COOLLY RODE UP AND DOWN THE LINE.
this brigade was formed for him in the
Fourth Army corps, and his Buckeye lads
were permitted to go along This deal it
was that took him again to middle Tennes-
see IN the stirring wrestle to keep Hood
from carrying the war back to the Ohio
river, while Sherman was off to the sea,
Both Opdycke and his old regiment were
at home on the new theater They had
skirmished around Franklin, and captured
and garrisoned the post, when the army
marched south in 1868. Back to Franklin,
only a days march from Nashville the
army of defense hastily retired, Hoods
veterans logging at its heels-that is. when
they were not harassing at its shoulders
and even it's head. Late in the afternoon of
the Both Of November the brigade saw the
army within the Notifications south of the
town and went a little way back from'the
front breastworks to take a breathing
spell, which the men had earned by servs
ing as rear guard on the march that day
Opdycke had no orders except to rest his
troops. The soldiers were getting ready
their suppers or munching raw rations
when the breastworks they had just
marched by were carried by a lightning
rush of the Confederates, who then were
DIT Guelr ueelS. 4ue men luStluCVlVely
threw down their handouts of bread and
pork and took up their weapons.
The moment the men in gray were seen
swarming and shooting on the line where
they had no business to be, Opdycke's
commands rang out as calmly and clear
cut as though he had rehearsed them
though surely no such combination of or
ders had ever been called for heretofore
First brigade, fall in! Charge bayonets!
Double quickn' were the words
Opdycke rushed to do his part, squirting
his horse toward the point and shooting
right and left with his revolver. After
emptying the chambers he dubbed the
weapon, and after breaking the barrel from
the handle on the head of some luckless
grayjacket who had got too far on the
wrong side of the dividing line, he jumped
from his horse and took a musket from
some wounded soldier and struck this way
and that until he stood at the works sur
rounded by his men.
It was not soon over. There We're two
or three hours of the hardest, hottest hand
to-hand work ever known on a battlefield,
and Gen, Thomas. for whose concern and
glory it all was, said to Opdycke, Your
brigade saved the army ut Franklin and
saved Nashville"
And now for the tragic finale of the briF
liant soldiers career. Opdycke became a
warm friend of the opulent banker George
Opdyke, New York's war mayor, and
moved to the metropolis after the war. He
was killed by the accidental discharge of
pistol which he was cleaning. Thiswas in

clanbered up the vessels sides were beaten
Oft by blows, stabs or shots. The small
carronades and swivel guns on the beats
pounded away at the ribs of the Yankee
wherever there was u clear space, and at
the same time the men in the boats fired
their muskets and blunderbusses into the
ranks of defenders along the bulwarks of
the privuteer. EARLY in the action all Of
Reid's lieutenants were hit The senior
was dead, with a bullet through the fore
head Many Of the sealnen were hit also,
and the Yankee fire began to slaclsen, par
ticularly on the forecastle.
Then Reid gathered up the spare men
aft and led them forward with wild bat

musket balls into the thickcst ranks of

The boats hauled off-all but two that were
manned with dead men only-and drifted
helplessly on the pillows. Che boat that
got away carried but four survivors, and
the lieutenant commanding saved his life
by jumping into tho water. Some of the
boats floated ashore, their oarsmen having
succumbed on the way back or deserted
their grim charges of dead and dying ship
mates.
The General Armstrong received her
share of punishment. The Long Tom had
jumped from her berth and several gun
carriages We're broken. The remainder of
the night was passed on board in righting
things for fresh action on the morrow
The British commander was deaf to the
entreaties of the Portuguese governor to
cease hostilities, and swore to have the pri-
vateer it he had to knock down the town
in bombarding her. Reid sent his wound
ed ashore and at daylight his ablebodied
men were ag;sin at the guns.
The brig Carnation took the lead, as on
the evening before, but with different tao
tics She opened with full broadsides at
close range, but hauled off after receiving
a shot from the Long Tom in her hull and
several wounds in her rigging and masts
Reid saw that defense would be useless if
the enemy persisted, and that the bonn
bardment was endangering the town.
where many British shots took effect.
The schooner was scuttled and aban-
doned by his orders and the enemy soon
boarded and fired her, putting an end to a
vessel that had left many a mark on the
crack men-o'-war Of the kings navy.
The General Armstrong had been in
commission from the outbreak of the war,
and every cruise had been noted for daring
encounters with armed Britishers. She
was a fighting privateer Her first ex-
plot was to drive on shore ship of 90
guns. She afterward captured three valu-
able armed vessels and made prize of the
ship Queen, with nearly 100000, but lost
her by wreck in a storm.
The Queen was CALAMITY defended and
her captain, first officer and o of the

This term might be applied to Stevens
Point, located on the Wisconsin Central
Lines, at the gateway to the vast forest
region which extends north to Lake
Superior, distance of 300 miles without
a break, on account of its vast lumber
interests. The Wisconsin River to
which the lumbermen have given the
familiar and somewhat affectionate title
of i" Old Wiscons," not alone acts as
lumber feeder to the city by furnishing
through its numerous tributaries an out
let for thousands Of acres of pine in the
upper country, but it furnishes a water
that is second only to that of Neenah
and Menasha, which cities are also locat..
ed on the Central. Millions of feet OF
lumber are cut every year, giving employ

other manufactures; it is where the large
