1t was equally great and in only TWEEN

CHAPTER r. "..
The day aud date is the 2fst of July,
1851.
Tho scene is the battle-ground of first
Bull Run, field made memorable for
ever.
From daybreak to high noon the Fed
eral army under Mcdowell has been
moving down on the Confederate posi-
tion selected weeks ago by the generals
old in the strategy of war. On the fanks
brigades have grappled in the open
fields, regiments have dashed at each
other in the forests and thickets. Here
little ground has been gained, there a
little lost. 1t has been the skirmishing
which precedes every battle, locating the
enemy testing his readiness, drawing
his strength and uncoyering his designs.
The hour is high noon. The Confed-
crate front has been pressed back, the
left wing shattered. Men looking down
on the battlefield f,om the hills of Cen
terville have every movement in plain
view. AT 19 o'clock the battle is won
for the Federals. Bee, Barstow and
Evans, who have held the Confederate
center, have been beaten back by Burn
side, Sykes and Porter. They give way
slowly and grudgingly, fighting as they
break back, and they are trying to rally,
when there is a clatter of bayonets be-
ing fixed to muskets, and a thousand
men rush forward at the double quick.
1t is the New York Twenty seventh, and
Colonel Slocum leads it, the first bayonet
charge of the war Forward! For
ward" And the wedge drives into the
Confederate center and rolls the frag-
ments right and left.
The cheering is heard mile away
above tho noise Of battle. The Federal
center moves forward to pursue the shat
tered enemy, and couriers ride away
with the news, 1--WE have pierced the
Confederate centor and won the dayv'
Behind the flying Confederates is a
plateau Of 800 acres, comprisina two or
three farms. There are two or three
farmhouses, orchards, meadows, thick
cts of pine, barren fields. Here is Stone
wall jackson with ., 900 men in reserve,
Tho fragments of brigades, regiments
and companies arc hurled back to the
slopes of this plateau to be rallied
and reformed behind the reserves, Cou-
riers ride away TO Beauregard to ask for
more artillery, infantry and cavalry,
and while the Federals pause to replen-
ish their cartridge boxes and gird up
their loins for last struggle 8, 900 fresh
Confsderates are hurrying forward to
the plateau.

should the officers of the governor, who
are asserted to be responsible for the first
outbreak, be convicted by the courts they
would be pardoned by the governor, as
Elliott, one of the spies, who slapped tho
face of a woman in Charleston some time

Governor Tillman and his laws Florence

CHAPTER II.

Let us go back few weeks and con-
meet the chain of events.
The thunder Of hundred guns had
been let loose Mt Charleston, and the
south was rushing to arms. One who
has not witnessed the beginning of war
cannot comprehend the insanity of ex-
oitement which accompanies the pas
sage of each fateful day. We of the north
were delaying, hoping, trying to make
ourselves believe that war would he
arerted, though no one could tell how.
While We were delaying the south was
acting. No man in any southern COM
munity dared talk of peace. While the
north raised regiments tho south put
brigades into camp and planned cam
paign. While the north waited the
south possessed itself of fort after fort.
The streets of every city echoed the
tread of marching msn; svery village
was aroused by the music of tho fife and
drum. That generation knew nothing
of war, Men locked upon the waving
flags and ripping banners, the march
ing volunteers and the holiday attire and
said to each other:
DtH THIS III WIZ -h6u VINO uHV0
written of war have deceived us. There
is no suffering, no wounded, no dead.
Let us also join in the march,"
But historians had not deceived them.
They We're deceiving themselves. The
beginning Of war is merriment and
feast. The end is marked b" thousands
of marble headatones bearing the single
word Unknown those and Grape
and tears and desolation. 1t is O'Clock
in the afternoon of one of those never to
be forgotten spring days of 1861, re-
membered now only by gray haired
men and women. The scene is the an
cient town of Winchester, in the beau
tiful Shenandoah valley, the garden
spot of tho Old Dominion. Under cover
of wooden awning aheltering the front
of the old store and postoffice two men
are seated at table borrowed some
where for tho occasion. Ono of thom
wears the uniform of militia captain;
the other is in citizens dress and has a
list of names on paper before him.
Hear what the captain Is saying TO the
men crowding up until they stand six
or eight deep before him.

Bloodshed-Ten Thousnnd out.

Bloodshed-Ten Thousand out.
UNioNTowN, Pa, April 2.-Thc men in
thirty of the biggest plants in the coke re-
gion went on strike this morning. The
men of the FriclS works will hold meet
ing this afternoon and decide as to
whether they will join in the strike. The
memory of many bloody conflict in this
region, in connection with even less for
midabe fights than the one Mt hand, have
prepared tho people here for tho worst
to come. Some OF the most conservative,
rate the situation as not only serious, but
alarming, the mora SO on account of the
general destitution throughout the coke
country.
The leaders declare that the 10 900 who
declare today for higher wages aud greater
privileges may be made $4,000 before the
end of the week, and the Frick men are
not taken into account. The only men
who went TO work at the coke plants this
morning were the employees of the Frlck
company 1t is stated without reserva-
tion that after the other coke work crs are
out the work of compelling the Frick men
to come out will be taken in hand.
The authorities here do not attempt TO
conceal their apprehensions. The sheriff
will make strenuous efforts to protect
property and the local authorities are pre-
pairing to swear in special officers at a
minutes notice.
