Generals Who Bore Charmed Lives.


A curious article might be written on the
immunity from wounds in action of some gen.
erals and the ill-fortune of others in becoming
the billet for a bullet No commander was
ever more forward in the fghting-line than
Sheridan, yet he never got scratch. Skohe-
loft, who many a time went at it with his own
good sword, and in his white coat and on his
white charger headed every charge with a reek-
lessness that men called madness, had as COM
plete an immunity as if he carried the charmed
life that his soldiers ascribed and was woanded
only in the quiet trenches by chance bullet
fired into the air mile away. Wellington
was but once hit; the bullet that carried away
his boot-heel scarce gave him a confusion
Grant was never struck; no more was Napo-
leon. Of Sir Neville Chamberlain, again, one
of the most distinguished officers of our Indian
army, the saying goes that he never went into
action without receiving a wound and the gal
liant old man has been fighting pretty steadily
ever since the first Afghan war. Bazaine was
a man to whom fortune was not stingy in the
matter of wounds. AT Borny there came TO
him the leaden reminder that he was mortal,
though this time it was but gentle hint.
The fragment of shell hit him on the left
shoulder, but it had been well-spent, and be-
cause of the protection of the epaulet gave
him but a confusion, from which he had pain
for several days, especially when on horseback.

told him that if they ventured TO carry out
their threat they should have the best she bad

nately, certain members of the Knights of the
Golden Circle kept her well posted as to what
was going on. On one occass5n they notified
her that one of her neighbors, to whom she had
been particularly kind and obliging, was about
to lead party in night attack on her house
with view to capturing her colored servant.
Not Disconnected in the least, she went straight
TO the ring-leader and told him that if he
touched q hair of the old darkeys head she
would see that he was arrested and brought to
Justice! She was never afterwards molested,
and when her friends urged her to leave south
ern Illinois for a less turbulent section OF the
country. she always declared that this was a
free country, and she was determined, what
ever came of it. to stay where she was. 1t re-
quired good deal of genuine grit to maintain
that position in those troublous times in south
ern Illinois, and Mrs. Logan, l know, cannot

truly that almost any of the people of that

ready resolutions Of secession had been passed
at meetings in his district, and Mrs. Logan and
herhusband friends, in endeavoring to restrain
public opinion until their Representative could
personally appear aud declare his views, had
most delicate and dangerous role to play.
"On the day set Tor his arrival she drove in

people. They crowded in a mass around her

in relation to his management of the

been lied about by his enemies for the
past thirty years and takes this oppor-
tunity of replying to the lies heretofore
told about himself, but he adds that
he would not now reply, but for the
fact that others connected with him
have also been brought into the affairs,
| am glad Mr.. Hiles has concluded to
assist some one with whom he has
been connected. | think this is the
first time he ever made such an
attempt. Now | propose to submit to
an honest people few iacts for their
consideration. In the first place by
way of explanation I will say that
am unlike Mr.. I1iles in this. that |
have not been lied about for thirty
years, and the lies told about me if
sold for dime each, would not pay
the national debt and pension the
soldiers. Yet this fact does not of
itself render me less capable of telling
the truth.

COST OF ROAD

Facts being very necessary to know in
order to arrive at proper understand
ing of situation. | herewith furnish
the reading public with few.
l built one mile of the road and got
it ready for the iron--it is the mile
from Pittsville southland this mile
will compare favorably with the bal
ance Of the road and is about an
average of the cost of the road per
mile and this cost less than seven
hundred dollars and | paid for the
work, labor and material used in the
construction of said mile Of road and
it cost Mr.. H. not one cent. built
the depot at Pittsville (by the way
the only depot on the whole line of
road) and this has cost Mr.. Hiles
nothing. He did agree TO pay two
small bills for lumber, one to J. Ed
wards & Co., of Port Edwards, Wis.
and one to Curtiss Bros, of Wausau.
Wis. but I believe both of the bills
are still unpaid-further I furnished
the lumber for the engine house at
Dexterville, also furnished the lumber
for all the camps on the line of road
(except one [ paid for the clearing
of two miles of said road. I furnish.
ed a crew of men and teams and
furnished camp throughout for the
building of four miles of said road and
