the program being to move upon Mo
bile. Ala. by land, while the Federal
navy would close the harbor and as
sist to the best of it's ability.
The plan, therefore, was for Sher-
man to attack Johnston and destroy
his army. If possible. TO capture At
lanta and hold it, and with his troops
and those of Banks TO hold a line
through TO Mobile, or at least to hold
Atlanta and command the railroad
east and west. This would cut the Con-
federacy in two again. as gaining pos
session of the Mississippi river by
conquering Vicksburg had done before.
A New Johnston In the Field.
The Confederate army which was TO
buffet the attack Grant was preparing
to make on Atlanta had received n new
commander late in December, 1868.
This was General Joseph Z. Johnston,
4 new figure on western battlefelds.
Wounded in front of Richmond the
summer of 1862, Johnston had been
sent to the Mississippi region early in
1868 as general in chief over three de-
partments. including the army defend
ing Vicksburg under General ]. c.
Pemberton, the army then operating
in Tennessee under General Braxton
Bragg and the forces marshaled under
the Lone Star flag beyond the great
river. Fixing his headquarters nomi-
nally at Chattanooga. he moved from
place to place without, however. tax
ing active leadership in any battle.
Under Johnston, Bragg fought the
great battles OF Stone River. Chicka-
manga and Chattanooga. Under him
also Pemberton fought and lost at
Vicksburg. Yet his name does not APP
pear in the histories of these combats
except by mere incidental mention in
with Vicksburg. For some
reason the Confederate executive and
General Johnston didn't get on well
together. The general chafed over be-
ing kept from actual contact with the
fighting forces.

career I'm the old army had been nd
venturous and exciting from the time
be left West Point until the close of
the Mexican war. In battle with the
Florida Indians he was severely
wounded in the head when q lieuten-
ant just out of the Military academy
He distinguished himself under Cen
eraI Winfield Scott at the battle of
Cerro Gordo, Mexico, and in the storm
ing of Chapultepec planted with his
own hands the first American banner
unfurled above the castle walls.
In point of rank at least Johnston
stood highest in the United States
army among all the officers who re-
signed their commissions TO go with
the Confe;ieracy He was one of FIVE
leaders honored with the full rank of
general by the Confederate govern
ment Finding his name fourth on the
list instead of first, as he contended
that it should be. according TO the law
governing the appointment of officers.
he protested against the injustice.
This protest. made in August. 1861,
soon after the battle of Bull Run, is
believed to have caused friction be-
tween him and President Davis
The town of Dalton, where Johnston
found the beaten and dispirited troops
turned over to him by Bragg at Christ
mastide, 1868, was a place of no mill
tary Importance and unsuited for bat
tie for troops on the defensive. 1t
was an accidental camp. the Confed-
crates having halted there on their re-
treat from Mission ridge the 25th of
November.
A broad. open valley lies north of the
town, and the approaches from Chat
tanooga would be favorable for the
attacking army Johnston Kept up
strong outposts at Ringgold and Resaca
to hold the enemy at arms length and
set to work to fortify Atlanta as a
base Atlanta is 100 miles south of
Dalton, with three rivers intervening.
Johnston would have welcomed an at
tack CT equal numbers, but Grant was
rct so foolhardy. He knew his man
a2d prepared to set Sherman at the
task, with odds in his favor of two to
one.

He blamed Johnston for standing idly
| by while Grant surrounded and pen

| Pemberton. On one particular occa-
sion, before Grant had brought up all
| his troops and hemmed Pemberton in,
| Davis said that Johnston sent Pember-
| ton orders in writing to attack the foe
and cut his way out when he should
| have gone in person to Pemberton and
directed the fight.
Johnston said that he sent the order
in writing because he was preparing
to lead an attack in person from the
outside of Grants lines while Pember-
ton drove at the same point from the
inside. Pemberton received the writ
ten order and put his troops in motion
To carry it out, then suddenly changed
his mind and attacked in another di-
rection. failing in the attempt and los
ing Johnston's aid
The weapon placed in Johnston's
hand to keep the Army of the Tennes-
see out of Atlanta was in a battered
condition just at the time he took hold
OF it, Dec. %. 1863. 1t had lost %, 900
men in battle during the three months
campaign ending Nov. % at Mission
Ridge. Pie rolls showed lighting
strength OF 10000 men. but GoOo of
these were barefoot and 5000 without
musketS and blankets There was a
lack of forage for the animals, and
the battery horses were too feeble to
draw the guns.
Johnston found awaiting him at
army headquarters very pointed hint
from President Davis in Richmond
that he Immediately make'a dash into
Tennessee and recover the ground lost
by his predecessor. He did not act
upon the suggestion for the reason that
his army was not in condition to meet
heavy odds. and he thought the best
plan would be to stand at Dalton until
the Federals attacked him there He
hoped TO beat them and send them
back to Tennessee, when he would fol-
low and recover the territory.

A Record Making Battleship.


The most successful ironclad brought
into action in 1868 was the armored
frigate New Ironsides Early in that
year she Joined the Federal squadron
at Charleston and achieved a record
never surpassed by an armored vessel.
The New Ironsides was built of wood
and armored from below the water
line to the deck with four and one
half inch plating. She was go feet
long. IS broad and of APO tons dis
placement The armament was six
teen eleven-inch smoothbore guns. two
220-pounder PARROT rifles and four
twenty four-pounder howitzers
When the irOnclad fleet made its
celebrated attack on Fort Sumter April
Z, 1868, the New Ironsides was the
flagship. She advanced to within l. 700
yards of the fort and sustained the
greatest amount of pounding by shot
and shell with the least damage or
any ironclad in the fleet. Whereas
the plating of the monitors in action
alongside Were often broken in. bolts
displaced and plating leosened by the
shock of missiles. there was no dis
turbance whatever inside the New
IronsideS.
At one time that day she stood over
submarine torpedo, but the land
wire by which the Internal machine
was to be exploded was momentariiy
out OF order. and she escaped. How
ever. she was later struck squarely by
torpedo boat. and the result was
simply jar of the ship. with no dam
age to the armor.
Altogether the New Ironsides dur
ing her career of two years achieved
the record of having engaged in more
actions than any vessel ever afioat and
been struck with more projectiles. Yet
she was never put out of action and
her armor never pierced

Peace Talk.

This time fifty years ago there were
lions either taking place or about to
take place between the United States
and the Confederate States. Shortly
before New Years rumors came from
the south to the effect that the Con-
federate vice president, Alexander Fl.
stephens, was about to enter the Fed
eraI lines with peace proposals.
North Carolina was the center of a
strong peace movement, and its COVER
nor, General u. B. Vance. wrote to
President Davis making the novel
proposition that the attitude of the
north be tested. He stated with frank
ness the discomfort of many of his
people and said: 81 have concluded
that it will be difficult to remove it
except by making some effort at nego-
tiation with the enemy. am
promised by all men who advocate
this course that if fair terms are re-
jected (by the north it will tend great
.ly to strengthen and intensity the war
feeling and will rally all classes to
the support of the (Confederate) gov
eminent"
Writing in reply on JAN 3, President
Davis said that three distinct efforts
had been made to open negotiations
with Washington, all unsuccessful.
Vice President Stephens had been
stopped by Federal authority while he
was proceeding toward Washington on
peace mission and turned back to
the Confederate lines. ITO attempt
again On the face of repeated rejec-
tons of all conference with us) is to
invite insult and contumely and to
subject ourselves to indignity without
the slightest chance of being heard"
The attitude of Mr.. Lincoln was that
the United States government could
not recognize the Southern Confeder-
acy even so far as to enter into pre-
liminary negotiations with its agents.
Later General W. T. Sherman. while
in Georgia. invited the governor of
the state and Vice President Stephens
TO meet him in a peace conference. Gov
ernor Brown declined because Sher- |
man had no power to negotiate peace. |
and Stephens asked for assurances |
which Sherman could not give.
