Dear Sir: In reply to your note OF
the 10th inst, asking me to give you
regard to the retreat OF the Confeder-
ate armies from Cassville, Ga, to the
south side Of the Etowah River, will
state the facts as connected with my
self, as follows:
''At the time when the Confederate
armies OF Tennessee and Mississippi
under the command Of Gen. j. f. John
ston. and the Federal army under Gen.
Sherman, were maneuvering in the
neighborhood OF Cassyille, I had near

OF the Confederate forces, and the

Federals, giving such additional infor-
nation as to enable me to fully under
stand the actual condition Of affairs.
This was done rapidly. He then re-
quested me to go at once and examine

considered It untenable for defense.

Zen. J0hnstOn's Memory TfeacherOus.
The memory Of Gen. Johnston must

monstrances Of Gen. Shoupe, but the
earnest opposition Of Gen. Polk: and

official report.
At all events traverses could not, In
this instance, have proved a sufficient
protection to the troops.
After our lines had been enfiladed
for one or two hours before sunset, as
Gen. Shoupe had pre-admonished Gen.
Johnston, Polk and I decided, upon
consultation, to see the COMMANDING
General and apprise him Of our real
condition; TO state also that, whilst our
position was as good as we could de-
sire to move forward from and engage
the enemy In pitched battle. the line
we held was unsuited for defense: and

commander Of that army. viz: That II

battle We would advise him to change
our position for one better suited for
defense.
This suggestion would seem to be In
unison with the spirit OF our urgent
recommendation only the day previous
to turn upon Sherman. and give him

cARLIsLE's HAPPY LAST DAYS.

When he left Washington in 1897, John G. Carlisle had hardly a dollar, though for many years he had been prominent and influential in public life as congressman, speaker, United States senator and secretary of the treasury. Today. at the age of T, he is earning large fees as a lawyer in New York. Recently he purchased a modest place in Connecticut, where he plans to live the remainder of his days in comfort. His costume usually is of old fashion. but his headgear is chief ly noticeable. It is a white hat of the most altitudinous style, worn and weather beaten, encircled by a four inch mourning band with a rim made fiimsy with long usage. Although an important figure in the very center of activity, surrounded by wealth and the influence of modern life. he seems 9 relic O. the past product of the stage coach days when he was a struggling lawyer in Covington.

TEMPE
NATIONAL GUARD LEAVES.
c Go. Turned Out in Full Force and
 is a Credit to Tempe.

All days for the past week have been busy ones with the members of. c com pany. national guard of Arizona. but yesterday they went the limit and were kept at one thing and another from early morning until they took the train in the evening, The day was spent in drill and packing in preparation for the trip. It was something of a task and the armory was the scene of much activity during the afternoon. Late in the evening tents were pitched near the depot, and a temporary camp es- tablished for purpose of drill Camp was broken again after supper and everything made ready for entraining at the regular time.
 Company I from Flagstaff and com pany B of Phoenix, each in a special car. came over on the MaricOpa train. Another special tourist car had been set aside here for the use of c com pany, and when the train arrived everything was in readiness for de- parture. A number of interested friends were at the depot to give the boys a final send off. At Maricopa, Yuma company was picked up and a special train formed of four tourist
 
 baggage car. It is calculated that without accident, the troops will ar rive in Fl Paso this afternoon and Camp Mabry. near Austin, Texas tomorrow evening.
 c company turned out in full force and presented an appearance that was a credit to it. Apparently the Tempe company will be the largest in the Arizona contingent at the encampment It is understood that camp will be broken a week from tomorrow night and returning, the company will ar rive here in the morning of the 14th.

A WREN IN AN ORIOLES NEST.

Jenny" wren is famous for the odd places in which she builds her nest mail boxes. tin cans. old hats. water ing pots, a human skull on a battle field-in each case perhaps the first thing the birds came across with a hole in it and room enough for sticks or stiff feathers.
 And so I was not much surprised to find a wren building inside Of a new Baltimore orioles hanging cradle. Was ever wren so particular! was the nat uraI thought. Imagine young wrens being swayed to sleep fin a hanging nest on the end of a slender elm bOugh It did seem absurd: and yet the nest contained several eggs. which doubtless matched. The nest was in a much safer place than the usual wren house AOr tree hollow, and so no doubt the young wrens grew to peep from their swayi1g nest, and later to leave it having the strange experience, for wrens. of being born and raised in an orioles neSt--From Nature and Science in August St. Nicholas.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE
Fire in Smith Building ON Main
Street Causes Small Loss.

Fire broke out in the Smith build
ing, frame structure on Main street,
occupied by McDonald's confectionery
store, at an early hour Monday morn
Ing. The fire department responded
quickly, and the flames were soon got
ten under control. Beyond the partial
destruction of the roof and narrow
strip Of Notwithstanding on the south
side, the building was not seriously
damaged. The cigar stock in the
confectionery store was damaged by
water, but the remainder of the stock
was saved in good condition.
The fire originated in the back room
Of the cigar store and was discovered
at 2 a. m. The firemen responded to
the alarm, but a f1re-extinguisher be-
longing to Matthews & Madison's 8
saloon was brought into use, and the
city apparatus was not needed. Think
ing the fire was out, the firemen took
the hose-carts back to the City Hall,
and Mr.. Mcdonald, who sleeps in the
building, returned to bed About 4 80
o'clock the fire broke out again, and
this time the services of the firemen
were needed. Two heavy streams Of
water were turned on the flames, and
after a few minutes hard work, the
fire was extinguished.
Mr.. Mcdonald has moved his stock
to the kirkpatrick building, next door
to Kerslake's furniture store, where
he will open up for business. His
loss was adjusted at 1895 by the in
surance company. The Smith build
ing was damaged to the extent Of
probably $500. The oW ner, Mrs. M. E.
Smith, is spending the winter in Los
