Battery A, Chicago Light Artillery Veteran Association will hold Its third annual reunion in Chicago Oct. 4. The conspiracy of the soldier hating papers to break down the G. A, R. by direct attack having failed inglorious- ly, sotne of them are casting about to see if something cannot be done in the way of making the advocate of a serv­ ice pension appear in hostility to Com- mander-ln-Chief Fairchild and the Order. We may expect the "organs to tune up all along the line on this with the same unanimity that they have displayed in their usual discord­ ant chorus. The camp-follower of Bragg'g army who edits the Louisville Cottier-Jour- tsaid in his paper of July 20: The O, A. R. is entitled to no mere consideration than Herr Moat's club of anarchists or communists, One like the other Is demanding a distribution of property and the sentiment back of each is that of communism. If that be treason, make the most of it!! He had the same feelings, though he expressed them differently, years ago while the G, A. R. boys belonging te the Army of the Cumberland were driving Bragg through one state after another. Let all ex-prtsoners of war remem­ ber that the jneetlng of the National Association is la Chicago Sept. 22 and 23. It Is exceedingly desirable that th*re should be a targe attendance. Not only the regular delegates are de­ sired to be present, but every other dx-prisoaer la earnestly invited to be present, greet his old-time comrades, and join wl tn them in considering course of action before the coming Congress which will bring relief to tho long neglected victims of rebel barbarities. • The G, A. R. committee in charge of the great sham battle at the Minae sota state fair have received gwerd from Gen. Lucius Fairchild, grand commander of the G. A. R. of the United ritates that he will be present and take part in the great battle. Gen. Lew Wallace, of Indiana, will al­ so be present and have command of one of the armies. Over 5,000 old sol­ diers and state militia will participate in tho battle. There will be fourteen pieces of artillery and 5,000 small arms in the engagement, which will be the grandest exhibition of the kind ever seen In this country. THE following are tho officers of McHenry Tost, No. 643, which was mustered oa Monday evening of last week: L. E. Bennett, Commander. J. C. Clemens, 8. V". " Geo. Rothermel, J. V." Adjutant, Wm. Henry Harrison. Quartermaster, E. Lawlus, Chaplain, M. M. Chase. Surgeon, Dr. A. S.Childa. Officer of the Day, Henry C. Mead, " " Guard, Anton Weber Q. M. 8., Peter Leickem. 8. Major, W. H. Harrison. The Post is not yet la easy working order but promises to be one of the largest in the county. If there were no hate except that in the hearts of the soldiers, the country would be as peaceful as though there bad been no war. It Is the non-com- batants, generally, who have most to Bay about fraternal feeling. But be­ cause the Union soldiers cherish no hatred toward those whom they met on bloody fields, it does not follow that they do not despise the Northern copperheads who, too cowardly to fight, remained at home to fire In the rear, and nrho to-day are endeavoring to annul and destroy the principles which were won in four long years of conflict. Be tweed these men and the Union soldiers there can be no frater­ nal feeling, nor aught bat a deadly struggle. Circular No. 8, dated Aug. 2G, Na­ tional headquarters, has been promul­ gated. It contains the following Items of interest: The business meetings of the twenty-first annual encampment will occur Sept. 28, 29, and 30 at St. Louis. The parade will take place at ten o'clock A. M., Sept. 27, only mem­ bers of the Grand Army, veterans of the late war not members, and SODS of Teterans will participate in It. The business sessions will be held in Ex- MilMAiHall. The tee of the Council of Administration will meet Monday evening at the Southern Hotel. National headquar­ ters will be established at the South •rn Hotel at room 66, on the evening of Sept. 26. The following Is a clause adopted by the Republicans In thier platform at at the recent Iowa State Convention. As it refers to the ex-soldiers, and In their Interest, it will give the pension shrlekers, rebel sympathizers, north­ ern doi%h-faoes and their allies, the soldier hating press, both big and di­ minutive, ah additional excuse for a pretex to howl and exhibit tbair hatred toward LIBERAL PENSIONS, 8--This government, saved from de­ struction by treason by the patriotism and valor of the Union Soldiers, can­ not afford in justice and honor to deal less then justly with them. It should cordially and promptly bestow as an obligation ef the government and not as a charity liberal pensions to all dis­ abled or dependent eeldieri, and to the dependent widows pareut of sol diers, thus preventing any suflering and want from comiag to those to whom the Nation owes a debt It oan never repay. Speaking of the pension demands In the Ohio Republican platform the Boston Herald says: "This kind of legislation is degrading; It Is demoral­ izing; It Is dishonest.-McHenry County Democrat, We cannot but think that tho Demo­ crat could find matter ef more Interest to all loyal people than to copy from such soldier hatiag papers as the Bos­ ton Herald and other copperhead sheets, but so long as they do we are of course inclined to believe that they indorse such fender affection for the ex-union soldier as that quoted above. Comrades and others will find below tho patrlotlo clause In tho platform of the Olilo Convention, (Republican), that calls forth such expressions of hatred toward those that wore the blue as those emanating from the Bos ton Heraid and papers of that Ilk. We demand of Congress that it pass, and of the President that he approve, liberal enactments pensioning the sol diers of the country; that the helpless widows ol dead soldiers, regardless of the cause of death, dependent parents and disabled soldiers, shall receive the oounty of the nation they fought to save, and which they richly deservo. The G. A. B. still Bol'd and with Unbroken Raaks. For some months past tho soldier hating prece have been endeavoring to breed disensjon at^d break up the G A, R. Nothing has been spared to make a success of their undertaking. The most contemptablo lies have been promulgated, and the most despicable means imaginable gone Into to accom­ plish what was sought, but all to no avail, for to-daj the G. A. R. Is strong­ er than ever and growing rapidly, there having been over forty new posts organized during the past few weeks and one of these right hero in our own county, the Mc Henry County Democrat notwithstanding. We refer to the post organized in McHenry last week. There are now over 6,330 Posts in tho United States, and In all the bitter warfare waged there has just one post, located In New Jersey that has been seduced from its ranks. The following from National Trib une tells the story and proves what we havo said as to its present strength eto HARBOW POST VINDICATES ITSELF.-- When we spoke last week of the ne^ result of the months of bitter warfare which the soldier bating papers have been making on the G. A. R., we said that but two Posts--one in Indiana and one in New .Tersoy--had been seduced frita the solid rankB of the Order- only two Posts out of 6,330; This seem­ ed a wonderfully good showing. Now it turns out that the Indiana Post- Harrow. of Mt. Vernon--did not go over to the enemy. An evil disposed fellow took advantage of a sllmly at­ tended meeting--there were but 11 present, of whom 6 were of his crowd --to introduce and pass some miserable resolutions denouncing those who op­ posed the President's visit to the Na­ tional Encampment as being on a level with those who plotted to assassinate Lincoln in his passage through Baltl more in 1S61. He rushed down to the telegraph office, and had these sent as an Associated Press dispatch, and the soldier hating papers could not contain their joy over them. The members of Harrow Post were amazed and Indig­ nant. At the next meeting of the Post they were out in full force, and they passed resolutions which spoke in fit­ ting terms of the outrage committed upon them. They invited the papers which had made so much of the bogus and indecent resolutions to give simi­ lar publicity to the real sentiments of the Post, but, of course, the request was unheeded, Those sheet* do not want any G. A. R. News but what Is damaging to the Order. From the Ohicago'ihfer-Ocean. •' Department of Illinois, G. A. Comrade Phoclon Howard made re­ union speeches at Henry Aug. 24, and at Dixon and Leroy Aug. 25. A reunion of veterans at Dixon dur­ ing the present week was attended by 1500 of tho boys who wore the blue. The Macoupin County Soldiers and Sailors1 Association will hold its an­ nual reunion at GIrard Aug. 24 and 25. j. B. Wilson post No. 640, located at Broughton, Hamilton County, was mustered Aug. 17. by J. W. Butler, 3. M. O,, with 26 charter members. The reunion at Ottawa was largely attended by veterans. General P. S. Post, Major McClaughrey, Col. W. L. Distin, General R. M. B. Wallace, and many other distinguished aoldlers ware, present. The following camps of Son* «f Vet­ erans were mustered recently: H* 112 at Mt. Pul&ski, Mo. 113 it Morphyt- bero, Na 114 at Hllleboro. No. 115 & Canton. No. 116 aft Pom, No. 117 at Kewaneo, No. 118 at Rosevillo, No. 119 at Jacksonville, No. ISO at DlSote, No. 121 at Verona. Comrade John KbNalta, receiver of the Wabash Railway, attended the rennlon of bis regiment, tho 94tb Illi­ nois Volunteers, at Leroy. Comrade McNulty commanded tho Mth as lta colonel and won tho brevet of briga­ dier general. He delivered tbe annuel address on the 25th. At the regular mooting of B&rtleaon Post "at Jollet last Tuesday evening, an event took place wbioh rekindled ^ the latent flame of patriotism ia tho heart of every veteran present. A life size portrait of General John A, Logan was brought into tbo ball, which had tho efleot to Inspire tbo boys with war-time memories. Tho inspiration burst out in irreproeeiblo applause when Comrade John C, Lug presented to the post a largo plotoro < of Andersonvlllo Prison, drawn by one of the prisoners. Comrade Lang's words fairly burned into tho hearts of bis listeners as he described tho prison pens of the South and the snfisriags of the Union soldiers confined therein. ^ A vote of thanks was tendered Com­ rade Lang, Comrade E. A. Nattlngor, of Ottawa, was present as a visitor, Ne vins Post No, 1, Rock ford, hold ft grand camp-fire and reception last Monday evening In honor of Comman­ der-in-Chief Lncius Fairchild, Com* rades were In attendance from Belolt« Bel vide re, Stillman Valley, Byron.

Speeches were made by Com­ rades Lucius Fairchild, E. B. Gray, Phil Cheek. Jr., J. W. Bant, Smith D. Atkins, T. G. Lawler, and others. Miss Daisy Force, the daughter of tho "Iron Brigade," sang soveral patriotic songs; the Webber Quartette also ren­ dered soveral American songs. Tho ladios of tho Woman's Relief Corps Drovided a sumptuous banquet at Post Hall. After the eatables had boon disposed of the camp-fire exercisss were resumed and kept up until tho •'wee sma'" hours reminded tho par­ ticipants that night had gone and morning was with them. Then a ma­ jority rttired to their honfes, white* J few continued the festivities In aqni- et way at the hall and Hoffman House. The camp-fire burned low at daybreak. The comrades of Nevlns Post, and tho estimable ladies of the W. R. C. have won a world-wide reputation for thotr generous hospitality. THK ORDKB AT LABOR.

The parade on the morning ot Sept. 27 will be the largest body of marching men seen since the grand review at Wash­ ington In 1865. It is expected that fully 75,000 veterans will attend the National encampment. The people of St. Louis are exceedingly anxious te give the "boys in blue" the grandest and most gorgeous reception accorded them since the war and feel oenMoat that they will eclipse their neighbors of the Pacific slope.
