And on Aug. 13, 1868, Gen. Grant
wrote the following letter to w. p. Mel
len, Treasury Agent:
The moment purchasers of cotton are
allowed in. the market, that moment all
the cotton in the Southern States becomes
the property of that class of persons who
are authorized to sell and receive pay.
More than half Of the cotton now in the
South is the property of the sO-called
Southern Confederacy, for their benefit.
This, of all others, will find its
way to market. and will be sold
by actual agents of the so-called Con.

RosecraEs at Chattanooga from Nicks-

On Sept. %, after having given Sher-
man his orders to reinforce Rosecrans,
Gen. Grant again wrote TO Gen. Hallcck
in regard to Mobile as follows:
II am confident that Mobile could now
be taken with comparatively smal!
force. At least, demonstration in that
direction would either result in the aban-
donment of the city, or force the enemy
TO weaken Braggs army to hold it" Five
days later he said to Gen. Halleck: Il

force with which to attack Mobile or the
river above. As | am situated, however,

already taken from the enemy. do not
say this complainingly. but simply regret
that advantage cannot be taken of so fine

heavy blow"
TO TEXAS FIRST.
But the campaign in Texas had been
planned, and operations against Mobile
had to wait.
Gen. Mcpherson, with the Seventeenth
Corps, now held Nicksburg and the ada
cent country. He was ordered by Gen.
Grant to send strong body of troops
against Jackson and Canton, Miss, the
object being to hold all Confederate
troops then in central Mississippi and pre-
vent their concentration against Sherman
on his march.
The situation at Chattanooga became
more and more alarming every day. Rose
crans's army was actually in state of
siege, on short rations, and cut off from
direct communication with their base;
provisions were being hauled TO miles
over mountain roads infested with Con
federate cavalry.

TO TELL GOOD CIGARS.
Judges of Their Fine Points Few
and Far Between.

Judges of Their Fine Points Few
and Far Between.
Tho Judges of good cigars in this
country are few and far between, says
an expert. The great difficulty With
the people who think they know cigars
is that they lay too much stress on the
color of the weed. The color makes not
the slightest difference. and you are
just as likely to find one of the rankest
kind of cigars with the deep black col.
or of the genuine Havana as you are
to find bad one among those that are
yellow as straw.
The best way to tell a cigar Is by
the feel of it. Take cigar In your
hands and give ii gentle pressure,
holdlngSit close to the ear If the cigar
is a good one, it will hc just the least
little bit flexible, and the fingers will
sink into the wrapper. 1t gives forth
no perceptible sound. II the cigar is
hard and close rolled and when placed
to the ear sounds as though you were
pressing straw together beware. The
best cigars are made of the same leaf
as the wrapper and are closely rolled
The common cigars are what Is known
as filled and contain all kinds of refuse
from the tables where the good cigars
are made. There are some filed cigars
that are good smokes. but you seldom
find Havana or Manila or good Gu.
ban or Key West smoke that Is not
rolled. Many people who go into ci.
gar store to get an imported smoke do
not follow up the salesman when he
takes the cigars from the case and are
consequently often fooled. They are
given domestic brands and are chars
ed Imported prices for them.
These good cigar judges" cannot
tell the difference when there Is all
the difference in the world. Ii you must
