The Hor.e Artillery IN Action.

As soon, however, as Ashby came in
view Of the Valley pike. be emerged in
to an open country. and telling me to
bring the Battery Of Horse Artillery
along with the charge Of the Cavalry,
dashed upon the enemy, crowded in the
pike. The infantry had passed on their
retreat to Winchester. but the Cavalry.
of which Banks had about $500 was
crowded in the road, between two stone
fences. They were ut best poor horse
men and very little able to cope with
the splendid mount of the Confederate
Cavalry. Ashby galloped to the fence
and with his own pistol emptied many
saddles. while the kuns. thrown into
position within 100 yards of the road
poured deadly fire into the enemy.
In his official report General Jackson
uses the following language:
I'm q few moments the turnpike
which just before had teemed with life,
presented spectacle of carnage and
destruction The road was literally one
mass of dying men and horses. Among
the survivors the widest confusion
existed; they scattered in disorder in
various directions, leaving 200 prison
ers in the hands of the Confederates. !"
General Ewell had been sent forward
on the Front Royal road towards Win
chester. and jackson crossed over with
his Division to the Valley pike. He
proceeded at once to put into effect
one of his maxims after defeating
the enemy. press him with the utmost
vigor, and pursue him as long as human
endurance will permit. -
Ashby, with about 200 men continued
to press the enemy vigorously. when
he reached the vicinity Of Newtown, he
formed his cavalry. and telling me to
charge with the guns, made an assault
upon the enemy's position and drove
them through Newtown. He was at
the front all night and was with Cen
eral Jackson early in the morning. At
ter he had driven the enemy through
Winchester the Horse Artillery was
hurried in pursuit, accompanied by
jackson himself. Ashby was then we'll
to the front attacking the enemy when
ever opportunity offered. DR.. Dabney
got the impression he had gone off on
an independent expedition towards Ber-
ryvilIe. do not know how he fell into
this mistake, but all historians, follow
ing this assertion, have reflected upon
Ashby for not having his cavalry in
hand to charge Banks army after he
was defeated In modern warfare it
has been demonstrated that small
bodies of Cavalry are Ineffective IN a
charge against Infantry and Artillery.
II he had had at his command fine
body of troopers it would have been
different, but il would seem too much

Continued from last week.


On April 18th, instructing Ashby to
make demonstration against Banks
at HarrisonburR, jackson left the Elk
Run Valley, General Ewell taking his
place. and marched up the river to
Port Republic. The mud in the Valley
was very deep, the roads terrible, and
it was with great difficulty the march
could be made. On May Bird. he turned
to the left, and crossed the Blue Ridge
mountains, directing his march to a
station on Meechums river. Everyone
was bewildered by Jackson's move
ment s. Ewell, who heard he had dis
appeared without giving him orders,
rode over to see Ashby, and insisted
that jackson had lost his mind, saying
that nothing else could account for his
disrepect in not leaving him orders, or
giving him information as to his move
ments. jackson was naturally OF q
secretive disposition. He knew, as do
all other men. the most unsafe reposi-
tory for a secret is with q man. He
knew if he gave valuable information to
one man, it was likely to be commune
Gated to another, and finally reach the
whole army, and the enemy would soon
get wind of it. He determined to keep
his own secrets, and to hold no Coun-.
Gil of War where his plans would be
divulged to others. He was taking
this precaution when he pursued the
route he did to strike Mllroy at Nc
DoWelE.

Lee and jackson the Last Re-
lance Of the Confederacy.

Such was the gloom and dependency
it has heen said. upon good authority,
preparations were being made to aban-
don Richmond. In this hour Of trouble,
the people of the South rested their
main hope upon the magnificent cour-
age of the armies in Virginia. and on
the genius and ability of those two
matchless soldiers, Robert E. Lee and
Stonewall Jackson. General Lee who
from this time on, played upon the
fears and timidity of the Administers
ton at Washington, wrote to General
Jackson to make q speedy movement
against Banks and drive him to the
Potomac. With his own and EWell's
Division he commenced his march
north on May 21st, Taylor's Louisiana
Brigade leading. As the eagle, soar
ing aloft, discovering his unsuspecting
prey darts with full swoop upon bis
helpless victim, SO Jackson by q rapid
march to Front Royal fell upon AND
swept Kenly from his path on the 2Srd,
captured the bulk of his command,
and pressed on to intercept Banks IL
his retreat upon Winchester. Ashby
had been sent to Buckton, station
ON the road to Strasburg. He cap
tured the troops there, and moving q
rapidly overlook jackson at Cedarville
Banks, alarmed by the demonstration
at Front Royal. had commenced hi
retreat on Winchester, leaving Stras
lburg at 10 .. m. on the 23rd 81 May

The Enemy My.tified.

For several days ne was lost. No
one knew hisNpurpose except Ashby.
Taking the train. he unloaded his troops
at Staunton. and marched direct to
attack Milroy at Mcdowell. That
General had been re-enforced by
Schenk's Brigade, and Fremont was
marching to his aid. Miiroy assailed
our troops to be repulsed after sharp
fight. and in the night withdrew down
the South Branch Valley. Inthe morn
ing, jackson discovering the enemy
had disappeared, Immediately pursued
them. They adopted the novel expe-
dent of setting fire to the woods, max
ing pursuit most difficult. Turning
back to Mcdowell, General Jackson
crossed the mountain to Mt. Scion,
and commenced the concentration of
his troops at New Market and Luray.
AT this time the affairs Of the Confed-
eracy awere enveioped in gloom, The
battle Of Shiloh had been fought and
lost and General Albert Sidney john
son killed. In front of Richmond, Nc
Clellan had assembled an army of
100. 600 men. and was expecting Nc
Dowell at Fredericksburg to march to
his assistance. Mcdowell with his
fine army was to march on the 26th to
take position on the right flank of Nc
Clellan. Mr.. Lincoln and his Secre-
tary went to Fredericksburg to wit
ness his grand review. Banks at this
time was at SIrasburg with 1850 men
and sixteen guns; 1900 men were sta
toned at Winchester. and Geary with
2, 600 was in Fauquier, Colonel Henley
with the First Maryland Regiment
numbering 1000 men and two pieces
of artillery was at Front Royal.

NEW YORK, July 5.-United States
army engineers. in a recent report on
Niagara Falls, estimate the force OF
the cataract at 100000 horsepower,
or 150,000,OO0 man power. II one un-
dertook to develop this energy for
only a single day by hiring men at 81
each, 1t would cost $3OO,000,000, or
enough to build another Panama Ca
nal. Besides that, 1t would be neces-
sary to scour the world for laborers,
as the total able bodied male popula-
ton OF the United States is only about
q tenth OF the working force that
would be required.
Yet 1t cannot be said that the gcoun-
try is wasting the cost Of the Panama
Canal every day at Niagara. It is.
estimated that q million visitors de-
rive pleasure and inspiration from the
great masterpiece Of Nature every
year while electrical generating plants
have been established which are de-
veloping almost 100000 horse power
from the falling flood. This amount

KEYSTONE PARTY
IN CONVENTION

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 5.-The
Keystone Party, which has for its mis-
sion the radiance of Pennsylvania pol
itics of corrupt bosses and machine
methods, began it's State convention
in the Colonial theater in this city to-
day with a full attendance of dele
gates. The purpose Of the convention
is to decide whether the Keystone
party shall place its own State ticket
in the field this year or endorse the
candidates of the old political parties.
Reports have been circulated to the
effect that the KeystOners might sup
port the new Republican organization
under the leadership of William Finn,
but sentiment among the delegates
appears to be strongly opposed to such
a course. ccording to D. Clarence
Giboney and other prominent leaders
the Keystone party is more likely to
endorse the Democratic State ticket
headed by William H. Berry, who ex-
posed the colossal capitol graft, as
the candidate for State treasurer.

President vetoes Water Grab.

"The reasons given by President Taft
for vetoing the Cooss river bill touch the
high points in the Tionesta dam situation.
The Goose river is in Alabama, and the
object of obtaining the water privileges
by private company was to make it the
initial enterprise for the construction of
a chain of plants for the production of
"air nitrate fertilizer" now known as
calcium cysnid," the immense import
ance of which has recently been abun-
dainty sttested by the very foremost
chemical and agricultural experts of the
United States and of the world. The
manufacture of air nitrate fertilizer is of
recent origin, and the one proposed was
to be the second in this country. The
bill passed both houses of Congress, and
President TAFT disapproved it, saying that
the construction of the dam by private
parties brought the waterpower privilege
within the regulstive rights ofthe govern
ment with respect to navigation; that
however much credit was due the origi-
nators OF the enterprise II was manifest
that in the course of time the return TO the
investors might far exceed reasonable
return to the government for the value OF
the privilege granted. The President
plainly indicated leaning to the policy
of making the granting of wsterpower
privileges upon navigsble streams help
to pay for navigation improvement.
"As the application for the water privi-
leges of Tionesta creek is being held up
until the legislature passes further laws
on the subject, this view of the subject by
President Taft will be of general in
terest."-Oil City Derrick.
In view of this disposition upon the
part of Congress-s Democratic House al
that-to barter away the water rights o
the United States, ii will be necessary
also to send only men of influence anG
abil ty to the national House il the peo
ple's rights are not to he stolen from
them. Only the never-faling courag,
and sterling honesty OF President Taf
stood between this grab and nation o
confding citizens.
