pony and rode forward, stopping from time
TO time to anxiously look and listen for some
signs of her captors, or some light cleaning
from the windows, some growing of cocks,
or whinneying of horses, which would direct
her to house.
In that region only Christians and Gre
tans lived. At any house she would find
friends to help her.
At the edge of the olive grove she came to
q road, the stones of which rang clearly un-
der her pony's hoofs. She recognized it as a
fragment of the old Venetian paved highway
from Khania to Retimo, and halted there a
moment to look and listen. A mile away to
the LETT she heard the sound of other Eorses'
hoois upon the stones. A pang of fear shot
through her that it might be her captors
coming back to look for her, or to rob her
dead body. She dashed across the road into
the black shadow of the olive trees on the
other side.
light shone ont beyond the valley into
which she descended. She pressed forward
toward it, and soon was able to make out
that it came from the turreted windows Of

explained the absence of other houses in the
vicinity. for the monastery had widely
spreading lands.

Could she reach it before her pursuers, if
those hoof-beats she heard were of pursuers?
She houghtanxiously of her white garments,
which would betray her at great distance.
Every moment made her more certain that
she was being followed.
Again she sent up fervent, almost despair
ing, prayers TO the Holy Virgin Mother and
st. Titus.
In the deep darkness of the hour before
dawn she reached the dusty, hoofbeaten
waste in front of the monastery gates and
slipped, almost fainting with fatigue, from
her pony.
Exerting her will for final effort, she
gathered strength enough to Chamber up the
rude, difficult steps to the door. She groped
around for the rope, pulled it with power
that set the bell to changing, and then sank
to the ground.
Within the walls the monks had begun to
drone their morning hymn, Startled by the
BELLS loud peals, they stopped.
"Some hungry Sphakiot who wants his
breakfast" )" they said, and resumed the hymn.
Again summoning her strength, Ida rose
and pulled the rope with all her might.
The matin song was again briefly inter-
rupted. -.

under the weight, dropped them on sturdy
olive, from which they rolled down upon
copse OF laurel.
AT the place from which she fell the earth
had risen in hill within short distance OF
the level of the road along the cliff.
Astonished at her wonderful escape, Ida
sat on the ground for few minutes rear
ranging her disordered garments and wait
ing for her hurts to quit aching.
Bright hopes of escape lighted up her
mind like a flash of torch in the dark
ness.
She felt around for her pony, found the
bride, and in response to a gentle pull the
faithful beast scrambled to his feet. She
passed her hand searchingly over his body
and limbs and was reoiced to find that
apparently he had suffered nothing more
than few surface gashes and startling
shaking up.
She turned toward the road above and
listened. She heard the sound of hoo!s far
ahead. Her captors had gone on. They
could see nothing of what had become of her
from the road, and would have to go at least
league before they could descend from 1t.
She led her pony through the thickets,
down the steep slopes, toward the lower
ground. Branches and briars caught her
flowing garments and tore them, but she
pressed on with nervous haste.
At length she reached more open ground
in large olive grove. She mounted her

On the 18th of November the railroad
and telegraph communications with the
rear were broken, and the army stood
detached from all friends, dependent on
its own resources and supplies. No
time was to be lost; all the detach-
ments were ordered to march rapidly
for Atlanta, breaking up the railroad en-
route, and generally to so damage the
country as to make it untenable to the
enemy. BY the 14th all the troops had
arrived at or near Atlanta, and were,
according to orders, grouped into two
wings, the right and left, commanded,
respectively, by Maj.-Gens. o. o. How
ard and III. w. Slocum, both compara-
lively young men, but educated and ex-
perienced officers, fully competent to
their command.
The right wing was composed of the
Fifteenth Corps, Maj .-Gen. p. J. Oster-
haus commanding, and the Seventeenth
Corps Maj Frank p. Blair COM
manding.
The left wing was composed of the
Fourteenth Corps, Maj.-Gen. Jefferson
c. Davis commanding, and the Twenti-
eth Corps, Brig.-Gen. a. S. Williams
commanding.
The Fifteenth Corps had four divis-
ions, commanded by Brig.-Gens. Charles
T. Woods, w. B. Hazen, John Z. Smith,
and John NJ. Corse.
The Seventeenth Corps had three di-
visions, commanded by aj.-Gen. j. A.
Mower, and Brig-Gens. NJ. ID. Leggett
and Giles A. Smith.
Tie Fourteenth Corps had three di-
visions, commanded by Brig.-Gens. w.
p. Tarlin, James ID. Morgan, and A.
Baird.
The Twentieth Corps had also three
divisions, commanded by Brig Gems. \.

The strength of the army, as ofiiciall,

amount of stores which had accumu-
lated at Atlanta and at the other sta
tions along the railroad; and Gen.
Steedman had come down to Kingston
to take charge of the final evacuation
and withdrawal of the several garrisons
below Chattanooga.
On the 10th of November the move
ment may be said to have fairly begun.
All the troops designed for the campaign
were ordered to march for Atlanta, and
Gen. Corse, before evacuating his post
at Rome, was ordered to burn all the
mills, factories, ETC., that could be use
full to the enemy, should he undertake
to pursue us, or resume military posses
sion of the country. This was done on
the night of the 10th, and next day
Corse reached Kingston.

heard Of the arrival of Gen. A. j.
Smiths two divisions at Paducah, which
would surely reach Nashville much
sooner than Gen. Hood could possibly
do from Florence, so that he was per-
fectly satisfied with his share of the
army.

On the 18th, with full staff, |
started from Kingston for Atlanta and
about noon of that day we reached
Gainesville, and sat on the edge of
porch to rest, when the telegraph op-
orator, Mr.. Van Nalkenburg, or Eddy,

road before you for several days, and that your
success will fully equal your expectations.
GEORGE II. THOMAS, Major General.
1 answered simply: "Dispatch re-
ceived-all right" About that instant
of time, some of our men burnt
bridge, which severed the telegraph
wire, and all communication with the
rear ceased thenceforth.
As we rode on toward Atlanta that
night, / remember the raiiroad-trains
going to the rear with a furious speed;
the engineers and the few men about the
trains waving us an affectionate adieu.
1t surely was strange event-two
hostile armies marching in opposite
directions, each in the full belief that it
was achieving a final and conclusive re-
suit in great war; and was strongly
inspired with the feeling that the move
ment on our part was direct attack
upon the rebel army and the rebel
capital at Richmond, though a full
thousand miles of hostile country inter-
vened, and that, for better or worse, it
would end the war.

To return to Basil Kanaris:

Their victory secured, the Sphakiots of
Basil Kanaris's band killed some Of the
sheep for breakfast, and while the mutton
was stewing with the rice in kettles began
preparations for hasiy return to the
mountains with the stock and piunder.
They were too near the Turkish garrison at
khania to remain where they were min
ute longer than was absolutely necessary.
They had some wounded besides Basil
kanaris. One of the kavasses was killed
and two badly hurt. Nikolas, coming back
to the right to see how Basil had Jared,
found him PROSTATE from loss of blood, and
bound up his wounds and made him az COM
Portable as possible. A sure-footed, easy
going mule was secured TO carry him away.
While this was going on Ibrahim gave a
deep groan and turned a little.
Nikolas's face grew black, and he laid his
hand ON the hilt of his sword.
That viper yet alive?" he said wrath
fully. "rll make sure of him if thou didst
not"
Nay" said Basil, imperiously. "Touch
him not. Again say he is mine. No other
hand than mine shall harm him. Give him
and his wounds the same tending that thou
didst me and mine"
g. will sink into hell before / touch him,
except to kill him." said Nikolas, deter
minedly.
Then call hither one of his kavssses, and
bid him attend to him. Let him stanch the
blood, and do all he can for him. Leave him
here when we 90. His friends will come out
from Khania and care for him. He fought
me fairly, and / will deal fairly with him.
If he live, l shall fight him again. If he die,
let him.
Late in the afternoon the Sphakiots gained
a position in the mountains from which they
could clearly see Kbania and its environs,
spread out like map before them. As they
stood and looked they saw cloud of dust
rise, as troop of horsemen left the southern
gate and rode out swiftly over the plain.
"Mehemet ben Eek hath heard of an
other Sphakiot raid,n said Nikolas, with a
grim smile. "And he sendeth out his spahi5
to catch US. But they will not venture to
break their horses legs against the mountain
rocks. Peace be with thee, Mehemet ben
bow of reverence toward Khania. "We had
not time to tarry to meet thy servants to-
day. At another time we shall be glad to. :"
But Basil was unable to 60 with them
even that far. Before they reached the
little Sphakiot village of Dramia, he had
grown so faint under the hot sun that he
had to be taken from his mule at that place,
and left at the house of an uncle. He hoped
to be able to ride On again in the cool of the
evening, but he was not, and the next morn
ing raging fever showed itself, and the viii
lage physician declared that his life would
be lost if an attempt were made to move him.

ORDERS FOR THE MARCH.
Especial Field Orders, No. 119.

HEADQ'Rs MILITARY DIVISION OF THE
MISSISSIPPI, IN THE FIELD, KINGSTON, 7
GA, Nov. s, 1864.
The General commanding deems it proper at
this time to inform the officers and men OF the
Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth, and Iwen-
tieth Corps that he has organized them into an
army for special purpose well known to the
War Department and to Gen. Grant. 1t IS
sufficient for you TO know that it involves a
departure from our present base aud long
and difficult march to new one. All the
chances of war have been considered and pro-
vided for, as far as human sagacty can. All
he asks of you is to maintain that disci iplne,
patience, and courage which have character
lied you in the past; and he hopes, through
you, to strike a blow at our enemy that will
have material effect in producing what we
all so much desire-his complete overthrow.
Of all things, the most important is, that the
men. during marches and in camp, keep their
places and do not scatter about as strag2i 2iers
or foragers, to be picked. up by hostile
people In detail 1t is also of the utmost I'M
portance that our wagons should not be loaded
with anything but provisions and ammunition.
All surplus servants, non-combatants, and
refugees should now go to the rear, and none
should be encouraged to cucumber US on the
march. At some future time we will be able
to provide for the poor whites and blacks who
seek to escape the bondage under which they
are now suffering. With these few simple eau
tions he hopes to lead you to achievements
equal in importance to those of the past.

been made to purge this army of non
combatants and of sick men, for we
knew well that there was to be no place
of safety save with the army itself; our
wagons were loaded with ammunition,
provisions, and forage, and we could i'll
afford to haul even sick men in the am
balances. so that all on this exhibit may
be assumed to have been able-bodied,
experienced soldiers, well armed, well
equipped and provided, as far as human
foresight could, with all the essentials of
life, strength, and vigorous action.
The two General Orders made for
this march appear to me, even at this
late day, so clear, so emphatic, and we'll
digested, that no account of that historic
event is perfect without them, and [ give
them entire, even at the seeming ap-
pearance of repetition; and, though
they called for great sacrifice and labor
on the part of the officers and men, [
insist that these orders were obeyed as
well as any similar orders ever were, by
an army operating wholly in an enemy's
country, and dispersed, as we necessarily
were, during the subsequent period of
nearly six months.
