The company's station at Rye

GENERAL B. n. MILROY, U. 8. A.. LEADER
OF THE ATTACK AT GREENBRIER RIVER.
ted by Lee to capture western Virginia
aroused the warmest praise at Rich
mond. Yet it ended in little better
than a fiasco. The inevitable conclu-
sion is that either Lee was outgener-
aled by Rosecrans or he was constitu-
tionally unable to make winning
fight in Union territory. Perhaps the
last is the true explanation, as he lost
every time he ventured outside of
Virginia. First he failed in western Vir-
GINA, next in Maryland at the battle
Of Antietam and finally in Pennsyl-
vania at Gettysburg. AS great gem
eral as even his enemies concede Lee
to have been, he was not great enough
to win campaign in territory where
public sentiment was against him. On
the other hand, Grant gained practi-
cally all his victories in the enemy's
country. It is q truiSm in war that
men fight better on their own SOIL
when defending their homes. On the
defensive Lees generalship was mas
terly. When he invaded Union terri
tory he was undone. While his West
Virginia campaign is the least known
Of his entire military career, there is
none that more clearly brings out this
point. Even his own partisans admit
its weakness. Magnifcently planned,
its breakdown was almost pitiful.

eral wagons and pressing the Confed
crates so closely that they destroyed
many Of their supplies, including am
munition and musketS.
Lees Failure In West Virginia.
In the meantime General Lee had
fortified Wise's position at Big Sewell
and with his own forces and those of
General j. B. Floyd now had about
10000 men. Here General Rosecrans,
who had been REINFORCED by two bri-
gades under General j. D. Cox, faced
Lee for about three weeks, but after
feeling the enemy's position decided
that it was too strong to attack. At
about this time Lee was recalled to
Richmond and did not return to west
ern Virginia. Wise, who had been on
bad terms with Floyd. was also recalled.
Their departure practically ended the
campaign in western Virginia. Floyd
had one or two later brushes with Rose
Grams and was driven back, after which
he fed precipitately, abandoning most
Of his supplies OH the way. There
were few later affairs lasting till
December, but the recall Of Lee to
Richmond marked the definite aban-
donment Of western Virginia by the
Davis government Henceforth the AL
leghenies became the dividing line be-
tween the north and the south, and the
portion Of Virginia lying to the west Of
this boundary became a new state as
stanchly Union as Ohio or Pennsylva-
mia.
The result of Lees operations in
this campaign furnishes an interesting
side light on his generalship. Pollard,

ITHE FIRST week of October, 1861,
saw two actions OF some inn
@ portance. The first was the
- fight at Greenbrier river, west
ern Virginia, and the second a COM
bined naval and land affair at Hatteras
island, North Carolina. Minor Skin
mishes occurred at Charlestown, Mo-;
Edsalls Hill, Va, in which one Fed
eral was killed and three wounded;
Buffalo Hill, Ky, where the losses
were reported as ten FederalS killed
and ten wounded and fifty Confeder-
ates killed. and Chincoteague inlet,
Virginia, in which four Federals We're
killed and eight Confederates. Other
events were the retreat of General
Price from Lexington and the pursuit
of him by General Fremont, who
moved out of Jefferson City on the
9TH, the signing of the contract for the
construction of the Monitor and the
resignation of General Robert AnGer-
son, commander of the Union forces
In Kentucky, who was compelled to
quit the service on account Of i'll
health. 1t was stated at Washington
that at this time the Union forces were
being increased at the rate of $4,000
new recruits per week.
The situation in western Virginia on

gone to join General III. A. Wise at
Big Sewell mountain. At midnight on
Oct. 2 General Reynolds moved from
Cheat mountain to reconnoiter Jack

5000 men, but had the disadvantage
of finding his foe securely intrenched.

about four hours. Three of the Con-
federate guns were disabled and the
gunners driven back. Hearing that re-
endorsements were on their way to
strengthen Jackson, the Federals were
eager to charge the foe, but Reynolds
would not permit it. The Confederate
reserves did come up after two hours
Of fighting, and Reynolds decided to
shift his line of attack. He now at

supplanted by General Mansfield. In
an article written after the war Colo
mel Hawkins insisted, however, that
the expedition of Colonel Brown had
served its purpose in preventing the
occupancy of Hatteras island by the
Confederates. He believed that if it
had not been made they would have
destroyed Hatteras light and would
have been in a position to make an
attack from the rear on the Union
garrison occupying the forts.
The blockade of southern ports, at
which the southerners and Europeans
had scoffed in the. beginning, was
being made more effective as the
months went by, but was still far from
being complete. 1t was a stupendous
undertaking, as never in history had
serious effort been made to blockade so
long coast line The lack Of availa-
bic vessels on the part Of the north
made the task so much the more diff
cult, but by the conversion Of all
sorts of craft into gunboats, by whole
sale purchases and by feverish activ-
ity in shipbuilding the blockade was
at last made much more effective than
at first seemed possible. This became
an important factor in conquering the
south, as it isolated her from the
world. shut off supplies and threw her
on her own resources, which were rap
idly depleted Thus in the end the
blockade justified itself. Even in Oc-
tober, 1861, the south was beginning
to feel its effects.

ASSAILANT Is
UNDER ARREST
Man Who Hit PatreIman
GutoWski With Fencs Pick
ct Caught in Pa:saiC.
BReUGHT TO THIS CITY
Identified by 0fficsr--WiII
be Given Hearing on the
Charge Tonight.

After considerable clever work on
the part of the local police, assisted
by the Passaic department, Karman
Horvath, the man who is accused Of
having assaulted Patrolman Gutow-
ski on the night of May 1, has been
lodged in a cell here and will be
arraigned tonight. The man is de-
clared by the police to be bad char
acter. They say he hit Patrolman
Gutowski across the forehead with a
fence picket on the night in question,
and fought with Passaic officers when
he was arrested Saturday. Immedi-
ately after the assault in this city he
fed, shaved off his moustache and
disguised himself in other ways. De-
tectives Huff and Long worked un-
erringly until they found he was
living in Caldwell, at Essex Falls un-
der the assumed name of Michael
Viszahai.
Horvath, it is alleged, was one of
a quartet of foreigners who were en-
gagged in a free for all fight about
11:30 o'clock on the night of May /,
when Officer Gutowski intercepted.
He jumped in among them and as he
did they fed. The officer gave chase
and in running through a dark alley
way was felled by a blow from a
fence picket. The policeman regain
ed his senses and summoned assist
ance. Roundsman Morris and Patrol
men Quinn and Dunham were detail
ed on the scene. Steve Kozar, one
of the fighters, was arrested and
fined s100, but the others escaped.
Gutowski was taken to DR.. NJ. S.
Meinzers office for medical treat
ment
Horvath was identified by Patrol
man Gutowski yesterday and brought
to this city by Detective Long. He
was locked up here on a charge Of
assault and battery. His age was
given as twenty-eight and his ad-
dress as Essex Falls.

POLICE STILL
PAYING FARE
Public Service Officials
Await the Opinion of ths
Utilities Board.
WHAT DECISION SAYS
Doas Not Provide fer Free
Rides Going to and
Frem Duty.
WHAT DECISION SAYS

Policemen and fremen are still pay
ing their fare On the trolley cars to-
day, although as told in the EVENING
NEWS Saturday the Public Utilities
Commission has decided that it is not
violation of the new public utilities
act for a accompany to give free trans
portation on behalf of a municipality
to fremen, policemen and Board of
Health inspectors in the performance of
their public duties.
The decision was reached by the
board Friday afternoon at session at
it's Offices in the Scheuer building in
Newark. 1t was not made public, how
ever until Saturday.
Here is the decision:
"The board does not regard the free
transportation, without discrimination,
on behalf of a municipality, of police
men, fremen and inspectors of boards
of health in the performance of their
public duties as a violation of the
provisions Of public laws of 1911, Chap
ter 1856"
The boards findings contain two sig
nifcant features. 1t specifically pro
vides that free transportation shall be
furnished to policemen, tiremen and
health board, on behalf of the mu-
nicipality and not as individuals. 1t
also provides that free transportation
shall be given to such officers while in
the actual performance of their duties
and makes no provision for their trans
portation back and forth from their
work even though in uniform.
No provision is made for the free
riding of the public employees to and
from their destinations of employment,
though they are in uniform. 1t is made
plain that free transportation may be
given them " on behalf of the munich
pality." =" Also, the intention Of the
board was to have it understood that
such free transportation, when not
granted to the benefciaries as individ-
uals, should not be considered as dis
criminatory.
While the ruling of the board omits
any compulsion that street railway com
panies of the State carry free the of
ficials referred to, it eliminates the
basis of the refusal of the Public Ser
vice Company to extend free transpor-
tation in municipalities where there
were contracts for the carrying of po-
lice and fremen free of charge. Mu-
inequalities without contracts of this
sort still are permitted, if they wish,
to continue this boon to those concern
ed.
The solution of the problem was fore
ed when the Public Service and other
companies had said that under the new
law they thought it would be illegal
for them to grant free transportation
after May /, last, when the law be-
came operative.
Public Service officials say they will
not change the ruling until they have
received the official opinion from the
utilities board which is expected to-
day.

Louis Schmalholz, of Highland Park,
on the narrow Browntown road at $50
O'Clock last night, Howard Sillcock 8
big Mitchell, containing party com
posed of Mr.. Schmalholz s neighbors,
crashed into the lighter auto at terrific
speed and caused one of the most disas-
trous auto accidents in this vicinity for
some time. All four occupants of the
Schmalholz car were thrown out when
the car turned turtle and are more or
less injured. The most serious is Mrs.
Robert Thomas, of Plainfeld, sister of
Mrs. Schmalholz, who had two arteries
severed and sustained severe bruises.
1t is said that Mr.. Sillcock's colored
chauffeur was driving the car at the
time of the accident, which occurred at
the dangerous curve in front of the
residence of Asbury Fountain, former
director of the Board of Freeholders.
While there were no eye witnesses, it
is reported here that the owner, two
companions, and the driver, were going
at terrific speed when it turned to pass
the other auto.
From an explanation made by both
parties the Mitchell endeavored to pass
the lighter ear on the left side, both
autos being headed toward New Bruins
wick, but the wheels locked and the
EMF was turned over. The Mitchell
lost a wheel, had the front axle bro
ken, the hood cut off, and damaged
in other minor ways. 1t was taken to
