The foarth lecture of • terics on the clvU wer At the Lowell Institute, Bos ton, was delivered some time ago by 4 Col. Theodore A. Dodge, one of the best known men in Boston military circles lie served constantly in the Army of tho Potomac (in every volunteer reg iruental rank up to that of colonel), from the Poniusnla, where he was With Kearney, *thi'ough Pope’s and Burnside’s campaigns, and at Chau cejlorfivilte and Gettysburg. The snl»iect of Col. Dodge’s lecture • was “Cbatioeilorsvilie,’’ and particu larly the great flank movement of Stonewall Jackson which ittrned the tide of war on the memorable second of May, 1862. Col. Dtxlge related in detail the f movements ot the Army of the Pofo- ' mac which led to their assuming posi tion at Chauceilorsville, and gives the , position ot tho two armies when they # confronted each other on the day ot the great battle between Loe and * Hooker. Col. Dodge says: The Army ot the Potomac on Fri day nightl.y huddled in the chappa- rai around Ubeucellorsville, instead of occupy, as they might, a well defined aition on the open ground in front B y a right migti ■ ank’s Ford. Gradually during the night the several corps drifted, weary and disheartened at this unexplained check in the midst of suoocss, into the position which they had taken up atlcr crosslug the river, without any idea of fighting there. The line was thus a haphazard one, on the worst conceiva ble grontid, where cavalry was useless artillery confined to tho roads or tp a few open spaces, and infantry hidden or paralyzed. During this night, while tho Army of Northern Virginia was moving into position In front of its gigantic, but apparently unnerved enemy, I>ce and Jackson developed a plan for an attack upon our right, which, though posted on high ground, was really in the air. Lee may have originated the plan, but it bears a distinctly Jack- souiau flavor; and, aurely, without soch a lieutenant to execute it, Lee would never have dreamed of making such a risky move. The plan gave Jackson about 24,000 men with which to undertake a .march around onr fbt flank to a position where he jhl cut ns off from United States Ford. It was altrahazardou*, for it separated a small arm) in the presence of a large oue. It was jiwti(table only on the ground that Mooter evidently meant to retain the defensive; th*i the ‘ movement would be screened from bis eye by the woods; that there seemed no more available plan, that aome im mediate action was demanded. Mad it failed, It would have met the con- sura ofeverv soldier. No maxim of tactics appi es to it so well as the proverb, “Nothing venture, nothing • gain." Although Jackson’s corps had been on foot and partially eugagad for tome , thirty hours, the men set out on this new march with cheerful alacrity They could always follow "Old Jack" with their eyes shut. Stuart's cavalry masked the advance. Jackson did not know that bis column would have to pass somw ooeu ground in full view of our line at Dowiiali’s until too iato to •have It follow a belter concealed routs. Early baiurday morning tne move ment was dinoovered by the 3d corps, and a reconnoisnaucd was poshed out to emlisrrass its advance. Alter some * trouble ami a slight and sue cessfui attack, Birney ascertained and reported that Jackson was moving over to our right. The eon elusion which Hooker drew from this fact was apparently (hat Lee was re treating. Jackson meanwhile keeping Sickles busy witt\fe small rear guard, advanced along the Brock . road until, toward afternoon, be was abreast and in the rear ol our right fliiik. While be was thus amassing his men to take the Army of the Poto.rac in reverse, Hooker continued to authorize Sickle* to deplete the threatened wing b> sending a largo part of i*s available streugtn (Barlow, Birney, W r bipple and Geary in part—some 15,000 men) out in the woods in the hope of cap turing the force which hod long ago eluded his grasp and was readv to fail upon our rear. Hookers’* rig^.flauk ot barely 10,000 .meii was completely isolated. And >et, though scoflts, S ickets and an actual attack at .30 p. m. proved beyond peradven- Hire, Jackson’s presence at this point, Hooker allowed this flank to be held by an untried corps composed of the most heterogeneous and untrustwor thy elements in the Army of the Poto mac. * This march of Jackson’s might at first blush have beeu construed by Hooker to he either a retreat or strategic march by Lee to new ground or to be a threatened flank attack. Either would have been accompanied by the same tactical symptoms which •ow appeared. If the former, Hooker had his option to attack at an early -or late p< rlod, more or less Tigor»u*lv, as might appear best to him. Hooker aAerward claimed that be believed in ihe flank attack. But the testimony oi his dispatches at the time finds him riding both horses, and lie acted on the retreat theory. At 6:30 a. in. he had notified tllocum and Howard to ibol out and prepare lor a flank attack and to post heavy reserves to meet one. Ht telegraphed Sedgwick at 4:10 p. m., “We knew that the enemy is flying, trying to save the trai js.’’ In the meantime he - bad removed the heavy reserves in quest||u and sent fbetn out on Sickles s wild goose chase i front. He made no inspection it except one early in the mimonding on the right, Aker’s orders And apathy, held to the retreat theory. He had, on the receipt of, the 2:30' order, din- posed Bartow’s brigade and his reserve artiliery so as to resist ah attack a! ug (he pike, bat Barlow had bees ordered by Hooker ^ to join Sickles. Gen. Derent mfflhfreral distinct attempts to impress otmlo ward the danger of an attack, bat the latter took bis color, as well as his outers, from the oom- ■kiiir of the emir, Gen. Oarl Oman. Bader whom I served that day, also bald strongly ta the flank taoory, and soorea of man in -after tko picket fight ^ folly Believed that woo id ho made la the Gemmon generosity to of-Hooker, who wa- a — Mhinorps command- km at the tims he believed that that enemy was re treating. HD neglect of the right Was otherwlss criminal. In him alone centered all the Information of con- stautly occurring chances. To him alone was reported each new circum stance. His subordinates knew bot the partial truth. They relied ou him for the initiative. At 6 p. m., then, the situation was this: The left and centre lay as before. Howard held the right, tbe "key of the position,’’ with 10,000 men, r balf brigade of Devens only astride the pike, the rest of of Devens’s and ScliiirzV forces facing sooth, and Steinwher maH»ed at Dowdall’s. How ard’s best brigade was gone and there was not a man to support him between Dowdall’s and Chauceilorsville, for this portion of the line under Sickles had been advanced into the woods nearly two miles. Ou the right flank of this little force lay Jackson’s corps of over 20,000 men, whose wide wings, like the arms of a gigantic cuttlefish, were ready to clutch it in their fetal embrace. To cover Jackson’s march, Lee at intervals during the dav tapped at the lines in front, principally where Hancock lay. Daring all this afternoon Hooker had a chance handsomely to redeem his Friday’s error in retiring into the Wilderness. Whatever the reason, the fact that Lee bad divided his army irmained clear. Lee, with the right wing, had but 18,000 men. Hooker knew that he could not have more than 25,(XX). He himself had 70,000 splen did troops. He could have crushed Lee like an egg shell, and then have turned on Jackson. But, with a knowledge of Jackson's habit of mys tery, of his wonderful speed and fight ing capacity, and of his presence on our right, with all the means of knowl edge that this same right flank was isolated by two miles of impenetrable woods from any supporting force, he sat still, folded his hands and patiently waited evenU. The 11th corps was eating supper. Arms were stacked as the breastworks looking south were but fairly sub stantial. Facing east were none. Some carelessness was apparent, in that ambulances, ammunition wagons, pack mules, snd even a drove of beeves were close behind the line. Every oue was at ease, though a few were not wauling in anxiety. Little Wii- denicss Church, near by, endeavored to stamp a peaceful air upon the war like scene. The general teeling seemed to be that it was foo late (o get up mucb of a fight on that day. Jackson, in three lines, Rhodes in advance, Colston next and A. P. Hill stilt coming up, lay close by. He hud caught Hooker’s right ID flagrante delictu. At 6 p. in., the order was iveu, and 22,000 of the best infantry in existence closed rspidlv down upon the flank of 10,000 of the least hard ened of the troops of the Potomac. Not the Old Guard, not Fiedrich’s automata, could have changed front under the staggering blow. Tbe fight was short, sharp, deadly, but partial only. All that man could do Devins did. Wounded, he kept the saddle and commanded; but tbe force on the right was swept away like a cobweb by Jackson’s mighty besom. Some ol Schurz’s regiments made a gallant show of resistance under the terrible ordeal of friends snd foes breaking through their hastily formed lines; some melted sway without burning a cartridge. •> Duschbeck’* brigade threw itself into some breastworks con structed atross the road of Dowdyi's and made a de»pcrate resistance. It was here that Howard had asked leave to place his line, but had been refu-ed. A ridge made the line well available for defence. The whole situation w as confusion worse confounded. 1 lie attack bad been so sudden that the stampede of the regiments on the ex treme right swept away many of those which were endeavoring to form near the fork of tho roads. The drove of beeves, the frightened teamster* and ambulance drivers, officers, servants and hundreds of camp follower* were rushing blindly, seeking an escape from the murderous Aarl of lead, i'lie enemy came on w ith remorseless stead fastness. Never was an iymy more completely surprised, more absolutely overwhelmed. Few, even among the old soldiers, preserved their calmness, but many diif their duty. The higher officers were in tire thickest of the liay An occa-ioual stand would be ina'tc only to be again broken. Everywhere appeared the evidence of unprepa>ed ness. It is small wonder that the corps made no resistance worthy tiie name Rather wonder that, under the cir cumstances I have detailed, the ousel of Jackson was actually checked by this surprised and overmatched, this telescoped force, considerably more than an hour, at a loss of one-third its effective strength. Could more have been ex peeled 1 ' The worthlessness of Hooker’s dis position now became apparent Jack son’s small rear guard hud been play ing with Sickles, while his main ooay had extinguished Howard. Nothing now lay between Jackson and the headquarter* of the army except difficult forest, through which a mass of pauic-strickcu fugitives were rush ing in dire confusion out of range Happily night was approaching, auc Jackson's troops had to be halted ant re-formed, his three lines having be come inextricably mixed. Anderson had made a serious attack on onr centre so soon as tbe guns of Jackson’s corps were heard, so that Hooker bad nothing at hand to throw into the gap hut Berry’s division of the old 3rd corps. Other troops were too far away. This division was now hurried into position across the pike. Tbe artillery of the 3rd corps ant many guns ol the 11th corps were a-sembled on the Fairview crest. Sickles faced about the 15,000 men he had led into the woods, and disposed himself to attack Jackson in more practical fashion. Between good use of several batteries, and a gallant charge by a handful of cavalry, a di version upon his flank was created, which, coupled to Berry’s desperate resistance and the heavy artllh ry fire from Fairview, arrested Jackson’ onset. It was after this check, while reconnoitring in front of his troops, that this noted soldier received, from his own lines, the volley which in flicted on him a mortal wound. A midnight attack was' made by Sickles upon Jackson. Sickles’t claim that be drove the enemy back to Dow- dall’s is scarcely substantiated. Tbe attack bad no particular result. Sickles regained once more bis old position at Haael Gsove, which he held until day- Jlgfat Sunday morning, when be was ordered beck to Cheneellorsvilie by Hooker. The latter seemed unaware how important this height might prove oos in Lee’s ’ rooming at daylight icceeded Jackson, ranged Fahrvk don this line of defame. On Sunday Stuart, who*n hi* 20,050 men opposite tbe Fairview crest ami supported them by batteries on this same Hazel Grove. Fairview whs crowded by onr artillery snd de fended by abont an equal infantry force on the ridge below, consisting of the entire 3rd corns and WiHiams of the 12th corps. Anaerson snd McLaws, with 17,000 men. still confronted Geary and Hancock with 12,000. Rey nolds had arrived during the night, but was posted on the extreme right, away from the scene of actual hostili ties. No other troops were brought into action. Thus the superior tactics of the enemy enabled him to outuum- ber us at every point of attack, while an equal number of available Union troops lay upon their arms close by, witnessing the ill)needed slaughter of their comrades. Tbe attack of the Confederates be gan shortly after daylight, with “Jack- son" for a watchword, ami was gallant io the extreme. Anderson pushed in on our left centre, as .Stuart did on the right centre, both contending for the Chancellor House, which barred their possession of tho turnpike. No praise is too high for tho staunchness of the attack or the stubbornness of the de fence; but, after heavy fighting during the entire forenoon, the army of the Potomac yielded to the Confederate pressure and retired to a new line already ‘prepared its engineers, and which had its apex at the While House. Time docs not allow the barest details of this struggle to be entered upon. Suffice it to say that the loss of the 3rd, 12th and 2nd corps of 4,000, 8,000 and 2,000 rc*pectivcly effectually gauges the biMerness of the contest. The Confederate loss was, if anything, higher than ours during this Sunday morning. Lee was re-forming for an a*sault upon our new line when rumors from Fredericksburg diverted hn attention. Colonel Dodge also give* the reasons which induced the Federal command ers after the battle to retire beyond the Rappahannock. The total loss of the Potomac army was 17,200; of die army of Northern Virginia 12,300. At ihe conclusion of his lecture Colonel Dodge said: The direct result of Chancellorsvillc was the second invasion ot the North ern States by I^ee, which culminated in the defeat of the army of Northern Virginia two mouths later ou the hills of Gettysburg. Tried by the rule of brilliant success against vast odds, Lee’s work in this campaign Is scarcely open to criticism. The hero of the campaign is Thomas J. Jackson, the moetubie lieutenant ot our civil war. THE CLIIVEKICH CASE. Ho on to Ui bis own, bow dangerous hands. For as his line here made a salient, it behooved him to strengthen it by jwt neb a height or else to aban- l>o<-l«loo of tho Coart of App**l* bo Annoaarod. It is understood that the Virginia Court of Appeals will render a deci sion in the Cluverius case in abont three weeks. Of course as to what will be tbe effect of that oipnion can only be a matter of conjecture. Taken altogether, this case is one of the most notable oues known in the criminal history of the State. The ziemd hotly Miss Fanny Lillian Madison was Kmud in the reservoir more than a yeirsgo. The prisoner was arrested s few days later, and his trial followed, resalting in his conviction a few months subsequent. From that time until now not a single new piece of evidence has lieen discovered which throws tbe least light on the dark mystery which surrounds the deatli of the young girl whose body was found in the city reservoir that cold, dreary March morning. If there i* any oue besides the condemned man, who is waiting so anxiously tor tbe decision of Ihe Court of Appeals, who can throw any additional light upon that tragedy, he or she has wot mode it known. # The prisoner’s counsel think they have matte out a strong case, and while they have little to say, are pro bably aomewuat hopeful of obtaining a favorable aec‘a : ou for their client from tiie Court. The strongest points in the exception* made to the rulings of the lower tribunal are the admis sion of the nalo written by thedece iscA, from the American Hotel to the pris oner on the night she left that house for tho last time, and the letter known ns the “LauraCurtis letter,’’ written by the dead girl. This missive whs intended to furnish an excuse for her sndden departure from Mrs. Dicker son’s for Richmond. It was in the handwriting of Lillian Madision, and the theory is the girl wrote it and mailed it hero to the prisoner, who rernailed it to the deceased. This let ter purported to be from Miss Curtis, of Richmond, requesting Miss Madi son to accompany an aunt of the form er to Old Point as companion. The correspondence was of course a forge ry, and intended to deceive the dead girl’a employer, and avoid arousing suspicion as to tho object of her visit to Richmond. Tbe mystery of the tragic death of the betrayed girl, the intricate legal points involved in the trial of the prisoner, and the cool self- K ssesslon manifested by the latter, ve all tended to add to the interest in the case. Aaaojtag tho President. The unmarried President has a hard er time in the White House than people imagine. He is besieged in matrimo nial schemes from all quarters. Let ter* ou the subject of marriage are w itten (o him, and I doubt not that Cleveland has received a number of barefaced proposal* dtying the past year. Arthur used to get such letters, and Jere Black once said that when lie was in Buchanan’s Cabinet he used to receive proposals of marriage from ladies who wanted to present their claims for tlM President’s hand through him. Dnring the last administration a female crank called at tbe Whiter House while President ArtfTur was in the West and said she did not like to hear of the President paying so much attention to the Indians. She feared he might become infatnated with a sqnaw, and in order to save the nation from such a calamity as an Indian wife in the White House she would even sacrifice herself upon Arthur’s matri monial altar.— Wathington Letter. want a MUaUaippI Pitot loya.

Improvements In tho City—Othar Matters of Interest. Columbia, S. C., April 10.—I have already mentioned ^ that Moody and Sankey, the great evangelists, were expected in tho city. They reached here in dne time and began their campaign against sin, the flesh and the devil. The meetings were held in the Opera House and that building was crowded to its utmost capacity. Heats for two or three hundred were arranged on the stage and the body of the house was filled to overflowing with anxious and carious listeners. From the amount of pufl- ing that these gentlemen had received I expected to hear something grand, but I am sorry to say that I was dis appointed and 1 am not alqiin in tny disappointment. Mr. Moody% manner is earnest and his style simple, but there is little else to be saia ou the subject that could not be said for others. He utterly failed to get his audience under control. Although there was the profoundcst silence dur ing his discourse, it was the silence of the carious and not of an Audience spell-bound by the eloquence of the speaker. His attempts to excite the emotions fell flat, though there were a few earnest responses to hi* appeals: Comparing the newspaper reports and comment* on the achievement* ot (his gentleman thoughoiit the North mid in England with tho result* of his work here, I would say that he liad “lost his grip.’’ Without flattery to home talent 1 honestly believe ihat l have heard from Winnsboru pulpits the beautiful story of salvation told with more eloquence, add with »' much earnestness as it was told here by Mr. Moody. Do not uiuunder- stand me a* harshly criticising oue who is earnestly striving to do goo 1 in his day and generation; for I believe in his sincerity of purposo and bon-, ostv of conviction, and I earnestly hope that the seed* that he has so\vn will not fall upon stony ground, to be choked by thorns and thistles, hut that they will fall u|>ou rich soil and bring forth a harvest of good. I simply mean to say that in my humble opin ion Mr. Moody’s capacity for doiuggood has been overestimated. “A prophet is not without honor «ave tn his own country” and if the jieople who went to hear Mr. Moody —people who came in on the excursion trains lor that pur- jiose—woflld go to their own churches and listen, with one-half the attention that they gave to Mr. Moody, to the teachings of their legitimate pastors and masters there would be little use for these well advertised, sensational affaira. The meetings brought a great many people to the city and )jere of consid erable benefit; doubtless, to’the mer chants, the hotels am) the railroads. Columbia is waking up ami there are many improvement* under way. There are a number of new stores in cotiraa of construction on Main street, and new dwellings in other parts of the city are being built. A base ball epidemic threaten* tiie city.

Tiie immediate cause is attributed bymativ to 1 cifcuLr which appeared Wedne*dav morning, an nouncing that the Democratic party would hold funeral services at tour o’clock in the afternoon over tbe party known there as the “Huurchcs. 1 ’ Directly after the appearance of the circular, it was announced that the “lluarchcs” party would prevent, by force, any such demonptration. At four o’clock the streets leading to the pMnt whence the Democratic party was announced to start, were Irlock* aded with armed ineu. Fur half an hour the autpea— was intolerable.~~Tr was then announced Mutt there would l»e no effort to bury in effigy the de feated party. This had a pacific ef fect, am! the crowd In-gan to disperse. Suddenly the music ot the Demo cratic band struck up and the proces sion mqved out to and down Main street and turned into the street lead ing to the main plaza. When the bend of (lie column had reached tiie front of Marion’s sFtrc a party of mea, armed with WittCTiesters and revolvers, charg ed the proce-sion. Instantly over one hundred men became encaged in a deadly conflict, and for halt an four a regular battle raged along tbe street near the river. During the height of the conflict a small cannon which had been u*ed by the Huarches party, and which is said to have been charged with nails and stones, was fired down tho street. By 5 o’clock the mob spirit was supreme and it was feared that women and children would be at the mercy of the rioters. At this critical moment void was dispatched to Colonel Barnard, commandant at Fort McIntosh, tiiat the heav> firing in the c ty was caused by an attack by Mexicans from the other side of the Rio Grande. It took but a few moments to dbable-qurck two companies of infantry into the town, before whom the mob quickly dispersed, and in a short time every armed man on the. street had his weapons taken away from him and order was restored. The casualties, so far as known, art five killed and three wounded. - H« Demanded She Proof. Judge Montgomery had aquccrca*e before him af Davie Court last week.

He had not gone far when the brother popped up again and Baht: “I demand scriptural proof for that state nent, sir.” He was again asked to sit down and be quiet He refused to do so, and persi»ied in his demand for tbe “scriptnrel proof.” Whereupon the preacher got down from bis pulpit and led him ont.

From tbe mbmeul of his appearance on his way to Parliament, the enthusiasm of tho people knew no bounds, ami after he entered the House cheer after cheer greeted the Premier, while the demonstration on Mtc pad of the Liberals and Parnellites was such as was never before wit nessed in England In presenting his bill G.adsiane said “the time Vv* ar rived when both honor and di\ly quire Parliament to conic to a decisive resolution, and liberate itself from the restraints under which it has for Iato years ineffectually struggled, and re store legislation to it* unimpeded course."
