icksburg, December Is, 1852 We're daily
presented to our sight from that time
until the following April.
During this period. with the exception
of futile movement on the right, the
army remained quiet. The pickets sta
toned on either bank of the Kappa ham
mock were within hailing distance OF
each other and dress and faces could
be easily distinguished. BY the comfy
that prevailed there was no firing from
either side One could ride or walk
down to the banks of the river with
perfect security. Sometimes Johnny
Reb," as he was called, would rig up
little raft and, loading it with tobacco
start it. with sails and rudder set for
the other shore. When the precious
freight was unloaded the craft. gener-
ously burdened with coffee and salt
would be headed by 'Yank' in an op-
posite direction, where ii would be re-
ceived with loud expressions of thanks.
In this and other ways the asperities OF
the war We're Modified As time rolled
on and the weather improved arrange-
ments were made for an advance. The
men were well clothed, rested and eager
to move again to test the fortunes of war
with the COnfederates.
OF the several plans of attack, Gen.
Hooker, in command of the Army of the
Potomac, determined to march around the
enemy's left flank to Charlottesville,
leaving a portion of the army at Fred
ericksburg to conceal the real movement.
The army struck camp on the 9th OF
April, crossed the river, and on the tOth
Hooker established his headquarters
at Charlottesville. The same evening,
in general orders. ne said, 1t is with
heartfelt satisfaction the commanding
general announces to the army that
the operations of the last three days
have determined that our enemy must
either ingloriously fly. or come out
from behind his defenSes and give us
battle on our own ground, where GER
tain destruction awaits him Hooker
hadad: Tell him. he said, Let not
himself as he that putteth it Off.
While the right wing was concen-
trating at Charlottesville. the corps
of Gems. Sedgwick and Reynolds, after
considerable opposition, crossed the
Rappahannock on pontoon bridges be-
low fredericksburg. and by the even
ing of the 30th were deployed on the
wide plain where Franklins Left

vious battle fredericksburg. Sick

The position Of Lees army remained
unchanged until the 29th when Lee
was informed that large bodies of Fed

NEWSPAPER MAN TELLS OF
MINING ON HIGH HILLS

Horace Stevens, formerly on the
staff of the San Francisco Chronicle,
other big dailies of the west, and now
a resident of Portland, spent Friday
and Saturday in Grants Pass and
Sunday morning departed for Waldo,
en- route to mining property he owns
in northern California, Stevens con-
siders the pick and shovel mightier
than the pen, from a remunerative
standpoint, hence he has lain down
the latter for the more fascinating
game of chasing the elusive gold. He
has several quartz claims in the Sis
kiyou mountains, and like all who
have become ,innoculated with the
prospector spirit, has high hopes that
his golden dream will come true.
81 am going in there now" said
he at the Hotel Josephine just before
his departure, for the purpose of
surveying the situation with view
of performing considerable develop
ment work on my claims this fall and
winter. Others are interested with
me in the venture, and If matters
pan out as l anticipate, the chances
are we shall be able to make a great
deal OF headway before spring, as II
is my present intention of driving a
hole in the side of the mountain In
order to secure line on what we
have. ! am In the Preston Peak

Stevens erected a comfortable log
cabin ON his holdings last fall, re-
naming there alone until January
22, of this year, when he left his
cabin in the afternoon for the pur-
pose of going for his mail at Takilma,
20 miles away, his nearest postoffice,
For three weeks he had not seen a
human being and naturally felt anx-
ious to learn il the outside world
was on its good behavior. He made
the mistake of leaving too late in the
day, however, about five feet of snow
lying on the ground when be took his
departure. In consequence he got
caught in the dark, and while aware
of his whereabouts at all times, yet
was in such a rough country that pro-
gress under those conditions was ex-
ceedingly dangerous In that way he
fought for his life all night, In the

visited Stevens camp during the past

Skinner, and now leading woman for

the close Of the actress season and
were so intensely infatuated with the
