Since the death Of General John c..
Fremont the question Of his nativity has
been discussed more than ever before: in
fact the subject was never before men
toned in the public prints as far as our
observation and memory extends. Cen
eral Fremont was born in Savannah, Ga,
but his parents removed to Charleston,
5. c., when ne was quite young. Both
his parents soon died and our hero fell
into the hands of a German family
named Freimuth with whom he lived I'M
til well up toward manhood. His history
as a man is well known to the country.

1t is very probable that the house sub
stitute for the senate original package
bill, commonly known as the Wilson
bill, viii be concurred in by the senate
without delay and receive the presidents
approval. The question at once recurs
upon the effect, if any. the new national
law will have upon the liquor traffic in
original packages, whether the state
laws already in force viii be operative.
or additional enactments by state legis-
latures viii be necessary. On this ques-
tion the legal minds Of the country differ.
For instance. Judge Foster, of the United
States district court for this state. Is
clearly Of the opinion that additional
legislation by the states viii be necessary.
while Judge Edmmds. of Vermont and
United States senator from that state.
Is quite positive that existing state laws
are applicable and sufficient. The point
viii no doubt be tested in the courts and
IN the shortest time possible.

Chrome librarian He wrote inofensive
verses which were published at his own ex-
pense. He drew and painted in water colors
fairly well and he cultivated an eccentricity
Of appearance which made him noticeable
He was pudgy man with padded shoulders,
a curled mass Of dyed, blue black hair and
enormous blue black whiskers which were
always dripping with grease and perfumery.
He wore corsets and high heeled shoes two or
three sizes too small for him
The boys used to guy him numerically as
he teetered down Broadway, and half the
raggamuffins in town knew him as 'Old
Louisville" a SANDER upon the fair Ken.
lucky city which was unjust in the extreme
But his appearance was his stock in trade
The chrome literarian almost invariably
makes the mistake Of supposing that eccen-
tricity must indicate genius OF some sort or
another. AS a matter of fact many of the
most distinguished people are the most com
monplace in appearance, and on the other
hand, some of the most eccentric people in
the world are confined in the lunatic asylums.

FIGHTING NAN AGAINST MAN.

The Cavalry Raids Wild Rides Under
Stuart, Stoneman, Fitz Lee, Fitzpatrick,
Streight and Van Dorn-With AvereIl
and Morgan, with Forrest and Wilson.
The numerical strength and losses Of the
contestants IN the great battles and raids Of
the civil war, as they footed up In 1865, show
that the Confederates made the most OF their
advantage Of position, and at the same time
they show that it was only question Of
time throughout when the Confederacy as
military power would be wiped out. The
south had two great centers TO guard-ths
northeast, between the Potomac and James
rivers, covering Richmond and the southwest,
between the Alleghanies and the Mississippi,
covering the great railroad connections Of
Georgia, North and South Carolina, West
Virginia, and points on the Mississippi and
the gulf became tanks of the great strategic
lines. When Richmond and the Georgia lines
were in danger forces lsere drawn from the
TANKS TO threatened points, and when the
tanks were threatened the center was weak
ened. In this way, during the 6rst three years,
the south met its enemy man for man on
almost every field, although, as has been
shown. its total strength was inferior.
At the battle OF Shiloh, Tennessee. the Con-
federates had about 4, 900 men. Grant on
the first day had a force reported at about
5000 present for duty, and was REINFORCED
during the night ov 20, 900 under Buell. The
Contederates lost over 10000 and Grant and
Buell. trife over 1900 In "Stonewall"
Jackson's campaign in the Shenandoah val
ley, in 1852, faniling operation, the Confed-
crates had 5000 men. Jackson fought
Shields, Fremont and Banks, and the forces
of each of these at their highest amounted 30
at least 10, 000men. Fremont lost about l 900,
Shields 1900 and Banks 1900. Jackson's
total loss was a trife under 1000.

FAMOUS RAIDS or THE WAR.

FAMOUS RAIDS or THE WAR.
The first raid of note was Stuart's ride
around McClellan's army on the Peninsula,
June 1915, 1852. In October, 1852, while the
Army OF the Potomac was on the upper Poto-
mac Stuart with 1850 cavalry and q horse
battery crossed the river above the army and
penetrated into Pennsylvania as far as Gettys-
burg, recrossing the Potomac between the
army and Washington. But little damage
was done. During the Charlottesville cam
paign Gen. Hooker sent his cavalry under
Stoneman 10 cut the Confederate lines be
tween Lees army and Richmond. Stoneman
had $500 men, and passed around the army,
destroying several miles Of the railroads, cut
ting the James River canal and burning
numerous bridges on the principal streams.
One of the most exciting expeditions of the
war was the joint raids of Forrest and Van
Dorm against Grants communications IN
northern Mississippi and western Tennessee
in the fall Of 1862
During the battle Of Stone River, Tenn,
December, 1862, Gen. Joseph Wheeler, made
an important raid on the Union communica-
tons in rear Of RoSecrans' army. Wheeler
had 5 0G0 men and destroyed property amount
ing to million dollars The most daring
raid of the west was Morgan's expedition into
Indiana and Ohio. Morgan led Confederate
cavalry brigade and became celebrated by
MANY small affairs near the scene of army
operations. During Bragg's invasion of Ken
lucky he had ridden to the suburbs of Gin
cinnati On July 2 he started with about
$500 cavalry and four guns, and crossed the
Cumberland at Burkesville. He swept through
southern Indiana and across Ohio, TO its
northeastern border, where he was captured
