Third Party ralk.

w A>Il!NGTON, Dec. lN.-ln his speech
on the rcapportlonmrnt. Mr. illiman Of
South Carolina, had something to say
about Il third party movement. and
warned the politicians Of both parties
to look out for lightning.
There Is an impression here that Il
third party will h." organlZcd, and that
it viii cut quite Il figure in the next ma
tiOnal election.
Mr.. Mcpherson. clerk Of the house, a
we'll posted, 03SPrvant politician. thinks
that such movement is cable.
because he does not believe the ALI
ancemen Of the south will desert the
Democratic party.
Representative Morrill, Of Kansas,
who comes from state where the
farmers proved potent factor in the
elections, is disposed to differ with
Clerk Mcpherson, and thinks that an
Alliance candidate will not only be put
in the field for tho presidency, but that
they Will be strong enough to carry
several states. The names Of these
states he did not venture to give.
Representative piCkler of South Da.
kota, was one OF the delegates to the
Ocala convention, and he came back
here very sensibly impressed with
everything he saw and heard. lie says
Inc northwest hepuOlicanS ana Demo-
Gratis are ready for the rev olt, and at the
convention he found many southern
Democrats who stood ready to desert
their party whenever the Alliance bu-
gle was sounded.
Judge Crisp and Mr.. Bynum, on the
Democratic side OF the house, represent
ing the two distinct sections. believe
that the discomfort now manifested by
the farmers grows out Of conditions
made by the Republican party, and
that in the event Of third party move
ment that party would be the chief
sufferer.

Drew too 1Iuch Water.

| JACKSONVILLE. December. 49,
| While boring well on his vineyard and
oranGcry, situated on the outskirts OF
Econtina, Henry Ilardcastlc recently
struck what must be an immense under
ground river and which poured its water
lOuth at such a tremendous rate that the
men who were doing the boring narrow
y escaped beng Ovcrtakcn by the flood,
which. gushing down The side Of the
slight incline on which the fruit farm Is
situated, had soon worn channel in the
dry bed Of an ancient creek. This is
soon filled with rushing, furious tide,
which finally cmpticd itself into the APP
palaChicola and which has continued to
flow unchecked or without signs of dim
insting.
The water is clear, sparkling and very
cold, with only slight mineral flavor.
Fish by the thousands have been thrown

offered reward to stimulate the ingen-

People from miles around have been

of field strewed with dead men and
horses" Thus does Gen. Sherman graph
ically picture his entrance to his first battle.
Then followed the period of reorganiza-
ton. Mcclellan was soon in command of
all the armies OF the United States. Sher-
man was made brigadier general, and on
the oath of August was ordered, with his
former classmate, George ii. Thomas, to
the department of the Cumberland to re-
port to Gen. Robert Anderson, once cap
tain of the battery in which Sherman
served at Fort Moutric, S. c.
Buckner was at the time supposed to be
marching on Louisville; the state of Ken
lucky was endeavoring to preserve her
neutrality, and there was very small
Union force at hand with which to make
defense. Sherman advanced to Null
draugh's Hill with such volunteers and
home guards as could be collected. Gen.
Andersons health was not equal to the
command of so many conflicting elements,
and on the Sth of October, 1861, he pub
lished an order reinquishing his com
mand, which fell on Sherman as next in
rank in that department.
1t is impossible for the student of war
history to peruse the record of Sherman's
administration in Kentucky and his subse-
quent advance to Atlanta without wonder
ing that the same Sherman acted in both
fields. Sherman in Kentucky found him

II is interesting to note the stock from
which heroes spring The Sherman family
came from Sussex, England. One branch
produced Roger Sherman, William NJ.
Evarts and George f. Hoar Another gave
us the two brot hers, Senator John and Gen.
William Tecumsch Sherman The father
of these two distinguished men, Charles II.
Sherman, was a Judge of the Ohio supreme
court, and during the war of 1912 had acted
as commissary of subsistence. Being a
great admirer of the Shawnee chief Te-
cumseh. when the child destined to become
one of the great chieftains of the civil war
was born Judge Sherman gave him for a
second name "Tecumseh."
William Tecumseh Sherman was born at
Lancaster o., on the sth of February, 1920
His father died when he was 0 years old
and the boy was taken into the family of
Hon Thomas Ewing. who always treated
him as SON At the Lancaster academy
Re studied the ordinary branches, besides
latin, Greek and French Mr.. Ewing be
ing = United States senator, and having n
cadets appointment at his disposal, mott
fled the youngster to prepare for West
Point In 1884 however, Sherman was
employed as rod man with the engineers
locating the Hooking Valley canal receiv
ing a silver half dollar day for his work
Leaving Lancaster in the latter part of
May l6Jd, he went to Washington to re
port to senator Ewing travelling over the
great National road TO frederick' MD.
There he was tod that he could take cars

the rear of vicksburg. Having been or
dered to make a feint against Vicksburg,
Sherman ran up to Haines' Bluff, disem-
parked under heavy gunboat fire, and
kept the enemy in momentary anticipation
of an attack till he had reason to suppose
that the crisis with the main army had
passed. Then he Joined Grant in time to
engage in the general advance. The oft
told history need not be retold here.
The Atlanta Campaign.
For his brilliant services in Mississippi
Sherman was made IA brigadier general in
the regular army, and was left in com
mand Of the division of the Mississippi,
embracing the departments of the Ohio,
Cumberland, Tennessee and Arkansas. The
army of the Ohio was under Schofield, that
of the Cumberland under Thomas and
that of the Tennessee under Mcpherson.
On the 10th of April, 1854, the total force
of these three armies was 352, 600 men--on
paper. Those present for duty were $780,
600. Out of this force Sherman prepared
100000 men for active operations, leaving
$4,000 to guard the immense territory, the
lines of communication, railroads, bridges,
depots, etc, behind him. The force of en-
gines and cars required TO carry food for
his army he estimated at 100 locomotives
and 1000 cars
There were but GO locomotives and 600
cars at hand. Sherman instructed his mas
ter of transportation to hold all rolling
stock arriving from Louisville at Nash
vile. In this way he accumulated suffi-
cient cars and engines to transport food to
his armies
Gen. Joseph L. Johnston was in his front
with an army of 1900 men. Johnston
was afterward joined by an additional
force of 1900 men. Thus the armies stood
at 100000 to G4,0O0 BY the LIST of June
Sherman had lost 10000 men, and John
ston 1900. The force then stood, Sher
man 10000, Johnston 81 900, showing sur
plus of $1,000 for Sherman.
In limited space it is impossible to give
an account of the different battles fought
in this campaign. 1t will be more inter
estng to note the features of the struggle,
the objects to be gained and the advantages
and disadvantages on either side. Sherman
| having n superior force, and being each day
drawn farther from his base, was anxious
to bring on battle. Johnston must either
fight force exceeding his own by nearly
/ 10000 men. or at last demoraize his army
/ by prolonged retreat. The two armies
would come together; each would throw
l up breastworks; the country being noun
! famous, usually protected johnston 5
right; Sherman would throw his surplus to
! his own right, on the outer extremity of
/ which was his cavalry, and when about to
/ get in Johnston's rear Johnston would re
( treat.
/ sherman, grown inpatient decided to
attack at kenesaw. The armies Of the
! Cumberland and the Tennessee marched
| forward to the assault. The result was a
/ failure scarcely less bloody than Fredericks-
/ burg. Then Sherman once more threw
out his thanking column and kenesaw fell.

The next day the Confederates we're gone,
and Sherman Lad missed an opportunity.
Johnston had but 1900 men, and with the
force at his command Sherman could have
destroyed him.
While Shermans march to the sea has
been attended with great eclat, his march
through the Carolinas has been nearly lost
sight Of Yet the distance traversed in the
latter was greater than in the former, and
required the crossing of five navigable
rivers.
1t was now possible for Sherman to join
Grant in Virginia, but again the situation
was embarrassing. Grant and Sherman
now led two different armies in proximity
to Lee, and should Lee elude Grant at Pc
tersburg, join Johnston and attack Sher-
man, if successful the two might turn and
crush Grant At least this was the appre-
hension of the two leaders, who had learned
one of wars most important maxims, never
to despise an enemy. But either Grant or
Sherman was powerful enough to cope
with the combined Confederate forces, for
by this time the Confederacy was in it's
death throes.
Having arrived at Goldsboro Sherman
went to Fortress Monroe for an interview
with Gen. Grant and Mr. Lincoln. He
has given the testimony of Admiral Por-
ter, who was present at the meeting, to
show that Mr. Lincoln was ready to have
almost any terms accepted from Gen.
Johnston rather than have him join Lee
and render the fighting of another battle
necessary. Sherman went back to Colds
boro and announced his plans to his gen.
erals, but all was rendered unnecessary by
the fall of Richmond and Petersburg.
Then it was again feared Lee would at
tempt to join Johnston, and Grant di-
rected Sherman to push on, and, in CO.
operation with himself, try, as Grant ex-
pressed it, to finish the job" On April
II Sherman received the news of Lees sur
render.
On the morning of the 18th of April he
received by flag of truce a letter from Gen.
Johnston proposing to surrender. Sher-
man replied that he would make the terms
of AppomattoX "A basis. \ meeting was ar
ranged between the two generals, and on
the 18th, rs Sherman was about de-
parting to keep his engagement, he re-
ceived the news of the assassination of
| President Lincoln Sherman met John
ston, who declared he had authority over
all Confederate armies, and that he would
