The Torch Applied.

Beginning with the movables, the
raiders burned on the 10th 1000 bar
rels of flour, worth In some parts of
the south 500 per barrel. Confeder-
ate money. A like fate befell 10000
bushels of wheat, 100000 bushels of
corn, 10000 bushels Of oats and 1900
barrels of salt meat, which were also
priceless In the southern cities. Salt
was at the time a rare and costly arti-
Gle all over the south. OF this indis-
pensable 1000 sacks were destroyed;
also a large quantity of leather, for
want Of which half of Longstreet's
soldiers were going barefoot at that
moment; thirty-one boxes of army
clothing, twenty bales of cotton, also
intended for army clothing; harness,
saddles and shoes for cavalry horses
besides tools, oil, tar and other stores
and equipments and 100 army wagons
used to haul supplies from the interior
to the depot.
In the days work was included the
destruction of half a mile of telegraph

Raiding Confederate storehouses.

The nearest foes Of the raiders were
behind them and between them and
their base, which was in West Virginia
near the Shenandoah mountains, over
100 miles from Salem. The Tennessee
and Virginia railroad was a Confeder-
ate line throughout all of Virginia and
for a matter of thirty miles after 1t
crossed the border into east Tennessee.
At the end of that thirty miles, strug-
Cling also with the elements and with
cold and hunger, was the Confederate
corps of General James Longstreet.
Longstreet didn't know where Aver
ellis column was nor what 1t might be
doing, but the C~onfederates on the east
of Salem knew that the raider was
afield. Among them he had a reputa-
ton for limitless enterprise and dar-
ing. Learning that Salem was a great
depot of military supplies, Averell set
about its destruction.

date command of the defenders Of the
valley. He placed his troops to V
Staunton, at the southern end Of the
valley. Major General Fitzhugh Lee
was summoned from a distance with
his cavalry. Marching too far to the
north, he lost two days time. Major
General Jubal Early, commander of
the department, FASTENED to Staunton
to direct the pursuit.
While other forces were distributed in
the gaps of the Ridge. Lee and limbo
den marched from Staunton southwark
to Lexington, west of the Ridge and on
the raiders track. From Lexington
they started to cross the range to Gov
ington; but, on being told by a native
that the Federals were aiming for Blu
chanan, Early ordered them to that
point. Buchanan is twenty miles
southwest of Covington and the same
distance northeast of Salem. Lee and
Imboden recrossed the range to get to
Buchanan, and meanwhile the game
had flown.

AvereIl Captures q Dispatch.


In the direction Of Covington. Icy
roads over the mountain delayed the
march,. Within t~wenty-four hours the
command swan across Craig's creek
seven times. dragging artillery by
ropes. By the capture of a Confeder-
ate dispatch Averell learned the where
abouts of the nearest foes and decided
to press on to Covington. Jackson's
river lay across his route. Confeder-
ates We're In force there and had piled
fagots at two bridges ready to ignite.
They were driven off in nick Of time.
but the raiding column was four miles
long, and before the last regiment and
ambulances had crossed the enemy raj
lied to retake one bridge.
The Confederates failed to retake the
bridge. but were in position on a near
by ridge to rake the crossing with ar
tillery. Ayerell sent word to the be-
lated detachment to swim the river
higher up and then destroyed the
bridges. Covington was reached the
21st. Meanwhile Confederate detach-
ments the size of a small brigade block
ed every road but one to the north.
This was over the top of the Alleghe-
MES and deemed impracticable. New
ertheless the raiders got over with all
their artillery except four caissons.
The sufferings and h~ardships of the
raiders were shared to the full by the
pursuers. Said the Examiner: mo Lam
guage can tell the sufferings of our
men. They were in saddle day and
night ave a few hours between mid
night and day. They were beaten up by
the officers with their swords-the only
means of arousing them-numb and
sleepy. Some froze to death; others
were taken from their horses sense
less. They forded swollen streams and
their clothes, stiff frozen, ratified as
they rode. 1t rained in torrents and
froze as 1t fell. In mountain paths the
ice was cut from the roads before they
ventured to ride over"
Averell reported a loss of 1O5 men
drowned, wounded and missing. He
captured 200 Confederates. Long
streets force was neutralized in east
Tennessee. 1t took several weeks to
repair the railroad and reopen his COM
munications with Virginia. Until that
was done any aggressive move on his
part vas out of the question. Grant
finally decided to leave him undisturb-
ed where he was.

careful survey of the room and its

"Yes, sir replied Bunch, in his

perhaps the young man wanted a
lease sworn to or something of the
kind.
"Well-wen, Ill want to get

his countenance.

II was down to his Office" replied
the wuuld-he bridegroom. but there
were about thirty other fellows in the
room. and ! knew some of them, so

all them people"
MIR Bunch kindly suggested that
he bring the bride to his Office and
have Judge Daniel come there and
marry them. where his friends could
not observe his nervousness.
Judge Daniel finally arrived and In
the presence of Mr. Bunch and At

MONOCLE ROBBED HIM

YOUNG GERMAN WANTED TO

GOOD AND MARRY GIRL.

ocle shattered the dreams of Dr. Otto
Gordon Goldfeld. Of Germany. those
of his father. and of n beautiful
European chorus girl, whose identity
shall remain a secret until her hero's
dream has been rebuilt and realized:
Dr. Goldfeld, a sclf-confessed
lover, spendthrift and temporarily
disinherited son. recently came to the
United States with the intention OF
Joining the army. He wanted to
forget the pretty chorus girl. the
bright lights of Monte Carlo and the
memory of the s32. .O00 he lavished
on his fiancee in one year.
Three years in the American army,
Goldfeld. his father and the girl de-
cided. would make n man of him.
He would then return home. be re-
inherited and would marry the girl.
Goldfeld enlisted at Chicago last

Tuesday and was assigned TO Jeffer-
son Barracks in ST. Louis. He arrived
with monocle In front OF his right
eye. with cane hanging on his left
forearm and other insignia OF the
dandy. His physique was Appolosque.
He could ride, hurdle and swim.
But
He wore a monocle and could not
see. at least not perfectly. The
strain, by its constant use, has made
him unfit for the United States army.
The local examining officer there
fore rejected him yesterday and the
Germans dream was shattered.

Erreze Most Disastrous.

Onley, Va, May 2S.-The freeze
last week was the most disastrous in
this section within the memory of
the oldest citizen. Ice on-ighth inch
thick formed. In consequence the
potato crop in the central and south
ern parts of the peninsular is sert-
ously injured. In our opinion the
damage will exceed so per cent. The
southern part of the peninsular and
land along the river front appear to
have escaped with little damage.
1t is impossible at this time to esti-
mate the loss the growers have sus-
tanned as this will depend largely ON
weather conditions for the next few
weeks. Crops have been suffering for
lack of rain. but as there was lib
eral shower the first of the week we
belieev many of the vines will pro
duce potatoes, although they will be
a couple of weeks later in developing,
The fields that have not been dam
aged are looking fine, and we expect
to begin marketing our white pota'
toes from the Cape Charles section
around the latter part of this month
A great many of the sweet potato
plants were cut down badly by the
frost, but these can be reset with
out serious loss. ~
