A NEW HAPPINESS CULT
By FRANCES sHAFFER.

stone viii assure that young woman that
courtesy pays.
And II there was q diamond ring for
every young woman, every young man
and for some who, are older. who are
more attentive, polite, ana helpful than
they need be. according to the real
exactions Of their positions, the gems
would flash out the truth all over the
world that there are some genuinely
courteous, cheerful workers afieId.
And II Mr.. Backus is right in his
belief that the ball OF happiness will
be started a-rolling by the practice of
noting courtesies and acts OF kindness
that spring up unbiiden, then IL would
be well indeed for US all TO Join the
Appreciation League Of the United States
and send along the names OF men and
women who dignity their daily service
and themselves by stepping aside from
their routine lives to make others more
comfortable.
Putting q premium upon courtesy and
the like? Possibly; but the most beauti-
ful flowers in the world must be coaxed
into growing-and they are beautiful Just
the same.

Fifty years ago today Gen. JamessLong-
street was marching against the Federals
under Gen. A E. Burnside in East Ten
nessee, with q force OF about 1900 men
who had been detached from Bragg's
Confederate army besieging Chattanooga
From the beginning the campaign had
been mixmanaged by the Confederates.
Gen Bragg was largely responsible for
its ultimate failure. He declined to ac-
cept suggestions of a trained and sue
cessful leader, Gen Longstreet.
The two men were not on good terms.
Gen. Bragg, though a brave fighter, was
not the man to lead the Confederate
forces In the Middle West. The latter
knew Of Longstreet's unbel!ef in him, and
felt that Dongstreet's advice was pre-
judicial to his own (Bragg's) interests.
Shortly after the defeat Of the Fed
erals at Chickamauga, Gen. Longstreet
had suggested that q strong force be
sent against Gent Burnside, who was
holding East Tennessee with about
5000 men. Longstreet believed the situa-
tion of the Federals at Chattanooga,
which was besieged by the Confederates,
would render It impossible for them to
aid Gen. Burnside, and that he probably
would be compelled to retreat in haste or
to surrender.
But Gen. Bragg, at first, refused to
sanction such a movement. The Federals

force large enough for the task as
signed it and asked Gen. Bragg for an
additional 5000 men. He believed II i'm
perative that a large force be sent
against Burnside in order that II might
accomplish its task and return to
Chattanooga before the Federals should
strike. His request was refused He
then suggested the possibility of the
FederaIs attacking during his absence
and suggested that Gen. Bragg fall
back from Missionary Ridge, in front of
Chattanooga, to a less exposed position
in the rear. Gen. Braggs answer to this
was q sardonic smile
Leaving Gen. Bragg, Longstreet had
at once put his troops in motion. They
were to march from Missionary Ridge
and Lookout Mountain to Tyners Sta
ton, where they were to embark on
cars which would take them into East
Tennessee as far as Sweetwater. about
100 miles from Chattanooga and sixty
from Knoxville.
Owing to Encouragement, proper
transportation was not supplied. Some
of the troops and batteries had to march
half, the distance to Sweetwater. On
many of the railroad trains the loco
motives were so small or defective that
the men had to Chamber out of the cars
and walk up every hill on, the road.

dicated that Gen. Burnside contemplated
falling back toward Cumberland Gap II
the Confederates should advance in force.
They found that he considered, as an
alternative. crossing to the south side of
the Holston River, into a rich country
where he might subsist his army for
months and occupy the attention OF Long
street until Grant might be able to give
assistance.
Grants emissaries dissuaded Burnside
from these ideas, and urged him to make
a stand and contest every foot of ground
with Longstreet's advance.
A rumor that Burnside intended to re-
treat from East Tennessee into Ken
lucky reached Washington. where 1t
caused great alAm. The Federal au-
thorities there Immediately teIegraphed
Burnside 10 hold his post at all hazards
Gen. Grant, under urgings from Wash
ington. telegraphed to Burnside on No
vember Is that the necessity OF remain
ing in East Tennessee could not be i'm
pressed upon him ''in strong enough
terms" Grant spoke of accomplishing
his object even II 1t sacrificed half of
the cavalry Of the Ohio army" He said
he could not conceive of the necessity
of retreating, and added that II Burn
side should evef have occasion to do
so 1t should be only after losing most
of the army"
With such radical instructions before
him Gen. Burnside determined to hold
his own. even II II cost him his army.
He hurried from Knoxville to the front
to combat Longstreet's advance.
Burnside had only 5000 men In front of
Longstreets 1900 electives. This num-
Der was, however. enough for the pur-
pose. Burnside had no intention of CIV
ing battle to the Confederates. He mere
ly- hoped to SO delay their advance that
Longstreet would be absent from BragEs
army at Chattanooga when Grant at
tackled.
Thus, while Grant was hurrying prepa-
ration to attack Gen. Bragg at Chatta-
nooga in order to force the recall of
Gen. Eongstreet from in front Of Burn
side, Burnside in turn was planning to
assist Grant by drawing Longstreet from
Bragg and weakening the Confederate
army which Grant was TO give battle.
Fifty years ago today heavy skirmish-
ing was in progress as the advance of
Gen. Longstreet's force moved along the
roads from the river crossing at Hufrs
Ferry toward Knoxville.
