Oh Fortress Monroe, July IL, 1904. !
EDITOR FREEMAN While we are being car
ried smoothly over the PLACID waters of the Ches-
apeake, this beautiful morning, will sketch
you hasty account Of this sudden change in the
programme Of our operations, 1t isa leasant
relief from our rough campaign to take boat
ride up the Chesapeake Bay, though being
crowded together as soldiers generally are on
these transports, 1t is difficult to realize the tull
efFec'. But petched upon the upper deck with
cool western breeze to fan away the heat,
watching the bargts and transports of sl descrip.
ton, as We meet and pass them, or the distant
shore covered with its forests OF pine, with now
and then neat white cottage peering out from
Its beautiful retreat, as one gazes upon the
calm, quiet waters, spread out in panorama be'
fore him, be would think the loyeliness of nature
itself was sufficient to reproye men OF their wick
edness, and make them ashamed OF treason and
war. But at the present moment we are only
leaving one scene Of strife and hurrying forward
to another.
We received orders at ten Saturday night,
to break camp and be ready to march. We were
not entirely ignorant of where we were going
Two days before we had had orders to hold our.
selves in readiness to move. The Third Division
Of our corps was reported to have gone to City
Point to be transported from there to Washing
ton aud rumors were strong that we should fol.
low. Maryland was again invaded and the old
soldiers were needed to drive the invaders back.
But as nothing more was said about the matter
we boys began - consider that the OCCASION for
it had passed, and that we shouldn't have tC
leave our camp after all.
That very afternoon we commenced improve
ments IN our camp, arranging our streets aud
raising our beds from the ground and we had
Just laid down and were comfortably at sleep
when the order came to pack up aud march
Not word of murmuriug was heard as We pre-
pared as quickly as possible for an all nights
march. IL would have suited us Of course, tC
have remained there on the reserve and rested
awhile though we know that it was expecting
too much IN times like these, aud when 1t wa
known tina, ,he enemy was making an invasion
to the nor,h, despoiling the country and robbins
our citizens, we were not unwilling to march Il
the rescue, though we regretted thet II should b
necessary. IL was but natural, however. Wit

The Sisters.

They were two sisters, one was fair,
with yellow ighs in her wayy hair
The other as dark, and in her eyes
Lurked the sulIry fire o. southern'skie'.
they both had lands, these sisters two,
Broad in extent and fair to view

And rivers which flowed to greet the main
The fields OF tre one with wheat and corn

is the last process beIUre trimming. The work
is done by women, the machines being worked
with treade. The figures are placed in the
edges OF six disks, placed side by side and. fasten.
ed to an arm worked by the treadle, something
machine. The disks are turned by ratchet, and
will number from one to g99,999. For consecu.
tive numbering, a little hook Is attached to the
ratchet, and the machine shifts itself. Otherwise
the disks are turned by the number.
THE TRIMMING AND CUTTING
was formerly done by hand, and Of course very
iu perfectly and laboriously. There were two
things to be overcome in cutting by machinery
the uequility OF the registry aud the shrinkage.

FEMALE AFRICANS STILL on TIE Now.
During the past week, says the Ovens

more negro women have left this region

aud board, actually taking bed, table
and sandry household goods, whose
removal would require a land craft or
icafer Uehicte of larger proportions than
an Ethiopians's shoulders, whether mas

GREAT ExeiTMEEsT AT HExDERsos-
A FlGsT REPORTED IN PEoGREss-HE-
GIaa o. CITIzEss--A courier arrived in
this city yesterday from Henderson ad-
yising The gunboats and the military au-
thorities that the place was attacked BY
the rebels, Yariously estimated at from
$50 to 100, and that fighting was then go
ing on.
The news created some excitement in
the city, and the gunboass Immediately
got up steam and left for Henderson.
AS the guerrilla organ in this city took
the precaption to inform its friends en-
the other side Of the river Of the pur-
pose Of the Federal troops who went
to Henderson on Wednesday night to
shoot two guerrilla prisoners in rstallis.
ton for the murder Of Union man in
Henderson county, the guerrillas had
early notice Of the contemplated execu-
ton, aud prepared to prevent it.
= Ia the meantime certain distinguished
citizens Of Henderson made great exer-
tons to preveat the execution, and,
whether through their influence or not,
certain It is that message was received
from Gen. Ewing's headquarters post
poning the execution.
The citizens Of Henderson being APP
prised Of apprehended hostilities,. left
the city in large numbers, the HAlleck
being literally crowded full, aad others
leaving 10 buggies and whatever convey
=. ances they eonld secure.
When the Halleck left the gusrrillas
were reported within | miles of the
town.
Persons who left later report that the
guerrillas were in the city and that the
Federal troops were drawn up in line Of
battle around the Court House awaiting
an attack.
There was evidently great scare il
not great danger, but the timely arrival
of the gunboats would save the Federal
troops from any disaster, and If the city
is attacked BY guerrilIas We shall not be
surprised TO learn that it has suffered
some FROG, the shells of our gunboatG
We have information which NO deem
it impolitic to publish that there is a fair
prospect Of the guerrillas in that part Of
Kentucky getting more fghs than they
have stomaehs for, though they may be
advised Of their danger by their organ
in this city in time to shun the dan
ger by prseipitate fight.
We await further Rdviees from Hen.
derson with much solieitude.

rived on the Miami last night we learn
that the gunboat Brilliant was Smelling

not expected that Capt Perkins will do
: the town much damage whether the
guerrillas are there or not We are
sorry Commander Fitch is not there in
