main army moved on west to attack
the Mississippi stronghold. General
Johnston promptly reoccupied the town
as a rallying point for forces which he
hoped to gather for an attack upon
Grants rear.

Federal Cavalry Pursuit.

General Judson Fitzpatrick also set
out July 8 to head off Lee with three
cavalry brigades. He struck General
"Jeb" Stuart's troopers in Monterey
pass and while fighting them in front
was attacked in the rear by a body of
Lees infantry. The dashing cavalry
nan cut his way through Stuart's lines
and rode off toward the Potomac with
1900 prisoners in his train. Lees
wagons were under a strong escort,
commanded by General J. D. Imboden.
Fitzpatrick often attacked the moving
column so boldly that Imboden was
compelled to use canister to save his
train.
Fitzpatrick reached Hagerstown, Nd,
and found 1t In possession of Stuart.
but he did not turn back. Captain
Uric Dahlgren, on Kilpatrick's staff.
distinguished himself by a charge into
the streets packed with Stuart's troop
ers. Captain Lindsay of Company A.
Eighteenth Pennsylvania cavalry, had
been killed in a hand to hand fight.
and Dahlgren led the survivors of the
company In a dash across the public
square. He lost a leg In the exploit
and was given a colonel'g commission
for %gallantry.
Imboden's column of trains was
fourteen miles long. When it reached
the Potomac the river was SO high on
account of recent rains that crossing
by fords was impossible. Lees bridge

ed behind him by Federals. His artil-

CONVICTION OF CHAIR MAN
WILL CREATE VACANCY TO
BE FILLED BY GOVERNOR.
MADE GOOD run in 1911 PRIMARY
Hattiesburs Man Was Only Opponent
and Made Fine Race Against Smith.
Strong Endorsement VIII Be Pre-
scented and Appointment Urged.

The probable vacancy on the board
of state penitentiary trustees as a re-
suit of the conviction of c. C. Smith Of
the charge of defrauding the state,
has resulted in bringing to the atten-
tion of Governor Brewer the name of
/. v. Austin, of this city, who was
Smiths only opponent in the 1911
Democratic primaries.
Mr.. Austin received a highly compli-
mentary vote and had he been elected
would have carried into the office a
ripe business experience that would
have qualified him for the duties of the
position. Mr.. Austin has a large mum
Der of friends throughout south Mis-.
sissippi and strong endorsement OF
him as one well suited for the posi-
tion of penitentiary trustee will be
placed in the hands of Gov. Brewer
who will be urged to appoint Mr.. Aus
tin to the expected vacancy on the
board.
The appointment by the Governor
would be for the unexpired term Il
which Smith was elected, the law con
ferring that power is shown by section
41SS of the code, which says:
Vacancies in office; how filed
When vacancy, other than in tn
Legislature, shall occur, by death, res
'gnation or otherwise, in any State o
State District office, which is elective
the same shall be filled for the unex
pired term by appointment by the Gov
error"
|. V. Austin has resided in Hatties
burg for several years, having been en-
gagged in the cotton buying business
an experience that would make hin
very useful to the state in the sale o
the large crops of cotton produces
every year on the prison farms. He i

dorsement given Mr.. Austin when h,

ant and his lawyers who had confident
ly relied. upon an acquittal and wore
an air of confidence.
So confident of an acquittal was the
chief counsel for the defendant that as
the jury was retiring he kindly advised
the newspaper reporters present to go
on to their offices and get in type mat
ter for an extra with big head line,
Smith Acquitted" stating that with
in 20 minutes the jury would return a
verdict of acquittal."
The reporters replied that he was
reckoning without his host, that there
might be a mistrial, but that there
would certainly be no verdict for ac-
quittal rendered during the night.
At that time it is fair to say that
none of the reporters around the press
table expected a conviction, but rather
looked for mistrial, and that seems to
have been the general impression out
side of Smiths sanguine friends, who
have clung close to his side regularly
since he was arraigned.
Immediately after the verdict was re-
turned there was visible commotion
among Smiths friends, and 1t was evil
dent that they were greatly surprised
as we'll as deeply affected by the YER
dict of guilty"
Smiths faithful wife, who sat
just behind and close to him continu-
ously since the trial began, was deeply
affected and sobbed as the verdict was
rendered. It was several moments be-
fore the commotion subsided and not
then until the judge had raped sever
al times for order.
After the decision of the jury had
been rendered, Smith was taken in
custody by the sheriff and conducted
to the Jail where he will remain pend
ing an appeal, which cannot be taken
till sentence is pronounced, which will
doubtless be at the morning session
today.

Washington, July 10.-What virtu-
ally is an ultimatum in the militia
controversy was served Governor
Blease of South Carolina and the mill
tia authorities of that state last night
by officials of the War Department.
The action was taken because of the
Governors refusal to instruct the mill
tia to conform with the requirements
that entitle state troops to Federal aid.
AS a result the $4,000 of Federal
funds available for the South Carolina
troops virtually has been withdrawn
and the cooperation between the regu-
lar military establishment and the citl-
zen soldiers had been served.
Secretary Garrison, it was declared
last night, had informed Governor
Bleas that unless the Federal require
ments are observed, cooperation would
cease. Brigadier General Albert l..
Mills, chief of the militia division of
the War Department also simultane-
ously warned Adiutant General Moore,
of South Carolina, that the expendi-
ture of any funds on account of the
Federal government at the coming
state encampment would be made at
the latter's risk.
The action of the War Department
followed an interchange of sharp let
ters in which Governor Blease declared
he would be glad to be rid of Federal
aid or espionage. There are thirty
companies In the state militia, IL OF
which are said to have ignored the
regulations.
