WHEELER'! Fought in 1 battle* Atlanta . It is much tobe regretted that Gen. Joseph Wheeler was unable to attend our battlefields reunion, for his dis tinguished services as a wearer of the gray and later as a wearer of thc blue, exemplifies thc very essence of the sentiment sought to bo eomtnoiuo raated. Since, however, he i.s preven ted from being present by what has ever been the guiding -tar of Iiis life, viz.: his devotion t<> what he consid ers his duty, it has occurred to me that some account of the connection ol' Wheeler and his cavalry with thc battles in and around Atlanta would not he without interest to your . read ers. In my last conversation with "Marsc ?Joe" 1 asked him if thc best work of his career was not done in defense ol' Atlanta. His reply was: "Yes, with thc possible exception of the destruction of Rosecrans' wag on trains during thc battle of Mur frcesboro." Certain it is that no harder lighting was done by the infantry than by thc cavalry, dismounted in the trenches around our city, and no cavalry ex ploit of thc war surpassed the destruc tion by Wheeler and his men of the gigantic raids scot out by Sherman to destroy Hood's communications. Judged by the indirect as well as the direct results, probably no cavalry achievement of the war equalled this in importance. To give anything like a detailed ac count of the fighting of Wheeler's cavalry in the Atlanta campaign would make my article too long. I would therefore only say in passing that this command, having covered the Confederate rear in thc entire re treat from Halton, were driven across Peachtree creek July 17, 1804. In the meantime General McPherson was marching from Roswell to strike the Georgia railroad at Decatur. Wheeler retarded this movement to thc extent of his ability, and heavy lighting en sued until dark on thc 18th. On the Pith McPherson reached Decatur, where he was confronted by Wheeler, who had constructed several lines of breastworks. On the 20th and 21st McPherson made several formidable charges on the part of the lino held by Wheeler's command. Although theso men were outnumbered fully ten to one, the enemy was repulsed at every point during the first charges, but finally our right gave w^y. Seeing this Wheeler rallied his men, charged the Federals, who were already in our fortifications, re-established his line and captured about 30 prisoners. In these engagement the enemy admitted a IOSB of 800. On the night of the 21st General Wheeler moved around the enemy's left flank, and attacked a division of infantry occupying the town of Deca tur in strong fortifications. The fight here was a severe one, lasting about two hours, and resulted in the rout of the enemy and the capture of sev eral hundred prisoners. Their camp, one section of artillery, their stores, hospitals, wagon train, etc., fell into our hands. At 11.30 July 23rd, Whoolor .J ceived notice of a raid by General Garrard in an easterly direction. In ten minutes his column was in mo tion, and by midnight had travelled forty miles, only to learn that the raiders had returned to the ni?in body of their army. Wheeler promptly re turned to his position ia the breast works, and continued heavy skirmish ing until the 27th. Probably some of the contemporary newspaper accounts of these engage ments would not be uninteresting. A correspondent signing himself as "F. C. DeF." writc? as follows: "While the fight I have recorded was in progress on the left, Wheeler's Cavalry successfully held the enemy's infantry in check on our right. With a few small brigades he contested the ground with two corps (Dodge's and Logan's) and after twelve or fourteen hours' hard fighting had prevented them from [obtaining any advantage. .' Cannonading has been constant along the lines all day." "Harlee and Wheeler, sweeping silently around the Federal, left, pounced upon their flank and pressed so steadily as to bear down all opposi tion. Whole batteries with horses and equipments fell into our posses sion; fortifications with frowning abat tis of sharpened pikes were crossed in the teeth of murderous fire, while in dividual gallantry was conspicuous in the capture of flags and prisoners. / Wheeler with his cavalry, co-operating with Hardee, performed deeds of val or that have removed overy prejudice which - unjustly has attached to theil past career.

'.General Wheeler last evening at tacked thc enemy's left in thc neigh borhood of Decatur and drove them hack, capturing 500 wagons with sup plies, and a large number of prisoners. He is still pursuing them." On the 27th of duly General Sher man made his last great effort to use his cavalry to destroy General Hood's communications, hy sending '?ut three grand raid.- under Stoneuian, Garrard and McCook. These numbered nine ty-six hundred ?'?eked men, splendidly armed, mounted and equipped. As we have iu.-t shown, Wheeler's caval ry had been for many days tied down in thc trenches lighting as infantry Sherman's immense hordes. In the meantime our horses had been subsist ing on forage hardly sufheient to sus tain life. Notwithstanding this, with, thirty-nine hundred men, he started in hot pursuit of thc raiders. By daylight the following morning he had got ahead of the enemy and driven the advance of Garrard's division, which was marching for Jonesboro, across Flat creek. He (Garrard) finding him self so strongly opposed retreated rap idly toward the left of the enemy's main army. Wheeler pursued him a few miles, captured a few horses and arms, and caused him to abandon sev eral of his wagonB. About this time it was learned that General Stoneman, with 2,000 men, had moved carly in the morning in thc direction of Macon. Wheeler ordered General Iverson with his own, Gen eral Allen's and Colonel Breckin ridge's brigades, to follow Stoneman rapidly, and attack him wherever found. While this order was being executed General Wheeler received in formation that tho large cavalry force, under General McCook (numbering over 3,000) had crossed the Chatta hoochee nenr Campbleton and was making its way toward thc Central railroad. He ordered Ashby's brig ade, under General Humes, which was then on thc march to join him, to move rapidly to Jonesboro and ordered General Kelley to remain and hold Garrard's division in check with Dib rell's brigade, and to send Anderson's brigade after him (Wheeler) on the Jonesboro road. On roaching Jones boro it was learned that General Mo Cook had struck tho railroad five miles below that place. Moving rapidly, Wheeler overtook the enemy at dark, who rapidly retreated in a westerly direction toward Fayetteville. At midnight Wheeler reached and passed through Fayettsville. Pressing for ward with Hume's division, only about ?00 strong (Anderson's brigade being still nearly 20 miles behind) Wheeler encountered the enemy at Line creek, the bridge over whioh had I been destroyed and barricades erected on the opposite side. Taking advantage of a bend in the creek whioh enabled Wheeler to take a position whioh enfilated their barri cades, the enemy was driven from their position, the bridge repaired and our troops passed over. The darkness of tho night was intense, but our men continued the pursuit, often encoun tering barrioades, the first intimation of their presence be;ng a volley from the enemy. As d dawned, we came upon the enemy's lino of battle. Wheeler formed two mounted columns i'or attack, and sending one around to aitaok the flank, he led tho other in a most galiant charge upon the centre, breaking through the lines and driv ing them in utter rout from the field, capturing over three hundred prison ers, their arms, horses and equip* rn en ts. At 12 o'olook, within two miles ol Newnan, Wheeler overtook McCook's rear, and after marching a short dis tance encountered the enemy forming linc of battle in his front with twen ty-five hundred men. Although Wheeler had with him not over sis hundred (tho rest of his command not being able to keep up with tho rapi? march) he decided to charge at onoe. One of his brigade commanders pro tested, and begged for God's sake, t< wait until more of tho men had oaughi up. The nervous "fighting Joe" re I plied, "there is not a moment to lose form your men ci uuco." And D??U I ing Ashby with two hundred mei down on the LaGrange road to heat off McCook, should he endeavor to rc treat, with the remnant, Wheele hurled himself upon the enemy wit1 an impetuosity which nothing coul withstand. McCook's column wa , thrown into confusion and later th ; route whioh ensued was never sui - passed except at the first battle o ) Manassas. In forty minutes we ha r killed and wounded over two hundred , and captured over three hundred prie i oners, including two of McCook' 1 brigade commanders. We had als - captured sis hundred horses an I three stands of colors. Many yest aftor the war the writer asked Gen- | eral Wheeler if he did not win this \ battle by sheer audacity. Smilingly [ the old hero replied/"Yes, I reckon I did." To give further details of this en-j gageaient would make my story too j long. McCook's magnificent com- ! mand had been destroyed, and though ' several hundred escaped, it was only \ owing to the fact that our men and horses were too exhausted to pursue, j Colonel brownlow, commanding brig- I adc, made his way to Marietta, and j telegraphed General Sherman that he j hau arrived, dismounted and bare footed, with live hundred men-all, he thought, of General McCook's three thousand which had escaped. The force sent after General Stone man had been equally successful, having encountered him sonic twenty miles from Macon, captured him, with 500 of his command, and dispersed the balance. Of Stoneman's troops not captured with him, as many more were picked up by a part of Brcckin ridge's brigade, which was sent in pursuit. Sherman telegraphed to Ilallcek that of Stoneman's 2,000only 500 had come in, and he presumed the balauce were killed or captured. Thc net results of these operations of Wheeler and his cavalry wer3 the delivery of thirty-two hundred pris oners to thc Confederate authorities, as shown by the official records, and the killing and wounding of half as many more, making the loss to the union army of nearly five thousand men. The object of these raids was not only thc destruction of Hood's com munications, but the liberation of the thirty thousand prisoners confined at Andersonville, for which General Sherman had sufficient arms and am munition in his immense supply trains. Had these results been ac complished, the campaign, if not the war, would have ended in Atlanta in 18G4. (PRIVATE) W. C. DODSON. Taking; the Census. "This census business is all right when it is all over and done with, and we look with pride at the figures show ing thc wonderful increase of our great and glorious republic," said Major Bowen, of Kentucky; "but I had a job of enumerating in my State and thc 2J cents a name I got isn't a drop in the bucket to tho amount of trouble 1 experienced in getting the ignorant and timid colored people to answer my questions. They had all sort of queer notions about what the census was, some for drafting men into thc army and some thinking they were to bo put into the slavery again. Many could not be made to answer until they were concerned and com pelled to do so, and some gave very queer ??Kwers, indeed. "' Were you born in Kentucky?"' ? asked one colored woman. "'No, sah,' she answered readily enough. 'I wnz bawn in Louisville.' " 'Can you read?' " 'Oh, yes sah.' "Write?" " 'Yes, sah.' " 'Do you speak English?' "The question staggered her much to my surprise and I repeated it more for the fun than anything else. " 'No, sah,' sho hesitated. 'I reokon I doan' know dat, sah.' "Another woman read the names of her children from the family Bible. " 'Annie; born April 15, 1895," she said, and I put it down. " 'Johnnie; horn April 15, 1895,' she read again. * " 'Hold on,' said 1. 'That can't be. You've got them on the same day.' " 'Well, i reckon dat's right, boss,' she explained, 'deys twin's.'

General Shaw, Grand Army of the Republic commander, did not mean to wound the feelings of ex-Confederates and no doubt, as he said, got some of his inspiration from General Gordon's lectures at the north, which he pre sumably and unintentionally misin terpreted. We have sometimes thought that General Gordon, in those lec tures, was occasionally too flamboy ant, too dramatic and too gushing; but these were incidental bits of stage-play allowed public speakers in "the enemy's country." He did not apologize for his southern country, the Confederacy and the cause of the .South, but defended the heroes of the Confederacy, civic and military, with eloquence and enthusiasm. General Shaw probably chose such portions of General Gordon's lectures as suited his purpose and did not reflect that the lectures must be taken aa a whole and not in fragments. Talleyrand said he could hang any man by using such language disconnectedly. Gen eral (Jordon, in good temper, put himself where weall know he belongs, and General Shaw accepted the situ ation. The fact is that the people of the north and south will not, for an in definite period, come together on that question, and they need not attempt to do so. It would be well to avoid it in their gatherings together. Gen eral Garfield once said, in the house of representatives, assailing the south ern members, that there could be no common ground of settlement until "We (of the north) who believe we were eternally right, get you (of the south) to admit that you were eter nally wrong." Well, we of the south will never do that, and you of the north may as well cease your impor tunities in that direction. We of the south believe that our cause was just; and that it was overwhelmed by num beis. That cause was not- the inci dent of slavery, but local self-govern ment and constitutional liberty. Never was that cause more vital than it is to-day. Never was constitution al liberty more seriously menaced by the northern faction controlling the government. Even Senator Hoar ad mits that. If the empire be estab lished Leie or a false system of repub lican government, who will doubt the verdict of history as to the cause of the Confederacy. And it is "the cause, not the fate of the cause, that is glorious." At Antietam, not long ago, a monu ment was erected to tho Blue and the Gray who fell there. In his address, on that occasion, Governor Smith said: "lt is the only instance in the world's history of a singleomonument being erected to those who efought eaoh on the field of battle." In the battle of Antietam, as in many other battles of the Civil war, Airericans not only fought against Americans, but foreigners as well. The ,;Con federate Handbook," of which Col. Robert C. Wood, of Ne.v Orleans, is the author, states that there were 494,000 foreigners in the Union army, not including 186,000 negroes. The seoeding States of the south also sup plied the north with 317,714 soldiers. "The Federal government," declares Col. Wood, "could have placed in the field an army 212,614 superior in num ber to the entire Confederate forces without enlisting a single man from the northern States." The total en rollment of Federal soldiers during the Civil war was 2,778,300, and the number of pensions now on the gov ernment rolls is nearly 1,000,000. These figures ?show the tremendous odds against whioh the south had to contend and the extent to which Europe was a factor in defeating the Confederacy. The north owes a dobt of gratitude to the hundreds cf thous ands of soldiers of all the nations of Europe, who helped "keep the south in the union." The number of for eigners who were killed will probably never be known. The norah, it is esti mated by Col. Wood, lost altogether 359,527 men, who wero either killed in battle or ?died from wounds or dis ease. The losses of the south aggre gated 200,000 men, or one-third of the entire force engaged. General Gordon said at Atlanta.

She was fair of face and-woll, say 25. Her clothes were neat and cool Piuned to the bosom of her shirt waist was one of the large buttons now being distributed by the burea of in formation for thc accommodation of this city during the session of the Democratic national convention. This large button bore thc talismantic words, "Ask me." When she tripped into the car and took a scat thc men stared at her. The women did likewise. Opposite sat a middle-aged woman with her 7 year-old daughter. The child stared at thc large button on the shirt waist, then pointing to it, asked: "What is that, mamma?" "It's very rude to point, -don't you know my dear?" quoth mamma. "Well, what is it?" she again in quired. The young woman heard the inquiry and reprimand and smiled at the per verseness of the child; then, holding out her hands, said, "Come here, little sweetheart, and I'll explain it to you." The child looked at her mother, who nodded assent. She went over and was lifted to a seat in the young woman's lan. "Now I'll tell you all about it. These buttons were designed for the purpose of furnishing information to thc many visitors who will comecto Kansas City next week. If they are seeking a hotel or street or store all they need do is ask the wearer of a button like this. In other words, the wearer of a button like thia will an swer questions asked. Do you un derstand now?" she asked. Thechild nodded her head. "And you are going to answer ques tions?" inquired the child? "Just try me and n?ee," rsp?ied thr young woman. The child fingered the button in sil ence for a few moments, then she sud denly asked. "How old are you?" ?Tm-" "Are you as old as my mama?" per sisted the child. Mama frowned. The young woman smiled. "Are yon married?" was the next question. "No, dear, I am not." "Why don't you get married?" The young woman showed signs of embarrassment. "I expect to-some time," she re plied. A Chinaman came into the car. The child took her eyes off the young woman long enough to see who was the new passenger. "Would you marry that Chinaman?" ? she asked, pointing to where he sat. Mama smiled. The men laughed and the young woman blushed furiously. Putting the child down, she signaled the conductor to stop and she stepped from the car. Before the ear WSB ont of sight she threw that "Ask me" button as far as she could send it. D. W.
