if the water had been as deep as he 81,
it was. with a velocity of current much
more than two miles IN hour accord

well. At that time my hight was five
feet II inches. The water came little
above my belt, and in order to Keep our
powder dry we had to carry our accou-
terments on our bayonets, at right
shoulder-shift. A little circumstance
connected with the crossing helps me
to remember more distinctly. The small

Entering Columbia.

that others would respond to Lieut. II.

troops into Columbia, S. C. Unless i
am much mistaken, thru errors of men,

more or less serious. being historically
misleading. The probability seems TO
ne to be that his memory misleads him;
that his entry was not till about two
days after the city was in Federal pos
session. He omits dates of arrival OF
his cavalry at the river, and seems
honest in his effort to state facts, bu,
his facts are not substantial when
squared with dated facts. He gives no
account of any enemy there. says his
cavalry were the first troops to cross
the river, about sunrise. and entered

We fought and expelled the enemy from
his intrenchments on Feb. 10: in the
forenoon of the 10th we moved to the
bluffs opposite the city: could see the
enemy in the streets. Our beloved corps
commander. Gen. Logan, ordered guns
up, and sent his greetings to the enemy
from the muzZles of our artillery. To-
ward sunset we moved up the Saluda
River and crossed. 1t was but a short
distance to the Broad River. where the
enemy had burned the bridge. There
we went into camp. Pontoons were
lashed together, and a ferry was con-
structed. Near midnight Lieut.. B. +.
Upton, of the 25th Iowa. leading a
small detachment, crossed and cap
tured the rebel pickets. Then the men
of our brigade began to cross-25th,

Gen. Geo. A. Stone When day dawned

for awhile, and we were not yet over

who had crossed to the enemy's ground.
The ferry was kept busy. My regiment.

up the river, and we joined the brigade
about quarter of a mile out. We found
them in line, and soon after that the
Mayor of Columbia came out and sur
rendered the city to our brigade COM
mander, and we marched into the city.
When We entered, on the main street,
we could see our flag just being raised

m, Feb. II, 1865. There was then no
fire destroying residences. There may
have been some among cotton bales.
No yellow flag was hauled down from
the State House when our flag went up.
No cavalry was visible in the city at
that time, but there were plenty of Fif-
teenth and Seventeenth Corps boys
around. I was there on the main
street till nearly II at night About
dark fires began to light up. and soon it
was apparent that the city was doomed.
The word among many was: Here is
where the darned thing was hatched."

Non-Resitlent New Workers Sighted.

papers that the State proposes to ae-
knowledge its appreciation of the SER
vices of those who responded to its call
in 1861-1S65, when the Government laid
upon the State duty to defend the
Union. But the State mars the ac-
acknowledgement and offers a false pre-
tense of gratitude, for it denies by it's
bill of thanks credit and honors to
those who no longer live within the
State. If the bill said: Whereas those
soldiers who served the State and now
do not live within it cannot vote for the
friends of this bill, nor against any of
us, and they may therefore be ignored:
and, whereas all who do vote in this
State are potential enemies at the polls

therefore, no nonresident shall be hon.

Insurgent Activities.


With all the Washington buzzing
about Census politics there is even more
about the insurgent activities in the
West. Senator Cummins, of Iowa, rap
| idly becoming the recognized leader of
the insurgents. has served notice that
the campaign for tariff revision is to be
renewed, especially for a Tariff Com
mission. The dispatches intimate"
that Senator Cummins may be a candi-
date in 1912 for the Presidency, aItho
he asserts his loyalty to Taft who, he
declares, did all he could do to bring
about revision of the tariff downward
| The Senator also wants to eliminate the
standpat leaders from public life and
put the party under the leadership Of
more conservative men, With such a
battle cry Mr.. Cummins starts out to
do the fag end of the Chautauquan sea-
lson, when the edge of popular interest
has been taken off by previous speak
ers, and when he must have a few
"thrillers" if he would draw large audi
ences.
1t is well understood that Senator
lCummins's protestations of loyalty to
Taft are largely formal He wants to
| fight inside the Republican Party, and
he hopes to be Presidential nominee,
| If not in 1912 in 1915. For he will still

running in 1915, as will Senator La
