About Pensions.
The commissioner of pensions is
considering the advisability of recom
mending congress to pass an act to
pension Union soldiers who were in
rebel prisons any length of time. The
commissioner holds that the consti
tutions of many men were wrecked
and more Injury to heir usefulness
inflicted in thousands of coses by
starvation in prison pens, than by
service in the field or wounds in battle.
The Commissioner is investigating
whatsuch an act would cost the gov
eminent annually.

From the Saltsburg Prtiw .
When, several weeks a ., tho pro
ject of securing the encampment of the
Second Brigade, N. O. P., at Baits
burg, wu proposed, it was regarded
by many as a wild Idea. The question
arose, what Inducements bave we to
offer? Just then none were known.
A correspondence between Brigadier
General Beaver and Capt. Irvln speed
ily elicited what was desirable In the
way of accommodations for the con
templated encampment, whereupon a
map of the ground was made by Capt.
Irvln and submitted to the military
authorities for consideration. Subse
quently Oen. Beaver, accompanied by
several officers of the Second Brigade,
made a ' personal Inspection of the
proffered location, and pronounced it
Just the place for the purpose desired.
Authority was then given Capt. Irvin
to contract for the occupancy of the
ground, for lumber and for wood, and
to consummate general preliminary
arrangements for the encampment of
the Second Brigade.
On July 19 Major-General John F.
Hart ran ft, in General Orders No. 4,
ordered the encampment of the "Sec
ond Brigade from August 10th to Au
gust 18th, at Saltsburg, Pa." This was
followed by General Orders No. 3, by
Brigadier-General James A. Beaver,
July 20, via
"In accordance with the directions
of General Order No. 4, Division Head
quarters, July 10, 1881, the different
organizations of this Brigade will go
into cump on the Stewart farm, near
Hultsburg, Indiana county, Pa., on the
10th of August next."
Our citizens held a meelingat which
a fund was raised to defray the ex
pense of placing the numerous springs
and well of water upon the ground In
a condition to supply the soldiers with
a quality of good, healthy water, and
to remove the undergrowth and rub
bish from the fields, all which was
done to the efitire satisfaction of the
military, and on Saturday, August 6,
the first detail, under Major Lolir, ap
peared upon the field. Monday, Au
gust 8, further details arrived from the
several Regiments of the Brigade, and
active preparation was entered upon.
The mythical encampment had thus
gradually and quietly grown into a
stern reality, and on Tuesday the sons
of Mars had gathered into an impres
sive force. At tliis point a journalistic
bohemian, in his simplicity, was led
to exclaim, in crude Anulo-Saxon

"The utaid, upright, temperate little
country town of Bultsborg isshuken to
its center. The idle shadows that have
lazily marked the passing of its sum
mer days since Halt sbu rg became a
town, are lost in wonder because of the
scenes that are being enacted upon
its streets. A change has come over
the spirit of the long dream of its peo
ple. To-night motley crowds fill every
street, there is singing, in time anil
out of time, the blowing of tin horns,
merry laughter and strange cries.
Within half a mile' are encamped
twelve hundred men, from which body
enough are drawn to work the effect
noted."
Truly, this was a most ridiculous
baptism, and we all bore the infliction
manfully, well knowing that the "an
ticipated "good time" in that shape
would very shortly be nipped in the
bud, and the jubilant boys be trans
formed into sedate and practical vet
eran troopers, with the "noise"
knocked out. It was even so. anl not

lant and active in the preservation and
maintenance of good order. And thus
Tuesday night closed down upon an
imposing array of the sons of Mars re
posing in the Vallanibrosa of the rour-
ing iviHklminetas.
Wednesday morning the encamp
ment of the Second Briiiude tiud as
sumed its military appearance in dead
earnest, the last command getting in
at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening. Oen.
Beaver named the cump Camp Vin
cent, In honor of Oen. Storm Vincent,
commander of the 83d Pennsylvania
Volunteers, known to fame as the Erie
Regiment. Gen-. Vincent was made
Brigadier-General the day before the
battle of Gettysburg, ami was killed
within twenty-four hours alter his
promotion.
The different regiments and batter
ies are situated as follows: First, to the
extreme right as you go up Pittsburg
road, the Titusville Battery is located,
almost reaching to the railroad. Di
rectly in front of this is Gen. Beaver's
headquarters, just in the edire of the
woods, commanding a view of the en
tire field, and then going west the reg
iments come in the lollowing order:
Tentht Sixteenth, Filth and the Four
teenth, which is the last one on the
right of the road. Alter crossing the
pine, me meenin comes first, partly
occupying the adjoining woods and
extending out on the meadow, which
also contains the Eighteenth. These
two regiments bave the mostdesirnble
situation, although from the grounds
of the Tenth a more extended view is
obtained and better breezes. In front
of the Klskimiuetas in the surround
ing woods is division headquarters, to
be occupies dv wem Jiartraim and
staff. Between this and the Eigh
teeuth is the Sheridan Cavalry.
The surroundings and situation of
the General of the Division headauar
ters are pronounced by all theoflleers
the most delightful they Imve ever
seen, 'the Wednesday morning Ttnict
describes tne camping ground as being
a cipher in comparison witli Camp
Hays, indeed, almost a desert, while
General Beuver said,- to- a reporter
upon being questioned about the situa
tion tins year, "that lie thought it in
space, in the easy accet-sto the railroad.
far cuperior to any camping ground
the National Guards had occupied for
years."
Brigade Inspector Hazzard thought
it a place fitted exactly to the needs ot
a regular military camp, and so fur as
shade is concerned he said "that the
tents ought to be placed in the sun. if
possible.' The only complaint vou
hear, is ubnut the absence of a lager
beer-sulooD, which, from the many
qut-Mions usKea about it, seems an es
seiitidl thing in caaip. The supply of
water is abundant, titere being almost
a dozen springs In tne Immediate vi
cinity of the quarters of the different
regluient. The water is- also noted
for IU purity
The first troops on the ground were
1 ne regiments irom ruuimrg. 1 lie
Fourteenth marched in shortly alter
tnrec o'clock, and the eighteenth
few minutes after. A ttva hours' ride
over a distance that should be run in
two hours is not calculated to refresh
or invigorate, but tired ud dusty the
boys weut to work with a will getting
ready for the night. The tents were
all up, the details having attended to
that. The blue coata swarmed all over
the grounds; floors went down In the
tents, where needed, with remarka
ble rapidity; tranche were dug around
the tents and beds made, while the
ign fiend commenced operations with
out delay. ...
At 6 o'clock the camp had settled
down to a great extent. The Tenth
Regiment had gotten in and taken up
Its quarters. Guards were mounted
around the enmp, but considerable lax
ness was allowed in consideration of Its
being the first night. Many of the
boys came across the river to Salts
burg and had a gay old time. This is
a local option town, but if you know
the ropes there Is plenty to drink. To
strangers the local option law was suf
ficient to cut off the intoxicating bev
erages, but they enjoyed themselves
nevertheless A tin horn brigade held
the depot and a tin pan crowd the
main street. Every nook and cranny
of the town was explored, and the boys
reported that the only thing remarka
ble about it was the number of drug
stores and the extreme partiality shown
by the girls for the men in brass but
tons ana blue clothes.
At the camp the scene was very
pretty. The moon was out in all its
glory without a cloud dense enough to
even dim the flood of light. Every
tent could be seen as plainly as In
broad day; the regimental bands were
playing, a score of glee clubs singing,
and, the gallant ecreuader held the
fort.
The Fourteenth headquarters Is
brightened by the presence of a num
ber of ladies, who were delighted with
their first experience In tne tented
.field. The discipline was not strict,
and the merriment was kept up until
it died away naturally, long after midnight.
Wednesday morning It was all busi
ness. The different regiments bad
squads policing the grounds Brush,
weeds and stones were cleared away
rapidly, and the streets on which the
tents tace in a tew hours wore a new
look. Guards were mounted and pa-
troled the camp. Gen. Beaver visited
the regimental headquarters, and there
was considerable interchange of visits
among me omcers.
The Sixteenth, Col. John A. Wilev.
came in at 7:20 and the Titusville But
tery at 10:30, leaving but two gaps to
lie nueci, tne quarters of the Filth and
Sixteenth Regiments Signs began to
go up as the boys began to get a little
leisure. A photographer opened up to
a good business, and barbershops were
sticking an arounu.
A sutler with flag-bedecked booth
was inside the fence and two or three
outside. The sutler profiting by his
experience of a year ago, when he was
raided by the boys for extortion,
charged reasonable prices- Gen. Beaver
shut down on a number of teamsters
who wanted to make hay too rapidly
while tne sun shone. They were do
mantling one dollar to haul u load
from the station. The General heard
of it and fixed the rate at forty cents,
and even at this figure they could
make ten or twelve dollars a day. An
other action of Gen. Beaver's that was
commended on every side was the
abolishing of all flas, signs, etc., ex
cept su!h as are allowed by military
rules. An order cut this thing olf
short, and It certainly improved the
looks of the camp. If the troops had
kept ud the business much longer the
camp would nave looked more like
circus or a country fair than like a
military town, in some of the resri
ments it was not practiced to any great
extent; in oiners it was carried to ex
tremes.
A walk through the camp and an in
spection of the various quarters showed
plainly the difference iu the men in
tlie service. An order acainst uoinir
to Saltsburg and the knowledge that a
guard held the bridge, while details
were reudy to arrest any who might
succeed in getting into the town, kept
rue men in cumit, giving a gooa op
portunity to see them all. The tents
told the peculiarities of their owners,
In one tent there would be nothing
but what the orders demand. In the
next everything that could be seen
while iu many pictures and ornaments
were p'enimu. The prettiest tent in
the cump Is that where Mai Speer of
the Eighteenth reigns supreme. It is
floored and neatly carpeted. Two iron
bedsteads, mirror, wash-stand, tabl
and a score of articles tendinir to tli
luxurious are scattered about, making
the canvas house tit for a ladv's bou
doir. The officers' tents, as a rule, are
well fitted up, but not even brigade or
any of the regimeutnl headquarters

Heretofore in citizen soldiers. To say

Thursday was a dull day In enmn.
with but little of the news order afloat.
The parade ground was used to the
tuilest extent in the morning by com
pany drills, giviug the camp a de
cidedly warlike appearance. Gen.
L.nt t a and stall arrived and went into
quarters in the Kiskiminetus Hotel
grove. On this day many citizens
visited the camp.
Early Friday morning orders were
received to put the quarters iu perfect
trim, v hich was accomplished before
8 o'clock. Every straw, piece of pa
per and any other rubbish which was
collected in the avenues were cleared
away very carefully.
At an early hour crowds of visitors
thronged the .ground, getting shady
positions from which they could wit
ness the inspection. Noteworthy is
the fact that the fair sex express in
tense delight in witnessing those pa
rades, and so attracted were they on
Thursday that they stood in t he hot
sun all afternoon, not withstanding the
faet that during the inspection a num
ber of men were overcome witli heat
und carried to their quarters.
Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, Friday
morning, the Fourteenth Regiment,
commanded by Col. Gray, formed and

455 men. and passed the inspection
ulendidly, Company F currying off
he honors, it having CO men in line,
he whole number in the company.
They were then marched to their
quarters, and gave three hearty
cheers for Col. Gray anil staff. Iu the
evening, at 6 o'clock, the Fifth regi-
nent passed the inspection all right.
While the Fourteenth were under
going tiieir examination three men
were overcome witli futiuueand heat
but soon recovered after being taken
to their quarters.
Alter the inspection or the four

tiie compliment of having passed the
best inspection in the spring. This is
quite a compliment o Col. Huwkins
and Mujor Kent who are looked upon
as being the most thorougniy nriiieu
and efficient militia men in the Na
tional Guards. All the officers of the
Tenth served in the late war. This
accounts for their tine marching and
uniform movements on the parade
ground. Just after the lenth nan

and were escorted to Division Head

teenth at 11 A. M. Battery B and
the Sheridan Troop were inspected
also at the same hour respectively two
Inspecting officers, Gen. LatU and
Col. Cunningham, being at work at
the name time.
Saturday was an Important day at
Camp Vincent. The Inspection of the
Fifteenth Regiment, Titusville Bat
tery and Sheridan Troop took place In
the morning, each command acquit
ting itself creditably. At ten o'clock
Gov, Hoyt reached the camp, amid
the roar of the Titusville Battery's
guns firing the Governor's salute.
Shortly after orders were Issued to the
regimental commanders to prepare for
camp inspection, and the Governor,

and the staffs passed through the camp
of the different regiments. They were
escorted by the Sheridan Troop, the
Governor riding in a wagonette and
theothera mounted. The entire round
was made without stopping, and the
companies which had been drawn up
on the company streets before the tents
for Inspection, broke ranks. The day
was hot and sultry, but towards noon
the clouds began to gather- Shortly
after 12 o'clock the first drop of rain
fell and in a few minutes a heavy

The rain continued until half past
two, when it cleared up, leaving the
parade grounds In excellent condition
for the review. An hour afterwards
the troops were on the ground ready
for the signal to move. The .Eigh
teenth, Col. Guthrie, occupied the
extreme right; the Fifteenth, Col
Carpenter; the Fourteeth, Col. Gray;
the Firth, uoi. jiurcnneid; the Six
teenth. Col. Wiley: and the Tenth,
Col. Hawkins, following in the order
named, the troops facing towards the
reviewing stand The Battery was on
the left. (Jen. Beaver and staff' rode
down the field, taking a position in
front of the Brigade, in line with the
brigade markers at the reviewing
stand The line being formed, Gov.
Hoyt, Gen. Hartranft and staff, es
corted by the Sheridan Troop, rode
down to the reviewing stand. The
usual ceremonies were going through
with, and Gen. Beaver und stall' joined
the officers at tiie reviewing stand.
They then passed down the front of
the Brigade and up the rear, the Four
teenth Regiment bund playing "Hail
to the Chief." The sight was a very
pretty one. The body of uniformed
officers, the handsome brigade flags,
and the long lines of blue clothed men
standing like statues, not a muscle
moving. The sky had been overcast
at the commencement of the review,
but the sun broke out as the Governor
rode down the line, the bayonets and
polished gun barrels throwing back
the rays, and every part of the trap
pings of the men cupable of reflection
glistening. When the insneclion was
concluded, and the Governor and staff
back ut the reviewing stand, the regi
ments swung into line, company front,
and, headed by the band, passed down
the parade ground. Tiie solid march
ing 01 men was universally commen
ded and frequently culled form ap
plause from the spectators. Thus
closed the grand review.
Governor Hoyt complimented Gen
era! Beaver on having the Second Bri
gade in such splendid condition, and
at o:;iu tooK uis leave, whereupon a
salute of seven guns was fired.
The review was nrst-ciass in every
respect and without a doubt the finest
ever held 111 western Pennsylvania
J. T. Stewart of the Army ami
Navy, and authority on military af
fairs, stated that the review of the
Brigade, wasequul, taking all in all,
to that of the First Brigade, which he
witnessed a few days ago. In some
respects the Second was superior; in
others the 1'irst is entitled to the high
est rank, but taking it all through the
Sccoud wii9 not surpassed by its rival
of the East. The ollicers are pleased
witli the result und state thut it is the
best review ever held in the Hrigucie.
After the review the Titusville Uat
ter.y gave an exhibition of what it can
do in the way of going into action.
The Battery marched buck a quarter
mile or more, turned and came up
with a rush. Whips and spur were
plaid vigorously, until every horse
was on a dead jump. The guns
would bounce into the air as they
struck stonea or crossed the ruts,, but
there was no slacking in pace. If it
had been a race for a position upon
which the fate of an army hung, the
men could not have urged the horses
harder. They kept on until fifty
yards from headquarters, aud then
pulled up with tiie horses on tiieir
haunches. The guns were unlim
bered, the horses and wagons dashed
to tho rear, the gunners run to their
positions, aud in a few seconds the
four pieces were being worked' with a
win. 11 it had been nan uisieiui in
blank cartridge, it could not have
created more consternation among
the Indies at headauarters. The noise
hurt their heads and the smoke stifled
them, but after the first few discharges,
they stood the raeket gaily. The man
ceuvre was repeated by the Buttery,
and elicited high prnist. In tbeeven-
ng the usual dress parades were held
and the camp settled down, the men
glad that review and inspection were
over.
Sunday there were large crowds of
people in camp all day. Special trams
took the visitors from Pittsbuig and
way points, country people came In
all kind of vehicles, until the camp
was fairly overrun. Every thing wus
quiet and orderly. The troop enter
tained their friends and had less camp
work to do than Ardlnarily. in the
evening the usual dress rarades were
given, and shortly after the camp was
deserted by all save those wboes homes
It has been for tne past ween.
Monday, aside from the usual rou
tine of camp duties, the monotony was
disturbed, about noon, by a suaiu at
tack by the Tenth Regiment on tne
Titusville Buttery. Tho Regiment

fire from the Battery, nnaiiy tuKing
