A POSTMASTER'S POINT.
w. W. Cole, of Sabula, Turned the Tables on
Popocratic Speakers by Quoting Garfield.
Dubois Pa Courier.1


| Dubois Pa Courier.l
| As you are doubtless aware there vas Popo
crat or Silver meeting here last evening, ad
dressed by gentleman from Bsllefonte and
| Mr.. Heron, of Dubois.
| Both of the speakers in their argument used
| the sayings of the late lamented James A. Gar
| field, Abraham Lincoln, and Charles Sumner
The Bellefonte mans frequent reference to the
former aroused the ire of Postmaster W. w.
Cole, who retired from the hall to his office,
secured copy of the Dubois Courier of the
10th inst, and returned with blood in his eye
and vengeance in his heart. After both were
through speaking Mr.. Cole asked permission OF
the Chairman to read a little relative to Mr.
Garfeld's position. Consent was given, and
Mr.. Cole read "Garfeld's Warning" deliv-
cred by the late President in 1876 in opposi-
ton to the free coinage of silver. When he
finished the h0use was in an aproar, and the
audience went wild.
The Belfefonte man at once jumped to his
feet and denied the words attributed to Mr.
Garfield, saying perhaps the Postmaster made
it up himself. Mr.. Heron also expressed his
disbelief in the accuracy of the utterance, and
went on with o very unsatisfactory discussion Of
the matter. The house again went wild at
these deniais, and many of the so-called silver
men in the audience went to Mr.. Cole and
patted him on the shoulder and told him he
had the best of it, and that he had confused his
opponents
The Center County man then announced
that Bellefonte had . candidate for Congress,
and urged the club to do its utmost to secure
his.election. In fact, this seems to be the chief
object of his presence at the meeting instead of
talking lucidly upon existing issues.
Mr.. Cole, by his citation, made great point
for those who believed with him and effected
the complete discontinue of the speakers

MY ORDERS AT CHEwALLA

were to rescue the wrecked trains there,
to reconnoiter westward, and estimate
the amount of damage to the railroad as
far as Grand junction, about 80 miles.
We camped our troops ON high, healthy
ground to the south of Chewalla, and
after | had personally reconnoitered the
country, details of men were made and
volunteer locomotive engineers obtained
to superintend the repairs. / found six
locomotives and about 60 cars thrown
from the track, parts of the machinery
detached and hidden in the surrounding
swamp, and all damaged as much by
fire as possible. 1t seems that these
trains were inside of Corinth during
the night of evacuation, loading up
with all sorts of commissary stores,
ETC., and about daylight were started
west; but the cavalry-picket stationed
at the Tuscumbia bridge had, by mis-
take or panic, burned the bridge be-
fore the trains got to them. The trains,
therefore, were caught, and the engi-
neers and guards hastily scattered the
stores into the swamp, and disabled the
trains as far as they could before our
cavalry had discovered their critical
situation. The weather was hot, and the
swamp fairly stunk with putrid flour
and fermenting sugar and molasses. /
was so much exposed there to the hot
sun, pushing forward the work, that l
got touch of malariaI fever, which
hung on ME for month, and forced me
to ride two days in an ambulance, the
only time | ever did such a thing during
the whole war. By the 7th l reported
to Gen. Halleck that the amount of
work necessary to re-establish the rail-
road between Corinth and Grand June
ton was so great that he concluded not
to attempt its repair, but to rely on the
road back to Jackson, Tenn, and for
ward to Grand Junction; and I was
to move to Grand junction, to
take up the repairs from there toward
Memphis.

and were we'll pleased at tie handsome
manner in which the troops behaved.
That night we began the usual intrench-
ments, and the NEXT day brought forward
the artillery and the rest of the division,
which then extended from the Mobile &
! Ohio Railroad at Bowie Hill Cut to the
Corinth and Pnrdyiroad, there connecting
with Huribut's Division. That night, viz,
May 20, we heard unusual sounds in Cor
inth, the constant whistling of locomotives,
and soon after daylight occurred series
of explosions, followed by dense smoke
rising high over the town. There was
a telegraph line connecting my Head
quarters with those of Gen. Halleck,
about four miles off, on the Hamburg
road. l inquired if he knew the cause
OF the explosions and of the smoke, and
he answered to "advance with my di-
vision and feel the enemy if still in my
trout" [ Immediately dispatched two
regiments from each of my three bri-
gades to feel the immediate front, and
IN very short time advanced with the
whole division. Each brigade found the
rebel parapets abandoned, and pushed
straight for the town, which lies in the
northeast angle of intersection of the
Mobile q Ohio and Memphis & Charles
ton Railroads. Many buildings had
been burned by the enemy on evacua-
ton, which had begun the night before
at p. M, and continued through the
night, the rear-guard burning their mag
azine at the time of Withdrawing, about
daybreak. Morgan L. Smiths Brigade
followed the retreating rear-guard some
four miles to the Tuscumbia Bridge,
which was found burned. 1 halted the
other brigades at the college, about
mile to the southwest of the town, where
L was overtaken by Gen. Thomas in
person.
The heads of all the columns had
entered the rebel lines about the same
time, and there was same rather foolish
ciamor for the first honors, but in fact
there was no honor in the event.

sued by cavalry from Gen. Pope's flank.
But he reached Tupelo, where he halted
for reorganization and there is no doubt
that at the moment there was much dis
organization in his ranks, for the woods
were full of deserters whom we did not
even take prisoners, but advised them to
make their way home and stay there.
We spent the day at and near the col
lege, when Gen. Thomas, who applied
for orders at Halleck's Headquarters,
directed me to conduct my division back
to the camp of the night before, where
we had left our trains. The advance on
Corinth had occupied all of the month
OF May, the most beautiful and valuable
month of the year for campaigning in
this latitude. There had been little
fighting, save on Gen. Pope's left flank
about Pennington, and on our right.
