After the battle of Stone River the
Army of the Cumberland went into
camp about Murfrcesboro, where it was
destined to remain many months. Gen.
jeff C. Davis was in command of the
division of which my regiment was a
part. We had our bell tents up, and set
tied down for a good rest, when one
of those awful storms peculiar to that
country set in, writes George S. Myers,
company F, One Hundred and First
Ohio, in the National Tribune. WelldoI
remember when, as we were about to
turn in for the night, the orderly, drip
ping with water, came into our tent to
announce orders to march at three
o'clock in the morning, leaving tents
standing. Many things were said that
would not look well in print, but day

Two Frank Confederate General,

The present writer once asked a
confederate general, long after the
civil war (but now many years ago.,
how he really felt about the failure
of himself and his associates to es-
tablish a separate government. He
said: do you want me to tell you
the truth?" The answer was, of
course: eyes, "Wel," said the
honest old veteran, 81 am sorry we
failed; I think we should have done
we'll as separate nation" We
honored him for his frankness, and
afterward told the incident to an
other confederate general. who said:
did Gen. - say that? Well, he
always was failurc!"
We find it difficult to believe that
the stubborn old confederate, were
he living to-day, would still declare
that he was "sorry." But If he did
do so, he would be, as the years
went on, still more of an exception,
still more of psychological curioe-
ity.-Century.

AN ARMY FR0LIC.
There Was No Disorder In the Ranks,
But the Boys Were Having n
Good Time,

"Any mention of the Sixth corps"
said the sergeant, according to the
Chicago Inter Ocean, Railways brings
pleasant memories to me. It was with
US in the Shenandoahval alley until after
Cedar Greek, when it returned to po-
sition in front of Petersburg. We of
the army of West Virginia missed the
boys Of the Sixth, and were homesick
for them. Therefore, when Gen.
Thomas NJ. Harris. commanding the
Second division of the Eighth corps,
received orders December 1, 1864, to
report with his division to Gen. Grant
at City Point, there was great rejoic.
ing. We felt sure that we would soon
touch elbows again with the boys of
the Sixth corps, and when we left the
front to embark at Stephens depot,
below Winchester, there was as much
frolicking as if we had been released
for a holiday.
"An army in frolicsome mood was
great spectacle. There was no dis
order. There was no break in the
ranks. Regiment after regiment
moved forward in regular formation
like we'll oiled parts of great ma
chine, all responsive to the gesture or
low spoken order of the commander in
front. 1t was an army ready for BUSH
nesE, but the men we're joking and
laughing and it so happened they de-
voted great deal of attention to me.
A West Virginian named Zinkie and
myself were left in camp to bring up

POULTRY AT A FABULOUS PRICE.

light found us marching on the Salem
pike, the alleged pike consisting of a
strip of roughly broken stone bordered
with mud. After few miles the stone
gave out, and it's name was mud-deep,
yellow mud. The character of the
storm had changed from that of the
night before, the rain now being well
mixed with snow.
We were not long in finding out that
he movement was not a general one, but
of our division only. Reaching the Vi
cinity of Eagleville, we went into biv-
ouac, where, wet to the skin, the night
was spent around fires of chestnut rails.
One of our boys wore army boots and
navy-blue pants, which had become
so loaded with mud that he cut off the
legs just below the boot-tops, when
dried by the fire the shoddy cloth was
so shrunken that pants and boots did
not connect by many inches.
Our destination was Franklin, which
was reached and occupied without re-
sistance, FORESTS troops retiring after
the exchange Of a. few shots. We
passed through the town and camped
on the identical ground where we as
sisted in defeating Hood'sarm nearly
two years later.
On our march foraging was forbidden
under severe penalty, and the boys were
compelled to use various forms of
strategy in order to vary the regula-
ton diet of bareback, bacon and tallow
candles which was not necessary at
later period of the war; Seeing some
turkeys at farmhouse where a flag
indicated temporary division headquar-
tiers, two comrades surrounded negro
servant and bargained for the poultry
at a fabulous price per head. One fowl
was caught and handed over, and while
the old negro was in pursuit of its mate
number one was hustled into a passing
army wagon. When Gen. Davis was in
formed of the affair staff officer was
sent to overtake and arrest man with
a turkey, but the guilty party was
not found. Our mess had turkey for
supper, and, as was usual in such cases,
the teamster implicated was our guest
at the meal.
During our stay at Franklin two SOL
diers of the division were tried by court.

guard duty in the town. While there
was some variety which the boys in
the camp did not have, such as crack
ing bee-hives after nightfall, and milk
ing cows before daylight, we did not
consider the locality a land of milk and
honey. Guarding spiteful confederates
and their property and meanwhile
sleeping on benches in the courthouse
was not considered snap.
After several weeks other troops
came to remain as garrison, and we
returned to our old camp at Murfrecs.

When first they marched away;
How proud we are, mid scenes more

To welcome them to-day!
They're still the boys with earnest hearts
That years can never chill;
Boys ready still to do their parts
And do them with q will.
Yet Time, with transformation strange,
Has touched them in his flight,
The hair once brown begins to change
To venerable white.
And 20, Fate's irony anew
Asserts a gentle sway;
Since they who were the boys in blue
Are now the boys in gray.

LONG STEPS OUT.
Secretary Of the Navy Hands His Resignation
to the President.

Washington, March 12.-The third
change in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt occurred when Secretary
Long submitted his resignation in a
beautiful letter, it being accompanied
by one equally felicitous by the presi-
dent. The change was made complete
by the selection of Representative Will
lam Henry Moody, of the Sixth con-
gressional district of Massachusetts, as
Mr.. Longs successor in the navy de-
partment.
This change has been expected for a
long time. Mr.. Long had intended to
retire at the beginning of the late Pres
ident McKinley's second term, but he
consented to remain until certain lines
of policy in which he was involved
were more satisfactorily arranged.
Then when President Roosevelt sue
ceeded, though anxious to return to
private life-for Secretary Long will
never again enter public life-a strong
feeling of loyalty toward Mr.. Roosevelt
induced the secretary to defer his re.
tirement until it was convenient for the
president to make change. Recently
Mr.. Long has been in Massachusetts
making arrangements with his old legal
connections to re-enter the practice OF
law, and he has had his house at Hing
ham put in order for his occupation.
When Mr.. Long entered the cabinet
originally he was an active member OF
the firm o; Hemingway & Long, a well
known legal firm of Boston. He has
always maintained a silent connection
with the concern, and will again be.
come an active partner.

DANGER TO SHIPPING.
Immense Ice Flocs Reported or the Coast Of
Japan-Early Spring in the North.

~S''y St'''S W WV ''~'''''
Port Townsend, Wash, March 49,
The British ship Bann, the last Of the
storm-bound feet off the entrance to the
Straits of Juan de Fuca, has arrived,
SO days from Iquique, "a days of which
she was bound off the straits.
Seven times the Bann got inside Of
Cape Flattery, and as no tug was there
to pick her up, she was compelled to
put back to sea. The Bann reports no
other vessels off the Cape.
The British steamship Oceano reports
to the local United States photographic
Office as having encountered an i'm
mense ice foe about 200 miles off the
japanese coast, abreast the entrance to
Sugar straits. So extensive was the ice
foe that the steamer was compelled to
change her course and steam for several
hours t. avoid coming in collision with
the ice. The ice foe is in the direct
path of vessels sailing to the Orient,
and as it is quite extensive, it is dan
gerous to navigation. The captain of
the Oceano says the ice is from four to
six feet out of the water, and some of
the bergs are many feet across, and
cannot be seen until the vessel is among
them. This is the first time ice has
been seen off the japanese coast in that
vicinity. 1t is thought that the foe
came from Behring Straits and the
Arctic ocean, and that through some
unknown cause the ice pack in the
Arctic has broken earlier and that it in
dicates an early spring in the north.
