out and looked in the Generals room,
and came in collision with Miss Rem

who had deserted and betrayed us the
night before. Miss Rembought was
going to General Morgan's room to
inform him Of the presence Of the enc
my. General Morgan was up and
dressed in a minute, and. accompanied
by Major Garrett and myself, left the
house. We first went 10 small church
situated on the left and front Of the
yard. Finding that we could not con-
ceal ourselves here the General sent
Major Garrett to the entrance from
Main street to see If it was possible to
make an exit by that route. and Mr..
johnson, who was clerk for the Adju-
tant General, remained with General
Morgan. We crossed from the front
yard of the premises to the garden OF
the old hotel, which occupied the
southeast corner OF the square. From
the rear we passed into small vine
yard. By this time those of the staff
who had remained in the house were
captured and the whole town seemed
alive with Yankee soldiers. While in
the vineyard we were surrounded, and
General Morgan was killed after the
whole party had surrendered. The
old story that he fought until death is
absolutely untrue, as none of the party
fred shot. The Generals body was
then thrown across horse in front of
cavalryman, who paraded the streets,
shouting, Here's your horsethief,' etc.
Those OF us who were captured, with
the Generals body, were removed tc
the top of the hill, west of Greenville,
where we met Gillian and his COM
mand. By this time the clothing had
nearly all been stripped from his body,
and he lay like hog in his wallow,
covered with blood. General Gillian,
however, righted this indignity as he
should. He had the body placed in an
ambulance, and in charge of Captain
Withers, Clay, and myself, it was
brought back to the Williams residence,
where it was washed, dressed, and
left for removal by the Confederates.
The officers of the staff were afterward
removed to Knoxville, from thence to
Chattanooga, and in transit from the
latter place to Nashville made their
escape from the cars. Captains Clay

count of Lincoln's Inauguration:
1t was little after one o'clock when
the outgoing and incoming Presidents,
arm in arm entered the Capitol, pro-
ceeding Immediately to the Presidents
room, whence they emerged in few
minutes, preceded by the Marshal of the
District, Judge of the Supreme Court,
and Sergeant-at-Arms, and followed
by the Senators and diplomatic corps,
heads Of departments, Governors Of
States and others, and made their
way to the east portico of the Cap
itol, where small wooden pavilion
had been arranged, under which Mr..
Lincoln stood while he delivered his
memorable message. Chief Justice
Taney, old, shrivelled to the bone,
with face like parchment, muff1ed in
his silken robes, sat in front of the
army of judges, doubtless with many
musings. Close by stood Douglas so
near, in fact, that Mr.. Lincoln, finding
no place on or under the small reading
table provided for him in which to
deposit his hat, handed it over to his
mighty rival, who held it carefully I'M
til the speech was completed. Mr..
Lincoln's voice was clear and pene-
trating, and was distinctly heard far
and near among the assembled multi
tudes, which preserved unbroken
silence from the beginning of the mes
sage to the end. Then o tremendous
cheer rose and ran like wave along
the avenue, carrying testimony, which
was likewise flying over the wires in
every direction, that the inauguration
had been successfully accomplished,
and that, in spite of all perils, vision
ary and real, Abraham Lincoln was
President of the United States. and a
new historic era had been ushered in.
I came from Springfield to Wash
ington with Mr.. Lincoln, my duty be-
ing to write letters about the progress
to q New York newspaper. No ade-
quate description of it was then or now
possible. No chief magistrate of tho
nation since it was founded had ever
been SO accompanied to his place, and
none bids fair to be SO till new and
like peril goes hand in hand with him
thither. It was not merely an out
break Of partisan enthusiasm which
rose round him everywhere, such as
might greet any political chieftain in
his season of triumph, but seemed
rather the voice Of a people in an hour
of deep foreboding saluting their
chosen, and with mingled hope and
misgiving speeding him upon his work.
There was token everywhere, lying
below the upper voice Of huzzas and
acclamations, of sense of impending
danger and uncertainty as to what the
immediate days were to bring. Lin
coin was not apparently without
this feeling, though in most of his
addresses he preserved hope
full tone. In his speech, however, to
his friends and neighbors at Spring
field at his departure perhaps the
most mournful and certainly one of the
most impressive that ever fell from his
lips he signitied an apprehension,
which proved to be true, that he might
be addressing them for the last time,
and might never again look upon the
city which had SO long been his home.

THE sTocKMAN.
About Coacl, Horses.

That experienced and successful Wis
consin breeder, Mr.. A. o. Fox in a
recentt Breeders Gazette says: The
mares which we have within our reach
to breed coachers from are lacking more
in size and bono than in any other
quality. Trotting- bred mares can be
found in nearly all sections with fair
style and action, but they are too small
and fine in the bone. 1t is fair to as
sumo that in breeding for coachers the
majority of breeders will use this class
of mares because the most common and
easily obtained. Few can afford to inn
port or buy the imported mares. When
they can be found there are probably no
better mares than our largest trotting-
bred mares, but they are now held in
such high esteem that they are quite as
high priced as the best imported mares.
In selecting our sire, therefore, for
crossing upon these medium- sized
mares we must look sharp for plenty of
size and an abundance of broad, clean
bone. He must at four years old stand
sixteen to sixteen and one half hands
and weigh in plain flesh 1900 pounds or
more. His color must be clear and rich
and without bad marks. His shoulders
should slope gracefully back, and he
should stand we'll up in the withers.
he should carry lengthy, we'll arched,
neck. surmounted by cleanly- -chis-
eled head free from meat. He
should have clear, full expressive
eye and the visage of thorough
bred. His back should be of medium
length, not too much inclined to arch,
and coupled strong in the loins to o
long, smooth hip. His tailshould come
out we'll up and float gracefully behind
when in motion. He should have a
good depth of girth and well-sprung
barrel. His limbs and feet should be
absolutely sound, not too long between
the joints, and not too straight in the
hind legs, that he may have his feet
we'll under him, and an easy, graceful
hook action. His action should be high,
bold, and square, and with sufficient
speed to roll off eight to twelve miles on
hour with ease and grace. His dis
position should be spirited and in-
telligent IL in making this selection
we can find a predominance Of these
qualities in a high bred American
trotter, with the ability to reproduce
them, believe we nave the best to be
had. If, on the other hand. we are to
look abroad among the European breed
Of coachers for our sire we must keep
clear Af the thick-chopped, meaty-
hockeds drafty sort, and look sharp for

:
at Greenville, Tenn, on the fourth day
Of September, 1864, is thus narrated
by Capt. James Rogers, now a resi-
dent of Abbeville, this State, who was
a member of Gen. Morgan's staff, and
was present on the occasion of his
death.
son the third day of September,
1854" says Captain Rogers, General
Morgan, attended by his staff, consist
ing Of Capt. Albert G.. Withers, Capt.
FL. B. Clay, Major Garrett, and my
self, started from Carriers Station,
Tenn, in command of about 1,500 cav
airy, composed in part of the brigades
Of Cantrell, Gillner, and Everett, and
regiment from General Vaughn's
brigade, in command of Col. Bradford,
and section of artillery. Greenville
was reached about five o'clock on the
evening Of the third. The troops were
quartered in and around the town,
with headquarters at Mrs. Williams,
whose residence was situated in the
eastern portion of the town. Colonel
Bradford was ordered to picket all
roads leading in the direction of Bulls
Gap, the stronghold of the enemy, as
itwas well known that General Gillian,
with about three thousand well-mount-
ed men, was at that place. It was the
purpose of General Morgan to move at
three o'clock on the morning Of the
fourth of September, and to attack the
enemy as soon as he could reach him;
but at about one o'clock on the morn
ing Of the fourth terrible rain began
to fall, in consequence of which Gen
eral Morgan countermanded his orders
to move at three q. m. On the night
of the third an old resident Of Green
vile came to the house of Mrs. Will
Jams, approached Major Garrett and I
while we were sitting on the front
piazza OF the house, and informed us
that the junior Mrs. Williams had left
the town. As it was known that her
husband was with the Federal COM
mand at Bulls Gap, he believed that
she intended to betray General Nor
gan, if possible.
The General was Immediately in
formed Of this, and at once notified
Tic OuC6TS III CIdrBe OF Un6 OuUp0SGS.
In the meantime Mrs. Williams was
looked after, but could nowhere be
found. Having implicit confidence in
the officer in charge Of the pickets,
General Morgan and staff retired for
the night.
AS before stated, at about one
o'clock the rain came down in torrents.
The couriers and ordtsslies were quar-
tered in the back piazza or portico of
the house. General Morgan, ever
mindful Of the comfort Of his men, had
gone downstairs and moved the BOYS
inside of the lower hall. The house
was Q large double brick, with four
rooms on each floor, the second story
being reached by winding stairway.
The General occupied the upper front
room on the right. Captain Withers
and Major Garrett occupied rooms, the
one opposite Captain Clay and mysalf,
the other In the rear of the Generals
room. All was quiet until about day
light on the 4th, when the writer was
asked the cause Of so much firing. 1t

Safe Food for chicks.

A correspondent of the Springfield
RepabticGR says: have been in the
hen business over five years; thee years
ago raised l84 chicks, and never lost or
even had one sick. / feed one-half
corn meal and one-half shorts mixed up
with warm water. As soon as the chicks
appear put down q small quantity of
the mixture and the mother soon teaches
them how to eat. If have it, mix the
food up with sour milk, and give it to
them to eat the same day they are taken
from the nest, for always noticed that
chickens will pick for something to eat
within a few hours after leaving the
she'll. MY chicks are always strong, for
| select eggs for setting from the best
and strongest 2-year- old hens. I speak
of my experience three years since, as I
have never tried to raise SO many since,
as have not much land. The 18i chicks
spoken of were raised in yard measure
ing fifteen by eighteen feet. Out of
that number ! had over one hundred
pullets, and marketed the rest as soon
as they weighed three or four pounds.
Still, never should attempt to raise
that number again in the same yard, for
it was too small and the hens acquired
the habit of feather picking; since,
have net crowded them and all goes
we'll. The trouble IN raising chickens
mainly comes from giving them clear
corn meal, which constipates them.
Give one half bran or shorts" as we
call it, and select your eggs from strong
hens and see no need for failure, pro-
viding there is not neglect in some
other direction. Chickens require to
be fed often, say once an hour, giving a
small quantity or only what they will
eat up clean. Clean water must of
course he given.
Another writes: About the middle of
last May / set hen of the Plymouth
Rock breed, on fifteen eggs, and in due
time she came off with fifteen chickens.
The chickens were fed with scaIded
wheat bran and corn meal mixed about
half and half, and allowed to run with
the hen. They all lived and thrived
greatly, and were all of good size when
/ parted with them about the middle of
October. My experience the year be-
fore with the same treatment was nearly
the same, though the hen did not hatch
all her eggs.

they might annoy my neighbors too

came on July 8, and were successfully
introduced ON the 10th. I removed the
queens (hybrids), and Immediately
placed the Italian queens In the hives.
I did it according to Mr.. DooGttle's plan,
which is about as follows.
I made wire cages (three) about three
inches square and three-quarters OF an
inch deep, and first removing the queen
from the hive, I took comb Of brood
with some honey into my bee-house and,
laying it on board, let the queen es-
cape from the mailing cage into my in

into the comb sufficiently to hold it,
hung the comb In the hive. Each queen
was introduced In the same way. They
were left undisturbed for two days, and

cepted. One was found stillin the cage.

A weary march, hopeless fight,
A sad retreat at dead OF night,
And then we all at dawn of day
Lay down like cattle by the way;
The pangs OF hunger and of thirst
Were rending us like things accursed;
A comrade shouted at my back,
Come, open up your haversack"
Each spread his treasures at his feet
In lieu OF something there to eat;
A story-book, q Testament,
A housewife by his mother sent;
And one a picture fair to see,
A baby ON its mothers knee;
And so sweet scenes OF home came back,
Around the empty haverssck.
A comrade broke into a song,
Twas -Home, Sweet Home,' and soon q
throng
Had gathered round us where we sat,
OF home and home delights to chat;
or tables laid with royal fare,
And served with woman 8 loving care.
-Zipi zipi" volley swept our track,
And each man grabbed his haversack.
A stricken comrade strove to riso,
The film of death was In his eyes,
@My haversack-take-the some bread
A letter-home," was all he said.
We caught him ere he sank to rest,
We crossed his hands above his breast,
His mothers picture, some hard-tack,
We found within his hRversack.
We broke the bread, and as 1 live,
1t seemed the Lord was there to give,
The morsels were so magnified
BY love of him who Just had died;
Whose spirit fingered around us there,
To solace us in our despair;
And fling a ray of splendor back
To rest on memory's haversack.
Oh, glad am for dream that brings
So many half-forgotton things
The comradeship that closer grows
When sorrow darkest shadow throws;
The comradeship that until death
Is breathed with every soldiers breath;
That shares its crust, in joy or wrack,
From that old army haversack.
