OLD HARV! His Marveloils Escap* Ee vernie Atlanta Old Harvey Lincoln, the most no torious moonshiner in the Cohuttah mountains, and a man on whose trail the deputy aud deputy collectors and deputy marshals have been camping for many moons, came in and surren dered himself voluntarily to the Fed eral Court a few days ago. Ke had been dodging the officers sent in search of him for years, and his appearance in Cours was a very startling and un expected event. He had no excuse to offer, but simply told the Judge he was done with moonsb'^ing, and that ; if he was granted amnesty for his past misconduct he would never violate the revenue laws again. The Court, knowing that the word of one of these moonshiners is con l^sidered sacred aud inviolable once it M|is given, was disposed to be lenient with Lincoln, and he was dismissed with the admonition to beware of how he conducted himself in the future. "I have heard such good reports of you as a man, a neighbor and a citi zen, Lincoln," remarked the Judge, 5'that I am inclined to be lenient with you. The fact that you have volun tarily surrendered is in your favor, and knowing in what light you people up there look upon illicit distilling I am constrained to believe that aside from making contraband liquor you have led an honest life and have beena good citizen. But remember, if you are caught in the business of manu facturing liquor again without having obtained a license, I shall not be light on you but will impose the heaviest penalty in my power." "Thankee," said old Harve with a 'how,1 'you needn't be oneasy 'bout my makin* any more contraban'. I'm done wi' moonshinin' forever! I've j'ined the Baptis' Church and I'm gwine to live a Chrischun life the bal ance o' my term. A'ter sich a sper unce as I've bin thro' I don't think that I'll ever want to look at another Knowing that there must have been weighty reasons for his resolve the writer waylaid old Harve in the cor ridor ar d asked him why it was that he had decided to reform all of a sud den. "Weil, sir, hit's a long tale, to tell ac' hit's one. th at'll make yer har rise to listen to. Me an' Bud Braswell had put nj? the purtles' little still ye ever seed in a notch o' Fort mount'n nigh the tcp, an' hit wuz so sitiwated that&? could see anybody fer mo' than a mile comin: f'om any direction. - On one side the mount's ^ ?fopped .down 'bout seven hunted foot inter the Talley bilow,,^ a fly could hard ly crope up thc side, hit wus so natvIy steep. ^.S "QnV other side wus a level on top **jwie mount'n an' there wus only one way to git to the top, an' that w?s , f mighty roundabout, so that one uv us could hide in a bunch o' laurel bushes at the edge o' the flat an' watch every >road that led to the foot o' the monnt'n, an' had a clean sweep o' the ! trail that led np thro' the hemlocks an' pine saplin's, while t'other wus tendin' to the still in the ravine on the ' yan side o' the mount'n. "We kn owed that them 'ere reve nue fellers wus jus' nat'ly itchin'to ketch ns, an' we had ter be mighty keerfnl 'bout, pnfcfcin' up the still, which'wus made out'n a big wash b'iler, a toop?er gum cap an' sever'l gun bar:ls fas'end together fer the worm. Ther wus a little spring whut trickled out'n thc rocks under a big hemlock jest above thc still an' hit gin ns all the water we needed in the business, an' a man standin' in the valley would ?never notice what little smoke riz from the still, beca'se o' the thickness o' the timber. "Oh, hit wus the neates' thing in the way uv a raannyfact'ry o' mount'n dew that ever you seed. One maw nin' we dumb the mount'n with our guns as tho' wc wus huntin' an'I posted Bill at the edge o5 the flat to watch while I went to run off some doublin's. I wus as busy as a bee fy a tar bukit, an' wus smackin'my lips over the fine quality o' the truck what wus runnin' foin the wurrum, - when I hearn a whoop an' turnin'^my head I seed Bud a-comin' full tilt to wards me. wavin' his hat an' yellin' somp'n chat I couldn't understand be ca'sethe wind wus agin me. I tuck the hint tho', an' as Bud dodged into a thicket 'bout a quarter uv a mile away, I hearn a gun go 'pow,' an' in h'a'f a minit ther' wus a doz'n heads poppin' np over the edge o' the flat an' I knowed that the revenues had stol'd a march on us. "I didn't have time to git nowhar, but I lef ' the still so that ef they cotch me they couldn't prove nothin', an' I skunt along down the yan ?ide o' the mount'n till I come to where an' ol' stoopin' ches'nut growed out'n the edge o' the cliff an' struck right straight,'bout forty foot over the bluff. Hit wus in full leaf an' I jes' crope ont on the tree tell I wus 'bout thirty toft f'om the edge an' puffeely hid in the thick leave.;. I chanced to look E LINCOLN. e "Wileri Chased by the Officers. Journal. down an' I could sec that I wus fur 'bove tho tree tops in the valley down below, but the lim's wus thick an' stout an' ther' wan't no trouble in hol'in' on. "I could hear them revenue officers as they were prowlin' 'roun' on the flat top o' the mount'n, an' a'terwhile I hearn one fetch a whoop nigh the place where the still was hid, an' I kcowed they'd found it. In a few minits they'd all gethered 'roun' the spot an' I could hear 'em talkin' an' laughin' while they sampled the fresh co'n licker an' a'ter while I hearn 'em bustin' up the still that we'd spent so much time OTT, an' hit made me grind my teeth. A3 I didn't hear nothii' mo' uv Bud I concluded that he'd got away, an' I made up my min' that I'd set right thar on that lim' tell they come a'ter me 'fore I'd take any chances. "A'ter they'd broke up the still they 'gun to B'arch 'roun' fur me an' Bud, an' they walked right up to thc root o' that 'ere ches'aut an' two uv e'm popped thc'rselves down on it fer a consultation. Ther' wus a whole lot o' dry leaves in the cracks o' the rocks nigh the plaee an' one uv 'em struck a match an' lit a cigar, an' then stuck the match to the leaves. They sot thar an' talked a few minits an' then they got up an' sa'ntered off down the path 'long the edge o' the bluff. "I'd bin layin' lowan' didn't sca'ce ly ketch my breath while they wus thar, but as soon as they got out'n sight I felt so well tickled that I nat' - ly shuk that tree laffin at 'em. They kep1 trampoosin' 'roun' lhar an' hol lerin' to one 'nother till it :gun to git \ late an' I got so tired a crouchin' thar on that lim' like a hungry pant'er that I wus a'mos' ready to drap. The day'd bin br'ilin' hot an' long 'bout 2 \ o'clock hit 'gun to cloud up an' looked like hit might rain. At las' I hearn 'em talkin' to one 'nother nigh thc slope o' the mom.t'n an' I knowed they wus givin' up the drive, so I riz up an' sorter crope back to'ards the root o' the tree where I wouldn't be so cramped up. , "I got 'bout twenty foot f'om the root o' the tree an' I noticed that the dry leaves had sot an ol' rotten stumr? ? afire in a crevice o^he rock? .aft*' jes' tien I hearn. & ^?l^?"' that like to made me 4rap shore 'nough. A mon st'ottgrfeig ol' rattlesnake'd bin routed out'en his den by the fier, an' he had crawled out; on the log an' camped 'twix' me an' the bluff. Great Lawd! I had to ketch hold uv a lim' to keep f'om tumblin' off heels over head into the valley below. He was coiled up thar in a pile 'bout as big as a ha'f bushel measnre, an' he had his head stuck up an' looked as mad as a hor net. "Ye kin jes' magine how I felt. The wind wus ri sin' an' the clouds comin' up like they allers does in them mount*ns, an' I seed that hit wus likely to be a storm. But I crope back as far as I could {'om that 'ere snake and ketched holt uv a big lim' and clung on for dear life. Every move I'd make that durned snake'd jar his rattles an' they sounded like there wus a dozen rattlesnakes all :roun" me. The col' sweat busted out all over me an' I wus never so skeered in all my bo'ned days. "Thc wind kep' risin' an' a'ter while the thunder gun to crash an' I seed that I was in fer it. The ol' tree rocked an' tossed like it would blow way every minit, an' I had to cling on with both my han's to geep f 'om fallin'. Hit kindled the tier in that ol' stump an' stidder that snake gwiue back to his hole, he crawled out a few feet further on the log to git way f'om the blaze. I wus gittin' desput, an' I run my han' in my pocket to git my knife. I thought I'd manage to cut off one o' the smaller Hm s an' git out'n ray misfortinit perdickyment. But I wus so nervous that the fust rake I made with my knife hit shot upon my han' an' the pain caused me to sling hit loose, an' 1 heard hit strike the rocks 'way down below. "The wind had riz till hit wus hlowin' a harrikin, an' hit wus all I could do to keep my perch. The clouds wus so thick that 1 could hard ly see thc wall o' thc cliff, an' when hit gun to rain, hit seemed to me like a rale waterspout'd struck the place where I sot clingin' to thc bendin' lim' o' that ol' chestnut. Back'ards an' for'ards an' up an' down that ol' tree swung, ai' I growed so dizzy an' sick at my stummick that 1 thought I'd faint, bit I kniwed hit wouldn't do to gin up to my feelin's fer if I did it'd be all night Isoni wi' me. "Seein's thc rain had sorter put out the lier I made a ventur' to git back to the root of the tree as hit wa? comin' night an' I jes knowed I eouldn t stay in that ere tree all ni^ht wet an' tired out as I wus. But the snake had just crawled back to the root o' thc tree an' findin' his wholt too hot to ?. iu, he eamped agin in a ero? i ce rigkt at tke foot o' thc tree. When I got in 'bout ten foot o' him he sung out so savio} ly that I stepped right back apiacc ? crounched down shiverin' in ev< lim'. The wind had gone down a ] tlc, but the rain wus still a-peltin' ; I had ter squat thar on that log i take the last drap uv it. "Well, sir, I cussed the revenue i ricers fer everything I could think 1 I cussed that 'ere snake, I cussed B Braswell fer runnin' off an* leav: me, an' I cussed myself fer bein [ 'tarnal fool fer tryin' to beat the gc 'ment. At lat' I got so desput thet 'gun ?fr holler fer he'p. I didi know but what maybe them 'ere f< lers had camped on the mount'n si fer the hight an' maybe they'd he me an' come an' git mc out'n t scrape. I wus puffeckly willin' to g up, as I dreaded thet 'ere snake wus I'd a dreaded a ridgement uv reven men er two years in jail. "But nobody didn't come an' I s thar anr shtick an' shivered an' shi ered an' shuck tell the rain slacked a the stars come out, an' I could see tl lights in the cabins 'way down in tl bottoms, an' I oould hear the bayi of thehoun's in the woods fer off, tr nobody didn't come nigh 'nough diskiver my roost. I wus so nit peteredtout that I 'gun to feel nui an' drowsy, an' then I got skeen agin, 'ca'se I knowed that ef I dra; ped off ter sleep I'd loose my holt a durnation'd be my po'tion ef 1 fe down on them rocks thet I could je see glisteoin' in the starlight. "To keep f om goin' ter sleep I gi up an' 'gun to stomp n?y feet up a down like a feller trompin' hides in tan vat, an' kep' thet up I dunno ho long.

Manyi histories of the conflict have been so j bitterly partisan as to spoil their value j as a serious review of a ?neat subject. j .'The battle of Franklin (Tenn.), November. 1804," is described and studied by Jacob 1). Cox, late Major General, commanding Twenty-thirl Army Corps. The book is published by the Scribners and contains many maps of the territory in question. General Cox states that he promised to write the story of the battle, upon which his friends insisted, if he should live to sec the completion of the great work undertaken by the Government in printing the "Official llecords of the Union and Confederate Armies." As the last volumes of the principal series of those records are passing through the press, General Cox re deems hts promise. The situation of thc forces of the Union and Confederacy in the fall of 1864 was this : Grant was watching Lee in Virginia. Sherman was at At lanta with a large army, and Hood's forces were in camp in Northern Geor gia. It appears that it was Hood's idea to turn Sherman's position by a somewhat wide detour to the west of Atlanta, and to carry the war again into Northern Georgia, or even into Tennessee. Sherman decided to con centrate his own forces ,f Atlanta, and to send an army under the com mand of Thomas in pursuit of Hood. General Cox is very complimentary to Hood. He remarks upon his mili tary ability and energy of character. The author says : "The effective force under General Thomas, in Middle and Southern Tennessee, was 65,000. offi cers and men 'present for duty, equip ped,' which was the official phrase in dicating complete readiness for active service. The aggregate present was some 20,000 more. These figures do not include the troops in Schofield's department of the Ohio in East Ten- ? nessee and Kentucky, nor those of the military division between the Tennes see and Mississippi Eivers, all of which were subject to Thomas' orders. Hood's army in the field numbered 42,000 or 43,000 men o^Jg^?wf*8^ ' had- been verj^Ljj^l^Ssitimated by Genera?j^fman. T^4??3 early as October 29, Sherman, in promising to send Schofield back, had urged Thomas 'to break up all minor posts and get about Columbia as big an army as you can, and go at him.' Again, two days later, he reit erated: 'You must unite all your men into one army, and abandon all minor points, if you expect to defeat Hood/" General Cox's purpose in writing his book was principally to controvert many statements and misstatments of some of his colleagues in the Union Army. He has designed his book as a military study. He reviews, in separate chapters, the work of the va rious divisions of the armies. Here is the description of the Confederate attack which the author quotes from a speech of General George W. Gordon at tHfe* unveiling of a statute to Gen eral Cleburne. General Gordon was captured by the Union Army in this engagement : "As the array," said General Gor don, "with a front of two miles or more in length, moved steadily down the heights and into the valley below with flying banners, beating drums and bristling guns, it presented a scene of the most imposing grandeur and magnificence. When we had ar rived within about 400 paces of the enemy's advanced line of intrench mcnts our columns were halted and deployed into two lines of battle pre paratory to the charge. This .advanc ed position of thc enemy was not a continuous, but a detached line, manned by two brigades and situated about 600 paces in front of his main line of formidable works, and was im mediately in front of Cleburn's left and Cheatham's right. When all was ready the charge was ordered. With a wild shout, we dashed forward upon this line. The enemy delivered one volley a: our rushing ranks, and pre cipitately fled for refuge to his main and rear line. The shout was raised, ;<!o into the works with them.' This cry was taken up and vociferated from a thousand throats as we rushed on after the Hying forces we had routed -killing some in our running lire, and capturing others who were slow of ftot -sustaining hut small losses our selves, until we arrived within about LOU paces of their main line and stronghold, when it seemed to me that hell itself had exploded in our faces. The enemy had thus long reserved their lire for the safety of their routed comrades who were Hying to them for protection, and who were just in front of and mingled with the pursuing Confederates. Wheu it became no longer safe for themselves to reserve their lire, they opened upon us (re gardless of their own men who were mingled with us) such a hailstorm of shot aud shell, musketry and canister that the very atmosphere WUK hideous witli the shriek* of the messengers of death. Thc booming of cannon, the bursting of bombi, the rattle of mus ketry, the shrieking of shells, the whizzing of bullets, thc shouting of hosts and the falling of their men in their struggle for victory, all made scene of surpassing terror and awft grandeur." It was in the center of this .storm ( war that Cleburne appeared. G euer; Grordou continued : "Amid this scene General Clcburn came charging down our line to th left, and diagonally toward the em my's works, his horse running at fu speed, and if I had not personall checked my pace as I ran on foot h would have plunged over and trample me to the earth. Oo he dashed, bi for an instant longer, when rider an horse both fell, pierced with man bullets, within a few paces of the em my's works." To surrender was the fate of thos brave Confederates. Meanwhile th battle was raging around them. General Cox remarks : "Hood bot with patience the penalty of failur< but justice requires the clear acknow! edgemont that his faith in the attac has been, and perhaps still is, th prevalent military creed in Continet tal Europe. His tactics of assault i deployed line with supports are no far from approved methods, suppose to be developed by late wars. 1 would be hard to match in dash an perseverance the veteran Confcderat battalions of 1864 ; it would be impof sible to surpass the leadership-of th officers who headed thc charges upo the field." The author states that "Hood ha more men killed at Franklin than die on one side in some of the greates conflicts of the war, where three, foui or even five times as many men wer engaged. His killed were more tba Grant's at Shiloh, McClellan's in th Seven Days' Battle, Burnside's a Fredericksburg, Kosecran's at Ston Biver or at Chicamauga, Hooker's a Chancellorsville, and almost as man as Grant's at Cold Harbor." From the records now published b the Government, General Cox claim that Schofield's army numbered 29 234, while Hood's force was two c three hundred less than 24,000.-?
