Addison Advertiser – October 7, 1863
On Saturday, the 10th inst.,
there is to be a match between Grey Squirrels and Splinters, on the Hornellsville
track, for $100.
The friends of Hon. Charles Cook, of Havana, will be glad to learn that he
is recovering from his recent severe attack of sickness.
NEW GOODS – J. V. Graham has received his New Goods from the City, and
if you want to buy at reasonable rates, just give him a call.
Dr. P. K. Stoddard of Prattsburgh, has been appointed Assistant Surgeon of
the 161st Regiment and expects soon to join the Regiment.
–Courier
CONFIRMED – At the visit of Bishop DeLancey, to the "Church of the Redeemer"
of this village, on Monday last, four persons were confirmed as members of
that church.
IMPROVEMENT – We notice that Mr. Wm. H. Mannors is making improvements
on his Store in this village, by a few coats of paint, which add greatly
to its appearance.
MORE VOLUNTEERS – Capt. Sanford left this place on Friday last with
a numbers of Volunteers for his Company. We believe he now has enough men
in his company to fully organize it. We shall, as soon as we can, give the
names of his entire Company and their residences.
COUNTY FAIR – We learn that the County Fair of this County, was a most
decided success this year. The Committee took special pains to distribute
the premiums fairly throughout the County in a manner calculated to induce
the citizens of the county to make efforts to produce articles which may
be taken to the Fair hereafter, and placed on exhibition for competition.
MEAT MARKET – Kinne's Meat Market is now in prime running order, and
he intends keeping on hand and excellent article of Sausage, which will be
very pallatable. Speaking of extra weight, Mr. Kinne, last Saturday, slaughtered
two calves between three and four months old, the meat, hide, and tallow
of which weighed over 500 pounds. These Calves were raised by Mr. Harvey
Burgett of Rathboneville.
STAMP DUTIES – We are indebted to J. C. Van Orsdale, Esq., Assistant
U. S. Assessor, for a copy of "Palmer's List of Stamp Duties," which upon
examination, we find to be a very full and conveniently arranged table of
all stamp duties required by the revenue act. It has all needed explanatory
instructions. It is more complete and satisfactory than any we have yet
seen.
MARRIED
In this village, Sept. 25, 1863, by Rev. L.C. Wariner, Mr. GEORGE FERBOW,
of Alexandria, Va, and Miss ANNIE STEPHENS, daughter of Jacob Stephens, of
Addison, Steuben Co., N.Y.
DIED
In Bath, the 23rd ??, Mrs. CATHERINE SHERWOOD, of Woodhull, aged 70 years.
She was the mother of Hon. Henry Sherwood of Corning.
Addison Advertiser – October 21, 1863
Soldiers, see to your own health, and do not trust to the Army supplies;
Cholera, Fever and Bowel complaint will follow your slightest indiscretion
– HOLLOWAY"S PILLS AND OINTMENT should be in every soldier's knapsack.
The British and French troops use no other medications. – Only 25 cents
per box or pot.
The Dickenson House – This excellent Hotel, under the management
of its superior Landlord Major Fields, still maintains its reputation as
a first class House, and will continue to do so as long as the Major holds
the reins of government in it. If you want to have a good meal and sleep
soundly (with a snore in the bargain) Just call on the Major, if you make
a stay in Corning. We have been there and tried it, and not found anything
wanting to convince us.
The Park Hotel, at Bath – This Hotel, situated in Bath, on the
south east corner of the Park, is one of the best houses to stop at in Western
New York. Mr. Smith, the gentlemanly proprietor, has been to considerable
expense in finishing and furnishing the House, and he has now everything
so neatly arranged and in such order, that he can do excellent justice to
his guests. Reader, if you ever visit Bath, give the Park Hotel's call, where's
a good meal is provided and everything else for your comfort.

Capt. Sanford's Company are members, has been ordered to New York. Capt.
Sanford's Company letter is G, and the commissioned officers are, Captain,
Henry W. Sanford; 1st Lieutant, Melville S. Dunn; 2nd Lieutenant, Mason Gibson.
These men have all been in the service and will make excellent officers.

Circular
Nos. 73 & 105 Trinity Buildings, New York
September 28, 1863
To the Union County Committees:
The Union State Committee, feeling the importance of harmony, system and
energy in the action of Union men in the pending campaign, recommend that
School District Meetings be commenced without delay in every county in the
State, that these meetings be addressed by our best local speakers, that
these meetings be continued until the election.
The county Committee should, within the next week or ten days, decide at
what one or two points in each county they declare large meetings, and advise
the State Committee, who, by that time, will have a speaking force sufficiently
large to accommodate such meetings.
Where we are expected to provide speakers, it will be required that the time
for holding them be left to our appointment.
All changes in local committees should be at once reported to the State
Committee.
It is specially urged that the Union Press throughout the State publish this
Circular for the information of local organizations.

Godey's Lady Book, for November, is upon our table, and is an excellent number. If any lady wishes to engage a few hours pleasantly, she should subscribe for the Lady's Book, and she will find enjoyment in looking each number through carefully.
The 141st Regiment is stationed, for the present, in the north western part of Georgia, where the Railroad crosses the Tennessee river, and at the corners of three states.

The Typographic Art - We have received from the publisher, J. G. COULEY. No. 1, Spruce st, New York, the first number of this beautiful work. Mr. COOLEY is doing wonders for the ART, and this work is truly a work of beauty, and should be liberally patronized by the trade.

From the 2d Veteran Cavalry
The following letter, written
to us by the late lamented M. S. Dunn, was received by us almost simultaneous
with the sad news of his death. Beloved and respected by all our citizens,
this letter will be read with mournful interest by all. Bearing date just
one week prior to his death, it was probably nearly or quite the last ever
penned by him. He had nobly fought on a score of battle fields, and fell
at Campti, La while bravely leading his veteran band. He has led his last
charge, has fought his last battle; his memory will ever remain green on
the hearts of those who knew him best.
Headquarters 2d Vet. Cav, N.Y. Vets
Near Alexandria, La. March 27, 1864
Thinking that you would like
to hear from us, and learn something about our whereabouts, I take time to
write you a few words. I shall tell you what we have been doing of late,
and what we hope to do soon.
In the afternoon of the
6th inst., we received orders
for that part of our regiment that were mounted to pack up, cross the Mississippi
to Algiers – a village on the west bank – and take cars for Brashear
City, distance 80 miles. The eight companies were all across the river before
dark, but could not get transportation until the next morning. We bivouacked
over night – early next morning loaded out horses, and after a long
delay the train started. We arrived at Brashear City daylight next day; -
it is very slow business moving cavalry on the cars.
We laid two days at this
place, when our brigade marched to Franklin – 28 miles – and joined
the cavalry division commanded by Gen. Lee – not "Bob," but Brig.-Gen.Lee,
one of the most dashing cavalry officers we have in our service. On the 14th,
the whole of the cavalry force commenced to march to this place. Before
proceeding many miles we found the enemy in small force, who fell back without
any fighting. The country through which we marched was the most beautiful
I ever saw – level as a floor – the road running along the bank
of the "Bayou Teche," one of the many streams designed by nature to enrich
the soil, and this one of the most beautiful wealthies of the Southern states.
By the means of these streams the Planter can run his flat-boat up to his
very door, and load his cotton, sugar, etc., and transport it to market without
any expense, comparitively. When the war closes, and the country once more
is settled, the thousands of northern men who will surely come South to find
a home, will make this "Teche country" the garden of America. I have not
seen a hill in the State between here and New Orleans.
We arrived here on Saturday,
the 19th, after a very arduous march. We bivouaced over Sunday on the plantation
of Gov. Morse, who fled with the enemy upon our approach. Monday morning
our Colonel received an order for our regiment to go with a force of infantry
and cavalry that was going up the Red River 28 miles, to a place known as
Henderson Hill, where it was thought that the enemy would make a stand. We
did not get the order until 10 o"clock A.M., when we ought to have had it
and been started at 3 o'clock in the morning; we were seven hours behind;
our camp was seven miles below town. We rode the 32 miles, to overtake the
main force, in four hours and a half. We reached them about three miles below
the Hill, with the advance engaged with the enemy. We were ordered immediately
to the front, where we stayed all night: about 10 o'clock P.M. we received
orders to hard press the enemy's front as a force had gone around their right
flank to make an attack in the rear. As good luck was on our side, a courier
from Col. Vincent, who was in command of the Rebels, went into the midst
of our force that was coming up on their rear. He mistook our troops for
Gen. Taylor's who were expected up with re-inforcements. He gave Gen. Morrer,
who was in command, the countersign, and showing him the road into the rebel
camp, and the first suspicions the enemy had of his approach was on being
taken prisoners. They then scattered and run, and many got away; but we got
four pieces of fine artillery, 300 prisoners, and 350 horses.During all the
march, and in time of the fight, there was a cold rain falling, and the mud
was quite bad for everyone. – The next morning we scouted the country
until noon, then started back to our camp, where we arrived about midnight,
both men and horses nearly worn out. – We marched, in the two days,
ninety miles, without taking the saddles from our horses. Since our arrival
back to this camp we have been resting for the long march we are to commence
to-morrow. The next point that we shall strike for will be Shreveport, 180
miles above here. There I suppose we shall have a fight. There is a large
fleet of steamboats in the river; they are going along to clear out the ????
that it is said the enemy have up the river.
The 161st N. Y. Volunteers
is near us. I was over to the camp last night, found everybody looking fine
after the march from Franklin, which they made in ten days.
The health of our regiment
is very good. We have been called upon to mourn the loss of one of our number
– Sergeant D. M. Lemunyan, from Tuscarora. We were obliged to leave
"Milo" in the hospital when we left New Orleans. He was sick with the Chronic
Diarrhea; he died the 8th inst. Milo was a good soldier; he had for two years
faithfully served his country in Co. E 34th N. Y. Reg't. We have lost a kind
friend and comrade – the country one of her best and most efficient
defenders. – His friends have the sympathy of the entire company.
We have just received orders
to march at five in the morning.
Yours truly, M. S. D.
Letter from Capt. Sanford
We are permitted to publish
the following letter from Capt. Sanford, Co. G, 2d Veteran N. Y. Cavalry,
to Mr. Dunn, of this place, in relation to the death of Lieut. M. S. Dunn:
Camp Near Nachitoches, La.
April 5th, 1864
Mr. DUNN: - It is with a sad heart that I attempt to inform you of the loss
you have sustained in the death of your son Lieut. M. S. Dunn, who fell,
while gallantly and bravely leading his men in charge on the enemy, yesterday,
April 4th. He was at his post, at the side of Col. Chrysler, when the messenger
came. The Colonel said but a few days since that he could not possible spare
Lieut. Dunn. I wished to have him with me, but he needed him as Adjutant.
He was the first to fall
in the 2d Vet. Cavalry. But a part of the regiment was engaged in the conflict
where he met his death. My company was ordered out the day before on a scout,
toward the Texas line, and when I was starting out, just at daybreak, Lieut.
Dunn came to me, and said he would like to go out with me, and we parted
with a cordial good-bye, both thinking that I was going to meet the foe,
while he was to remain in camp with the reg't. I was out with my company
two days, pursuing the rebels, and at times almost upon straggling bands
of them, but returned to camp last night, tired and sore, without having
had a fight, and taking but one prisoner, to learn that the reg't had been
ordered across the river, and that Lieut. Dunn had been killed. – When
the fact became known to Co. G, there was great and deep sorrow expressed,
and much sympathy with his bereaved friends at home, and a determination
to avenge his death.. He was greatly endeared to the officers and men of
our regiment. He was ever temperate, honest, and capable, a true patriot,
and a brave soldier; and if anything can console his friends for his loss,
it must be the unstained record he has left. My own feelings for him were
those of a brother. We have been so much together and such strong friends,
that he seemed next to my wife and child in my affection. I was proud of
him as an associate and friend, and with you mourn his loss.

DEATH OF LIEUT. M. S. DUNN – It is with feeling of sorrow, we this week
record the death of Lieut. M. S. Dunn, of Co. G., 2d. Vet. N. Y. Cavalry,
who fell while leading his men at the late battle of Campti, La. Lieut. Dunn
was a resident of this place, and when war broke out, he enlisted as a private,
with Capt. Baldwin, in the 34th, N. Y. Regiment, and won many laurels by
his undaunted bravery, rising from the ranks to the position of 1st Lieut.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, in speaking of our troops being
thrown into confusion makes the following mention of him:
"It was at this point, that
Adjutant DUNN, while gallantly leading on his men, fell mortally wounded,
a bullet piercing his head. Few lives have fallen at the hands of the merciless
foe during this war, that will be more universally lamented, than warm noble,
generous-hearted Adjutant DUNN, the pride of his regiment."
Lieut. DUNN, was acting Adjutant
of the regiment at the time of his death. – He leaves many warm friends
who deeply mourn his loss.
