in the day, after several desperate
charges Of the Federals had been re-

there had to be some eleventh hour men
in the south. This was not because the
fire Of patriotism burned out early, but
owing to the fact that the Gonfederacy
hadn't arms and clothing for all the
volunteers who offered themselves. The
nucleus Of the Thirty regiment
was a battalion formed and led by
Colonel Thomas, consisting Of seven
companies, representing nine counties.
It was organized in September, 1861,
and two months later three companies
were added, making full infantry regi-

As a means of shutting Off Federal
vessels from Washington the blockade
of the lower Potomac was not a success,
but yet the batteries there gave the gov
eminent no little trouble Many at
tempts were made to dislodge the bat
teries, but they held sway until March
1862 Passage in the daytime was i'm
possible, but on dark or foggy nights
vessels slipped through. Warning Of
the approach of ships was often given
by friendly citizens above the batteries,
and then, if the target could not be
seen, a few shots were fired at random.
The Georgians performed the detective
and picket service leaving it to the bat
teries. when warned, to do execution
upon the encmys marine. One night in
particular the grapevine telegraph gave
notice that fine large government ship
was dropping down the river towed by
a tug The pickets were alert and warn
ed the batteries, but when the ship APP
peared, an hour before day, moving 81
lently on the current, the batteries kept
silent until she had passed half way
down the line. But the Georgians pep
pered away with their rifles, and, be
ing able to see the ghostly outlines of
the drifting ship, landed many bullets
in her sides When she got abreast the
middle batteries, heavy shot and some
hot balls were thrown at her, one pene-
trating under the water line and bring
ing her to a stop mile below the works.
Federal bullets never troubled these
lone'outposts on the Potomac, but that
did not spare the Georgians from the
deadly perils of war. They brought with
them from the Atlanta barracks the
germs of a contagion, and during the
winter 20 per cent of the men died.
Following the whole army southwark
from the Manassas region the Thirty
fifth went to Yorktown in April, 1862,

trenches. It's service was without adven-
ture, and it covered the retreat to Rich

From Tho Review OF Reviews.

There are several facts touching the SIT
uation in Cuba which we have presented
to our readers not once or twice, but many
times; and those facts-regardlesS of the
conflicting reports in the detailed news
from day to day or week to Week-it is
well to keep in mind First. there is abb
soluteIy nothing whatever in the situation
that iustifies the belief that the Cuban in
surgents can be led to accept a political
compromise. The much talked-of autono-
my proposals are not making an inch or
Roadway. They have been proposed by a
cabinet which cannot make them lawful
until the cortes--that is to say, the houses
OF Northumberland them into statute.
But the Spanish cortes IS conservative by
large majority, particularly IN the upper
house, and inasmuch as the conservatives
are plainly opposed to the SagaSta-Blan
policy. there il no reason whatever 10
think that any autonomy project that IS
conceived in good faith will ever be car
ried through the cortes Public opinion IN
Spain shows constantly increasing hoStil-
lily toward the autonomy scheme. AS Tor
Cuba. there is no considerable element of
public opinion in the island that for q
single moment looks with favor on tire Sa-
Easta-I}ianco policy, The Insurgents VIII
have none of it. anil the Spanish conSelFit-
lives in Cuba are thoroughly against IT, II
is true that Governor General Blanco has
been going through the form of giving eff
Sect to the now arrangements, and that Il
Cuban cabinet has been announced. nut the
whole thing IS an empty sham. There VIII
be no real trial of the scheme. The auton-
ony project has been launched chiefly tor
consumption in the United States. It is

device for gaining time.
