result OF your movements.
wAYNE's APPREHENsIoNs FULFILLED.
On Friday morning early, my cousin,
Col. George Gordon, of the Goth Ga,
temporarily attached to Headquarters,
called upon me in much concern, for he
was sincerely attached TO me, and ex-
pressed great regret at the position l
held in the public estimation, saying
that scouts had gone 20 miles up the
right bank of the Ogeechee without en-
countering sign of an enemy, and that
/ must certainly be mistaken.
To which | answered that was fully
aware of the public feeling toward me
and was sorry for it, but that | was right
and not mistaken, as events would show,
and that, though unpleasant, | had to
bear like a man present contumely,
knowing that was right; and added:
Mark my word at 2 p. m. to-day
some of Osterhaus's men will break up
the little command of North Carolinians
at No. 2, and at nine tonight Savannah
will be surrounded. | hear that your
uncle, Mr. Cuyler, the President of the
Central Railroad, intends leaving by a
special train this evening on the Gulf
Railroad for Macon. Beg him, from
me, not to attempt it, for if he does ne
will run into Sherman's lines" He
went, however, and was captured.
Learning toward evening that Gen.
Beauregard intended TO return that
night to Charleston by the railroad, |
called upon him and urged him not to
attempt it, but cross at Screven's Ferry,
below Savannah, and take the road at
Hardeeville. My advice, however, was
rejected, and he left by rail. Fortu-
nately, the conductor thought there
might be some danger, and ran slowly,
stopping his train within about mile
of Slocum's lines.
Gen. Beauregard returned to Savan-
nah and crossed at Screven's Ferry.
The next morning revealed to the in
credulous that Savannah was invested.
The capture of McAllister settled the
doubts as to your object completely.
The defense of Savannah should have
been made, as | advised at the time,
along the line Of the Great Ogeechee.
There you might have been checked, as
my own slight resistance subsequently
convinced me. That river passed, how
ever, there was no serious impeachment in
your way to the sea. And had strong
fight been made there, | question if you
could have made your way through the
Carolinas unless reinforced strongly at
Savannah.
At no time was Gen. Hardee in the
field with 10000 men, as you state on
page 1913, second volume He was not
in the field at all with any troops. And
what you state on the same page with
regard to McLaws at Ogeechee Church
(the Little Ogeechee, | call it, | have
already explained in this narrative.
In all the incidents Of this, my little
campaign, | owe whatever merit may
attach to them largely to my Chief-of-
Staff. Gen. Capers and in resistance at
the bridge and Balls Ferry, to him, and
to Maj. Alfred L. Hartridge, an eteye of
the Georgia Military Institute, in inn
mediate command OF the Confederate
troops under me.

paper to whom the honor is due. 1t has
been stated that Lieut.. Whittier deserves
great credit for bringing off the guns after
the horses were killed and wounded Lieut..
Whittier did not bring off the guns, neither
was he there at the time. After the battery
had ceased firing one of the gunners went to
Gen. Hancock for detail to haul off the
guns. He sent detail from the Irish Bri-
gade, under the command of Lieut. Col Null
holland, with Lieut.. Sacris, of the l 10th Pa,
and Lieut.. Wilson, of Gen. Hancock's staff.
The guns were hauled three miles by hand,
and the brave men who exposed themselves
to severe fire of shot and she'll from the
rebel batteries to save our guns lost their

mand of the battery since the battle.

50 1 concede that the pension list is large, but
it is Justly large The additional expense
of publishing the list would allow more gOs-
sip for the fault-finders In some of the
larger cities little more personal knowledge
relatinr to the pensioners incomes might bs
made known through such publication, but
enough satisfaction and knowledge can be
obtained by any who wishes upoa a little in
vestisation of their own, obviating expense
to the Nation. In smaller places people are
so well and personally acquainted that PEN

The WelIs-Fargo Express Co.

Quite decided change and one that will be welcomed by the citizens of Mena has taken place in the Wells Fargo Express Go Since the Com pany opened for business in this city the office has been so over crowded with business that it was impossible to give proper service.
 As briefly mentioned in last we ek's Star. the express office has been moved from the freight depot building to the Hamilton block. D. J. Cavett, who has been over crowded with official duties, has given up this department and Geo McGovern, of Fort Madison, Ia, has taken the position of Express agent, He arrived last week accem- panied by his wife and has his new quarters nicely fixed up.
 Mir McGovern has held position as route agent for the Wells-Fargo com pany for number of years and stands in the estimation of that company as equal in ability to the agents in any of the large cities He has located in Mena hoping to benefit his health and expects to take lively interest in the growing of early fruit and vegetables for shipment
 A system of free delivery of express will be inaugurated and first class ser vice given in the future

GOOD LOOKING SLATE.
TIT. Boyer and Capt. Todd Preparing
 to Open a Quarry.

w. L Boyer called at the Star office Money and left a piece of slate which was taken from a quarry he and Capt. Todd are opening up east of Mena which is very fl ne in quality. It pos sesses the uniform thickness and strength to be valuable.
 Messrs. Boyer and Todd have been at the prospective quarry for over week and are positive Shat the quantity is iuexhaustible, They brought in with them large pieces over two feet square showing perfect formation and smooth surface.
 These gentlemen are making pre- parations to put in machinery to de. velop the property and will no doubt soon be prepared to put an excellent quality of slate roofing upon the mar ket. In many places in Polk county formations of slate crop out and it is therefore not surprising to know of the result of the work done by these gentlemen who have evidently hit up on a superior quality of the forma- ton.
