The Rebel Assanlt on Corinth—-01d Abe” on the Battle Field, [Written for the Bix | v, Just at sunet Gen, Nelton's division, the advance of Buell's srmy, which had been on a forced march for Pittaburg Landing, arrived on the opposite side of the river and was rapldly ferried over by steamboats and formed in llne of battle In front of our seml-clrcle of artlllery. ‘We were very glad of their arrival and o hear that Lew Wallace's divislon of five thoueand fresh troops had reached the battle ficld after a day’s time censumed-in marching five miles to reach a position which Wallace bad received crdera at 8 o'clock 8. m, to cccupy. As we laid in line that night, completely soaked with the heavy rain which fell (a rain alwaya soemed to follow a batile), we sould hesr the steady {ramp, tramp, of Buell's men as they mar.hed past us and were pushed out to the front, We had heard of the doath of Gen. Sidney John:ton, the rebel commsnder, and that he had been succeeded by Beauregard, who had sworn to “water his horse in the Tennesiee river at the Landing that night, or In hell,” and comforted each other with the remark that he had falled in the first part of his proporition, which was a matter of considerable importance to us, By sunrise of the 7th the battle was renewed, ; BUELL'S COMMAND and Low Wallace's divialon of Grant's army cccupying the front line and assault'ng the confederates, the regi- menta engaged on the 6th being held in reserve and followlog up as the rebols were criven back at every point. By four o'clock In the afternoon we hed regaiced all tho ground lost on the pre- vious day, the enemy was in full retreat for Corinth, Mlsslesippi, rome 25 miles distant, and we returned to our old camp. A visit to the battle-ficld the next day disclosed a horrible sight. In places dead men lay eo thick that a person could walk over two acres of ground and not etep off the bedles. Details of sol- dfers were scattered through the weods gathering the dead together, and in one instance I saw 230 bodies burted in one grave. Death had come in all im- aginable shapes, in one cate six of our men having been killed by & canon ball which passcd through the ceuter of a 80lid oak tree eighteen inches in diame- ter, bebind which they had taken shelter in a line, The man nearest the tree had his head cut off entirely, the second wasstruck a trifle lower, the third atill lower down, and 80 on a3 the ball lost its force after paseing through the tree. One of our company took from the dead body of a fine looking, gray haired confederate a beautlfully wiitten letter, dated at Memphisa few days previous and evi- dently from his daughter, in which she deplored in the most touching and tender manner his abssnce,bat thankedGod that a few days more would end his term of enlistment aud then he would return home to leave his family no more, Durlog the battle of Sunday the woods were fired and we regained our outer camps. Monday found at our polnt a pile of corn, containing several hundred bushels, with the husks on. Many wounded eoldiers crawled to this plile ot corn, seeking more comfartable positions, and when the fire swept through the woods and over this pile of corn they could not get away and were burned to death, At another place Monday afternoon I found a bright young boy (confederate) iylng badly wouncded on a cotin a tent. Facing him, on another cot alengside his own, sat A DEAD REBEL with wide-starlng eyes, and undernea‘h the cot occupled by the boy was the body of a Unlon soldier. By dropping hisleft hand the boy could touch this body, and by moving his r'ght hand a trifle he conld touch the other. He said: *I was badly wounded yeslerday, but mapaged to get into this abandoned tent and cllmbed up cn this cot. S>on after this man on the other cot crawled in, and just before dark this soldier lyiog under my cot. They wera both hurt worse than I was, but we talked toeach other as much as we could for encouragement. Then along inthe night this man on the cot talked very low and weak, and afcer a while sald he knew he was going to dle and bid us good-bye, I didn’t hear any- thivg after that from the man lylng under my cot, and It was awful etill from that till morning. When daylight came 1 found that they wera both dead, and I have laid here all day acplog some one would come and help me.” I eaw that he was carvied back to ahospital, but never hesrd whether he recovered or not. Aprll 20tb, 1862, we began our ad- vanca on Corintb, the department com- mander, Gen, Halleck taklog personal command of the ucion forcee. It wes generally understood that Gem. Gran' was under a cloud on account of the sur rise at Shiloh which came so near prov- ing a defeat to us, and it was a common thing to sec Grant riding about a'tended by a single orderly and receiving bat lit- tle attention from other general cofticers. Certaln 1t was that the men in the ranks always had confidence {n him and his pla'n, unaesuming manners made.him a great favorite with the volunteers, who bad no love for the regular srm; tyle' which was rendered especially distasteful to them by Halleck. How differently there two men were he!d in public esti- ma'ion at the close of the war., Halleck, the domloeering, pompous mariinet held on to an ornamental poeition '“by the skin of hils teeth,” achleving nothing; Girant, the modest, unassumiug soldler, snubbed and diszraced after Donelson and Shiloh by a msn who was not worthy of tielng his shoes galned victory after vlctorg on bloody battle fields and be- came the most famous msn of his time, As I write to-night he s lying at death's door with a maledy whose ravages cannot be stayed, bravely faclpg man's last enemy with the qulet conrage so characterlstic of bim during the dark days ot his country’s history. To-.day, north, south, east and wes: joln In hearty expreseions of love and sympathy for the great captain whose experiences {n later years have crystal- ized into warm affection the fecling of ad- miratlon and respect his ecldierly qual- itles evoked. As we come to learn bet- ter the 1eal history of the war we see more and more in the character of Gen. Grant to estcem and admireand his vame will live In the hearis of Americans for- ‘ion of modesty ghest type of patri- otism and great military skill. THE ADVANCE ON CORINTH elow indeed, as Halleck covered with forliticatlons, the army was v goining less than a mile a day at times. We occupied just thirty days In this movement, expeoting dally an engsge. ment with Beauregard’s srmy which we understood was conoentrated at Corinth aod pumbered 60,000, In those dsys Beauregard was a famous man, having been chief In command at Bull Run where our army turned and ran, when, had they held on half un hour longer, the confederates would have done the ran- ning and our forces could have figured in history as the brave pursuers Instead of the panic-stricken puraued. We were, to aconsiderabie degree, afraid of Beaure gard in the sfege of Corinth, his procla- matlon about waterlng his horse In the Tennessee having a flavor of the wild, rocklees French warrlor about it which led us to believe that he wounld aftempt any desperate achievement. But he proved to be a very mild warrior indeed and when Halleck threw up a heavy line of works Immediately In front of Corinth, Beauregard Improved his splendid rail- road facilitles to skip out, after a graat destruction of stores of great value to the uonfenlen\cy, and _on the woming of Fuday, May 30th, 1882 we marched into Cornith, it haviog been evacuated daring the night. The summer following we spent at Corlnth with the exception of a few weeks when wo were at Rienzl, Missis- eippl, under command of Gen. Gordan Granger, to whom we took a disllke be- eause we were pat throngh brigade drill for two hours dally, before breakfast. Early in September the regiment returns to Corinth, and brcomes a part cf the second division of the sixteenth corps, Gen. Dick Oglesby, now governor of Iliinols, being division commander. Here I was promoted to the rank of elghth corporal. I would have been made ninth I soppose, but thers was no such position a ‘‘high private” ranking next to cighth corporal. It wasn’t much of a promotion and it was constdered the ocorrect thing to sneer at corporals by a certain claes of eoldiers, but 1 was very glad to receive even this small advarca in military dis. tinction, as I knew that other promo- tions would follow if I lived. THE BATTLE OF CORINTH, was fought October 3 and 4, 1872, our position being assailed by Price snd Van D.ra with as brave sn army as ever shouldered musket. Oar diviston moved cut two miles on the morning cf the 5d, the presence of the rebel forco in the vicloity being known, and took position in a line of works thrown up by tho en emy when we were advancing on Corinth. The rebels formed their lines under shel- ter of the timber and in front of the second brigade of our division, which was on the left of and somewhat detached from cur brigade (the first) occupylng a Jine of wcrks at right angles to ours. In their front the timber had been cleared for a covsiderable dietance and the ap- proach was somewhat obstracted (by the fallen trees. Soon the enemy came in plain view, moviog across this epuce, six lines of battle deep, with flags flying, drums beating and fifes playing. Lt was a maguificant sight, of which our brigade had unobstracted view. Steadily the lines moved forward withont firing & shot until the advance Is within thiee hua- dred yards of the second b igade, when ft s met with a terrible vo'ley of muskeiry, The first line hesitates a mo- ment, the second comes up, then the third, and then with a yell the enfire command rashes forward on double quick, the second brigade is driven from 18 position, our flank is turned, and we are falling back to form a new line. We take position on tha east slde of an old field, about 200 ysrds across, lying flat on cur faces. All is quiet in our front. Dotalls are made to xush off and fill the cauteens of the vatlous com- panies. The sun beats down with terrl- bla fcrse, A battery dashes up and takes position on our left. Just in front of us is an old log hut, which s cvidently oc- cupied, and afterwards there s a legend in camp to the eflect that ia the cellar of that old cabin {s a poor woman who, alone, in the midst of the wild storm of battle which a little later rages and surges about that humble home, passes through that dreadful physical ordesl which became a part of womanhood’s curse when the first man and woman were driven from the garden of Eden. As we wait, the sllencc grows oppreesive. Little birds twitter in the trees about us and matk the only break in the terrible stillness, save the occaslcnal low whis- pers of the scldiers as they llo quict, with pale, determ!ned faces, grasping their weapons and oppressed with the conviclion that in all prcbability they will never again ece the sun rise. A GRAY COAT is eeen here and there, slipping cut from the shelter of the forest on the west side of the field, and a moment later & com- plete skirmish line follows, and etesls forward, hiding itself as best it can behlnd old logs, stumps, and other obetractions, On it comes quiet- ly but surely and steadily approaching, and then our skirmish line opens fire and the rebel ekirmishers, hav- ing disclosed our poeition, hslt and three minutes later a Jine of battle marches out of the woods, followed by a second, thst by a third and that by a fourth. The field is croesed at & rush and the alr Is filled wlith leaden ball. We lie still until the enemy is witbia fifty yards of us and then the command is given, the long line of blue coats eprings up and pours a terrible fire Into the confederate forces. The battery on our left does eplendid work, muskets arc loaded and fired so rapidly that the barrels become heated and the advance of the enemy fs checked., The ammunition cf our reziment is exhausted and we are ordered to lie down and al- low a reg'ment which has been held as our reserve to pass over us, It proves to be the Kighth Wisconsin, and as it rushes forward, ‘‘Old Abe,” the eagle which made the regiment famous, throws head forward, scrceches and flaps his broad wings with excitementas he ls borne forward in the midst of the wild turmoll and uproar, his talons clinched about the standard to which he is chalned. But the assaolt was tco heavy acd our lines were again ferced back with great loss, Lieutensnt Bing, commanding our company, was killed; Lieutenant Hall severely wounded, Scrgeant Speed killed and mapy others killed and wounded, the regimental commander, Colonel Baker, aud Lieutenant Colonel Mills be- ing locluded among the killed. We fell back slowly ihrough the woods, and night found our lines cloecly drawn about the town Corinth, two miles in 1ear of our position in the morning, This s the best season in which to purify the blood, and Hood's Ssrssparilla is the best blood purifier. 100 Doses One Dollar, o ——— A promivent hat manufacturer says the average Pennsylvanian's size ls the average New Yorker's 7, and the western and New Eogland heads range from 7} to 74, He thinks the tize of the head is lucreased by excitement, T —— Auvnalysls show that there Is not one drop of narcotic poleon lo Hed Star Cough Cure, A NEW PASTURAGE. The Process of Fattening Cattle in Vogue at the Distillery, Connected with the Willow Springs distillery is a large cstablishment for feeding and fattening cattle dur'ng the winter. The pens flank the distillery on the river froat, and extend over an area of two acres, The animals arc fed on the reeidue or waste substance of the distillery retorte, which, it has been found, forms a nntriHou‘ln«l wholeeome fattening food. Thero sre at present about 1,900 cattle In the pens, most of them belog the property of the Bay State Land and Oattle company. Most of them have been in the pens since September last, and will be ready for market about the middle of April, The substance upon which the fatten- ing process is conducted, 18 the solld por- tlon of the mash after the alcohol has been drawn off. The masl, be it said, is constituted of crushed corn, barley, wheat, etc., and is calculated from its natute to farnish a food residuo of higbly farinaclous natore. This sub:tance is placed in deep vats where the prcces «f fermentation is induced, equal parts of water having been added. From these vats the mixture is removed to the stills, where the procesa of dis!illatlon remoyes the alcohol, This being done ycu have the refuse of the mash, asweet, odorous, llquld mass, which 18 readily devoured by hogs and cattle The distlllery folks assert that the fod is most nutritious and ready sssimilable Cattle fattened in this manner not only become ready for market much sooner than would otherwlse be the case, but the meat brings a higher price in the market than that of the grass fed anlmal. It is an open question whethor dlstiliery awill affects the milk of milch cows, or not, but cerfa'n it is that it stiengthens the tlesh tiesucs as few focd etuifs do At the local distillery, however, there are no milch eattle in process of fatten- :‘ng. all the stock being for the becf mar- (39 Coi e ey PILES!

Interesting Facts About Cereal Crops and Théir sShipment, Gathered by a Beo Reporter, For more than five months now there has been a steady and repid influx of Nebratka's cereels into and through Omaha, the graln distributirg centre of the state. The harvest of 1884, a rich and plentiful one, is now ncarly mar- keted. A representative of the Dre called upon Himebaugh & Merriam, cf the Union elevator, and from a mem- ber of the firm gleancd s>me iatoresting facts relative to the influx of the “‘golden grain.” The bulk of the cereal products which pasa into and : throngh this cty, is of course, corn, as a grower of which Ne- ‘oraska stands fifth {n the list of sfates. The months daring which the shipments from the Interior nssume any consider- ab'e propertons are December, January, Februsry and March, And yet, it must be understood the corn and whest is comlng in though in small qnantities at some pericds, the year around. Nearly all of this passes directly through Omaba, As for the difference In the grain pro- ducing sections of the etate it may be sald that the southern tier of counties are the best, though a conslderable portion comes from the central and southern portions. Very little of the corn raised near Omaha (and there is o great desl of it among the products of Douglas and the adjoiniry countles), is shipped be- yond Omaha, Most of it is brought to town in wagons and disposed «f to local feed markets, distillertes, stablee, etc. The facilitles of the railrcade, both the B. & M. and U. P,, have been tax:d to their utmest to provide cais for the {ransportation of the graln. About three-quarters of the corn i shipped away, the raslduc belng used for the lccal market. Some considerable wheat I3 afso ehipped cast, though the bulk is used for home consumpiion, Neariy all of Nebraska’s grain is shipped direct to 1he seabcard, though a trifling amount is *‘cached”’ on the way. Most of it is sent to New York and Bal- timore, and from these markets it finds ita way to Liyerpool and the continental ports, A considerab'e amount of Ne- brasks graln also is shipped to St Loubs, a grain centre of no emall importance. Chicago receives very llttle, eay tho local eloyator men, on account of the rules of rlg!d lnspection which there prevall. Th tem of elevatora throughout the state, item of no small importance in the grain economy cf this commenwealth, is very good. The Upion Paclfic road, which bandles the bulk of the grain traflic has a convenient systen, though the ele- vators are not any too plentiful. Ihat road is erecting from twelve to twenty every year, Moet of thegrein, as soon as mariotable, is loaded diractly into these elevators, and as fast as cars can ba ob- tained, 1s shipped away. The large propcrtion of the erain fs sent over the Unlon Pacific system throtgh Omaba, thosgh the B, & M. handles' a large slice of the frade, waking all its Ihlglhellll throngh Plat's- Tt is estimated, judaing from the present outlook, that the corn crop;of 1885 will bs in cxcess of 175,000,000 hashele, while it is thought that the wheat crop will fall off and be consldorably lees than for last year, The prices roceived for corn by the farmers have been from 23 to 30 cents, while wheat has brought trom 45 to 50 cents ““What the papers ought to advise {he farmora to do next year,’ safd Mr. Merrfam, ““is to plant plenty of wheat 1 believe that Nebraska affords developable resources in that direction which ought not to be overlooked. Advlces say 1hat the farm- ers intend to give the preference to o rn durlng the next few harvests. Here, then, is a chance for an enterprising class of men to ‘‘make a stake.” The less competition there is, of couree, the more the profit. 1t is to the dovelopment cf the wheat production of the state that Nebraska farmers of the keen and fore- sighted siyle, ought to diract thelr atten- tion,” e Y.

TLEULANTS L — FHE CRAVING FOIY An Almost, it Not Absolately, Univer- sal Human Appetite, Naticnal Review, The deeive cr craving fcr stimulants in the 1most general sense of the word—for drogs or wedative ezents—is an almcst, it not absolutely, universal human appetite; 80 general, so early developed, that we might almost call 1t an insiinct, Alco- hoy, of course, Is the most poyular, under ordinary circumstances the most seduc- tive, and by far the most widely diffased of all stimulant substances. From the Eaptrates to tho Straits of Dover the vine has besn from the earliost ages sec- ond oaly to corn in_popular estimwation; wina, next to bread, the most prized and mo:t uoiversal article of hu man food. The convectlon between Ceres and Bacchus iz found in almost every langeaze as in the social life of every notion from the warlide Astyrian monorchy, the etable bisrocratic despot ism of Egypt, to the mcdern French re public and German Ewvire. Corn itsolf has furnished stimulants second ia popu larliy to wine alone; 1he spirit which de- lighted the fiercer, starner races of north mouth direct to Chicago, The yrain crov of last year was very fair, though it is believed that the harvest of 1885 will be & richer one. Esimat‘es differ on the point of the approximate value of last year's harvest, however. For i1stance, Hon. R. W, Furuas estimsti g the corn orop of 1884 at 164,000, while other csloulstions low as 157,000,000 cm Eurcps—Swede, Nerweglan and Dane, St. Olaf and Harold Hardrods, as their deecendant of to-day; and 1l ale of our own Saxon and Scandinsvian an cestry, which neither spirit, cider ror Spanish wine has superseded among our- selves. The vine, again, secms to hsve been native to America, but the civilized or semli-clvi ized races of the southera and central part of the wostern continent [, had cther more populsr and more pecu- liar stimulants, sleo for the most par’ al- coholie. The palm, again, has furniehed to Afcican and Aslatic tribes a spirit not less potent or less noxious, not less popular and probsbly = mot less primitive, than whisky or beer.
