General Sheridan was in the far
west fighting the Indians. A band of
the latter had made a sudden attack
on a detachment of his men, but for
tunately they had a mountain how
itzer mounted on a mule. Not having
time to take il off and put IL in position,
they backed up and blazed away at
the Indians. The recoil was 50 heavy
that the mule and all went tumbling
down the hill toward the savages,
who, not understanding that kind of
fighting, took 10 their heels. After.
ward one of them was captured, and
when asked by Sheridan why he ran,
replied:
"Me big Injun, not afraid of little or
big guns, but when white man fires
whole jackass at Injun, he don't know
what 10 do"

The Mcclellan Controversy.

II may be hardly worth while to bring
up the old Mcclellan controversy, bnt the
following light thrown upon the subject
by man we'll known in Manchester may
be OF interest. 1t is q letter recently pub
lished 10 the st. Paul Despatch. written by
Edwin M. Stanton while Secretary OF war
to his pers onal friend and confident Rev.
Heman Dyer. 1t will be remembered that
Mcclellan always complained that he WAS
not properly supported in his peninsula
campaign, and that this want of support
was due to the personal enmity OF Stanton.
This letter explains the action OF Mr.. Stan
ton in directing McDowell's command to
remain in defence OF the National capital.
The letter says that when McClellan's
force was about to be transferred to Fort
ress Monroe, it was discovered that the
force left to defend the National capital
was less than 20 900 raw recruits with not
a single organized brigade. The best
military men agreed in opinion that Wash
layton was not safe, and President Lincoln
thereupon directed the Secretary, by
written orders, TO retain one OF the army
corps for the defence Of the capital. This
order. the letter says. provoked the wrath
Of Mcclellan. and the wrath OF Mr.. Nc
Clellau's friends was directed upon the
the Secretary. Later on the President
yielded to the eutresties of Mcclellan, and
modified bis orders TO Q slight extent.
although the Secretary did not concur
in the modification. The letter says in
conclusion:
The different records will at the proper
time fully prove:
First-Tbat l have employed the whole
power OF the Government unsparingly TO
support General McClellsn's operations,
10 preference to every other General. 4
Second That have not intefered with

Third That the force retained from bis

ident. upon the best military advice in
the country; that its retention was requir-
ed TO save the capital from the danger to
which it was exposed by disregard Of

II President Cleveland should DO able
to carry out his plan for admission into
America free OF duty, one OF the first ef
fecis which would be produced on the
English iron trade would be the transfer
ence OF much OF the enormous stocks OF
pig in the Scotch aud Cleveland markets
to the United States ports. Shipments
Of hematites from Scotland and from the
west coast OF England would also increase.
The iron-ore mines OF Lancashire and
West Cumberland would be certain to do
greatly enlarged trade with the United
States.
The future course OF events will be
watched with considerable interest by the
British iron trade. 1t is, after all. cir
cnmstances which guide the destinies OF
nations, and it appears to us that the pres
ent circumstances favor the adoption by
congress Of Mr.. Cleveand's proposals for
reducing import duties. II the duties
now levied upon British rails entering
American ports should be reduced to any
extent the reduction may ex-
ert happy influence upon the British
rail-trsde. Even as matters now stand,
English rails have found some favor with
American railroad companies during the
last few months, and there can be little
doubt that they will come into extended
use IN the United states il the adoption in
whole or in part OF Mr.. Cleveland's views
makes them more readily available for
