where there is row but one.
There were six occasions during the
war of 1S6l-65 when the fate of the
Union depended upon the outcome of a
single battle and a single day Four of
these momentous crises were on Sun
day.
The battle of Savage's Station was
fought on Sunday, June 20. 1862 the
great decisive event of the Seven Days
fight. General Sherman with $4,000
men-the then left wing of McCiellan's S
army-had been left in perilous posi-
ton. Had he been disastrOusly defeat
ed, that wing of the army would have
been destroyed, and the balance OF the
Union forces would have undoubtedly
met the same fate on Monday; the
army would have fallen-that is to say.

ways be considered by the world at
large. however, as the first aggressive
blow struck in favor of the Union in the
civil war. 1t is almost universally known
that this battle was fought July 81, 1861,
and "Lossing's History may be cited
in confirmation of the date. July 81
1861, was Sunday.
1t is not too daring to assert that the
Union was four times saved from over
throw on Sunday. Historians and others
have paid but meager attention TO the
question as to how often the Union was
near the end of its undivided existence
during the civil war. From the time
that Two great armies stood opposing
each other in Virginia, the Federal Cap
ital behind one and the Confederate Cap
ital in the rear of the other, there never
was a day during the fearful conflict of
l-65 when the destruction of either
one of those hostile armies would not
have meant the fall of the cause which
il represented.

very perilous one. Had 1t not been
for the splendid fighting done by Han

action of General Couch as soon as he

On Sunday. May s, 1864, the battle of
Spottsylvania Court House began. The
echo of the last gun of the great strug-
gle of the Wilderness had not yet died
away before the thunder of Grants ar
tillery was heard on the Pc River.
1t has been affirmed by certain au-
thorities that the left flank movement
made by General Grant. by which ne
not only turned Lee out of his strong
position in the Wilderness, but rthe :ed

sheets of iron which formed the deck.
On top of this deck which was about a

On Sunday. September IA. 1862, the
battle of South Mountain was fought.
on which occasion defeat to the Union
army would have meant almost incvit-
able disaster to the Union cause. Wash
ington would in all probability have been
taken IN point of fact. both Lincoln
and Halleck gave Washington up as lost
according 10 Mcclellan. who says on
page 535 OF "McClellan's Story" that
they both protested to him that this
city could not be saved. but he thought
differently.

The Union was twice saved from over

charlottesville. The last day OF the
battle was Sunday, May 3. 1863.
The march of Hooker from Germania
and Ely's Fords of the Rapidan River
on charlottesville was, in certain
sense, a turning" movement but, as
the sequel showed. 1T compelled Hooker
to fight battle with virtually i'm
passable river in his rear. for at hat
season The river could not be crossed
without pontoons-always hazardous in
war. At TO what else contributed to

HE CAUGHT A DRUMFIsH
That is what Mayor Cox Did, Judge
Wilson TO the Contrary Notwith-
standiau

Ex-Mayor Cox was over north Of Eu-
reka the other day and caught an eight
pound drum fish. and when he came home
he had it served at a supper. at which
several of his friends participated They
all pronounced the fish the best they
had ever eaten.
Judge Thomas c. Wilson heard of the
fish and yesterday he met the ex-mayor
and told him that he had seen many of
those drum fish and that they were really
fine. but they were q salt water fish and
he was unable to tel how one of them
ever got mp TO Eureka. The fisherman
very PROMPTLY informed the judge Of the
probate court that he did not know a
thing on earth about histology if he said
a thing Ike that.
1t is pretty rough when the ex-mayor

they are found only in salt water. when
