Wet Weather Producing Object
Lessons and Causing Agita-
ton.
The unusually wet weather that has
prevailed the past four weeks has served
to give new stimulus to the agitation Of
the road question. From all sides com
plants are coming in concerning the
highways which are in wretched condi-
tion. Not only does this state of affairs
exist in the city but also throughout the
county, The country roads are many of
them abominable and the people are get
ting very tired of splashing around in the
mud and mire. The demand is increasing
for action looking toward the construction
of permanent and solid roads. The people
are beginning to realize that good roads in
the county mean increased prosperity to
say nothing of the decrease in the pro-
family incident to travelling upon poor
ones. Some systematic plan should be
adopted at once and put in operation for
the building of the proper thorough fares
Many are looking for great
benefit to come from the workhouse in
this regard, where stone will be broken
for use on the roads, but this in itself will
not be sufficient for the needs of the
county. Considerable can be accom- plish-
ed by the criminals in breaking stone but
there are other features of the road build
ing question that must be met and deter
mined. Proper gradingis as essential as
good material for a road and concerted
and systematic plan should be brought
forth for the whole county and work COM
menced at once. Let the important roads
of the county be graded and built up with
good broken stone and the money that is
uselessly squandered in piling sod aud
mud in the center of the highways would
keep good roads in proper repair and pay
for the whole cost of construction in less
than ten years.

A RECKLESS CHARGE AT BUcKToN STATION
called upon his men to follow and rode
over fences and bitches up the embank
ment, relying upon saber and pistol to cope
with rifle and bayonet. Three times the
charge was repeated and two Of Ashby's
captains fell by his side before he gave uT
the contest.
The remainder of the campaign, 10 dis
astrous to Banks, was an inglorious one
for Ashby's cavalry. For some reason the
men, with few exceptions, fought on their
own hook and but handful rallied around
their leader to follow up and harass Banks
retreating column.
When, in turn, jackson made his retreat
up the valley few days later to anticipate
Fremont's column that was threatening
the rear, while Gen. Shields pressed the
Confederate front, Ashby made a skillful
defense with the rear guard One day n

stampede the cavalry and infantry Of the
guard with volley Of well aimed shells
This stroke was followed up by charge
of Union cavalry, which Ashby repulsed
by personally leading small ambush
party made up of stragglers that lowered
in the wake of the column.
In an affair Of this kind Ashby ended his
career at Harrisonburg, June6 Fremonts
advance, under Gen. George D. Bayard
was pressing Ashby's guard closely, and
the leading detachment was successfully
ambushed and its leader, Col Percy Wyud
ham, captured Col. Kane's Pennsylvania
Bucktails were behind Wyndham. and
Ashby laid another ambush for them, aud
with two infantry regiments attempted "a
strike the Union column in the flank.
Kane's men, however, delivered the first
fire, and Ashby, who bravely rode at the
head of his men, was shot down almost in
stantly. So it was with him rs with his
chieftain, Stonewall; with "Jeb' Stuart

Jackson began a sharp campaign in the
extreme winter weather of December and
January, Ashby's cavalry bearing the
brunt, making forced marches in snow so
deep that the horses had to be led and
striking right and left until their enemy
was driven across to Maryland, the railway
and canal west of Hancock, Md, being cut
and closed against Union traffic.
The campaign of 1862 opened at Win
chester in March, when Banks army began
it's historic advance and retreat" in the
Shenandoah. Ashby took two companies
of his own regiment and skirmished with
Banks advance until it entered the town
His passion for seeing what was taking
place within the enemy's lines led him to
linger behind when his troopers fell back
and on attempting to regain his command
he found his way blocked by two men, and
a large hostile force on either flank push
ing far in advance of him. lie rode quietly
up to within a few PAGES of the men, then
put spurs and dashed on them ut Il gallop
shooting one and dragging the other along
by main force to the Confederate lines.
This kind of personal daring had "a charm
for the actors in the early scenes Of the
war 1t was such recklessness of danger
that made Ellsworth a hero, immortalized
young Winthrop at Big Bethel, crowned
the name of Lyon with laurels in the west
and made Phil Kearny the idoliZed war
god of the hour. Such deeds-and there
were scores of them during Ashby's short
career, could he possibly have survived the
perils-would in time have placed him
beside Forrest and Custer as leader of
daring attacks.
StOnewall's methods, however, called for
other qualities in cavalry commander
and in carrying out his chieftain's policy
to always mystify, mislead and surprise
the enemy" Ashby was us cunning AZ he
was reckless at other times. In Jackson's
one disastrous battle, Kernstown. March
%, 1862, Ashby played mastery game
All day on the 22d he skirmished with his
enemy, Shields, drawing him farther and
farther from his supports. On the 23d
jackson had his infantry on the field and
the battle opened. Ashby was stationed in
front of the Union right wing with
meager force of cavalry, four infantry com
panies and one battery. Jackson led the
main body of his infantry against the
Union right and was bloodily repulsed
Ashby held his own and covered Jackson's
retreat
Soon after the Kernstown fight jackson
learned that an army under Fremont was
moving On MS rear from w est ' lTBlnld
with the purpose of entrapping him between
two foes-one from the lower and one from
the upper elsl of the valley. AS he was not
strong enough to cope with both, he re
solved to disappear with part of his troops,
go around Fremont's column and head it
off, then turn against Banks, who was on
