This important question at issue was
discussed during the greater part of
ore night. with maps before us. Gen.
Beauregard at length took the ground
that If I engaged in the projected can-
pGign 1t would be necessary to leave in
Georgia all the cavalry at present with
the army, in order to watch and harass
Sherman in case he moved south, and
to instruct Forrest ITO join me as soon
as / crossed the Tennessee River. To
this proposition l acceded. After he
had held a separate conference with
the corps commanders we again debat-
ed several hours over the course of
action to be pursued; and, during the
interview, ! discovered that he had
gone to work in earnest to ascertain,
in person, the true condition of the
army; that he had sought information
not only from the corps commanders,
but from number of officers, and had
reached the same conclusion / had
formed at Lafayette: we were not COM
petent to- offer pitched battle to Sher-
man, nor could we follow him south
without causing our retrograde move
ment to be construed by the troops into
recurrence of retreat, which would
entail desertions, and render the army
of little or no use in its opposition to
the enemy's march through Georgia.

Beauregard were proffered for the pur-
pose
After hating two days at Crossroads,
I decided to make provision for 20 days
supply of rations in the haversacks and
wagons; to order a heavy reserve of
artillery to accompany the army, in
order to overcome any serious opposi-
tion by the Federal gunboats; to cross
the Tennessee at or near Guntersviile,
and again destroy Sherman's commune
cations at Stevenson and Bridgeport;
TO move upon Thomas and Schofield,
and attempt to rout and capture their
army before II could reach Nashville.

pass the Cumberland River at some
crossing where the gunboats, If too for
midable at other points, were unable to
interfere; then move into Kentucky and
take position with our left at or near
Richmond and our right extending to-
ward Hazelgreen, with Pound and
Stoney Caps in the Cumberland Noun
tains, at our rear.
In this position 1 could threaten Gin
cinnati and recruit the army from Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The former State
was reported at this juncture to be
more aroused and embittered against
the Federals than at any period of the
war. While Sherman was debating be-
tween the alternative of following our
army or marching through Georgia, L
hoped, by rapid movements, to achieve
these results.

Sherman, could render him assistance.
This move, 1 believed, would defeat
Grant, and allow Gen. Lee, in COM
mand of our combined armies, to march
upon Washington or turn upon and
annihilate Sherman.
Hood Natures His Plans.
Such is the plan which during the
18th and 18th, as we lay in bivouac
near Lafayette, 1 maturely considered,
and determined to endeavor to carry
out. In accordance Herewith, l decid-
ed to move to Gadsden, where, If met
Gen. Beauregard, / intended to submit
to him the foregoing plan of operations,
expressing at the same time my con-
viction that therein lay the only nope
to bring victory to the Confederate
arms.
On the 18th the army resumed its
lire Of march. and that night camped
three miles from the forks of the AL
pine. Galesville and Summerville roads,
thence proceeded towards Gadsden.
On the 18th l sent the following dis

which interval the inaugurated cam
paign was discussed anew at great
length. Gen. Sherman was. still in the
neighborhood of Rome, and the queS-
ton arose as to whether we should take
trains and return to Georgia to oppose
his movements south or endeavor to
execute the projected operations into
Tennessee and Kentucky. l adhered to
the conviction I had held at Lafayette
and Gadsden, and second time desired
Gen. Beauregard to consult the corps
commanders. together with other Off

Georgia would produce upon the army

Thomas would Immediately overrun

soon as supplies were received to the
execution of the plan submitted at

Mutuals registered legislative agent He
regarded the per cent bill as his own
measure, and he wanted that passed. 1t
was amended in various ways and then
there began the correspondence after Mr.
McClintock's return to New York, part OF
which Mr.. Untermyer gave out. Mr. Inter
myer would not tell how he obtained the
originals OF the correspondence.
The General telegram as sent to Mr.
Holden Is assumed to mean that $4,000 was
sent to him to use In securing the kind of

Mr.. McClintock had been looking over his
correspondence book before Mr. Untermyer
gave out these documents, and gave an ex-

He said:

have written him that under certain CIR

killed than have 1t become a law, but as to
the method of killing legislation, I never

did not. Mr.. UAtermyer would make no

Skill VS.. Strength IN Driving Horse.
From the Outing Magazine.

Strength has nothing to do with hands
or, rather, 1t Is distinct drawback to their
requirement. The weakling must use other
means to attain his ends: the strong man
iisdains the delicate effects which make for
everything of the best In horsemanship.
A little eighty pound boy will control per-
fectly a rattle-brained race horse that no
man could hold by main strength; a slight
woman will guide four horses as few men
can't is the combination Of the attributes
named that enables them to do 1t.
Appropriate biting has much to do with
success, but the novice is apt to proceed to
the extremes of severity in his desire to get
that delicacy of touch and promptness OF
response which he thinks should follow
sharp restraint. The reverse Of this should
always be the rule, and the horse should
be constantly tried with lighter biting
effects until the least possible restraint is
employed Hands and mouths vary from
day to day, according to various circum-
stances of .irritability and sensitiveness
and no one arrangement is likely to be
for the best interests of both biped and
uuadruped A balanced horse is always q
light mouthed horse. and 1t is up tor the
driver or rider to find what best brings
about this result. No balanced horse can
pull; no puller Is in balance.
