ANOTHER MONUMENT
TO PRES. GARFIELD
Citizens of the Big Sandy Are Taking
Step to Erect One in
That Section.

A letter from Prestonburg. KY,
states that movement is on foot to
erect monument at that place to the
memory of President Garfield.
In 1862, Eastern Kentucky es-
pecially along the Big Sandy Valley,
was a scene of great military activity,
there having occurred a number of
engagements In that section of the
State. The campaign for 1862 open.
ed with active military operations in
that part of the State, during the
month of January. -.
Confederate General, Humphrey
Marshall, had early in January en-
trenched his forces at Paintsville,
Johnson county, for the purpose of
interrupting the movements of Gen
eral Don c.. Buel, a portion of whose
command, under Gen. Thomas was
moving toward Cumberland Gap.
Col. James A. Garetild, who had
been ordered to dislodge MarshalRs
forces, had on the 9TH of January,
broken up his camp on Middle Greek,
and with the 18th Kentucky and And
Ohio Infantry regiments, with 800 of
the End Virginia Cavalry, marched to
Paintsville and found Marshall had
fled up the river. Pursuing them, an
engagement took place on Jennie's
Greek, resulting in a small loss on
either side.
Garfield was reinforced by the 10th
Ohio and detachment of Wolford's
cavalry making in all 5000 men while
the Confederate forces consisted of
two Virginia regiments, two Kentucky
regiments, a detachment of cavalry
of four pieces of artillery. Two days
later the forces under Garfield en-
countered the Confederates at Middle
Greek, near Prestonburg, and the en-
gagement was on of the ferciest that
had been fought upto that time.
For gallantry on the field Colonel
Garfield was promoted to Brigadier
General and began that brilliant ca
reer sa soldier and statesman,
which finally eliminated in his cleo
ton to the presidency in 1880.
The matter will be presented to
Congress by Representative Lang
ley, and with the cooperation Of the
citizens of the Sandy Valley, a mon
ument commensurate with the dis
tinguished subject will be erected.

The committee was In session for
more than two hours having under
consideration the report of the ma

again on Monday next and vote upon
the report.
Senators Kittredge. Culberson ana

Senator Knox, who are working to
uphold the presidents course. Other

Of law. This report also will be print
ed and will be before the full COM
