Enterprise went no further. The
j Granville boys' had a lot of this
-wL money sent to them at Memphis,
vSand some one in the 76th did du--ty
as President, while Co. K of
the 58th furnished the Cashier.
As it was very good looking
money, there was no difficulty in
passing it at a discount. The
merchants of the city were re
joicing in a good trade, for they
could sell their goods at almost
any price, providing they could
change a bill! The 76th put
, some of it off at the female board
, .. ing houses.
Then we went to.Germantown
i where we killed the bloodhounds.
"We were accompanied by a cav
alry regiment from Illinois com
manded by Col., afterwards Brig.
Gen. Grierson,;who won fame by
- his raid through Mississippi. We
spent theTourth of July there.
and I made a speech. That was
a mighty good speech. Our com
pany had a barrel of beer and af
ter it was drunk the boys wanted
a speech and I made an oration.
It was very full of pith.
Back to Memphis where the
Granville Bank had bursted;
then to Helena, Ark., to relieve
c Curtis' array, who, after having
marched across the State, arrived
there without bottomB to their
shoes or soles to their pants. This
was not "Saint" Helena, it waa
Helena, Ark., which, in giving
passes, tc, we used to abreviate,
so as to read, ''Corporal Kanode
has permission to go Hel and
back at 3 o'clock.'' Here we had
a fight with the 1st Nebraska and
got the best of it. We had six or
eight men wounded and they had
about the same wounded and a
couple of fuierals. I was in this
fight that a little dutchman who
could not step over a cob without
rolling it, charged upon a big 8 e
braska sergeant with a rail. The
Nebraska man emptied his re
volver without making the dutch
man bat an eye; then the rail
came down and the Nebraska
man looked like a wafer. For
downright essential meanness
the 1st Nebraska laid over any
thing I ever knew as far as fresh
guano over a huckleberry. Af-
ter this fight we were separated
from the IstNebraska- and trans
ferred to Wood's brig de.
With this brigade, consisting of
the 58th and 76th Ohio Infantry,
-a squadron of cavalry and two
-sections of a battery, in conjunc
tion with a fleet of gunboats, we
Tnade a raid down the Mississippi
river. At Milliken's Bend we
jumped ashore at daylight one
morning and captured the steam
ier "Fair Play," said to have had
on board 35,000 stand of Enfield
rifles and two pieces of field ar
tillery, the camp of the 31st Lou
isana infantry, captured one of
their regimental flag6, took fifty
odd of their men priEoners, run
the rest nine miles, some in shirts
and some in pants, burnt a rail
road station;, train of cars, de
stroyed a railroad bridge, and got
back to the boats about 5 o'clock
in the afternoon, having eaten
watermelons all the-way going
and returning, and never fired a
shot ! That railroad station was
Kichmon, La., about 12 miles
irora Vicksburg.
That evening we saw Vicks
Imrgforthe first time, crowned
with its beauMful court house
and black with people looking at
. the Yanks That was the goal
of our regiment; to that all our
. efforts were bending, and its cap
ture was the crown of all our de
sires. It was with lively emo
tions we gazed upon it as the soft
light of 6unset floated over its
shady yards and sunny streets
-and frowning battlements; while
a. beautiful blue haze floated over
it like a wreath for the victor.
It was our promised bride and
we were eager for the nuptials.
The next morning we went on
board the ram Monarch and pre
ceded by the gunboat Benton,
went up -the Yazoo river and took
a battery the Confederates were
erecting at Haine's Bluff. It be
ing my bilhday, Aug. 19, 1 had
command of the covering party
. while the remainder of the
r g"m nl rolled hprrels of pow
der and tons of shot and shell in
to the river after taking all they
wanted. Three -32-pounder and
one 64 pounder iron guns were
bursted, and we took away a flue
Parrot gun and two Howitzers.
.Tiiese were the largest brass gnus
I over saw.
We went on the boats after
having destro3'cd military stores are they, who win the true respect
estimated to bo woilh more than Lfmen, aird whoso works endure to
a million dollars, and which was temitv. Theso are the mothers
worth more than five-times that jnd wives, whose words' aHd looks
much to the enemy. As we lay j,ve ;n merj's hearts pleading, en
in the river that night I saw, foiiCOUraging or consoling, iu the not
J,he first time, alligators in free i0f revelry, the terror of danger, or
landed and fought the rebels at
Grand Lake, Arkansas, again at
Greenville. Miss., and again at
Bolivar, MiRR., capturing horses
-and men At Columbia, on our
way up, one night we burned a
very large wharf boat which we
could not tow away. While it
was burning, a detachment from
Co. K and another from Co. B
rowed silently up the river, each
having a coffin with them. This
was a celebrated rendezvous for
guerrillas and the burial parlies,
were strong and fully armed.
The night was moonless and a
thin haze rendered the star-light
uncertain, as they landed at a
secluded spot under the whisper
ing boughs of a clump of tree,
beside a suspicious looking field
neglected and overgrown with
bushes, on the other side of which
was a dense dark woods. Not a
living thing could be seen; but
the dismal creak of the lonely
frog and wary crake of the gryl
lus seemed to warn us of a lurk
ing foe. When a fllash of the
burning boat would suddenly re
veal one of the pickets thrown
out to protect those engaged in
the burial, they seemed not ours,
but unquiet spirits emerging
from the gleom beyond ; and the
dewey leaves, reflecting the red
glare seemed to be dripping with
blood, as in silence, darkness and
danger we laid our comrades in
the hostile earth. And there
sleeps Abraham Lecrone. I do
not know the name of the man
of Co. B. Having finished these
solemn rites we started to return.
The burning boat had swung out
from shore and became an awful
pyramid of flame, which, as it
floated on the glowing river,
seemed a newly alighted angel
denouncing the judgments of
heaven against the crimes of a
nation.
Back again to our shady camp
on the bluffs near Helena, where
we had the Yellow fever, (it's
down in tl-e reports as typhoid.)
where you speculated in water
melons, and where there were
lice in the dust. Altogether the
memories of this, camp are the
most unpleasant ef any we ever
had; even cool, beautiful, but
poisonous springs where yon shot
the rattlesnake, which die Sur
geon ate.
In the fall we went with Oster
haus, in whose division we were,
and his Missouri Dutch, a first
rate set of fellows, to St. Genevieve,
Mo., where Fred. Stulier bought
the gose. That was a picnic, boys!
jt was in thatglorious season when
the air was laden with rich fragrance
of Autumn; and the early frosts
sparkle in the morning like the bead
on ider; and the trees are clad in
as brilliant colors as the ladies at a
county fair. Will you ever forget
our nice, clear, dry camp on the
grassy commons beside the town
where everybody talked French or
German and was so kind, and hon
est, and obliging? where every
thing was so plenty, and cheap,
and good? Grapes by the bushel
for almost nothing, apples as ripe
and juicy as a lussie's lips, grape ci
der ten cent a bucket full without
regard to the size of the bucket,
eggs, fresh meat, soft bread, good
butter everything! Then there
was cool, creamy, foaming beer,
made for drinking and not fcr ma
king drunk; smooth, oily, old peach
brandy that gleamed at you from
its amber depths like the coaxing
glance of a womau and wreathed in
the glass like her tresses, and wine
that twinkled like the sly glances of
the pretty girls that told their
beads in the beautiful church of St.
Genevieve. So Avas the march
through to Pilot Knob and Arca
dia. At almost every farm house
along the r:ad the good nalured
peeple had fixed up their stands to
supply our wants, and they gave us
our money's worth and a God's
bless you besides. Such nicely
cooked chickens, rich milk, such
corn-bread it makes the mouth
water t think of it! I never saw
peop!e that appeared to know so
well what soldiers wanted, and all
served by such clean, kind, raother
jy looking ladios, who seemed not
to care tor the pay in the pleasure
f seeing us enjoy their food. Did
not the rude soldiers insult them ?
No, thre would have been a thoiis
and stalwart amis raised to smite
4.he insultcr. Such ladies never
lack defenders. Those ladies who
do not have special missions to lead
reforms, or tote, or manage politic
al campaigns, but whose trustful
hearts are filled with less ostenta
tions, but nobler duties ot wile
hood, motherhood and home, these
tfom, with their eyes slicking o'ut
of the water like knob on a bu
reau. Wcr proceeded up the
Yazoo next dav to the mouth of
the pangs of death. These are the
unconscious angels of good to men;
and when the deep, warm, woman
lv nature, which God cave thorn
know that the great and mighty
Lord of the universe has made you
ruler over many ! You little sus
pect the high and holy place you
hold in the hearts of the men who
fight the battles of the world!
Ab We marched into Arcadia we
passed a little fort with nobody in
itbut a tremendous big gun. Pass
ing through the town the Division
encamped in order of battle the
Missori Dutch on the right and the
Ohio Dutch on the left on a fine
level plain. The company officers'
tents extended in a wonderful'y
straight line for nearly two miks
.while across the wido street in front
of them the humming ranks of
company quarters projec:ed like
the teeth of a huge comb Here we
had drill, good health, good food
and good times. Here the Divis
ion was reviewed By Gen. Pieason
ton of the Missouri State troops.
After standing at attention and
shoulder arras for four mortal hours
momentarily expecting, he prob
ably did not think that, that long
line of rusty blouses as straight
and firm and silent as a wall looked
as well as the Home Guards in their
new uniforms. I was the maddest
man in Missouri for I had on a pair
of tight boots. The purpose of our
occupation of Missouri having been
accomplished, Division returned to
St Genevieve recruited in hea'th
and spirits, and started again for
Southern swamps and sow-belly.
Our next c-imp was Camp Steele
in a cotton wood break opposite
Helena, Ark. It is difficult for a
person who had never seen a cotton
wood brake, to imagine how close
those little cottonwood . trees grow
Saplings from two to four inches in
diameter grew almost like grass
from twelve to eighteen feet high,
forming an impenetrable barrier
through which the pioneers had to
carve a road. Beyond this wall
stretched an unbroken wilderness
I do not know how far. I do not
remember that we ever met a sign
of a humin being outside of our
own regiment, in all that region.
Here wehad easy times, the boys
shot coons on picket at night and
hunted squirrels by day.
At this time the army was pre
paring for the attack on Vicks
burg and absent men were ordered
to the regiments, and we also receiv
ed some recruits This was, at
least to us, the great struggle of
the war; for upon the fate of Vicks
burg depended the fate of the South
ern Confederacy perhaps more
than that of any other place with
the possible, exception of Richmond.
It was no child's play that we ex
pected, and it was therefore with
mingled and conflicting emotions
that the troops embarked for the
contest. There was satisfaction
that at last the event was to be
tried; eagemes. begotten of ambi
of ambition and love for the glor
ious excitement of battle, and ap
prehension for the result, for we all
knew the mighty difficulties, not un
mixed with gloomy forebodings as to
their own fates, which is human
and honorable, when it is not das
tardly, and many a brave eye grew
dim and moist as the soldiers
thought of the dear ones at home.
Boats, coats, coats filled and
brimming over with -soldiers cover
ed the river, a cloud of smoke rest
ed on the air like a pall," and when
you wanted a drink you had to
knock a scum off of the water as
rich but not as nice as cream. The
drinking water we had there just be
fore the fleet started was a sort of
compound Stomach Bitters and al
most as fragrant as the waters of
some medical srpings. But finally
westirted and the long line of
black smoke stretched like a b'ack
eyebrow over the horizon.
We belonged to the First Brig
ade of the First Division under
Gen. Steele, (Frank Blair com
manded our brigade.) and were con
sequently in the advance. In a
magniricent bend ot the river,
broad and quiet as a lake, where
you coii'd ha-e dipped out a river
halfa-dozen times as lare as the
Hocking without disturbing a mus
sel shell, there was a review of the
fleet of transports; at least, that is
what I supposed it was. For some
reason the boats, about one hun
dred in number, (a comrade says
one hundred and five,) stopped in
the bend and floated in a giaceful
curve nearly ten miles long every
part of which -was in view. A
dense and tall cctton wood brake
that extended all along the convex
side of the bend formed a fi.tin,.
background
The setting sun had dropped be
neath tne horizon and the air was
full of a soft violet HgM deepen
ing in the darker shades to indigo,
which aided by the distance oblit
erated the aistinction between the
air and water; and the boa's rest
ing so gently on the etherialized
flood, were like clouds float ng amid
the glories of a summer sunset. Ah!
they were clouds- each filled with
a hideus tempest. It was ne of the
most beautiful sights I ever saw;
dusky wings shut out the vision.
After the review the officers of
our regiment' gathered in the cabin
of the boat to spend the Christmas
evening in a friendly, social party;
for many of us. We were happy,
joyful, hilarious, but with all and
amid all runga sweet sad minor
chord, which rose and trembled
with tenderness when--at" last we
all Dister, Hinser, Kaufman
you know them all shook bands
because we might never again
pass so happy a night together.
There was no mawkish sentimental
ity there, ltwas the true ring of
brave and generous hearts. It
sprang from a feeling planted by
the unity of a noblo purpose, water
ed by mutual dangei'S"and"strengtl
ened by mutual hardships; a feel
ing such as soldiors have for com"
rades; such as we have for each
other, which wo cannot describe or
name, but which the world can
not give and the world cannot
take away.
Next day we landed at Chick
aaw Bayou, drove in the rebel
pickets at night and lay down un
der our blankets in a drizzling rain;
and both the hostile hosts sought
rest for the deadly struggle of the
morrow. Having bronght you to
the eve of the great battle I must
stop. I have kept you too long al
ready. Theincidents I have chos
en ra-ty not be interesting to others
as to myself, and, I fear, have not
been skillfully told. You will
grant them one merit, they are true.
If I have woiried you I hope you
will grant me this excuse, that the
nature ot my subject precluded brev
hy; and that you will believe that
I did not seek this honor with any
hope of distinguishing myself as an
orator, but. being asked, have done
what I could for the honor of the
old regiment and for the entertain
of those brave men whoso blank
ets I have shared in other times,
and in whoso glory 1 have a part.
To the-e engagements with our. his
tory I will say that the time passed
over, in this sketch comprises the
first year of the regiment's service.
It stops at the eve of the battle of
Chickasiw Bayou, and consequent
ly does not take up any part of the
most interesting portion of the
history of its service. From the
ChickaBaw Byou battle to the
time the regiment landed iff Vicks
burir as Provost Guards, a period of
more than six months the regi
mentsor some portion of i ; was inces
santly engaged in operations cul
minating in the surrender of Vicks
burg. These must be deffered to
another time.

Burr Robbing anil His Snow.
Among American showmen
there is none who occupy so high
a place in the estimation of the
public, especially the farmers, as
Burr Bobbins, of Janesville.Wis.,
he having kept faith with the
people from the very commence
meit of his circus career, always
advertising just what was to be
seen in his show & always show
ing what he advertised. In this
way he has buil a reputation for
honest, straightforward dealing
whis is now in these days of
bombastic advertisments of great
value to him. Other shows ad
vertise everything on earth, and
many things which never were
on earth, such as a white eleph
ant, and fail to show what they
promise to. but he keeps on in
good old fashioned style of tell
ing the truth and sticking to it.
When he sa3's that his new con
solidated shows, which travel by
rail and require three special
trains to draw them, present fea
tures to be seen in no other show,
the people know it and turn out
accordingly. When he says that
his street parade is of great
length, variety and attractive,
and well worth a long journev to
view, the people know that they
can rely upon the statement.
When he declares that he has the
best collection of animals to be
se n in any tenting exhibition in
America, and that it contains the
only White .Nile Hippopotamus,
the Beheiniilh of the Bible, and
that, his great dual circus lias
more celebrated artists, riders,
gymnasts, acrobats, leapers, tum
blers, etc., than ever before" pre
sented, the people know these to
be plain tacts and act. according
ly. Burr Robbins will be here
with his big show next. Saturday,

10 a. m., and exhibitio both tf

so love'y, so soothing, so dream

Grovek Cleveland is a native
of New Jersey, born at Caldwell,
Essex county, March 18, 1837.
Young Cleveland was sent to the
Acadf my," Clinton, Oneida, coun
ty, New York. Upon leaving the
seat of learning, he went to New
York City, where he filled for
some time the position of clerk
in an institution of charity. Vis
iting an uncle residing in Buffalo,
he was induced to remain in that
city as clerk in the store of Lis
relative. He was r-ighteen years
of age at that lime. We soon
find the youth a clerk in the of
fice of a prominent law firm. He
was admitted to the bar in 1859.
His first political office was as
Assistant District Attornej' for
the county of Erie, under C. C.
Torrance. He held the position
three years, until the end of his
superior's term of office, ;vhen he
was nominated for District At
torney on the Democratic ticket,
but defea'ed. In lS70,"five years
after this failure, he was ele ted
Sheriff of Erie county, and in
November, 18Sl",was elected May
