After watering and feeding our ami

disappointment Over stoneman.
Later every effort was made to mag
Nifty Stoneman's achievement to liven
up the depression over Hooker's failure
at Charlottesville, but the truth was
that Stoneman's movements We're feeble
and Ineffective to a most disheartening
degree. He had a magnificent corps
which could have destroyed every
bridge in Lees rear. and swept directly
into Richmond, riding over anything
Stuart could have put in front of them.
1t was certainly expected that Stone
man would cut the Fredericksburg Rail-
road at its junction with the Virginia
Central, rendering both of these use
less to the Confederates thereafter and
this could have been done with any rea-
Sonable amount of executive ability on
the part of the commanding officer.
Instead, Stoncman scattered his MEN in
small parties that We're in constant dan
ger of being overwhelmed by the ene-
my, and what damage they managed
to do at different places was SO slight
that it was easily repaired. For exam
pie, if. after destroying the Fredericks-
burg & Virginia Central Railroad, he
had sent a considerable force to CO.
lumbia, il could have maintained itself
there long enough to ruin the aqueducu
and thus deprive Richmond of it's most
valuable artery of supplies.
Instead of this Wyndham, with the
1st n. j. Cav, made a hasty march
hacked around at this thing and that
thing for few minutes, and then hur-
a comparatively small force of Confed-
crates which had started in pursuit
Stoneman came back with about 300
horses and mules, which went the
smallest distance in replacing the mum
bers of horses which had been broken
down in running away from the enemy
instead of running after him. Stone
mans prestige in the Army of the Po-
tomac received irreparable damage He
soon after was relieved from command.
and sent to join the rapidly-swelling
crowd at Washington of Generals who
had been tried and found wanting.
Averelrs feebleness was particularly
unsatisfactory. He was ordered to turn
over his command to Gen. Pleasonton.
What was still worse, by sending off
all his cavalry except one small de-
tachment, Hooker deprived himself of
his eyes, had no correct information as
to the encmy's movements, and thus led
to Jackson's disastrous front attack up
on the Eleventh Corps

c. w. B., Soldiers Home, Cal, writes:
Please mark the two pieces of chess
men, of which / inclose a drawing

1t would seem that if the historical
origin of the two pieces be followed the
taller one would represent the Queen
and the smaller one, showing the crown,
the King. However, it is largely mat
ter Of convention, and both forms are
used interchangeable, according to To-
cality In the Washington Chess Club
the practice is to use the taller one as
the King and the crowned one as the
Queen.
