THE VOLUNTEER STATE.
Tennessec's Prowess IN All onr Coun-
try's Wars.


In the revolutionary war, in 1912, in
the Creek and Seminole wars and in the
conflict with Mexico. Tennessee earned
the reputation and sobriquet of the
volunteer state. In the revolution her
pioneers left their feeble and unpro-
tected settlements on the Holston, Wa
tauga and Nolaohucky to pour them
selves q torrent OF death on the invaders
of tho Carolinas. At the commence
ment Of tho war of 1912, before any
-equlsiton from the government, $500
Tennesseans volunteered and this
number was increased 10 nearly $4,000
before its close. Tennessee fought the
Creek war almost unaided, and fur
nished the heroes who won the bloody
field Of Chalmette before the gates Of
New Orleans. II was Tennessee valor
and dash in the person of the gallant
Gaines that won the victory for the
American arms at Fort Erie, which
first checked the invasion OF the east.
In the Mexican war Tennessee's quota
was 2sOo. and 10000 volunteers re-
sponded to the call. In fact, from the
revolution TO the great civil conflict
Tennessee took a leading part in every
war. When the war between the states
came Tennessee furnished 100000 men
TO the confederacy and $4,000 volunteers
TO the union; 80 general officers 10 the
confederacy and eight to the fedcralists.
To the southern navy she gave a Maury,
the pathfinder Of the sens, and to the
northern a Farragut. The claim that
Tennessee furnished more soldiers to
the civil war than any other state will
hardly be disputed Four hundred and
eight battles and slSirmishes were
fought within her limits, a record sur
passing that of any other state except
Virginia; and Tennessee's soil holds
"the dreamless dust" OF more heroes
that died in the conflict between the
states than does the soil of any other
state, Now all is peace and fraternity.

diers, regiment after regiment would
enlist as fast as men could write their
names, peers Of the victorious Tenth
Legionaries of Rome or the invincible
Ironsides Of Cromwell -. illustrated

American woman spanI.h spy.

WASHINGTON, April 29.LThe post
Office department has received informa-
tiOn of a letter being held up because
it contained reasonable information.
The postmaster at Santa Cruz. Cal, re-
ported that a letter addressed to Pre-
mier Sagasta. Spain, had been mailed
there, and under direction of Assistant
Attorney General Tyner its contents
were examined. It was mailed by a
woman who gave an address where
an answer would reach her and con-
tained information in regard to the
fortifcauons Of San Francisco. wherl
guns are located, etc. It also described
points lower down the coast where
Spanish vessels could land troops and
said there were men who would act as
guides TO attack San Francisco and
seize railroad trains. The letter will be
transmitted to the war department for
action. 1t is thought that it may lead
TO an investigation as to whether there
are persons in that vicinity unfriendly
to the United States.
