Almost Like Jonah.

I've had some experience myself"
said an old sailor. but two years ago /
camo the nearest taking after Jonah that
a man ever did. We had made strike
all right and the whale went down, not
very far, but when he came up he had
his mouth open, and somehow or other
he came up with one jaw on the port
and the other on the lee side Of our boat.
Surprised? Well, that whale looked very
much as if he was ready to receive com
pany, but wasn't invited, so l made a

Meade at Gettysburg.


The recent Gettysburg reunion b as
revived discussion of the history oil
that great battle, particularly with
reference to the management of the
Federal side of the struggle. It is
now well known that if Meade had
followed up his success he could have
captured or annihilated Lees whole
army and thus practically ended the
war. The Confederates expected a
counter attack Immediately after the
repuse of Pickett on the third day
and prepared as we'll as they could
to meet it. That was what they had
a right to anticipate as the logic of
the situation, and they would not
have been disappointed if Grant i'm
stead of Meade had been in command.
The Federal army was badly injured,
to be sure, but it was still stronger
than The opposing force, and the
CHARGES were all IN its favor. There
is some force in the contention that
Meade had reason to be satisfied with
what he had accomplished, and that
he was not ware of the advantage
that he possessed by reason of the
enemy's scant supply of ammunition;
but the fact remains that he lost a
splendid opportunity by negIecting
to do what ordinary military sagacity
should have dictated. He won a
magnificent victory, but he might
have made it the conclusive one of
the war. There is good evidence to
the effect that he did not want to fight
at Gettysburg at all, and that he
would have retreated on the second
day but for the unanimous opposition
of the subordinate commanders,
from which it is easy to understand
why he failed to do more than he did.
Itdoes not appear that any effort
was made to ascertain what Lee was
doing or where he had gone after the
close of the battle. As a matter of
fact, he was compelled to linger sew
eraI days within easy striking dis
lance on account of the difficulty of
crossing the swollen river. If he had
been attacked at any time during
that necessary delay, his surrender
would have been the inevitable result.
But he was not disturbed, much to
his surprise and qualification. He
built bridges and got the last Of his
men out of the precarious situation
without any interference. Meade
could have hurled fresh force OF at
least 10000 upon him while he waited
there; and it must always be won
der why such action was not taken.
The explanations that have been
given of the singular lack of military
energy which thus permitted beaten
army to escape when it might have
been captured, all involve certain
measure OF blame for the man who
was directly responsible. Meade was
brave aud devoted officer, and his
name will ever be gloriously ASSOCIATE
ed with the triumph at Gettysburg;
but history must say of him, never
theless, that he blundered terribly in
not making a pursuit that would
surely have destroyed Lees army
and materially shortened the war.
This is the opinion of all competent
military critics. 1t does not imply

that he purposely neglected an i'm
portant duty, bat it does signify that
he missed supreme chance, which
would have been improved by a man
like Grant, and that his fame as a
soldier must always be discounted ac>
cordlnglY, in spite of the fact that he
achieved one of the greatest victories
of modern times.
The above is an editorial from The
Globe Democrat. AS will be observed
the editor of that paper compliments
General Grant in the highest terms.
We would not detract from that gem
eral any merited fame that he enjoy
ed as commander. but instead of
being military genius the victories
won by Grant were owing more to
circumstances than to superior gener-
alship. Had Albert Sidney Johnston's
life been spared a few hours longer
during the battle of Shiloh, Grant
would not have succeeded to the po-
sition as commander of the army of
the Potomac. In that battle the
forces commanded by Grant are es>
timated at ninety thousand, while
those commanded by Johnston is said
to have numbered sixty thousand,
still when that great commander,
Albert Sidney Johnston, breathed his
last, Grants army was beaten, and
many of his troops were demolished.
Some of them had thrown down their
guns and congregated on the banks
OF the Tennessee river, probably
hoping for the parting of the waters
so that they, like the children of
Isreal, might pass over dry -shod and
get beyond the reach of Johnston's
victorious army. The Intervention
preventing the necessity of capit~
ulation cannot be attributed to the
superior military sagacity of the eu-
logized Grant, but solely to the death
of Johnston. for if he had lived Grants
army would have been captured be-
fore Buell. could possibly have come
to his relief. lis true that Lee sur
rendered to Grant, but not until his
forces were outnum bered four to
one. Lees surrender was the nat
uraI result of being overpowered by
numerical strength, because of the
South not being so fortunate as the
North in having the whole world to
draw recruits from. This alone is
the secret of the success of the North
ern arms.

Strawberries in West Tennessee.

DLEdW pSEIIbS III W6Sl 16uu6SaO0s
AS this is the season for this deli
cious fruit we thinksit a good time to
speak of the wonderful possibilities
of the strawberry and its culture as
money crop. The first attempt to
grow strawberries for market in West
Tennessee was made by Mr.. j. w.
Rosaman in 1867, near Gadsden,
Tenn. Since that time the acreage
has yearly increased, until in the
spring of 1862, there were 1892
acres, in strawberries, making a
yield of 115, 431 crates shipped, and
besides those sold otherwise. These
berries net the producer about 80
cents per crate and a yield will run
from so to 200 crates per acre. We
mention this that our farmer friends
may compare a crop of this kind with
that of corn or cotton as money crop.
We have in Giles county the very
best soil and location for growing
berries and small fruits and with
proper atten ton these crops can be
grown and made much more profta-
BILE than any crop we now have, be-
sides furnishing our farmers with
money at time when we know they
are more pressed than at ANY other
season. There is a market for any
thing you have to sell just as soon as
there is surplus; and couple of
acres in strawberries will pay twice
the profit of double the quantity of
cotton at no greater cost and bring
the cash in less than half the time.
More berries grown means more
fruits, cheaper living and more money
to the farmer and better health to
all classes. Pulaski Citizen.
