never gave way until Sheridan's cavalry
came in the rear of Fitzhugh Lees cav

went into camp only few miles south OF
Winchester and when the Louisianians
went to serenade him with brass band
that night he told them that he had only
1000 men in the fight, and said IF they
had all been Louisianians he would have

River.' A big compliment. ! was Sc
verely wounded that day and fell into the
hands Of the enemy at Winchester.
Our next fight was Cedar Creek, near
strasburg, September %, 1854, where Early
surprised and whipped Sheridan badly,
but his men were half starved and half
naked and it was impossible to keep them
together. They plundered the field at a
great rate, laying up clothing, etc., for the
winter. Sheridan, who possibly was on a
spree at Winchester, started and gathered
a lot Of men on the road to Cedar Creek,
repulsed Early, who could not get his men
together But this was the beginning of
the end of the war in the Valley.
Early and Sheridan had another fight at

Grant, The Butcher, was brought from the
West and placed in command of the Army
OF the Potomac. Now let us see: there
were Mcclellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker
and Meade, and | may add, Winfield Scott,
renegade, and Irwin Mcdowell, who had
commanded that army, to say nothing of
Banks, Shields, Fremont, Milroy and Sher-

who had commanded in the Valley of Vir-

Gen. Early took another road to Wash

on July IL, 1854. He then retreated across
the Potomac River, but continued to
threaten Washington and succeeded in
withdrawing Phil Sheridan and 5000 men
from Grants army at or near Petersburg,
Va. While at Martinsburg there was con-
tinuous skirmishing beteween his infantry
and the enemy's cavalry. 1t was here that
he had engagement at Opequon Bridge,
two or three miles east of Martinsburg.
Our force was mostly the Ninth Louisiana
Regiment, commanded by Brigadier Gen.

wounded at the Battle of Spottsylvania
Court House. He was succeeded by Gen.
York, who lived in Concordia Parish, and
owned before the war 1,4OO servants. He
was the second largest cotton planter in
the world. York took the bridge and held
it until night, when Early began to retreat
to Bunker Hill, Va. On the following day
he encountered Sheridan about 10 o'clock

plying timber is excessive. every particle Of the
wood Is turned into, extract, because the demand
is usually In advance of the supply and 1t is there
fore more profitable to manufacture the more
concentrated article, which be easier and moro
economically carried to market.
One feature OF quebracho. in which 1t is SUI
peror to other sources of supply. is that the bark
the sapwood and the whole of the central part
Of the tree produce the extract in considerable
quantities The bark contains 6 to per cent. OF
tannn. the sap to per cent. and the heart 70
to 25 per cent. AS the heart represents twothirds
and often three-fourths OF the total quantity OF
wood the amount OF tannin in the Quebracho colo
RADIO is seen to be considerable 1t is merely
chemical question whether this tanning material
Is equal inferior to that from the oak but later
methods of preparation point to full justification
of the claim that the leather from quebracho ex-
tract grades up to that resulting from any other
tanning substance. So serviceable Is 1t, however,
that since it's discovery the tanning industry OF
the Argentine Republic has made noticeable ad-
vance, because, with both hides and extract as
great natural products of the country. the govern
ment is making every effort to foster the leather
industry within its own border.
"Quebracho extract" 1t is called In the trade
Is easily manufactured when the machinery Is
once Installed. All the wood Is passed through
a machine that cuts it into shavings or the small
mense kettles in which 1t Is treated by chemical
processes until all the tannin is removed; after
this the fluid preparation is reduced by evapora-
ton to a thick. jelly-like mass which is poured
into sacks where 1t is finally dried into the sub
stance sold in commerce.
The difficulty of gathering the raw material far
outweighs the preparation of the finished article,
especially as the extract is no longer to be con-
sidered a by-product, but Is coming to have more
Importance and value than posts and sleepers. In
Paraguay particularly. where all the wood Is util
lied for extract. the hardest part of the business
lies in gathering wood for the factory. The trees
are cut in the heart Of the virgin forest and
hauled by teams to the nearest clearing. Only

increase has been rapid-from 400 tons in the first
