Union forces were divided into three

SissippI by steamer to go up the Yazoo

also the rear of Pembcrton's army
The third column was cavalry, which

All three of these columns came to

1862. Grants chief depot of supplies
was located here, and Van Dorm de-
stroyed all he could not carry away
Grant was compelled to retreat
The cavalry advancing from Friars
point had an experience which some
recent events in Flanders have re-
called TO my mind. We came into one
of the great bottoms of the Yazoo.
heavily timbered with pecan trees the
great trees rising nifty feet before the
first limb was reached.
We entered there one ..fternOon.
Before we could get out the Confeder-
ates cut the levees and flooded the bot
tom to the height Of our horses bellies
Night came on, an intensely dark night.
We were caught as in trap. We
foundered around and found no outlet
Hours went by, the water slowly rising
all the time. We could not climb the
great trees. We could not find a way
out. All night we remained, not know =
ing what was TO he our fate. G.. r.

lege of the soldier 20 be scared We
availed ourselves of that privilege.
Morning, when it finally came, was
a JOY and d delight, for the dawn
showed us way back to the higher
ground.
'1t was impossib BILE for Grant to send
news to Sherman of his rerteat so
Sherman went on to carry out his
orders, landing lns men at Chickasaw
bayou and attacking the enemy. now in
overw helming force, at Haynes bluff.
His men became entangled in the net
work of bayouS, and their assault be-
came hopeless. The fighting lasted
through December Is and 20, and re-
suited in a loss to Sherman'S army of
about 1000, with trifiing loss to the
Confederates. BY great skill sherman
.xtricstted his forces and returned to
the steamboats, and the Mississippi.
With this defeat and slaughter the
terrific losses at Stone river December

of Burnside ut Fredericksburg Decem-

Minority Leader Richards
Denies That Republicans
Are Controlled by Bankers

TRENTON, March 19.-Minority
Leader Richards, of the Assembly.
objects to Governor Fielder's refer
ence to the Republican legislators
made in the Governors statement
concerning the bank tax bill. He lost
no time yesterday in going back at
the Governors statement with one of
his own, He warmly resents the
Governors alleged insinuation that
the Republican legislators are con-
trolled or influenced by banks or any
special interests. His statement is as
follows:
The Republican Assembly minority
denies that it has or intends to caucus
upon this measure. Every Republi-
can is absolutely free to vote upon
this question as his conscience die
tates. This measure was discussed,
as are all others of Importance, at
the frequent conferences held by the
minority, and We feel that there is
a principle involved in this bill which
iustifies every member of the minor
ity in voting against it. 1t is not true
that banks escape taxation. They are
taxed upon the same basis as individ-
uals Because of their large invest
ment in county and municipal bonds,
which are exempt from taxation, 1t
Is true that they do not pay directly
a large tax, but it must be pointed
out that an individual holding such
bonds is likewise exempt, and 1t is
for this reason that the counties and
municipalities are able to market
their securities at a favorable price.
1.-The Republican members refuse
to subscribe to a bill which is con-
fiscatory and which will result In the
depreciation of the price OF county
and municipal bonds.
1.-The Republican members warmly
resent the Governors insinuation that
they are controlled or influenced by
the bankers or any other special in
terest. He cannot scape from an inn
possible situation by endeavoring to
throw the blame upon the Republic
can minority.
''The present administration is not
meeting the financial question now
confronting the Legislature in a
statesmanlike manner. a flood OF
special forms of taxation. such as
bank tax. automobile tax, inheritance
tax, bond issues, diversion of school
money and other fragmentary and
UNEQUAL systems of taxation are pro-
posed, although there is not any suf-
ficient explanation upon the part of
the Democratic majority of reasons
for increasing the revenues of the
State. The Republican minority has
asked and continues to ask what has
become of the money which has for
years produced the means of defray-
ing the running expenses Of the State.
TO this question we do not receive
even q pretended answer.
1.-The Republican conference reaf-
firms its opposition to this bill. This
conclusion represents the consc'en-
tious thought of the members influ-
enced by threats of caucus action OF
by fear of executive disapproval."
