The contribution is valu able, not only because the writer has had It inhlB power to furnish a great deal of first hand testimony concern- log important events and distinguish ed commanders, but because the trustworthiness of the narrative & guaranteed by the admirable spirit that prevades it.—Geu. Gordon is one’ of those brave ■ men who slieatlied their tongues when they sheathed their Tswords. He is Indeed, just as firmly convinced now as lie was tn 1861, that the seced.ng States were constitutionally Justified in attempt * ing to organi/.e a separate Confed eracy, but he holds that the arbitra ment of war has made the question purely academic, and,.that, as it is now the duty, so, too, it should be the happiness, of ex-Confederates and Of theiL descendants to demonstrate their loyalty to the < reconsolkiated Union.

MBADB. — With regard to Gettysburg, Qen. Gordon concurs in the wellnigh uni versal opinion that this battle was the turning point in the south's for tunes. He concedes that “the high water mark of the Rebellion" was reached when Pickett’s Virginians under Kemper, Garnett and Armi? stead, In their memdrable charge, swept over the rock wall. It is Gen. Gordan’s conviction that to the Union Oommander, Geo. George Gordon Meade, history will accord the honor assertion attributed- to Gen. Lee, uses these words;* "“Gen. Lee made that remark to Prof. James J. White . and myself in’his office In Lexington.

Lee-and Gen. Jackson, at the inception Of the Confederate movement against Gen. Hooker's army atChancellorsville. It is evident that Gen. Lee, although Commander-In-Chief was willing to change his plans at Jackson's sugges tion, jv he re as another incident, to be mentioned presently, shows that Jackson having made up his mind, could not be mftved to reconsidera tion. As the tight at Chancellorsville was about to begin Jackson rode up to the Confederate commander, and said'to him: “Gen. Lee, .this is not the best way to move on Hooker." Well. Gen. Jackson," was the reply, “you mint remember that 1 am com- pelled to depend to some extent upon information furnished me by others, especially by the engineers, as to the topography, the obstructions, etc., and the.,e engineers are of the opin ion that this is a very good way of approach.” “Your eugineerr are mis taken, sir,” said Jackson. 7 What do you knovv about it, Gen. Jackson? You kay? the'sTtuat|pn.” ./vJlilt 1 have, sir," was the* rejoinder. “I have ridden \)ver the whole field.” It seems that he hid. “Then, what Ts to be done, Gen. Jackson?” “Take the route you yourself at first suggested: move on the Hank—move on the tlank.” “Then you will at once makeihe movement, sir!" said Lee. AWFUL COLLISION. I ntxm An tea wilt.

Gordon’s judgment, the record and the results of the battle entitle Meade to a high place among Union leaden. “To him and his able sub ordinates and betolc men is due the credit of having successfully met and repelled the Army of Noithern Vir^ finia in the meridian of its hope and confidence and powef. This much seems secure to turn, whether his fail ure vigorously to follow Gen. Lee and force him to another battle is justi- Sad Of condemned l»y the military critics of the future. Gen. Meade.’* army halted, it is true After having achieved a victory. The victory, )x>wever, was not of so decisive a character as to demoralize Lee's for- oea. H Our author recalls the dictum of the great Napoleon that tied as any be the condition of a victorious army after battle it is invariably true that ttML condition of the defeated army is still worse. The comment on this dictum is that, “if any success ful commander was ever justified in disregarding this truism of Bona parte’s, Gen. Meade , was that com mander, for a considerable portion of Lee’s army, probably one-third of it, was Still in excellent fighting trim, and nearly evfery man in it would have responded with alacrity to Lee’s call to form a defensive line and de liver battle." - LONGSTHEET LOST GETTYSm’KO. We have said that it Is rather witli regret than reproach that Gen. (Jor don marks what he believes to have been LongstreeUs fatal shortcomings at Gettysburg. His deliberate deduc tions from all the evidence obtainable are set forth in a fWnote to page Itio of this volume. To Gen. Gordon it now seems certain that impartial mili tary critics, after thorough investiga tion, will consider the following facts aflibhsbed! “First, - that -Gen. Lee lyordered Loflgstreet to attack early on the morning of the second day, and if Longstreet had done so two of the largest corps of Meade's army would not have been in the dgbt; but Longstreet delayed the at tack until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and thus lost his opportunity of oc- hg Little Hound Top, the key to litlon, which he might have {In the morning without firing a 'losing a man.

He Would formulate a judgment)' risk his last man on its correctness-and deliver the blow while otliers were 'hesitating and debating as to its wisdom and safety. This trait was strikingly exhibited in our author's presence at Malvern Hill. Our author was sitting on bis horse facing Gen. Jackson, and receiving in structions from him, when Major Gen. Whiting, himself an officer of high capacity; rode up in great haste and interrupted Jackson* as he was giving Gordon a message to Gen. H-ill-.- With some*agilation Wiiiting said: “Gen. Jackson, I find, sit, that I can not accomplish what you have direct ed unless you send me some additional infantry and another battery;"and he then proceeded to give the reasons why the order could not be executed with the forces at his dispoKaL ^All this lime, while Whiting explained and argued, Jackson sat on liis horse like a stone statue.

A Freight and a Work! Train Running nt Fall'Speed Come Together ' With Bleaetrone Reanlta J" Near Maeklaaw, Ilk - Another terrlbte railroad accident is reported from Peoria, 111. Thirty- one men were killed and at least fif teen Injured in a head-on collision be tween a freight train and a work train In the summer of 1868 the Tennes see delegates to the national Demo- cractic convention which .nominated Mr. Seymour for the presidency met at Nashville and proceeded In a body General Forrest was a delegate from Memphis, and it was the first time he bad gone North since (be war. Sectional feeling waa Intense, at that period, but no one of the party Visits the Whits Honif and Rebukes the President’s Secretary js. felt any concern for the safety of even General Forrest.

Bodies of 26 of the victims have been taken from the wreck whlctf is piled 30 feet high on the tracks. Joined the Tennesseeans, one of whom was Genentl Basil Duke. General Duke had not before met General For rest, but afterEmakinn.^is acquain tance, the two sat opposite in the Fi ve bodies yet remain burled , under sleeper chatting pleasantly over the huge pile of broken timber, twist: ed and distorted iron and steel. On a hank at the side of the track lie the bodies of the victims, cut, bruised and mangled in a horrible manner. So far 12 only have been identified, the remaining being un recognizable, even by those who knew them and are aware of the fact that they are among the dead. The vic tims are residents of neighboring towns. . . All the dead and most of the in jured were .members of the work tralh, the crews on both engines jumping in time to save their lives. The collision occurred in a deep,cut at the beginning of a sharp curve, neither train-being visible to the crew of tbe the events of the past. While in Louisville General Forrtfst telegraphed the ticket agent at Cin cinnati, asking him to reserve a sec tion for his use in the New York sleeper. The operator, like-every 00^ else at that time, was fam'liar with the fame of Forrest, and gladly s&ared with his friends at other stations the news, which would afford them an op portunity of seeing tbe great cavalry man, At one of the stations there lived . a man who had been for some time a terror to his neighbors. He was known to have killed several men, and everybody at his home gave him the right of way. 01 The engineers set the brakes, sounded tbe whistles and then leaped from their cabs, the two trains striking with such force that the sound was heard for miles.* A second after the collision the boiler of the work train engine exploded, throwing heavy iron and splinters of wood 200 feet. _ ^ Conductor John W. Judge, of Indl- anapolis, who had 1 charge of the freight train, received orders at Ur- hana to wait at Mackinaw for tbe work train which was due there at 2 40 p. m. instead of doing this he IttHed to stop- The engineer of the work tralp, George Becker, bad also received orders to pass the freight at Mackinaw and was on the way to that station^ The work train was perhaps five minutes late and was running a£ full speed. One of the last bodies recovered was that of William Bailey of Mackinaw, who had been lifted 30 feet Into the air and held in place by two steel rails which had been, pushed up be tween the engine and tender of the work train. The dead will lie on the bank all night, or until the arrival of the coroner of Tazewell county in.Xhe morning.

A Horrible Death. —— A dispatch from Union to The State says Oss Miller, a negro fireman in Union mills, was crushed to deatn by walking into the large fiywheel-of the mill engine. His legs and arms were ground to pulp and the entire top of his head was taken off and one eye w^s found several yards from - the body. Almost every bone in his body was broken.

Brennan bas-kllled herself by the use of chloroform at the Del Pardo hotel. The reason for the sul- Jdde developed at the coroder’s inquest today.'-: Mrs. Brennan was the wife of a wealthy citizen of Denver and up to fuur years ago, when she contracted blood poisoning, she reigned among the belles of Denver society. She felt the loss of her beapty deeply and last October came to Chlcago and. placed herself-in the hands of a “beauty doctor.” Even at tbe hotel her face was covered by a veil. “Must I al ways be tbe yetted woman? Will peo ple always stare at my face Because it is ugly, just as they were once at tracted by my beauty?” This plaint burst from tbe afflicted woman recent ly, according to her maid. On an other occasion she said to an uncle living in Chicago: “Death is prefer able to life in this condition,” but she laughed and no more was thought of tier words. -*J>epat)r Sheriff Killed.

Bennett, who Is chairman of the b**ard of commissioners of BFaSffoFcf county, was peonage, being accused of ferreff war to place, and sought every opportunity to pick a quarrel. This desperate fellow happened to bear that Forrest would pass on the train, and went from place, to place telling those he met that he intended to take the d—n rebel from the train and drag him through the streets) Fully 2,000 people collected at the little depot to see him do it. ' The big ruffian grew more furious is the crowd was augmented, and tbe operator whojoiY® out the news deemed it wise to notify General Forrest and suggest that be remain where be was and await the night train. Tbe con ductor on a southbond train was. told fcTstate“the facts to tbe conductor on tlie train bearing tbe delegates, and say that a great mob had already as sembled to witness the humiliation the bully proposed to inflict,.add to urge General Forrest to turn baeje. These facts were ct mmunlcated to General Duke, wbo felt much delicadj in relating the story to Forrest, but. deemed it bis duty, and, therefore, explained tbe situation to him. The train was nearing the station, and whatever was decided on must be done quickly. Tbe conductor accom panied General LUike and urged For rest to get off; tbit lie knew the man to be very desperate. • General Duke simply stated what he bad been told, and said: ■“General.' we will stand by you.” Furrest thanked him, but said: “The man does not know me, therefore cannot have any quarrel with me. It Is all talk, and I am going to remain in this car.” The train slowed down for the sta tion “and the crowd surrounded the platform, No one could tell what the next few minutes would bring forth. As Soon al the tratn had stopped, the big bully burst open tbe sleeper door and smashed the glass in tbe upper part of it as a Herald of his ap proach. _ He strutted down the aisle calling for tlife d—n rebel to stand up." Gen- eral Forrest was eating an apple, and the only person in the car wiihout evidences of excitement. The bad man finally sized him up and made toward hi®, cursing and chargtng. General Forrest, quick as a (lash, grasped bimrhy the throat, and in less than ten seconds bad thrown him head long from tbe platform of the car to tbe ground. Tbe general made tbe air blue for an instant and when the bully regained his feet he was on a dead run. Forres,t quickly realized the ludicrousness of the affair and burst into a laugh.

CARRIE NATION RAISES A RACKET AT CAPITOL Finally Lands fb the Poltee Court, Where 8he Pays a Fine Twenty-five Dollars. —-Mrs. Carrie Nation pald the city of Washington a visit last week, and as usual phe had a strenuous time. She appealed in tbe principal role of a sensational scene at tbe White House Thursday. Her request to see the president being refused, she became violent and had to be taken from the ■executive office by two police officers. As she was being escorted from the building she shouted at tbe top of her voice: “I am going to pray for a prohibi tion president and we will have one- one wbo will represent the people and not the distillers and brewers. You may put me out of the building but if a brewer or liquor dealer were here he would have been admittedat once.” Mrs. Nation said she wanted to see the president about several matters. “J understand be carried a dive full of liquors on bis western trip; that he smoked cigarettes on th^ steps of the capitol at Topeka; that bis flag has on it.a coat-of-arms. Are these things so?” * Assured that she had been misin formed she replied: “Oh, well, 1 want to see him aqybow and'have a talk Christmas Presms Presently she was informed that the president could not seefsber. “Well, that’s funny,” she criediout. Remarking on the number of United States senators and representatives who were passing in and out of the president’s office, she c ntinued: ' x “I see a Idt.of men going in and but^of bis office; I wo^ld like to know why t,bey can see the president and we mothers and sisters of the country can’t get heiir him.” While she was waiting her turn to talk to Mr. Loeb, several representa tives happened lo pass through the of fice. Mrs. Nation, immediately be gan to lecture them on the evils of the liquor traffic. ^ "Madame,” broke in Secretary one on request Loeb. “I am compelled to request you to discontinue your ta’k. If you want .to deliver a lecture you will have, to- go outside. These are my offices.” 4 ■ ’T You are mistaken," sliouted Mrs. NatiylThy'sterically. “Tnese are the people’s offices. I propose to do what I can right here and now to crush the iquqr traffic. You tell me the presi dent is too busy to see me, but I tell you that I don’t believe it.” Secretary Loeb beckoned to the po lice otliaers whore moved Mrs. Nation by force and. escorted her out of the grounds Mrs. Nation went direct to the capitol and appeared in the"senate gallery a few minutes before the Sen ate was called to order at noon. She was soon discovered and surrounded .v. by pages and* messenger boys and un til prohibited by the senate officials did a thriving business in selling her cards wi th ajjay Hu tchet, attached. Slie left the gallery when asked to do so and went to the marble room and talked with Senator Cockrell. She had been absent from tbe gei- lery about ten- minutes when she reappeared at one of the doors of the ladies’ gallery and raising her right .Iwnd lAr.above her head* shouted in a loud aud clear toue: . “Saloons are anarch)! Saloons are treason and conspiracy!” The senate was at the time engaged in receiving bills but Mrs.: Nation’s voice was so much more penetrating thatrtfie'feadTng cleriPs that It was distinctly heard throughout the'sen- ate chamber aud even in the corridors. The incident created a ripple of excite ment. Mrs. Nation was expelled from the gallery and turned over to tbe local police.
