Preparations for the national oncump
inunt In Washington are progressing
favorably : The books of the committee
on arrangements show that more posts
have boon booked and quartered than at
any previous encampment BO far ahead
of the dale of meeting. The number
disposed of so early prosngos , in the
oulnlon of the committee , an attendance
of 300,000 pooplo. Ono of the features
of the parade will bo the unusually largo
number of mounted officers. In this ro-
epcct the encampment will eclipse any
thing ever soon In thn history of the
Grand Army. The staff of the com-
inandor-ln-chlof aggregates fully IWO
men and all of them well mounted. The
earno can bo said of the various deputy
commanders. Another feature of the
, parade will bo the addition , for the first
tlino , of the national association of naval
votorans. This body contains a mom-
borshlp of several thousand nnd their
yearly meeting will bo held in Baltimore
the same week of the encampment. The
day of the parade they propose to coino
to Washington in a body and partici
pate , A statement has boon sent
throughout the country from Chatta
nooga to the olToct that owing to the
conlllct of the date of the encampment ,
nnd the celebration attending the open
ing of Chlckamaugua-park , the encamp
ment has been postponed to the week of
September 27. Similar statements rela
tive to other gatherings have also boon
cl ciliated , but there is no truth in them.
The twenty-sixth national encampment
will bo held in this city during the week
of September 20.
The bill appropriating $100COO to aid
in defraying the expenses of the en
campment paused the sunn to. The
measure is opposed by members of the
Grand Army in 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 prl/.o.
The annual session of the Illinois de
partment , just closed , passed a resolu
tion requesting senators and representa
tives of that state to oppose the appro
priation. The Nelson ( Nob. ) post , at u
nicotine on the 14th inst , heartily endorsed -
dorsod the action of the Lincoln Board
of Trade and citizens generally in ou-
posing the appropriation of $100,000 tu
aid the city of Washington to carry out
the pledges made by the citizens of that
city to the Grand Army of the Republic
boya at Detroit when they secured the
national encampment

Philadelphia I'ross : Thirty-one years
ago , April 12 , at 4iO : ! in the morningtho
first gun of our great civil war was iirod
ngainst the starving garrison of Fort
Sumtor , and the echoes of that gun ha.vo
boon li'dard , and are yet heard , in every
land and ollmo. The shull from ono ol
tlio guns of the mortar batteries near
Fdi-t Johnson , as it rose In the dim twi
light and hurried on its mission of do-
Btruotiou , sounded the death-knoll of
slavery , although fired in Us defense.
At 2 i > , in. of the llth of April , 1801 ,
Gonorol ( Boiiurogard , commanding the
confederate forces nt Charleston , do-
mundod the surrender of Major Andor-
eon and his gallant nnd half-fed little
. garrison , offering to remove the troops
> with arms and private property anil
permit them to salute their llajr ns
they hauled it down from Sumtor , but
every olllcor in the fort seconded An
derson in his positive refusal. At 11 p.
in. of the Biunu day , Boiiurogard pro
posed tHjU Anderson should fix the time
when /lid / would evacuate Sumtor , to
which * liq replied that if not otherwise
Instructed or reinforced or supplied by
the government , ho would evacuate
Sumtor nt noon on the 16th. The ro-
uponso to this reply of Anderson's came
nt 8:20 : on the morning of April 12 , 1801 ,
informing him thai '
Uoaurogard's bat
teries would opun on the fort in ono
hour. In ono hour nnd ton minutes
thereafter , the fateful gun was firudthat
summoned nearly -10,000,000 of people to
fraternal conlllct.
Thirty-one years have passed away
tlnco the first gun of the civil war was
si fired ngainst Sumtor , and nearly nil of
the octors'ln that prelude to the blood
iest war of modern times now sloop with
the dreamless dead. Boaurogurd yet
survives , but only two of the gailnnt
officers who joined in the hopeless do-
feneo of the fort are now among the liv
ing , Ganoral S. W. Crawford , whoso
heroism was displayed on many buttle
fields , and General Doubleday , who ron
dorotl conspicuous service lu thu war ,
nro the only names wo can recall na the
lurvlvors of the fearful but bloodless
) ombrirdmont of Fort Snmtor on the 12lh
of April , 1801.
Hundreds of thousands foil before the
prim ronuors in the hnrvost ol death
during the war thnt followed , nnd tha
jhloftalns of both the hluo nnd the gray
iavo gone totho unknown beyond ; but
.ho ochoca of the first gun fired against
Sumtor nro yet hoard in every Innd

Washington Post : The remarks of
jonoral John B. Gordon on occasion of
the reception of the confederate votornns
at Now Orleans were replete with
patriotism and loyalty , and no ono who
knowa the distinguished Georgia
aonator can for a moment doubt the sin
cerity of his sonllmonta. Coming from
ono of the moat conspicuous soldiers of
the lost cause , who did hU best and
bravest upon the battle field to male
that cause an accomplished fact , they
cannot fall to remove whatever linger
ing doubts there yet may bo n to the
cordiality and good faith with which the
south bus accepted the arbitrament of
nrms nnd the supremacy of the union.
"Tho old order has passed , " said
General Gordon and a now era has
come ; " and amplifying the thought , ho
continued :
' . 'Blended now in ono common citizen
ship nnd in one American brotherhood
nro the bravo veterans of those vast
armies which once mot nnd grappled
each other In deadly combat , now forever -
ever untied in the ennobling pursuits of
peace , nnd witli their faces turned to
the promising mid pregnant future , they
are resolved by their joint ollorts to
uchlovo a destiny higher and grander ,
if possible , than was ever anticipated ,
or even liopod for by the founders of the
republic. "
And the tumultuous cheering which
greeted those utterances showed that
they found response in the hearts of the
multitude , who with him had sli'ircd
the fortunes nnd futoof the confederacy.
ICrnl Strength < > > tlio Oonfudorato Army.
Colonel A. 13. Cassolman contributes
to the March number of the Century
magazine n valuable article upon the
strength of the confederate army during
the rebellion , showing qulto conclu
sively that the south had in the Hold at
least 1,500,000 men instead of 000,000 or
700,000asusually stilted by southern writ
ers. As compared with this total ho
sets the union army down at 2,200,000
men , counting each soldier but once and
making duo allowances for ro-onltst-
inunt.
Colonel Cassolman makes the import
ant point that Houthorn statements of
the confederate strength are entirely
unreliable for the sufltoiont reason that
their muster rolls never have been
enumerated. In but a single state ,
North Carol ir.a , has any olVort been
made to compile nnd publish the names
on its muster rolls , with the result of
showing a considerably larger number
of enlisted men than had been estimated
foJ Unit state in ofllclul reports and
by confederate historians. If this
were the case in North Carolina
lina , there is every reason to
infer that the aamo understatement has
boon made in the other states. In the
case of the throe border states Mis
souri , Kentucky and Maryland Colonel
Cussolmau says the people were divided
about evenly and gave about an equal
nutnbor to each army. This , however ,
is hardly correct , says the Chicago
Tribune. Those states furnished fully
twice as many fighting men for the con
federate as for tlio union service , omit
ting1 the local homo guards who were at
homo and on their farms during the war
to protect their prooorty from rebel and
guerrilla raids. The federal govern
ment was obliged to maintain in those
throe states whole armies of northern
soldiers to keep their rebels down and
prevent thorn from formally joining .Toll
Davis' confederacy. The overwhelming
confederate political majorities ( riven 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
as it was during the rebellion. In the
same manner Delaware was rebel by a
two-thirds majority of its white popula
tion , and it sent several thousand soldiers
diors to the confederate army to help
.TufT Davis and. his democrats dismember
the union. Like HOIDO other states , it
had to bo pinned down with federal bay
onets and garrisoned with northern
boldlors to keep it in the union.
Admitting .that the northern forces
outnumbered the southern by 700,000
men (2,200,000 ( against 1,600,000) ) , the excess -
cess was employed In garrisoning hun
dreds ofc.tpturod rebel localities and in
guarding thousands of miles of southern
rivoi s an d railroads necessary for the
transportation of men , munitions and
food. The rebel commanders did not
have to waste and weaken their flold
forces in this way. The rebels claim
that Leo only had 00,000 man in the
Wilderness campaign , and yet General
Grant had the proofs of over 80,00(1 ( mon
in front of him. The rebels fought hard
and desperately. There is no question
about that. They came from a lighting
stock , but they fought no bettor and no
more bravely than the northern troops
of the same lighting stock. Though
1,600,000 of rebel soldiers were at homo
and generally fought behind defenses ,
they were driven back steadily
until they were all killed , wounded ,
taken prlbonorp , or dispersed , and thia
too though they occupied an area of
1,000,000 no u uro miles of didlcult coun
try for the north to invade nnd march
over. These nro the cold facts of his
tory. Undoubtedly the real object of
southern writers and military mon in
underrating their forces engaged in the
war of the rebellion him been to furnish
a plausible reason for their overwhelm
ing defeat nnd to magnify their bravery
and fighting quality as compared with
the soldiers of the north. It should not
bo dilllcult , however , to determine the
real facts in the capo. The rebel muster
rolls are in the archives of the War de
partment. The government has all the
data nnd a mere counting of the nnmoa
would give the actual strength of the
rebel army.

The confedoralo reunion in Now Or
leans closed on the Uth with a parade of
2.5,000 men. A resolution to hold the
next confederate reunion in Chicago
during the World's fair and that the
veterans attend the fair in n body , was
voted down on the ground that the delegates -
gates did not care to go anywhere that
they could not march under the confed

Bishop Coxo , in his lecture at. . the
Young Men's Christian association ,
says the BulTalo Courier , told this story :
' When I was rector of a church in
Baltimore I used to see a dear old lady
in the garb of a Quaker very often in
the congregation of the church. Ono of
the wardens said to mo : 'Mrs. is a
great friend of yours. ' 'I am glad to
hoar it'I said. 'Yca.'aaid the warden ,
'sho said to mo : "I love to hour your
pastor preach , but I should like him so
much bolter if ho did not receive money
for it. ' 'But , ' said the warden , 'ho
pays $20,000 a year for the privilege of
Kreaching to us. " 'Does ho , indeed , and
ow soV asked the old lady. 'Wojl , wo
both were educated at the same time
wo were of the same ago and I oani
$25,000 a year at my profession , while ho
only receives 85OOU. ' 'I tell theo' . said
the dear old Quaker , 'I shall always
hoar him hereafter with a great deal
more pleasure. "

Bon W. Taylor of Beatrice writes : The
assertion made by o secretary of the Ne

cans is the shortage of canmakors lu the
packlni ; season , when they are most noodcd ,
and the necessity of their being idle nil winter -
'
tor : aUo in no'i having patent caps , etc. ,
sounds ratuor peculiar coming from ono oc
cupying the position ho does. Unless the
death rate among the canmakors has been
most frighltully great within tbo past throu
years , wo think enough could bo found to
supply Nebraska. The fact of their being
idle nil winter does not justify the necessity
of this slnto of affairs. Concerning patent
caps , arrancomonts mignt bo made by which
thov could bo had at u reasonable price. The
tops of homo made cans could easily bo made
to receive these patent caps. Wo do not
think uny can factory would hesitate to sup
ply packers with whatever fraction of thu
whole they ( thu packers ) might see lit to
order. There is no apparent reason why
packers and can manufacturers should not
arrive at some satisfactory understanding
and stop this everlasting drain on the stale.
There U no class who spend more in proportion
tion to tbo amount oarncd than the wage-
workers. Not until the packers have done
all in their power to encourage home manu
facturers and provide moans by which a
greater number may obtain employment. In

Tbo manufacturers of Omaha are already
making preparations for the manufacturers'

They feel that the manufacturers of the
state must do themselves credit on this oc
casion or it will create an impression among
constituent that the manufacturing interests
of Nebraska are of little Importance.

will carry on the actual work of manufactur
ing , it will bo scon that it will make the flnest
Industrial display over hold in the west.
Quito a good many manufacturers , however ,
have not applied for space aud nro mUslng
the best opportunity that they will over have
to bring their ( roods to tbo attention of the
public. Another roawn why every manufac
turer should exhibit is that the whole object
of the exposition U to prove to the oooplo
that tbo Nebraska manufacturing Industries
are capable of supplying tbo demand for
goods lu their different lines und that there
is no necessity for sending out of tlio state
for goods that can bo made at homo.
The people of Nebraska have sent mllliors uf
dollars out of tha state because they did act
bellovu that thoj could obtain what they
wanted at homo. It remains with tbo manu
facturers to loach the people that pretty
nearly ovorythlr.tr Is made In Nebrasua. So
imicn has been said about the manufactur
ers , oxpoilttou that nooplu will oxuact to see
every line in the stuto represented , and they
will never tliinit to ask their dealers for
goods which they did not see an axtilbit A
manufacturer who Is too busy now to make
an exhibit and got acqu'iliuc > i with the people -
plo may later have plenty' bf tlmo to regret a
lost opportunity.

A ruled Tlilrlncn.
I was conversing n few days ago with
an old friend , snys n writer in the
Washington Star. lie related an Inci
dent of the late Mr. Corcoran's belief in
the generally rerognl/cd suportilution
of thirteen at table. During the time
Mr. Corcoran was making a struggle to
retain even a representation in the
Board of Directors ot Oak Hill ceme
tery , His munificent benefaction ,
a meeting had extended until
pretty late in the evening , and ho in
vited the gentlemen to supper , nnd on
buing seated , it was discovered that
there were thirteen at table. Mr. Cor
coran immediately arose and ordered
the servant to nerve him at an adjacent
table , and thus relieved the spoil , One
of the guests expressed his astonishment
hat a gentleman of Mr. Corcprr.n's Honbo
tnd Information should bo governed by
nch a superstition. Mr. Corcoran ro-
ued that ho had no defense to make for
i belief , pat ho hud witnessed u most
1 , nful result from a dinner in that very
j ) in , where thirteen were at t-.iblo. A
o y or two before the fatal
xploslon on board the Prince
ton , which occurred on February 23 ,
1841 , ho had issued Invitations to a din
ner , nnd on the aft&rnoon of the day of
the dinner ho received from Mr. John
Tyler u note saying that Govoiiior Gil-
mer hnd arrived un the southern boat ,
and would bo pleased if Mr. Corcoran
would allow him to bring him to the
dinner , If it would not disturb lib ar
rangements. Mr. Corcoran replied ,
saying how gratified ho would bo to
have Governor Glliuor as his guest , but
if lie caino he would make thirteen , sup
posing Mr. Tyler would decline and
allow Governor Gihnor to take Ills place.
Both the gentlemen came , liovvuvur , and
It was too late to make any change , and
the dinner , with its thirteen guests ,
wont on to the ond. Tlio next day
Governor Gilmor , bocrotary of the navy ,
was killed on board the Princeton.

MILITARY MATTERS.
Talk About the Homoviil "I tlio Hoitlon of
thu Hiitrnlli Ciiviilryiiion.
Captain C. S. Humphrey , assistant quar-
tormiistor United States Army , hits sent
the following loiter to all the bidders for the
removal of the bodies of the Sovunth cnval-
rvinen from the Wounded Knee liold to fort
liiloy :
"I am directed by the quartermaster gen
eral to reject nil bias nun dolor the removal
of the bodies until such time us the reimilna
can bo moved without llio use of mutallia
colllns or boxes. "
This delay of this matter on the part of the
War dopnriniont hns cims d considorablu
talk in army circles , especially in the cavalry
arm. Alroaay the troops of the gallant Sev
enth , assisted by contributions Irom their
comrades In the galloping Sixth ( Cionoial
Oarr's command ) , have raised nearly $1,51)0 )
for the purposoof erecting a suitable monument
ment la uiomory of their fallen comuidos
who bravely rodti to their death on that bitter -
tor cold December afternoon.
A BISK reporter hold a conversation with
bovoral officers of llio Seventh cavalry ut
Fort Hiloy on the subject lust Wednesday
and ono and all say that tlio monument will
bo ono that the Seventh cavalry will bo
proud of. The fund has reached the aiuniU-
cout sum of 81,500. This money will bo ox- ,
uonaed fcr the monument alone. The base
and other work neceusary will bo put in by
the quartermaster department. The Seventh
cavalry has baen called a clannish regiment ,
and It Is about so. The ofllcers or men or
the regiment were never known to go bnclc
on a comrade in distress , or to format those
who fell lighting by their side. The monument
ment will bo n standing reminder of tbo
Seventh cavalry when they uro gene from
Fort Hiley.
Sergeant Major A. Von Nyrenhom of the
Sixth cavalry Is undergoing medical treat
ment in Omaha for wounds received ui
Wounded Knee.
General Forsytho of the Seventh cavalry
was In Oinutm last weo'-t.

The Army mm Navy Kogistor says that a
considerable number of enlisted men in the
IS inth cavnlrv have sent to their lormur
major , Guy V. Henry , their congratulations
upon bis promotion to bo lieutenant colonel
of the Seventh. They wish him all happiness
and long hfo and that tlio enlisted mer. of the
now regiment may learn to love , obo.v and ro-
spjct htm as they of the Ninth have dono.
Continuing , tlicxio colored veterans say : "At.
