OF the 9Th Ind. Cav. When Gen. Rousseau
arrived at Marietta, Ga, having made his
notable raid through Alabama, he resigned
the command to McCook, and returned to
his post at Nashville. The brigade was
with McCook when he made his raid on
LoveJoys Station. In the battle at New.
man, Col. Harrison, of the Sth Ind. Cav.
tnen commanding the brigade, was cap
tured, and Lieut.-Col. F. A. Jones, of the
Sth Ind. Cav, succeeded to the command.
Quickly reforming the brigade, the 9Th
Ind. IN advance, he charged the enemy.
and cut his way out. His action opened
the way for many of the division to escape.
including Gen. McCook himself.
When We arrived at Sandtown the di.
vision was placed under command of Gen.
fitzpatrick. Gen. Eli FL. Murray assumed
command of the First Brigade. However,
when Fitzpatrick made his first raid on the
railroad, in the rear of Atlanta, he having
been reinforced by small division con-
slsting OF two brigades under Gen. Gar
rard, he put Col. Murray in command Of
his division, and Lieut.. Col. Jones, of the
Sth Ind Cav, again in command of the
First Brigade, Fitzpatrick. of course, CON-

After the fall of Atlanta the division
was recognized for the march to the sea,
On that famous march, and in the Caro-
lima campaign as we'll, the First Brigade
was commanded by Col. Thomas ]. Jor-
dan, of the 9th Ga. Cav.
One of the most dramatic incidents Of
the march through Georgia was the de-
feat of Wheeler at Waynesboro. The Sth
Ind, dlsmounted and unsupported, was
fighting the entire Confederate force, when
Fitzpatrick dashed up to Jordan and i'm
peratively ordered him to charge the town
to go to the relief of the Sth Ind.
Col. Jordan, of the 9th Pa. Cav, and
Col. Jones, of the Sth Ind. Cav, were
both native Pennsylvanians, but a spirit
OF rivalry, almost hatred, existed between
them. AT the battle of Averasboro, n. c.,
Col. Jones, with the 9Th Ind Cav, was
left alone to fight Col. Rhett's South Car
olina Brigade of six regiments from early
dawn until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Col.
Jordan neglecting to support him. After
the battle there was an alteration be-
tween the two Colonies that very nearly

The International Typographical I'm
ion, with several hundred delegates from
all parts of the country, has just held an
important session in this city. Many sub
jects of great interest to the craft, some
Of which touched the policies Of organized
labor generally, were earnestly discussed.
The dispute between the printers union
and the association of publishers was q
leading topic. Mr.. Frederick Driscoll,
for 40 years publisher of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press, now Arbitration Commits
sioner of the Publishers Association, de-
livered long address. He said cOntinu-
GUS industrial peace had been enjoyed for
more than two years under the plan of ar
bitration adopted by the Publishers As
ISOLATION and the International Typo
graphical Union, and, until the occurrence
of the two strikes at Seattle and Spokane,
which he characterized as "inexcusable,"
contending that the reasons put forth JUS
tifying those strikes are untenable. He
said that if arbitration had been adhered
to, according to the obligations of the
agreement. there would have been no srtike
or disturbance of friendly relations. At
later session President Lynch replied to
Mr.. Driscoll, justifying his action, and
the blame on the employers from

A financial panic is among the posi-
bilties of the Presidential year, and it
goes without saying that the effect of one
on the Republican side of the campaign
might be disastrous. So convinced are the
leaders of the party on this point that they
will take no risk, and are determined to
provide. as far as possible, for any emer-
gency that may arise. This is the real
feeling behind the movement for currency
legislation. If crisis should come the
Treasury will be fully prepared and en-
powered to meet it.
