AN INTERRUPTED A
How Sherman Caught Five Thousand
Confederates In Adams Garb.

Inch by inch," relates an ex-Confed-
crate. "the gray jackets had retired
from the Tennessee mountains. contest
ing every vantage ground down to
Kenesaw. But, strive as they might, the
advancing column of Sherman's legions
was too much for them, and even from
the heights Of Kenesaw mountains we
were driven down through the Allatoo-
nc hills to the Chattahoochee river. On
July Is, 1864, dusty and battle stained,
we stood on the banks of that stream
and gazed upon its waters rolling along
far below. Masking our cannon on the
bluff that overlooks Nickajack creek,
we made a break for the river. The
water was SO alluring that we would
have plunged into 1t had the risk of
being surprised by the enemy been
even greater. =
"In a few minutes the riS was full
of naked 'rebs' disporting In ,, 5 waters
so deliciously cool after that long, hot
march through the Allatoona hills. We
were only 600 or 700 yards above the
mouth of Nickajack, and the water was
quite shallow, as the long drought had
brought the river down.
Suddenly from the direction of Nick
ajack there was a pow, pow, pow
Imagine the amazement with which we
beheld a squadron of Federal cavalry
at the mouth of the Nickajack blazing
away at us with their carbines and
only prevented from completing our
surprise by their inability to ascend
the almost perpendicular bluff that rose
on our side of the ream There were
some 5000 of US, but u numbers
counted little when we had not even
the protection of an undershirt from
those vicious bullets, and none of us
knew what moment some gun might
prove superior and send a ball into
some of our naked bodies. Our bath
was spoiled, and never did 5000 men
dress more quickly than we did.
"In a twinkling we were In line, and
the waters Of the Chattahoochee were
gliding along again undisturbed. We
stood off the Yankees until night and
all the next day, when Sherman moved
up the river, and we changed our posi-
ton accordingly" Atlanta Constitu-

Wise Words of General Lee.

"It is well that the southern people
celebrate the birthday anniversary OF
General Robert q. Lee" said Captain
Frank P. O'Brien.
Apart from his military greatness,
General Lee was, on the side Of char
acter, the finest flower of American
civilization. Upon his reputation rest
ed not a spot.
II recall now as I think of his life a
few thoughts Of his that have won
their way into print, and these alone
serve to indicate the fine temper OF
the man:
".Duty is the sublimest word In the
English language
IA gentleman always feels himself
humbled when he cannot help hum
bling others
"rMy name cannot be bought. What
influence / have with the southern peo-
pie Is not for sale.'
General Lee made that reply soon
after the war when In his poverty he
was offered the presidency Of a north
ern insurance company.
'HThere are only two more sentences
I need cite. The first of these, We
must all work now was written to his
son, Robert, In 1868 and indicated the
spirit of General Lee In adapting him
self to altered social and industrial
conditions In the south. The Sec
ond contains his well known dying
words:

At the battle of Charleston, Mo-, in

som Of the Eleventh Illinois was urging
his men to the charge when an officer
rode up to him and said: "What do you
mean? You are killing our own men,"
IT know what I am doing" replied
Ransom. "Whom are you for?" 81 am
for JEFF Davis" was the reply. "You
are the man I'm after" returned Ran
som, and instantly two pistols were
drawn. The Confederate fred first,
hitting Ransom In the arm. Ransom

Hooker,s Grand chestnut charaer.

General Hooker probably had the fin
est looking horse In the Union armies.
This was Lookout, a horse of rich chest
nut color, standing seventeen hands
high and possessing all the dainty and
elastic action of the most delicately
fashioned colt. This was the horse,
Kentucky bred, which bore Hooker
during the battle above the clouds"
The horse was intended for exhibition
in England, but got no farther than
New York, where Hooker bought him,
although having to compete with the
agent of the emperor of France, who
wanted him for his majesty Louis Ma
poleon.
