Corporal Tanner lost his legs in the war, but he ran better for Commissioner than any of the" candidates, and "got there all the same." There are 885 soldiers on the pension roll who draw $72 a month on account of total hlindnes*. Soldiers who lost both legs and both arms, or who became insane in the service, also draw $72 j>er month. The total number of all classes who draw $72 a month is nearly 2,000. Ex-President Cleveland has subscribed $50 to the fund in aid of the Confederate Home, Austin, Tex. This generous Republic doles out to each of 511,722 pensioners the enormous sum of 0% cents ]ter day. The present Commissioner of pensions has asked that the amount be doubled, and the propo­ sition has been received with horror all along the Democratic line. Commissioner Tanner sends thanks. Tn a letter to a war veteran's club in Philadelphia he says; "If my life is spared 1 shall from day to day during my term make my best thanks to them and all the comrades for their most gen­ erous indorsement by most earnest work for our suffering comrades, their widows and orphans. JAMKS TANNER. A young Boetonian has written to several prominent generals asking how they felt in their first battle. Gen. Sher­ man says that such questions are hard to answer. Admiral Porter says his first battle occurred when he was twelveyears of age, and that he did not feel much afraid. Gen. Pleasanton remarks that his first battle was in Mexico in 1846, and that he felt that the sooner the enemy was thrashed the better it would be, while Gen. Averell says the battle of Bull Run, 1861. was his first, and that wlieu he saw the enemy he thought that a great and usless crime was about to be committed.--New York World. Charles D. Shank, a special examiner at Lima, 0., recently wrote to Commis­ sioner Tanner offering his resignation, saying he supposed the Commissioner would not care to retain in offce men not in sympathy with him politically. To this Commissioner Tanner replied as fol­ lows: "I beg to assure you that I did not sit down in this office to wage war­ fare 011 employes thereof who may hap­ pen to differ from me politically; especial­ ly if, as in your case, they were men who, like myself, wore the blue." Hecontinued to say he wanted efficiency, with a dispo­ sition to help the old soldier to prove his claim rather than a disposition to knock him out. The Boys of '61. The number of soldiers furnished un­ der the various calls for troops during the first year of the war (1861), all grades, 700,680. of which number 657, 868 were for three years. During the second year of the war (1862), 411,465 three years' men were furnished, and in addition to this number 87,588 men were famished for nine months' service. In 1868 the number of men furnished for three years amounted in round num­ bers to 366,380. In 1864, for three years, 500,209; for one year, 374,417. The whole number of men furnished during the war by the States and Terri­ tories reduced to a three year enlistment standard amounted to 2,320,172. This includes all re-enlistments and doubling of short services. It is safe to say that 1,000,000 men have borne the brunt of battle with the affronts and hardships of camp life for a continous period of three years or more. Of this number about one-half are now l'.ving, and the majority of them ma,y be found in the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic.--Volun teer. MoKsnry County Soldiers* sad Bailors Association.

Six­ ty-eight years ago, when the State of Alabama was admitted into the Union a site for a capita,1 was selected on the west bank of the Alabama River, a hun­ dred and thirty miles north-east from Mobile, fifty miles south-west from Montgomery. This place was called Ca- haba. Cahaba grew to be five thousand strong, and a center of politics, of law, of learning, of religion, of trade, of agricul­ ture, and of fashion. Cahaba had a proud care<jK for forty years--flashed up­ on the wo™ like a meteor, rushed along blazing path, and passed away forever Castle Morgan, the nam® given to tlu prison for the retention of Federal pris­ oners at Cahaba, had been an old cotton and corn shed, located but a rod or two from the banks of the Alabama River. In an enclosure 190 feet long and 111 feet. »wide--21,000 surface feet--were crowded over 3,000 men, giving to each man a space of only 2% feet wide by 2 4-5 feet long. It has often been claimed and by those who ought to be well informed, that Cahaba was one of the worst slaughter pens that the South contained, and there are many who claim it to have been the most infamous. It must be ad­ mitted for its size it was far more crowd­ ed even than Andersonville. Be that as it may, Cahaba was a terrible place to contemplate, and it is indeed a wonder that any prisoner who was unfortunate enough to enter its gates passed out alive and a free man. • • • • • • - • • Capt. Hanchette had been captured about Nov. 23d, 1864, in company with a small number of men belonging to the brigade of Colonel Horace Capron. At tho time of his capture he was Acting Assistant Adjutant General of the bn- giids. Canron's Brigade was then scout­ ing on the Waynasboro Pike, twenty miles from Columbia, Tenn., and an equal distance from any support. Here it was briBkly attacked by Forrest's caval­ ry and lost thirteen men captured; among these were Captain Hanchette and several wounded. That a true his­ tory of Captaiu Hauchette's connection with the insurrection (in the rebel prison) and a just estimate of the character of the man himself lie given, the author, to add to his personal knowledge, has sought information from many sources. Previous to enlistment he was an at­ torney practicing law at Woodstock, McHenry county, 111. From that place he entered the United States' service, be­ ing commissioned a Capttiin in Company M. The date of his enlistment was No­ vember 4th, 1862; the date of his com­ mission as captain was May 19th, 1863. He was promoted and commissioned as Major Dec. 21st, 1864, to rank as such from June 8th, 1864. His promotion, then, was given him three or four weeks after his capture, and for that reason he was never mustered in as a Major. This fact explains why by some of his acquaint- ances he was spoken of as a Captain and by others as a Major. At the time of his entrance to Castle Morgan, he presented the appearance of a person in the full maturity of man­ hood. His age was thirty-nine years; hie height was five feet, seven and one- half inches; hair dark, but thin on the crown; eyes dark, searching and intelli­ gent; skin clear and ruddy; face clean shaven. His form was compact, and be­ tokened much physical strength. In si>eech his words were not profuse, but left an impression upon those who ob­ served him closelv, and he possessed a re­ serve power ready to be used when an oc­ casion of sufficient importance should call it forth. He inspired those with whom he was associated in the plot for insurrection with an unquestionable con­ fidence in his manly courage and almost superhuman boldness. By them he is re­ membered as one who, after carefully weighing a fearful responsibility, was willing to assume it, if there was a reason­ able probability that by so doing the condition of his comrades might be bet­ tered; and a few weeks after his capture when the attempt at the liberation of his imprisoned companions had been made and had failed, he rendered the name of "Solon Hanchette" forever glorious by positively refusing to ameliorate his own junisliment by betrayiug the identity of lis associates. Some intelligent persons have conjectured that he was willing to be captured. It has been asserted that he had long contemplated, while doing duty in the field, a project for the libera­ tion of the prisoners in the crowded camps of the Confederacy. There is no foundation for such an opinion; but on the other hand, there is positive testi­ mony that he determined never to enter a large prison if it could be avoided. He remained with the little squad from Capron's Brigade for three or four days, and to one of them--Ezra C. Spencer, of the Eighth Michigan Cavalry--he ex­ pressed his determination to escape at the earliest possible opportunity. A cor­ dial friendship sprang up between Han­ chette and Spencer from the first, and an informal compact was entered into be­ tween them, that so long as they were permitted to remain together, the two should be partners in any attempt at (Ib be ContmuegjL) What Brother Faber had to say re­ garding Memorial Day, at Richmond in hiis issue of the Gazette of the same week: The Memorial Day services this after­ noon were interesting and impressive as usual, and nothing but a scarcity of time is our excuse for making our notice extremely brief. At 2 o'clock the pro*« cession, headed by the members of the G. A. R., marched to the cemetery and strewed flowers upon the graves of twenty-one heroes who fought and bled and died. Upon the return of the veter­ ans to the church, the program was carried out in the presence of a great audience. Rev. Harbaugh made the invocation, followed by a few interesting remarks from Rev. W. A Cross. This was followed by the Memorial address delivered by prof. F. L. Carr. It was a tine effort and was highly appreciated. Miss Jennie Denison followed .. select reading, who was in turn f< by a poem read by Rev. Har Charles Eldredge of Chicago coi the literary portion of the, with recitation. The literaiy were abundantly interspersed Hf and instrumental music, of wbicb net solo by Earle Eldredge f "~ sol® entitled "The Sword •»* 1 by will Sherman,. doflerre HBQtooUt- comium." After other intemsthip exerdtae been gone through with in the ance of Memorial Day at Harvard, i lain Satterfield, of the old 95th " Volunteers, addressed his old and others assembled. W« clip Independent the following; Rev. T. R. Satterfield, of Aldaj merly Chaplain of the 95th Illinc fantry was then introduced and del an eloquent address, full of the tion of a grand patriotism which wC long remembered by all who listened him. Following is a brief abstract of 1 speech: Twenty-four years ago the last gun off-3 the war was fired, and it is now tweotjf* eight years since the first gun of the War was fired. It is well to refresh our mnta- ories on this occasion. At the "nttrnmlr ai, of that contest all loyal people in ti» North and West believed that this cram, try must be saved, and they based belief upon the great principles ciated by tlie Declaration of Inde ence. Mr. Lincoln voiced the feelings of SDL patriotic people when in bis efforts to' preserve peace he said to the peopl» the South--"We must all be frifl He reminded those people that tl they may have registered an oath stroy this government there were ] men enough in the North and Wesfc td save it. Mr. Lincoln manifested toward': those who were actively conspirfaigt to w break up this Union, unparafldMI'• bearance. They persisted and Fort Sumter was fired upon and Anderson forced to surrender, the and Stripes were trailed in the dust. * tfp The North was opposed to war. The M purpose of the war was seen when they declared that if they were given » hlngfc; ... piece of paper upon which they aiSn-J^ write the conditions under which fEgr "i| would remain in the Union they ireeHNij^! reject it. War came, and THEM patriots gave | themselves to save the nation from SHFT-J! ruption. The good people of the were justified in arising in their overthrow rebellion and estabHsfiTLWTI||| dom. Every roar at cannon broke a shackle. ' X . Gen. Logan said this country could never pay the debt she owed her soldkviu. The names of tho great leaders }& 'fjfil' war will always be justly hoaoted "iitlt the reai heroes were the rank and file ot |§f the army, and from them have come Joe Fifer and Corporal Tanner. The Chaplains did not do much figb|> ing, but they prayed right to the ^ that our boys might have courage ' steady nerves and (lead shots. To the women of our country who sent |fj lint and bandages to the front for wonnd- '"'..vj ed men--who braved danger tab labor as :.l§| nurses in hospitals, and all the Work of "mi the Sanitary Commission, we must accord a full share of glory for the victories won. , < All honor to the women of America who are now members of the Woman's Belief. Corps. • "'HI We honor bravery everywhere. All hail to the soldiers and sailors who went down to death in the sea and in the riv- \,i ers during the war.

A selection by the band and si America by the audience, led by the , tette, closed the exercises in the R" Academy. The procession then formed ami marched to the MEount Auburn Cemetery, where all the soldiers' graves were with flowers. Decoration Day was observed by the patriotic citizens of Woodstock wad vi- j cinity in a very becoming manner, with* out any lack of interest, as the attend­ ance was large considering the bad state of the weather. The memorial serrtSe# were held in the court house under the auspices of Woodstock Post 108, G. A. R., and were of an interesting nature. The address was delivered by an old sol- ^ dier, the Hon. H. C. Hamburger, of Chi­ cago, and his effort is highly spoken of by all who listened to him. It was short, but to the point; full of rich thougfct ana eloquence. The Rev. S. C. Hay, pastor 1 of the Presbyterian church, was "Hplftin : of the day and the choir furnished exeei- lent music.
