To Public Teachers.

Every public school teacher should
know that a failure to teach pupils to
spell and read correctly is inexcusable,
and also fatal to the pupils future prog
ress. Let Latin. Greek, Grammar and
Geography go, IL needs be, and teach
spelling and reading. Pr, baby you
don't know it, but it is fact, that not
one pupil in ten, OF the public school
pupils of the county who have "finish-
ed" can read and write a page of the
simplest matter correctly. Many OF
the teachers are in the same boat.

Mr.. Isaac Chapman Sick.

Mr.. L. f. Chapman has been confin-
ed to his bed since last Sunday, but,
we are glad to report, is better at this
writing. On last Sunday he was strick-
en- with a slight stroke OF paralysis,
which alarmed his friends and family.
His condition was thought to be serious.
His children were summoned hastily to
his bedside. The stroke proved to be
very slight one, however, and his
condition at this writing is such as to
remove fear on the part of his family.

AT THE FAIR
Geo. McCall's Sulky Breaks
Down the First Day.

On Tuesday, the first day of the Fair,
Mr.. II CT. Mccall narrowly missed a
very serious, and perhaps fatal acci-
dent.
He was getting ready for a race in
which he was to drive, and was speed
ing his horse ON the track just before
starting AS he reached the stand one
wheel of his sulky came off, or was
broken, throwing him out. Fortunate
ly he was driving slowly at the time
and number Of by-standers caught
the frightened horse, and no serious
harm was done. Had the accident oc-
Cured a few minutes later the results
would have proven serious.

NEUTRALITY.
1t is not my purpose in this story to
give history of the political condition of
Kentucky at the beginning of the civil
war. The reader of history is familiar
with the fact that the State, on the bor-
der, between the two contending armies,
assumed an attitude of neutrality, which
was ignored almost simultaneously, by the
Confederate and the Federal armies.
l quote from Shaler's History of Ken
| lucky, the author being a Kentuckian and
a Union man:
The curious feature in the behavior of
Kentucky at this time-early in Septem-
Der, 1S61,-is the simple, indeed artless.
exhibition of human nature in the whole
transaction. 1t was singularly popular
movement. Generally in the action of
large communities in time of such trial
the course of State is dictated by GER
tain leaders-deliberate statesmen who di-
rect the course of events in highly arti-
fetal channels, SO that there is 4 cold, dis
ciplined quality in the results; or, if this
is wanting, it is because some fierce out
burst of passion has carried the people
onward into headlOng ruin. l do not
know where else to find the likeness of
these political movements of Kentucky,
SO dignifed, and self-respecting as they
were.

CAVALRY AT wAYNEsBOR0.
Gen. Fitzpatrick and the sth Ind. Not Car
tured.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The ar
ticles of Comrade Giberg, 9Th Ohio Cav,
in the issue of Aug. 20, brings very wildly
to my mind my own experience at Waynes-
boro. The 9Th Ohio belonged to the Third
Brigade, Col. Spencer. Gen. Fitzpatrick
was with the Sth Ind. CAY. at the time
mentioned. -
We were on the move to the sea, having
had a number of tits with Gen. Wheeler's
cavalry, and on Nov. p, 1864, were in the
vicinity of Waynesboto, Ga, where the
command had gone into camp for the
night. Everything was quiet, and we were
resting after a days march; but Gen.
Wheeler thought to capture portion of
the boys at least, SO about 2 o'clock in
the morning he charged Gen. Fitzpatrick,
from two sides. This was unexpected, and
in the darkness things became somewhat
mixed: in fact, a portion of the Sth Ind.
Cav. found themselves inside the rebel
lines, and only escaped capture by inquir-
ing for the 10th Ga, which they knew was
upon their left, and under the pretense of
joining it worked their way out. Finally
Col. Murray got the Third Brigade in
line, when they CALAMITY charged the
rebels and drove them back. Still, we
could hear the old rebel yell as they at
tempted some new move which was in
variably met and repulsed. The 9Th Ind
Cav. was afterward highly complimented
by the brigade commander for the gal
lantry and bravery with which they rushed
at the enemy and repealed several attacks.
The Third Brigade then mounted and. at
the commend ''Tr0t" started away from

AT about o'clock in the afternoon
a portion of the Sixteenth Corps charged

the enemy had n strong line of fortihca-
tons, and the First Brigade of this di-
vision charged at about the same time and
carried the hill in their front, which re-

COX'S DIVISION.
Following are extracts from the reports
of Brig. Gen. Jacob d. Cox, commanding
Third Division, Twenty-third Corps, and
his three brigade commanders:
"About 4:30 Gen. Smiths line was seen
to reach the summit of the conical hill,
and Doolittle was ordered to charge. This
he did in the most gallant manner, the
18th Ky. having the lead and charging
the salient and battery in their front. The
enemy was manifestly disconnected. Their
fire was too high, and did no injury TO our
troops as they scaled the rocky hill. Stiles
was promptly up, aud as the whole line
went forward the enemy broke in confu-
sion. making the best of their way across
the hills toward the Franklin pike"
From report of Col. Chas. c. Doolittle,

selves within 500 yards of the enemy, who
was we'll posted on high hills, behind
works erected during the night, our Skin
