I know you are hungry, and besides, all of you are charged to the muzzle with your own recollections and are impatiently longing for the opportunity to grasp the hand of some comrade, and to recall to each other a few of those almost forgotten incidents which to-day throng

in your memory. Therefore I will thus abruptly break off the thread of this narrative and after the formal cere- monies of the day are over, we will meet face to face, hand clasped in hand, and together we will continue the history I have only just commenced. Together will we. upon the wings of those thronging memories that hover round us to-day, again glide up the broad Mississippi on board the old "Blue Wing ;" up the silvery, winding, silent Tennessee, between whose high and wooded banks we sailed for days, scarcely meeting a thing of life or hearing a sound to disturb the Sabbath-li- e stillness of those quiet shores ; over the battle fields to Corinth to be swallowed up in that immense army of one hundred thousand men, then slowly and blunderingly on after the retreating foe. Together we will live over again the quiet summer days at Rienzi, and-alas! if we continue until memory fails to furnish an inspiring theme, we will have to establish a permanent camp here for the rest of the autumn.
Again I thank you for listening with the spirit of mar- tyrs, and if you will only tell me who at our last meeting suggested my name for this business I will cheerfully nominate him to deliver our next address.
After the oration II. S. Keene read the following Re- union Poem, by Miss Ella Haskell, of Lone Rock :
You meet again. brave soldiers. With oll friends, kind and true, Beneath the waving banner Of the grand red, white and blue ; You talk on days now passed and gone Of patriots brive an ! true. And of the year one gathered home Who fought so brave with you.
Before you comes the darkened walls Of a prison, loge and dream. And lipy so white with anguish With no senthey words to cheer. You see once more the brave one, His bright eyes sunkendun,
The check , of me irble winteness Where the health rose lately beamer.
And agan you see the Battle So full of dangerous strife,

POEM BY ELLA HASKELL.
Where many a one so nobie Has lost his precious life. Oh, if the Lord of battles Were not our strength and stay, Mothers and friends and children Where would you be to-day ?
You see the desolate homes The battle too has made, Before you comes the far off grave Where your comrade now is laid. At last the joyful meeting By God's own mercy wrought From many fields of danger The brave at last are brought.

4TH REUNION, AT RICHLAND CENTER, 1879.
The fourth annual reunion was held at Richland Center, June IIth and 12th, 1879, the boys going into camp on the night of the trth.
There were forty-eight of the Battery boys present, and the largest crowd of citizens th it had ever met with us. The annual oration was given by Sergeant A. J, Hood, and was followed by speeches from Gov. Smith, Gens. Reynolds, Bryant and Wilson, Col. J. G. Clark and Elder Loomis. The Battery boys effected a permanent organization and adopted a constitution.
The following are the officers for the ensuing year :
President, Capt. Henry Dillon.
Chaplain, Rev. Jenk LI. Jones.
Orderly Sergeant, M. Dziewanowski.
Secretary, O. J. Burnham.
Corresponding Secretary, H. S. Keene.
Executive Committee, H. S. Keene. W. T. Hayes and A. P. Clayton.
Publishing Committee same as last:
Sergeant A. J. Hood, the orator of the day was intro- duced, and although he had prepared an address, on ac- count of the many speakers being present, he occupied but a short time. We give a portion of his address :
Ladies and Gentlemen, and Fellow Soldiers of the late War :- When I was detailed to address you to-day, I was not aware there would be so many " big guns " here, but we soldiers feel like talking to his Excellency, the Governor of the State of Wisconsin as well as to our old comrades to-day. It brings fresh to our minds the days of '61, when we learned the rudiments of a soldier's du-

ties here in our own State, that long winter in Racine where we spent the days in drill, the evenings, when off duty, writing to our wives and the girls we left behind us. When finally orders came we went to the front (New Madrid) with its ruins, Island No. 10, with its booming guns, Ruddle's Point, with its rebel gunboats ; then the journey up the river to join Grant at Shiloh. Cairo, where some of the men went through the process of sobering off according to a new plan, as you may re- member ; but we passed the spring campaign to rest at Rienzi, where we had to drill before breakfast, and satisfy the Orderly at roll call in regard to absent friends by answering " over the hill." Then comes Corinth with its terrible battle, when we, with other Wisconsin sol- diers, won laurels that will be green in history as long as the State of Wisconsin stands. But we have no time to talk of how we whipped the rebs or wintered near Mem- phis, or to take you down to Yazoo Pass and show you the broken steamers among the trees or read the signs nailed to the trees by our boys. Then comes Miliken's Bend; the crossing in hot haste at Breimsburg amidst the roar of musketry ; the battles in rear of Vicksburgh, together with the siege. Then that grand old Fourth of July, when the Star Spangled Banner was raised over the rebel city. But we must now go and help our comrades at Chattanooga. When we think of all we have passed through together, is it to be wondered at that we love each other like brothers ? Those ties formed in the army are not easily broken. We have rejoiced and wept together ; we laid some of our comrades away in Southern graves ; we marched home as conquerors. Boys, we love one an- other, we love these reunions and are glad to see that the people of Richland do. Then there is that dear old flag we followed in the mud and storm. We stood side by side in its defense when our comrades fell dead at our fect; we have seen it advancing to assault the enemy's works when the color bearer would fall pierced to the heart, the flag shattered with traitor's lead, would be borne on up the hill over the ramparts to wave in vic-

tory. GOD BLESS THE OLD FLAG. (Applause.) I would say to the Governor, if traitors ever insult or try to de- stroy this Government, if he calls for us he will find us here. But if we must leave the plow in the field, lock up the store and the workshop to go and chastise those traitors again crinoline will not save their leaders. (Ap- plause.) We have those principles purchased by the blood of our forefathers at Bunker Hill in the war of a hundred years ago, nourished by their blood in 1812, again on the plains of Mexico, as well as our own in the late war. Let us teach these principles to our children, in- still them into their hearts so that when our work is done and we are called away to that other world those princi- ples and the old flag will be in safe keeping.
