a much-needed lesson to all the Gen.
erals as to the unwisdom of massed at
tacks. The Fourth Corps had been ar
ranged in heavy columns in the hope
|of overbearing opposition by sheer
physical weight. A column six lines
deep should be overwhelming, but il
was soon found that such a column
was no more effective than single line
in dispersed order The rear lines of
the column were simply shot down by
the bullets that missed the first line
and without any chance to reply. The
most effective mode of attack was in
sending the men in open order thru the
woods, where they could engage their
antagonists, man for man. with the
shelter of the trees offsetting the ad-
vantage that the enemy had behind
their works. The cover on both sides
was so dense that Sherman says that up
to that time he had never seen more
than dozen of the enemy at a time
during a fight, and yet the air was con-
stantly full of bullets.
All the Generals were obliged to ex-
pose themselves equally with their men
in order TO get any knowledge Of the
fight and direct the movements Shcr-
man says that at one time, when he
went over to the right to see how the
fight was getting on there, and was in

which he had studiousIy kept. 1t was
so large and thick that after passing
thru 1t the ball had only force enough
10 reach his ribs, knocking him down
and disabling him for the rest of the
campaign.
1t was clearly seen by this battle
that the old European tactics, which we
mad been carefully initiating, were out
OF date, and that the science of war had
to be learned anew upon the common
sense basis in which the Western troops
were already proficient; that Is, they
started into battle precisely as thev
went out TO hunt, and the way their
fathers had fought the Indians. Each
man was allowed to make his way up
to his enemy as best he could, and exert
himself TO kill him without receiving
any injury himself. For DAYS. there.

Corps on his right and JEFF c. Davis's
Division of the Fourteenth Corps on his
left. He had strongly fortified his
front, and nothing occurred there be-
yond heavy skirmishing until o'clock,
May 28, when the enemy emerged from
the timber in heavy columns. Capt.
Welker's Battery, commanded by Lieut..
A. T. Blodgett, had an excellent posi-
ton, and did great work in assisting
with canister the steady, deliberate fire
of the infantry behind the works. The
first assault was closely repulsed, but
the Confederate blood was up, and they
instantly reformed in the timber and
came out stronger than ever, and
charged with an impetuosity that
seemed madness. The greater part of
the second attack was arrested within
so yards of the line, but three officers
and considerable number of enlisted
men succeeded in crossing the zone of
battle, and actually entered the works.

The. determination of these attacks

ing, however, was the reverse of that
at Pickett's Mills. where the Fourth
Corps had charged the Confederates'
works and had been driven back with
heavy loss. Now it was the Confeder-
ates attacking the Union works with
similar ill-fortune.
All of Hardee's regiments suffered
severely in these attacks. and particu-
larly the Kentucky Brigade. We have
no exact figures for its loss, but the
members of that brigade have ever
spoken OF Dallas as the bitterest day
in the history Of their organization.
So vigilant was Hardee for an oppor-
tunity to catch Mcpherson In the act
of Withdrawing that 1t was not until
June that the Army of the Tennessee
was able to obey Sherman's orders to
move to the left and join on to the
main army. This movement was final
ly made by Gen. John A. Logan with
great skill. He first attempted Il Nav

and struck him heavily in front, keep
ing up threatening demonstrations the
whole night, with almost continuous
musketry from II o'clock D. m. until
3 in the morning. Then Logan had
line constructed in the rear, and began
shifting the troops from his right flank
back into this. followed closely by the
enemy's skirmishers, who halted in
front of the rear line, expecting that It
would be strongly held. Logan moved
his whole corps over to the rear of the
Twentieth Corps. which he relieved to
permit Hooker to move to the left to-
ward Ackworth.

The Capture Of AlIatoona.

Not being able to prevent Sherman,s
side-stepping to the left to reach Ack-
worth and the railroad, Gen. Johnston
abandoned the bloody cockpit of New
Hope Church, in which the fighting
had gone on continuously, and fell hack
to still stronger position on the Kene-
saw line. Sherman had secured possess
sion of all the wagon roads between
New Hope Church, Allatoona and Ack-
worth, and then sent Garrard with
division of cavalry, around to the west
end of Allatoona Pass, while Stoneman
advanced directly upon the eastern
end.
The enemy evacuated the position
without resistance, and the Confeder-
ates along the road all withdrew to n
new position which Johnston had taken
up to cover Marietta. Sherman ad-
vanced along the road to Big Shantv
in sight of kenesaw Mountain. Col.
Wright, with his railroad brigade. went
to work at ONCE, and in a few days had
rebuilt the bridge across the FItowah h
and repaired the road as far as Rig
Shanty, and the welcome whistle of fine
locomotive. which had not been heard
for many days, woke the soldiers in
the camps into enthusiastic cheering.
The whistle Of the locomotive meant
an abundance of rations and other s,In-
plies, and no, sound could have struck
their ears so agreeably. The engineers
began promptly the work of making
Allatoona Pass q aystrong fortress TO
serve as a supply base, into which a

GOODS IN Europe.
shows That Few Are Sold
Cheaper There Than AT Home.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The widely
exploited statement that American manu-
iactured products are frequently sold
in foreign countries at lower prices than
in the home market has been the subject
Of Investigation by the Department Of
Commerce and Labor. Special Agent
VI. II. Davis, who was detailed for this
work, reaches the conclusion that it il
altogether too broad end sweeping.
My observations Of the last nine
months in Great Rritain and various
European countries" he says, lead TO
the concliuson that it rarely occurs that
American made goods are sold or retailed
on this side (Europe) at lower prices
than the same products are sold in Amer
lean markets. The wholesale home
price plus the freight. incidental eI-
penses, duties il any and small profit
made the selling price to the foreign con-
sumer or final buyer. Such is the ale
cation Of the jobber and retailer when
inquiry is made and proofs are called for.
can supplement and confirm this to
some extent by somewhat general
knowledge OF prices both abroad and in
America.
Profits are not large to any American
manufact cturer doing business with foreign
buyers. The work OF trade extension is
only in its infancy. The process Of devet-
oprnent is necessarily in most lines slow.
For Americans to obtain foothold the
foreign competitor IN many instances
must be displaced, and to do this old time
traditions and trade associations must be
overcome. This is particularly true as to
staple articles open to the worlds compe-
ttion. II applies especially to shoes,
articles OF wearing apparel, -four and other
food products fruits. farm implements Of
ordinary use and many other things not
specialized by American exporters. These
are making slow but sure progress largely
because of their superior merit or quality,
and Ia no sense because Of cheaper price
than similar products Of European origin.
American staples are not sold abroad
because they are cheaper than others.
They are placed in stock by foreign buyers
after due introduction because they pos
sess features Of excellence appreciated by
consumers seeking the best obtainable.'

Mr.. Burton interrupted the reading

suggested that a quorWm was not present.
The poll was called. disclosing the pres

to make a quorum.
