receive in q kindly spirit any sugges-
tion that might prove to be valuable
in this line. and they will talk with
Mr.. Holland over the details of his
scheme, probably on the basis OF a
compensation to be paid to him for
each Spanish vessel destroyed.
An important phase to the military
programme is decision not to take
up the details of organizing Il new
force of $4,000 volunteers for at least
week or 10 days. If the regiments
under the first call are to be brought
up to their maximum strength, it will
take about 40, 900 men from the second
call to complete the 1875 regiments
under the first CALL This will leave
5000 men to be organized in dis
tinctly new regiments.
The war department is anxious to
obtain the views of the governors of
tue States and territories in regard to
the filling to their maximum strength
the regiments already furnished by
them under the first call of the Presi-
dent for 125, 900 men and with this
object in view Adjutant General
Corbin, at the direction Of Secretary
Alger, to-day sent kilograms asking
the several governors to make recon-
mendations to the department. on this
subject. The question arose to-day as
to whether colored officers as we'll as
colored troops be taken as part of the
organizations offered. General Alger
at once decided that if colored COM
pany had efficient, soldierly colored
officers they were as much entitled to
recognition and acceptance in the mill
tary service as were the troops them
selves. In this connection it devel-
oped that colored men are being con-
sidered for some of the staff appoint
ments and the surgeon general OF the
army has accepted a colored man as
surgeon, with the rank of captain.
The colored surgeon will be assigned
to coored regiment and colored off,
GERS will be kept together as much as
possible.

Counted Chickens Before Hatching.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Thc mill
tary situation az at present deter
mined upon by those in authority is
to make no forward movement of
troops either upon Porto Rico or Cuba
until furthcg and definite Information
il received as to the location of the
Spanish squadron and it's possibilities

ments Of Spain.
For the last few days army circles
have shared public belief that the
Spanish ships were trapped in Santiago
haroor, and that has given impetus to
arrangements by which large bodies Of
troops at Chickamauga ard elsewhere
might be moved forward rapidly to
Tampa for embarkation. The presence
Of 30 or more transports in Florida
waters added to the conviction that a
movement on large scale ,as about
to occur. All this has been going on
with the understanding that Admiral
Cervera career as a possible menace
in the rear of our troops had hcen cut
off by his being securely held in San
tiago harhor, but in the absence of
positive information on this point
there is no purpose whatever on the
part of the war department. to make
an aggressive forward movement on
Cuba or Porto Rice. This was stated
Tonight in the most positive manner
and from an authoritative source.
1t can be again affirmed on the high.
est authority and notwithstanding all
rumors to the contrary, that at the
close of the day the department had
nothing more than belief, founded
on unofficial adviccs, that the Spanish
squadron was lying in Santiago har
hnr, and no news as to Commodore
Schleys whereabouts. However. the
great majority Of the officials of the
navy department entertain no doubt
that Cervera is within Santiago har-
Dor, and they have succeeded in i'm
pressing this belief upon the President
and members of the cabinet.

A Gallant South Carolinian Again in
the Saddle.

WASHINGTON. y. G., May Sex
Senator NJ. e Butler was to-day ap-
pointed Major General of volun-
teers. The President sent his nomi-
nation to the Senate, and that body
promptly contirmei their former asso-
ciatc without the formality Of refer
ring the nomination to committee.
The selection of Gen. Butler is gen
orally regarded as one of the best ar
my appointments the President has
made since the war with Spain com
menced. Gen. Butler military ex-
perence, sagacity, ability and univer-
sal popularity is recognized North and
South, and the President is receiving
many compliments for having chosen
the gallant South Carolinian for the
rank of Major General.
His appointment. while gratifying,
is not a surprise, for the President
stated several weeks ago, when the
entire membership Of the Senate
united in an endorsement of Gen.
Butler for Major General 5 commits
| sion. that the veteran cavalry leader
of the Palmetto State would be COM
missioned should there be second
call for volunteers.
One of the pleasing incidents of
Gen. Buffers appointment was the
active and cordial support given him
by his old political antagonist, Sena-
tor Tillman. The latter strongly
urged Gen. Buffers selection, and he
made several visits 10 the White
House and the war department in his
behalf. While it was not necessary
to bring any particular pressure to
bear upon the President to promote
Gen. Butler interests, it is neverthc-
less gratifying to the friends Of Sena-
tor Tillman and those of Gen. Butler
that the political hatchet was buried
in the interest of State pride and the
recognition of one of the best soldiers
the State ever produced.
Another we'll known Southerner who
was appointed brigadier generals Gov
ernor Oates, of Alb He is al
most as we'll known in South Carolina
and Georgia as in his own State. He
lost arm in the war, was familiar
figure in Congress for several terms,
and has since been Governor OF his
State for two terms.
Two Georgians were on to-day s list.
One of these was DR.. Bourns, OF At
lanta, who is appointed chief surgeon
with the rank Of major, the other Otto
Becker, who is appointed pay master
with the rank of captain. Gen. Mer-
ritt has made application for DR.:
Bourns to be assigned to his staff, and
that will doubtless be soon. He is
given the appointment because of his
familiarity with the Philippines:
1t is announced that another batch
of brigadiers will be sent to the Senate
early next week, and that most OF
those then appointed will come from
the Southern States. While Georgia
has been given brigadier and Ala
bama, South Carolina and Virginia
have been honored with major general
ships, the great bulk Of appointments
have come from the Northern States.
The President has said that he in
tends to even up things in the future.

"You may fire when ready, Grid

Dewcy's, as the Olympia, steaming

CAPT. j. HARVEY MATHEs,

The accession Of Benton Mcmillan,
to the governorship of Tennessee brings
up conplcuously the name Of Capt. J.
Harvey Mathes as candidate for the
position of adjutant>ge neral of the
State. This selection would be emf
nently fitting. The career of Capt
Mathes has been distinguished not only
by fidelity to every trust confided to
him, but by uuquestioned ability and
devotion to all obligations resting upon
him. An unwavering Democrat, he
has been steadfast in his loyalty to the
principles and traditions of his party.
AS Confederate soldier he modestly
and gracefully wears the well-earned
laurels won on many a hard.contested
field, losing a leg on the battle ground
and staunchly serving the cause and
dag which went down in the night OF
defeat. The Memphis Commercial
Appeal in a recent issue bestows a
well-merited eucomium on Capt. Math.
es, referring to his candidacy in terms
OF the highest commendation. AL.
though never a resident Of this State,
his name is honored and revered by q
multitude OF our citizens, who felt the
influence Of his teachings through the
Memphis Ledger, which he conducted
Tor many years.

THANKSGIVING DAY,

Thanksgiving day has come ant
gone. Everywhere In this broad lant
there are thoughtful hearts turned to
wards the Giver OF all good and from ths
choirs Of thousand churches rang oul
the anthems Of praise. No doubt 9
vast deal Of it was mere show, but God
can sift the wheat from the chat. He
knows whether We are thankful In
heart or merely performed our part
a. machine. But. what contrast
between this Thanksgiving and the one
ordered by Washington, one hundred
years ago. Then, We were weak and
shivering.set Of colonies, scattered from
Maine to Florida, jealous Of one anoth-
er, and ever ready to fly the coops be-
cause Of some faucied evil, disconuect
ed in fact and feeling. To-day We are
one, and by that unity able to bid de-
fiance to the world. One hundred
years ago there was here small and
undeveloped country, limited on the
west!by the Mississippi river, on the
north by the great lakes, and the south
by Florida; to-day we reach from sea to
sea, from the great lakes to the Gulf.
Railroads, steamboats, and telegraph
lines all over the country bring US into
close communion with one another.
These vast arteries OF trade have
brought US all together; the prejudices
OF the past are fast being eradicated;
words Of brotherly love and praise to
God are carried up from thankful
hearts all over the land. The effer-
vescence Of some poisoned hearts here
and there only goes to show the great
truth that We are truly one. Vindic-
tive criticism by one section against
another falls fiat and has no place in
the heart of the American citizens; the ,
flag covers US all.
One hundred years ago We were not
known on the roll Of nations. To-day
which Of sll the powers Of the earth E
Jingle handed and alone dares raise
hand against our cohstellated banner, l
The emblem Of the greatest power on
,arth, made great by patriotism, in.
lustry, courage and faith? =
Let US be thankful, for OF all the ma Q
ions Of earth we have the greatest ,
,ause to be thankful. Our commerce
covers all seas, our manufactures are v
'old on every market. our cotton cloth .

Success.

Last Friday, the second day Of the
Fair and Live Stock Show, was marked
by a large attendance Of people, esu-
mated at not less than 1900 souls,
gathered from this and surrounding
country, and different portions of the
State, A large number Of ladies graced
the occasions and added to the sttrac-
tiveness Of the event. They seemed TO
be keenly alive to the pleasures offered
by the features which made the Fair
so interesting. Throughout the prog
ress Of the show, they exhibited an en-.
thusissm which was shared by the
multitude who watched the contest
with eager and delighted interest.
But one opinion was expressed re-
garding the great success Of the Fair,
and since it has proved to be 90 popu-
lar, the general sentiment is that it
should be the forerunner of other
Fairs OF a like character in the future.
It would be instrumental In encourag-
ing the raising and improvement Of
live stock and in fostering a laudable
pride in maintaining high condition
OF thoroughbred and blooded animals.
