HEADQUARTERS BULLETIN.Sons or Veterans Grand Army UIuc Look.

Toledo, O., Dec 20, 1SS-1- .

Communications from several of the GrandArmy Committees, concerning matters withintheir own particular province, have readiedHeadquarters the past week. The most im-

portant of llicfc was the information from Gen.Geo. S. Jlcrrill, Chairman of tho Pension Com-

mittee, to the effect that the Committee haddecided to press petitions for the passage of theMexican Pension Bill and its Amendments.This information was most gratifying to theCommander-in-Chie- f, who warmly approvesthis action upon the part of the Committee,deeming such legislation tho only practicablemeasure of relief now proposed before thoUnited States Congress.

From Gen. Wagner, of Pennsylvania, PastCommander-in-Chie- f and Chairman of thoCommittee on

SOXS OF VETERANS,

information conies that ho has addressed a Cir-

cular Letter to members of the Committee andnational officers, accompanied by copies of thoRules and Regulations of the various Orders ofSons of Veterans, asking for suggestions .andrecommendations bearing upon the adoption ofsuch common form of work for this importantyoung Order as shall be acceptable to tho vet-erans of the Grand Army, in whose name theyare organized. Gen. Wagner heartily concursin the recommendation of Commander-in-Chie- f

Konntz that the work of the Committee boconducted by correspondence, and that thefinal action "of the Committee bo postponeduntil the meeting of the Grand Encampmentat Portland. This will be a great saving ofexpense to the Grand Army, and the work willbe quite as satisfactorily and systematicallydone, under Gen. Wagner's comprehensivemanagement.

it will be found in full immediately following.In addition to the law points, Comrade BeathLas added explanations or suggestions, andcites the action of the National Encampmenton a number of disputed points.

The preface gives a brief sketch of the forma-tion of the G.A.R., ascribing to Dr. B. F. Ste-phenson the honor of being the founder of theorganization. Experienced comrades who haveseen proofs of this Blue Book speak of it inLigh terms as a valuable and useful coutribu-tio- n

to the working forces of the G.A.R.Commander-in-Chie- f Kountz, who has ex-

amined the work and speaks of it in the high-est praise, says it will be invaluable to everyoflieer and comrade who wishes to becomethoroughly familiar with the laws and usagesof the Graud Army of the Republic.

PASSED THE GRAND GUARD.Surg. Pierce or the With 111., Joins the Iinhiblo

Hosts.Gen. J. C. Smith, Stale Treasurer of Illinois

and Lieutenant Governor-elec- t, delivered theeulogy at AVarrcn, 111., Nov. 110, (the anniver-sary of the battle of Franklin,) Over tho re-

mains of Surg. Ryron G. Pierce, of tho 9Gth111., from which we extract tho followingeloquent and appropriate tribute:

To the remnant of that glorious old regiment, myold comrades, the gallant men I see before me, whoweic a part of the Doth 111., 1 desire partieulaily toaddress the few remarks 1 now wish to make. Iwell icmember the deceased and the lime he joinedhis regiment in the AVinter of 1802, when nearNashville, Tcnn. Each soldier present will recallthe valuable services of the Doctor during tho try-ing campaign to Duck River after Aran Dorn; eachwill think over the kind words and tho promptmedical lelicf afibrded by our Surgeon as weary,fool-sor- e and biokcu down wo trudged alongthrough that inclement weather. A'e all recall hisclose attention to duty during the Tullahoma cam-paign and its final ending in that terrible battle ofChickamauga, which in many respects was thegreatest battle of the late war. I can sec him now,as on the day after that battle he probed a woundor amputated a limb. I see before him, awaitingtheir turn, many who long sinco have passed overto the silent majority Henry 3Iaek, Steve Black-ston- e,

Thomas Johnson, L.C. Crowell. Corp. Thos.Porter, Lieut. Geo. F. Barnes and S. B. Funk, andof tho'-- e who are present to-da- y, our gallant stand-ard bearer, James Hicks; Sergts. AV. II. Bobbins,"II. S. A'anDcrvort and Alviu J. Francisco. I re-member his services' at Lookout 3Iotmtain, MissionRidge, Chattanooga and Buzzard Roost, whilst woall recall his faithful and earnest labors during theAtlanta campaign up to and including its finalending at Franklin and Nashville. How duringthe march lip would be called upon perhaps toprescribe for a Dan Sullivan, Ben. AVoodworth,Henry Godding, 15. A. Charter, Tom. Sherk, Baser,or some other bravo soldier; dicss the wounds ofa Beri Scrviss, patch thu face of a Harry Barnum,or minister to the dying wants of those torn anddestroyed by the shrieking shell or whistlingbullet.

I remember well being under tho care of Drs.Byron G. Pierce and Fred. AV. Byers when myown wounds were probed and dressed at Kencsaw3Iountain, and how tender and careful each of themwere. Those brave comrades, Geo. AV. Pcpoon,Dan. AV. Dimmick, AVailacc Tear, Jos. L. Pierce(brother of tho late Surgeon), Thos. II. Mnynurd,and many others present, can attest the constantcaicand watchfulness of our deceased comrade onall occasions during the weary march, the exposedbivouac, or dreadful battlefield.

Need I mention more? Oh, no! His memory isdeeply engraved upon our hearts, and there it willremain till life shall be no nioie. Have you thoughtof it, my dear comrades, that on the 21st anniver-sary of your storming the bights of Lookout 3Ioun-tai- n,

when you placed our starry banner highabove the clouds, up, up, in Iheblue vault of heavenitbclf, or as you su opt down into the valley of Chat-tanooga and over the slopes of 3Iission Ridge; thaton the anniversary of those gicat achievements,which brighten the pages of our country's histoiy,and of which you arc apart, the imprisoned soul ofour departed comrade was struggling to rend thobonds of mortality and soar away above the bightswheron you planted the flag of your country, andrise btill higher, even into that glorious heavenitself?

Anothr thought, my dear comrades, and I havedone. Has it occurred to you that you are calledupon to render the last honors to our departed Sur-geon on this 30th day of November, th 20th an-niversary of one of the moat important battles ofthe late war, the battlo of Franklin, a battle inwhich you shattered the rebel forces of Hood, kill-ing, wounding and capturing 13 general officers, agreater casualty than befel them even at Gettys-burg? How befitting the day that we should layhim to rcbt, a soldier's day in which lie bore hispait, and pei formed a man's duty to his countryand his God.

Lay our Surgeon gently down, let the sod restlightly upon his bosom, for his spirit h:is gone tojoin the Grand Army in bivouac on the other bideof the dark river. He is now in camp with ourbrave comrades who have gone before. He hasrejoined the field and btafi'of tho glorious old 9Gth111., and Quailcrmaster Serg't AVm. L. Bean, Serg't-3Iaj- or

Francis Qulnn, that Christian boldicr Col.e L. Clarke, the brave commander Gen. Thos.

E. Champion, while the hundreds of bravo menand officers of the line, stand ready to greet himand give him a soldier's welcome.

They have already passed tho Grand Guard andpreceded us over "tho valley of the shadow ofdeath," and our late Surgeon Byron G. Pierce addsyet another link to the invisible chain which bindsus to that glorious band of comrades in the eternalrealms above.

Toledo, O., Dec. 16, 1SS1.This is, or ought to be, an exceedingly busy

time iu all Christian households; the time ofall others when woman's deft fingers are quick-ened in their labors by pure, unselfish love,friendship's esteem, or tender sympathy forsome one dependent tho season of Christmaspreparation.

Is there, I wonder, of all the holidays of thoyear, ono that brings such vividly brightmemories as this'glad Christmas time? Fromour earliest recollections, when littlo brainswcro set whirling with delight over tho won-derful stories of jolly Old Santa Claus and his" eight tiny reindeer," wo have ever associatedit with joyful surprise, iu which mother orsister had somo mysterious hand. I pity thoman or woman who does not anticipate somolittle gift in remembrance of that day, or whohas outgrown tho beautiful custom of wishinga "Merry Christmas" to somebody; or, stillmore, one who forgets that tho day comes witha double blessing that of giving as well as re-ceiving. AVho knows but somo little act of gen-erosity on your part may let in tho sunlighto'er some cloudy life, and make somo careworn,troubled face smile where only tho shadows ofgrief has rested, aud the heart, grown heavyand cold, grow soft and warm by this triflingshow of human sympathy.

Eut tho Woman's Keliof Corps needs no suchinjunction. Throughout tho vast territory ofits blessed work, whether in tho mountains ofthe Allegauics or tho Uockics, on the shores ofour lakes or on our broad prairies, echoing fromocean to ocean, comes to the needy and helplessunder their care, as witii ono voice,

Nothing better shows thoSPIRIT OF THE GIVERS

than is evinced by the good words from a num-ber of Colorado comrades in forwarding theirofferings of love. Adjutant Daniels, of Farra-g-ut

Post, Denver, in sending $3.60, ho wishes itwere a hundred times larger, and Comrade J.Harrison, Post Commander, in addressing theNational Treasurer (Mrs. L. A. Turner), says,specially referring to Miss Carroll :

BREAD FOR THE LIVING.The great services to humanity and our country

of the noble woman iu whose behalf this Post hasreceived your circular, demands the liveliest grati-tude and the most complete acknowledgement.The fact that Miss Carroll is dependent and thather great services have been thus and so long ig-nored, speaks but poorly for tho claim of ours tobe regarded as the exception among Republics agratelul one. The fact that it was not for hope ofany reward, that any citizen of the Republic maybe proud of abilities and the opportunity for theirexercise in its behalf, does not, of itself, in any de-gree compensate. If we cariupt heap grati-tude upon the 300,000 whose lorl lives went topurchase anew our liberties, whoso blood cementsanew the members of Union, there are stilltens of thousands whoso claims arc to-da- y

lingering in the shadow of scllish legislationalong with the slow justice that Anna EllaCarroll may not live to see, but which shouldwrite upon the grand monument the nations willone day rear to universal freedom: "It was breadthat was asked for by the living; we give thisstone to the dead." My Post is small and feeble.I think there were perhaps 13 members presentwhen the appeal was read. AVe are working men,and the old slave hunting spirit of capital in com-bination, which is fast reducing us to poverty andhas frightened out of many tho faith that shouldunite us for the general good, has left us little togive, but we send our mite with a Godspeed.

Forsyth Relief Corps, Toledo, O., has beeninspected by tho Department Inspector, Mrs.Battels, of Akron, who expressed herself grati-fied with its general condition. Its cash ex-penditures for widows and orphans' charity fortho past year were reported as about $600, in-

dependent of clothing and supplies upon whichno valuation has been placed. Akron is theplaco of meeting for the Annual Encampment,G.A.R., and Department Convention, W.R.C.,and Mrs. Battels reports that amulo arrange-ments will bo made for the caro of all.

Mrs. Emily V. Littlcfield, Department Presi-dent of Maine, writes :

I am pleased to report the organization of Free-man McGilvery Corps, No. 8, at Searsport. ThisCorps was instituted Oct. 3L by myself, assisted bythe Department Conductor, Nettie F. Scavey.There were 29 members present, nnd keeping thecharter open four weeks increased the number to51. Tho following oflieers were duly installed :Prcs., Margaret A. Snrgcnt; S. Ar.-P- ., Hattio E.Iluutoon; J. V.-P- ., Abbie P. Sawyer; Sec, HelenA. Stearns; Trcas., Cynthia AV. Hopkins; Chap.,Emily It. Young; Con., Orilla A. AVhitcomb; G.,Rilla S. AVhittccn. The ladies of this Corps wish-ing to start outfice of debt, and at the same timeto accept no pecuniary aid from the Post, notwith-standing the comrades stood ready with openpurses to help, arranged a program to be carriedout on the evening of the installation of oflieers,including a fine supper, which their friends wereinvited to pai take of at a small sum. The tableswere most bountifully supplied, and even after allhad been served there were many good things left.These wcro then disposed of to the highest bidder,Comrade Ulack acting as auctioneer, and S6 addi-tional receipts turned over to the ladies. Altogetherit was a perfect success, and the ladies have moneyleft in their treasury. I have since thought thoexample set by this Corps might be successfullyfollowed by others. It takes a little energy, butthey will feci amply repaid.

Tho newspapers who are engaged in heapingridicule on the pensioners of the lato war, andplacing them in the category of Governmentdcadbcats, had better stop for a brief time andrefresh their memory with tho days when theireditors wero cither fleeing to Canada to escapeconscription, or in somo northern saloon werecursing the Government for removing theshackles from the black S3rfs.

These men who aro now jeered at for beingpensioners wcro tho men who followed the flagof the Union through deadly carnage and weroleft upon Southern battlefields maimed for life.If it were not for their valor, their patriotism,their sacrifices, their devotion to tho Union,freedom of speech would bean unknown quan-tity in this year of our Lord 1631.

The pittance that the Government pays theselioroes is but a mere bagatelle in comparison tothe loss of health and limbs they underwentwhile battling to uphold tho Coustitution andtho Union.

Politicians can steal the Government poor, butwhen a man who stood up as a target lor rebelbullets asks for a pension he is pointed at as abeggar or a dead beat, when, in fact, he is a heroworthy of a Nation's lasting gratitude, and asworthy to wear orders of decoration as thefamed knights of old.

This Nation can never forget the men who,when ils enemies tried to tear its flag downand sever the tics of tho Union, left tho pur-suits of civil life aud marched to its defense,and the political party that forgets them hadbetter make preparations for its funeral.

Doesn't Think the CaTalry Should Hare all theCredit.

To the Editor : As one of your regularsubscribers I read your valuable paper withtho deepest interest, and am glad to see thecomrades throughout the country taking suchan interest in its welfare as to keep up theircontributions to tho columns of "FightingThem Over" so regularly; to me a most inter-esting feature of tho paper. It is well, however,that history so written should bo correct.

In your issue of Dec. 4, Comrade AVarren C.Hursh, Co. G, IstN. J. Cav., claiming merit forthe cavalry arm of the service in the series ofengagements beginning at Cedar Mountain andending with the second Bull Run, (and no onewho knows their hard and gallant service willwithhold it,) says: "Had it not been for ourcavalry at Cedar Mountain, Banks would havebeen routed long before noon."

Now, for tho cavalry to claim merit at theexpense of their comrades in the other branchesof the service is not just ; and in this instancetho representation of facts made is far fromtheir actual occurrence. Gen. Banks with hisCorps was in bivouac at Culpeper Court-hous- e

when, on the morning of Aug. 9, 18G2, tho fol-lowing order was received from Maj.-Ge- n. Jno.Pope, commanding tho Army of Virginia, andtaken down in writing at the time by Ass'tAdj't-Ge- u. Louis H. Pelouze, of Gen. Banks'sstaff:

Cuxpeper, 9:45 a. m., Aug. 9, 1S62.Gen. Banks to move to the front immediately,

assume command of all forces in the front, deployhis skirmishers if the enemy approaches, and attackhim immediately as soon as he approaches, and be

from here.As I was present at tho time the order was

Tcceived, I can bear testimony to tho accuracyof tho above, as I heard the order and have adistinct remembrance of it as above.

Now to tho point for the facts as they actu-ally occurred. In obedienco to the above orderGen. Banks at ouce put his Corps on the marchto tho front; the distance to Cedar Mountain,or where the battle was fought, was about sevenmiles. Starting at 9:45 in the morning it wasalready high noon before he reached it. Thewriter mado tho march with him. On reach-ing the field we found the cavalry in line andtheir skirmishers exchanging an occasionalshot with tlio enemy. Gen. Banks deployedhis lineatonce Gens. Crawford's and Gordon'sBrigades on the right, and Geary's and Prince'sBrigades on the left. In this position every-thing remained in perfect quiet until 4 o'clockin the afternoon, when, the enemy showing adisposition to advance, an attack was made, inobedienco to orders, "immediately."

Gen. Crawford mado a gallant and successfulcharge, and had our thin line had any supporttho advantage thus gained could have beenfollowed up, and history to-da- y would recordCedar Mountain as a gallant victory to theUnion arms. As it was, the fight was a gallantone; no braver troops cvor engaged an enemyon auy field, but odds wore too heavily againstthem; and tho desperate valor with which thoyfought is shown by tho fact that, though somuch outnumbered, when darkness came theenemy had but acquired tho ground whereour lino first formed; and tho two armieswero so mixed up that many on both sidesfound themselves in the enemy's lines, and werocaptured, Gen. Crawford himself only escapinga like fato by tho merest chance.

Now, if Gen. Banks did not nor could notreach tho field until high noon, possibly later,and the engagement did not commence uutil 4o'clock in the afternoon, how could tho cavalryor any other body of troops have saved himfrom being "routed long before noon"?

The cavalry won glory enough without anvof its number attempting to win more at thislato day. Its glory is too grand and gloriousto need any embellishment, and the 1st N.J. isentitled to a full and honest share. Henco Iinfer Comrade Hursh, in writing from memoryalone, has erred. I writo from data taken frommy diary written at the time, aud only statotlio facts. AV. Simison, Co. E, 9th N. Y. S. M.,New Orleans, La.

The Gunboat INsex.To the Editor : In your issue of Nov. 13

Henry J. Lyda, in his account of tho captureof tho Arkansas by tlio Essex, states that thogunboat Essex was tho only vessel of any kindthat over passed tho batteries of Vicksburg indaylight. Allow mo to correct him in thisstatement. AVhile our regiment was encampedfour miles bolow ATicksburg, on tho Louisianaside, about the 1st of February, 1SG3, wo werostartled by tho thundering of all the big guusat sunriso ono clear morning while wo werocooking and eating breakfast. Wo at onceturned our eyes towards the city, which wasin plain sight, and saw a big, black steamerrounding tho bend in front of tho city. Shoheaded for tho shore, Tunning into tho steamerCity of Aricksburg, lying at tholcvco; backedout and headed down stream past tho lowerbatteries, and successfully made a landing infront of our camp, whoro she lay all day forrepairs. It was the ram Queen of tho AVest.Shortly afterwards sho went below and wascaptured at Red River. J. R. Tisdale, 29thMo.,.ChiIlicothe, Mo.
