Supreme Question.

Mextok, Ohio, July 12. General
Gariield h:is forwarded to Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts, the following letter
of acceptance of the nomination tender
ed him hy the Kepuhliean Xational
Convention:
Mextok, Ohio, July 12, 1SS0.
3)eak.Sik: On the evening of the bth
of .June last I had the honor to receive
from you, in the presence of the com
mittee of which you were chairman,
rthe official announcement that the Re
publican Xational Convention at Chi
cago had that day nominated me as
their candidate for President of the
United States. I Ticeept the nomina
tion with gratitude for the confidence
it implies, and with a deep sense of the
responsibilities it imposes. I cordially
indorse the principles set forth in the
platform adopted by the convention.
On nearly all the subjects of which it
treats, my opinions are on record
among the published proceedings of
Congress. I venture, however, to make
special mention of some of the princi
pal topics which are likely to become
subject of discussion. Without review
ing the controversies which have been
settled during the last twenty years,
and with no purpose or wish fo revive
the passions of the late war, it should
be said that, Republicans fully recog
nize and will strenuously defend all the
rights retained by the people, and all
the rights reserved to the States, they
reject the pernicious doctrine of State
supremacy, which so long crippled the
functions of theisational Government,
and at one time brought the Union
very near to destruction. They insist
that the United States is a Xation,
with ample powers of self-preservation;
that its Constitution, and the
laws made in pursuance thereof, are
the supreme laws of the land:" that the
right of the nation to determine the
method by which its legislature shall
be created cannot ue surrendered with
out abdicating one of the fundamental
powers of government; that the na
tional laws relating to the election of
representatives in Congress shall neith
er be, violated nor evaded; that every
elector .shall be permitted, freely and
without intimidation, to cast his lawful
vote at such election and "have it hon
estly counted; and that the potency of
this vpte shall not bo destroyed bv the
fraudulent vote of any other person.
The best thoughts and energies of
our people should be directed to those
gteat questions of national well-being
in which all have, a common interest.
Such efforts will soonest restore to
perfect peace those who were lately
in arms against each other, for justice
and good-will outlast passion. Uut it
is certain that the wounds of the war
cannot be completely healed, and the
spirit of brotherhood cannot fully per
vade the wliole country, until every
citizen, rich or poor, white or black, is
secure in the free and equal enjoyment
"i.uei.) iguana puuucui rignt guar
anteed by the Constitution and the
laws. "Wherever the enjoyment of
these rights is not assured, discomfort
will prevail, immigration will cease,
and the social and industrial forces
will continue to be disturbed bv the
migration of laborers, and the conse
quent diminution of prosperity. The
Xational Government should exercise
all its constitutional authority to put
an end to these evils, for all the people
and all the States are members of one
bodj', and no member can suffer with
out injury to all. The most serious
evils which now afflict the South arise
from the fact that there is not such
freedom and toleration of political
opinion and action that the minority
party can exercise an effective and
wholesome restraint upon the party in
power. "Without such restraint, party
rule oecomes tyrannical and corrupt.
The prosperity which is made possible
in the South, by its great advantages of
soil and climate, will never be realized
until every voter can freely and safely
support any party he pleases.
. Xext in irapqrtance to freedom and
justice is popular education, without
which neither justice nor 'freedom can
be permanently maintained. Its'irtter
ests are, jntrusted to the States and to
the voluntary action of the- people.
"Whatever help ie nation caii justly
afforusu'ould be generously glveii, fo
aid tlie, States in Supporting common
schools; ,but it' would be unjust to pur
people, and dangerous to' our institu
tions to apply any portion of the reve
nues of the nation orbf the State to
the,support of .seqterian schopls. The
separation of' the church and ttife state,
in everything relating to taxation,
should be absolute.
THE FINANCES.
On the subject of national finances,
my views have been so frequently and
f illly expressed that little is needed in
the way of additional statement.- The
public debt is now so well secured, and
the rate ot annual interest-has been so
reduced by refunding, that rigid econ
diny in expenditures and tlie faithful
application of our surplus revenue to
the payment of the principal debfcwill
gradually but certainly free the people
from its burdens, and close, with hon
or, the financial chapter of the war. At
"the same time, the government can
provide for all its ordinary expenditure,
and discharge its sacred obligations to
the soldiers of the Union and to the
widows and orphans of those w)io fell
in its defense.
The resumption of specie' payments,
which the Republican party sp cour
ageously and successfully accomplish
ed, has removed from the field of con
troversy many questions that long and
seriously disturbed the credit of the
government and the business o the
country. Our paper currency is now
as national as the Hag, and resumption
has not only made it everywhere equal
to coin,' but has brought into iise our
store of gold and silver. The circula
ting medium is now more abundant
than ever before; 'and we need only to
maintain the equality of our dollars to
insure to' labor and capital a measure
of value from the use of which no one
can suffer loss. Tlie- great prosperity
which the country is now enjoying
should not be endangered by any vio
lent changes or doubtful financial ex
periments. THE CUSTOM LAWS.
Jn reference tb the custom tyws a
policy should be pursued which will
bring revenue to the treasury and will
enable the lauor and capital employed
in our great industries to compete fair
ly in our own markets with the labor
and capital of foreign product. We
legislate for the people of the United
States, not for the whole world, and
it is our glory that the American labor
er is more intelligent and better paid
than his foreign competitor. Our coun
try cannot be independent unless its
people, with their abundant natural
resources, possess the requisite skill
at any time to clothe, arm, and equip
themselves for war, and in time of
peace to produce all the necessary im
plements of labor. It was the manifest
intention of the founders of the gov
ernment to provide for common de
fense, not by standing armies alone,
but by raising among the people a
greater army of artisans, whose intelli
gence and skill should powerfully con
tribute to the safety and glory of the
nation.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Fortunately for theinterests of com
merce there is no longer any formid
able opposition to appropriations for
the improvement of our harbors and
great navigable rivers, provided that
the expenditures for that purpose are
strictly limited to works of national
importance. The Missouri River, with
its great tributaries, is of such vital
importance to so many millions of peo
ple that the safety of its navigation re
quires exceptional consideration. In
order to secure to the nation the con
trol of all its waters, President Jeffer
son negotiated the purchase of a vast
territory, extending from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The wis
dom of Congress should be invoked to
devise some plan by which that great
rver shall cease to be a terror to those
who dwell upon its banks, and by which
its shipping may carefully carry the in
dustrial products of twenty-five mil
lions of people.
The interests of agriculture, which
is the basis of all pur material pros
perity, and in which' seven-twelfths Pf
our'population are engaged, as well as
the interests' of manufactures and
commerce, demand that the facilities
for cheap transportation shall be in
creased by the use of our great water
courses.
IMMIGRATION.
The material interests of this coun
try, the traditions of its settlement,
anil the sentiment of our people have
led the government to offer the widest
hospitality to emigrants who seek our
shores for new and happier homes, wil
ling" to share the burderteaswell as the
benefits of our society, and intending
that their, prosperity shall become an
undistinguishable part of our popula
tion. THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The recent move'ment of the Chinese
to our Pacific c'Past partakes but little
of the qualities of such an emigration,,!
either in its purposes or its result. It
is too much like an importation to be
welcomed without restriction," too
much like an'invasion to be looked up
on without solicitude. We cannot con
sent to allow any form of servile labor
to be introduced among us under the
guise of immigration. Recognizing the
gravity of this subject, the present ad
ministration, supported by Congress,
has sent to China a commission of dis
tinguished citizens, for the purpose of
securing such a modification of the ex
isting treaty as will prevent the evils
likely to arise from the present situa
tion. It is confidently believed that
these diplomatic negotiations will be
successful without the loss of com
mercial intercourse between the two
powers, which promises a great in
crease of reciprocal trade and the en
largement of our markets. Should
these efforts fail, it will be the duty of
Congress to mitigate the evils already
felt and prevent their increase by such
restrictions as, without violence or in
justice, will place upon a sure founda
tion the peace of our communities and
the freedom and dignity of labor.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
The appointment of citizens to the
various executive and judicial offices
of the government is, perhaps, the most
difficult of all the duties which the con
stitution has imposed upon the execu
t'
be wise to niake&imilar regulation's bv
law for the civil; service, but, without
mvauiug tue autnonty or necessary
discretion of the executive. Consress
should devise a hiethod that will de
termine the tenure" of office, and'gfeat
ly reduce the uncertainty which makes
the service so uncertain and unsatis
factory. Without depriving any officer
of his rights as a citizen, the govern
ment should require him to discharge
all his official duties -with intelligence,
efficiency and faithfulness. To select
wisely from our vast population those
who are best fitted for the many offices
to be filled requires an acquaintance
far beyond the range 'of any one man.
j. ue executive snouiu, tneretore, seeic
and receive the information and assist
ance of those whose knowledge of the
communities in which the duties are to
be performed best qualifies them to aid
him in making the wisest choice.
The doctrines announced by the Chi
cago convention are not the temnorarv
devices of a party to attract votes' and
carry an election. They are deliberate
convictions, resulting from a careful
study of the spirit of our institutions,
the events of our history, and the best
impulses of our people. "In my' judg
ment these principles should "control
the legislation and administration of
the government. In any event they
will guide my conduct until experience
points a better way. If elected, it will
be my purpose to eiiforc6 strict obedi
ence to the constitution and the laws,
and to promote, as best I may, .the in
terest and honor of the whole country,
relying for support upon the wisdom
of Congress, the intelligence and pa
triotism of the people, and the favor of
uou. witn great respect, I am very
truly yours, J. A. Garfield.
To the Hon. George F.lloar, Cliar'n of Com
Hancock and Hayes.
Washington Dispatch to the.New York Eve
ning Post.
Some of the Democrats have endeavor
ed to make it appear that General Han
cock, who is expected soPn to approve
the Democratic platform denouncing
his Commander-in-Chief as a corrupt
usurper, was from the outset opposed
to the Hayes administration. It is a
fact, however, which can be proved by
the official record, that General Han
cock, of his own volition, came to
Washington to take part in the ceremo
nies' of-inaugurating President Hayes
and that he was the first general offi
cer of the army to call upon the Presi
dent after he was inaugurated.
In the Senate chamber at the time of
inauguration there were three general
officers of the army in full uniform,
with their staffs. They were General
Sherman and Major Generals Hancock
and Terry. A gentleman who has tak
en pains to examine the record of the
War Department, where all army offi
cers upon their arrival here are requir
ed to register, reports that there was
no order issued requiring General Han
cock to be present, and that the entry
upon the registry book is substantially
in thesese words, in General Hancock's
own handwriting: "Winfield S. Han
cock, Major General, by invitation of
General Sherman, will beheroforthree
or four days." General Hancock, soon
after the ceremonies of the inaugura
tion, called at the White House, and
told the President that he had made
haste to call because his official duties
would soon require him to leave, and
he said that he wished to pay his re
spects to the Chief Executive before
leaving. Iliscall at the White House was
spoken of and remembered on account
of rumors then current in the Demo
cratic press that there was some dis
affection in the army. It "was thought
that if there was. General Hancock,
perhaps more than any other officer,
would have shown this by not calling.
Bill English is a "curb-stone broker,"
a member of the. "farmer's relief socie
ty," one of those fellows who loan
money at 40 per cent., aud foreclose
mortages to get their usury, providing
the loan is a minute over-due. He is
what Dickens would call "a charitable
grinder." Murat Halstead refers to
him in this way:
"Well, I should not like to say that
he ever made money wrongfully, for I
jiave no information to that effect, but
he's a man who that is, he's a man
well, he skins to the bone everything
he gets hold of. At. any rate, that is
what Indiana says; He's the only man
in the United States "who has an iron
front door."
"An iron front door? What's that
for?"
"That's what the Indianapolis boys
say he has. His bed-room windows
used to be all barred up, like a peniten
tiary or an insane asylum, and the
front door of his house, on a fashiona
ble circle of the city, is declared to "be
of iron. The boys say-that when it
bangs the sound can be heard all over
Indianapolis.
The democrats talk of getting money
out of this fellow with which to run
the campaign. When men gather blood
from turnips or pigs from bristles!
It is given out that ladies will wear
vests precisely like the gentleman's
after this. When a married man goes
to bed he will have to put a chalk
mark on his vest, or next morning he
may slip on his wife's and not discover
his'mistake until he inserts his thumb
and forefinger in the right-hand pock
et for a pinch of fine-cut, and finds
nothing but a piece of chewing-gum
and the stub of a short lead-pencil.
Then he will suddenly remember that
there was a roll of ten-dollar green-backs
in the left-hand pocket of his vest,
that is if he is an editor he will, and
he will rush back home in Rarus time.
The great demand of the times ap
pears to be a girl who can saw wood,
clean house, cook for a family of sev
en, take care of the baby, wash and
iron, "auswer the door," fight flies,
work fifteen hours a day, never get
cross, never waste, spoil or lose any
thing, never go out, never want any
thing, have no company, and be happy,
smiling well dressed, and contented
for 31.75 a weelj.
tive. The convention wisely demands
that Congress shall co-operate with the
executive department in placing the
civil service on tv better basis. Expe
rience has proved; that -yith our frer
qunt changes of administration no
system of reform can be'niade effect

Heady to Obey "President" Tilden's Orders
After Harch 3 The Story Againk Told
with Details Admitting no Doufci; of its
Truth Corroborative Eyfdenca.in Til
den's Acts.
i .
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTOX,Jjlly, QIt is
established that Hancock wrote
'fully
Gen.
Sherman while the count was in
pro-
gress, that he should, if the.-democrats-
declared Tilden, elected repognize him
after March :;d, even if he were inaug
urated or snouiu taKe tue oath in .New
,York. The wliole story is tints' told:
A secret conference of leading demo
crats of. Yennont was held at Water
bury on the evening pf March -31, at
which Gen. W. F. (fialilyjLSmith wjis
present. The chairman ofTthat meet
ing, Hiram' Atkins, editor of the Ar
gus and Patriot, mid chairman of the
state committee, has seen fit to divulge
the most important statements made
at the time, and he related them at
Cincinnati with the view of gaining
the good will and support of Tilden's
followers for Gen. Hancock.
The conference was held in an up
per parlor of Bishop's hotel, Washing
ton, on the evening of March 31. There
were present Messrs. Atkins, B. B.
Smalley, W. II. II. Bingham, Lucius
Robinson, A. M. Dickey, J.f. McGel
trick, M. D. Gilman, J. J. Deavitt, M.
S. Bowman, Col. Bailey, R. II. Scott,
L. W. Redington, and "fifty other repre
sentative democrats of Vermont. Dur
ing the evening Gen. Smith addressed
the meeting and said:
GEN. SMITH'S STATEMENT.
"There is one thing about Gen. Han
cock that I want to tell you of, which
will show the character of the man.
I know it to be true, and it is this:
During the exciting times pending the
election of president in 1870, and about
the time of the decision of the elector
al commission, Gen. Ilanqpck, who
then commanded tlie eastern military
department of the United States,' wrote
a letter to Gen. Sherman; expressing
his belief that Samuel J. rTilden was
legally elected president, and that ;is
suchjie was entitled to take the oath
of office elscwliere than at Washington.
Hancock further stated that as an offi
cer of theUnited States army he should
obey any order he might receive from,
President Tilden after midnight of
March 3. And, added Gen. Smith, he
was ready to answer a call for troops
to sustain President Tilden should the
occasion demand a, resort to arms."
The explicit statement from Gen.
Smith of a determination on. the part
of the present democratic candidate to
assist by force of arms in the usurpa
tion of the presidential pflice by Tilden
in 1S77, should such procedure be de
cided upon, was heartily applauded.
Gen. Smith was in a position to know
whereof he. spoke, and his statement
stands uncontradicted.
From facts developed since Han
cock's nomination there is little room
.to doubt that he was the real choice of
Tilden, and that a good understanding
lias long existed between the would-be
conspirators of four years ago. The
failure to take forcible possession of
the presidential office can beattributed
to lack of nerve and moral courage on
Tilden's part. Theoffer of Field Marsh
id Watterson to have 100,000 democrats
in Washington to see that Tilden was
peacefully inaugurated, seems, in the
light of Hancock's declared purpose,
to have been no mere,jest. The recent
conference of Hancock, Tilden and
Watterson is yery suggestive, and 'Til
den's declaration that Hancock was
really his choice is not an idle utter
ance. When this story was first printed,
by a .mistake of tlie types Hancock's
letter was said to have' been written to
Gen. Sheridan, instead of Sherman.
On this slight basis Gen. Hancock
founded a denial, and the fact of his
taking advantage of this small cover
is not commented on to his advantage.
Army officers here since the matter has
been made public, confirm the state
ment, and say Gen. Sherman received
such a letter. Gen. Sherman himself
comes in for criticism, because, having
such ' a remarkable correspondence
from a subordinate, he took no official
steps to call Gen. Hancock to account.
A lady at Columbus, Ohio, recently
inquired of the spirit-nippers how
many children she had?
"Four rapped the spirit.
The husband, startled at the accura-cj-of
the reply, stepped up and inquir
ed:' "How many children have I?"
"Two!" answered the rapping medi
um. The husband and wife looked at each
other, with an odd smile on their faces,
for a moment, and then retired non
believers." There had been a' mistake
made somewhere.
"Jane," said he, "I think if you lift
ed your feet away from the fire, we
might have a little heat in the room."
And they hadn't been, married two
years either.

Her Skeleton Poundiinthe Den. of an .Enor
mous .Black Snake.
From the New York Sun. . '
"'West Uxion,- Adams Co., Ohio,
June 22,-r-Ginger Ridge, a Tuggwl, ster
ile upland, about six miles jiortltwest
from here, is much excited .pver the
killing of an enormous black snake
which for several years has played lio vOc
with the farmers flocks. Hogs, poul
try, calves, sheep etc., have mysterious
ly 'disappeared, always at night Two
years ago a band of gypsies were camp-
eu in tlie neighborhood, and they were
accused of stealing the missing proper
ty. John Rainforth, a fanner, who
greatly suffered from these depreda
tions, swore out a "yarrantj before
'Squire Peter Anns, and had several of
them arrested. They had a prelimin
ary examination, but nothing was
proven against them, and they were
discharged. , They went away mutter
ing threats of vengeance.
. ' Mr. Rainforth had a g61den-haired
little daughter, 4 years old; whose
beauty and -.sunny temper were the
pride of her parents. On the day after
the arrest of the gvpsies little Xellie
Rainfdrth was missed. She was last
seen playing on the edge of a rocky
ridge, a short distance from the house.
Search was made for her, but neither
she nor tho. lamb was found. The
Avhofe neighborhood was aroused, and
men scoured the fields and woods for
miles around. Mr. Rainforth suspec
ted the gypsies .of abducting her qut
of revenge for their arrest, and follow
ed thq party across the Ohio River in
to'Ldwis County, Ky. When he- came
up with them they indignantly denied
all knowledge of the child's where
abouts, and a search of their camp fail
ed to discover "h is little daughter, ne
returned to his home broken-hearted.
One day last week Mr. Rainforth
was planting a field pf about twenty
five acres, situated near his hpuse.
He had not been at work long when
he discovered what at first seemed to
be a fresh furrow across the middle of
the field. He stopped work and follow
ed the track to a fence which separated
the field from a dense thicke't of under
brush. On the fence he found blood
and some sheep's wool, which at once
convinced him that tho body of a
"sheep had been dragged across the
fence. He went to his pasture and
found that a large Colswold ram was
missing. Accompanied by four or live
neighbors, Mr. Rainforth made search
for thq missing sheep. The track
through the brush was marked by
drops of blood and tufts of wool.
About sixty rods from tlie fencg they
came to a ledge of rocks, forming one
side of a steep hilL, The track led
directly to this ledge, in which was
found an opening of sufficient size- to
admit the body of a large man. A
large charge of giant powder was ex
ploded in the opening, and the rocks
were, thrown asunder by the bhist.
When the smoke cleared away" the
farmers drew near and peered into the
opening, aud there, among at least a
wagon load of bones, lay a huge black
snake, quivering from his hurt. The
fanners waited until the snake was
dead, and then .'tttqcheil a chain to his
body ami dragged the monster out of
the hole. He measured fifteen feet
seven inches in length, and the biggest
part of his body was over two feet in
circumference. Ho had an ugly look
ing head and enormous fangs, sharp
as needles. The missing ram lay be
side him, crushed out of shape, and1
covered with a sticky, glutinous sub
stance. I visited the spot to-day. and saw
tho monster snake. While I w:ls there
men were at work clearing the den of
bones. In a comer one of them picked
up u human skull. It was small, like
a child's and he brought it forward to
the light. Mr. Rainforth was stand
ing by my side, when the man came
toward us with the skull in his hand.
He glanced at it, and, staggering
.against a tree, buried' his face in his
hands and burst into tears.
"Poor little Xellie," he cried, through
his sobs." "My God, it is horrible!"
After a time he controlled his feel
ings and told me the story of his little
daughter's mysterious disappearance
two years ago. The bones of the little
one were gathered together and bur
ied in the family plotinthecpmetaryat
West Union. The dicovery was kept
from Mrs. Rainforth, for the poor
woman has never ceased to mourn for
her lost child, and her husband feared
that this intelligence might seriously
affect her; she being in delicate health.
There can be no doubt as to the iden
tity of the skeleton, for a gold chain j
which she wore around her neck was
found ampng' the bleeching bones.
General Roger A. Pryor, speaking
of the Cincinnati convention, is filled
with admiration. He says, "Memora
ble event!"' Unparalleled, indeed!"
ne calls upon the patriotic Democra
cy of New. York City "to search the
annals pf classic republics, and tell
him if such conduct be not unparalleled
in the patriotism of Greece or Rome."
There will probably be "a "corner" on
"Greece"' while Rome will be? made to
howl in the neighborhood of Xpw
TorkFive Points, as classic literature
is studied' under the advice of this
Democratic orator." Tlful General Pryor
told his audience to imitate the meth
ods of his solid South, and buy them
selves little shot-guns and convenient
black-snake whips and study the beau
ties of "tissue ballots," it would have
been better understood and more easi
ly put in practice, and more appropri
ate and fitting for the occasion.

of Virginia, when first appointed lo the

mountain Counties. The district was
made up of many "wild and unruly fel
lows. One of tlie Judge's first acts w;is
to impose a heavy fine, by way of ex
ample, upon a rough and hardy back
woodsman, for disorderly conduct. As
the man was leaving the court room in
charge of an officer, he turned and ad
dressed the Judge
"Your name is Coulter, is it not?"
"Yes."
"Well, all I have to say is, that you
are setting your coulter rather too deep
for a man who is plowing new ground."

, An' Incident of the "Wilderness." -
i ...
At the- close- of the first days .battle
of tho Wilderness after Grant's passage,
df the Rapidan, Gen. Lee, according to
Pollard, Relieved that he had complete
ly outwitted and beaten the new com
mander that had ventured to measure
wit and pluck with him. He called his
Generals together, and after a. council
in which those old soldiers- minutely
congratulated each other upon the
prospective foot race they were about
to enjoy with the Yankees' backs in
full view, the plan for tlie next day's
work was agreed upon. The problem
was how to best intercept the flight of "
OL the Union army,, stnko it here and
there in flank ami rear, and cut it to
pieces before it could gain a place of
Safety across the- river. Lee's orders
Were given to Longstreet to make a "
rapid march m one olirection, Hill in'
another and. so-on, to start at tluifirst
"crack of, day." . ,
'On the o,ther side of tftVpipfceC line,
Grant had also a meeting of Ins corps '
commanders. TlWve were- present
MeaUe the nominal commander of the
army, II;uicock, aud others. "Gentle
men," said Grant, "what is your opin
ion of the- situation, and the course to '
be pursued in this emergency?" And
they all began to say that there- was.
but one course to. pursue that was to,
effect a retreat across the Kapidaa'as
speedily as possible.
"Put that in' writing,' gentlemen "
replied the General. Hancock and the
rest sat down and commenced writing; ,
out their elaborate professional opiji-.
ions, that the only safety to the a'nny
was an immediate' retreat. 'While they
were drawing up theirbriefs of tho sit
uation, Grant also Was busy .writing.
When his generals were ready to hand
him their productions, he had a sealed
envelope addressed to each Piic -He
handed them severally ttr the respect
ive othcers. with the orderthat
they;
should have the reveille leaten at.two
o'clock that morning, and when their
columns should have heen "formed, to
open their orders and act accordingly1.
Each officer believe that he held in bis
hand an order directing the method, tp .
ment. On opening them, however
they wero found to Jbe orders to ad
vance and strike the army of Lee, on
the left flank. . t . ,
At four o'clock that morningGeneral
Lee rode- out AVith his staff to an enii-''
nence from which he. expected tosee
the army of the Union making tracks
for the Xorth. When he got there he .
had thechargrin to see it in full march .
around his left and toward Richmond. "
He turned a little pale, and according
to Pollard, who wis. than attached. ,to
his staff in some capacity, ejaculated:
"Gentlemen! the Yankees liaye got a
general at last, and our cause is lost!"
Seizing his writing tablet, Lee hastl-.
ly penned orders to Longstreet, Hill
and the other commanders he sent
away on their wild goose chase, and
started messengers on fleet horses to
overtake and bring them back. For
tlie rest of that campaign, Ave may be
sure that Gen. Lee did not send out
my detachments after a day s light to
cut off or harrass Grant's retreatint
forces.

the prominent officer that had been
with the Potomac army in command,

the first grip of a strong and crushing
hand upon the armies of tho Southern
