CONFEDERATE
A prompt formation is made. the Con
federate picket post is surprised and many
of the men captured. The Confederate
camp is at once attacked. and after a
brief and Intellectual resistance is beaten
and dispersed.
Hazen has captured Browns Ferry and
has dislodged the troops placed to guard
it; he occupies the entrance to Lookout
Valley, and the Union forces now hold
the road leading from Chattanooga to
Bridgeport.
Gen. Hazen at once fortified his position
and sent the boats across the river to Gen
Smith. He in turn crossed the river will
the balance of his command in the pom
toon boats and now had a force of 1900
men. By 10 o'clock a bridge is thrown
across the river and the direct way is
open between Chattanooga and Bridge,
port.
Gen. Hooker calamity and promptly
performed his part of the movement. He
reached Wauhatchie Oct. ~ and imme-
diately sent Gen. Howard forward with a
strong force to form junction with Gen
Smith.
Gen. Palmer made his movement as di-
rected, crossed and :ecrOssed the Tenne-
see River and held the country in the rear
of Hooker. Gen. Bragg realized the i'm
pOrtance of regaining this lost ground and
at once concentrated a heavy force to dis
pute the question of possession, but he was
beaten and driven from the valley. The
cracker line" was opened 10y this two
days campaign, and remained open until
Bragg and his army were driven from
Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge
The Importance of this movement as
it was related to the beleaguered and
starving army in Chattanooga cannot be
oyerestimated.
Gen. Smith. Gen. Palmer, Gen. Hooker.
Gen. Howard and Gen. SlOcum exhibited
high soldierly qualities in this short cam
paig3, i'll fact, every officer and soldier
engaged in this important movement per-
formed his duty well. But the picturesque
and hazardous enterprise undertaken by
HaZen and his 500 men, and carried out
with such splendid success, entities them
to special praise and perpetual remem-
brance.
/ must add a few words more. 1t is
due to Gen. w. Il. Smith, Chief Engineer
of the Army of the Cumberland, to say
that he originated the plan of sending
troops down the Tennessee River by boat
to surprise the Confederate camp at
Browns Ferry.
He built the boats and had made every
for the movement, but its ex-
ecution had been delayed. Gen. Grant
saw the feasibility of the plan, and made
it the leading feature in his combination
for capturing and holding the public road
between Chattanooga and Bridgeport.

Col. Oates's camp is soon in sight: it is
reached: it is passed without causing an
alarm; the picket post on the river is also
passed in the early dawn of the morning
and still Gen. Hazen and his heroic band
have not been discovered.
Gen. Smith had reached his position or
the river, and had lighted the signal fire
which was to guide Gen. HaZen. Hazen
reaches the point, sees the signal, and
stops his boat. Without noise. without
confusion, all in perfect order, the boats
as they arrive are given the proper notice

tools. are landed upon the south bank of

In the last fight between the liberals
and the Government forces in the out
skirts of Panama, the insurgents
charged UP the railroad embankment
- times in succession, and were
ten back each time with unusually
.eavy losses on both sides. Herbert
Jeffers, an American soldier Of for
tune, who commanded the Govern
ment forces on that occasion, told me
that the fighting on both sides be-
came so fierce that his gunners were
cut down with machetes while serv-
ing their pieces.
By way Of side comment to this
story q Colombian general told me pri-
vateiy that Jeffers would have lost all
his guns had he not taken them apart
in the midst Of the melee and sent
them back to a better position piece
meal. Jeffers himself was seen to
stagger out of the trenches with the
best part of his favorite machine-gun
strapped to his back, while he kept
the most persistent of the insurrectos
at bay with q revolver.
Presently the order came to embark,
and all were bundled aboard without
further ado.
Next morning we drew near the
coast until we came within a mile Of

4 few days ago an uncommonly

Alcalde, surrounded by half dozen

phases. Here is 4 commodity which,

the country every year-an aggregate
greater than that of the gold and sill

mines in the territory bordering o.
the worlds largest fresh water lake
which have, in single year, recently
petted their owners 4 profit Of fifteen
hundred thousand dollars, or half as
much again as the authorized capital

into the bar parlor Of the Bell Inn
and startled the company by the
scared expression Of his face. He had
been running fast, and it was some
moments before he could a-ticulate
In the meantime the questions put to
him were so many that the confusion
of tongues delayed the lads announce.
ment still further.
It was Hemming, the London de-
tective, who finally drew the boy out
of the curious group and made them
wait for him to speak.
With another scared look the lad at
last painted out:
There's a man lyin' out there on
the road-the Courtstajrs road, little
way past the big house. An I see him

An'-an'-an' so run right away, an
come here to tell you"
1t seemed pretty evident that the
boy had not said all he knew OF
guessed. There was rush for the
door by the occupants of the bar par
lor, and in few moments there was
a stream of people trickling out in the
darkness along the little quay by the
little river, past the harges waiting to
be unloaded, past the ancient stone
gateway of Streams prosperous days
Over the brand-new bridge they went,
in twos and threes, and out upon the
fiat road over the marshes, taking as
their rightful leader the detective
Hemming, who. being afraid that the
frightened boy might give him the slip
held his arm as if in kindly comrade'
ship. The night was dark, and one OF
Hemming's nearest followers held a
lantern, which threw ray Of dancing
light to right and left upon the white
road. the ditch on either side, the wide
stretch of marsh to the left, and the
dull line Of the sea far away on the
right.
Just past the "big house" lonely
mansion standing in fat, wind-swept
grounds between Stroan and the sea,
they came upon the man, lying, as the
boy had described, by the side of the
road. with his head hanging over on
the grassy bank that sloped into the
ditch.
"There-there he is" whispered the
boy, hoarsely.
Hemming beckoned to the man be-
hind to bring up the lantern. hneel,
ing down beside the man on the ground
he lifted his head and threw the light
upon his face.

fisherman. who was we'll known in the
neighborhood.
Here! Give him some of this; it's

flask to Hemming.
