The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1901-10-29

1 will give you a brief statement OF
the duel: Colonel Connolly of the
Fifty-ffth North Carolina regiment,
became offended at a report that his
regiment behaved badly in the pres
ence of the enemy the night before.
He came to Gen. Laws headquarters
and inquired il he had made such a
statement, and Law replied that he
had, but not of his own knowledge, but
on information that he received from
Captain Terrell and Cussons of his
staff. Connolly denounced 1t as a
f%alsehood, dismounted from his horse
and went to Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral Terrell's tent, where the two gen.
tlemen were. He demanded a retrac-
ton from Terrell, which he declined,
and then turning to Cussons replied;
Colonel, l did not, but | will tell
you l now say, If your regiment has
orders to retire when the enemy APP
pears in its front,it obeyed orders last
might very promptly"
Thereupon Connolly informed him
that he would hold him personally re-
sponsible, to which Cussons replied:
"All right, Colonel, l will be happy
TO accommodate you"

with raw in Time.

Before they were ready for the third
round, information was received from
khe other couple of combatants that
the challenge was withdrawn and the
matter settled. Thereupon Cussons
and Belo shook hands and parted
friendly.
Cussons' second shot cut Belo on the
back OF the neck, which caused some
blood to flow. and he did not complain
NOR mention the fact that he was
wounded. 1t was a very cool and gall
tant affair, in which both gentlemen
acted honorably. This occurred near
Suffolk, Va, in April, 1863.
AT the battle of Gettysburg Colonel
Connolly lost one Of his arms and
Major Belo became colonel Of the
regiment. Col. Belo became quite sue
cessful in newspaper business in Tex
as. He died a few weeks ago

che real Of our encampment. Major
Belo and Captain Cussons fought with
Mississippi rifles forty steps apart.
They fired two rounds, and handed the
guns to the seconds to be loaded
again. Cussons remarked to Belo that
they were doing very poor shooting,
and that ne expected to have killed the
major at that second fire.

Co. Oates Story.
(Richmond. Va, letter.

A great deal has been written and
published about the duel fought dur
ing the civil wal between Capt. John
Cussons of Glen Allen, Va and Col.
A. II. Belo. Some of the reports pub
1ished have been erroneous, and others
unintentionally reflected In some
ways upon Captain Cussons.
Hon. William c. Oates, who was a
brave confederate soldier, and who lost
one arm in the civil war, was present
at the duel, and watched the whole af-
fair. Colonel Oates was for many
years a member of the house of repre-
sentatives in Washington, and was
afterwards governor of Alabama. He
was recently asked to write an ac-
count of the duel for the Richmond
Times published here. Col. Oates

The republican newspapers of Des
Moines are so far showing more fair
ness in the campaign for governor than
they showed in the senatorial cam
paigns of recent years. They are now
doing the work of newspapers more
than they did then. The effort they
made to boom the Des Moines candi-
date for the senate, suppressing news
as to other candidates, did not help
the cause they were laboring to pro-
mote, injured themselves in the estima-
ton of the rest of the state, and hurt
the party. 1t may be their editors,
like other folks, learn as time goes on.
One reason they have adopted the bet
ter plan is doubtless because the local
sentiment at Des Moines is not as
nearly unanimous for any one man as
it was in the senatorial contests.

The Anita Herald reached our table
again last week. 1t contained the an
nouneement that its suspension for the
past six weeks was because of the edi-
tors sickness, he having been down
with typhoid fever, Editor Waite was
evidently offended at our statement
that the suspension was for business
reasons. That information was derived
from some of our exchanges. We
failed to see the Herald's announce
ment at the time of its temporary sus-
pension. II we had seen that we would
have given its reasons instead of those
obtained from other sources. We
thought we were giving the facts and
we had no desire to injure Editor Waite
or his business in any way

Wonder is expressed by some that
men should struggle SO for political
distinction. 1t is pointed out that
Frank Jackson and General Drake
soon tired of the position of governor,
and that other occupants of that Office
were much Disappointed and dissatis-
fed with its honors after they had
secured them. But notwithstanding
men strive for the place each two or
four years with the same earnestness.
1t is much the same in all high posi-
tions, men striving to obtain them and
then surprised to find the emptiness of
the distinction and honor going
with the place after they get it.
Some say men want political Office for
the money to be made out of it. We
do not think this is the case with many
for nearly all can make more at some
other business than Office holding.
There is fascination about holding
office in our civil government that turns
the heads of many people. 1t is hard
to find the hidden motives that most
impel men to strive for political dis
tinction. Success in politics gives
notoriety and fame much more than
success in business or professional
life, but il seldom brings half as much
wealth. So far as happiness is con-
cerned, men are happy when busy at
congenial occupation, and he who loves
politics is as happy when in his element
as is his neighbor who loves the law, or
the farm or the store, and is in his ele-
ment.

There are two factions in Iowa re-
publican politics. Nobody denies that
state of affairs. Both are organized as
we'll as they can be, both have bright
men within their ranks and good fight
ers. If the people of the state are to
overthrow one organization, it will be
to give the power to another, which by
virtue of its success proves itself to be
stronger and greater. But before that
is done should not an indictment be
drawn against the one to be overthrown,
and should not case be proved against
it? The Telegraph believes that or
carnations will always control politi-
cal affairs, Just as they control every
thing else. II knows that one is now
in control in Iowa, and that another
one wants the job, brit the change
should be made in due form, there
should be list of charges preferred,
testimony taken, and the formal decree
of the people sought after they are

acquittal will result. Tele-
