ginia than the Jews had with the Samari-
tane.
For half century before the war, these
people had chafed under uni inst legislative
exactions of the slaveholding power. And,
when the vote was submitted to send dele
gates to (secession) convention at Rich
mOnd, their voice was overwhelmingly in
favor of remaining in the Union of their
fathers. But the delegates, in spite of their
instructions, voted the State out of the
Union; well-grounded fears of displeasure
at their action lent wings to the agitators of
secession, and this peaceful valley was i'm
mediately overrun with fire-eating stump
speakers and recruiting officers.
The people were told their State had Sc
coded from the Union and Fort Sumter had
fallen an easy prey. Strains of martial music
and the tramp of "men at arms" together
with appeals for volunteering and threats Of
an immediate draft if they refused to enlist.
All this, coupled with an increasing cry of
that damnable doctrine, You must go with
your State" caused hundreds of young men
fathers and cast their lot in cause that was
so phenomenal that If won would have been
infinitely worse than if lost.
Kind reader, are you prepared to say that
you would have acted differently under
similar circumstances, and to think that
these people should be selected to suffer
vicariously by the avenging hand of free
dOm's army "?-JoHN Ii. CoNNELL, Second

CHARLOTTESVILLE.

Another Protest Against Col. HamIin's Re-
marks About the Third Corps.
= THINK every member of Birney's Di-
vision ought to thank Comrade Hatha-
- way, LIST Mass, for his prompt aud
vigorous repulse of Col. Hamlin, of the
Eleventh Corps, in his apparent attempts to
injure the reputation of Sickles and Birney.
That portion of the Eleventh Corps did not
act right at Charlottesville May 2 is be-
yond question now, as it is abundantly
proved by not only plenty of eyewitness
in the ranks, but by Swinton, Dodge, Double
day, Couch, Sckles, Warren, Birney, Hooker,
and, lastly, Gen. Howard, its commander.
But the trouble with that corps was not
cowardice; it was because they were found
by the enemy in such condition as no
troops had a right to be in at such a time
and place, and the commanding officers of
the corps are more culpable than the men.
But none of them can take refuge under the
plea that they were ignorant that something
extraordinary was going on in their front
which demanded extraordinary vigilance
They could not have been more poorly pre-
pared to meet the enemy if they had been in
their own camps where they started from at
the commencement of the campaign, and
when Col. Hamlin, or any other man who
undertakes to write history Of that most
mysterious of all battles. undertakes to
purge the Eleventh Corps's record by calling
in question the conduct or courage OF the old
Third Corps, he is taking very wrong
course.
That the Third Corps encountered some
thing more than phantoms their loss will
abundantly prove. Four thousand one hum
bred and nineteen killed and wounded is
quite respectable showing for q corps
which encountered only trees and got scared
at their own shadows.

Increasing the Speed of Ships.

Realizing the great resistance which is offer
ed to swift vessel in forcing its way through
the water, British engineer has contrived an
apparatus for lessening this water opposition
In studying the subject it occurred to this gen.
tleman that if the water was broken before it
reached the bows there would be less resistance
to overcome, and the power required would be
reduced.
In order to effect this disruption of the water
he has constructed plate-iron casing, follow
ing in outline the form of the bows, and which
Is perforated with holes directed upward to-
ward the ship. This casing is attached to the
bows of the vessel a short distance in front, so
as to leave space between the casing and the
ship for the water to discharge itself In adj
vancing forward the casing would divide the
water, which would rush through the perfora-
tions, and would thus be broken up in advance
of the ship, as the vessel would not encounter
an unyeding mass of water.
The inventor holds that the resistance to be
overcome would be greatly reduced and the
power required to drive the ship very small as
compared with her speed.

THE SAUNDERS RAID.
An Ohio Light ArtiIleryman Corrects Col

An Ohio Light Artil1eryman Corrects Com
rade X. G. Rankin.
TN the issue of May II l notice an arti-
Gle from Capt. r. c. Rankin, 7th Ohio
- Cav, in which he critcizes COmrade
G. Morgan's statements as to the COM
position Of the command making the famous
Saunders raid into East Tennessee in June,
1863. The Captain is correct as to the per-
sonnet of the expedition, as the 55th Ind.
was not in it," But Comrade Rankin needs
correcting, too. The force, as it left Mount
Vernon, KY, numbered 1920 men, instead
of 800. / wrote detailed account of the
expedition in the issue of Aug. &C. 1888,
think, and it occupied almost page Of that
paper.
We did not "brush the enemy away from
Childer's Cap" but after defeating force
sent by Pegram from the Cum berland River
in Kentucky, in POwell's Valley, the COM
mand commenced the ascent of one of the
Hottest peaks of the Cumberland Range in
Tennessee, about SHUTDOWN, leading our
horses through underbrush and over bowl
ders until near midnight, when we reached
the summit. We destroyed our artillery in
the foothills before we reached PowelPs
River.
When the command got to the top Of the
mountain it was dis0rganized and almost
famished for want of water. The writer
offered So for drink of water. Every
canteen had long since been emptied, but
after descending on the west side to the
Cumberland plateau, we found very
weak spring, around which had gathered
hundreds of famished men, struggling to
get a drink of muddy water. Comrades,
do you remember that night? l think
you do.
Again, Comrade Rankin says, Battery DIS
two guns fired three Shots" We fired as
fast as we could serve the guns for fully 90
minutes. We blew up casson, killing
Capt McClury and others at the Summit
Hill" battery, as stated by the comrade.
The Summit battery made it hot for us as
we were crossing the pine clearing to take
position. The grapeshot fell like hail
around us but once in position with our
little three-inch rifed Rodmans, it was
quickly silenced.
While the expedition did not break the
back bone of the rebellion, it crippled COM
munication between Richmond and the
southwest for a time. Gen. III. S. Saunders
was promoted to the rank of Brigadier-Gen-
erai in recognition of his services on that
occasion. He was subsequently killed at
Knoxville while opposing Longstreet's in
vestment of the city in November, 1868.
Thus passed away another hero and patriot.
