite- inent," volunteered to save the Union from destruction, are still paying the penalty of their self-sacrtffee. Shut out from the pursuits that were once open to them, they are earning a scant sub­ sistence by grinding toil, or eking out a mlssrable existence on the stipend which the Government allows them. Their children, deprived ef the care and aid glilcti otherwise might have been theirs, have been forced to battle single-handed with adversity as tli*ir fathers battled with treason in the field, and anp still working out to-day the sacrifice of twenty years ago. Measure that sacrifice if you ean. Pour out the wealth of the treasury, and'see If It will recompense the veteran and his family for their losses. The coun­ try lias been made whole, the prosperi­ ty of the Nation at large has not su^ fered, but, alas, from the shoulder, of those whose Individual valor and en- iterance preserved the Union tl#lMlja deu has not been rolled away.
