THE WAR DAY BY DAY
Fifty Years Ago.
Dec e. 1S63Gn Joseph Johnston Arrived Dalton Ga to Take
Command Of the Confederate Army that Had Been Driven from Before
Chattanooga by the Forces Under Gen. Grant
cwritten expressly for The HeraIdo

Fifty years ago today Gen. Joseph
e. johnson arrived at Dalton, Ca, to
take command of the Confederate army
that had been driven from before Chat
tanooga by the forces under Gen Grant
Gen. Johnston had been called upon at
the eleventh hour to save the day for the
Confederates in Northern Georgia He
was the ablc7t general, except Lee, to
whom Jefferson Davis could turn, and
yct Mr.. Davis had hesitated to appoint
him. The two men were not on good
ierzns, while Gen Braxton Bragg, under
whom the army had suffered successive
defeats, was a warm personal friend of
the Confederate President.
The strained relations between Gen.
Johnston and Jefferson Davis dated from

but had failed IL follow up his victory:
had slowly invested Chattanooga: and
had been defeated there in the battle of
Missionary Ridge, en- October 23-25.
Falling rapidly back into the mountain
passes on the railroad leading TO Atlanta
Gen. Bragg had made a successful stand
at Dalton.
Before the battle of Chattanooga, prac-
tically all the officers of his army had
Joined in n memorial to jefferson Davis
asking for the removal from command
Of Gen. Bragg. Mr.. Davis had visited
the army, and had heard complaints of
the generals, but had declined to act.
Gen. Longstreet, who had been sent TO
Bragg with a corps of Lees army, by
reascn of his rank stood at the head Of
the dissatisfied generals. He was de-
tached and sent to Knoxville with his
command to besieSe that place. Bragg's
army was thus weakened on the eve Of
the battle of Chattanooga.
Gen Bragg was a conscientious and
brave man, but suffered from an infirm-
ity of temper. He quarreled sooner or
later with everybody about him. Gen
Grant in his memoirs relates an anec-
dote of Bragg, when young officer,
quarreling with himself. He was at a
small post where he was not only COM
manding officer, but quartermaster As
quartermaster he drew reQuisitions upon
himself as commander, and as comman-
der he declined to honor the acquisitions
which he had drawn as quartermaster,
indorsing them with sharp reprimand.
LEGION of Ragamufins.
Under such a commander the generals
found it difficult to serve. After the bat
tie of Chickamauga Gen. Bragg relieved
from command Bishop Leonidas Polk
who commanded wing Of his army.
Bishop Polk wrote a protest to Rich
mOnd in which he severely arraigned
Gen. Bragg for incompetence.
On December Gen. Bragg was re-
lieved of the command and Gen. Will

the beginning of the war. OF the distin-
gui3hed officers who left the service of
the United tstes for that of the Con-
federacy, Johnston held the highest rank.
He Wa brigadier general and quarter
master general of the United States army.
S. Cooper. who became adjutant gen.
eral of the Confederate army, was a
colonel; so also was Albert Sydney John
ston, who lost his life at Shiloh. Rob-
ert f. Lee was lieutenant colonel nd
G. T. Beauregard was a captain.
When the Confederate Congress estab-
lished the grade of the general, Joseph E.
Johnston found himself fourth instead of
first Oil tine list. He wrote a warm letter
of protest to Jefferson Davis and from
that dated the strained relations of the
two men. which were to have an impor-
tant effect upon the fortunes of the Con-
federacy.
Johnston and PembertOn.
Gen. Johnston had commanded. with
BeaureGard. the victorious Confederate
troops in the first battle of Bull Run. He
was in command OF the Confederate army
defending 'iChmond against the Army of
the Potomac in the spring of 1852, and was

Mcclellan in the battle of Fair Oaks or
Seven Pines MAY ~, when he was
wounded by a bullet through the shoul-
der and by a fragment of shell, which
broke several ribs.
The fall of Johnston gave Lee his op-
pOrtunity. The next day Lee was ap-
pointed to command tn army. and in a
few hours he had begun the movements
which resulted in driving the Federals
from before Richmond. across the
swamps to James River.
Gen. JohnstOn's wound was serious and
SOW to heal. and it was not until the
spring of 1865 that he was able to resume
military duty. He was then ordered to
Mississippi to organize an army for the
purpose of relieving Nicksburg. where
len. John {. Pemberton. another per-
'onaI friend of President Davis. was in
command.
The work was -distasteful to Johnston.

HOT CAKES FOR
COLD WINTER DAYS

Some one has said that what the ONE
let is to the Frence cook the pancake is
to the English cook. Apparently there Is
enough English left in US to account for
our liking for pancakes, for there are
few of US who do not relish good hot
cakes once in a while on cold mornings,
or pancakes as an entree or dessert al
luncheon or dinner.
Here is a recipe for New England PAN
cakes: Stir five tablespoonfuls of sifted
flour and a teaspoonful OF salt into two
cupfuls Of cream which has been mixed
with the yolks of seven eggs and the
whites OF four. Pour this batter in thin
layers on a hot creased griddle or frying
pan. brown the cake on one side, turn ii.
brown it on the other and serve It with
sugar and cream or maple syrup.
Here is another recipe for pancake bat
ter: Mix four beaten eggs, four table
spoonfuls of flour. two ounces Of melted
butter. a cupful OF milk. and an ounce OF
granulated sugar with a pinch OF salt.
Rice cakes are a pleasant change. To
make them cook and drain and cool half
a cupfuI of rice. Mix 1t with a quart of
milk, a little salt the yolks Of four eggs,
and beat. When it is smooth, add alter
nately half a pound OF flour and a heap
ing teaspoonful OF baking powder mixed
with the stirf whites OF the four eggs
Cook in spoonfuls on a hot creased grid
die.
Stuffed pancakes are delicious as en-
trees or desserts They can be stuffed
with meat and then fried like fritters in
this way: Make the batter into large
griddIe cakes and cook them on both
sides Quickly put a little chopped meat
veal, ham, tongue, or sausage meat
in each, roll them, slice them crosswise,
dip the slices in batter and fry in deep
fat, very carefully and rather slowly.
Garnish them with parsley or water
cress.
To make a good batter for stuffed meat
pancakes, mix a cupful of -four. cupfuf
OF thick, sour cream, four well-beaten
eggs, two ounces of melted butter, and a
cupful of milk.
Another way to cook stuffed pancakes is
cut them in stripes and arrange the strips
to spread them with the filling. roll them.
in a buttered baking dish. Then mix
rupful of milk with two beaten eggs sea-
son with salt and pepper and bake until
he milk and egg custard is set.
A good dessert is made by spreading
aver of any sort of preserved fruit, jam, |
or jelly, on pancakes, rolling
hem and sprinkling them with sugar.
These, like all other pancakes, should be
served hot the moment they are done.

Health Depends on IL.

On the COndltlon OF the cellar depends
the health of the family; a damp, dirty

in general. and ii means sickness and
doctors bills.
Every woman who keeps house should
pay a visit TO the cellar at least once
a week and insist upon its being kept in
order. II should not be regarded as a
receptacle for ashes, old papers. rubbish
and any old thing that happens to be
around the house that we do not want

cheap. and ii is really necessary in order
to keep the place in dry. healthful con-
dition. The spring is the best time to
have this done. after the furnace fires
are out and the ashes have been removed
Don't let the windows get so grimy
with dust and SCOT from the fires that
you cannot see through them. Your cellar
needs light quite as much as any other
room In the house. Have the windows
washed at intervals. and on clear, dry
days, when it Is not too cold. see that
they are left open for at least a little
while each day. On damp. rainy days,
and in freezing weather. they should be
kept closed.

WOMAN AND THE HOME
LOOK WELL TO
YOUR CELLAR
Personal Inspection and Care One of
the Tests Of Good
Housekeeping.
Edited by JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Have you ever been guilty, when walk
ing along the street. of peeping in other
peoples cellar windows, just at that time
when the furnace man is making his
evening rounds, and the place is ablaze
with lights. and you can see all there is
to be seen? And has what you saw ever
set you thinking and wondering IL your
cellar looks like that?
But perhaps you are not at all interest
ed in cellars, and you've never peeped.
Well, I'll agree with you and admit that
the cellar is not the most fascinating
place in a house. There is something un-
canny about cellars; they suggest spiders,
snails. rats. and other Shiny, crawling
creatures, and we don't like to go down
into them and, what is more, we don't go
into them.
But 1t isn't because we are careless
about our houses; We are just as particu-
lar as We can be about every other place
in the house; even the kitchen is spotless
II is simply because we do not realize
the Importance of keeping the cellar, al
most above all other places, immacu-
late.
