&gS2EffzsEassfSS@s Battle of Lookout Mountain.

Copyrighted. 1901 by the Dublis
On the morning of Nov. "a, 1863. the
National forces in front of Chattanooga
and in Lookout Valley were under arms at
an early hour
The successful movement Of Gen.
Thomas in clearing his front the evening
before was not only a great inspiration to
his army, but gave him a position in the
Valley of great strength and sufficiently
near the base of the Ridge to threaten
Gen. Bragg's second line.
Orchard Knob, piece of high ground
in front of the town, had been taken from
% the enemy and became the headquarters
of Gen. Grant and Gen. Thomas. They
fook possession of the Knob on the morn
ing of the 24th. Here they had 4 splen-
did view of the panorama of war, and
from this point they issued their orders.
The plan of battle was that the Army
of the Cumberland, which occupied the
center, should wait the result of the at
tackS of Sherman and Hooker upon the
right and left fanks of Bragg's army.
While Sherman, in the early hours of
the morning of Nov. "a, was ferrying his
troops across the Tennessee River and
building pontoon bridges, Gen. Hooker,

Ireland's brigade, consisting OF the Goth,
102d. 18th and the 149th \. Y. The
march OF these troops was directed up the
face of the mountain, the slope of which
was at least 45 degrees. They contin-
ued to march until the front of the 29th
Pa. reached the perpendicular wall of the
mountain. The column was closed up and
faced northward toward the enemy.
These six regiments constituted the
front. Col. Gotham threw out skirmishers
from both of his regiments. and Col. Ire
land moved the 1929 n. Y. forward to
the skirmish line.
The line of battle and the line OF
skirmishers extended from Lookout Creek
to the wall of the mountain. Brig.-Gen
Walter c, Whitaker, who, with his bri-
gadc, had made a march of % miles the
day before from Shellmound, to join in
this attack, followed next in order with
his six regiments. He also marched di-
rectly up the mountain until he reached
the bluff, and then formed in two lines
to the front. The front line was
composed of the Sth Ky, Both Ind,
99th Ohio and 10th Ohio. This line was
about $40 yards in rear of the front line.
The 96th Ill. and the 51St Ohio formed the
second line of Whitaker's brigade, 100
yards in rear Of the first, with the right
of the Goth Ill. clinging to the precipice.

Sole Survivor of Spirit Lake Massacre.
(St. Paul Dispatch.)

Mrs. Abbie Gardner Sharpe, Of OkobOji,
for whose ransom from the Indians the
State of Minnesota paid nearly $1,000,
and for which was appropriated by the
Minnesota Legislature $4,000, and who Is
now the sole survivor OF the Spirit Lake
Indian massacre of 1857, is now asking
the State Of Iowa to purchase the old
Gardner cabin, where the massacre
started, and turn the same into 4 museum
for Indian relics.
Mrs. Sharpe at that time was Abbis
Gardner, girl of A. When her parents
and relatives were murdered by the In
dians she was led away into captivity
by the band, along with three other wo-
men. Two of the four were killed en-
route by the Indians; the third, Mrs.
Marble, was sold and finally ransomed,
and the fourth, Miss Gardner, after an
exciting three months in the wilderness,
was turned over to Indians at YanktOn,
). d., and by them delivered to the
United States Indian Agent at Yellow
Medicine. II was for the succor of Miss
Gardner and Mrs. Marble that the Mime
sofa Legislature set apart a special fund
of $4,000, almost one-third OF which was
used.
The massacre occurred on March 8,
1851, and it was not until May 80, Of the
same year, that Miss Gardner was re-
leased, and nearly a month later that she
appeared in st. Paul.

Their Strong Hostility to Commis sioner
Evans.


In an interview with the Washington
correspondents Senator Burton denied that
he had been asked by his constituents to
oppose the confirmation of Mr.. Evans to
any other appointment, but said
ITO be absolutely frank in this matter,
| must admit that the soldiers of Kansas
are very much incensed toward Commits
sioner Evans. Their opposition to the
Pension Commissioner is not so much on
account of his rulings as on account of the
libels he has uttered against them from
time to time. The soldiers of the CIVIL
war fought to preserve the Treasury Of
the United States, and now that they have
returned to peaceful pursuits have no in
tcntion of committing raids upon it, not
withstanding Commissioner Evans's as
sertions to that effect in language writ
ten and spoken.
There is not the slightest prospect Of
the soldiers of Kansas ever being in
conciiatory mood toward Mr. Evans
They feel that he has gone out of his way
to cast slur upon their patriotism, their
services to their country and upon their
manhood. In view of all these things,
they believe that to promote him rs n slap
at the deserving soldiers of the country.
'As far as the soldiers of Kansas are
concerned, they are just as anxious to see
none but deserving veterans receive pen
siOns as is Commissioner Evans. They
object to being called Treasury looters.' I"

great invention should have been perfect
ed by an artist, instead of by such scien-
fists as Faraday and Henry, or others
whose work was largely along the lines
leading up to it.
May this not be explained by the fact
that the scientist is engaged in developing,
or rather discovering, and explaining GER
tain principles, whereas the great artist
must be trained in the science of combi-
nation. He studies TO combine his colors
and thoughts for certain effects.
The portrait must not only be true in

by combining the strength of the noun
tain crag with the beauty of the shaded
brook and the sentiment of the lovers
bower, so he was able, as an inventor, to
make his alphabet from ideas suggested
by semaphoric signals, to use the dynamic
force Of electricity, which had recently
been discovered by Faraday and developed
by Henry, and the constant-current bat
terry of Daniel, as well as the mechanical
