The Spirit Of the South.

The regular army men en-
canped in the south are meeting
with some interesting eSperien-
ces. The other day a dozen OF
more officers at Chickamauga
were riding along a country
road. AS they made a turn
around the foot of a hill a tall
man confronted them, and with
outstretched arms and a hat in
hand, asked them to halt. He
was obeyed, and standing before
the officers, with his six feet and
some inches Of manhood erect,
this bearded man said:
II used to hate to see you blue
devils. I've elm IN any a tree
and shot lots OF you. I've
charged bayonets on you and
pulled the trigger that sent
many a bullet straight to the
mark, but now I'm with you
boys and take off my hat to you.
Thar amt man that ever fit in
the rebel army that don't know
what we can do when we are
together. Let's give three
cheers for America"
The three cheers were given
and the officers shook the old
veterans hand and passed on.

A FIGHTING COMMANDER.
Dewey, the Hero of Manila, Has
Seen Hard Service.

In his 81 years of life Commo~
dore George Dewey, the hero OF
Manila, has seen great deal of
red hot fighting. He was born
among the green hills of YER
mont and received his appoint
ment to the Naval Academy at
the age of u, When he grad
uated in 1858 he went with the
steam frigate Wabash on cruise
to Mediterranean waters. When
Fort Sumter was fired upon
Dewey was promoted from en-
sign to lieutenant and assigned
to the sloop Mississippi, which
was to take part in the free
fighting of the West Gulf squad
ron. The Mississippi was a side
wheeler of II guns, and was in
command of Melancthon Smith.
The West Gulf Squadron went
at once to the Mississippi river to
force its way up. The history
of our navy thus describes the
sort of things the men on the
Mississippi experience when they
preceded Farragut up past New
Orleans.
"The Pensacola and the Mis-
sissipi steamed slowly, with
their black hulls at regular inter
walls sheeting in the air with lu<
rid fire as they replied to the
forts. Abreast of St. Philip,
where the Confederate fire was
hottest, they drew IN so close
that the gunners ahoat and those
ashore heartily cursed each other
as they worked.
The Mississippi was with the
squadron again when it ran
past New Orleans on the way
back, fair targets for 70 big
guns at close range.
The hardest fight that the Mis-
sissipi ever was in was the one
that ended her. The fleet was

Matanzas.

The seaport city of Matanzas
is s. miles east of Havana on
the north shore Of Cuba. 1t has
a population Of $1,000, and the
province of the same name is
one of the best settled portions
of Cuba. A railroad runs direct to
Havana and a good wagon road
reaches the Cuban capital by
more circuitous route. The COM
ditions for military operations
by an invading force are more
favorable at this point than at
any other pant of the island; be>
sides the reconceutrados, whose
our army proposes to
relieve, are more numerous
there.

FACTS ABOUT MANILA,
The Manufactures andEx-
ports of the PHILIPPINE
METROPOLIS.

Manila's municipal history
dates from the year 1871, when
the city was founded by Legas>
pi. 1t is a splendid natural
trade center, and ranks with
Calcutta and Batavia. Being
the chief port in the PHILIPPINE
Islands, all their production
flow there, and It's harbor is visi-
ted by great mum Der of vessels
of all nations. It's principal ex-
ports consist of sugar, tobacco,
indigo. MANILA hemp and cor
dage, gold dust, birds nests, cof-
fee, mats, hats, hides, tortoise
shell, cigars cotton and ri e.
It's manufactures are chiefly
cigars and cheroots, governs
ment monopoly; cordage from
flaments of the abaca, beautiful
fabrics, known as pinas, woven
from the 6bres of the pine apple
leaf and afterwards exquisitely
embroidered; various other cloth
made of the abaca 6liment, pure
and mixed cloth fabrics, mats
and cigar cases.
In 1915 Manila was destroyed
b yam earth quake, and several 9th
ers have visited the place since
then. A British fleet captured
Manila in 1862, and held it for
IS months, when it was restored
to Spain by treaty. The popu-
lation of Manila, with its sub
urbs, is about 100000.
The PHILIPPINE Islands belong
to Malay archipelago. Next to
Cuba, they are the most valuable
colonial possessions of Spain.
In all there are about 1900 is
lands in the PHILIPPINE group.
the principal Of which are Lu
zon, Mindanae, aud Palawan.
Their total area is estimated at
about II6,52S square miles, and
the total population is estimated
to be a about 100000.

BEST SHOT OF THE WAR.
1t Was Fired at Matanzas and
Made Gunner Jackson
Famous.

The most famous shot of the
war up to date was that fired by
the Puritan the day Matanzas
was bonn barded-the shot which
aimed at a distance of two miles,
struck it's mark. The man who
sighted that death dealing gun
at a distance of nearly two miles
and a half from the shore batter
les was Gunner's Mate Jackson,
one of the most popular lads on
the monitor.
Jackson had just sighted his
piece and, as he afterward ex-
planned, he had the range so PERI
fectly that he felt sure Of cen>
ter shot. At that critical mo
ment the flagship signalled to
stop firing Jackson could not
bear to lose that beautiful aim, so
he let her 60 a moment after the
action was officially declared off.
IF he had made bad shot Gun
ner's Mate Jackson might have
been reprimanded, but when the
men of the entire squadron wit
messed the terrible execution
done by Jackson's last shot 500
caps of Tackles" came off in a
jiffy.
Cheers rang Justify from the
decks of the flagship, the moni-
tel and the cruiser Cincinnati,
impromptu hornpipes were exe~
cuted On the gun deck of the
Puritan, and the mark sman was
seized aud Rugged again and
again like a long lost brother.

ment, land the whole navy

trying to-run by Port Hudson
with its powerful batteries.
None of the squadron got by.
The Mississippi did not even get
down as close to the batteries as
most Of the other ships did.
She ran aground in the fog and
smoke and stuck hard and fast.
She was about opposite the main
battery when the smoke cleared
away. In 80 minutes she was
struck $50 times. She was shot
full of holes, like a collander.
Her crew climbed into boats on
the side opposite the forts, and
after setting her on fire, made
for the other side of the river
under a whitening rifle fire. She
grew lighter as she burned, and
finally tIoated off. Opposite the
last battery her blazing, popping
progress ended in a tremendous
explosion, and her men, safe on
shore, knew that the Mississippi
would never be under fire
again. Upon this occasion
Lieut.. Dewey stuck to his guns
until the last and he did not
quit the ship until all others
had left. Admiral Porter sin
gled him out for special praise.
In July, 1868, Dewey was on
the gunboats that engaged the
Confederates below Donaldson
