tiio. oauiro II. JAWS, near naccOOn
Ford, Culpepper county, Va.
After the death Of Gen. Jeb Stuart
on the 18th Of May, 1864, at Yellow
Tavern, General Hampton became the
commander Of the cavalry of the Army
of Northern Virginia. Soon after
General James H. Wilson's raid on
the 2lst of June, 1864, and the
Nance's shop fight on the 24th, left
the command and did not join them
again until Fitz Lees division went
into the valley, some time in August
or September.
Now comes the "cattle raid" This
raid is familiar to many of Hampton 8
old command, but there were other
bodies of cavalry not under his imme-
date command, and l am sure that
all If our old soldiers will be glad to
have an account Of it. Therefore, for
the benefit Of all who may be inter-
ested in this famous of all raids, I
shall quote from Wells Hampton
and his Cavalry in 1861" This was
considered one of the most daring and
dangerous raids made by any cavalry
commander during the civil war, and
hence deserves more than an ordinary
notice. | am sorry that was not
with them. Mr.. Edward L. Wells
has given US such an accurate aud en-
tcrtaining account of the raid that I
therefore reproduce that part of his
book and in his own language. He
says:
"Near Coggins' Point, en- the James
river, less than i've miles east of City
Point and opposite to Westover, was
large herd Of cattle belonging to the
Army Of the Potomac. C;ty Poipt
was the headquarters of the Army of
the Potomac, and in order to locate
these cattle, Hampton employed trusty
scouts. On the morning of the 14th
of September Hampton moved out
upon the expedition from his position
south of Petersburg. He took with
him w. H. F. Lees division, Rosser' {
and Bearings brigades and 100 men
from Young's and Demorant's bri
gades. He marched as far as Wilkin
sons bridge and bivouacked for the
night. Making an carly start The
next morning, bearing nearly north
reached during the day Cooks bridge

eating the beeves to Sergeant Shad-
bourn, of the jeff Davis Legion. Ser
geant Hogan, in charge Of Buffers
Scouts, also did excellent service.
Gas long as the Beef lasted I ara
sure that our men enjoyed the fresh
meat. Now, let's see about how long
it lasted, allowing one pound of beef
per day to the man. For the sake of
round numbers, say that there were
$500 cattle at 1000 pounds to the
steer, which gives US $500, 900 pounds
OF meet, and at 10 cents per pound
YOU can see that Uncle Sam furnished
the Confederates the sum of s25, 900.
Assuming that General Lee had 5O,-
600 men around Petersburg, and di.
vidiug 100000 pounds by $4,000 it
gives us fifty days in which to con-
sumo all Of the beef at one pound per
day to the man, making nearly two
months that our troops enjoyed
Hamptons beefsteak. In my last
article, in speaking of Sherman wan.

Carolina, had inadvertently wrote

vaccination CONES from Porto Rico.
Up to 1890 there was an annual death
rate from smallpox of over 600. In
that year, in four months. $50, 900
vaccinations were made. Since then
the mortality from smallpox has been
but two per annum in population Of
about million.

HEARING ON THE LIBRARY BILL.
Mayor Will Approve If Exposition
Title Is Clear.

Mayor Wells announced yesterday at the
conclusion Of the public hearing OF tho
Expostion-Public Library site bill that he
would sign the measure permitting the Pub
lie Library Board Of Directors to purchase
the Exposition property for the purpose Of
erecting a new library building. Attorney
F. Lehman argued for the library Board
Of Directors. of which he Is president. and
Manager William J. Atkinson of the Expo
sition company represented the stockhold-
ers OF that institution.
Mr.. Atkinson stated that the title to the
Exposition property is clouded on account
OF debt. He declared that the bill under
consideration was meant to deprive the Ex-
position stockholders of their rights.
Mr.. Lehman stated among other reasons
why the Exposition should. be sold that Its
stock is valueless because 1t has not paid
dividends and has large floating debt. 1t
is the only available site for a library. he
said, and in no other way than by acquiring
the site can the city avail itself Of Mr..
Carnegie's munificence.
Mayor Wells seated that he would cen-
suit the City Counselor in reference to the
effect the title OF the Exposition property
in its present state might have upon the
sale, and that IL he learned that it
would have no effect he would sign the bill.
