The commanding General takes

the excavation of the mine which was
successfully exploded on the morning
of the goth ultimo under one of the

The skill displayed in the laying out

willing endurance by the officers and

nary labor and fatigue involved in the

The Republican Candidate for Governor
of Ohio.

Hon. Warren G.. Harding. who re-
ceived the nomination of the Republic
can Party for Governor of Ohio and
was selected among the great number
of prominent and able men as the one
best fitted to carry forward the standard
to victory, is a comparatively young
man, having been born in Morrow
County, Ohio, Nov. ., 1865. He comes
from old Puritan ancestry, one of his
forebears having been a Colonial Gov
ernor of Connecticut His immediate
ancestors on both sides were Ohio pio-
neers and prominent in the work of
building up the State. His father was
a practicing physician at Marion, o.,
and young Harding gained his first edu-
cation in the public schools. Later he
graduated from the Ohio Central Col
lege at Iberia, and located with his par
ents at Marion, taught country schools
for a season, started the study of the
law and finally entered the publishing
business. He came into control of the
Marion Star, which he has made an un-
usually successful property and an in
fuential paper. He devoted it to the

up the avenue which was designed for
the passage of troops ordered to follow

evidence that no commander reported
to Gen. Burnside that his troops could
not be got forward. which the court
regards as neglect of duty on the part
of Gen. Ledlie, inasmuch as a timely
report of the misbehavior might have
enabled Gen. Burnside, commanding
I the assault to have made other ar
rangements for prosecuting it before it

LoudOun County Rangers.

The Loudoun (V.) Rangers. L. S. Vol.
Cav, held a largely attended Reunion
lin MOore's Woods at Waterford, Va,
Sept. II, 1910. The meeting was called
to order by Capt. d. j. Harper, who
acted as master Of ceremonies. 1nvo-
cation was offered by Rev. DIR. Gray,
pastor of the NJ. E. Church. The ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by
Maj ID. Fl. Vandevanter, of Mosby's
command. who gave the boys in blue a
most cordial greeting, which was re-
sponded to by Capt. d. II. Harper, of
the Loudoun Rangers. The next ad-
dress was by Rev. DR.. Leytle, pastor of
the NJ Z. Church, Shepherdstown, w.
Va. The meeting adjourned for dinner
under the broad, spreading branches of
the stately oaks, and such a dinner
could he furnished only by the hospita-
BILE citizens of Loudoun County. The
audience was again called to order by
Capt. Harper.
Briscoe Goodhart delivered an ad-
dress on what the Confederacy repre-
sented and some of its monarchical
Tendencies and its connection with the
Macmillan Government of Mexico.
Miss Ednlonia House favored the audi
ence with a well-delivered recitation.
Rev. DIR. ]. \. Perryman, of the Pres
byterian Church, delivered an eloquent
address. He strongly urged upon the
audience that loyal defender of the
flag should also be a loyal defender of
the Cross of Christ. Maj. d. II. Vande-
venter enlivened the audience again
with some laughable anecdotes. Many
of the survivors of the Loudoun Rang
ers. with silvered locks and leaning up
on a staff. gave a hearty handshake
that those only who were present could
appreciate. The music was furnished
by the TaylOrstown Band. Much of the
success of the Reunion is due to the
untiring labors of Joseph It. Divine

Gen. Portcr's Remembrance.

Gen. Porter says in Campaigning
With Grant" page 26S:
Thus ended an operation conceived
with rare ingenuity, prepared with un-
usual forethought and executed up to
the moment of the final assault with
consummate skill, and which yet result
ed in absolute failure from sheer in
capacity on the part of subordnates-
Burnside had given written orders
which were excellent in themselves, but
he failed entirely to enforce them.
When the General-in-Chief and staff
rode back to Petersburg that day the
trip was anything but cheerful. For
some time but little was said by him,
owing to his aversion to indulging in
adverse criticisms of individuals. which
would not mend matters. He did not
dwell long upon the subject in his con-
versation, simply remarking: Such an
opportunity for carrying q fortified line
/ have never seen and never expect to
see again. If 1 had been division

would have been at the front giving
personal directions on the spot. i be-
lieve that the men would nave per-
formed every duty required of them If
they had been properly led and skilfully
handled He had no unkind words for
Burnside, but he felt that this disaster
had greatly impaired that officers use

side was granted a leave of absence,
and did not serve again in the field.
Gen. Parke. one of his division COM
manders, and an officer of eminent abil-
ity, was placed In command of the
Ninth Corps. Grant and Burnside, how
ever, did not break their amicable re-
Iations. on account of this official action,
and their personal friendship continued
as long as they both lived.

and not causing to be provided proper

full little city owes much of its present
advancement to his untiring efforts. His
fellow-citiZens recognize this, and have
rallied around him with the greatest
enthusiasm whenever there has been
any prospect OF his advancement to
high honor. His public service began
in 1900, and includes two terms in the
Ohio Senate and one term as Lieuten-
ant-Governor. He is an attractive pub
lie speaker and in demand at every
campaign. When the question of the
httest man to lead the Republican Party
in Ohio came up his friends in Marion
County voluntarily enrolled themselves
to the number of 5000 to advance his
interests. They unite in saying:
We know him to be wise, able, ex-
perienced, generous and honorable. He
is n good citizen and a good man; he is
honest in all his relations; he is in the
prime of life and vigor; he is a loyal
Republican, who believes in his party
and has never bOlted ticket or sulked
in defeat. he is a devoted friend, and
has shown Willingness to stand by his
friendships even at cost to his purse
and political prestige; he is a public
speaker of matchless efficiency because
he talks from conviction. These are
the reasons why we love him and why
we think he is the man of the hour
for the leadership of the Republican
Party in the CON ing campaign"

The only events of the war compara-
BILE with the conditions in the Crater
We're Pickett'S charge at Gettysburg,
the Death Angle at Spotsylvania and
Hoods sanguinary defeat at Franklin.
At Gettysburg Pickett's column was in
an open field, assailed by terrific fire
in front and an enfilade fire from troops
on both f1anks. At Spotsylvania Lee
crowded his men into a sharp angle,
where they were mown down by a fire
from both sides of the angle. At Frank
lin Hood rushed his men in great
masses into a bank of thick smoke,
where they were slaughtered merciless-
ly by the Union troops standing behind
breastworks.
At the Crater the whole of the Nlnth
Corps was crowded into a hole 200 feet
long, so wide and 25 deep. The neat
