Waynesborough. Guards we've

men were stationed at the frort
door, and it was half an hour or so
before any stir in or around the
house gave token that it was inhab-
tied. Then the widow limped to
the door on a crutch and called one
of the guards to her and asked:

There Be Two Pious Men.

Cincinnati Commercial SPECIAL.
WASHINGTON. June l2.--Gensral
Garfield IS member Of the Chris
tian church. ordinarily called the
Camlbelrle church, after It's foun-
der, Alexander Campbell. This
denomination is quite large and
powerful ia the south and vest,
and as they are somewhat clannish,
it is said that the republican MONT
nee will get n great many votes
from he chlrch merI ber-hip, be-
cause he is a m-mher Of this or
ganizution. In West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee, the de
nomination is very strong, and
members OF congress from those
slaies say that Ga field will un-
doubleday get large numbers Of
votes among men who do not be
long particularly TO one party or
the other, but vote for q member
Of their church rather than against
him.
Judge Key has already received
several notes from the mountains
of Tennessee, asking him what
church Ca field belongs to, and IL IL
is true that he is a Campbellite.
1t is thought that the ticket will
be stl ong with the religious Gle
ment, as both Garfield aud Arthur
are church members and temper
ance men. and both come from
deeply religious families, and one
IS the son OF clergyman. IL IL Is
true that Garfield's middle name Is

they both have biblical names, To-
wit, Abraham and Absalom, AR

GENERAL FORREST.
Stories Of the Great American Ma
poleon.

General Forrest is the brightest
military genius that this war has
produced on either side, if we are
to Judge him by the rule of accom-
plishihg the largest results with the
least material"
Thus spoke Gen. Joseph E. john
ston, that royal soldier and exqui
site critic of soldering. to this
writer on one occasion during the
late war 1t was a strong compli-
ment from high source He went
on to demonstrate the statement
from Forests marvellous career.
He showed that no officer had won
such victories with such dispropor-
toned and meagre resources. No
general had been able to use his
forces so successfully. He con-
stantly achieved triumphs utterly
out OF all reason, in view of his
means of achievement. His sue
cesses savored of the miraculous.
They were many of them attempted
and accomplished against odds that
would have paralyzed the energies
OF ordinary men.
Gen. Johnston illustrated his
criticism by instancing Forests
daring pursuit and capture of
Streight's expedition of seventeen
hundred men with force of six
hundred; his mastery defeat of the
Guerson raid of seven thousand
finely appointed soldiers witch thir-
ty-five hundred inexperienced
troops, and his humiliation of Stur-
giss' superb army of nine thousand
splendid forces with a command OF
less than three thousand, most of
them recruits. An examination of
Forests extraordinary aAd bril-
liant and exceptionally successful
career, a:tests the correctness of
Johnston's high estimate of For
rests capacity.
He was born leader of men, and
he used all the authority that he
could. His imperious nature as
serted itself in everything, and over
every one. General Wharton told
the writer that in the famous little
affair at McMinnvi lie, when Forrest
first drew attention to himself by
one of the most dashing affairs OF
the war, he was really the ranking
colonel in the fight, as he afterward
found out that Forrest deliberately
assumed to be the senior officer, en-
titled to the command. Forrest
was not fitted for a subordinate.
Conscious of superior capacity,
thoroughly informed, having clear
conceptions of his own of what
ought TO be done, unframed to ODE
dience, direc. In his methods, and
daring and decisive in his nature,
Forrest fretted under control, and
came nearer having his own way
than any man OF that revolution.
Having no military education, he
lacked training in the habits of sol
dierly subordination. But no man
ever exacted stricter obedience or
more thoroughly maintained it. He
brooked no dIsobedience of his own
orders, and he resented their infrac-
tion with characteristic fire.
