TO rest, get their breath and replenish their am
munition. 1t would have been great encour-
agement To all, ana doubt not the result IL our
army would have much less disastrous
than it proved III the end, and much more seri-
Ous to the enemy.
have never heard that question discussed by
any OF our great military leaders, but have the
opinion of many good soldiers upon 1t. aud while
some agree with me, others do not. Those who
dissent claim that IL takes the best disciplined
troops to mako successful flank and rear attack.
That might he true if the troops attacked were
equally we'll disciplined; and vet the
attacking force would have great
aud decided advantage In this case
the rebel troops no better disciplined
than our own, they had been fighting for nine
hours, and although they were driving the Union
forces slowly bat surely before them, they had
been resisted tiercey and stuhbOrnly that
Nanny of them had become demOraliZed and were
struggling badly. They were all times
posed to a fire in front. Now, suppose that Wal
lace had continued his route, and with
Mcpherson to guide him, had attacked their
left and rear, what would have been the proba-
BILE result They would have been exposed to
three fires front, left and rear, and troops in
the world could or would have stood up against
II for ten minutes, much less such troops COM
posed the rebel army at that time. That pOr-
tion of the rebel army if attacked by Wallace
under such circumstances would have been al
most surrounded by fire, and would have been
forced to a disastrous defeat or an unconditional
surrender.

mary of all naval contracts with American ship

newly collected from official European and

that they establish the responsibility Of
England for the Justification of Secretary Sew

the rebellion. He gives list of bwenty-three
English blockade-runners captured In the early
part of the war, which were loaded with muni-
tons OF war to the value of 100000 The
navy improvised during the cost $S4, 000,-
600, and materials and vessels were sOlu for
$4,000, 900, leaving the net cost OF the
navy at about 47,OO0.OOo. In the nineteen
years since the war the United States spent for
naval vessels only S3,000.000, while
England spent S156, 100000, France 1913 .000.-

Concluding Proceedings.


The interrogations in General Wallaces letter
were answered by Major James r. Ross, of In
dianapolls General Knefer being unable to t.
tend, the pith of the answers being already
embraced in Genera! McGinnis's address.
Captain David Wilson, of MOnrovia, then
made speech, which must have made histo-
rian Badeau's ears burn. He thought the refu-
tation of the ISLANDERS came tardily, as it was a
matter that should have been settled years ago.
He hoped the Generals letter and General Nc
Ginnis's speech would be published where the
slanderers or the officers and men of Wallaees
division would see them. He then offered rhe
following resolution, which heartily in
dorsed and adopted:
"Resolved, That the thanks of this association
are due and are hereby rendered to Msior-general
Wallace for his letter, vndicating, not only him
self, but every officer and soldier who fought i'll
Wallace's division at Shiloh"
Captain Ramsey, OF Charlottesville, said that
no word of vindlcatIon of General Wallace was
necessary TO the men and officers who were
with him on that march to Shiloh, and if he de-
served blame at all it was for remaining under
imputatiou so long, when he had such testimony
at hand. He added, that the bitter enmity OF
the regular army officer toward the volunteer
matter of history, ana that General Wal
lace had suffered because of that enmity.
1t was expected that General Waace's son
Henry, of Charlottesville, would have been pres
emit, but dispatch came announcing sickness in
his family.
Resolutions of thanks to the citizens. to Price
Post, G. A. r., to Fritz cornet band, ETC., were
then passed.
The association adjourned at $50 P. NJ, to at
tend the county fair as invited guests. They
were welcomed to the grounds in brief speech
by Judge Green, of Upton, and given the free
dom of The fair, of the city and everything else
within reach
81 In the evening the veterans were apportioned
among the citizens and marched off in squads to
supper. on leaving for home on the night
trains, they war1l in their praises of the
generous hospitality o: Upton.

NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-The Evening Post,
noting the reduction in price of the Times, says
"The reduction in price of the Daily Times from
four cents to two cents per copy, is the first de-
cided symptom in American journalism of move
ment which had it's beginning in the penny
press of London dozen years ago. The wisdom
of the policy adopted by the Times, in business
point of view, caunoG be brought in question by

They have only to deal with facts and figures.
IL is simply question of competition, to be de-
cided upon the same principles as competition
in the making of calico or pig-irOn. Ii is a part
of the evolution OF journalism. The course pur-
sued by the Times is not itself cause, but a
consequence of other causes. 1t remains to be
seen what consequences il will, in Its turn, pro-
