 General Lee meanwhile was to hold Rockers front with only 14,00O men. Such was the bold stra tegy of the Con federates at Charlottesville.
 At o'clock in the afternoon Jack sons van had safely reached the plank road three miles to the west of Chan cellorsville. The march had been ob- served by the Federals, but owing to the rounda bout direction it had pur- posely taken they supposed it was re- treat, not an advance.
 Toward o'clock in the evening all was in readiness, and Jackson ordered

 strong enough to renew the struggle. It really amounted to a disaster to the Confederate army, having abruptly checked what had looked like vic torious invasion and demonstrated Lees present resources were entirely inadequate for offensive operations.
 Three days after the withdrawal of the southern army from Maryland President Lincoln issued his proclama- ton of emancipation to the negro slaves. This measure, in it's war re- 1atfon, was expected to fan reactionary flames in the south and so aid the Fed eral arms in crushing the rebellion. Its immediate result was to precipi- tate heated political discussion at the north
 General McC1ellan's suggestion to his army that the remedy for past errors was at the polls in the next presiden- tia1 election naturally aggravated the growing breach between him and the Washington administration The final outcome was that early in November Mcclellan was relieved from the com mand of the Army of the Potomac. to be succeeded by Major General Am prose E. Burnside, fourth successive commander in the field of the Union forces in Virginia, third to head the superb Army of the Potomac organized by Mcclellan hardly more than year previous.
 Burnside conceived the idea of con centrating his army on the Rappahan- mock river, opposite the historic Vir- ginia town of Fredericksburg.
 Lee ordered Jackson and Longstreet to Fredericksburg and intrenched his army on the heights back of the town, on the same (right) bank of the river, Knowing that the enemy, changing his line of communication with his base of supplies. would require time before as- suming the offensive. The plans of Burnside were indeed unfathomable, but the calculations of the Confederate clIieftain were fulfilled to a nicety.

Like an avalanche the Confederate rush descended upon the Union line, driving everything before it, capturing cannon before they could be reversed to fire, rolling up whole di- visions and hur1ing them back upon the enemy's center until the Wilder ness was an inferno of smoke and Same, of roaring guns and trees crash hg down, riderless horses and men without arms running about frantic ally; mules carrying ammunition that exploded as they fled; guns, caissons. forges, ambu1ances and wagons tum- bled in mad, terrified scramble as it became apparent that the brilliant tao tics of Lee and the dashing execution of Jackson had succeeded and Hook er's right had been irresishbly forced back upon his center.
 'If only I had another hour of day light!' cried Jackson. He would have completed his work by surrounding the enemy's army in the tangled woods and cutting off its retreat to the lords of the Rappahannock. As it was, the Federals finally checked their flying columns and made a stand at Chancel- Iorsville, where they were pouring an appalling artillery fire of double canis- ter up the line of the plank road. Dark ness or no darkness, flight or resistance, the fury of battle was unclaimed in Jackson's soul, and his cry was still <Press onY'

 "No,'' he replied quickly. ''The dan ger is over. and we must follow up the enemy Go back and tell A. P. Hill to press right on!''
 After this no one presumed to offer further remoAstrance, and they rode on in silence, peering uneasily through the half darkness, until suddenly volley of firing ahead seemed to indicate that they had run upon Federal skirmish line. The general turned his horse, but unfortunately went off the route and toward the front of some of his own troops who were lying on their arms and who had no Idea that their com mander had passed beyond the lines.

Bob Ellingham rushed forward and caught the bridle rein, while Captain Wilbourn helped the general to dismount. His left arm hung limp, and the officers removed his gauntlets, which were filled with the blood streaming from three wounds which he had received simultaneously.

 T%HE Federal army had been re-
 pulsed from Richmond. but the
 southern capital was still it's
 objective The Confederate forces in the meantime could play their trump card and by menacing Washington draw McCleIlan's formida- ble army away from the banks of the James.
 The setback of Mcclellan prompted Mir. Lincoln in the first place to gather up the armies which +'StonewalF' Jack son had scattered in the valley and put them all underline command of one officer, who should be charged with the protection of Washington, and, second ly. to fortify his own council by the appointment of supreme military ad- wiser. who should be commander in chief of all the Federal armies.
 For the first named commission Major General John Pope was the un- fortunate choice. For the second Major General Henry W. Haueck was brought out of the west. and the whole land force of the United States was saddIed with a bureaucrat whose own soldiers could not help ridiculing the bombastic declamations from his Headquarters in the saddle," enjoin- Ing the troops who followed him to take no account of strong positions, lines of retreat or bases of supply, but to keep always on the flank of the en- emy, of whom thus far hei had seen nothing but their backs.
 He saw their faces presently at Ce- dar Run, where Jackson administered a signal defeat, and later in Augusta, when Lee and Jackson and Longstreet, who had taken his measure from the start finished him at Manassas on the old battlefield of Bull Run in a series of quick actions.
 Antietam's day of carnage passed into history as a drawn battle, because on the day following neither side felt

STEVENSON MINERS.
ON STRIKE

A strike at the Stevenson mine
has practically tied up that prop
erty for week past. The cause
of the trouble is stated to be the
demand on the part of workmen
for four hour work day on Sat-
urdays instead of a five hour day,
rs arranged under the new eight
hour working schedule.
The property is guarded by
deputy sheriffs, although no sign
of trouble is apparent about the
property, the men simply refusing
to work.
The underlying cause Of the
strike is ascribed to the work of
a few agitators, and it is probable
the men will again resume their
positions shortly, taking cogniz-
ance of their own needs rather
than the word of that element
which seeks trouble rather than
employment.

BIG BIZ Gut N ORE
=. 7. PRICES REPORTED
49, Ossseo
It Is Said rs Gents Per Ton Less
Will Be Received Than Going
Price Last Year. Hard Blow to
Independent Operators.

An associated Press dispatch
from Cleveland under date Of
March Fl announces that big
reduction has been made in the
price Of ore, IS cents per ton less
than the going price in 1911 be-
ing quoted.
A confirmation of the veracity
OF the report cannot be had
among mining men, but if true it
is freely predicted that it will
mean the closing down of many of
the independent mines, as ore can
not be put on lower lake docks at
the figures.
The press dispatch reads as fol-
lows: "Cleveland, O., March Oh
Announcement was made yester-
day of deep cuts in lake ore pric-
es. Sales have been made at fig
ures that will govern for the year.
The reduction is IS cents on old
range and Mesaba Bessemer, and
65 cents on old range and Mesaba
non-Bessemer. The new prices
therefore will be 1915 a gross ton
for old range Bessemer and $3.50
for Mesaba Bessemer, $3.05 for
old range non-Bessemer and $2.85
for Mesaba non-Bessemer. These
are the lowest prices in years.
In speaking Of the cut one local
mining man states that it costs
practically $500 per ton to lay
ore on the lower lake docks, and
that it, operated for the season
many of the producers Of nom
Bessemer ores on this range will
have to work at loss, a condition
which will naturally tend to a

BAILEY MARSH COMPANY
GET FEDERAL BUILDING
CONTRACT

In line with the advice given
publication in the last issue of the
of the Enterprise, word was re-
celved here on Saturday by Mrs.
Mary H. James, postmistress, that
the contract for the erection of
the new postoffice building for
this city had been formally
awarded to the Bailey Marsh
Company, Minneapolis.
The appropriation of 100000
for this building was obtained
through the efforts of j. Adam
Bede at the time he represented
this district in the house, and the
fact that it has taken some four
or five years for the wheels of the
governmental machinery to move
to a point where the actual cree
ton of the building becomes a
possibility has become a joke
among Virginians. But while
Virginia has needed new build
ing for it's postoffice for some
years past, it has suffered pa
tiently and will welcome the news
Of the possibility Of fruition Of it's
hope even at this late day. The
buildings on the site purchased
two years ago at the corner of
Maple and Wyoming are being
moved, and we expect to see them
laying brick on the new structure
at an early date. Hurry the day.

TWO MORE MAD DOGS

The mad dog scare which has
internationally prevailed in this
city for the past several months
received a new impetus yesterday,
when two more dogs were sacri-
feed because of signs Of malady.
Because of this latest scare
Mayor Hawkinson has caused to
be issued proclamation calling
for the muzzling Of all dogs from
and after Monday next, March
25th, until further notice, with
the alternative that any dog
found running at large unmuzzled
will be shot.
1t is therefore up to dog owners
to again decorate their pet ca
mines with the customary regalia
if they value their lives.
