NEED OF ARMS.


Already two Ohio regiments had been
organized, and were in Pennsylvania,
on their way to washington. There
were four full regiments at Cincinnati,
$500 men at Columbus and 600 at Cleve-
land. The state, although but 10 regi-
ments had been, asked Of her, was ready
to furnish $4,000 men il desired
But with men the states preparation
stopped. There was need of small arms,

every sort. IT find myself" wrote Nc
Clellan to General Scott. Sin the position
of a commander with nothing but men,
neither arms nor supplies"
There was need, too, of efficient mus
tering and staff officers, experienced
men who should know their business.
These various wants. with requests that
they be supplied. formed the principal
subject of McClellans first report, sent
on the day of his appointment.
THE next morning." writes Jacob d.
Cox, then brigadier general of the Ohio
forces, Mcclellan requested me to ac-
company him to the state arsenal, TO
see what arms and material might be
there.
1--WE found a few boxes of smooth
bore muskets, which had once been is
sued to militia companies ana had been
returned, rusted and damaged. No
belts. cartridge boxes or other accoutre-
ments were with them. There were two
or three smooth-bore brass field pieces,
six-pounders, which had been honey
combed by firing salutes. and of which
the vents had been worn out, pushed
and worn out again. In a heap in one
corner lay a confused pile of widowed
harness which had been once used for
artillery horses. but was now not worth
carrying away. The arsenal was
simply an empty storehouse.

PLANS TO INVADE SOUTH


"Could we be provided with arms" he
wrote, "the northwest has ample re-
sources to furnish $4,000 men for active
operations
''Wi.n the active army of operations
It is proposed to cross the Ohio at or
in the vicinity Of Gallipolis and move
up the valley of the Great Kazawha on
Richmond. In combination with this
Cumberland should be seized, and a
few thousand men left at Ironton or
Gallipolis to cover the rear ard right
flank of the main column. The pres
ence of this detachment and prompt
movement on Louisville or the nights
opposite Cincinnati would effectually
prevent any interference on the part of
Kentucky.
"The movement on Richmond should
be conducted with the utmost prompt
ness, and could MOI fail to relieve WASH
ington as well as to secure the destruc-
ton Of the southern army if aided by a
decided advance on the eastern line.
Another plan would be, in the event
of Kentucky assuming a hostile posi-
ton, to cross the Ohio at Cincinnati
or louisville with $4,000 men. march
straight on Nashville and thence act
according to circumstances.
Were a battle gained before reach
ing Nashville, so that the strength Of
Kentucky and Tennessee were effectu-
ally broken a movement on Montgomery,
aided by vigorous movement on the
eastern line toward Charleston and Au-
gusta, should not be delayed. The I'LL
terror movements of the combined ar
mics might be on Pensacola, Mobile ano
New Orleans.
.'To enable us to carry out either of
these plans it is absolutely necessary
that the general government should
strain every nerve to supply the west
with arms, ammunition and equipments.
SCOTTS CRITICISM.
To General Scott, commander of the
Federal forces, who was already urging
his own plan to conquer the south by
surrounding 1T and starving it out, Nc
ClelIans plan made but slight appeal
Fifty years ago today he submitted
McClellan's report of April q to the
president with the following comment
attached:
.'As at the date of this letter General
Mcclellan knew nothing of the intended
call for two-year volunteers. he must
have had the idea of composing his enor-
nous columns of three-months men. for
operating against Nashville and Rich
mond-that is, of men whose term of
service would expire by the time he had
collected and organized them. That
such was his idea appears from a prior
letter. in which, although the Ohio quo
ia is but about 10000 men, the general
speaks, I think. of having 10000 and
wants arms for $4,000.
"a march upon Richmond from the
Ohio would probably insure the revolt Of
western Virginia, which If left alone
will soon be five out of seven for the
union.
The general eschews water trans
portation by the Ohio and Mississippi
in favor CT long. tedious and breakdown
(of men, horses and wagons) marches.
His plan is to subdue the seeded
states by piecemeal instead of envelop-
ing them all nearly at once by a Gordon

Fifty years ago today George B. Nc
Clellan, major general of the volunteer
forces of Ohio, was busily organizing the
states troops and working night and day
to bring military order out of chaos that
prevailed.
At the same time he was already maxi
ing elaborate plans not only for the de-
Tense of the Ohio line. but also for the
invasion of the south by the movement of
column of $4,000 men into Virginia
against Richmond, or into Kentucky and
Tennessee against Nashville.
Graduated from West Point in 1916,
serving with distinction in the Mexican
war, detailed to observe and report on
the Crimean war. resigning from the
army ini 1857 to become an official of the
Illinois Central railroad and later presi-
dent of the Ohio and Mississippi and
now returning to military service as ma
jor general. Mcclellan might well be-
Eeve that he was fated for great things.
APPOINTED MAJOR GENERAL.
In his own Story he tells of the man.
ner of his taking the command of the
Ohio volunteer forces.
when the catastrophe (of Sumter) oc-
CURED" he writes, the excitement in
Cincinnati and along the Ohio river was
naturally intense. The formation of reg
iments began at once. and all who had
military knowledge or experience were
eagerly sought for, myself among others.
l did what / could in the way of CIV
ing advice to those who sought 1t and in
allaying the excitement in Cincinnati.
about this time received kilograms
from friends in New York informing me
that the governor of the state desired to
avail himself of my services; another
from Cen Robert Patterson offering me
the position of chief engineer of the com
mand of militia then organizing under his
orders, and one from Governor Curtin. of
Pennsylvania, offering me the command
Of the Pennsylvania reserves.
II promptly arranged my business af-
fairs so as to admit of short absence,
and started for Pennsylvania to see what
was to be done. At the request of sew
eral gentlemen Of Cincinnati / stopped at
Columbus to give Governor Dennison
some information about the condition OF
affairs in Cincinnati, intending to remain
only a few hours and then proceed to
Harrisburg.
According to the existing laws of
Ohio the command of the militia and
volunteers called out must be given to
general officers of the existing military
establishment. The legislature being in
session, the governor caused to be pre-
sented a bill permitting him to appoint
as major general commanding any resi-
dent of the state
This was. intended for my benefit,
was passed by both houses in few
hours and the appointment offered to,
me the same day April %. l at once
accepted, and without an hours delay
entered upon the performance of my
duties.

To Make Cotton the Surplus Crop.

To Make Cotton the Surplus Crop.
New Orleans, La, Oct. 31.-The
farmers of the South must withhold
from the market every remaining
bale of the present seasons crop of
cotton and follow this with a con-
certed and binding agreement to re-
duce next seasons cotton acreage at
least rs per cent If they hope to re-
store the South's great money staple
TO normal price level and retrieve
the losses sustained by reason of the
present low prices.
This is the plan which the confer
ence Of Southern Governors adopted
at Its convention, at to-day's session,
TO secure immediate relief from the
depression in the price of the sta
pie.
AS a means of securing permanent
relief from such conditions and to
guaranteed the cotton farmer in the
future against the necessity of glut-
ing the market with his supplies in
the opening of the season, the con-
ference adopted resolutions favoring
the establishment in every cotton
growing State of a State-controlled
warehouse, and the collection and Pc
rloolcal publication of statistics bear
Ing upon the worlds demand for
consumption of American cotton.
The propose of foreign banking
interests to finance a holding move
ment covering 100000 bales of the
present crop was referred to a spe-
clal committee for future action.

nit Of Texas. 10 devise means OF

,elleylng the demoralized situation
in the cotton world. did not reach an
,greement and adjourned at $40
gn;iI 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Almost every cotton growing
state was represented at the meet
ing to-day. The Governors OF Texas,
Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana and
virginia and Charles s. Barrett,
President OF the Farmers Union,
we're among those present and took
an active part in the proceedings.
At to-morrow's session Governor
Colqultt, OF Texas, has promised to
make public the first statistics ever
compiled for the benefit OF the cot
ton producer relating to- the con-
sumption of cotton and the estimat-
ed demand of the world for the cot
ton Of the 1911 season. These fig
ures. 1t Is said, will clearly demon.
strate that, even admitting that this
seasons crop will be the largest in
the South's history, every bale is
worth from l Alto l 5 cents per pound.
While the figures were not given out
in detail Governor Colquitt said they
showed that the worlds demand at
the present time was far greater than
the supply.
The figures bearing on the con-
sumption Of cotton and the worlds
demand were furnished by American
consuls abroad through Secretary of
State Knox.
They were secured on short notice
and Governor Colquitt declared this
fact proved that the Government can
furnish such statistics for the farm
ers benefit throughout the period of
marketing cotton, and demand for
such will be made by the conference
At this afternoons session the
conference listened to an address by
President w. B. Thompson, of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, which
all present conceded contained sug-
gestions that, If carried to a conclu-
sion, would mean the financial en-
ancipation of the cotton planter and
of the South.
Mr.. Thompson treated the question
solely as an economic issue. After
presenting the causes of the present
condition and showing the part that
the farmer must play by disposition
to market his crop slowly, and the
part the banker of the South should
take by his willingness to lend finan-
cial support, Mr.. Thompson discuss
ed the States part. He told of the
step taken by Louisiana by popular
vote of her citizens to establish
Staet-owned, State-controlled ware
houses, whose receipts will be bank
able in every part Of the world and
offered this as the only safe plan for
the Southern States to adopt to Sc
cure permanent relief from the con-
dition which now confronts them.
