‘l,, ‘GRAND ARMY DEPARTMENT "Progross of Preparations for the National Encampment. 'DEATH OF THE HERO OF TWO WARS Anniversary of the Attack on Sumter— federnte Strength In the War—The Co Ing Yown Encamp don and the Ne Preparations for the national encamp ment in Washington are progressing favorably: The books of the committes on arrangements show that more posts have been booked and quartered than at any previous encampment so far ahead of the date of meeting. The number disposed of s0 early presages, in the ovinjon of the committee, an attendance of 800,000 people. One of the features of the parade will be the unusually large number of mounted officers, In this re- spect the encampment will eclipse any- thing ever scen in the history of the Grand Army. ho staff of the com- mandor-in-chief aggrogates fuily 300 men and all of thom well mounted. The same can be snid of the various deputy commanders, Another feature of the parade will be the addition, for the first time, of the national association of naval voterans. This body contains a mem- bership of several thousand and their yoarly meoting will bo held in Baltimore the same week of the encampment. The day of the parade they proposo to D to Washington in a body and partici- pate. A stalement has been sent throughout the country from Chatta- noogn to the effoct thut owing to the conflict of the date of the encampment, and the celobration attending the open- ing of Chickamaugua park, the encamp- ment has been postponed to the week of September 27. - Similar statements rela- tive to other gatherings have also boen ci culated, but there isnotruth in them. The twenty-sixth national encompment will be held in this city during the week of September 20. The bill appropriating $100,000 to aid in dofraying the expenses of the en- campment passed the senate. The measure is opposed by members of the Grand Army fn_many sections, on the ground that Washington expressly promised to provide the necessary ex- penses, and it was unon that condition the national capital secured the prize. The annual session of tho Illinois de- partment, just closed, passed a resolu- tion requesting senators and representa- tives of that state to oppose the appro- printion. Tho Nelson (Neb.) post, at a meeting on tho 14th inst., heartily en- dorsed the action of the Lincoln Board of Trado and citizens generally in op- posing the appropriation of $100,000 tu aid the city of Washington to curry out #he pledges made by the citizens of that city to the Grand Army of the Republic boys at Detroit when "they secured the national encampment. A Hero of Two Wars. Brigadier-General Thomas W.Swecny, United States army, retired, died at his home in Long Island City April 9. General Sweeney was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1822, 1In 1832 he came to America and was appronticed as a printer. While serving his time he en- listed in the *‘Baxter Blues,” a military organization of the day. At the break- ~ P ing out of the Mexican war he went to the front us second lioutenant in Ward B. Bur- nott’s first volunteers, and served under General Wiafleld Scott from the siege of Vera Cruz to the storming of Cheru- busco. In the latter engagement he re- coived a wound which necessitated the amputauon of his right arm. Upon his return to New York he was made cap- tain by brevet by the governor, and a silver medal was presented to him by the city of New Yoak. He next saw serv in California as gecond lieutonant in the Second United States infantry. He commanded a part of that organization as commander of Fort Yuma. The breaking out of the L war found him ready for servico, and Le was placed in charge of the arse- nal at St. Louis. On May 20, 1861, he was made brigadier-general. He was sovorely wounded at the battlo of Wil- 80D’s CI His next servico was as adjutant-general under General John C. Fremont. He was then placed in com- mand of the Fifty-second Illinois volun- teors, and commissioned brigadier-gen- oral of volunteers on November 28, 1862, Alter secing some arduous service he was placed in command of Nashville, where he remained until mustered out of the volunteer service in 1 hen the Feniun invasion of Canada occurred in 1865, General Sweeney was ono of those who took part Later, however, he was reinstated by the president to his rank in tho army and assigned to the southern division.” On May 11, 1870, he was retired from service, with the rank of brigadier general L] H A Memorable Anniversary. Philadelphin Pross: Thirty-one years ngo, April 12, at ) in the morning,tho first gun of our great civil war was fired against the starving garrison of Fort Sumter, and the echoes of that gun haye been heard, and ave yot heard, in avery land and clime. The shell from one of [ o ew 1@ GUNS OF the mortar batteries near 'ott Johnson, as it rose in the dim twi- light and hurried on its mission of de- struction, sounded the death-knell of slavery, although fired in its defense. At 2p. m, of the 11th of April, 1861, Generel! Boauregard, commanding the confederave forces at Charleston, de- manded the surrender of Major Ander- son and his gallant and half-fed little garrison, offering to remove the troops with arms and private property and permit them to salute their flag as they bauled it down from Sumter, but every ofticer iu the fort seconded An- dorson in his positive refusal. At 11 p. m. of the sume day, Beauregard pro- posed thiat Anderson should fix the time when /he would ovacuate Sumter, to which he replied that if not otherwise ipstructed or roinforced or supplied by the government, he would evacuate Sumter at noon on the 15th, The re- sponse to this reply of Anderson’s camo at 8:20 on the morning of April 12, 1861, informing him that Boeauregard’s bhat- teries would opun on the fort in one hour, In one hour and ten minutes thereafter, the fateful gun was fired that summoued nearly 40,000,000 of people to fraternal conflict. Thirty-one years have passed away /Inw thie firet gun of the olvil war wa fired against Sumter, and nearly all of the actors'in that prelude to the blood- lest war of modern times now sleep with the dreamless dead. Beauregard yot sucvives, but only two of the gailnnt officers who joined in the hopeless de- fenso of the fort are now nmong the liv- ing, Gemeral 8. W. Crawford, whose { heroism was displayed on many battle- flelds, and General Doubleday, who ren- dered gounspicuous service la the war, - are tho only names we can recall as the | survivors of the fearful but bloodiess bombardmant of Fort Sumter on the 12th of April, 1861, Hundreds of thousands fell before the grim reapers in the harvest of death during the war that followed, and the chieftains of both the blue and the gray have gone 10 the unknown beyond; but the ochoes of the first gun fired against | Sumter are yet heard in every land whe the bondman then bowed under the yoke of the master. Slavery has been abolished in ory ilization of the world, and a generation of unex- ampled progress in industry, in com- merce, in trade, in science and in every- thing that ennobles man, has testified to the deathless echoes of the first gun fired against Sumter., o Gel Washington Post: The remarks of General John B. Gordon on occasion of the reception of the confederate veterans at New Orleans were replote with patriotism und loyalty, and no one who knows the distinguished Georgia senator can for a moment doubt the sin- cerity of his sentiments. Coming from one of the most conspicuous solaiers of the lost cause, who did his best and bravest upon the battle field to make that cause an accomplished fact, thoy cannot fail to remove whatever linger- ing doubts there yot may bo as to the cordiality and good faith with which the south has accepted the arbitrament of arms and the supremacy of the union. “The old order has passed,” said General Gordon and a new era has come;” and amplifying vhe thought, he continued: “Blended now in one common citizen- ship and in one American brotherhood are the brave veterans of those vast armies which once met and grappled each other in deadly combat, now for- ever united in the ennobling pursuits of peace, and with their faces turned to the promising and pregnant future, they are resolved by their joint efforts to achieve a destiny higher and grandor, if possible, than was ever anticipated, or even hoped for by the founders of the rapublic.” And the tumultuous cheering which greeted these uttorances showed that they found response in the hoarts of the muititude, who with him had shared the fortunes and fate of the confederacy. Real Strength ot t onfederate Al V. Colonel A. B. Casselman contributes to the March number of the Century magazine a valuable articlo upon the strongth of tho confederate army during tho rebellion, showing quite conclu- sively that the south had in the field at least 1,500,000 men instead of 600,000 or 700,000 as usually stated by southorn writ- ors. As compared with this total he sets tho union army down at 2,200,000 men, counting each soldier but once and making due allowances for ro-anlist ment, Colonel Casselman makes the import- ant point that southern statements of the confedevate strength are entirely unreliable for the sufficient reason that their muster rolls never have been enumerated. In but a singlo state, North Carolita, has any effort been made to compile and publish the names on its muster rolls, with the result of showing a considerably larger number of enlisted men than had been estimated foa thut state in officiul reports and by confederato historians. If this were the case in North Caro- lina, there is every reason to infer that the same understatement has been maae in the other states. In the case of the three border states—Mis- souri, Kentucky and Maryland—Colonel Cusselman says the people were divided about evenly and gave about an equal number to each army. This, however, is hardly correct, says the Chicago Tribune. These states furnished fully twice as many fighting men for the con- federate as for tho union service, omit- ting the local home guards who were at home and on their farms during the war to protect their proverty from rebel and guerrilla raids. The federal govern- ment was obliged to maintain in those three states whole armies of northern soldiers 1o keep their rebels down and prevent them from formally joining Jeff Davis’ confederacy. The overwhelming confederate political mujorities given in those states since the war shows on which side they were during that strug- gle. Not counting the negro votes cast solidly for the republicans, two-thirds of the white vote is confederate to this day a8 it was during the rebellion. In the samo manuer Delaware was rebol by a two-thirds majority of its white popula- tion, and 1t sent several thousand sol- diers to the confederate army to help Juff Davis and his democrats dismember the union. Like some other states, it had to be pinned down with federal bay- onets and garrisoned with northern soldiers tokeep it in the union. Admitting _that the northern forces outnumbered the southern by 700,000 men (2,200,000 against 1,500,000, the ex- cess was employed in_garrisoning hun- dreds ofcaptured rebel localities and in guarding thousands of miles of southern rivers an d railronds necessary for tho transportation of men, munitions and foed. The rebel commanders did not have to waste and weaken their field forces in this way. The rebels claim that Lee only had 60,000 men in the Wilderness campaign, and yot General Grant had the proofs of over 80,000 men in front of him. The rebels fought hard and desperate) ‘I'here is no question about that, They came from a fighting stock, but they fought no better and no more bravely than the northern troops of the same fighting stock. Though 1,600,000 of rebel soldiers were at home nnd generally fought behind defenses, they were driven back steadily until they were all killed, wounded, taken prisoners, or dispersed, and this 100 though they occupied an area of 1,000,000 sauare miles of difficult coun- try for the north to invade and march over. These are the cold facts of his- tory. Undoubtedly the real object of southern writers and military men in underrating their forces engaged in the war of the rebellion has been to furnish a plausible reason for their overwhelm- ing defout and to magnify their bravery ting quality as compared with the soldiers of the north. It should not be diflicult, however, to detormine the real facts in the case. The rebel muster rolls are in the archives of the War de- partment. The government hus all the data and a mere counting of the names viould give the nctual strength of the rebel army. The lowa Encampment. The apnual encampment of the de- partment of lowa will be held at Ottum- wa, May 9, 10 and 11. Preparations for the event are well advanced. The two great camp fire events will be the reun- ion of the Army of the Potomuc veter- ans and the reunion of prisoners of war, It will be the first time the former have ever gotten together in Iowa, and the probability is that some livety rominis- cences will be indulged in. Among the camp fire speakers who have alreaay promised to be on hand are Colonel J. J. Steadman of Council Bluffs, who is talked of as the next department commander; ex-Congressinan John I, Lacey of Oskaloosa, me H. Cole of THE Hull, Phil Schailer of Sac City, Captain J. 8. Lothrop of Sioux City, Captain J. E. Wilkias of Des Moines, J. J. Stuckey of Des Moines, C. W. Neal of Stuart, D. B. Daily of Council Bluffs, Judge Josiah Given of Des Moines, Colonel Al. Swaim of Oskaloosa, George B. Hague of Des Moines, W. T. Babb of Mount Pleasant, Fred O’Connell of Dubuque, Past Com- mander Consigney of Avoea, J. T, Muf- fley of Des Moines, and a host of others. Secretary of the Interior Noble, Gen- oral Russell A. Alger of Michigan, and half a score of department commanders have promised to attend. Notos. The Sixth Massachusetts, known as the heroes of Baltimore, celebrated the thirty-first anniversary of their march to Bultimore on tho 19th inst. at Stone- ham, M The confederate reunion in New Or- leans closed on the 9th with a parade of 25,000 men. A resolution to hold the next confederate reunion in Chicago during the World’s fair and that the veterans attend the fair in a body, was voted down on the ground that the delo- gates did not care 10 go anywhere that they could not march under the confed- erate bannec. Birmingham, Ala., was decided upon finally. « The Minute Men of 61, an association formed three years ago by the Boston patriots who so promptly rallied to the defence of tha national capital at the call of President Lincoln, April 15, 1861, and hurried to the front, giving the gov- ornmont time to catch its breath, celo- brated the 815t anniversary of that mem- cublo evert by o reception, a parade and banquet in Boston on the 18th inst. In 1861, the minuto men, many of them, merchants, mechanics, business men and students went direct from their places of business to Faneuil hall, thence to Washington, not in gay uniforms. but in izen’s attire, some armed with double rolled shotguns, sporting rifles and various weapons of defencs, to protect the flag and the national capital. Many of these men did not have time to see their wives or children before hastening away; some were school boys, and left school books and dinner pail in their haste to get to the front.

This shows that Omaha is willing to help the - dustries of other cities of the state as well as her own. A peculiar case has apisen between two flour mills in the state. A mill which has spent thousands of dollars in building up the reputation of its flour under a certain brand which has a large sale in Omaba, has dis- covered that another mill near Omaha is put- ting cheaper flour on the market in sacks bearing ldontically the same brand. Unless tho party ewlty of the offenso vol- untarily ~ngroes to cease uslug the trado ‘mark of the other mill there will probably be & very interesting fAght in the courts which may bring out the rights of a firm to the use of its own trade mark. The Omaha flour market has at last as- sumed its normal condition, Minneapolis baving given up the fight. As the smoke of the battle clears away 1t becomes very ap- parent uhat the Nobraska mills are not only still running, but that they are selliag more flour 1 Omana than ever before. A promin ent retail dealer says that Minneapolis, which has in the past drained hundreds of thousands of doliars out of Omaha, has lost ber grip on this city. A. J.

It is probablo that a mill will bo built to be run by artesian water power. Ben W. Taylor of Beatrice writes: 'Lhe assertion made by a secretary of tho Ne- braska Canniug company in & recont issuo of Tuez Bk that the trouble with hand mado cans is the shortago of canmakers in the packing season, when they aro most needed, and the necessity of their being idie all win- also in nov having patent caps, ote., sounds rather peculiar coming from one oc- cupying tho position he does. Unless the deatn rate among the caumakers has beon most frighttully great within the past threo years, wo think enough could be found to supply Nebraska.

We do not think any can factory would hesitate to sup- ply packors with wkatever fraction of the whole they (thu packers) might see fit to order. Thero 13 no apparent roason why packers and oan manufacturers should not arrive at some satisfuctory understanding and stop this everlasting drain on the state. T'here is no class who spend more in propor- tion to the amount earned than the wage- workers. Not uutii the packers have done all in their power to oncourage home manu- facturers aud provide means by which a groater numver may obtain employment. in the state will they ever realize the most sat- isfactory results, ‘The manufactarers of Omaha are already waking preparations for the manufacturers’ cexposition to be betd in June. The fact that théy are commencing at 80 eariy a date would seem to fpsurcan unusually fine exhibit. They feel that the manufacturers of the state must do themselves credit on this oc- casion or it will create an impression among consuluers that the manufacturing interests of Nebrasika are of little importance. Paper weights in the form of diminutive prossed bricks, would make very.suitabla souvenirs for some enterprising brick firm to give away at the manufacturers’ expo- sition. Secretary A. D. Bradley of the manufact- urers’ asscciation spent the week among the manufacturers of the staté, F. 5. King of the firm of King & Smoaa, will start out on the road this week, T'he firm will also start another traveling man out at the same time. Whilo this is a now firm for Omaha, they have already fifty girls at work. A broom factory with a capacity for 40,000 dozen, has been locaied at St. Paul, Neb, Ramser & Co., Omaha’é hat manufactur- ers, are considering the project of giving up the retail branch of their business and devot- ing themselves exclusively to manufacturing for the trade. With the home patronage sen- timent so well developed among the people of Nobraska they could bave uo trouble in dis- posing of their output. Mr. Umstoad, the president of a large cor- set manufacturing company of Springfiela, Mass., was in tha city a fow days ago, and remarked that the people of Nebraska were right in assuming that the mavufacturing in- dustries are the only sure basis on which to build up a solid prosperity. He investigated the workings of home patronaged and pro- nounced it thoroughly practical, and added that if the people of Nebraska were to all hang together and pull in the same direction their state would advance at a rate that would make it the marvel of the whole coun- try. Allan Forman, in an attack on the tene- ment house cigars, published in the Denver Nows, says: “I have seen tho colored broth- ers in New Orieans ana Kew West doftiy rolling the wrapper until they come down to the pointed tip, ana then placing the cigar between their thick lips, against their moist tongue, and giving it a dextere poiated tip is tinished and seourely I've seen thousands of cigars made in that way, and [ never place one in my mouth that I.donot fee) as if I was kissing a large, fot, Koy West Nogro at second-hand. The committee on space of the Manufac- turers’ association met the past week and assigued space to the exhibitors at the June oxposition. It was found thut eighty-sovon different manu facturers had applied for room to make an exhibit, When it is taken into consideration that a large number of theso will notonly make a display of gooas but will carry on the actual work of manufactur- ing, it will bo seen that it will make the finest industrial display ever held in the west, Quite & good many manufacturers, however, have not applied for space aud are missing tho best opportunity that they will ever havo to bring thewr goods to the sttention of tho public. Another reason why every manufac- turer should exhibit is that the whote object of the exposition is o prove to the peoplo tbat the Nebraska manufacturing industries are capable of supplying the demand for goods in their different lines und that there is no necessity for sending out of the state for goods that can be made &L home, Tho people of Nebraska havo sent milliors uf dollars out of the state because they aid uet believe that they could obtain what they wanted at home, ~ It remains with the manu- facturers to teach the veoplo thut pretty nearly everything is ade in Nebraska.

Could all the things bo printed that aro rejectod by editors and that find their way to tho waste basket, that modern Gorgon of the newspaper office, what a motley array of wasted talonts they would be. The reading public can form- noidea of how uneasy the head is of him who passes upon the merits of contributions which fall upon the literary editor's table. As a fair sample of what usually finds rest dowu deep in the waste basket, the following rhymes by “A young laay” are printed without so much as the suggestion of a blue pencil mark upon them: WORK FOR ALL.

He related an inc dent of the late Mr. Corcoran’s belief in the generally recognized supertitution of thirteen at table. During the time Mr. Corcoran was making a struggle to refain even a representation in the Board of Directors of Oak Hill ceme- tery, his munificont benefaction, a mecting had extended until protty late in the evening, and he in- vited the gentlomen to supper, and on being seated, it was discovorad that there wore thirteen at table., Mr, Co coran immediatc arose and ordered the servant Lo serve him at an adjacent table, and thus relieved the spell. One of the guests oxpressed his astonishment hat a gentleman of Mr. Corcoran’s sense tnd information should be governed by ach a suporstition. Mr, Corcoran re- ued that he had no defense to malke for i belief, but he hud witnessed a most 15 nful result from a dinner in that ver, p'm, where thirteen were at table, A ey or two before the fatal xplosion on board the Prince- ton, which occurred on February 2 1844, he had issued invitations to a din ner, and on the afternoon of the day of the dinner he received from Mr. John Tyler a noto saying that Govenor Gil- mer had arvived on the southern bo; and would be pleased if Mr, Corcoran would allow him to bring him to the dinner, if it would not disturb his ar- rangements. Corcoran replied, saying how gratified he would be to have Governor Gilmer as his guest, but if he camo ho would maka thirteon, sup- posing Mr. Tyler would decline und allow Governor Giliner to take his place, Both the gentlomen came, however, and it was too late to make any change, and the dinner, with its thirteen guests, wenton to the end.

Talk About the Removil of tho Bodios of the Soventh Cavalry Captain C. 8. Humphroy, assistaut quar- termastor United States Army, has sent the following lotter to all tho bidders for tho removal of the bodies of the Seventh caval- rymen from the Wounded Kuee fiold to Fort Riley : “Iam directed by the quartermastor gon- cral to reject ail bids ana defer the removal of the bodics until such time as the remains can be moved without the use of metallio coftins or boxes.” "I'bis delay of this matter on the part of the War department has caused considerable talk in army eirclos, ospecially in the cavuiry arm. Already the troops of the gallant Sev- onth, assisted by contributions from their comrades in tho galloping Sixth (General Carr's command), have raised noarly $1,500 for the purpose of erecting u_suitable monu- ment in womory of their fallen comrades who bravely rodw to their death ou that bit- ter cold December afternoon. A Bk roporter lold a_conversation with sovoral oficers of ine Seventh cavalry ot Fort Riloy on the subject last Wednesday ond one and all say that the monument will be ons that the Seventh cavalry will be proud of.
