THE WHITE FEATHER.
Charley Mitchell Refuses To Slgi
Amended Articles to Fight Corbett.

Charley Mitchell Refuses to Sign
Amended Articles to Fight Corbett.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 3. The
managers of the Duval club have
come To the conclusion that they can
not pull the Corbett- Mitchell fight of
IN Jacksonville. The original articles
at Mitchell's suggestion, provided the
fight should occur within two miles
of the city of Jacksonville. The club
yesterday wished to change the
clause so as to have it read the fight
should occur within the state of
Florida The purpose of the club
was that it might agree to select a
place in the state where it was least
likely there would be interference.
When the situation of affairs was
explained to Mitchell and he was
asked to atiiX his signature to the
amended articles of agreement, he
fatty refused to sign. He said he
would never put his name to the paper
unless the site for the contest was
definitely fixed.

The First Brigade carried to the charge
three regiments and half-the 9Th Conn.
2Sth n. Y, 10th Pa, and six companies OF
the Sd Wis, of Gordon's Brigade-in all
about 1,500 men. From the reports of the
different Confederate regimental and brigade
commanders, copies of which are before me,
we learn that there were broken and dis
persed by this charge two Confederate bri-
gades of IL regiments-the 21st, AID, LIST,
4Sth, 10th, 23d, 37th, 9th and 33d Va, and

fire into lis rear; that Campbells and Talia-
fero's Brigades fell back in disorder. At
this critical moment four fresh brigades of
Branch, Windsor, Archer, and Pender came
up, and drove tire Federals back with terri
bic slaughter.
The superior numbers of "Pope's army "
alluded to were the three regiments of the
First Brigade and six companies of the Sd
Wis, of the Second Brigade, and no others.

good as Johnny under same conditions.

federate second line started for the rear.

A Both Ill. Man Refers to a Champions Hill
Incident.

A 3Oth Ill. Man Refers to a Champions Hill
Incident.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In his
Memoirs"' Gen. Grant, in his description
of the battle of Champions Hill, after tell
ing how he had repeatedly sent staff officers
to McClernand, ordering hifn to push for
ward and attack with the rest of his COM
mand, says that HOvey, still calling on him
for more reinorcements, and having none to
send him, he gave the order to move Nc
Phers0n's command by the left flank around
to Hovey, aud by d ing so uncovered the
rebel line of retreat, which was soon taken
advantage OF.
With all due respect for the memory of
Gen. Grant and knowing his superior adj
vantages for obtaining information on the
field, / cannot believe his statement that
the rebel line of retreat was uncovered,
without hearing from the Third Brigade,
Third Division, Seventeenth Corps.
This brigade was composed of the 9Th, 17ih
and goth H., 7th Mo-, and 32d Ohio, COM
manded by Gen. Stephenson, formerly Colo
mel of the 7th Mo. The brigade was the
extreme right of Gen. Grants forces, and
reached to Bakers Creek. The rebels had a
fine six-gun battery along the road, just east
of Bakers Creek bridge, facing north The
brigade made up its mind that it needed
that battery in its business, so just arched
over and took it.
When we marched across Bakers Creek
that evening, the brigade lay along the road
to all appearances just as they had halted
from the charge, and the battery was III its
original position.
Now, the point l make is this: If the
Third Brigade had been moved by the left
flank sufficient to uncover the bridge across
Bakers Creek, they would either have taken
the battery with them or have destroyed it.
The brigade was not composed of the kind
of material that, after taking battery,
would abandon it to the enemy or some of
our own forces. One company of the 32d
Ohio took charge of the battery and manned
it during the siege of Vicksburg, and was
permanently assigned to the artillery service

A Strate2ems

Once during the Iron Dukes campaign in
the Pyrenees, it happened that Gen. Picton's
dispositions for receiving the assault Of
Marshal Soult displeased him. The danger
threatened from in front, and the difficulty
lay in delaying the attack until Wellington
could effect the change he wished. He was,
as usual, equal to the occasion. Waving his
hat in the air, he galloped to the front of a
regiment as if he meant to order a charge.
The whole of Picton's line cheered tremend-
ously, and as the roar died away, Wellington
was heard to remark, half to himself:
SOult is a cautions commander, and will
not attack in force without ascertaining
the meaning of these cheers. That will
leave time for the Sixth Division to come up,
and we shall beat him."
This was exactly what happened, and
Soult sustained a bloody repulse where he
might have won an easy victory.

LIKE A LINCOLN JOKE.
A Visitor who Was Terribly Scared During
Call at the White House.
fChicag0 Tribune

A Visitor who Was Terribly Scared During
q Call at the White House.
GChicago Tribunel
Col. Clark E. Carr, of Galesburg, who was
Minister to Denmark under the Harrison
Administration, was in Washington one day
when Lincoln was President.
81 am going to the White House to see
Abe" said Owen Lovejoy to Carr, as they
met in front of the Treasury building. Carr
went with him. They were shown into the
Presidents working room, and soon after
Lincoln came in. He wore a long garment,
which might have been cut from a bath
room pattern or the cover of a prairie
schooner. His hair was more frOuseled than
usual, and the carpet-slippers were worn
down and without heels. The condition
and appearance of the Presidential hosiery
were such as would have made Jerry Simp-
son envious, provided the stories they told
on Jerry were true, which they never were.
The President gave his callers an Illinois
greeting and then showed up one of the
sleeves of his curious garment and pointed
out to his visitors the indamed condition of
his arm.
"You knew had the smallpox ?" said
Lincoln, in cold-blooded manner. Lovejoy
said yes, and proceeded to talk about other
matters while Carr's few hairs had inclina-
tons to stand up, and he moved about in
his chair as if it contained dynamite. The
visit over the callers passed out Once in
the air, Carr asked LovejOy:
"Did you know the President had the
smallpox when we went there?"
Certainly" was the answer.
"You id scoundrel!" shrieked Carr
why didn't you say SOP"
"Pve had it" replied Lovejoy, sand sup
posed you had"
"Well, never had it f" roared Carr; "but
if I do have it now want you to give me
certificate that / caught the disease from
Abe Lincoln. That will be something"
But Lovejoy had no occasion to do so, as
Lincoln had the variOloid only.
