lay beyond the range of our guns, Sc

wide, open fields intervening, which
were swept by their superior artillery.

Absolute Exhaustion stops the Battle.
The simple fact was that absolute

sides had been whirling in . cyclone

But even here the round shot of the
enemy plowed through the ranks, tear
ing one to shreds here, another there;
yender a man riven and scattered by
six pounds of iron, so that scarce a
bone was left to testify that there had
been a man--some blood, some CORY
strips of flesh, a few patches of sky

brigade were thus annihilated. But
scarce a man stirred from his position.
Our heroic soldiers, steadfast and true,
clung TO their posts with almost un-
equaled fortitude and devotion.
THE slaughter of the foe was still
more frightful. Hideous gaps were rent
in their massive columns. You could
track the course of a shell or round
shot in the withering ranks. Still they
careered to the front with determina-
ton only matched by our own. a line
of lurid fame incessantly leaped from
their terrible front, and carried destruc-
ton before it. On the skirt of the
thicket on the right they swarmed like
legions of fiends. Now a column shot
to the edge of the cedars on the right.
Volumes of canister and musketry were
poured into them. Then plunging back
into cover, they rallied and surged
again like great billows, vainly striving
to reach our lines, until it seemed none
would be left to charge. 1t was as II
they were meeting the consuming flames
of hell. In the cause of liberty and
right, the daring courage of those des-
peradoes would have won immortal
fame. The brunt of this horrible as

Hardee's Account.


The paragraphs from Gen. Hardee's
report relating to the ending of the bat
tie on the right are as follows:
"a portion of Cleburne's Division was
repulsed, but, after a bloody combat
the enemy were finally dislodged. On
our right their lines remained unbrok-
en-. With our inferior numbers no fur
ther advance could be haZarded until
all my forces were collected. Wood,
having fallen back for ammunition, was
detained to protect the ordnance train.
The remaining brigades occupied the
cedar brakes and fields near the Nash
vile road. The command of Cleburne
was now reformed, and about O'Clock
he essayed again to rout a fresh line OF
the enemy near the Nashville turnpike.
The enemy were again broken with
heavy loss. Johnson's Brigade was con-
spicuous in the conflict, in which the
brigade of Preston Smith also shared.
1t was now past 3 o'clock. In moving
through the open fields to drive the
enemy from the last positions they held
near the railroad a fierce and destruc-
tive enfilading fire of artillery was pour
ed upon the right of Cleburne's Divi-
sion from batteries massed near the
railroad embankments. At this critical
moment the enemy brought up fresh
line to oppose our wearied troops. Our

Brigade recoiled in confusion. johnson
and Polk followed, and the division was
repulsed. 1t was rallied and reformed
in the edge of the cedar woods, about
400 yards in rear of the most advanced
position we had won. Brig.-Gen. Polk
in this conflict suffered very severely,
but, while we sustained, we inflicted
great loss.
"At o'clock our line was almost par
allel with the Nashville turnpike for
about two miles, stretching from the
point of woods near the Cowan house
toward Overalls Creek. Preston occu-
pied the extreme right of my line, and
the divisions Of Cleburne and McCown
extended northwest, almost parallel
with the railroad. Liddel's Brigade
formed the extreme left. The enemy
occupied the ground northwest of the
railroad, lying between it and Stone
River, toward Nashville. Here they
massed a vast strength of artillery and
infantry Their right had been COM
pletely turned, crushed and beaten back
for more than three miles. Great con-
fusion prevailed, but their strength was
still such that we could not undertake
to force the position without unwise
hazard. We had lost nearly third of
the commands engaged. IL, at the mo-

The Condition of the Union Soldiers.

The condition of the Union soldiers
was certainly no better than that of
their opponents, if it was as good. Nc
Cooks men had been beaten from pill
lar to post all day by superior forces
and superior generalship. Their fierc-
est resistance had been in vain, because
their enemies swarmed around their
lanks and forced them to fly to save
themselves. Negley's and Rousseau's
men had suffered only less cruelty. AL
together 1000 men had fallen since
morning, two-thirds of the battlefield
had been lost, with % cannon. Five
Brigadiers were gone, with 10 ColOnels
and 10 observation-disclosures. Sheridan
alone had lost ~ officers. The Regular
Brigade had lost $50 out of the 1,400
with which it had entered the cedars in
the middle of the forenoon.

ROOSEVELT AND ANOTHER TERN.

hOOSBFELI AND ANOTHER TERM.
Speculation SO rife just now as to
whether President Roosevelt will be-
come a candidate for denomination is
unwarranted and Improbable from
any point of view. since the time for
the party to make it's ticket is two
years in the future. Such speculation
within republican circles has been
stimulated by recent extraordinary ac-
'tivities pointing towards Bryan as the
democratic candidate in 1908, but
there is no reason whatever to believe
thar President Roosevelt. so far as he
is concerned, has departed one hairs
breadth from the purpose deliberately
and formally announced by him on the
evening Of election day in 1904, when
his election was certainly known, TO
consider the present as his second
term of Office and not again to be a
candidate. This purpose he has re-
affirmed time and again since. and in
the clearest manner within few days.
Retirement at the end of his pres
ent term must therefore be accepted
as the presidents definite and settled
plan. Whatever action the party may
take when the time comes for action,
If situation should arise calling. in
its judgment, for his denomination,
must at the start take the announced
attitude of the president into account
as fact. 1t can at any rate be &C
cepted as a finality that by no act of
his will a denomination be promoted,
and that he has gone as far as he prop
erly could go to take himself COM
pletely out of the field.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-07-13


The Omaha Gas company has finally
gone into court to determine whether
1t has a right to enlarge its facilities
for manufacturing and distributing gas
irrespective of the onerous condition
imposed by the city ordinance that
gives anyone owning property within
1000 feet of its plant an unconditional
veto power upon the proposed improve
ments. An interesting point is in
volved because should the contention
of the city be good 1t will apply not
only to the present company, but to all
other gas companies that might try to
get a foothold in Omaha. and II the
present company objected, 1t would be
practically impossible for anyone else
ever to erect a gas holder in Omaha
over the protests that would be piled
up against it, and the present company
would have. to all intents and pur-
poses, an exclusive franchise perpet.
ually.

continuance of ill-sorted alliance with
the elements of radicalism and social
ism dominating the northern democ-
racy. II it we're possible for such an
alliance to gain the presidency and a
majority Of congress, the only way In
which southern interests could be pro-
tecte1 would be for southern represent
atIves in congress to abjuTe it at least
temporarily and Join hands with the
republicans, notwithstanding the fact.
which Secretary Taft emphasizes, that
recently in congress southern repre-
sentatives have in the main been voting
against those interests when 1t was
practically impossible thus to hurt
them because they could not as parti-
sens reverse republican policies.
Yet two years remain before a
presidential election for the south to
take to heart Secretary Taft's invita-
ton, and, while the signs may not be
promising, it is to be hoped that 1t
may not be altogether without avail.
