had replied.

WAR STORIES.
t Iorpedoes-Contederat First Proved
Iheir Value in Modern Warfare.
Talbot Stanley in Grit.

found Capt. Maury the acknowledged
head Of torpedo learning Of the world,
and by request of the several Govern
ments he instructed naval Off GERS of
England, France. Russia, Holland
and Germany in the use of the new
weapon. All Of these countries i'm
mcdiatcly adopted the idea and i, has
formed large part of their defence,
with our own, ever since.
The modern torpedo is unlike the
old at air "a can be imagined. Nova
days we shoe. torpedoes into the water
where, by the propulsion Of their own
inside mechanism, they dart through
the water toward the ship attacked.
Ingenious attachments make the tor
pedo almost sure to go in O straight
line, and is not at all difficult matter
to hit the object aimed at. A de-
scrlptlon OF the internal arrangements
of torpedo would be understood only
by the initiated, SO it will not be at
tempted. The torpedo itself is d..
vided into five compartments. At the
nosc--the front Of the thing, which
would come first into contact with the
side Of the vessel--is the charge of
200 pounds Of gun cotton, which is ex-
plodcd by impact. Just behind this
chamber is the air chamber, then the
buoyancy chamber, and then the en-
CINE room. The propellers are oper-
atcd with compressed air and the
radius of effectiveness is said to be
about 1000 yards; that is to say, the
torpedo can be driven in straight
line that distance before the com
pressed air gives out and the propeller
stops.
On some Of the big battlcships and
cruisers there are submerged torpedo
tubes from which this terrible death
engine can be sent out without cxpos
urc to the enemy. The torpedo boats
have their tubes on deck and the tor
pcdo takes leap over the side before
striking the water. On some vessels
there is chain protection that can
be lowered all about the ship and
which catches and holds torpedocs
without exploding them. The chain
is hung from booms at a sufficient dis
tance from the ships side to insure
complete safety. In the hands of
ignorant or careless persons the tor.
pcdo is extremely dangerous, but if
rightly handled there are rarely ever
accidents.

A Story OF Love.

The young mans heart began to
beat violently, and his face turned very

said, "that my intentions are strictly

a. Gen. Jackson was badly wound
ed at that fight and died few days
after. Dr. Dabney could hardly have
got the idea fom him.
When Lieut.. Col. Henderson wrote
the life Of Jack sou with the deter
mlnation ito write only truthful his
tory, he published the following let
ter from Gen. Lee to Mrs. Jackson,
10 which, besides noticing other err
rors of DIR. Dabney, he says il regard
to Charlottesville:
| am misrepresentcd at the battle
OF Chancellorsville in proposing an
attack in front the first evening of our
arrival. On the contrary, | decided
against it and stated to Gen. Jackson,
we must attack on our left as soon as
practicable; and the necessary move
ment Of the troops began Immediately.
La consequence Of report received
about that time, from Gen. Fitz Lee,
describing the position Of the Federal
army and the roads, which he held
with his cavalry, leading to its rear,
Gen. Jackson, after some inquiry con-
corning the roads leading to the Fur
mace, undertook to throw his command
entirely in Hooker's rear, which he
accomplished with equal skill aud
boldness; the rest of the army being
moved TO the left flank to connect with
him as he advanced. I think there
is some mistake, too, of regiment Of
infantry being sent by him to the ford
on the Rapidan, as described by Dr..
Dabney."
That Gen. Gordon is right in his
statement that Chancellorsville was
fought against the original ideas Of
Gen. jackson is in agreement with
the opinion current at the time in the
Army of Northern Virginia. An at
tack against the front of the army
was proposed and favored by Gen.
jackson.
Gen. Lee arrived on the battlefield
early on the first day of the fight and ,
OF course, took command. The battle
was fought as it was, and not by at
tack on the front.
The information which decided
Gen. Lee on the flank movement was
brought in by Stuart's cavalry (Fitz
Hugh Lee and information in regard
to the Furnace road by which the flank
movement was made was derived from
the country people, especially Mr..
Wexford. Major Hotchkiss was also
active in getting the information,
Gems. Lee and Jackson sitting the
while on two biscuit boxes and dis
cussing the battle, and neither of them
galloping wildly about.
