Mail aad Express. The National Encampments of the Grand Army since 1882 have increased largely in attendance, 50,000 people at­ tending the encampment at Denver in 1883. At Minneapolis in 1884, there were 75,000; Portland, 1885, 100,000; San Francisco, 1880, 120,000; St. Louis, 1887, 150,000; Columbus, 1888, 200,- 000, and Milwaukee expects 250,000 in August. Of that number 100,000 will be veterans. I11 consolidating the "Post" and "Camp" systems of the S. of V., it was decided that the new body shall be known as the camp system, shall use the fraternal title "comrade" in place of "brolher," and the titles of officers shall conform to the usage of the Grand Army of the Republic, exwpt that, camps may organize a drill corps, which, when armed and equipped, may employ strict military tactics. The other details are left to the two commanders-in-chief of the consolidated bodies, except that it is pro­ vided the membership badge and charter of the camp system shall be used and the insignia and rank of the post system. The Home Guard'* Story. flie Colonels and the Majors had all told their recollections of the war, and even the privates had been heard. It was the turn of the home guard. We don't have much blood, but we had stirring times when Morgan invaded Indiana while you were down to the front. I was only a private, but we all served-with as much spirit and zeal as if we wertymembers of the General's staff. I renumber riding about carrying the tidings that Morgan was approaching. Down 011 the Shelbyville pike lived an old friend of mine. Biding down to j^riprni 1 called him out. " 'Hello, in there!' I shouted. " 'What's up?' was the reply. ^ " 'Morgan's coming. He is this side of Shelbyville. Better look out 1' " 'Great God!' the eccentric old farmer exclaimed. 'Is that so? Ride down to the toll-gate just below and tell the kee()er not to let him through until I drive up my slioats.'" The Mugwump Springfield Republican is naturally very much distressed at the new pension policy. It says: It wojild be useless to talk about "law" to the men now iu control of the Pension Bureau. The interpretations so far • made show that the statutes are of no consequence to Messrs. Bussey and Tan­ ner beyond the opportunity afforded for the distortion of their plain intent and meaning. The Republican was very anxious that every bondholder should be paid «100 cents in gold, and iuterest in the same coin, for every dollar he loaned the Government, and in this make a present to the money lenders of several times the amount that has been paid out for pen­ sions. But soldiers and money-lenders are very different "classes" in its esti­ mation. "Messrs. Bussey and Tanner" are only carrying out the dem­ and purpose of the law, just Secretaries of the Treasury carri the intent of the laws with regard boadholdfira.--iVatiooal Tritium* JMSSE HOWESt. M. a»KBLBY,COL. JroaSEERIiY Qjr 9th ILLINOIS GAV \ ,* 54"" H&S8! Owens and his comrades listened pa­ tiently to the words of the Captain, but deemed it bMt not to recede from the po­ sition they aad taken. They begged him again to postpone his outbreak for a few days until the tunnel could be completed, and men passed through it to co-operate with him from without. Hanchette was impatient and would brook no delay. He declared that his men were fresh, and strong, and eager, and that postpone­ ment. only increased the dangers of de­ tection. The convictions of each party, due in great measure to their different experiences, were positive and unyielding. They separated without having come to any agreement-, though Hanchette ex- pnwwed the hope that the tannel party would not fail to assist him in the su­ preme moment, when their help would be sorely needed. Believing that the out break would occur before the tunnel could be completed) work on this was suspended until it was certain what shouidiw the result of the €aptain' efforts. Hanchette hardly slept; day and night he devoted to organizing a baud of liber­ ators, and though Owecs and Collins and their party had given no assurance of aid, he spoke freely with theni, and an­ nounced his determination to strike the blow on the night of the 17th. When the momentous evening came his numbers were yet too few, and reluctantly he post­ poned it to the following night. The night of the 18th found him but little stronger than before; and he was again compelled to defer the scheme that was consuming his very life. He had, how­ ever, on that day won over to his views Sergeant Owens, and the two determined that another night should not pass with­ out an attempt to carry their plan into effect. The close of,? amia ry 19th ushered in|Ja night dark and coia and most cheer­ less. A few during the day had been added to his squad, and at nightfall he designated midnight as the hour for the attack. Midnight, and one, two, three ^rclock passed, with 110 assault upon the guards. Here and there, moving among the shivering forms cuddled together upon the ground, a careful watcher might have observed Hanchette diivcting one, imploring another, explaining to a few the cause of deiay. For three or four h«lirs a few of his trusted men lay Whit­ ing' patient ly as they had learned iu the years of their hard service. Four o'clock approaches: he dares not delay longer; and begging some to go and awaken the comrades of their acquaintance and in­ form them of the struggle soon to be attempted, he directed his chosen men to be iu readiness near the guards. Near the wide door or gate at the entrance of the inner prison was a bright tire that cast its rays out into the darkness over the prostrate forms of the captives. It was essential that a few should gather about this and obstruct the rays that entered the prison. Going to the spot where Collins was lying down, Sergeant Owens awakened him and whispered, "You must help; the attack will be made in a short time; you must not lie still and let it fail for want of your help. You see the pitch-pine fire just inside the big door which lights up most of the prison ---That lire must be darkened so the guards cannot see the men who are to capture tbein. You must be one to take care of that." Others will be there to assist you. Take along a blanket; shut off all the light that is possible. Be there at four." With this Owens went away to assist his chief in organizing his men. From a most interest ing statement of his experience in Castle Morgan, written by Comrade Collins, I quote the part per­ formed by himself: "I walked through the prison and inspected the guards. They did not seem over vigilant. The fire was built some twenty feet inside the prison, of pitch-pine fagots, and every time it would burn low the Corporal would replenish it with a fresh supply of fagots. At times a few prisoners who had got too cold to lie longer iu their nests would, by permission of the Cor­ poral, hover around the fire. This per­ mission was granted to only a few at a time. I made up my mind that the part assigned me would not be difficult to aerforin, aad resolved to do my part as jest I could. So I went back to my bunk to await the appointed time, but before it came around the Sergeant again called on me and urged me to be ready and make no delay. At about the right time as near as I can guess, I stole the only blanket that covered six or eight men, and with it thrown over my shoulders, 1 approached his highness, a corporal of the C. S. A., my teeth chattering, as he supposed from cold, but, as 1 knew, more from fright; at any rate it served a good purpose at this time. I begged the priv­ ilege of warming by the fire. He nodded, as much as to say all right; and I at once accepted the permission thus given, and got myself in position before the fire. Two or three others were sitting around the fire, but they soon crawled off to bed, and it was not long thereafter till 1 >va* oined by two more gentlemen with blan- iets over their shoulders. As they came up they gave me a knowing look, with the remark, 'It is awful cold," and took their places by the fire. We had not long to wait until the guard at post number one cried out, 'Post number one, four o'clock, and all is well.' Number two followed in the same way. They both stood at the door, and then it went ou around the prison to the last guard, when it died out in echoes far down the rivet*. In less than five minutes we 11 card the relief guard coming. The doors of the main entrance consisted of two large ones that tilled a space, I should think, ten or twelve feet wide. A small door was cut in one of these, about two by seven, for the guards to pass through at night. This small door was fastened by a bar on the outside, as were also the large ones. As soon as we heard the click of the bar we spread ourselves over the fire, not like angels of light, but her like angels of darkness. This was wed around the prison l>y a stifled, hered cry of 'Help, murder!' an- ] by an undertone, 'Silence, or you The door half opowd» ai»d aa tfea w i; 1 it'. 1 < i'-- j 1 1 .Zri .Ml- *.r y Corporal came in, he heard the cry around the prison and knew it meant trouble.

The Union army during the war was m Sj? letter-writing army. Even when the men IS,, were in the hospital their anxisjtgr to send Sc­ heme letters compelled the norM about with note paper rolled^ magazine and stuck with pens: an apron pocket. They had also the sad task of ing letters inquiring after husbands, SOBS.^ and brothers, who had been repo*te|f wounded. One come to a nurse James Biver, from a wife asking.'.all*^ her husbaud. She wrote: "Give him back to me dead, ii he is dead, for I must see him!" He had been buried the Sunday before. The nurse went out, searched for his *-s grave, and found it under a feathery dim * * tree. She made a sketch of f * sent it to the poor wife. A national Bntton. Under the same flag, for the same M cause, marched the bravest men in Auter. -ifi ica, yet to-day no common emblem, either badge or button, decorates the breasts of those who live. Ail were loyal, true, noble patriots, and did for the Uniott of these United States. They sat by the same camp fire. They formed the long line, they saw the a flag planted on the captured flights. The men of Maine and California were in • s the same hospital, the same trench held their forms when the soul had passed to heaven. To-day, when the ties of comradeship are drawing them closer together, the badge the organization, the corps emblem, and the regimental token stand out showing that they are one, bat divided parts of a grand army. A tew weeks ago bills for buttons for veterans were before the legislatures of tw,o States. There is the usual delay and though these and other bodies repre­ senting the law making power of the States will soon act, there is no way of telling exactly when. A new idea has come from some of the veterans and it is a thought worthy uf being made a fact. The men w^o fought for the Union went to the front representing theNation. Such Iteing the ease why should there not be a National bntton, made and dis­ tributed to every one of the veterans, whether they are from Wisconsin or New York, whether fhey were with Grant or Farragut? There are many veterans who do m*>t belong to any of the soldiers* organization, many will never see the State they left in those dark days* when freedom was the stake. AVhv uot have a Natioual buttou, oa* that, like the flag, will represent all? If the idea suits the veterans there is a way to bring it about.
