Galveston, Texas, Sept. ia con-
dict of a=thority due to misunder-
standing precipitated temporary dis
organization Of the policing Of the city
yesterday.
1t seems that when Gen. Scurry, ad-
jutant-general of the Texas volunteer
guard, arrived in the city Tuesday
night with about 200 militia from
Houston. he conferred with the chief
OF police as to the plans for guarding
property. protecting the lives of citi-
zens and preserving law and order.
An order was issued by the chief of
police to the effect that the soldiers
should arrest all persons found carry
ing arms unless they showed a writ
ten order signed. by the chief of police
or mayor giving them permission to
so armed. 1t so happened that
Sheriff Thomas had appointed and
sworn in 16O special deputy sheriffs
These deputies were supplied with a
ribboned badge of authority, but were
not given any written or printed com.
mission.
Deputies Arrested.
Acting under the order issued by the
chief Of police. Major Hunt McCaleb
OF Galveston, who was appointed aid
to Gen. Scurry, issued an order to the
militia to arrest all persons carrying
arms without the proper authority
The result was that about fifty citi-
zens wearing deputy sheriff badges
were arrested by the soldiers and ia
ken to police headquarters. The SOL
diers had no way of knowing by what
authority the men were acting with
these badges and would listen to no
excuses.
Gen. Scurry and Sheriff Thomas,
hearing of the wholesale arrests, call
ed at police headquarters and consult
cd with Acting Chief Amundsen. Chief
Amundsen referred Gen. Scurry 10
Mayor Jones. Then Gen. Scurry and
Sheriff Thomas held a conference at
the city hall. These two officers soon
arrived at an understanding and an
agreement was decided upon to the eff
feet that all persons deputized as
deputy sheriffs and all persons ap-
pointed as special officers shall be
permitted to carry arms and pass in
and out OF the guard lines.

Calamity of Century.

The latest news from floodswept
'icture left by the terrible tidal wave.
1t least ten thousand persons were
swept into eternity by the wind and
wave that set in at 2 o'clock Saturday
morning, and continued for twenty
our hours. The following report Is
rom correspondent at the scene OF
The dreadful calamity.
The exodus of the people of Calves
on, fleeing from hunger and pestilence
md thousand-fold suffering, has begun
N earnest.
At least 1000 men and women had
aiken advantage of the transporta--
'ion facilities furnished by pressing
INTO service all available small boats
and sailed to Texas City and Virginia
Point. Other thousands are ready to
'eave as soon as they can secure pas
sage.
Must Get Them Away.
Mayor Jones says that there are at
east 1000 women and children and in
iured men whom it is imperative to
take away at once to avoid great NOR
tality among them.
Their going is a blessing to them.
and it will be an equal blessing to
those who remain behind. The citi-
Gems committee is using every effort
to encourage the departure OF all who
will go, and especially of the women
and children. 1t is furnishing free
transportation to many, and in this it
is assisted by the railroad companies.
Survivors Taken North.
Word was received from General
Manager Trice of the International &
Great Northern Railroad that suffer-
ers would be carried free to Houston
from Texas City, where most of the
boats land, and that transportation to
points still further north would be
furnished to people unable to pay their
way. The Galveston, Houston & Hen
derson road will also operate relief
trains and carry refugees from Texas
City to Houston.
The establishment of this passenger
service out of the city and of a relief
freight service from Clinton to Gal
weston to bring in supplies, which is
promised, will greatly relieve the sit
uation at Galveston, but it is still bad
enough.
May Convene Legislature.
There is much talk of asking Gov
6ayers to call special session of the
legislature to come to the relief Of
Galveston and appropriate large sum
for it. District Judge William H.
Stewart has telegraphed the request to
him.

''It isn't safe to start out without a

marked a member of the house the

awhile out here in Virginia, and my

of the candy which L had forgotten to

away, sending shot and shell over us
into the confederate ranks.

pie to such an extent again. Having
been through one civil war, and having
known by experience all of its horrors,
if l felt that l had been elected, rather
than have civil war over it. Many peo-
pie blamed Mr.. Tilden at that time for
not insisting upon his Inauguration,
but he was patriotic and wise in declin-
ing to carry his contest to the arbitra-
ment of war.
Speaking of civil war reminds me of
that four years of fighting. During the
greater part of the time L was on Vir-
ginia soil with Hunton's brigade, and
we were kept busy all of the time.
With plenty of money and unlimited
resources, during the first two years of
the war, we had plenty of supplies, food
and clothing. Even then the hardships
of army life were severe enough. But
when our cause was failing, when we
could get no money from abroad, when
our confederate paper money was de-
preciated and depreciating, when our
ports were blockaded and our supplies
exhausted, our sufferings were as in
tense as those which were suffered by
the continental army under Washing
ton at Valley Forge and elsewhere.
Moreover, our soldiers, believing in
their cause, were as patriotic and noble
as were their ancestors, the heroes who
fought for the liberty of the 13 colonies.
"There are thousands of living con-
federate soldiers who will freely admit
that the cause wan wrong, and who will
say that it is blessing to all of us and
TO our posterity that we have a great
united country, but no self-respecting
confederate soldier will say or permit
| anyone to say that the confederate sol
diers were not as patriotic, self-sacrific-
ing heroes as ever carried arms for any
cause in the history of the world. And
on many battlefield we learned to re-
spect the soldiers of the north. No sol
diers on earth but southern men could
have made such charge as Pickett S
men made at Gettysburg. No soldiers
in the world but northern soldiers could
have withstood that charge and rolled
our shattered columns back from those
heights.
"At the beginning of the war with
Spain 1 received letters from scores OF
the old members of Hunton's brigade,
begging me to blow my bugle and call
them together. They wanted to fight
for our common country just as freely
and patrioticaliy as they fought for the
confederacy. Some Of them were more
than 60 years Old, but the fire of youth
was kindled in them, and they were
ready 10 leave their families and march
under the stars and stripes against the
foreign foe. OF course, they did not get
into the army, but their sons enlisted,
and have been told that upwards of a
! thousand Of the sons of veterans of Hun

fall on our backs and burn through
blouse and shirt before we had any
warning. Every one of those burns
left a scar as lasting as that left by a
bullet, and those who carry them fret
even now over the discomfort, but
whenever there is pain from one of
those old scars there comes back vivid
pictures of that trying time in front
of our own artillery.
This throwing to the front of his
own batteries of men whose safety de-
pended on their strict obedience to or
ders illustrated the resourcefulness of
one of the best strategists and fighters
among the generals of the civil war.
When the batteries ceased firing the
division was in position to charge at
once on the advancing column that had
been demoralized by the effective artil-
lery fire. But that night the men of
this same division showed their own
resourcefulness in fortifying their line
along what they realized was the key
to the position of the union army. They
had no intrenchment tools, but they
availed themselves of rails and stones
and earth to make shelter. The next
morning they secured picks and SHOW.
els, and on their own motion construct
ed intrenchments covering their whole
front.
ut so happened that no attack was
made by the enemy that day, and Wis.
itors from the other divisions laughed
n little at our boys for spending so
much time on intrenchments that they
would probably have to leave. But at
two o'clock on the second day the con-
federates advanced in force against the
position held by this division, and with
out any preliminary skirmishing
opened a furious rifle fire. Our men
dropped behind their intrenchments
and waited until the advancing line
came in close range; then opened a
murderous fire. Again and again the
confederates charged, and every time
they were driven back. The point COW
cred by the intrenchments became the
center of furious battle, and while
there was wavering on the right and
on the left, the line at that point, far
ther advanced than any other, stood
firm, and the men did not leave their
breastworks until they were ordered
forward in furious charge. Chicago

the sum total of S347,217 was checked
out, for transportation of troops. The
stubs of the check book show every
transaction until the close of the war.
The largest check drawn was for S90O,-
900 in favor of the Richmond O. Danville
Railroad company; but marginal note
shows that the company accepted S16,-
900 in coin in lieu of the 100000 in con-
federate checks. To such an extent
had the value of confederate money de-
preciated.
The total amount of paper money is
sued by the confederacy was 81 800, ,O0O,-
600. That is an immense sum to con-
template, and all of it became value-
less. Towards the close of the war
milk brought $40 quart in Richmond,
in confederate money. Lunch at a res
taurant cost 800. Coffee was five dol
lars per cup, and it was not good coffee,
| either. Gen. Hunton says that these
| conditions were brought about not only
because the confederate money of law
full issue had deprecated, but because
that money was counterfeited, and
hundreds of thousands of counterfeit
| confederate money flooded the south.
The confederate government was pow
erless to stop this practice, because the
| counterfeiting was done in the north.
Northern spectators bought cotton
with this counterfeit money. Inasmuch
as it only cost them the price of print
ing, they could afford TO pay fabulous
prices for the cotton, and then the
| money was circulated throughout the
south by its innocent holders.
1t is not generally known, but it is
fact, that previous to the civil war this
| government had mint at Dahlonega,
Ga, where gold to the amount of about
| S7,000,000 was minted; and most of
the gold was taken from mines in that
vicinity. But when the war began the
mines were deserted, and they have
never since been operated Because of
the scarcity of gold within the boun-
daries of the confederacy, that govern
ment was never able to establish mint,
and hence was obliged to depend upon
its issues of paper money.
| All these interesting facts resulted
from the brief conversation with dear
old Gen. Hunton, who, in speaking of
the electoral commission, made earnest
ard feeling reference to the war be-
tween the states which has been aptly
termed THE Irrepressibie Conflict"
