prisoner taken in a sklrmish they
learned that only a single regiment was
on the front line disputing the advance,
but the rest of the brigade lay a mile
back, where the troopers were resting
and feeding their horses.
1t happened that Forrest and his es-
cort were wearing over their gray uni
forms rubber overcoats and leggings
captured from the Federals. Taking
advantage Of this incident, they fol-
lowed the retreating enemy and dash
ed into the Federal encampment, where
in the confusion they were mistaken
for friends. The Confederates opened
fire with revolvers, and the Federals
broke to the rear, with the exception
of one regiment. After volley which
cut down 4 dozen of the escort this
regiment retreated, leaving Forrest in
possession of the camp with sixty
prisoners and their horses.
Throughout the night Forrest march
ed on in spite of the stubborn resist
ance of Wilson's cavalry. First head
ing northward, he turned to the north
west, fianking Wilson and cutting him
off from Columbia completely, as well
as getting between him and two fresh
brigades coming down from Nash
vile to reinforce him. Forrest, in
fact, was striking for Spring Hill,
junction of roads leading northward
from the river. The value Of Spring
Hill to Schofeld and, of course, to
Hood will be seen from the desperate
efforts made by both leaders to get
there first with the most men.
Being on the defensive, Schofeld left
the initiative at Columbia to his op-
pOnent. Hood took advantage of Il
bend in the river to bring batteries
to bear upon the division Of Federals
intrenched north of the stream. This
was merely cover for the march of
two corps in the pathway opened by
Forrest around Schofield's left flank.
When Schofield learned that the Con
federate infantry was crossing down
the river he ordered General Stanley
to march at once to Spring Hill and
seize the crossroads, keeping an open
road between Franklin and Columbia.
At the same time the Federal wagon
trains started for Spring Hill, and
Stanley's advance guard reached there
just in time to prevent the capture of
the entire train by Forrest, who was
already in the outskirts Of the place.
Seven Of Schofeld's batteries had been
sent back with Stanley, with orders to
20 to Franklin, but their chief assumed
the responsibility of planting them on
4 ridge where they would command
the road along which the troops were
marching
Meanwhile Schofield had drawn all

river and disposed all but one division
on the roads back toward Spring Hill.
where they would be ready to support
Stanley at Spring Hill or aid the single
division left to hold the crossing at Co.
lumbia. Hood had crossed the river
with the advance guard of infantry
and after riding a few miles heard the
sound of guns at Spring Hill, which
told him that Forrest had met with OPP
position. General Pat Cleburne's re-
nowned Tennessee division was rush
ed forward to aid Forrest, and the 9th
er troops pushed rapidly in the same
direction.
Cleburne attacked the first Federals
in sight with his usual vigor, but was
repulsed by single brigade posted to
cover the Columbia road. This gallant
brigade, under Colonel Bradley, was
finally driven back, and Cleburne, sup
ported by fresh division, followed up
ut q charge until his line came under
the fire of over forty guns which Cap
tain Bridges had fortunately detained
there. To Hood this mass of artillery
suggested that Schofield's whole army
was before him, and night coming on,
ne suspended action to wait for the re-
mainder of his army to get to the front.
So at nightfall it was the turn of
nand whether Hood would cut the road
and hem Schofleld in between Spring
Hill and Columbia or whether Schoheld
would slip through with 10000 alert
Confederate enemies scarcely an arms
length from the marching columns.

By the ordinary tests of law and logic, the seeded Southern States had as much right. to elect MT. Jefferson Davis President of the Union, February 1S 1861, at Montgomery as the nullify- ing Northern States had to elect MT. Lincoln President of the United States by the action of electors in the month of December preceding.
 The principles of constitutional gov erument in England, two centuries be- fore, had required the abdication of James and the accession of William and Mary to the throne. Upon the foun- dation of liberty obtained by that movement, the American Government was erected. But the abdication of James was not blow at the principles of the English constitution. On the other hand the alleged election of MT. Loncoln was premeditated against the Constitution of the United States. MT. Breckenridge was elected. if at all, by States in good standing in the Union. Lincoln was not so elected
 In addition to the Confederate his tory given by General Oates he has explained his command of a Brigade of volunteers enlisted for the Spanish war, but not transported to the scene of activities. The author has given fortunate introduction in Alabama to his publishers. The NeaIe Company is understood to prefer Southern authors and the volume before us is an suspicious example of their choice.

 taken the part of letting of the first
 gun. Mir. Lincoln intended to let off
 the first gun Major, Anderson, U. s.
 A.. had hastily, removed in the night
 his garrison of forty and odd men from
 Fort Moultrie to Sumter. Mir. Lincoln
 started endorsements and supplies
 to Anderson. It was an act of war
 and also an act breaking pledged faith.
 The situation was, that If the United
 States once manned Sumter that bel ligerent could hold the fort indefinitely.
 Sumter was in position. if commanded
 by an enemy, to batter the city of Charleston so that one stone should not be left upon another. Colonel AL fred Rhett held the fort for several years against the circling fire of the best navy in, the world. General FL liott succeeded Rhett, and by order evacuated 1t after the Confectionery had 1 fallen. Had Beauregard not captured 1 Sumter on April IF the United States by April IS or very soon would have been in position to hold the fort ! and to command. the entire bay and city of Charleston as long as the war might continue.
 Was not Major. Anderson cats paw
 in the hands of the Washington Gov lernment? The official record stands
 that his garrison had no bread. He had unrestricted intercourse with
 Charleston long after the Confederacy was formed to supply himself. The official record is that the Confederate
 shells set woodwork within the fort
 near the magazine on fire, but the
 fire had been put out long before the
 surrender of the garrison. Governor Pickens was less enterprising than Governor Moore, or Anderson would have been captured at Mort Moultrie, as Morgan. Gaines and Mount Vernon | arsenal were captured, by State troops before the Confederate Government was born.

 iivered by Robert Toombs and Jeffer-

 American oratory and especially the | anxious student of the Confed-
 eracy, will be richly rewarded by | a close examination of two classi- flying orations. There Is notable diff

 naughty and logical anathema against
 Its enemies. Davis is historical and
 theoretical The intent of President Davis originally was to place Toombs
 at the head of tine Treasury because having served with him in both houses

 A serious need of the history of the brief life of the Confederacy> is a suf- ficient biography of General Joseph Eggleston Johnston. I remember the deliberate answer to my question put to Vice President Stehpens. He said: T think General Johnston has the best understanding of a true policy of war for us and therefore I would expect better results from him than from any other General in the field" The Ala bama Department of Archives and History possesses a manuscript report of q council of Generals, J.

The substance of the paper is that the three Generals in sisted on a policy of war at the outset that in their opinions was necessary to the Confederacy. They desired te concentrate the. army and invade the North and fight 1t out to the end there

One incident. too much unattended to connected with the Dalton campaign, is of a distinctive political character. In the winter and spring of 1864, various North~rn States were upon the verge of revolt against Lincoln and the war. This movement followed the election of 1882, when a Democratic Congress was elected and about the same time Horatio Seymour, Democrat, was elected Governor of New York.

The permanently valued and unique feature of General Oates's book is found in the biography given of every officer and every private by name. This ex- otic literary achievement places in final proof the real character of the South ern armies and in that fact exalts the Southern cause.
