wounded 1000 men; but the other 2, 600
swept forward, dashed over the earth
works and were driven like wedge
into the Federal flank. II was the cli-
max. Beaten but not panic stricken,
the men In blue fell back step by step,
fighting over every foot of the ground,
and ut length they rested on a new
line. Mcclellan alone knew that he
was beaten. He alone realized what
world result. That great army, only a
portion of which had been driven, must
retreat TO new line and new base
of supplies. Jackson's coming from the
valley and placing himself on tbe flank
had imperiled the fate of the nation.
Like the strategist he was. Mcclellan
assumed much, concealed much. While
be brought up fresh troops to hold the
victorious enemy at bay he issued orders
for retreat.
For weeks and weeks stores had been
accommodating in rear OF that grand
army. There were thousands Of beef
cattle. train loads Of bacon. uce. salt.

Here and there in forest and field were
great heaps of forage for the animals,
and here and there great heaps of fixed
ammunition for cannon or musket.
There was the value OF millions of dol
lars lying about, and nearly all must
be sacrificed. Withdrawal meant re-
treat. Retreat meant that Lee and
jackson would assume the aggressive
and seek to utterly annihilate the Fed
eral army.
The work of destruction began almost
before the cheers of Hoods Texans had
died away. Whole regiments were de-
tailed for the work. The cattle could
be drivM away. A part Of the most
valuable stores could be hauled off. 1t

light in obeyine. The heaps of dour,
meat and clothing were given up to the
flames, and as the heavens were lighted
by the midnight fires people on the
house roofs in Richmond believed the
green forests TO be tercely blazing.
Never had general more to sacrifice
that he might be stripped for fight;
never was the hand of destruction more
ruthlessly applied. A night was not
sufficient. All next day while those in
battle line held the enemy at bay thou

within month was mending and really
better than before the grip first made my

And now, when tired from brain work or
business cares, take a wine glass of celery
compound on going to bed, and wake in the
morning refreshed and fit to begin again

lions that infest the day.
My wife, who is not wholly free from the
ills inherent in womankind, manages, with
my help, to consume the contents of about a
half-dozen bottles of the compound year,
to the great benefit of her health and my
happiness. 1t ought to be understood that
celery compound is as grateful to the
palate as good and wholesome wine while
it is more invigorating and lasting in its
effects than any vintage of the fruit of the
genus Wits. j. IL. LIVINGSTON.

GOVERNOR WAITE of Colorado has issued
proclamation forbidding entrance into
that state from Utah of all sheep unless ac-

resist their movements. They have ruined
the grazing lands in Utah and Nevada, and
the approaching herds would also ruin the

VERMONT SWEETNESS

Distributed Among Members of the Ma

JUDGE H. II. POWERS has been making
congressman happy of late by presenting
them with quart bottles of pure Vermont
maple honey. The southern members es-
pecially declared that they never before
knew what maple syrup was. Doubtless
Judge Powers had an eye to business and
possibly his gifts may induce southern
members to assent in giving maple sugar
makers the protection they need in the legs-
