THE WAR FIFTY
YEARS AGO

BY Captain GEORGE L. KILr1ER. Late
U. s. v.
"HIS time fifty years ago the
Federal Army of the Potomac,
under General George B. Nc
Clellan, was marching through
sloughs Of sticky Virginia mud toward
Richmond. The Confederate army,
which had abandoned its Notifications
at Yorktown on May 4, was retiring
toward Richmond. Its commander,
General Joseph e. Johnston, believed
that Richmond could best be defended
from McClellans attacks by an army
in the open. His backward march
was over the same roads which the
Federals followed.
He kept near enough to his foe to be
ready to strike quickly If he saw that
he had the advantage. McClellan's
line of advance was between two riv-
ers, the Pamunkey on the northwest
and the James on the southeast. The
Pamunkey is navigable to within
twenty miles of Richmond and the
James the whole distance.
Mcclellan established his base of
supplies on the Pamunkey. This gave
water communication with Fortress
Monroe and Washington via York riv.
er, the Chesapeake and the Potomac.
A railroad ran in the center Of the
peninsula from West Point at the
mouth Of the Pamunkey to Richmond.
The track was repaired as the army
and engines and cars were

Halleck began the siege OF Corinth'

gard had marched back from the bat
tle6eld of Shiloh. General Halleck de-
termined to make vigorous campaign

East of him part of the troops, General
Buell's army of the Ohio, had crossed
the lines from Tennessee into northern
Alabama. on the Goth General Mitchell

Confederates out.
General Ben Butler In New Orleans.
On the Doth also the stars and stripes
were hoisted over the custom house at
New Orleans by the detachment OF sail
ors whom Farragut had sent on this
errand with couple Of his staff Off
GERS. The Confederate troops had
evacuated New Orleans. The mayor OF
the city had refused to surrender the
place. There was considerable parley-
ing over the civil surrender, nearly all
the citizens opposing it. This was cut
short on May by the arrival of Gen
eral B. f. Butler with body Of Fed
eral soldiers. He inaugurated a Wig
GUS military rule.
Butler came in contact with unruly
elements in New Orleans soon after
he took control as military governor.
The Confederate soldiers had left the
city, but among the citizens there were
many troublesome ones who seized
upon very incident which smacked OF
oppression to show their hostility. The
first United States flag hoisted in New
Orleans was raised over the United
States mint. This was done as soon
as Farragut's ships appeared in the
harbor on April 26. 1t was promptly
hauled down by a man named Num-
ford, a respectable citizen. The city
had not been formally surrendered,
and the citizens believed that the flag
raising was premature. Farragut re-
ported the hauling down Of the flag to
General Butler, who promptly replied,
"I will make an example Of this fellow

Ironolads Attack Richmond DefenseS

{
The James river was closed to Fed
eral ships at Drewry's Bluff, fifteen
miles below Richmond. McClellan's
favorlte plan was to advance along the
James river, and Johnston believed
that he would do this. In fact, he
thought that the Federals would cross
the James river to the south bank, as
they did in 1854. He planned to at
tack them while crossing II not before.
To meet an expected attack at Drew
ry's Blum the Confederates mounted
FIVE big guns ON the hills and sunk
several ships in the river channel to
Obstruct the Federal navy. Captain
Josiah Tatnall and the crew Of the old
ram Merrimac handled the batteries.
On May 10 the Federal ironclad Moni-
tor and the ironclad Galena, supported
by three wooden gunboats, sailed up
and attacked the Confederate defenses.
The Galena was a small corvette
plated with three inch iron. She car
rled six guns. The Monitor carried
two guns. The Galena ran to within
GOO yards of Tatnal's guns, the Moni-
tor going a little nearer. The Moni-
tors fire was too low, and she soon
dropped out of the fight unharmed.
The shots of the ironclads dismounted
two of Tatnall's guns and killed sew
eral of his men. But the Confederates'
fire was still more effectual on the
ironclads. The Monitor was struck
squarely on her turret by an eight
inch shell and hit twice on her side

Slaughter on Board the Galena.
1t was a hopeless battle from the
start for the ironclads. Commander
John Rodgers Of the Galena determin-
ed to test his ship and remained under
lre four hours. One ten inch shell
broke through and shattered the hull.
The Gonfederates concentrated their
fire upon the Galena and converted the
Ihip into a slaughter house. Out of
Iwenty-eight shots which struck the
ship eighteen penetrated the armor.
Her loss was thirteen killed and eleven
wounded. Confederate sharpshooters
lined both banks of the river and pick.
ed off the men from the GaIena with
ease. The Galena attempted to dis
lodge these death dealing marksmen
by raking the banks with shell and
small shot. But they held their ground
until the ironclads dropped down the
river out of range.

Buffers War on Women.
Buffers first act of discipline in the
captured city was the proclamation Of
martial law. Well disposed persons
were assured that they and their prop
erty would be preserved and the laws
maintained. He requested that out
RACES committed by Federal soldiers
should be promptly reported. It soon
became known that a large portion OF
the population was literally starving
An attempt was made to hurry for
ward provisions from Mobile and other
cities, but there was still a shortage.
However, there was a large amount
of beef and sugar stored in the city
which had been gathered for the Con
federate troops in the field. Butler
on the 9th of May had ordered l,OOO
barrels of these commodities to be dis
tributed among the poor women and
children of the city even though their
husbands and fathers were in the army
fighting against the United States. The
business men of the city co-operated
with the Federals to establish order
although they had little faith in But
ler's ability to subdue the turbulent
element which remained.
A notable exception to this spirit of
submission was the conduct Of a por-
ton of the female population who
availed themselves of the privilege OF
their sex to offer insults in various
ways to Federal soldiers. Butler deter
mined to make an example Of this, and
on May 18th promulgated general or
der No. % and sent his name ringing
throughout the civilized world. 1t read,
"As officers and soldiers Of the United
States have been subject to repeated
insults from women, calling themselves
ladies, of New Orleans, in return for
the most scrupulous noninterference
and courtesies on our part, it is ordered
hereafter when any female shall by
mere gesture or movement insult or
show contempt for any officers or sol
diers Of the United States she shall
be regarded and held liable to be treat
ed as a woman about town plying her
vocation"

A Campaign of Threats and Alarms.

A Campaign of Threats and Alarms
The field of Jackson's exploits in the
spring of 1862 was well suited for a
trial of his theories. The Shenandoah
valley between the head at Staunton
and the Potomac river is over a hun
dred miles long. Staunton was a strong
base for the Confederates in the valley
because it had railway connections
with the main Confederate armies
south. The Federal forces were strong
on the Potomac and If not opposed
would advance up the valley on Staun-
ton and so cooperate with the army
threatening Richmond. Jackson's duty,
when figured down to just what his
government expected of him, was to
keep up a scare in the valley, threaten
to cross the Potomac and pounce upon
Washington and in this way compel
the northern government to maintain
a large force in the vicinity. In other
words. Jackson was to furnish occupa'
ton in the valley for Federal troops
that otherwise would be sent to aid
Mcclellan in front of Richmond.
In May, 1862, Mcclellan was ad-
vancing up the peninsula against the
Confederate capital. A good sized
Federal army under General Mellow
ell was lying in the region just east
of the Shenandoah valley, another un-
der Fremont was in the mountains
west of it, and another under Banks
was fortified at Strasburg, a point
about one-third Of the way up the val.
ley from the Potomac. Jackson was
at Staunton. In the combined armies
of Generals Mcdowell, Fremont and
Banks there were about $4,000 men
that could have been moved toward
Richmond but for Confederate activity
in the valley. Jackson's force was
about 10000 On May the first bat
tie of the campaign was fought at the
village of Mcdowell, in the mountains
west Of the valley, between division
of Jackson's command and one Of Ere
mont's under Schenck. Schenck led
Fremonts advance and was cooper
ating with Banks, who was intending
to advance up the valley from Stras'
burg toward Staunton. Schenck was
defeated in the battle Of May s, and
Jackson turned his attention at once
to Banks at Strasburg. With his whole
force he marched boldly down the
valley in the direction Of Strasburg,
where Banks army lay behind fortii-
cations.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-05-31

While yet a novice in war, Jackson
adopted two theories about military
operations which he afterward prac'
ticed with success. The first was, "Al.
ways mystify, mislead and surprise
the enemy if possible, and when you
strike and overcome him never let up
in the pursuit so long as your men
have the strength to follow" the sec
ond, "NeYer fight against heavy odds
if by any possible maneuvering you
can hurl your own force on only a part
of your enemy and crush it."

Butler Proclaimed an Outlaw.

| NOCdliOLs
Butler Proclaimed an Outlaw.
The mayor of the city wrote to Cen
eral Butler a vigorous protest against
this order, and Butler imprisoned him
in Fort Jackson until he apologized in
writing. This apology, together with
an explanation by General Butler Of
the meaning and intent of the order,
was published in the daily papers of
May 16. The explanation read as fol-
lows: "There can be, there has been no
misunderstanding Of general order No.
%. No lady will take any notice of a
strange gentleman in such form as to
attract attention. Common women do.
Therefore, whatever woman, lady
or mistress, gentle or simple, who by
gesture, look or word insults, shows
contempt for, thus attracting to her
self the notice Of my officers and sol
diers, will be deemed to act as be-
comes her vocation as a common wo-
man and will be liable to be treated ac-
cordingly. 1 shall not as 1 have not
abated a single word of that order. 1t
was we'll considered; If obeyed, will
protect the true and modest woman
from all possible insult The others
will take care of themselves"
The furor created by the publica-
tion Of order % was not confined to
New Orleans nor the southern states
1t was read to the Confederate soldiers
to incite them to renewed ardor in re-
sisting northern enemies. The most
conservative in the north criticised it
and the radical opponents Of the war
denounced it in unscathing terms.
President Lincoln tolerated the or
der. Some weeks later Butler himself
in a private letter said that unless the
rampant element was held down there
would have been riots and it would
have been necessary to clear the
streets with artillery. He could not
arrest the women, so he issEed an or
der which executed itself. In the
same spirit shortly afterward Butler
hanged Mumford for hauling down the
United States flag. Calls for Buffers
assassination appeared in southern pa
pers, and President Davis proclaimed
him an outlaw European statesmen
were slow to believe that the Federal
government would sanction order No.
%. 1t was bitterly denounced in the
British parliament Prime Minister
Lord Russell declared that it was in
defensible as an act of war and calcu
lated to incite the soldier to violence.
