B., 18th Con- necticut, Recalls Exciting Exper- ences. Henry C. Torrey, Danielson, member of Co. D, 18th Conn. Vol, writes en- tertainingly of the manner in which ecastern Connecticut troops helped win the battle of Gettysburg, the fiftieth anniversary of which is soon to be celebrated. Mr. Torrey writes that fifty vears ago on the first of June the 18th Conn, was stationed at Winchester, Va. coming from Baltimore and viein- ity ‘the last of May. It was then near- Iy & full Tegiment, as Jarge as many brigades at the front. Nine companies were camped in tents near the Shaw- nee springs. Mr. Torrey reviews the fighting in which the regiment par- ticipated in and. about that vicinity and of how it was attended by hard- ship and of the march of the troops to_the bank of the Potomac river. Mr. Torrey recalls how, late In the afternoon of one of the days of fight- ing, Color Sergeant George Torrey of Co. B came up with the command. He was so lame he could hardly walk. He had carried the beautiful state flag presented to the regiment by the ladies of Norwich through a storm of shot and shell until ordered by the commanding officers to destroy the embiem to prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy. Then Sergeant Torrey took the,flag from its staff and wrapped it around his body under his' blouse and made his escape, reaching safety with the precious col: ors_preserved. The next morning the regiment crossed the Potomac river at a place called Bloody Run into Maryland. There was more and severe fighting at this time and the 1Sth Connecticut figured in a charge against the attac! ing Confederates, Mr. Torrey says: “It seemed to me that it would have been better to have made a flank movement with the Second brigade as our column did instead of charg- ing, as all they could do was to keep the to escape. road open a littie longer for some They had accomplished the keeping this wing of Lee’s army back for three days. But, like good soldiers, they obeyed the com- mand. They charged three times, capturing a battery, but could not hold it. General Milroy and his staff es- caped during the last charge. 'Phe regiment met with an irreparable loss in officers and men killed, wounded and captured, as many of them re- mained prisoners until near the close of the war. They fought, and went into rebel prisons and siffered and some died that others might escape.” After reviewing the alignment of forces at Gettysburg and the fighting of that historic struggle, Mr. Torrey comments: “We can see by this how important to our cause was the three days’ delay of the rebel forces at Win- chester, and while we honor the brave men that fought at Gettysburg, should we not remember what was done by the brave men at Winchester. And while defeated at Winchester, did not they gain a greater victory by helping, through delaying the rebel forces, to win at Gettysburg?” D. A. R. RECEPTION.

Think Incumbents Should Hold Ove: The Putnam city court judgeship appointment was one of those that remained undscided when the legisla- ture adjourned. The following, reia- tive to the situation in Hartford, which is similar to the situation in this city, is from a Hartford paper and is re- garded as applying here: “Accordiag to prominent lawyers of the city, the legislature, having failed to make the appointments (city court judges); the present incumbents will hold over un- til the next legisiature, which, if sound law, means that the city court and the police court will remain as at present, in the hands of republican official “Some time ago Attorney General | John H. Light gave the governor an opinion in which he held that, in case the legislature failed to‘appoint the | judges, the judgeships would be va- cant and the governor would have the right to appoint. Former Corporation Counsel Francis H, Parker took excep- tion to this, declaring that the judge- ships would not be vacant untll the legislature had made the appointments, the present imoumbents holding over until such action was taken, In case of & resignation, only, has'the gov- ernor a right to appoint, according ‘o Mr. Parker. The question has never been judicially determined, and it is safe to say that now, with the general assembly adjourned and no action taken, there will be a thorough search- ing of legal tomes to see if something cannot be found on which to hinge a claim to declare the judgeships va- cant in order to give the governor a chance to name good democrats. In case the governor does o, it is proba- ble that a test case will be made and carried to the supreme court, so as to have the matter determined once and for all. P. H. S. ASSOCIATION.
