mac, which stirred him to action II
was to the effect that he had reliable
information that Lees engineers had
succeeded in throwing a pontoon across
the river, and that the Confederate
army was retiring by it. BY 9 o'clock
in the evening Gen. Meade had made
up mis- mind to decisive action, and had
sent out specific orders. He would
make a direct attack. Each of the four
army corps on his center and left would,
at o'clock the next morning, advance
a division for a reconnaissance in force,
to be supported by the rest of the corps.
If a weak point We're discovered in the
enemy's line, the whole weight of the
corps would at once be thrown upon it.
These orders would have been admir-
able three days before. and probably
resulted in a decisive victory.
Lee Begins Crossing.
Lees engineers, working with des-
perate energy succeeded in laying
a bridge at Falling Waters. which was
ready for crossing on the morning of
July Is. Some ferryboats had been
used to carry over the Confederate
wounded and afterward the 5000 pris-
oners brought from Gettysburg. These
ferryboats brought back a much-needed
supply of ammunition. The warehouses
along the canal were torn down and
the timber Used for bridges and, pom
toons. The river had fallen to a depth
which permitted a part of the infantry
to use the ford. and Ewell's Corps
crossed in this way. The wagons and
ambulances moved out during the day
of the 18th. and the artillery caissons

Back TO Old Virginia.

Meade, who seems not to have been
well served by his spies, apparently
knew nothing of the location of the
bridge at Falling Waters. and did not
iaVe any OF his heavy infantry columns
moving in that direction to supnort
kiipatrick's aggressive attack. The
avalry had therefore to show for this
achievement some 1000 prisoners, in

Meade Tenders, His RESIGNATION.


At II O'Clock. July IA. Meade sent
the following dispatch. which was re-
reived in Washington at T2.1O and
one can readily understand produced
an intense coinmotibn in official circles,
'Maj.-Gen. II. w. Halleck, C;eneraI-in-

The discussion of the situation AT
Washington was not protracted, for so
minutes later. or at l D. m. Gen. Hal
leck sent this dispatch:
"Maj.-Gen. Meade, srmy of ne Poto-
mac:

ington presents the greatest advan-
tages. Supply yourself from the coun-
try as far as possible. I cannot advise
details. as I do not know where Lees
army is nor where your pontoon bridges
are. L need hardly say to you that the
escape of Lees army without another
battle has created great dissatisfaction
in the mind of the President. and it Will
require an active and energetic pursua
on your part to remove the impression
that It has not been sufficiently active
heretofore.
III. w. Halleck. GeIeral-in-Chief."
Gen. Meade acted with similar
promptness, for at $50 he replied to
HalIeck, and his dispatch was received
at the War Department at $40 p. m:
"Maj.-Gen. H. w. Halleck, General-in-
Chief:
Having performed my duty con-
scientiousiy and to the best of my abil-
ity, the censure of the President con-
veyed in your dispatch of l m of
this day is, in my judgment, SO unde-
served that 1 feel compelled most re-
spectfully to ask to be Immediately re-
lieved from the command OF this army.
"Geo. G.. Meade, Major-General Com
manding."
An hour and 20 minutes after receiv-
answered as follows:
"Maj-Gen. Meade. Army OF the Poto-
mac:
."My telegram. stating the disappoint-
ment OF the President at the escape of
Lees army, was not intended as a GEN.
sure, but as stimulus to an active pur-
suit. 1t is not deemed q sufficient cause
for your application to be relieved.
''H. w. Halleck, General-in-Chief."
Halleck and the Preside It knew it
would not do to relieve the commander
of the Army of the Potomac SO soon
after his glorious victory, especially as
Generals capable of handling this army
were not a plentiful growth on the
banks of the river from which 1t took
it's name. and Meade had. at least, done
better than any of his predecessors.
There was no promising man in sight to
replace him, and it was hoped that, as
other men had gone, he would learn
valuable lessons from his mistakes and
acquire confidence in handling his army
as he became more used to his respon-
sibIe position. Therefore, Halleck soft
ened down the censure as much as pos
sible, and encouraged Meade to go on
and try to do better the next time.
1t is noteworthy that at the same
time Gen. Lee was pleading to be re-
lieved from his command, on the
ground that his old enemy, sciatica.
was incapacitating him for field service
Jefferson Davis refused to allow him
to leave even temporarily, alleging thai
there was no one capable of taking his
place. At that time Joseph e. Johnston
and G. T. Beauregard, both full Gen
erals, were without employment accord
ing to their rank, and Lee urged that
one of them be made his successor
Davis, however. hated both Johnston
and Beauregard. who were not so diplo-
matte as Lee in dealing with the Con
federate Presidents arrogance, and
would not hear to their being given any
considerable prominence. He was try
ing to break down, not 7 ,ild them up

merciless. and that he Ut er forgave

Mendc's Difficulties.


In passing Judgment upon Meade's
failure to do what we now see he could
and should have done. we must keep in
mind all the time the peculiar difficult
ties under which he exercised the COM
mand of the Army of the Potomac.
Gen. de Trobriand. in his -Four Years
With the Army Of the Potomac" de-
scribes these difficulties graphically.
Gen de Trobriand was in a position to
be fully cognizant of what he wrote
about. He says:
But Gen. Meade was himself strug-
Cling. with difficulties which absorbed
all his attention. His promotion to the
command of the army was not made
without creating jealousies, more or less
secret, amongst the corps commanders,
his colleagues of yesterday, his subordi-
mates to-day. He was not one of those
formed to take the ascendancy over
men by that greatness of character for
whom power is an easy instrument and
who appear born to command. On the
other hand, altho his personal valor and

BOOMERANG.

All of this hullabaloo about
Governor Ansel having appoint
ed a negro in Greenville a No.
tary Public, is an evidence of
the estimate Senator Blease has
of the peoples Intelligence. He
knows full well the position of
Notary Public is one for busi-
ness convenience. and has no
political significance, nor does
it come in contact with white
people, when held by negro.
He also knows that every
governor from Hampti on
down has made such appoint
.ments. It is a necessity to have
negro notaries in some instances.
There are in this State negro
banks, mercantile, and industrial
institutions, in these it is neces-
sary to have notarial work done,
therefore, why should not no
taries be appointed for them:
Governors Tillman, Evans, Ell.
lerbe, McSweeney, and Hey
ward have each appointed at
least one negro Notary Public,
and they were not criticized for
doing so, but when Governor
Ansel, upon the recommendation
OF reputable white citizens, two
of whom are members of the
Greenville delegation in the leg.
islature, and the negro, and
those who recommended him are
personally known to the Cover
nor, makes the appointment, to
appeal to race prejudice and IN
fame ignorant passion for votes
is not very complimentary to
the common sense Of the
masses but instead of injuring
Governor Ansel, it will have the
effect of opening the eyes of the
masses to the tricky methods
employed by his opponent.
Blease processes TO be such a
hater of the negro, why did he
accept a trusteeship of negro
collge?
Has Blease ever accepted fees
from negroes to defend them
when charged with crime against
a white man? This profession Of
antipathy to the negro is silly
rot. Every decent white man
wants the negro to enjoy his
rights under the law.
