Xbe Tehran Caklo Old Abe—lts History.
fFrom the Pittsburgh Despatch.]
One of the moat distinguished delegates
to the great Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Conven
tion lately held in our city was, without
any prejudice to the gallant Boys in Blue,
Ola Abe, the War Eagle of the Eighth Regi
ment Wisconsin Volunteers. The Boys are
all proud of the overwhelming prominenoe
in public favor and attention accorded him,
and in feet he is no more and no less a vete
ran than the brave boys who won that title
by hard service in camp and battle-fields;
for the Wisconsin Eagle is a soldier.himself
and served three years, been inififteen bat
tles, and done good service to his country.
When quite young he was taken from the
nest in Chippewa county, by a Chippewa
Indian, in the month of Juljr, 186 b and was
sold to a farmer near by for a bushel of
corn. This new owner sayathat during the
"few weeks he kept the eagle he grew very
fetand saucy, and that, whilst vouching his
belligerent freaks among his other domes
tic animals, the idea-oner day “struck him
like a brick” that this:eagle should go to the
war Acting on this idea' he, took. him, to
Edit Claire, and offered himfor sale to Com
pany C, of the Eighth Wisconsin Volari- ‘
te Vsphile at Madison, the eagle was.hqnpred
bVthousands of visitors of high and lqw.de
gree. One of the officers had by this time
bestowed on him the name of Old Abri--a
name dear to the country, and’ -which well
becomes the gallant veteran. .He was. also
sworn into the United States service,a cere
mony which consisted in putting gr ound his
neck ribbons of red, white and blue, and de
corating bis breast with a rosette of the’same •
. colors! Being now a national bird, -he ‘was
famished at State expensewith a new perch,;
oohsistingof a shaft about five. feet long,
surmounted by a shield in the form of a
heart, tin which the stars and stripes'; wer*
painted, and above it a cross-piece on which
the eagle sat. This perchV'wmchwas used
throughout the war,,and is worn and bat?
tered by service, is still' preseryea ’by the
State as an army relic. ' j.: '.;'
Aneagle-bearerwas regularly appointed,
whOße duty it was • tosuperintend and care
for the bird, and carry him at‘the head of
thecqmpany. This duty devolved on Seve
ral of the boys in succession, and was always
eagerly sought and claimed.- Company C
was also the regimental color company; and
when the regiment formed in line the eagle
was always on the left of the color-bearer.
He shared all the battles of the regiment,
and was exposed to all their perils; and yet
not only did he escape all injury; ; but not a
color-bearer or eagle-bearer of the regiment
—though both conspicuous marks—'was ever
shot clown. Once or twice Old Abe wsb
grazed by a bullet, or had a few tail feathers 1
shot away; but not a drop of his blood was
ever shed in any engagement, .and the sol
diers were almost justified in the belief that
-he had a charmed life.
P It is said that at the battle of Farmington,
May 9th, 1866, the men bring exposed to a
galling fire, were ordered to lie down. ,He
insisted on being protected as well &3 they;
and, when liberated,"flattened ,himself on
the ground and there remained until the
men arose, when with outspread -wings he
resumed his place of peril, and held it to
the close of the contest. Of course his en
thusiasm inspired the whole brigade, who
believed that he sounded -the trumpet of
vi&tory, and whoavowed that he should
never be Captured by the enemy. The
bird which proved such an .inspiration to
the soldiers would natnrally be greatly ex
posed to the. rebel, sharpshooters.- At the:
battle of Corinththe rebel'General Price,
having discovered him,~ordered his men to
be sure and take him, ! if theycould not kill
him; adding that he would rather get that
bird than the entire brigade. 1 ■ ■
The Wisconsin Bth endured the dangers
and toils of the Red Rivfer expedition: they
stormed at Vicksburg;'New Madrid and
Islafnd No. 10 were inicribed on their ban
ners; nearly half their original number had
found! soldiers’ graves;-but it was their
boast that their eagle never lost a battle:
When at last their' perils were over and
their work well done, the Wisconsin Eagles
had a triumphant welcome home. There
was a public reception in Madison, and an
other in Ean Claire; there were bell-ring
ings, speeches '-arid salutes. : Finally, the .
eagle deservedly the chiefobject of notice to
the crowd, was publicly presented to the
Governor arid accepted on behalf of the-
State. -. Thus the pet and pride of the regi
ment waß' transferred to civil authority,
with an assrirance from the Governor that'
he should be -well- and -carefully provided
for,‘and as safely kept as possible, as long
- as hs lived.
3;n case you would-like-to--know someP
thing of the appearance of Old Abe, I must
not omit totell you that he is a large fellow,
measuring six feet and a half from tip to
tip of hfe spread wings, and his weight is
ten and a half pounds. As I have men- 1
tioned before, he has a bountifol fringe of
white feathers on his head and neck; his tail
also is white, spotted with black; but the
rest of his plumage Is of a fine chocolate,
with a golden tinge. His legs are bright
yejlow,. his. talons black and - -hooked, and
his eyes—Oh! but you mast see an eagle’s
eye to know its piercing power.
Wbecking in the Mississippi,—Nearly
forty years ago, the steamer Neptune sunk
in the bend below Cairo,and it' was reported
that she had a large amount of silver on
board. As there were no western bell or
wrecking boats in those days, no effort to
Bave any part of her cargo was made until
twenty or twenty-five years' afterwards,
when a bell-boat, after long search, suc
ceeded In finding the wreck, well buried in
the sandi /A large t quantity of" lead was re
covered, and among other articles brought
to the surface; was a keg of butter, which,
for a short time after-being opened; was ap
parently as fresh and sweet 1 as When it left
the.hpper air so manyyears before, But by
the time all hahds had examined it, the de
licious butter began to show signs of decay,
and in a few minutes emitted such a detesta
ble odor that the bystanders were glad to
push it overboard with long' poles, while
their noses were-tightly ’ compressed by ‘
their fingers aiid thumbs. A carpenter's
tool chest was also found,the toOlsin which,
when opened, seemed to'be in a remarkably
finOi state- of - preservation—the" 'wooden
handles- and the plane 3 appearing almost
uninjured; while the iron- seemed- to have /
only a. small-coating of rust. In a few
hours; however, after being exposed to' the
air,-the- entire woodwork crumbled into
dust, and the iron became so thickly coated
or eaten up with rust that it could be
broken in pieces by the fingers* It was never
known, publicly, whether any of the silver
: was" recovered,- Diit many persons thought
that the divers could tell more about it
than theyiisv6rJdid. !: If none of the silver
waaTWJOfyered, the owners of the bell-boat
were nevertheless paid fir their enterprise
by thfeßecovery of lead 'and other articles
.from thd wreck.— Oairo2l)'emocrut.

PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 5,1866.— T0 the Man*
Vh£r nfaclurer* and Journeymen Cigar JlaJcers eg
f'niladelphiar-GxxTS: I notice in to day’s Ledaera
card signed by Augustus Pfaff and Charles Biker
stating that since the resolution passed at a mft»n nf T
yonr membeis, thanking me for my defence ofyour
business Interests, In advocating a.tax upon, the
Raw Matebial, I veted in opposition to what I
then advocated, and that thiir names were used
without authority. Neither of these statements
are true. The resolutions of thanks were sent me
exactly as published. U was given unasked and
t eithout restriction, and these gentlemen, rcho -were
merely the officers of the meeting, will not attempt to
deny the statement over their signatures or such offi
cers. 1 voted for the amendment ; the passage of which
larged, to tax tobacco in the leaf as the workingmen
in ihe trade desired, believing it just and equitable. As
your letter admits, *“ I stood almost alone” In such
advocacy, and the amendment failed. Yet I take great
pleasure in saying tt at, notwithstanding the failure to
incorporate my amendment, I voted for the present
tax law. which not only to some degree relieves yonr
trade from the hardens of the former law, bat is an
ACT TO BEDU CQ3 TAXATION, and release the great
mats of the mechanics and business men of the coun
try Jrom impests amountieg to many millions of dol
lats. Very respectfully, yours,

IKS* PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6, 1866.—-Hamilton
ZHsston, Esq.:
Ijeab Bib: In reply to several klrd inquiries from
you, made with the intention of silencing the slanders
of oar opponents, I desire to say:
.First. That the assertion that Congress gave higher
bounty to the negro than to the white man is as mb
surd as it is false The act 3 became law by the signa
tures of Andrew Johnson: and had a*y such distinc
tion been made, he would very properly have used the
veto he is so fond of.
J voted for, and the Souse passed, a law giving
high er bounty to soldiers and to sailors too; but under
the pressure of a protest from Andy Johnson’s Secre
tary of the Treasury, the Senate remsed to concur in it;
and. on the last morning of the session, having Voted
down a bill to equalize our salaries, which was offered
and urged by the Democratic leaders of each House,
we took the best bounty bill we canid get the Senate
having Incorporated the equalization of salaries an d
bounties In one bill and refusing to pass one without
the other.
■Second. That the question of negro suffrage, about
which demagogues are prating so much. Is ia no wise
lrrvolvedin the issues before the people. The great
Constitutional Amendment exprestiy leaves it to the
several iSatcz.
That. amendment repudiates the rebel debt, guaran
tee* the payment of the National obligations, making
our bunas, pen sions and bounties secure: prevents for
sworn traitors from re occnpy ice the high piaoesof
the nation, andasseitsihatno Souihern man, disloyai
or tovof, shall, on the basis of rep -esentation, be al
lowed more votes than a Northern one.
Un the adoption of this amendment every Southern
State may, like Tennessee, obtain admission for its
loyal members. The fruits of our victories will then
be secnred. ard the country, released from the excite
ment produced by designing leaders, whoseonlv object
is to reach power, regardless of the popular voicb,
will, under a Judicious system of protection to the
bights of labor, marcb forward to a prosperity
hitherto Di.known, I am, air, yours, very truly, ;
OCS-2t * LEONARD MYjEBS.
THE HON. LEONARD MYERS’SERVICES
TO THfi STATE.— Tee following interesting
correspondence Is well worthy of perusal and explains
itself :
Harrisburg, August 0. 1366. ■
DeabSir: It is always agreeable to a public man
to feel tbat ne enjoys the contidence of hi 3 constituen
cy, and that he has so fulfilled the trusts committed to
his care aa to deserve their approbation. I awaited
the adjournment of Congress to thank you for the zeal
efficiency and fidelity you lent to the advocacy of the
bill you introduced, and which passed into a law at
the last session oi Congress, to reimburse money ad
vanced by the State in 1*63. at the request of the Presi
dent and Secretary of War.
Having failed to procure the appropriation at pre
ceding sessions ot Congress, altuuugh earnestly pressed
by. the Legislature of this Siaie and our members of
Congress, and as my term of office expired before an
other effort could be made, I watched the progress ot
your bill with much solicitude: and whilst the Interests
of i he people were faithfully served by our entire dele
gation In aiding the passage of the appropriation, I
nave never failed to speak of your able, perms tent and
successful eflbrtsas deserving the thanks of the State.
When reflecting upon the great questions upon
which you were called to act during the late session of
Congress. It must be agratlticatlon to vouto feel that
you gave this measure, so ins t and equitable in all re
spects, your earnest and efficient support.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
; r'f A, Q, CURTIN,
Hon. Leonard Myers.'
Philadelphia, August s, ISS6.
Sen. Andrew G. Curlin t Governor of Pennsylvani v:
Hear Sib : I cauhot feel otherwise than gratified at
your complimentary let 1 er upon the passage by
Cotgressof my bill reimbursing f7u0,000.t0 our state.
The measure, however, was, as you well remark,- “just
and equitable In all respects,” and I only did my duty
In presenting and urging it.
The money was. advanced by some of the banks of
Philadelphia, neither Congress nor the State Legisla
ture belngthen in session, to pay those troepsfrom our
State, who, in the great emergency of ISS3, volunteered
»o frepel the invaders, and pressed them back toward,
the decisive battle-grom d of the war, at Gettysburg.
When the legislature met, the State, at your in
stance. promptly assumed and afterward paid this
sum. Mi. Lincoln and the Secretary of War falfiUed
their premise to recommend the reimbursement; and
in suite of delays and strong opposition, it i 3 a pleasure
to feel that Congress at last recognized the validity of
the claim.
The pattwbich Pennsylvania bore In the war to put
tf own the rebellion—and Philadelphia did herfullahara
—is; indeed a proud one The records of the War De
partment show that we furnished over 366,000 soldiers
to defend the Union.
These were exclusive of the militia who, in 1862,1863
and 1864, sprang to arms at a moment’s notice to re
sist the renel hordes, and in addition to our gallant
saUprs who, equally with their comrades on the land,
aioed to render the American name "more illustrious
than ever. "Vet itadds to the feme of our goodly Com
monwealth that throughout the war she had in yonr
selt aGovernor-whose every pulsation was for his
country and who to known as the friend of its de
fenders. : .
Pleased tb have received commendations from such
« source, I am, with sincere regard.
