There was not much for a cadet just
out of West Point to do when Joseph
Wheeler was assigned to the dragons
on the plains in 1859. The Indians We're
quiet; peace reigned along the border.
A commission as second lieutenant
reached him in 1861. but about that
time his state. the far southern one of
Alabama, seeded from the Union. and
he resigned to follow the fortunes of his
people. He might have kept out of the
affair. but there was too much fighting
fiber in his little frame for that. The
blood of heroes flowed through his veins.
He raised a company and drilled it and
then became colonel of an infantry regi-
ment.
AS commander of a cavalry brigade
in Tennessee. Wheeler first came into
prominence as a war leader. When.
General Braxton Bragg decided to take
the Confederate army from the line Of
the Tennessee river to the Ohio in 1862,
he sent out the cavalry to mystify the
Federal leaders in Mississippi and Ala
bama and threaten attack on their
Corinth and Chattanooga line. The his
tory of those days shows that the work
was we'll done. The generals in the field
and the authorities in Washington
were in q state of alarm to know what
the Confederates were aiming at.
Wheeler attacked Bolivar. Tenn. de-
stroyed bridges there and at Jackson,
skirmished with Federal cavalry and
burned stores, with other valuable
property lying within the Federal dis
tricts.
When the Co~nfederates started north
on the great Kentucky invasion. Wheeler
led the cavalry Of the left wing. From
the middle Of Tennessee northward it
was a race between the two armies
which should reach Louisville first.

Buell. at Munfordville. Tenn, and elias

With the armies both on the soil of
Kentucky, the maneuver for battle was
begun. Bragg had sent Morgan's caval-
ry on to the Ohio and retained Wheeler
to break through the passes of rivers.
hold the crossings and do the scouting
for the infantry. This work was SO well
performed that when Bragg decided to
abandon the invasion and return to
Tennessee he appointed Wheeler chief
of cavalry. with power to give orders in
the name of his chief and cover the
rear of the army in it's retreat. For the
cavalry the retreat was a running fight
all the way to middle Tennessee. The
troopers often fought dismounted be-

terrible battle of Stone River. 1t took
"a day and a night for Wheeler to de-
stroy the unserviceable spoils, exchang-
ing poor and unserviceable animals and
weapons for good ones captured, and
parole his prisoners. The morning of
the great battle he brought up smiling
in Bragg camp, having made the en-
tire circuit of the enemy in As hours,
and bringing enough extra accouter-
ments to equjpa brigade as large as his
own. This was Joe Wheeler at 20 years
of age.
Bragg's final retirement from middle
Tennessee to the south OF the river, a
result brought about by the pressure
from the toe of Rosecrans' boot, speak
ing metaphorically, was the occasion of
manyan exciting adventure fer his cav
airy chief. The troopers covered the
retrograde movements, and many a
battle came off at the crossings Of the
rivers and in the passes of the hills. In
one of them General Wheeler, then a.
major general, had an adventure worthy
one who has. come out of two a

After fighting off the Federals as Shelby
Vile, on Duck river, and getting his
command out in the teeth of the enemy,
he discovered that Forrest s Confederate
brigade was coming to the crossing and
in danger of capture by the Federals,
who held the north bank. The bridge
had not been destroyed. and with a,
handful Wheeler dashed across, only
to be overrun by the swarming enemy.
Cut off from the bridge, he told his men
to save themselves and cut their way
back to the river. Taking the lead, he
plunged through the Federal line, saber-
ing right and left. and leaped his horse
over the bank where it was a fall Of 10

the Spaniards Would Have
Had No Trouble.

One of the most delightfully."- humorous as
poets of our late antagonists is their utter
absence of sense of humor. Some Ameri-
IAN jester having predicted that when the
Spaniards got through with the war they
would repudiate Christopher Columbus for
having ever discovered America, the Madrid
journals are verifying the prediction by as
serting with, truly Iberian profundity that
fCristobal Colon has turned out to be the
evil genius of Spain.
1t is evident that if the old mariner had
been content with staying in the. Mediter.
ranean and had not gone about bothering
nonarchs to furnish him the means of dis
covering the new world Spain would have
no colonies, and having none she could not
lose them. cts i'll taking the treeks off a
H;elander," says the Scotch preverb, and by
the same logic, if it had not been for the
mischievous activity of Columbus Spain
would have been thoroughly guarded against
such disasters as have now befallen her.
But even upon the Spanish method Of
reasoning-that Columbus was at fault and
not the ages of plumber and cruelty which
have wiped out the Spanish ownership Of
nearly half the world-our Madrid friends
forget that Columbus gave them three cen
turtles of squeezing the colonies that fol
lowed his discoveries in South America, and
four in Cuba and Porto Rico. Inasmuch as
Columbus was thrown into disfavor and
prison while he lived, we should say that
the balance between him and Spain was
still in his favor.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
