sponsible for anything that happened if |
had any command. Gen. Terry informed
him that he had known me for many
years, that he had entire confidence in
my ability, and that he would send me
orders. (Applause.)
"Gen. Terry, in planning for the at
tack on the fort, asked me for my ideas
on the matter. I told him I thought the
Second Division could carry the fort If
protected by the guns Of the ships. He
then told me that had been selected to
make the assault, if one was made.
ION the morning of the 18th Gen.
Terry came ashore and told me that Gen
Ames was to attack the west end Of the
parapet. He seemed pleased at the prepa-
ratory work done by my brigade and
asked me what my plan was. I told him
1t was to go from rifle pit to rifle pit and
not draw the infantry fire from the fort
until we were close up. If the infantry
rose, the ships were to pound it back, and
when they could not longer do that we
would charge. If we did not get in there
l asked Gen. Terry to send another brig
ade to push us in. Gen. Terry ordered
me to carry out this plan
Gen. Amess8 with the second and
third Brigades, halted behind us. Capt.
Lawrence, Of Gen, Ames's staff, wanted
to go with my brigade, and 1 consented
on the condition that he should agree not
to interfere with any of our plans. He
went with us, and it would be a serio us
imputation on a gallant gentleman to
say that he interfered and himself led the
charge. Capt. Lawrence did not lead
the first brigade. He fell near the stock

steamers loaded with Confederate soldiers
waiting for chance to land. At the
same time sent back for achievements.
Gen. Ames sent me spades. threw them
over the parapet to the Confederates.
We gathered the men together, and at
5:15 80 o'clock that afternoon we made
the assault. You can understand why I
am SO accurate about the time. Gen.
Ames alleged that Gen. Curtis fell
wounded at 4.30 o'clock Shortly after

But lately there have been some romantic
inventions. The Indignation displayed
on recent occasion was not so much ON
account of the attack on certain officer
as it was on the navy and the troops.
Success without the navy was impossible
that day. The statement, too, that Gen.
Terry established his headquarters at
safe place, or did any of the unworthy
things that have been attributed to him,
is absolutely untrue"

HISTORIC BATTLE GROUND.
Pharsalos the Same Field on Which
Caesar Defeated rompey.

| 1t is in astheatre of old wars and amid
scenes made familiar to all the world
| through classic story, says the New York
Times, that the Turk and tile Greeks are
| contending.
Pharsalos, to which the Crown Prince
Constantine has retreated from Larissa, is
the ancient Pharsalia in name, but not in
site, lying some eight miles to the southwest
OF the battle-ground where Julius Caesar
overcome Pompey in 4s B. C. Pompey' S
troops on that occasion retreated to Laris-
sa, reversing the movement made by the
Greek troops on Friday.
Edham Pasha invaded Greece by the
very pass through which Xerxes led his i'm
mense Persian army in 4S0, B. c. Milouna
Pass is that pass ''by Petra Pythium and
Olooson,'' referred to by Grote and men
toned by Livy. But this time there will
be no Thermopylae. In the first place, the
road the victorious Turks will take toward
Athens, if the fortunes of war allow them to
take any,--does not run through the famous
pass where Leonidas and his 800 Snartans
held out SO valiantly against Xerxes From
Zeitum to the west of the Malic Gulf Gov
eminent road rams directly to Athens But
what is more TO the point there is no longer
a pass at Thermopylae. AS Herodotus de-
scribes it, there was barely room for wag-
on road between Mount Oeta and the shore
OF the gulf, SO that but three OF four of
Leonidas' Spartans could fight abreast. In
twenty three hundred years the alluyial
deposits brought down by the Siercheios
has filled in the gulf far from the ancient
shore, so that a broad marsh is now seen
where Leonidas kept the pass. The hot
springs, which give the place the name of
the shot gates,' still flow, however. The
changed shore line and the construction
of new roads west of the mountain have
destroyed this most famous of classic bat
tlegrounds. Here it was that the Aetolians
met Philip, that Antiochus contended with
the Romans and the Greeks with Brennus
and the Gauls. The treaehery of Ephilates,
who showed Xerxes a mountain path that
enabled him to get in the rear of the Spar
tans was initiated in some of the latter CON
f1icts, and with the same results.
Salonica, at the head of the gulf, which
the Greeks have threatened to destroy, is
the Thessalonlea where st. Paul was SO hos
pitably treated that he went away to Kara
Feria, and was thence privately conveyed
to Dion, on the gulf, where he took ship for
Athens

reported to the committee in charge of the
| conduct of tho war, Gen. Curtis said that
it had been impossible to take the fort
There was an investigation and Gen.
Butler was upheld.
"Gen. Grant sent an officer to me-, y
said Gen. Curtis, BORDERING me to appear
before him. 1t had previously been sug-
gested that I go and see Gen. Grant, but
| declined to do SO, having heard that
Gen. Butler contemplated making
charges against me of disobedience of or
desr in the face of the enemy, and not
wishing to be misunderstood. I went to
Gen. Grant when ordered to and told him
that | still believed the fort could have
been taken by an assault Two questions
were put to me at that time. They were /:
Do you think the fort could have been
taken? and, Do you think the fort can
be taken now by an assault? I replied in
the affirmative to both. Gen. Grant be-
lieved as did about the matter, and the
second expedition was ordered. 1t was
commanded by Gen. Terry.
"Gen. Ames was to proceed on the At
lantic, and he sent word to Capt. Gray,
her commander, to reserve quarters for
himself and staff. So that he might have
no complaint, two sets of quarters, one
on the upper deck and one in the cabin,
were set aside for him to choose from.
But Gen. Ames did not appear, and

with word that Gen. Ames was not on
board, SO 1 opened the DIES patches and
found orders for the Atlantic to leave at
in the morning. We were to proceed
to Cape Henry, where we We're to open
our sealed orders.
AT the proper time we sailed. At
breakfast time I sent an officer to invite
Gen. Ames to breakfast with me, but the
officer said that Gen. Ames had come
on board late and that he didn't want to
disturb him. Off Cape Henry, Gen. Ames
not having appeared, Capt. Carleton, of
his staff, brought the sealed orders to me
to open. I declined to assume the duties
OF the division commander and ordered
him to take, them to Gen. Ames. Again
he said that he didn't want to disturb the
General. then threatened to send the
orders by one of my own officers unless
he went Immediately. He started to find
Gen. Ames, but in a few minutes came
back with word that the General was not
on board. then opened the orders, and
in accordance with them we proceeded
to point twenty-five miles off Beaufort.

PARIS SUMMER GOWN FROM HARpER,s BAzAR

What is the secret some women DOS
sess that always enables them to look
well dressed9' a neat, matronly. looking
woman remarked to friend in car the
other day. Her friend replied that if
women would study the relation of one
color to another little and apply the re-
suit OF such study to the selection of a
costume and its accessories, they would
all be as well dressed as the ones they adj
mired. Now that the month of May is
with us comes the question Where are
we going for the summer, and what kind
of dresses will we need?
Our fashion cut this week shows a
Paris summer gown of quite new style
which may help to solve this problem.

As Harper's Bazaar describes it, it is of
embroidered cashmere and gauze pelisse.
The waist has shirred yoke of gauze,
and is trimmed with Bertha effect
of gauze ruffles bound with velvet, while
the sleeves and body are of embroidered
cashmere. The front of the skirt is of
shirred gauze, the side and back breadths
of the cashmere trimmed with four ruff1es
of velvet bound gauze put on in gradu-
ated sizes. A belt and collar of black
satin are in sharp contrast against the
delicate coloring, but are effective.
The hat is of straw with a silk crown
and trimmed with band of Batavia
cloth, tuft of colored aigrettes, and
choux of gauze.
