Men Who Left the Confederate Army and Enlisted Under the Ban- ner of the Unton, From the New York Times. It is a fact not generally known that a large number of ex-confederate soldiers and sailors who deserted, or who, while prison- ers of war, took the oath of alleglance to the United States, enlisted in the Union army, and, receiving disabilities while in the line of duty as federal soldiers, are now drawing pensions. During the confinement of confederate prisoners in federal forts and prison pens the Unfoh ‘pflicers used every means to induce confederate prisoners to take the oath of allegiance to the United States government, offering them in some instances good positions’ and large pay. In many cases the confederate prisoners ac- cepted the offers and deserted, some of the entering into civic pursuits, but thousands joined the Union afimy ‘and were credited on the quotas of the states which they se- lected to serve. It Js a,fact, which can be substantiated from the fecords of the War Department, that six regiments of “penitent rebels,” as they were sometimes called, were organized from the prisow camps at Point Lockout, Rock Island, Alton, Camp Douglas and Columbus. They were composed of con- federate prisoners who took the oath of al- legiance and enlisted in the United States service. ‘Two Illinois regiments were also recruited to a large extent from confederat: prisoners who were confined, in 1862, in Camp Doug- las at Chicago. “These enlistments tocs place before the general exchange of prison. ers in that year. These facts are sustained in a communication from the War Depart- ment to Capt. Hiram R. Enoch, formerly cf Rockport, Til, afterward a resident of Ba'- limore. He was a captain in the 7 seventh Illinois volunteers, and in 1862 provost marshal at Camp Douglas. — kept a private register of all the confeder- ate prisoners at that post and of the dis- position made of them. From the records of the adjutant gen2-al’s office at Washington it appears that, of these prisoners at Camp Douglas, there were enlisted in the United States army before November 1, 1862, 21 and subsequent to November 1, 4 186 , The adjutant general notes that in he majority of cases the federal organiza- tions in which these confederate prisoners enlisted are not shown by the records on file. — rivate a, of Capt. Enoch, name the Realienes as fol- iowes “Enlisted in the eae ape and “fifth Illinois These regiments, 220. confederate recrults were immediately sent to the front. Entire Companies Formed. Several regiments were also enlisted from among the confederate prisoners at San- dusky, Columbus, Camp Chase, Johnson's Island, Fort Delaware and other military prisons. As early as 1943 the confederate prisoners at Fort Delaware began taking the oath of allegiance to the United States, and in the summer of that year, after the surrender of Vicksburg and the destruction of the Merrimac and viege of Richmond, when affairs in the confederacy looked blue, over 200 of these men were doing garrison duty at the fort. Five hundred more after- ward took the oath of allegiance und were uniformed and held in readiness for any service the government might call upon them to perform. Some entered the ranks of the fourth regiment of Delaware in- fantry, while others became members of Capt. Ahl's battery of heavy artillery. That ccmpany was composed exclusively of con- federate prisoners who had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. It was mustered out of service on July 25, 1865, when the men were paid off and returned to their homes. Compary C of the fourth Delaware infantry was made up almost en- tirely of ex-confederate prisoners from Fort Delaware. Companies D, E, F and G of the third regiment of Maryland cavalry, com- mended by Col. C. Carroll Tevis, was com- posed of men enrolled at Fort Delaware from among confederate prisoners of war who had taken the oath of allegiance. ‘It was in service in Louisiana, Alabama, Flori- da and Mississippi in 1864-5, and was mus- tered out at Vicksburg, Miss., September 7, 1865. At Point Lookout, Md., over G0 con- federate prisoners took the oath of allegi- ance and enlisted in the army. It was stated in February, 1865, that out of a de- tachment of 500 confederate prisoners at Camp Chase, ordered to be placed upon the exchange list, 260 voted to remain in prison. A large number of confederate prisoners were discharged f7om prison upon taking the oath of allegiance, and entered into other employment. A great many entered the Union army as substitutes for the big bounties which were then offered, and their identity will never be known. Considerable comment was created a short time since from the fact that one of these, who had been an ex-confederate soldier and now liv- ing in Georgia, was receiving a federal pension. After the disastrous battle of Gettysburg there was everywhere in the south undeni- able evidence of the collapsing of the con- federacy. It took organized shape in the frequent deseriions from the confederate army. In those portions of the south which were occupied by Union troops, large num- bers of people returned to their loyalty ond swore allegiance to the old flag. In June, 1833, the Richmond Dispatch bitterly com- | plained of the extent of confederate army ; desertions, and great fears were entertaineg that the p-zactice would spread. For this reason it recommended the punishment of death as the only means of intimidating | the army. In the emergency Governor | Letcher of Virginia resorted to the alterna- tive of issuing a general order offering $30 for the arrest of every absconding soldier. Result of Desertions. ‘The deserters from the confederate armies became so numerous that Gen. Grant, in December, 1863, issued an order providing for their disposition. The defecticn in the confederate army continued to increase, and deserters poured into the Union lines and swelled the ranks of its armies. Further to deplete the armies of the confederacy and to increase the number of the Union forces great efforts were made in the spring of 1864 to induce Congress to pass an act “for the voluntary enlistment of any persons, residents of certain states, into the regi- ments of other states,” or, in plain terms, to pass + bill authorizing recruiting in the seceded states. It was claimed that the passage of this bill would add at least 100,- 00 soldiers to the Union army, and it would enable many of the northern states to fill their quotas and thus avoid a draft. It was proposed to offer every inducement for men in the southern states to enlist in the Union army. The bill passed the House of Representa- tives in February, 1864, but it was delaycd in the Senate. In April committees from the Union leagues of New York, Phila- delphia and Boston hastened to Washing- ton and urged the passage of the bill. The subject was debated until July 4, 1864, when Congress passed the act authorizing the en- listment of men in the confederate states as ! they might elect. This law was published July 6, 1864, and on the 9th regulations to carry it into effect were issued. Every fa- cility which the War Department could con- trol was afforded to make the law effective for raising troops. The governors of the loyal states seni 1,045 recruiting agents to recruit the seceded states, but they only en- listed 5,052 recruits, who were credited to the states by whose agents they were ob- tained. No material advantage to the ser- vice resulted from this undertaking. All, or nearly all, of the recruits io be had in the southern states were being obtained through the proper military officers and agents of the War Department. Without increasing the number of men enlisted, the law en- abled states in the north to lay claim for credits for the men enlisted in the south, and thus reduce their quota for draft. To obtain these credits local bounties were lavishly provided. They were unnecessary and did not have the effect of increasing the number of recruits obtained, but in many instances enriched bounty brokers and cor- rupted military officers, Delaware's Large Quota. The whole number of men furnished to the Union army, rccording to the adjutant general's report of November 9, 1880, from the firing on Fort Sumter to the close of the war was 2,815,028, of which the north- ern states furnished 2,432,801 men. The census of 1860 showed that the number of white males of the military age (between eighteen and forty-five) in the northern states was 4,327,000, so that the troops fur- nished by them ‘to the Union army were @6 per cent of their available men. Turning to the slave states, the first discovery is the amazing one that Delaware furnished a larger number of troops to the Union army in proportion to her available military popu- lation than any other state in any part of the country. This is so contrary to accept- ed ideas that the average northern repub- lican would pronounce the statement ab- surd on its face. But the figures leave no room for doubt. Delaware had in 1S) only 18,273 white males between the ages cf eighteen and forty-five. She vent 13, men into the Union army, which equaled 74.8 per cent. New Hampshire contributed only about 54 per ce: Vermont and Massachu- setts 5%, Maine 50, Rhode Island 66, Niinois and Ohio 69, Kansas 72, and Indiana 74. The other border states did nearly as well. Maryland had 102,715 white males of army age, and 50,316 of them did service for the Union, being almost exactly 49 per cent. Kentucky had 180,589 men to catl upon, and 70,025, or nearly 44 per cent, re- sponded. Missouri had and 100,111 of them went into the Unicr army, being almost 47 per cent. West Vi ginia did not fali bel white males, of whom 32, soldiers, or more than 48 per cent, Even ‘Tennessee, one of the states which actually seceded, furnished no less than 31,09 to the Union army. men Altogeth: the thirteen slave states con- tributed 432,227 men in defense of the Unton, Kentucky ‘also furnished colored troops, which do not enter into thi® cal- culation. Marylaad and Missocri also sup plied the army with a large contingent for | the same ezm of the service. tl thus ap- pears that one-seventh of the Union army came from the south.

HISTORY OF TRE OLDEST ROAD It Runs Through a Picturesque and Varied Territory. OF SPECIAL INTEREST HERE lines The railways of Mexico are made the subject of a valuable article in a recent publication at the Department of Agricul ture. It is complied from various official sources and from the British and Amer- ican consular reports. According to this the railways of the United States, from all points east and west, connect with the rail- ways of Mexico, upon the boundaries of the two cc untries, at El Paso, 2,456 miles from New York, 1,286 miles from San Francisco and 1,642 miles from Chicago; at Eagle Pass, 2,083 miles from New York, 1,819 miles from San Francisco and 1,386 miles from Chicago, and at Laredo, 2,187 miles from New York and 1,316 miles from Chi- cago. Hence, to the City of Mexico there are three rail routes—that from El Paso via Mexican Central, Laredo via Mexican National, 839 miles, and that from Eagle Pass, —— miles, | 7} making the distance from New York via Mexican Central 3,640 miles, from San Francisco 2,510 miles, and from New York via Mexican International (Eagle Pass) 3,210 miles, and that from New York via Mexican National (Laredo) 3,015 miles. The number of miles of railway con- structed in Mexico is as follows: Federal concessions, 6,511 miles; city railways, 36s | miles; suburban, 185 miles; private, 90 miles; plantations (system Decauville), 143 miles; total, 7,207 miles. The First Railway. Early in the history of the republic the ne- cessity for railway construction was seen by the government, and as early as 1837, | seven years afler the opening of the first English railway from Manchester to Liver- pool, an exclusive concession was raade by the government to Francisco Arillaga of Vera Cruz, to construct a railway from Mexico to Vera Cruz, with a division to Puebla, but the concessicnaire was unable to build any portion of it and the grant was canceled. Between May, 1812, and Sep- tember, 1851, about 7 miles (11 3-2 kilo- meters)—from Vera Cruz to San Juan—were constructed at a cost of $164,020 per Kilo- meter (0.62 mile). The coatract was sub- sequently abrogated by law November 30, 180, for non-fulfillment of stipulations. In August, 1855, the firm of Mosso Her- manos obtained a concession te construct a railway from San Juan, and on January 1, 1857, the division from Mexico to Guada- lupe Hidalgo was opened. Subsequently Mosso Hermanos sold their franchise and the finished portion of the line to Mr. An- tonio Escandon, and the government, on August 31, 1857, granted a concession to him for the completion of the road, and from this time it may be said the history of the road commences. A few. months after the granting of this concession a revolution broke out, and no progress was made with the work for the following three years. On the installation of the constitu- uonai government in the City of Mexico, by decree of April 5, 1861, this concessiun was modified and amplified, but the occupation of Vera Cruz in December, 1861, by the al- Ned forces of France, Spain and England, which was followed by the war of interven- Uon, interfered with its construction, During the Maximilian Empire. On December 23, 1862, Mr. Escandon en- tered into an agreement with the French authorities to build, as contractor, the sec- tion of seventy kilometers (43.5 miles) be- tween Tejeria and Paso del Macho, and re- ceived about $1,924,667 from the same,which sum was afterwards repald to the French by the custom-house duties of Vera Cruz. in September, 1864, Mr. Escandon ceded his concession to the Mexican Railroad Company, and transferred the contract he nad previously made with Messrs, Smith, Knight & Co., of London, who had agreed to build the branch line to the city of Puebla for the sum of $26,195,000. This cession was approved by the Maximilian government,which had then been establish- ed. After the fall of the empire it was evi- dent that the national government could not recognize the validity of the Escandon agreement made with the Maximilian gov- ernment, and his rights were declared for- feited, because of his having made a con- tract with the French invaders; but the government, realizing e¢ importance of completing ‘the road, vacated the penalty of forfeiture November 27, 1867. Afterwards, in 1868, the constitutional government approved the transfer of the grant of Mr. Escandon to the Mexican Railway Company with further concessions. Construction was commenced and at length, on September 16, 1869, the branch line from Apizaco to Puebla was opened, and after many delays. and meeting with almost in- superable enginecring difficulties in cross- ing the lofty Cumbres de Maltrata of the Sierras, the road was completed and in- augurated on January 1, IST, placing the valley of Mexico for the first time in direct + ~ a ope with Europe and the United les, Line of the Oldest Road. This railway connecting Vera Cruz with the City of Mexico is the oldest railway in Mexico. The line rises 8,230 feet above the sea level to Soltepec, when it begins to de- seend into the valley of Mexico, until it reaches the City of Mexico, whose altitude 347 feet. The line in parts is thoroughly constructed; the stations commodious and well built; the tunnels arched with masonry; except one which required none, having been cut through the solid rock; the b are iron, with stone pters, to withstand the tropical storms and heavy floods that prevail during the suramer ths. After crossing the plain of Vere Cruz and the Soledad ver the ascent commences with a heavy je, and on leaving Paso del Macho the line ts shut in hy a dense tropical jungle. The first station of im- portance is Cordova, altitude 2,713 feet, and the limit of yellow fever. ing Cordova the splendid (ravine) of Metlac is reache, crossed by a bridge 350 feet long, and after running through some tunnels’ the train arrives at Orizaba, population 19, alti- & tude 4,028 feet, and situated in a very fer- tile valley, where tobacco and sugar cane are largely grown; after Esperanza, the plateau or mesa is reached and the mog- nificent scenery ceases. ‘This plain grows wheat, maize, barley 1 cattle are raised in considerable After this it runs into the resion of the maguey and Ropal (cochineai’.

In the statistics with regard to this line it be noted that while in 1887, owing to non- competition, its working expenses did given to the governor of the state of Oax- aca on August 25, 1880, by the federal ex- ecutive, with full powers to organize a company to carry out the provisions of the charter, and the governor then transferred the concession to Senor Matias <tomero in September of the same year. This conces- sion was subsequently transferred to Gen. Grant, ex-President of the United States, who sent down engineers me examine the line, and their report was y favorable. The concession being deficient in the ad- vantage subsequentiy given to railways in Mexico, combined with Gen. Grant failing heaith, the enterprise failed. Noth- ing much was done gintil INSX, when the old concessiors were reconstructed and granted to Mr. H. Rudston Read. This road, when finished, will interest che commercial and traveling public of the United States as well as of Murope, as the time taken to reach the Pacific ports of | South America will be greatly reduced. The usual time required to get to Panama is from twenty-five to thirty days from England, whereas,when the Mexican South- jer road is completed, the total number of @ays necessary to Tehuantepec via New York and the Mexican National railroad and the Mexican Southern railroad will be fifteen to sixteen days; that is, allowing days to cross the Atlantic from Liver- The importance of the Mexican Southern to the republic of Mexico cannot be ov: estimated, as it passes through an entirely new and comparatively unknown country. It also carries the great system of North American and Mexican railroads 300 miles farther south. The line ts of narrow gauge, and connects with the Interoceanic railway at Puebla. | From that city it runs in a southwesterly pega ye te Oaxaca, the capital of the state of that name. The principal towns of im- portance touched by this road are Amozoc, Tehuacan, Tepeaca, Tecamachalco, San Antonio, ‘Quictepec,” Cuicatlan, El Parian, San Pablo, Huitzo and Etla. The line was completed to Oaxaca and opened to traffic on the 4th of November, 1802, and tts ulti- mate object is to connect with t on the railway now being conutrur across | the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. It has a subvention of $2,400 a kilometer (five- eighths of a mile) for a space of fifteen gears, but this subvention was subse- quetly converte! into 6 per cent silver bonds. The road is being built in a substan- tial and economical manner. A large part of the line has steel sleepers, and the raile weigh fifty pounds per near yard, or ten pounds more than those of the Interoceanic and National railways, which are of the same gauge. This railway is owned and managed by a British a The gauge of the road is three feet and the distance a Puebla to the city of Oaxaca is 228 miles. on THE SYSTEM EXPLAINED. Boycott on Boycott Will Act Until Starvation Steps In. From the Chicago Post. The president of the union had the affair all planned out and could see no possibility of failure. “It is very simple,” Te said. “You see, our first move will be to declare a strike against the company.” “But the company says it can stand it,” protested the doubter. “Of course, of course,” dent; “but that is only f+ 3 will next declare a boycott on the com- goods.”" ‘What if that doesn’t fetch the company to terms?” “Why, then we will order a strike in every concern that uses the company’s “What else?” “We will Hopped the Fp of every man who uses the company’s goods.” “Anything more?” “Certainly. We'll boycott every man who buys goods of the men who use the com- pany’s goods.” “And if that doesn’t settle it?” “Then we'll close up every who trades with the men who buys ieoods of the men who use the company's “Is that your last card?” “Certainly not. We'll smash the day- lights out of every citizen who deals with the men who trade with the men who buy goods of the men who use the company’s goods. And if that won't do it, we won't let union shops sell anything to the wives of the citizens who deal with the men who trade with the men who buy goods of the men who use the company's goods. Oh, we're bound to win this strike!” If there's no break in your lem and you don’t starve and you all together and the public doesn’t kick,” added the doubicr. How a Laudanum Fiend Secured the Drag. From the St. Louls Republic. | “Wil you fill that bottle one-third full of sweet oil, the other two-thirds with lauda- num?” This was the request that the Gleaner heard as he was standing at the counter of a well-known drug store on the corner of Olive street, not far from the exposition building. Turning around to get a glimpse of the author of this request he saw a young eg of about twenty-two, well built, with florid complexion, steepy-looking gray pies & smooth face, with a pleasing but dissipated cast of countenance. “What did he want with of! and laudanum mixed?” asked the Gleaner, out of pure curiosity, after the young fellow had left the store. “To drink, I suppose,” answered the clerk. “ie comes often enough for the sickening stuff. we “How does he manage the oil in such quantities?” “Of course, he pours the ofl off and drinks the laudanum, but I can’t sell him laudanum alone, and he got some doctor to give him a prescription for the two mixed, and they don’t mix separate, so that he can pour the one from the other. He used to come for tt once a week, then twice and now ne comes every day, and I expect that all his salary goes that way, for the laudanum drunkard spends more money, often, than the whisky leper.” 10. ———- A Mistaken Apparition, From the St. Louts Globe-Democrat. ‘Some people are glways having prescati- ments,” sald Elmer T.
