WASHINGTON, May 16.--Special Tel- ram.-- William Hedgespeth, ef Co. , Forty-second Indiana Volunteers has laid before Secretary Lamar, a question of law versus equity, In pen­ sions that is fully as piwzllng as the celebrated Guilford Miller land case, aad of far more pecuniary importance to the government. Mr. Hedgespeth was captured In one of the early bat- ties of the war. and was seat to An- dersonville prison. He passed through all of the well-known horrors of that pen, and was with other Union men offered his freedom if he would enter the Confederate army. This was refused by him several times until he says he got so weak from starvation that sure death stared him in the face If he remained. He then accepted the Confederate proposition and joined tbe rebel army, but deserted afterward to the Union forces and served out bis term. He suffers disabilities on ac count of bis-privations at Anderson ville, and asks for a pension. General Black drew the law on him and refused Itlno a pension on the ground that he had given "aid and comfort to the en­ emy In time of war, and such persons the law forbids a pension." Mr, Hedgespeth appealed, and argued that bis case was a good one, because, while ho had voluntarily joined the enemy he had done so for the simple purpose of saving his life and getting back to the Union forces. The Board of Pen­ sion Appeals, which examines iheso cases for the Secretary, overruled Mr, Black and unanimously granted Hedge speth a pension. Assistant Secretary Hawkins, who signs tbe appealed pen •ions decisions as acting secretary re­ fused to sign this one, and reversed the Board of Appeals, taking Qooeral Blaok's view of the esse. The board then oarried tho case to Seoretary La­ mar, and bo has boon puzzling over to for three months. Four moro oases ot like character have followed, and now General Black says they are ail frauds, evea if they have a plausible oase. Said Secretary Hawkios to-day: "These men say they would havo died If they bad stayed in Aadeisoayllle. How do they know that? That is a pure hypothesis, and wo can not act on such testimony. Otber men stayed there and did not die.n It is our opinion that tho claimant above mentioned is deserving a pen­ sion If the proof furnished be suffi­ ciently strong enough to show that be was Absolutely compelled to aocept the situation of joining the Confeder­ ates to save his life, aad especially more to if he only did so with the firm resolve to escape to our lines or die In the attempt. Wo personally know it to be a fact that there were a few cases of the kind referred to who were honest as regards being traly loyal to the cause they had sworn to support, and did do as this soldier is said te have done. Tot wo most coufess there were many more lnstanoes--yes, up in­ to the dozens where tho class of men who enlisted into the rebel army only did so because it mattered little to them to whloh army they belonged, for they were the men who wore usu­ ally captured In tho roar or while for- aging or straggling, who were beenty jumpers and who made poor soldiers .and hardened villains, thieves and even murderers while imprisoned and were in many cases so terribly Iniqui­ tous and despicable that it was known to the prison authorities and who re­ fused to accept them into their service knewiug full well that there was no de­ pendence to bo placed in them and that they would be worthless as sol­ diers. Again the rebel recruiting oAl­ ee r, Colonel O'Neill who came Into tho prison at Anderson ville to indnoe the weak-kneed to join the Confederi did not accept thos and unfit for duty, he wanted, those work on f railroads, where It to escape quested to send te the Soldiers aad Sailors' Home, Quincy. books, pa pen, aad any reading matt*; acceptable to onr otd help them to while away t|rit*l§SV^ feast's Prstus.

As tho Union linos (pailaallF drew closer and closer to tho doomed city bodies of rebel skirmishers were oocastonally captured. One day who was on duty at the front, walked some distance ahead of his oOmradee and came all alone upon a half desea or more Confederates, ensoeaoed la a hollow of the ground.

Sherman, always a center of attraction in the gatherings he at­ tends, seems not to realize that the eyes of everybody present are center­ ed upon him and that every move­ ment of his is noted. At the gather- lug in tbe Congregational Church last week Gen. Sherman oooupled a seat in theoenter of the stage alongside ef tbe old War Governor, Curtln, of Pennsylvania. These two old war horses, seemingly oblivious of their surroundings, kept up a constant and lively gossip all the evening. In which they innocently imagined were whis­ pered tones, bnt which in reality were base notes,so distinctly audible as to be heard in all parts of the house. Those on the stage must have heard what they were talking about, too, as the faoes of the hundreds so favored were continually wreathed in smiles, while once or twice their owners burst into Involuntary laughter as Gen. Sherman would get oil some good •tory on Curtin or Curtln would strike back at tho General The stately and dignified Senator Sherman glanced re­ provingly at bis elder brother, but it bad no effect at all in quieting him, and only served to amuse tbe surround­ ing crowd of veterans who witnessed the futile efforts to suppress Old Te- cumseh," Department of Illinois--O.
