new life, new hopes, new aspira-
tons and increased efforts to
furnish to the world the products
of this great country. Leaving
Denver we reach Union district.
In this we find Col. Chas. White
busy enclosing his place with
fencing which enhances the value
of the place.
Waving fields of grain on
either side of the road, here, give
promise of a harvest sufficient to
supply all demands for man and
beast. Much hay has been cut
in this vicinity. Mr.. SETH
JONES, Sen, is building. nice
residence which adds greatly to
the beauty and utility of the
place. We observed considera-
BILE land plowed ready for fall
sowing. Mr.. RoB'T WALKER has
eighty acres of wheat sown which
illustrates the Importance of fall
sowing. Mr.. WALKER is also
building fine residence, having
completed fine large barn.
The timber on Mr.. WIcKHAm's is
in thrifty and growing condi-
ton and is a relief to the eye af-
ter gazing on the Prairie scenery
so long. The miles of hay fields
and the fields of standing grain
in the Three Mile neighborhood
gives evidence OF the energy and
thrift to be found among the
farmers of this vicinity. We
saw some pieces of land that had
been summer fal1owed and then
sown in the spring; this remind
ed us that we need in this coun-
try some good variety OF winter
wheat that is popular al ike with
the farmers and millers. Evident
ly time is approaching when we
must adopt the system of sum-
mer following when better
quality and larger yield per
acre will be realized. The citi-
zens of Fairview have evinced
their public spirit by erecting
new fence and hitching rack
around the school house and they
contemplate building new
school house in the near future.

OBSERVATIONS.

After reading the glowing de-
scription given by the Free Press
of the country near Cottonwood,
doubtless no one could look upon
the scenes described with any
less degree Of admiration than
that which filled the writer, of
the article referred to. Soon af-
ter leaving Cottonwood, the eye
is greeted with a view of the new
and fourishing town of Denver
rising up in the midst of the
Prairie, almost like a phantom
SO little one would expect to see
a town, unless previously APP
prised of its existence; as one
approaches nearer to the town
and counts the new buildings
that have gone up this summer
and those in course of construc-
ton, he is led to conclude that
somebody is prospecting even
during these hard times.
In contemplation of the near

ful men; half way up the hill
more abandoned wagons and two
or three dying horses; at its
crest a caisson and more spoils
for the enemy.
HALT Here we check them
againD
The guns are planted and the
infantry positioned, and we can
see that the highway clear back
to the swamp is mass of NOV
ing men. Thirty to one, perhaps,
but we must fight. 1t is only
when they overflow into the for
est and field and are on our
TANKS that the guns are limbered
up and we fall back. We have
given them another heap of dead
to bury, but, alasl we dare not
stop to count our own loss.
Across a plain for half mile,
past a farmhouse and it's barns
and orchard, and the highway
turns to the left and enters the
forest. We halt at the turn.
There is just time to draw a long
breath when the head of the
wild beast, scenting our bloody
footprints, comes into view.
Our shells scream down the dus-
ty highway and mingle blood
with dust. They rend and tear
and MAIN and kill, but the liv-
ing wall is not checked. Then
grape and canister whirl and
whistle and scream, and the
muskets Of our infantry blaze
and crackle, but we cannot stem
the tide. Even as we are ready
to fall back one of our guns is
dismounted, and we must help
the horses draw away the other.
There are more dead and wound
ed--only skeleton command to
stagger back and look for another
position,
Here the highway leaves the
woods and ascends strong hill.
The afternoon has waned, and
the sun is disappearing. Half
way up the hill the last horse
falls in his tracks, and we drag
the gun and its caisson up by
hand. 1t is our last stand.
The army is safe and can ask no
more of us. AS we bind up each
others hurts we can hear the
foe cheering down the road.
Five minutes later the last shell
is fired. There is no more grape,
no more canister. Gun and
caisscn are overturned into the
ditch. We hold the hill for ten
with fire of musketry
which leaps up against the even
ing sky like a great bonfire, and
then there comes a sudden ST.
lence. We have the order to re-
treat. Leaving the wounded to
curse and groan and pray, leav-
ing the dead to grow cold as the
red sunset fades away like shad-
ows into the night, and like
shadows we are swallowed up
and lost to view. We were

An army corps is an anomaly
1t will charge into the face q

man will obey like machine
No man knows what fear is
That is because it is at least
holding its ground, if not gain
ing something. Let the order

panicy feeling observed at once.

de was there to die. To stay
was to be killed. He could fear
death only in running away, 1t
wasn't that he was running away
to save his life, but from some
menace which he could feel and
yet not understand. An army
of 10000 men bravely pushing
ahead and feeling victory in the
air will leave its dead at every
wall and fence and creek and on
every slope, aud cheer and cheer
as it pushes on. The same army
if withdrawn for any reason will
be so worked up inside of half an
hour that the bursting of a shell
will break the formation of a
whole brigade,
1t is the rear guard general
looks to with deepest concern
when compelled to withdraw in
the face of the foe. 1t is the post
OF honor for some one seeking
death. 1t is the place of all to
try the nerves of the oldest vet
Grams. A victorious army is iu-
bilant and aggressive. A defeat
ed one is nervous and fearful.
The rear guard steps in between
the wolf and its prey. It must
retreat, but it must fight as it
falls back. There will be dead
men, but they will not even be
moved aside to escape the wheels.
The. wounded may be placed in
fence corners or dropped into the
bitches, but there will be no time
for gentleness.
Here we swing into the main
road up which the last hurrying,
struggling company has disap-
peared. There is a swamp and
a long causeway between US and
the enemy's advance. Up the
road they are trying to save the
wagon train. We must give
them half an hour. First comes
the enemy's cavalry. Our two
guns are planted to sweep the
marrow road, and never a man
lives to get within pistol shot.
Then he pushes forward a col
umn OF infantry. They fill the
road and overflow into the
swamp where ooze and water are
hip deep. We shell them-we
change to grape and canister
we fill the black waters of the
swamp with dead men. But
there are 5000 men forming that
living moving WALL, 900 of us.
They push forward their artil-
lery. Their infantry creep for
ward from tree to tree, from
bush to bush to bush, and we
are driven. 1t is either retreat
or humiliation, We leave our
dead and wounded and fall back.
The enemy cheers again as lie
advances, and we turn and fire
, and push on again. Here are
wounded men sitting by the
roadside or lying at full length

government, who have to make ali the
drawings necessary for the various build
,ings. In Richmond all this work fs done
by contractors under the supervision OF
the City Engineer and the remuneration
is paid respectively for the respective
work.
The Finance Committee appropriated the
sum of S2S, 600 for the construction OF the
Central School building, an amount hardly
sufficient for the erection of a school
house which meets all requirements
When the question OF having the plans
for the building drawn was being con-
sldered. Colonel Cutshaw suggested that
In order to save money. the work be given
to q competent man, who, however, was
not a regular architect. This has been
done on several previous occasions, and
i'm each case the party selected has given
entire satisfaction.
In this instance Mr.. Calvin Whitley,
a civil engineer, was selected. who made
a set of thirteen different drawings, which
proved to be very satisfactory. For his
labor he charged the sum of $3.50.
II is customary for architects to charge
8 per cent. for the drawing of plans, and
per cent. II they are to superintend
the construction Of a building. If the
drawing Of the plans for the Central build
ing had been given to a regular architect,
the city would have been compelled TO
pay for the same the sum Of $40.
