There is no substitute for Mr.. Greeley's
great work. 1t is matchless story of
mighty events which covered period of
the Nations growth from the beginning
of the Government to the close of the re-
bellion. This work is so important a Goa
tribution to our literature that no library
can lay claim to being complete without
it. 1t is scarcely possible to be thorough
ly acquainted with the up-grOwing of the
American Nation out of a collection of
struggling colonies until finally cemented
into one homogeneous union by the civil
war without reading this book. Our edi-
ton of this great work is exactly iden-
teal in matter, size of page and type and
Illustrations with the original. There has
been no abridgement or curtailment of q
single line anywhere, but in addition to
the original work we have added n brief
sketch of the life of Horace Greeley.
We have the sole right to publish an
edition of The American Conflict at o
price which brings it within the reach of
many who hesitated to buy a set of books
the cost of which varied, according to the

1t is almost impossible to bring home
to the average man the economic import
ance of this great National resource. The
loss to the country by forest fires, largely
preventabIe, has been estimated at 500,
100000 every year. In regions where
wood and water are abundant the tend
ency is to take them for granted and for
get all about them. But without cheap
lumber our industrial development would
have been seriously retarded. And agri-
culture demands water. All through
great parts of the West the people are
coming to see that on forestry and irri-
CATION together depends their future pros
perity. VicePresident Roosevelt has
called this the greatest internal question
of the day.

WASHINGTON THURSDAY

Our little band, standing among the dead,
hoping, longing for support-though none
came, as no troops could be rallied to that
position amid the terror and confusion
that prevailed-was compelled to be the
spectators of this terrible scene. Many
noble fellows shed tears of anguish and
rage as they looked upon the solitary flags
wandering over the field in the hands of
their faithful bearers. who anxiously
called aloud for defenders; yet still our
regiment retained its position, their colors,
torn with shot and shell, still gayly flut-
tering in the breeze, the stars and sun
burst cleaning out a calm defiance. Sud
denly rebel brigade detached itself from
line, and ran forward against the position
occupied by the 9th; on they came, and de-
livered a tremendous volley, their discOrd
ant yells grating harshly upon our ears.
Our regiment stood firm as statues, vigOr-
Ously clutching their weapons, waiting the
order of their commander. To stand was
impossible; two more such vOlleys, and the
9th would have been a regiment of dead!
We must either go forward or retreat. 1t
was resolved to advance. The glory that
was offered was too tempting for an Irish
man to resist.

been given to the Irish Brigade" on the
contrary, they took no part in the battle
of the Chickahominy; it was the green
flag of the 9th that deceived the ''Prus,
sian Officer, and occasioned the state
ment in his report.
The glory of that day cost us too much
blood to be easily parted with.
From the general officers of our divi-
sion, our regiment received expressions of
satisfaction and admiration for their
courageous and heroic defense of a most
exposed position, for many hours, against
a vastly superior force. In the closer
phases of the conflict the desperate
strength of the Irish soldier made ire
mCndOus havoc among the ranks of the
enemy. On that day the 9th won great re-
nown, and by their bravery showed them
selves worthy of the land which gave
them birth and of maintaining the honor
of their adopted country.
In this action we lost Capts. Madigan,
Carey, O'Neil, and McCafferty, and
Lieuts. Frank O'Dowd and Richard 7.

in this engagement was II killed, $50

THE BATTLE DESCRIBED BY CoNFED-
ERATE.
In an account of "The Peninsular Cam
pagn" by n Prlssian officer (rebeD the fol
lowing description is taken:
'The pillows of battle ragged fiercely
around. The struggle was man to man,
eye to eye, and bayOnet to bayOnet. The
hostile 'Meagher Brigade (the 9th Mass
achusetts Volunteers, composed chiefly of
lrishmen, offered heroic resistance. After
Il fierce struggle our people were COM
PEELED to give way, and at length all or
ders and encouragements were in vain.
They were failing back in great disorder.
Infatuated, foamed at the mouth, bare
headed, saber in hand, at this critical mo-
ment Gen. Cobb appeared upon the field
at the head of his legion, and with him
the 18th n. G. and Nth Va.
'At once the troops renewed the attack,
but all their devotion and sacrifice were
in vain. The Irish held their position
with a determination and ferocity that
called forth the admiration of our own
officers. Broken into pieces and disOr-
ganized, the fragments of that fine legion
came rolling back from the charge. The
18th n. G.. lost eight standard-bearers,
killed or wounded. Again Gems. Hill and
Andrews led their troops to the attack,
and some regiments covered themselves
with immortal glory. Our troops exhib-
tied a contempt for death that made them
the equal of old, experienced veterans; for,
notwithstanding the bloody harvest the
destroyer reaped in our ranks that day,
no disorder, no timid bearing, revealed
that many of the regiments were under fire
for the first time But the enemy, never
theess, quietly and cooliy held out against
every attack we made, one after the
other, notwithstanding the fact that this
solitary brigade had to stand their ground

When the firing commenced. Tai Pla-

avoid the bullets, but now he got up and
told US that we were prisoners of the
Americans, VINO, he said, were on the
other side of the river with about 400
American soldiers, and would soon be
here. Just at this time several OF Tai
Placido's soldiers came into the house
shouting "Hurrah for the MacabebesP'
and surrounded Barcelona and myself. A
little later FIVE Americans, all armed with
carbines, came into the room where we
we're. They came up to us. and one OF
them asked (which of you is Aguinal-

we write of the determination and cool
ness displayed by our little band in their
isolated position, as only brave men can
and will do. They fought and won for
themselves name which time will hallow
and preserve.
Having gradually retreated and reached
| the lines of Gen. Porter, the enemy could
be observed cautiously following our green
| flag in its retrograde movement, and then
were gradually led on towards that sec
ton of the woods where our regiment had
taken up its position, a fierce conflict at
the same time raging over the extensive
area which surrounded US. Having got
our regiment into good form under the
crest of hill, we perceived, to our aston
ishment, that our entire army had disap-
peared from view, and that we, alone and
unsupported, were left to meet the ad-
yancing foe; while, to add to our dismay
whole batteries, which we had lately seen
in full play, and doing, as we hoped, eff
fective service, were deserted by our men,
and in full possession of the advancing
hordes.
An effort was being made to collect the
scattered and disconnected portions of our
corps in a valley about half mile in the
rear. Midway between that valley and
the advancing yelling enemy the remnant
of the 9th stood in line, amid the chaotic
dispersion that reigned around. Colonies
might be seen vainly striving to collect
the remnants of their regiments; colors
without escort; men rushing madly about,
seemingly without knowing where to go.

scented itself-the capture of our entire
regiment or retreat. The latter, as it
would still preserve to US the advantage
of position, was adopted, though not until
we received orders from Gen. Griffin. We
then made our retreat, gradually and
slowly, contending every inch of ground,
till we reached Porter's main line. This
affair was fought with indomitable firm
ness. When we had orders to advance
and hold the Mill Creek, two other regi-
ments had been ordered to advance with
us. These regiments, however, by some
misrepresentation of orders, did not move
forward with us. This alone would have
been sufficient to intimidate most men;
with the 9th it had n contrary effect.
They advanced and firmly held the posi-
ton, fighting vastly superior force, and
keeping them at bay, until Gen. Griffin
gave orders to fail back; then, for the
first time, the General learned that the
other regiments supposed to be co-operat-
ing with us had not arrived on the ground,
and was therefore, greatly surprised. In
this engagement we had six men killed,

Such 4 narrative is the one told by the
Boy Spy in Dixie. 1t is a relation of
stirring episodes among enemies, in the
face of the gibbet. The author, while
a mere youth, was sent by the great War
Secretary into the heart of the Confed-
eracy.
Here in the midst of constant peril he
watched the dOings of Jeff Davis and his
Cabinet and the Confederate Congress,
and by means of a correspondence in cy-
pher sent forward day by day to the Gov
eminent at Washington the reports of his
observations. His experiences were va
ried and trying. AT times he was in the
confidence of those high in authority in
the Confederacy, and again an object of
suspicion. Finally, by stress of circum-
stances, he was compelled to enlist and
become a Confederate artilleryman; and,
being ordered with the command, deserted
finding his way once more to the protec-
ton of the Union fiag. No sooner had he
reported at Washington, however, than
he was again sent on a perilOus eXpedi-
ton within the Confederate lines. Every
day added to his jeopardy. He was not
only a Union spy, but a rebel deserter.

In this way the month of May and part

til the enemy was repulsed, the regiment
stacking arms and sleeping on the scene
of the encounter, and early in the morn
ing we marched back to our old camp at
Gaines's Mill.
AT GAINEs's MILL.
Immediately on our return to camp, we
received orders to cook some food, and be
ready to march in half an hour, at the
expiration of which time our regiment fell
back about two miles, and stacked arms,
prior to sending out two companies as
skirmishers. Shortly afterwards we re-
traced our way back towards Gaines's
Mill When we arrived at the Mill
Greek we found a section of Tidball's
United States Battery, unsupported, and
CALAMITY cOntesting the passage of the
bridge at the mill. The two flank COM
panies of our regiment were then deployed
as skirmishers, and shortly afterwards it
was found necessary to send out two
more, and finally two more companies, to
support the whole. At this time the
enemy came around US so closely that they
gradually overlapped our lines; we then
saw that only one of two alternatives pre-
