The Tributo of i\ Federal Soldier to tho
Military Genta* of "tho Most Ablo Lieu
tenant ot'our C?TII War."
The fourth lecture of il serio? Oil the
civil war at the Lowell Institute, Bos
ton, was delivered some tune ago by
Col. Theodora A. Dodge, one ol'the best
known men in Boston military circles.
He served constantly Hi the Anny of
tho Potomac (in every volunteer reg
intentai rank up to that Of colonel),
from thc Peninsula, where lie was
with Kearney, through Pope's and
Burnside's campaigns, and at Chan
cellorsville and Gettysburg.
The sul.'joct of Col. Dodge's lecture
was "Chancellorsville," and particu
larly the great Hank movement of
Stonewall Jackson which turned tho
lido of war on thc memorable second
of May, 1862.
Col." Dodge related in detail the
movements of the Army of tho Polo
mac which lcd to their assuming posi
tion at Chancellorsville, and gives the
position ot tho two annies when they
confronted each other on the day ol
the great battle between Lee and
Hooker. Col. Dodge says:
Thc Arni, of the Potomac on Fri
day night, lay huddled in the chappa
ral around Cheticellorsville, instead of
occupy, as they might, a well deli ned
position on the open ground in front
Bank's Ford. Gradually during thu
night the several corps drifted, weary
and disheartened at this unexplained
check in the midst ol'success, into the
position which they had taken up alter
crossing the river, without any ?doa ol'
lighting there. Tho lino was thus a
haphazard one, on the worst conceiva
ble ground, where cavalry was useless,
artillery confined to tho roads or to a
few open spaces, and infantry hidden
or paralj zod.
During this.night, while thc Anny
of Northern Virginia was moving into
position in front of its gigantic, but
apparently unnerved oucmy, Lee
ami Jackson developed a plan for an
attack upon our right, which, though
posted on high ground, was really in
the air. Loo may have originated lilt
plan, but il bears a distinctly Jack
sonian flavor; and, surely, wilhoui
such a lieutenant io execute it, Lei
would never have dreamed ol' making
such a risky move. The plan gav?
Jackson ubqtll 24,000 men with whicl
lo undertake a mareil around om
right flank lo a position where Ix
might cut us oft'from United Stale
Ford. It was ultruhazardou*, for i
separated a small army in the presche*
of a large one. lt was justifiable onC
ou the ground that i loo. ur evident!;
meant Lo retain thc defensive; ?li it tin
movement would bo screened from bli
oyo by tue woods; thai there seeinet
no more available plan, that some im
mediate action was demanded. Hat
it failed, it would have met the ccu
sure of over j soldier. No maxim o
tactics appl es tu it so well as th
proverb, "Nothing venture, nolhinj
gain."
Although Jackson's corps had bee;
on foot ?lld partially engaged for som
thirty hours, the men set out on t li i
new mareil with cheerful alacrity
They could always follow "Old Jack
with their eyes shut. Stuart's cavalr
masked the advance. Jackson did nt
know that his column would have t
pass soinu open ground in full view <

have it follow a botter concealed 1'OUU
Early Saturday morning tue mov?

and a reconnoissancu was pushed on
to embarrass its advance. Atter som
trouble and a slight and sin

This march of Jackson's might

Either would have been ticcoiiipant

otherwiss criminal. In him alone
centered all tho information of con

alone was reported each now cirontn
Btauee. His subordinates knew hut
tho partial truth. They rolled on him
for the initiative.
At 6 p. m., then, tho situation was
this: The left and centro lay as before.
Howard held tho right, tho "key of
the position," with 10,000 men, a half
brigade Of Dcvcns only astride tho
pike, tho rest of of Devens's and
Schurz'? forces facing south, aud
St oin w ber massed at Dowdall's. How
ard's best brigade was gono and lhere
was not u mau to support him between
Dowdall's and Chancellorsville, for
this portion of thc line under Sickles
had been advanced into the woods
nearly two milos. On tho right flank
of this littlo force lay Jackson's corps
of over 20,000 mon, whoso wide wings,
like tho arms of a gigantic cuttlefish,
were ready to clutch it in their fatal
embrace. To covor Jackson's march,
Lee at intervals during tho day tapped
at thc lines in front, principally wncre
Hancock lay.
During all tliis aftornoon Ilookor
had a chance handsomely to redeem
his Friday's error in rotiring into the
Wilderness. Whatever thc rea-ion,
thc fact that Lee had divided his army
remained clear. Lee, with the right
wing, had but 18,000 men. Hooker
know that he could not have more thaif
20,000. Ho himself had 70,000 splen
did troops. Ile could have crushed
Lee like an egg shell, and thou have
turned on Jackson. But, with a
knowledge of Jackson's habit of mys
tory, of his wonderful speed and fight
ing capacity, and of hi* presence on
our right, with all the means of knowl
edge that this same right Hank wan
isolated by two miles of impenetrable
wood* from any supporting force, he
sat still, folded his hands and patiently
waited events.

On Sunday morning at daylight
Stuart, who succeeded Jackson, ranged

on this same ilazei Grove. * Fairview
was crowded by our artillery and de
fended by about an equal infantry
force on tfio ridge below, consisting of
the entire 8 rd corns and Williams of
the 12th corps. Anderson and McLuws,
with 17,000 mon. still confronted
Geary and Hancock with 12,000. Rey
nolds bad arrived during tho night,
but was posted on the extreme right,
away fruin tho scene of actual hostili

into action. Thus thc superior tactics
of llie enemy enabled him to outnum
ber us at every point of attack, whilo
an equal number of availablo Union
troops lay upon their arms closo by,
witnessing tho unneeded slaughter bf

Tho attack of the Confederates be
gan shortly after daylight, with ..Jack
son" for a watchword, and was gallant
io thc extreme. Anderson pushed in
on our left centre, as Stuart did on the
right centre, both contending for Hie
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
tho entire forenoon, Hi? army of thc
Potomac yielded to tho Confederate
pressure and retired to a new lint!
alreadv prepared by its engineers,
aud which had its apex at tho While

iishtnent at a Parliament at Dublin
for the conduct of legislative and
administrative business, with an equit*
ebie distribution Of imperial funds.
The intention of the bill is thai the
Parliament nt Dublin shall be deal in
charauUT, and composed of two orders,
caril nf which shall have power li?
veto the acts of thu other, the Hist lo
be composed of 1(1!) and I hu second Of
206 members. Twenty-eight of the
Irish peers will continue t<> sit in the
llouso of Lords, tiud they will be
granted thc option of having lite seats
in the first order nf the proposed Par
liament. The office of viceroy is to
remain, but to be non-political here
after; the Irish constabulary will also
remain under thc fame authority as ai
present. The proposed Parliament
will bc empowered lo deal with mat
ters affecting trade and navigation,
coinage, wei .lils and measures, and
postal affair*. Tho entire proceeds
arising from customs and excise dillies
in In land will hp held for tho bcnofit
of that conni ry, the funds io bc used
tor the dischnrge. of just obligtlti ns,
and the excess, if any. lo be placed in
lin- Irish exchequer. Power ot im
posing taxes is also granted, hui it
hall not interfere with the preroga
tive of the crown, in army, naval or
colonial matters.
Gladstone's introduction of this bill
has produced a profound sensation, ar^
well in Ill-land as in England. Doubt1
are expressed <?f th' practicability ol
the scheine. The Parucllites object ti
the feature which gives the hereditary
nohlli'y, in the proposed Irish Par)ia
ment, the right lo defeat or, al al
events, lo stave efl" legislation tonkin;
to the extension of popular rights ii
Ireland. The progress ol' the measure
will be watched with widespread in
leresl.

In reply to i letter recently recoivet
by Senator folquitt from a Vlrgluiai
relative to the workings of prohibitioi
in lin- Slate ol' (ie irghl, and pei hap
desirous of knowing how to vote ii
the prohibition contest in Virginhi
said :
"Very few words will do for ah an
swot* io your letter of inquiry as io iii
i fleet on taxation and property value
in Georgia as the result of prohibition
The allegation that these have boc
affected injuriously is simply a devlc
of the enemy. There has not been
fraction ufa mill added lo our lax i
Georgia by reason ot prohibition, not
taking values in Atlanta a? an index
has lhere been any hilling off in rei
estate prices. In my State, ns every
where else, business is hailing au
dejected; hut will any zealot lor whi
key and whiskey civilization and pro!
perity -av that one million of working
men now out ol eiuployinout in Iii
United States are thus placed beeanf
of the stoppage or reduction id' thc!
whiskey ration? I I lilllie il is big
time for men to take up their slat
pencils and figure out what a "boom
in dollars and cents is worth to an
people that has io be secured by ll
degradation and ruin of a largo pn
portion oT the population who coi
tribute thc "blood money" .?bal eiitei
Into thc hank balances. In the cst
niatlou of some ol our hitler du
economists thc redemption ot I mino
tal souls from brutish enslavement I
strong drink is entirely too dear if it
secured by a sinking in trade quot:
lions, or an inconvenient hindrance I
the downward plunge to perdilioi
temporal and eternal, by closing a co
nor g roggery. This is the stupid log
of sin, d?liant, hardened and despe
aioly selfish. We must give up HUI
public spirit and political economv i
thht, or stand hy and see our Christin
civilization thwarted and disgraced."
