We publish in full In THE TRIBUNE ths
morning General Logaa's reply to General
Grants article in the December number Oh
The North American Rerfe~ IN Justihca'loh
of the conduct of Fitz John Porter
in disobeying the orders of his commanding
General ON August 27, 2S and %, 1S6Z'
General Logan says in regard 10 fortcr
failure to start his troops at a. m. on Aug
2S. so "a to be at Bristol Station by dayhs""
that Porter's troops had been resting Tor some
time and could not have been so urea as iS
claimed: that he could have started, ana That
the fact that he believed the road was blocked
up with wag ms Was no excuse lol us
obedience. Indeed. General Logan asserts
that according to tho best evidence The
road had been cleared OF 0bs'a-
cles. and that if Porter had wished to advance
he could have done so easily. Some pertinent
remarks are next inserted in the article 10
show that General Grant would not have tol-
Grated in his subordinates such an exercise
of discretion as Porter INDUCED III. Inc
"43O order" is then fully discussed. Yen
Logan declares, and offers letters III PROOF, ulat
Porter at this time had no intention OF lal'n-
fully serving Pope. General Grant says Or
ter could not have attacked the rlGht HANK vi
Jackson because Longstreet was directly III iron'
If him with $4,000 men in a chosen position !;
he wonld first have had to defeat utterly lhls
force. In General LOgan's opinion 1t Is NOT
trne that LongstIeet was In front oi
Porter or near his front, or even racing
his fir ont and that il Porter had
wished all the orders which he received
ON that day could have been easily carried out.
Nothng bat lack OF disposition prevented
him. General Logan also INDUCES III many
sharp criticisms OF POrters conduct at TINS
period, all Of which, he holds, proves
conclusjvely that Porter did his best to
demoralize the Army The proposition to
restore Porter to the rolls of the Army, he
declares, would establish damaging precedent
Senator Logan makes an exceedingly stroh9
ease. and leaves General Grants article 1T
tie worse than If it had never been written.

The satisfaction which certain people take
nowadays in watching dangerous ainusements
is lingering trace of that feeling Which made
the gIadiatOrial shows of ancient Rome and the
buIl-fghts in Spain so popular. And 1T Is pro-
pvrtionately dlsreputable. 1t is to he hoped
that it will not be very long until we are CIVIL
ized enough to have laws that will prohibit en-
trely all such performances. If these laws ex-
listed now the shocking accident which occurred
at the Coliseum Theatre in Cincinnati coud
not have taken place. The woman who al
lowed herself TO be shot at ought to have real
ICED her danger il the man who handled the

Read to Improve.

There is no virtue and little enjoy
meut in reading one after another OF
what are commonly known as solld
books unless they are read merely as
means towards gaining some dennlte
knowledge. A book OF history or ge-
ography or physics or geology Is no
more than a means of getting certain
knowledge to be used Immediately or
after time. If it is read with notion
that the mere act Of readingis praise
worthy use of time. something e1fica-
ciousEiu the same way in which 1t has
been supposed that the saying OF a GER
tain number of caves" or "credos" was
efficacious-then the time is for the
most part lost. 1t is too much ike
gathering a miscellaneous assortment
of pieces of cloth and never having
them made into clothes which Can DC
worn. The substance OF the matter is
to read for the sake of finding out
something and to get at the information
in the quickest way. A great part Vi
the historical books have been written
with no conception of the wants OF read
ers who are not already familiar, In
general way, with the subject, and
therefore prepared to be interested IN
details. The genealogy of a person
YOU know nothing about has not the
faintest interest for You, neither has
the year of his birth or death. Story
tellers give that sort of account of their
characters which historians ought gem
orally to give, while many so-cailed
historians might just as well and bet
ter be put in the form of a tabular
statement and compressed In a few
pages Hartford Times.

Texas Coal and Iron.

As Texas has never yet had a geolo.
o,;cal survey the extent OF her coal
s,rata Is not we'll defined. 1t is sup
nosed. however, to embrace about thlr-
ty thousand square miles, IN the nortn-
avn and western portions OF the State.
Over this great area coal has been
found at a great many places, but at no
,,1"na has Il been mined except to a
pnrv small extent. 1t is bituminous
coai and almost if not quite precisely
similar to the Indian Territory. some
anthracite has also been discovered IN
this ccal territory. The railroads are
now penetrating the coal formatlons OF
Texas. and this great source OF wealth
will now doubtless berapidly developeu'
So far it j. virgin field.
Tn addition to the true coais
of Texas there is an immense
bed of Ignite which extends aPpar'
emily across the entire state from
northeast to southwest, i'll the eocene
fnrmation. It is said to be at some
noints twenty feet thick. This ignite
ip3',nb assemblies camel coal, and
doubtless would be made quite equal
to it by process of pressure by ma ma,
chinery. 1t is very fat IN various OILS
Texas is peculiarly blessed with iron.
Tn Eastern Texas there are immense
denosits of hematite or brown OXIDE OF
IRON, II runs through many countles'
often forming high hills, which are liter
aIlv filed with it. These ores contain
from forty to seventy-fve per cenI; o1
metal. In some places they are "olkeu
to some extent. The region IN when
these ores are located is heavily TIMBER
ed :. so that charcoal for reduction can
be had at a nominal figure. Inc IRON
turned out is of excellent quality In
Robertson. Limestone, and other coun-
ties Of Central Texas the same quality
of ores exist. and generally III Close
proximity to immense beds OF ng!l1e.
But perhaps the grandest accumuia'iuns
Of iron ores in Texas, and propaoly
anv where else, are in Llano and bur
matt counties. It is here in connection
with primitive rocks,an appear most
lv as magnetic. 1t rises out OF inc
granite in immense seam ana alAeS. ~
has been wrought to small extenI "n.
found to yield from seventy-hve 70
ninety Der cent. of metallic iron, equal
to the best Swedish. There is plenty
Of timber for charcoal and limestone
for hux. Besides, coal has been found
near by, and it is known to De aouno
ant little further to the north. soap
stone is abundant in the same locall1les'
yulnaEle for furnaces.

Corn vs.. Cotton.

A writer in the Southern Farnae rs'
lJonthlu SAYS: an my vicinity plant
ers are paying 81 bushel for corn ON n
a credit payable out OF the next fall
CROP. Ii cotton should sell for Z cents
net it will require IA 81 pounds OF cot
ton to pay for one bushel OF corn. Ii a
man can exchange his 1000 bushels OF
corn for cotton at these figures he will
get 14,57O pounds of cotton for his crop
of corn, or about thirty-six bales OF cot
ton: in other words, we send thlrty-slx
bales of cotton up North to pay for the
corn that one man can make. Is there
.nv wonder that we are as poor as
ch.mouse? And Bill Arp is about
RIGHT when he says: L am Altered we
are a nation of fools. There has long
been an impression up North, and even
in the South, that we can not raise
stock to profit; that we have no grass;
can't feed stock; that the flies are too
bad; that we have too many diseases
while the fact is, we have more ana
better grasses than the North has. we
can raise hogs, cattle, sheep, mules and
horses for one-half the cost that 1t re-
ouires up North. And to fatten the
stock for market, it can be done with
peas, even on the poor land of Georgia,
for less money than it can be done IN
the North; and, while we are raising
stock, we are improving our lands in
stead of wearing them out. I am well
aware there is strange fascination IN
planting cotton. We see in the spring
that $40 bale, and then bales Of cotton
to the hand, but from some cause we
can't see the expense attending the
making of the crop"
