desire to say that / have never seen a
better description of that event in so few

most thrilling and dramatic affairs of the

What wonder that excitement ran high

Gen. Longstreet. a Loyal Ex- Confederate.
(ReligiOuS TeleseOnel

Gen. Longstreet, the distinguished ex-
Confederate, now far advanced in years,
has but recently given expression to his
realization of the 6 fact that, al
though he did not think SO at the
time, he has long since been thoroughly
convinced that the defeat of the mighty at
tempt to overthrow the Union was, to the
South as well as to thetNorth, under God,
a great blessing in Disguise Assurance of
this he gave in recent letter to Gen.
Sickles, in which he comedies that the ad-
vance position taken by that Generals
Corps on the Gettysburg battlefield, at
Peach Orchard, saved the dey for the
Union cause, a question which has been
much discussed since the war.
Gen. Longstreet says in part:
II believe that it is conceded that the
advance position at the Peach Orchard en-
gagement taken by your corps and under
your orders, saved that battlefield to the
Union cause. 1t was the sorriest and sad
dest reflection Of my life for many years;
but today | may say with sncerest emo
tion that 1t was and is the best that
could have come to us all, North and
South, and hope that the Nation re-
united may always enjoy the honor and
glory brought to it by that grand work.
Please express my kindest solicitations to
your Governor and your fellow-comrades
OF the Army of the Potomac. Always sim
cerely yours,

GEN. BUELL'S HOME.
Quaint Old Mansion in Deserted Village o.
Airdrie.

The quaint old-fashioned house con-
tanning about 40 rooms, with its rock
chimneys and vine-covered verandas, sit
uated in the deserted village of Airdrie,
Muhienberg County, on the Southern bank
of Green River, presents one of the most
picturesque scenes that can be imagined,
says the Owensboro Ky.) Messenger.
An ideal place for those who love solitude
and Iuietness and can be much enjoyed
by those who love frOlic and fun. This is
the old home Of Gen. Don Carlos Buell..
A part of the house is now occupied by an
old gentleman and his family, who were
residents of the village during the last
years of Gen. BueIls life. The old gen
tleman is very kind to show and give the
history of the place to visitors. He has
life-like portrait of Gen. Buell..
The front rooms of the house are still
furnished as they were at the time of
Buelrs death, Nov. 49,. 1898, the 47th an
niversary of his wedding day. No admit
tance is allowed to these fooms, as they
are locked and the windows, blinded. The
place is owned by his stepdaughter Miss
Mamie Mason, who now resides in Louis
vile.
The little footpaths that wind around
the cool and shady groves, together with
the gates and bridges. add much to the
scenery. One interesting feature is the
ruins Of an old rock house and furnace
built IN the year 1893 by Alexandria, a
wealthy Scotchman, for the purpose of
making iron, but on account Of the high
transportation this was abandoned. Sew
eral years ago a number Of convicts We're

the magnificent saloon of this fine hotel,
filled as it was with well-dressed and WELL
groomed gentlemen, many of them Off

way to the bar only to be confronted with
a large placard bearing the legend ITO

well, I'll be -" exclaimed my bum
key, here we have been planning for
weeks to treat ourselves to a good drink,
only to be turned down by that thing be-
fore we have had chance to ask for
it."
An officer wearing the shoulder-straps
of Brigadier-General,w was standing at
other gentlemen. Before them was a de-
eanter of whisky and several clean glasses.
Hearing my 'bunkey's" lamentation, he
turned towards us and in very kindly
manner asked US to what regiment we be-
longed. Upon being informed he took two
Of the glasses, saying ''Take drink with
me-" He had very liberal ideas of
drink, for he quite filled the two large
glasses with the nectar of Kentucky. and
before the astonished barkeeper could say
word emptied the remainder of the de-
canter of spirits into our canteen. l have
never seen him since, nor did l wait then
to ascertain his name, but feel sure that
he was a gentleman, a soldier and a
Kentuckian.
Upon our arrival in camp we learned
that Gen. Buell. had been relieved from
command. This news gave great satis-
faction to the army, which had lost faith
in him, and questioned not only his ability
but his loyalty. Indeed, l have often
thought sadly of the cruel injustice and
ingratitude of the country and the army
towards Gen. Buell.. He found the Army
of the Ohio an armed mob, and left it
disciplined and well-organized army He
did for it what Mcclellan did for the
Army of the Potomac; but while ''little
Mac" always retained the love and con-
6dence of his men, Buell. hardly even COM
manded the respect due his position from
his subordinates. He was a graduate Of
West Point, a fine soldier. but a strict
|disciplinarian. He punished struggling
and all other infractions of orders with
heavy hand. He was cold and apparently
distrustful towards most of his officers,
and the men considered him not only un-
necessarily harsh and severe. but too care
full of the property and comfort of the
people who openly sympathized with
rebels. and hated the Union soldier We
did not know then, as we do now. that in
all this long year of hard service and con-
stant marching and drilling he was max
ing an army. His rigid discipline bore
fruit later. and fully vindicated the man
and his methods. There are few of his
old soldiers who are unwilling to acknowl-
edge that all his aims were for the good
of the army and the honor of his country.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and
the Civil War. 1S61-1S65.

1t was the first and M 0st desirable
point of vantage coveted by both the
Federal and Confederate armies. In
May 1861, the four Federal advance
columns concentrated at Parkersburg,
w. Va, Wheeling, w. Va, Harper's
Ferry, w. Va, and at Washington.
To retain the advantage, the Federal
government established block houses
along the railroad from the Monocacy
to the Ohio river, besides forts at
Winchester, Harper's Ferry, Cumber-
land, Piedmont and New Creek, (I<ey-
ser.) The B. & 0. was the base of
operations for the Federal army for
nearly four years and from which the
government could not take advance
line earlier than November 1864.
The B. & O. was the means of COM
munication between the West and
the Army of the Potomac, and was
consequently in continual state Of
siege. Harper's Ferry the key to the
Shenandoah Valley, first famed
through the fanatical attempt of
John Brown, in defying the laws and
customs of his country was captured
or recaptured eight times in three
years. The Government Arsenal and
armories which were located there,
were destroyed by the government to
prevent their capture. One hundred
and seventy nine battles of greater
importance were fought on or ada
cent to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
not taking into consideration the in
Vulnerable skirmishes.

Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago, Co

THE FOOLKILLER NEEDED.
The Cheat Neck Country ESaid to be a
Fine Field for His Operations.

Ida b. Wolf, aged l6 years, Gied
of small pox last week in Cheat
Neck. Altogether there are said to
be eleven cases of this disease in the
Cheat Neck region, involving eight
families. Several cases are in the
Volt family. Business Is almost at
a standstill on account of the dis
ease. The doctors are working hard
to overcome il, and it is said the
greatest obstacle they have to en-
counter is the presumptuous igno-
rance of many of the people who
think they know more about it than
the doctors do. If the fool killer
would only come around in that
neighborhood instead OF the small
pox, aud use little discriminating
judgment, he might do real public
service there. He would have this
advantage over the smallpox, that
the innocent would not suffer need
lessly.-Unlontown Genius.
