vaIIo decided 10 strike his enemies again.
The village of Port Republic lies in an
angle between North and South rivers,
which unite to form the south fork of the
Shenandoah, the stream that rolled as a
barrier between Fremont and Shields In
order to reach Port Republic Fremont
must pass the North river and Shields the
South river. The North river had bridge,
the South ford, and Jackson prepared to
defend BOTH and also to give battle to Ere
mcnt and Shields in turn. Planting his
army along the heights of North river, be-
tween Fremont and the bridge, he sta
toned picket in Port Republic to warn
Shields from the ford on South river.
Fremont and the advance Of Shields
reached the scene on the 9Th Of June.
Shields men dashed into Port Republic
early in the day and drove Jackson's men
out, himself among them, and planted a
cannon at the end Of the bridge, command
ing it completely. Luckily for Jackson,
the leader of the Union detachment scat
tered his men in his zeal to gobble up ev-
erything within reach, and failed to destroy
the bridge. With this bridge destroyed
Jackson would have been caught between
Fremont on his front and an impossible
river behind him, and Shields would have
been in position to play across the stream
with artillery in Jackson's rear. Seeing
the danger, "Stonewall" hastily gathered
some cannon and opened on the Union
gun, and soon led a regiment across the
bridge, clearing the Union troops out Of
Port Republic effectually.
During the skirmish at the bridge be-
tween Jackson and Shields, Fremont at
tackled the Confederates in his front, and
the result was a stubborn battle, known as
Cross Keys. Fremont's tactics were to
break through the Confederate flank rest
ing near the bridge and so open the way
for Shields, whom be believed to be in the
vicinity, TO cross over to his aid. Jackson
repulsed Fremont successfully at first, and
the latter was making ready for new at
tack when a courier from Shields reached
him with a note that led him to believe the
Shields column held Port Republic. He
decided to wait until the morning of the
9th before renewing the battle, counting on
Shields 10 do something.
During the night Jackson resolved upon
another bold plan. Fremont had been

Use a Postage Stamp.
rree Press,

saver seems to be unknown to most WON
en-. The readiness with which half the
women you know will take upon them
selves errands that really require a great
deal of time rather than do the errand by
the aid of the post is amusing. Some
times it is pathetic. A busy woman with
many calls upon her time will go long
way to change pair of gloves or to return
a borrowed handkerchief when a postage
stamp would save her sn hour Of time
Short letters will take the place OF calls in
line cases out of ten when the calls are
merely for small errands The truth Is.
there Is too great regard for those small
expenses which are after all economies
with most of the less rich half of creation
