The membership runs up to about 100 persons to say nothing of rat dogs and cats. They will take rat outings every Sunday and are supposed to kill all of the rats off of one premise every Sunday. All kinds of implements will be brought into use.

Florence, July uprising against the negro workmen on the government works at Riverton, caused a small riot at that place, and those ne- groes who can get away are leaving.

A negro attempted to assault Mrs. S. Vaughn. The neighborhood was aroused and chase was given to the negro, who took to the woods. The insolence of other negroes, several hundred in number, incensed the white workmen, and they determined to run the blacks out of town.

There were several fights between the negroes and whites, and one white man was seriously cut. The excitement was intense, and many negroes might have been killed had not counsel of cooler heads prevailed. The negro who caused the riot was captured. He has been identified by Mrs. Vaughn ar.d proves to be the same negro who cut a white man.

There will be a lynching. Riverton people are sending to neighboring towns for men, guns and ammunition. The most serious trouble is feared. Many negroes are leaving the town. Others are sullen and defiant.

ITS Recruited In the Forest Region, It Adopted a For Protecting; and In the Eagle Under 1SS7, by American Press YNONYMS of regiments -were generally arbitrary and meant nothing unless the soldiers gave them si gn if i- caiice by making the titles good upon the battlefield. Brigade" got its flaiuo by accident and kepc it be- cuuse it was a good fit. The "Ironsides," the Roundheads," tie "Ells-worth Avengers" gave a good account of themselves upon tho battlefield.

The term "Bucktails" was applied to the Thirteenth PeimsylvKnia reserves because the meu wore as badges of their origin a bucktail on their caps. Tho "Eagle" regiment, the Eighth Wisconsin, was so christened after it had adopted a live eagle as a protecting scgis for its valor. The Eighth wns organized in 1861 from companies many of which had their own nicknames. Company from Janesville, was known as the "JanesviUe Guard;" CompanyC, from Eac Claire, both as the "Ean Claire Eagles" and the "Eau Claire Sadgers," and then there were the "Fox Lake Rifles," the "Sugar River Rifles" and the "Rough and Ready Guards" from Fitchbnrg. Tbe "Eagle," celebrated in history as "Old Abe," was recruited by Company "Ean Claire Badgers." The first hard fighting of the Eighth -was at Corinth, Miss.

There it was in the defenses for Battery Robinett. The battle at that point, on the 8d and 4th of October, 1862, was fierce in the extreme, and the regiment lost 21 killed and 83 The young commander, Colonel Q. W. Robbins, was among the wounded. Captain William J.

Dawer of Company Eighth regiment, wounded Oct. 3 in this battle, gives the following incident showing the part played by "Old Abe" in battle: "Generals Price and Van Dorn were driving us toward Corinth, while we, under Rosecrans, were making a stubborn resistance, contesting every inch of our retreat. The object of oar general wag to tole them under the big siege guns of Fort Robinett and Williams. By a den movement of the enemy they got an enfilading fire npon our regiment which was exceedingly destructive. Of 86 men which I took in I lost 14 killed and wcnnded, and other companies lost in like proportion.

Our field officers were all wounded. The general commanding the brigade, General Mower, had his horse killed the moment I fell, and his adjutant general, Temple Clark, was shot through the body. The same Tolley that did this mischief cut the cord of 'Old who sat on his perch viewing this scene, and he slowly raised iimself on hie broad pinions and floated off over the rebel lines till I lost sight cf him. I was gathered up in a blanket and carried from the field, hardly knowing which most to deplore, our defeat, my own disaster or the loss of our guardian segis. Our broken regiment now fell back and passed me as I was carried slowly along, and as the colors of tho regiment swept by I raised my head to salute them, and there in his proper place eat our bird, having returned from his rcconnoissance and takea his own stand.

What joy thrilled my heart! Aud it was a sure oraen of the terriblo slaughter made among the rebels the nest; day, completely destroying their army. Our eagle usually accompanied us on the bloody field, and I heard prisoners any they wonM have given more to capture the eagle of the Eighth Wisconsin than to take a whole meih" Many sharp skirmishes, some of them battles, fell to the lot of the Eighth in the war along the Mississippi before the great contest opened at Vicksbnrg. It took part in the desperate charges of the 19th and 21st of May. At one time during a scarcity of supplies these soldiers subsisted 16 days upon the allowance of four days' rations. They were chiefly employed there aa sharpshooters.

After Berving three years and re-enlisting, the regiment took part in the heavy battle at Nashville. Upon its banner was in- Boribed at the close of the war 20 engagements and 18 skirmishes. It campaigned in 11 different states and traveled over 15,000 miles. The fortunes of the regiment and its remarkable bird were so elosely identified in campaign, battle and siege that a sketch of its career would be incomplete without the full story of "Old Abe." A Chippewa Indian named Chief Sky captured the eagle on Flambeau river in the spring of 1861, and some cf the Indians traded him upon one of their expeditions for a bushel of corn. His purchaser offered to sell him to the First Wisconsin.

That offer was declined, but next attempt was more successful, for some resident of Eau Claire bought the young eagle and presented him to Company In due time he was sworn Into the service cot the United States by putting around his neck red, white and bine ribbons and on his breast a rosette of the same colors. The firat time the regiment was in line in camp the eagle had his perch top cf the flagstaff. Tbe band Struck up "Yankee Doodle," and the Mixed one end of the jfUg in hii beak and tpread nritba flapping motion, a iort of spon- RHMOQB acceptance of hii rrviqion. Claire Badgeti" then changed theti name to the "Ean Claire Eagles," and the regiment adopted the title, the "Eagle" regiment. A perch was constructed for the eagle in the shape of a shield.

Upon the shield was a crossed bar, for the eagle's resting place, and on each, end of it were three arrows pointing; outward, as in the groat seal of the United States. This shield was provided with a staff and carried by a soldier like the battleflag and was always borne on the left of the regimental colors. Tbe' 'Ean Claire Eagles'' formed the color company. As a matter of course tho eagle received a great deal of attention, and endless rhapsodies were made over him in newspaper puffs and in speeches, but he was worthy of it all, for he went through every battle of the regiment, suffered hunger and wounds, flapped bis wings over many a small victory and over the great ODO at tho end. In the history of tbo regiment tbero is a description of him in tho charge at Vicksburg, and that is an example of how ho bore himself iu every buttlo.

Writing of the iiion in their grand rush forward, with "Old Abo" in the lead, the historian says: "One hours' walking over heaps of accumulating dead imd dying, and yet they struggle on. They reach the ditch. They PUSH it. They scale tho ramparts. They pJunt tbcro the Union flag.

A shout goes up, hut in an instant it is hushud in the throttle of death, when fresh troops come on to swell the slaughter, and yet the main works of those southerners, so worthy of our steel, yield not an inch. "Meanwhile the eagle clinched his claws fast to the grooves of his perch, and, standing under the proud colors, bent his head soldierlike on a listening angle, bis fierce eyes reflecting the glare of the battle, hfs wings outstretched, hia voice beard, as oft before, cheering his compatriots to the shock for conquest. In the general wildness and confusion Homaston, the eagle bearer, rushing to keep at the head of the company, central in the regiment, accidentally stepped on a slippery cauebrake and fell, when, in an instant, the eagle, shocked doubtless by a bullet that glanced with a quivering pressure on his breast, mounted up with a desperate spring for a flight, but the bearer held fast to the perch, while at the other end of the cord, having gained great speed, lifted him from the ground, dragging him forward with such an impetus £hat it brought him abreast against a rough log, jerking back the bird and hurling them both together into the brush on the other side. The blow stunned Homaston and 'nearly knocked the breath from his for he lay there apparently dead for a few minutes. hether we call it Providence or not, that eagle's flight saved the life of his bearer.

"Had he not fallen at that instant, the well aimed shot of the enemy at those conspicuous standards pouring right there in the waves of fire would have killed Homaston and thrown the com pany into confusion. Lieutenant Thomas B. Bntler, gallantly commanding.had in the outset given Sergeant Adolph Pitwch special instruction to 'watch the fate of and if he got wounded or killed, sure and secure the Seeing him fall and noting the few moments of suspense, the sergeant rushed toward him just as he revived, and finding him not killed returned to his duty, "Placing the eagle upon his perch again, Homaston hurried forward to his post on the left of the regimental colors, borne by Sergeant Myron Briggs, and with him Lieutenant Butler and others (itood under a large tree in front and in plain sight of the rebel batteries not JOO rods distant. Evidently espying the eagle and colors, the rebels poured a special fire of grape upon the daring group and sent a well aimed shell, which, hitting the top of the tree, cut it off, crashing to the ground. It burst with a horrid scattering, the pieces of "THEKE IN HIS PROPER PLACE." which tore many boles in the flag and killed several, among whom were Lieutenant W.

D. Chapman of Company and Captain Stephen Estee of Company Tho eagle sprang for a flight again, bnt was held fast, and both be and his bearer escaped unharmed." The eagle "Old Abe" was a celebrated feature of veteran gatherings, fairs and reunions for many years after the war. The sale of photographs of him netted $20,000. He died in March, 1881, from the effects of partial suffocation some time before during a fire in his qnartejre in the capital building at Madison. GEOBGE L.
