planting General Cadwalader after
General Butler had been ordered to
Fortress Monroe. This was accompa-
MED by the arrest of Marshal George
z. Kane and later by the police COM
mfssfoners of the city. While Mary
land seemingly had been pacified some
weeks earlier. there were still mutter-
ings. After the arrest Of Marshal
Kane and the police commissioners a
quantity OF arms and war supplies was
found concealed under the floors and
elsewhere In the city hall. Colonel
John r. Kenly was placed In COM
mand. There was naturally intense
excitement. and fears were expressed
that the police force would not serve
under martial law. These fears proved
groundless for the most part. but Colo
mel Kenly deemed it wise to swear In
several hundred Union sympathizers.
This practically ended the attempt
OF southern sympathizers to take Mary
land out Of the Union. Many of them
left the state and enlisted in the Con-
federate armies. 1t was during this
period OF turmoil and suspense that
James Ryder Randall. a native of the
state. but at this time a professor Of
literature In Louisiana. wrote the noble
song Maryland"
The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door.
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That f1ecked the streets Of Baltimore
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland. my Maryland!
There were no very important &C.
tons during the week. On June II
the Freedom landed company of men
at Matthias point, on the shore Of the
Potomac. These were engaged most
of the day in throwing up breastworks.
Just as they were ready to return to
the boats they were attacked by sew
eral hundred Confederates. The Free
born began a bombardment, under
which the men safely got on board,
some Of them swimming. but Captain
James H. Ward Of the Potomac flo
tilla, who was with the Freeborn. was
killed. From this and previous en-
gagements the Federals learned one
important lesson-that it was waste
Of time. ammunition and life to bonn
bard these points along the Potomac
unless there was sufficient land force
to hold them.

After Colonel Lew Wallace's victory

turned to Cumberland and there for
a month was threatened by superior
Confederate force who cut his commu-
MICA tons and isolated him. With only
a few rounds Of ammunition and scant
supplies, Wallace's position became
desperate. He sent his sick to Bed

them. When outside the town. how
ever. he faced about ready to give bat

their way back they were In turn at

of the thirteen was lost on the entire
expedition.
Two more engagements that week
of some consequence were a skirmish
at Bowners. Va, and the capture of
the St Nicholas by ruse Of the Con-
federates. The promotion of Colonel
Benjamin F. Kelley, the hero of the
fight at Philippi, to brigadier general;
excitement at Denver because Of the
expedition Of an insurgent force up
Cherry creek. and the arrival Of Gen.
eral John G. Fremont at Washington
constituted the other notable events.
In the meantime there were impor-
tant movements on foot or In prep

urging from Washington. General Rob-
ert Patterson was making ready to re-
cross the Potomac at Williamsport.

"a Tribune's editorial column for
~ June 26, 1861, appeared the
following:
THE NATIONS WAR CRY.
Forward to Richmond Forward
to Richmond! The Rebel Congress
must not be allowed to meet there
on the goth of July! BY that date
the place must be held by the Ma
tional Army!
This was printed in italics and small
caps and was repeated day after day
for several weeks.
The Tribune had now become rather
FESTIVE under the delay to get action
and was caustic in its criticisms. Cen
eral Robert Patterson it accused of
''moping" because be did not follow
up and attack General Joseph e. John
ston after the evacuation of Harpers
Ferry. Editor Horace Greeley showed
almost equal Impotence with General
Scott. Even the administration was
not immune from his pen.
One of the things that aroused the
Tribune editors ire was the talk Of
compromise At this late day the
peace discussion had nearly all died
out, but there was still an occasional
rumor Of southern delegations in
Washington to offer terms of settle
ment. These reports were as so many
red rags to Mr.. Greeley. One Of his
standing slogans was mo compromise
with traitorsr The endearing epithets
were by no means confined to the
north. In Virginia they were calling
General Scott a traitor" and an arch
traitor" (Scott was a native of Vir-
ginia) and Lincoln an illinois ape"
and "beast" Nor were the family
quarrels restricted to the north. Gree
ley may have scolded because there
was not more energy displayed. at
Washington, but this very week came
q report that General Robert q. Leo
had threatened to resign because of
differences with Jefferson Davis and
General Beauregard.
In those days the news travelled
slowly. 1t was no uncommon occur
renee for tidings Of battle to be de-
layed two or three days, and sometimes
It was q week or more before accurate
details were known. Not only were
the facilities for gathering and trans
uniting news more meager than with
us, but the war disturbed communica-
tons and made the work Of the cor
respondent hazardous and difficult 1t
Is not to be wondered at that both the
north and the south were filed with
grotesque and absurd reports. News
of some kind the nennle- must have.

Greeley's Nerves Relieved.

Mr.. Greeley was to have surcease
from the compromise nightmare. how
ever. On June 20 his Washington cor
respondent had information that Pres
ident Lincoln did not favor compro-
mise, but had determined on a vigOr-
GUS policy. During the next day or
two the report was confirmed. and the
Tribune was elated accordingly. 1t Is
probable that this had been Lincoln's
attitude all along, but he was not max
ing everybody his confdant. The time
was one of frightful suspense, and it
is not surprising that the nerves of
even so great an editor as Horace
Greeley should become unruly and do
things.
An amusing illustration of the kind
Of rumors that were on the wing ap-
peared In the Tribune Of June q.
There were duly set forth purported
extracts from letter written by John
Minor Bolts of Virginia. Mr.. Bolts,
It was made to appear. had received a
few votes for congress and proposed
to take his seat In the national house.
He had travelled from Richmond to
Washington In Disguise. He reported
that General Beauregard bad just sent
an alarm message to the cotton states
begging them to raise 100000 men ai
once or they would be ruined" The
letter contained other fearful and won
derfui information. and Greeley wrote
an elated4 editorial thereon Two or

three days later he was quite "peev-
ed" at charges that the whole thing
was forgery and rather deliberately
explained that be had received other
letters from John Minor Bolts and
could have sworn this was genuine.
Journalism In 81.
The manner OF playing up news
ytor1es was spectacle for men and
angels. All the Washington news Was
dumped together, hit or miss. Fire.

ington date line would start out with
discussion Of the weather, then re-
count some reception. next editorialize

items OF more or less Importance.
would give the news Of q historic bat
lie. The reader in those days had to
be laborious and patient. He needed
a microscope to spy out the really i'm
portant item, which was nearly al
ways buried in a muck of tr1vialities.
In the Tribune this was offset to some
extent by a daily editorial. entitled
--latest News of the War;" in which
there was some idea Of news values
ind sense of proportion. Mr.. Greeley
was better newspaper man, accord
ing to the modern acceptation Of the
term, than his correspondents or head
writer's.
Greeley Editorials Were Events.
The Tribune is mentioned because it
was by all odds the chief journalistic
force during the war. Indeed, no sim
gle newspaper has ever played so his
toric a part during the life of the ma
ton, and it is scarcely possible that
one ever will. Some of the Greeley
utterances were more than editorials.
They were events. Whatever impa-
tience be showed with the administra-
ton or with leading generals came
