man's Stay in 2
Dr. li. J. Maisey in
On Sunday, November 20, KSiii, a '
. jquad of Howard's scouts were the
t arst of Sherman's army to enter Mil
ledgoville. In coining into Dixie they
had found the capitals of the States |
through which they had passed cities j
' of some size and pretensions. And
as Georgia had for years been known
us the IC ui pi re State of the South, j
these men expected to lind a uiuch '
larger place than thc town proved to
bo.
They were by no means Blow in
showing th?'ir disappointment, or even
disgust, al Milledgcvillc's size, appear
? ance and pr?tentions. If lhere he anj
. jf thc people of thc good old town who ,
..vere there at thc time, I am sure that
. they have not forgotten the lively ;
' limes we passed through that cold j
wintry, rainy, dreary November Suu
. lay afternoon, ami probably autoog
. other things they still remember the
i ringing cry of "? ye Millcdgcvillians,"
. as it came from hundreds of yankee
. 3oldierH' throat?, especially cmphasiz
' '.og the laBt?twc syllables, to inako tho
""villiana".as,prci:ouucod as possible.
.And if i fchere dill liveH anyone who
?-was ou the -ctreot that evening, ho
willromo?ijor oldman Vail's watch.
;IIe was?c-nioeold gentleman, a mcr
? chant.cT? tao town. A soldier espied
ihis>hsa>7 jsold watch chain, walked
'Uplchh?L" and asked tho time of day.
*&D thx.?watch was pulled out to look
<s'c, the-aoldicr took hold of it, asking
? the oki man "the prioo of it in tho
? jurronoy of Dixio." "Five thousand
? dollars for it and tho chain," waB the
answer. "Thank you, sir ; it is not
.often a man down in Dixio meets with
jguch a valuable prcseut," says tho
yank, at tho same time putting tho
watch in his pocket, mounting his
horse and riding away to leave old
iman Vail to count tho cost of his in
discr?tion.
Farther down tho street at the same
'time of the watoh transaction, four or
'five bummers had taken a girl of some
.seventeen summers, and . demanded of
her a purse of gold belonging to her
father, she was believed to have se
creted on her person. Not having it,
of course she could not give it up.
'These soldiers, deaf alike to tho ear
nest entreaties of bystanders and the
piteous cries of tho poor viotim, leis
urely then, in open daylight, before a
?molloy crowd of blaoks and whites,
(removed hoi clothing piece by piece.
?Finding no gold,,at last, they left
her in a state of nudity with an oath
-and insulting remarks, lo be cared for
oy faithful negro oook and twoor^hree
^sympathizing ladies who carno to her
TOSOUO, carried her to a neighboring
. room and administered to her wants.
It is Uue that tho father did have a
,-purse of ..gold, but before leaving the
?town be had been wise enough to se
vere te il in a place of safety, where he
iound it still untouched upon his re
turn after Sherman had left.
What Sherman and his men did in
.Morgan, Putnam, Jasper and Newton,
bofoio getting to MilledgevUie, I let
?one of his men tell. "Suoli little
'freaks as taking tho labt chicken, tho
'?last pound of meat, the last bit of ba- j
?con and the only remaining scraggy
cow, from a poor woman and her flock
?of ohildren, black or white not con
sidered, came under the order of le
gitimate business. Even crockery,
.bed-coverirjg, or clothes, were fair
spoils. AB for plate, jewelry or
- watches, these were things rebels had
no use for. Men with pockets ple
thoric with silver and gold coin; sol
diers sinking under tho weight of
plate and ?ne beddingimaterials, lean
mules and hornes, with the riohest
trappings of Brussels carpets and
?hahgiugs of ?fine chenille ; negro
-weiiehes, particularly good-looking
-ones, dcoked in satin aod silks, and
?sporting diamond ornaments ; officers
?with sparkling rings, that would set
Tiffany in raptures-gave color to the
?stories of hanging up or fleshing an
""old cuss"' to make him shell out.
A planter's house was overrun in a
?iffy; boxes, drawers and escritoires
were ransacked with a laudable zeal,
and emptied of their contents. If the
.?poils were ample, the depredators
?rere satisfied, and went off in peace ;
if not, everything was torn and de
stroyed,, and most likely the owner was
tickled with sharp bayonets into a
. confeopiou where he had his treasures
hid. Sorghum barrels were knocked
open, beehives rifled, with their angry
swarms rushing fsantioally about. In
deed, I have seen a soldier knock a
planter down because a bee stung
him. Should the house be deserted,
the furniture is smashed in pieces,
music is pounded out of $400 pianos
with ends of muskets. ' Mirrors were
wonderfully multiplied, and rich cush
ions and carpe ts carried off to adorn
icarus and war steeds. After all was
' olearc? out, most likely some set of
^stragglers wanted to enjoy a good uro,

and all the surroundings, in a hla/.o.
But that was 40 years ago. Let us
draw thc veil and look at some of the
funny things that happened at the
Hame time.
One of tho choicest hon mots I ever ]
had thc pleasure of hearing occurred
between two Methodist preachers.
Kev. Fullwood was the stationed
preacher acceptably (Hiing thc church
;il Millcdgcvillc, winn ,i Northern
brother of the same faith and order
was chaplain to one ol' Sherman's
regiments. Fullwood found him and
extended thc hospitalities of his homo
to him. One cveuiug at ?Upper this
man soys: "BrotherFullwood, I vi.-i
ted your penitentiary today ; the main
entrance being stopped. I lound a
hob' in the wall low flown near the
ground, and stooping down through it,
I gained entrance. I feel that I have
wrenched my back a little. I think I
htoopod lower than I ever did in all
my life, etc."
"My good brother," said Fullwood,
"if you belong to Sherman's army and
arc chaplain lo such men as I have
found among thom and stooped lower
today than you ever did before, I
don't wonder at your lauding in thc
Georgia penitentiary." The good
brother saw tho point of the joke and
enjoyed the reparteo as much as any
orj present.
During tho war among other make
shifts, our people learned to manufac
turo a fair whiskey out of sweet pota
toes and sorghum cane. It was fouud
that by putting a due quantity of the
red hawberries, thc flavor was mate
rially improved. It so happened that
I had two or three demijohns of such
mixture on hand. When thc bummers
came iu they set to work at once to
carry off my whisky. Fortunately
some of the berries flowed out with
tho very first pouring of tho whiskey.
As tho yankoo soldier was always on
tho alert looking for poison whilst
"marohiug through Georgia," not an
other drop of my whiskey was touch
ed. Nothing could convince them to
the oontrary, but that I had uhurged
tho whiskey with a poisonous berry
for tho purpose of killing the yankee
soldiers. In fact, I did not exert my
self v y much to disabuse their
minds ; thoy scrupulously left italonc,
although they took everything else in
Bight or out of sight.
Io ono of tho regiments there was a
company of greon Germans, whom
both thc Northern and Georgia people
called "Dutchmen." Io fact, they
were known as tho "Dutch brigade."
In tho pillaging of tho town it seems
that this "Dutoh brigade" was as
signed for duty at Brown hospital.
After taking all tho butter, chickens,
eggs, sugar and other stores in the
house, their attention was directed to
a ooop of Sis 'possums I had collected
in the.baok yard for tho purpose of
having an improvised Thanksgiving of
Georgia "'possum and tater" for the
assistants, nurses and such convales
cents that could stand food so rioh.
They delegated ono to open tho door.
Nono of the "Dutch brigade" ever saw
a 'possum before As soon as the
door was partially opened these "var
mints' ' began to run out right under
the feet of tho Dutoh brigade. All
Georgians know how easily and noise
lessly . "wiggling 'possum" runs.
Seeing no feet to thoso hairy, woolly
things, uothiug discernable but eyes
and a hairless tail, a perfect panic
seized the Dutch brigade, who began
to ruo to thc nearest point of exit to
the street, the animals close in the
rear. Commotion and confusion was
greatly heightened by tho cry from
the "Dutoh" of "Mein Got in Heim
el, vot ish dot ? O Mein Got, vot i sh
dot? Ein lectio tyful, swein lcetlc
tyful," thus they kopt on increasing
in tho number of "leetle ty fuis" until
it reached "sex leetle tyfuls." (Six
little devils, the. number of 'possums
that I had in the coop.) This kept
up until not a 'possum or member of
tho Dutoh brigade oould be found. It
is said that no such "skeedaddling"
over happorJcd since the first battle of
Mauassas" The Dutoh brigade led
the six 'possums and "they stood not
upon the order of thoir going.

'Editors Intelligencer: In these
days of wars and rumors of wars, it is
interesting to renew the history of the
army and navy of King Xerxes 1st, of
Persia, which were greater than were
ever assembled in ancient times, or
perhaps at any known opooh of his
tory. After four years cf preparation |
this vast army was gathered in from
all over the empire of Persia and as
sembled at Sard.is (during the year 481
B. C.) for the purpose Cf invading
Greece.
Aeoording to Herodotus this army
at this date numbered 2,500,000 fight
ing men, and it took seven days and

lu his mareil of oornjucst tbrough the
territory from tho Ilellispoct to Ther

until ft now numbered near 6,000,
000, including csmp followers. At
this point the i JIT. of this famous
campaigu hud been reached, and at
the naval battle at Halamid (Sept. 180
I?. C.,) and the check by army of
Leonidas about the same time Xerxes
wai confounded at tho unexpected and
inglorious result* of all his mighty
preparations for the overwhelm
ing of (j recce. The hands of
the dod of wars were turned against
this vail: glorious, cruel, licentious
potentate, and for his own personal
safety he took an escort of ?'0,000 men
and H id with all h?ste to Hellespont,'
leaving Mandamus in charge of tho
remainder of this army, who met de
feat by ibo Greeks at L'iataca, (in
IT?j and on the same day at Mycah;,
iu Iona. During tho next year ? ITS?
the KT ians lost their last possessions
in Europe by the capture of Sestos on
the Hellespont, and in 405 Ii. C.
\ ?rxes was murdered by Arlau&n":j,
who aspired to the throne. Thus
ended the career of the man at the
head of tho largest army and navy
known in history, who waged this
war, not for grievance or breach of
courtesies or treaties among nations of
that date, but it is said he did it for self
aggrandizement. The mural written
hr.rc is that victory does not always
rest with the largest army, but tho
brains at the head of thu army, and
nerve of tho rank and file that is sup
ported and backed up by a righteous
cause.
Is this war of the Russian-Japanese
analagous with this Persian and
Greek ? Will Russia overpower Ja
pan or will little Japan finally rout
lluaia'u great army as did little Greece
rout the vast army of the Persians.

Editors Intelligencer: Looking baok
through tho vista of years we see Rob
ert E. Loo just about 39 years ago,
with un army of about ?0.000 men in
the wilderness of Virginia. This army
was composed of Southern veterans,
who had for over three years defended
tho approach of the U. S. army, who
had time and again and by various
ways, attempted to capture the Capi
tol of the Confederacy, and always
outnumbering thc Confederates from
ono and one-half to three. No better
equipped or well fed army had ever
been known than the ono commanded
by Grant in 1864,whioh confronted Lee
with his 50,000 old soldiers, half fed,
badly clothed and half shod, knowing
that they were defending the Capitol
of their country from tho attack of
Grant with his 125,000 men, who had
all that a rich government could be
stow. This army met Lee with his
handfull of men in the Wilderness in
May, 1864, and after the hardest of
fighting failed to push that grand old
Hero with his veterans, and were
fin all j compelled to make a flank
movement, again attempting to make
Richmond by way of Gaines' Mill.
Here one of the bloodiest charges ever
known was made by Grant and met by
Leo with the same result. Grant,
after several days of waiting, and
seeing ho could do nothing with those
grand old heroes, crossed the James
river at night and made another at
tempt to get Riohmond by way of Pe
tersburg. Hero Beauregard, with a
part of thu?, army, hardly enough to
be called an army, met Grant, and
with his small command hold Grant
until late in tho afternoon, when
Grant had pushed Beauregard baok to
within two miles of Petersburg, when
a part of Lee's army arriving, checked
Grant's further movements. There
Grant spent the summer and winter of
1864, unable to push Lee baok, until
March, 1865, whon Grant, with an
overwhelming force, attacked and
compelled Leo to retire boforo suoh
immense odds, and made his way
(with a remnant of what was onoe the
army of Northern Virginia) towards
Danville, but on roaching Appomat
tox wu3 completely surrounded, and
thero surrendered a few thousand of
thoso provo old veterans to Grant with
about 150,000 or 175,000 men. Thus
ended the government which had ex
isted for four years and whose name
(The Confederacy) will never die with
(he descendants of those who fought
for it. G.

United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis in the class of 1881. ile
came in under thc provision which
allows the president to tender the

that Reina Barrios, tho most famous
('entrai American soldier, was a West

Admiral Uriu, whose name, by the
way, is not Uric, ar, given in thc press
dispatches, uotonly was graduated at
Annapolis, but even in a class of
American boys stood well up, and
was graduated aa 14 in a class of 7G.
He was converted to Christianity,
and is still an active Christian, as is his
wife, who, aB a young Japanese girl,
attended \'assar. A navy officer who
was a classmate of Uria*s told this
evening many stories of the now
world-renowned sailor, and mentioned
particularly that he hid excelled in
gunnery and the marksmanship and
handling of big guns. There were
two other Japanese in this same olass,
one of whom was the late Admiral
Sarata, who became distinguished at
thc battle of the Yalu in the Japanese
Chinese war. Admiral Uriu ia about
forty years old. His classmates in

Tho credit for tho viotory at Port
Arthur belongs in Rear Admiral Soto
kichi, the intrepid little Japanese
who was in command of the attackiog
ships. He acquired his knowledge
in this country, where he attended
thc naval aoademy at Annapolis,
and graduated in the class of 1881.
He ranked twenty-sixth in a olass of
76, whioh is considered a remarkable
achievement by naval officers here in
Washington. Instructor S. H. Linard,
of the navy, who was in the olass
with the Japanese admiral, says he
showed great aptitude while attending
tho naval academy in this oountry.

one of the agricultural districts. The
farmer said he wouldn't vote for
the bill. Then the lobbyist offered

was about to explode until the lobby
ist told him the other side was spend

the bill than he was to pass it, and
asked the farmer to investigate.
"He did investigate, and oame

confirmed the report.
" 'What oan I do ?' he asked the
lobbyist. 'I shall not take sides on
this measure at all.'
" 'Well.' said the lobbyist, 'you
might Btay away when the vote is
taken. That will let you out.'
tl,vhe farmer stayed away and the
bill was passed. That afternoon the
lobbyist met him and handed him $500.

It is found necessary to remove it
occasionally, but it is always carefully

Accordingly he waited upon Mr.
Jones, who, in addition to thc preces

The pastor expressed his deep re

not mean anything by it, and hoped
Mr. Jones would not feel hurt. He
was somewhat relieved when, with

"Oh, bless you, don't mind that at

It was a balmy spring afternoon.
