THE announcement OF the death 81
Col. n. NJ. McCarty, late editor of the
Jessamine Journal, is received with pro-
foun ! sorrow by his friends OF the pro
fession which he adorned, as well rs by
the legions of other friends that his gen
ial disposition and popular manners drew
to him. Though nearly three score and
ten, perennial youth seemed to spring
from his heart, which never grew old.
He was most entertaining writer and a
conversationalist of whom one never
grew tired. Lightly rest the sod upon
him. The world in which he moved is
better for his having lived in it.
Col McCarty was one of the editors
OF the old Louisville Courier, and report
ell the proceedings of the constitutional
convention in lS4S. He afterwards pub
lshed papers at Paducah, Ky. West
ford, Mo, Kansas City, Mo-, and Eliza.

Nicholasville. He spent several sessions
Of Congress at Washington and held one
Of the responsible positions under IT,
When GOV. Knott, an old friend and
schoolmate, was elected he made him as
sistant secretary OF State, an Office which
he filed with much credit. Several
ago he was struck with paralysis
and had been bed.ridden till death re-
icved him.

The style of poetry invented by
Bret Harte and which is noteworthy
chiefly on account of its bad spelling
seems to have been adopted by a large
number OF poetss,, rs all over the coun'
try. OF course such trash is calculated
to bring poe,ical compositions into dlsre-
pute; and az il cannot well be considered
a. worthy of preservation, it would seen.
to be- the duty OF the press TO turn It's
back upon scribblers who imagine they
are poets, simply because they can con.
struct verses that rhyme.
Not content with writing about
thing, of the past or those OF the pres
ent, certain sensational writers have
adopted a new style in which they treat
OF things that are to happen n hundred
years hence. The latest sensation is an
article by Edgar Fawcett in the New
York Press, in which he describes the
destruction OF the moon ut some period
in the future. In the exuberance OF his
i'm agiDation he shows how like giant
bonbshell she exploded in the heavens
above u.s." that is, how she will explode
when the time for the explosion arrives.
Such trash as this is now served up reg
ularly for the d-lectation Of a sky-skim-
ming public, anxious To- gulp down ev-
cry fancy that emanates from the brain
of the veriest crank.

them in every day life. In the Louis

Amanda McCauley appeared and claim
ed that the one year-old child OF Mrs.
John Ulrich was in reality hers and
stated that Mrs. Ulrich had deceived her
husband in the matter. She said that
she had given birth to the child at the
lyipg-in hospital and proved that by an
attendant, fact which she ought TO have
been glad to have kept secret. The court
decided that it was Mrs. Ulrich's child,
though, without resorting to the Solo
mon test.

by. and told him that as prisoner of war de.
manded his protection. He replied: Yes,
sir; you shall have it. Welike to capture such
men,
After our capture we had several converse.
tions with Federal officers in regard to the
killing of Mcpherson, and / had myself one
with an officer of his staff. who told me the
first intimation he had of his death was seeing
his riderless horse come back.
I" The next day we started on our way to
Northern prisons; the officers to Johnson S
Island, near Sandusky, o.
"A short distance this side we passed through
the little city OF Clyde, the birthplace and
home of Gen. Mcpherson. We noticed that the
flag was at half mast. and asked one OF the
crowd standing round the depot what 1t meant,
and were told they had just buried Gen.
Mcpherson. whom the rebels had muir
dered, and the flag at half-mast for him.
The tragedy that l have just described was
the last one that / ever took part i'll during the
war, and it is as vividly pictured upon my
mind sif it had all occurred yesterday.
The circumstances under which Gen. Nc
Pherson met his death were perfectly lustih-
able
BE had every opportunity on earth to sur

chances of flight. Although he was considered
as a host in himself against US. his untimeiy

patriotic, brave, honorable, hgh-minded and
q skillful General. As to his skill, all compe-
tent authorities agree that the first Bull Run
was an admirably planned battle, and its fail.
ure was really no fault Of McDowell's, though
he was made to suffer for it to the end of his
career.
Well, then, what were the faults in Nc
Dowell? Why was he so disliked? To my
mind it was because he was Regular of Regu-
lars-an officer of the old regime-and WAS
never able to appreciate or truly value the
volunteers. In this respect he was just the
opposite of Joe Hooker who always preferred
1.-THE thinking bayonet" to the mere soldier
for hire In one case there was mutual conf
dence and affection; in the other it was wholly
lacking.
remember once when the intelligence came
that McDowelps horse had fallen with him, and
he had been injured BY the pommel of his sad
die, a company comrade exclaimed: II would
to God it had gone right, through him" The
remark struck me Of the time as both senseless
and uneharitable; at the same time it showed
the unpopularity of orr General.
Well, let us come to- the second Bull Run.
We too, were down on the left Matters were
getting peppery and exciting in front. Our
brigade was halted, in park, a few moments
behind grove Of trees. .( Gen. Mcdowell came
along. ] was too near-sighted to see or notice
just wbat'ki of a hat he wore, but as have
ucsifo b ROOu ueHl iAuOut Ludt uAt, L nave an
impression from the descriptions that it was
one of those inverted, bOwl.shaped white hats
worn in hot climates for greater comfort. Any.
how, there was nothing reasonable in his re-.
marks at the time, for he cried out
"Fall right in, brigade, as quick as you can
Porter's ON the other side of the rebels driving
them this way; that's what's making them
| fight so hard. Just follow me, and we'll whip
| 'em!"
Then the brigade marched in column up the
slope to where the fighting was going on. How
far Mcdowell went with US don't remember
got crack on the head just as soon as the
battle-line was formed, land the subsequent
proceedings interested me no more"
Now, how can any sane man associate Nc.
Dowell's white hat with treason? Where
| everything is flying round, as on battlefield,
"promiskus.like," how is a white hat going to
| benefit anybody? Mcdowell wore it for COM
| fort-that's all. It was hot weather. And
| when Comrade Thomas saw him whirling it in
the air, is it not reasonable to suppose that he
was doing it to impart courage to the 9Th N. Y
Cav, and let them see that their General was
| still with them2-B. SPooNER, Co. d, 18th
