A Happy Surprise.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Z. Torkelson were
surprised Wednesday eve
ming Of last week when a num-
Der of their friends from town and
the country, drove in the yard and
told them to, surrender, which they
did in good grace. Probably the most
amusing event of the evening was the
seating of Mr.. and Mrs. TOrkelsOn on
the dining room floor where they were
told to unwrap the various packages
before them and it is needless to say
they found many useful as well as or
namental gifts. This was especially
true of the contents Of Two boxes
which contained several small articles
which may come handy in the future
The rest of the evening was spent
in playing games and the last but
not least feature was supper which
was served at 1870. After good
wishes and goodbyes had been said
the merrymakers departed for home
after most pleasant evening.
Those present were Hannah and
Cathanka Olson. Martin and Laura

TAIVE days before the battle of
ES Wilson'S Creek occurred the
~ action at Athens, in the same
state. Athens is near the Iowa
line, in the northeast corner of Mis-
souri,. There Colonel David Moore was
encamDed with a Union force of about
700. A junction of two Confederate
bodies under Colonel Martin d. Green
was effected, and the combined forces
marched on Athens. The size of
Green's command is in dispute, the es-
Inmates running all the way from 900
to 800, but at any rate they were Su-
perior to MOore's troop, and in addi-
ton Green had artillery. which the
Union commander was without.
On the morning of Aug. ; the Con
fedCrates drove in the Union pickcts
and opened an artillery fire, most of
the shots going over the heads of the
FCderalS. A part of Colonel MoOreS
men was across the DeS MOineS river
at the time, but filed over to the Mis-
souri, side with colors flying. GREEN'S
men were armed with ShotgunS and
squirrel rifles for the most part, while
those under Moore had muSkctS and
were also better drilled than their foe
The fight lasted two hours, when
Colonel Moore ordered his center to
charge bayoncts. At this the Confed-
crates broke and ran, the Union troops
following for some distance. The Union
commander estimated that his own
losses We're twenty-three and those of
the enemy more than thirty-one. The
FcderalS also captured many prisoners,
horses, arms and supplies. The victory
was important for its moral effect in
northern Missouri.
The situation in the state was some
what as follows: Late in July the con
vention had met at Jefferson City and
declared the Offices of governor, lieu
tenant governor and secretary of state
vacant and provided that they should

Washington Still Menaced.
There was now Il renewed rumor
that johnson and Beauregard We're
about to attack Washington. McClel-
Ian had been expecting such an attack
and had finally succeeded in convinc-
ing General Scott and others that there
was actual danger. On Aug. II the
president issued another proclamation,
to the effect that all troops from
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine
and Michigan should be sent imme-
diately to Washington.

Many New Generals Named.
The extra session of the United
States congress adjourned on Aug g..
One of its last acts was to raise the
pay Of Union soldiers two dollars per
month. Among the army and navy
officers confirmed by the Senate were
the following: Major Generals McClel-
Ian, Fremont, Banks, Dix and Butler.
Brigadier Generals Mansfield, Nc
Dowell, Rosecrans, Anderson, Meigs,
Thomas, Mccall, Curtis, Kearney,
Reynolds, Heintzelman, Porter, Frank

Baker, Kelly, Lyon, Pope, Cox, Hurl-
burt, Schenck, Prentiss, Grant. Sigel,
Couch, Sprague, Burnside, Montgom-
cry, Phelps, Williams, Buel, Oakes,
Hamilton and McClernand. On Aug. 9
the president nominated an additional
list of brigadior generals, among the
list being the following: o. NJ. Mitch
ell, Lewis Blenker, Henry w. Slocum,
James S. Wadsworth. John ]. Peck,
John II. Martindale and George Nor
rell. Notwithstanding the fact that
Lincoln made jocular remarks about
the number Of brigadiers he appoint
ed, most of these men made names
for themselves in the war. some of
them taking rank among hesfworldS $
great commanders. Grant was en-
camped at Ironton, in the beautiful
Arcadia valley, in southeast Missouri,
when he received his commission as Il
brigadier general Opportunity was
ut last coming his way and she would
find him at home.
Nor was the promotion of officers the
only sign of activity on the part Of
the administration. On April 16 the
president issued proclamation that

times. There are differences of opinion
as to the motives of Magruder's act
One view is that he wanted to make
it impossible for the FederalS to en-
camp there in future and another that
he was drunk and fired the village

occurred two enGagements-one oppo-
site Point Of Rocks, where three Con

Activity In Virginia.
After the victorious campaign Of
Mcclellan in western Virginia things
were quiet in that section for Il time,
the only movement worthy Of note
being an effort Of the Union General
Cox to drive Ex-Governor Wise out Of
the Kanawha valley On Aug. s Gen
cral Rosecrans reported that this en-
deavor had been successful and the
Confodcrates had been expelled from
the valley. Five days later Captain
Dayton attacked and put to fight 200
Confedcrates near Grafton, killing
twenty one
Naval activity had been on the in
crease through the summer, most of
the effort on the Union side being di-
rected toward enforcing the blockade
and suppressing Confederate priva-
teerS. There were several minor en-
gagements about the middle of August.
It was reported that the United States
steamer South Carolina had captured
or destroyed eleven sailships trying to
run the blockade A little earlier the
Confederate privateer Petrol was sunk
by the United States frigate st. Law
renee, two of the crew being drowned
and thirty five taken prisoners. Another
Union boat, the Wabash, recaptured
the Mary Alice, formerly taken by the
privateer Dixie. On Aug. 10 the United

be filed at the November elections.
The Union men dominated the conven-
ton, as they did the state. General
Fremont, in command at st. Louis, had
designated General John Pope to keep
order in northern Missouri Following
the battle of Wilson's Creek Major
Sturgis had withdrawn to Springfield,
where he was Joined by Colonel Sigel,
who then took command and retired to
Rolla, at which point he soon had re
endorsements from Fremont. Cen
erals McCuloch and Price did not at
tempt to follow up their opponents,
though they did advance to Spring
field. Here McCullOch issued prOnun-
ciamentos claiming credit for victory
at Wilson's Creek, but he and Price
did not agree, and McCulloch soon
after withdrew from the state.
