Of constraint a. those which induced
Gen. Lee finally TO resort to them, my
own experience has taught me that the
continued use thereof by an army has
demoralizing influence
AN army cannot at one time night
behind breastworks, with the practical
demonstration that It's position renders
1t equal to three times the strength OF
the foe, and, at another time, when
occurs q favorable opportunity of at
tack, forget it's own experience in the
use of intrenchments, and charge the
enemy's works, and force him to fly
from the field, as was so often the case
In Virginia.

opinion upon this subject. am truly

General: In your favor of the 18th

eral effect of intrenchments upon an
army My experience during the re-
cent war was nearly equally divided In
serving with and without intrench-
| ments.
"My service with the Army of North
Virginia ended after the battle of
Sharpsburg-then in the campaigns in
Mississippi, involving the fall of Vicks-
burg-again in the campaign In Geor-
gia, involving the fell of Atlanta, and
also the last campaign into Tennessee.
Intrenchments were generally used in
my service in the West. They we not
used in Virginia up to the time l was
transferred West. / am free to say
that 1 consider it a great misfortune to
any army to have to resort to 1ntrencn-
ments; its morale is necessarily impair
| ed from their constant use.
Troops once sheltered from fire be-
hind works never feel comfortable un-
less in them. The security of intrench-
ments is a constant subject Of discus
sion by troops who use them. 1T Is a
matter of education. They are taught
that one man equals five or six of the
enemy. This they remember when
called upon to attack intrenchments of
the enemy, about which they are nee
essarily timid. Troops in works. engac ed

IAN army, accustomed to intrench-

whole, from the fact that in nearly
every division one or two brigades con-

GREAT IS TEXAS.
All OVsf the State Extension OF AgricuI
turaI Interests and Advancement OF
Manufactures are Under Way.

In the Manufacturers Record
last week. in editorial correspon-
dence from Birmingham, It was
stated that it was probably con-
servative to say that at the present
xrne the South could easily absorb
SOC, 900 laborers in filling the ac-
tuai demands of the hour without
considering the steady increase in
agricultural and industrial inter
ests of the coming years. Texas,
however. comes TO the front with
all announcement that at least
200, 900 laborerS are needed in that
State, and thus the estimate OF
500, 600, thought at the time by
some to havebeen an exaggeration,
proves to have been below the ac-
Eual needs. The statement that
Texas needs and could immediate
ly provide work foC 200, 900, men
hringsto mind the amazing prog
ress of that imperial Common
wealth. Indications of what Texas
as doing in the accumulation OF
wealth are seen in the fact that a
Dallas bank carries deposits OF
IS, 600 900, an amount not equal
ed by any bank i'll Baltimore with
one exception, and that in one of
the smaller towns of Texas a bank
of $500, 900 capital has 81, 500, 600
on deposit. All over the State this
condition exists, and everywhere
great progress in the extension OF
agricultural interests. in the adj
uancement of manufactures, in the
construction of railroads is under
way. As one\ undertakes to look

from the problems which so long
and so seriously burdened other
Southern States, especially the
/ problems faced by those where the
negro equals or exceeds in num-
bers the whites, and with a school
fund representing a valuation of
500, 900, OOO,. Texas stands IN
matched by any other State in the
Union in the possibilities which
are ahead of its people if they but
utilize to the fullest extent the re-
sources and opportunities vouch-
safed by heaven. Into Texas be-
fore and after the war came many
of the foremost men of the South.
It was to them the Land of Promise.
The foreign element of that State
IS, on the whole, the best which
has settled in any State in the
Union, and with the whites so
largely in the majority the negro
becomes a useful factor rather than
a load holding back advancement.
1t has been justly said that the
transplanted man is the best man
for the upbuilding of the country.
He is the man who had the energy,
the activity and the imagination
which could not be contented with
the old things, but looked forward
to a better land. Texas has the
transplanted man. He has gone
from Virginia, from the Carolinas,
from Georgia, from Tennessee,
from Kentucky, from the West,
from the North and from Europe,
and in this attrition of races and
of people from different sections
Texas has the opportunity to de-
velop as one of the foremost lead

HOW ARMSTRONG
 LOST HALF MILLION.

DOUGLAS, May 8. - (Special)-
 R. V. Daniels, now residing in Fl Paso temporarily, was in Douglas on Monday night. By the way, he ex- poets to buy a residence property in Douglas and move his family here. He is perhaps the oldest and strongest promoter of the, Arizona Mining and Development, or Gold treasure, prop erty, about eight miles southwest of Naco. He confirms the report that the new ten-stamp mill is turning out bullion on a surprising scale. It seems that the values, which are all gold, run about sixty per cent free, which is collected on the plates, while a carload of valuable concentrates was shipped to Fl Paso last week. Super intendent MeHenry is no longer in charge of the mine, but has been re- tained in the capacity of consulting engineer, visiting the mine once a month and giving the proposition his attention for four days on the occa! sion of each visit.

DOUGLAS, May S. (SpeciaL)-

 Mir. Hunt is accompanied by W. J. Stevens. the association agent placing the loan. They are both in Arizona for the purpose of attending the hear ing on foreclosure now set for to- morrow at Tombstone. This trial has been postponed twice this term, but will be heard in all probability tomor. row
 Whether the foreclosure is allowed to become effective at present or not, the hotel is open to stay open. If 1t is foreclosed the building and loan people will lease the property. If it is not foreclosed, the receiver will lease it or run it. No. matter who runs it. the furniture will be increased at once. If Jay Turner, of Bisbee leases it, as he probably will, he will run first class dining room with 1t
