sent ter the same purpose to volunteer
regiments. 1-,-, s'
The men who were assigned to 'the
regulars, according to a communication
sent to the editor of The Journal by
J. M. . Wilson of 125 V, Russell street,
had no thought but that with the end
of the war they would be allowed to
return to their homes. . j
Maay of them," writes Mr. Wilson,
"believing-it an Injustice that they be
retained and made professional sol
diers, after the war had closed, re
turned to their homes. Most of these
men had seen upwards of a year , of
Strenuous campaigning. Some , bore
wounds received In the service and yet
have no discharge papers." j
. Mr. Wilson : himself, he writes,'

lar cavalry since the Civil war, par

"Deserted After War." ', -
Mr. Wilson's letter- to The Journt
was prompted by a paragraph in one
of The Journal's accounts of the pio
neers' reunion last, week, referring to
J. C Coakley, who lives in the .Sunny
slde distHct, Portland, and who will be
90 August 15. He enlisted in the regu-f"
lar army In his native state of Penn
sylvania in 1855and coming, to Ore
gon as a soldier, fought against the
Flatheads in the Puget sound country.
Mr. Coakley told The Journal that
h doesn't get a pension, whimsically
adding, that he "deserted after the war
was over.' -,-'
Mr. Coakley was wounded In i the
wrist, which is stiff and scarred where
a soft bullet tore through.
Mr. Wilson suggests an amendment
to the act of congress which provided
that the charge of desertion be re
moved from the records of all volun
teers ; who remained with their - com
mand until May 1, 1865, so that those
men who enlisted as "Volunteers, but
were placed in seryice as regulars, and
left their commands for their homes
at the close of the,: war, may have a
clear record. ; :
In his letter to The Journal he says:
Assigned to Begnlar Keglments.
i-Trarlng the Civil wa-, 1861-5, the
regular army of the United States was
Increased by about, 20,000 men Owing t

ously In vogue .many of these regular
organizations had not, at - the ending
of the war, secured their full comple
ment of men. At the"time of President
Lincoln's last call for Volunteers In
1864, there being no new regiments,
many - volunteers responding to ; that
call, were as a matter of convenience
assigned to regiments In the regular
service, the form and term of enlist
ment being alike for all service, three
years or during war. - - p -
' "The southern cause - at this ! time
was considered hopeless and those re

their services would not be of

THE LINCHPIN WAGON

Song written- for the annual reunion
of Oregon Pioneers by Carson. C Mas
iker, 1858, of Hood River.
-Tune "Wait for th Wagon.
Oh, the linchpin wagon .
What memories It recalls
Of th day when I gased -
On the mountains afar.
As it ground through the sand ,
And the alkali dust
The linchpin wagon
With its bucket of tar.
'- Chorus
Wait for the wagon -
The. linchpin wagon,
The linchpin wagon
With its bucket of tar..
How the smell of that tar
In my nostrils stiu lingers;'
How softly, yet firmly.
It stuck to my fingers;
How Jolting that wagon;
How tiresome its jar
That linchpin wagon
With its bucket of tar.
Chorus -, - - '
When the hot sun beat down
On the glittering sand.
And the dust fogd around us
On every hand, . ;
How the heat seemed to gather
In every bar
Of that linchpin wagon
r With ita bucket of tar.
Chorus ..
When the red men attack'd us
And fired on the train.
It made us a breastwork
Again and again.
T was a bedroom at night
And a refuge' In war
That linchpin wagon
With Its bucket of tar.
Chorus--A
couch for the sick.
The halt and the lame
It carried our grub
And blankets and game.
Our women and children
It brought from afar.
That linchpin wagon
With its bucket of tar.
Chorus
The bed of this wagon
- A ferryboat made.
In the heat of the day 1
It was sought for its shade;

By an "auto'bile1 car

And always will love it. '

of 5 the volunteer regiments wer at
one disbanded, but a few, much to
their disgust, were retained till their
patience was exhausted, and quit a
number returned to their homes with'
ut the formality of a discbarge. Con
gress has since passed an act removing
the .charge of desertion from the rec
ords of all volunteers - who remained
with their commands till May 1, 1865.
The act -applied to . volunteers, only.
although the whole army at that time
might properly have been classed as
a volunteer army. '
Tw Would B Affected.
To amend that act to Include all
soldiers of the Civil war would affect
a very few. and principally those re
spondlng to that last call, aa the terms
of : those previously enlisting ' would
would have more nearly expired.- A
conscript measure had - been enacted,
every precinct in the land bad its per
centage of men to .furnish, and those
old men, leaving their fields and shops,
and the very many, mere boys who re
sponded to that call, were all credited
as part of the quota of the respective
districts from- which they enlisted.
"In many cases their enlistment pa
pers were executed by a local magis
trate, and the: men turned over to he
nearest military rendesvous, some be
ing assigned to depleted volunteer reg
iments, and others to fill the ranks
of regular regiments., These latter men
Inadvertently or by noact of, their
own were thus placed In organizations
of. the regular- arniy,- - fv-i.
"it would bnly 'b an act of delayed
justice to amend that act so that these
few nqjp aged men should have a
Certificate of honorable service to that
war. v: ;: - , -:v:: r. ... - ;
-- ... . - - . .. .. .... ...
- ""As further evidence that these men
considered, that they were enlisted for
the war only, and would not be longer
retained, I recall the following inci
dent at that time: '-. " ; -- -End
