There are a number of crippled old sol­ diers employed in the Capitol building, and as should be the case, they have a tolerably easy time of it. Several of these old soldiers are employed on the Senate side, which very conservative body never thinks of removing any of its employes, while over a dozen are em­ ployed as messengers and door keepers on the House side. The 48th Congress pafsed a law creating what is known as the disabled soldiers' roll, and any man who once gets his name upon that roll, no matter what may be his politics or the complexion of the House, he cannot be discharged except for good and suffi­ cient reasons, and then only by a vote of the House. . Among those employed by the House, Comrade S. H. Decker, of Ohio, is the worst injured man, having lost both arms at the battle of Perryville, Ky., by the premature discharge of the gun which he was serving. He gets $100 a month pension besides his salary. Hugh Lewis lost an arm at the second Bull Run; John Stewart left an arm at Chan- cellorsville; Fernando Page lost both legs in battle by the explosion of a shell; James J. McConnell left a leg at Stevens- burg, Va.; John R. Whitaker was sim­ ilarly bereft at Richmond, Ky.; J. W. White lost an arm at Joneeboro, Ga.; John Rome lost his right arm in Mexico; E. 8. Williams loct a leg while serving in the Army of the Potomac; W. T. Fitch bad one of his legs rendered useless by a musket ball; William Irving, of the 38th Ohio, lost a leg and had the other dis­ abled in battle; John Ryan and John A. Travis are both minus a leg; J. P. Wil­ son had his lower jaw shot away at Fort Donelson. , Seven of the fourteen men on the House roll were appointed by the Republicans and seven by the Democrats, thus even­ ing up the matter politically. On the Senate side John Q. Merritt lost the use of his right leg at the diet battle of Bull Run, and also received a medal of honor; J. Ball lost an arm at Fort Blakely, Ala., and J. M. Pipes lost his arm while serving in a Pennsylvania reg­ iment in the Army of the Potomac, Of course all the employees who served in the TTnion army draw pensions besides the salaries they receive, and their salar ries are generally comfortable, bat THEY fteserve all they GET. ^ "In tiie death of Gen. Samuel H. Roberts, of Brooklyn, the Grand Annjjr of Kings County lost one of itsoMeetaw] most honored comrades. He Jived to celebrate the 51st anniversary of his entrance into military life., having served mjfny years in the Regular Army and State militia. At the breaking out of the war he went to the front CM Lieutenant- Colonel of the 139th N. Y., and soon became its Colonel. He served through­ out the war. On the night of Sept. 28, 1864, the division to which his regiment was attached crossed the James River and attacked the enemy at Fort Harrison which they captured. For the gallant part taken in the fight Col. Roberts was brevetted Brigadier-General. Col. Roberts and Gen. Phil Sheridan were great friends owing to the base established for Sheri­ dan by Robert's Brigade after his great raid through the Shenandoah Valley to the James River, where he joined Gen. G rant. On this occasion Sheridan arrived severed days sooner than he expected, and to his surprise and gratification found .Roberts and his men awaiting him. For this Roberts was complimented in General Orders by Gen. Grant. General Roberts was quite tall and thin, and dur­ ing the Centennial year visited Philadel­ phia. One morning while taking a walk along Chestnnt street he heard some one shouting: "Roberts! Roberts 1" He turned and found Sheridan running alter him. After the cordial greeting Roberts inquired of Sheridan how he came to know him. "Well," replied Phil, "I knew yoa by your back. Your back and front are so near alike that no one with a straight eye could mistake." After which the two old vets proceeded to lubricate. Gen. Roberts was at one time Postmaster of Brooklyn, and has held other respon­ sible positions. He was a charter mem­ ber of Rankin Poet, No. 10. He has been in failing health for several years. He was a good soldier, a good eitisen and a good comrade." The Army of Ut* f raotiar But little has been written or said in reference to the great work done by this grand body of men who from April, 1861, to the dole of 1862, stood guard over the nation's interests in the southwest, and perchance, if it had been named by the Waa* Department "Army of the South­ west," it would have gained a more dis­ tinctive place in war annals. Be that as it may, the army existed and was an im­ portant factor iu crushing out the .great 4^!ion. - - " • iiiji niipit|ijfj It is of one battle that I &mf9 $rsay a word or two, and also aa w a comiag reunion of that army in Chicago, Dec. 7, on the auniversary of that decisive aad severe battle, "Prairie Grove," Ark. In August, 1861, General Lyon gave his life in the great Wilson Creek fight, twelve miles from Springfield, Mo., and while a victory to our Onion army, was more or less a drawn battle, because the rebels soon regained their loss and ware up again and at it. The fight at Pea Ridge or Elkhorn tavern, near the Arkansas and Missouri line, in May, 1862, followed, with Biegal a prominent factor, and again, while a victory to our side, the enemy, WM not overthrown. New troops came to the field in August, 1862, under Lincoln's call for 600,000 men, and many of these made up a part of the composition of the Army of the Frontier. General Schofield was in command as Major General, and his two fighting lieutenants, Brigadier General Herron, and Brigadier General Blunt, had each a good division under their command. Herron had been a Cap­ tain in the First Iowa Infantry at Wilson Creek, a Lieutenant Colonel at Pea Ridge, and now wore a star. The fight came on with Herron first at Prairie Grove, that Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1862. He was marching south and south-west to re- enforce Blunt, who was at Cane Hill, and here met the rebel forces under Major General Hindman. Nearly all day long the battle waged, with Herron's 4,000 against Hindman's 30,000, when at four o'clock General Blunt's division arrived, and with his aid held completely at bay the rebels and punished them so severely that at mid­ night they abandoned the field. Losses were heavy on both sides, but look if you will in war annals and find in any other battle where the Union forces made the rebel casualties foot up in round num­ bers as many as they (the Union forces) had in the fight--but such you will find the fact in this sharp battle of Sunday, December 7,1862. Hindman and the rebels in the south­ west, never regained their former prestige after this battle, and the raid our boys made the last of December, 1862, to Van Buren and Fort Smith on the Arkansas river, and struck him another blow "all of a sudden," and burned three large transports heavily laden with stores and ammunition alter first, Yankee style, helping ourselves to a slice. Now as to the reunion of these boys on this anni­ versary. Wfio will be there? Who should be there? General John C. Black should be, for he led his brigade that day, he, a Colonel of the grand old 37th Illinois. General Herron, now in New York city, should be there and receive high encomiums for his bravery and grand military skill exhibited that day. General Schofield should be there as mas­ ter of ceremonies. Colonel Ijeake, of our city, United States Prosecuting Attorney, should be there, for he led the 20th Iowa along with the Second Brigade that moved at Gen. Black's command.

In all, the Pension Bureau has tfrawn out ot the Treasury f64,000,00ft since the 1st of July. Of this, fully f45,000,- 000 has already been distributed to the country, leaving f19,000,000 to be dis­ tributed between now and the first of January. This is practically adding, fan side of six months, to the ready money of the country, over fl per head for every man, woman and child in the Na­ tion. Owing to the manner in which, this was put into circulation it counted for perhaps 25 times as much, for where the veteran paid #10 of his pension to Jones to liquidate his indebtedness, Jones immediately used it to square his ac­ counts with Smith, Smith with Brown* Brown to Briggs, and so in a^hort time> the $10 have done the w]ork of many times that amount of money in the com* munity.
