Hoods charge across the Frank-

the Harpeth.

W. &. Cunningham in Philadelphia Times.
We had pressed the enemy for miles
upon miles, and at last had them in a
trap with river in their rear. at the
sound of gun in eur center, which
was the signal, our movement began
officers, both field and staff and line,
in their assigned places by Hoods or
der, leading, For some distance We
moved down the line of battle, the
bands enlivening the martial scene.
Grandly the whole line swept forward,
and. clearing our front Of thin line
of battle of the enemy, we, for the
first time, caught glimpse OF what
was in our front. A single glance
was sufficient to understand the whole
scene and position. From right to
left. in a semi. circle, the enemy were
intrenched behind massive fortihca-
lions. with head logs and abattis,
making a line one and a half mile in
length. each flank resting on the river.
Hoods army moved forward 10 splen
did order, every brigade, regiment
and company led by its commander.
Across a broad plain of half a mile,
with no impeachment to obscure d.
rect aim, onward we moved, and as
Loring pressed forward on the right,
a wild yell awoke the echoes of Hsr-
peth. which, lingering, was caught up
by Cleburne and Brown and renewed
itself on the left as Bates men replied
in thunderous chorus. Our mon
passed straight ahead, the line un-
broken by the murderous fire OF artil-
lery. which swept the earth.
"They went as winds go when forests are
They went as waves 50 when .naviss are
stranded.
The fire of the enemy was terrific
officers and men went down in great
rows. Loring suFged at the bluff and
hedge, and fell back Immediately under
the parapet. Mortal men could not
pass that hedge. Cleburne and Brown
had swept like a wave and carried all
in front. Adams, Gordon and Stahl
held the works in the center. The
firing was intense. but no artillery on
our side helped the din of the battle,
Night was approaching Cleburne,
Stahl. Gist, Carter and Cranberry
were dead, while field and line officers
was dotteu BY the dead and wounded.
Still, the remnants of Stahl and Cor
don held the works in pure despers-
ton. 1t was certain death to retreat
across that plain, and equally as bad
to remain. The men fought doggedly
acress the works without officers, and
with no light save the lurid glare of
the enemy s artillery, which seemed to
scar the eye-balls.
The battle Of Franklin had been
fought and the Federal army had
escaped. We held the field, but At
what a tremendous cost. six generals
and ever one hundred field o-nesrs lay
there as the result. Our loss was
tremendous for the length Of tine We
were ENGAGED. Our dead and wounded
were never numbsred-CorpOrsls con-

The Preaeher For one Times.

hhOANhio AliDuuSs
There is no public man whose duty
is more imperative to keep abreast Of
the times than the minister of the
Gospel. He sustains the same rela-
ton to the speaking world that the
printing press does to the reading
world. And if the press is outstrip-
ping the pulpit in supplying the de-
mands Of the times it is because the
editor is more enterprising and alert
than the preacher. And if this is
true, it ought not to be, for if any sub
ject has in it an element calculated to
make men better or worse, the preach
er is the first man whose duty it is to
see it and probe to the bottom Of it,
And he is not faithful Waterman on
the walls if he does not see afar off the
approach Of danger or relief. True he
ought never to tire listening to the
voice Of God in the past history Of the
world; but bis province does not stop
there. He must distinguish the voice
of God in the small and great human
events Of the day. The effete platitudes
of past ages, however efficient they
may have been in their day and gener
alton, will never again hold the at
tention Of the masses and inspire them
to lofty moral endeavor. These are
new times, and we are a new people
and. while We cherish the lesson o.
our predecessors, yet we are
environed by new condition.
and new demands. The prin
ciples of truth must be adjusted tC
these with new vigor aud new life. Tit
wonderful success Of aChrist as
preacher is seen in the fact that HI
| forsook the old beaten ruts OF His pre-
decessors and contemporaries, and
using their revelations and discov
cries for what they we're worth, II
blazed out new and living way. h
flung their dead issues to the wind

friends often wondered for what pur-
nose he was saving. The idea Of
founding a law library only came to
him few years ago, but it is oonjec-
tured that he always meant to leave
his money to charitable Institutions.
While lately hunting up something
about an old law, he went to the Law
Institution, aud pointing to a book,
asked if he could borrow it for few
moments. He was told that on pay
ment of forty dollars, 4 years sub
scriptionI he could inspect any volume
in the library, but otherwise they
would not allow him to. Greatly dis
appointed, he returned to his office,
and throwing himself into a chair,
protested that there should be free
law library in every city in the Union.
"When | die, he said, in the pres
ence Of several friends, II will leave
500, 900 toward the founding Of one"
This was treated as a joke, but as he
repeated it on several occasions, every
one became convinced of his deter
mination to do so.
He had three sisters, in very poor
circumstances, to whom he gives an
nuities. All the rest Of his estate, Of
which the Fidelity Trust Company is
the executor, goes to the library. 1t
is thought that it will be called the
Hirst Free Law Library.
