PlJMaiaijP v THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON, D. 0., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, 13 1838. no -winter wlien laid ont for burial than they were that morning. In a sliorl time they got tlie line started out eo vre could do Eomothing. "We soon found out that Jolm sloa was in our front with large part of life army, and instead of capturing Atlanta so easily ive stood a pretty good snow of going to Andersonville. In s. few minutes IXX5AK GOT TO TVOBK on oar right, and for the next two or three hours we ave Johnny all he wanted. "We gradually forced theni hack over the hill into their intrenchments. "We then coni aionced throwing up works, and by night we had a line sufficiently strong to resist any force they might bring against it Oa the afternoon of the next day they concluded to try us again, just for luck I presume, for it proved to be an old-fashioned killing. The attack covered the Fifteenth and a part of the Sixteenth Corps, and -nrovfld ia he one of the grandest charges made by the Confederates during the At lanta campaign. A few minutes after tlie repulse John A. Logaa came riding down the line, with his hat in his hand, looking like the very god of war. No one can describe how Logan looked in battle any more than he could de scribe the raging sea. I am satisfied that the biggest coward in ihe world would stand oa his head on top of the breastworks if Logaa was present and told him to do so. Johnston may have been a good General, but we failed"i see where he displayed any Tory great amount of ability on that cam paign. He usually waited for us to take up our position on his front and build works, when the killing would commence. It was by such generalship on their part and supe rior generalship oa ours that we succeeded ia destroying an army of 87,000 men in eight months. The next morning after the attack on our works our brigade was relieved and sent back about a mile to rest and to get some deep. It being Sunday, we had emptied our knapsacks to air their contents, and had neglected to pack them before going to bed. Tbat nigkt at 11 o'clock they again at tacked the works with redoubled fury. "We were OKDSEKD TO FALL IS" and march to the front immediately. "While trying t pack our knapsacks we found that a two-buefeel sack wouldn't hold their con tests. My pea is too feeble to describe the scene that night. It was simply terrifying. The woods were full of stragglers going to the rear, while the balls going through the leaves overhead sounded like a heavy rain falling. "When we got down where we could see the works it was the grandest pyrotech nic display I have ever seen. The musketry-fire looked like innumer able candles get along on top of the works, while the artillery was throwing fire 100 yards from the guns, illuminating the heavens until you could see the men in ihe works. It reminded me of a picture I had seen when a boy, where there was a lot of lit tle devils carrying wood for the big devil, ami piling it around a bad man who had starved his mother. The movement of the men in and out of the smoke looked like they were helping the old man with his fires. It began to dawn upon us that we were in a tight place, and that we would have trouble to get on fc. To do so we had to build several lines of works in our rear, leading off toward Big Shanty. It was a terrible sight in front of the works next morning. Everything that was standing within 100 yards of the line was mowed down as clean as a stubble iicid. It was unsafe to show a head above the works while we stayed there, so we never knew how many were killed that night. To withdraw an armv in the presence of a superior force requires a certain amount of generalship, but LOGAX VTAS BQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY- 17a AAnanAuiai ivAniiurfiMnh vencrrvna flnTPn to the works in sight of the enemy, while they and the troops were brought back through a ravine leading to the Tear, taking a position in the new works. "Within 10 minutes after we moved out the Johnnies took poseoauon, cheering as lustily as if they had captured the entire Yankee army. "We moved by easy stages to Big Shanty, the enemy all the while keeping at a respectful distance. Oar flank movement was successful, but it might, have been different with an abler man in Johnston's place. I think that if " Uncle Billy " had had command of the rebels at Aliatoona tbat he would have capt ured the Arm v of the Tennessee at Dallas.

A Union soldier by the name of John Uerhst was oapharcd and imprisoned at Audersoarille. To escape the almost certain death in that no torious prisoQ pen he enlisted ia the Confed erate army, intending to escape and join bis fellows. He was canto red by the Union forces, and after service a second lime was dishonors, bly discharged, and died of disease contracted in the service. Congress saw fit to pension his widow, who is poor and in need. President Cleveland vetoed tbe bill on the high patriotic proond that tbe soldier at one time deserted. He has beets largely applauded for the act by a otrtaiu class; bat they fell to mention that tbe President turned right about from bis prin ciple and appointed F. C.

General Blaster-Workman Powderly appear ed before the Congressional Committee on Im migration at New York and was examined for two hours. Mr. Powdcrly began by stating that be was a resident of Scranton, Pa., and General Master-Workman of the Knights of Labor. Before bis election to that ofiico he bad been a ma chinist. "The Order,"' continued Mr. Pow dcrly, " has spread all over the world, and we have branches iu evory country except China. In Great Britain especially the Order is in a very flourishing condition." " What class of persons, Mr. Powderly, aro eligible for membership in tho Order of the Knights of Labor?" " Well, we take all men wbo work at manual labor. Wo exclude all rum-sellers, those who arc engaged in anyway in the manufactnro or sale of rura, barkeepers, and rich people. Bank ors are not eligible, neither aro lawyers, pro fessional politicians nor loafers." "What do you mean what is your definition of a professional politician?" " A man who lies around and does nothing whatever, who stands around on election day with his hands stretched out for money a species of political heeler and striker. "For the last 12 months," continued Mr. Powdcrly, "I have been traveling all over tho United States. I go to all parts of tho country in the interest of my Order, and have had many chances to study the condition of the working men. I have given much thought to the sub ject of immigration in this country during tho last eight years. I have found from my own observation that the social status of the work ingman has deteriorated, and iu every part has become bad on account of this flood of emigra tion and the contract system. Its tendency is to degenerate and degrade morals. I do not think and do not say that emigration degrades the morals of those wbo come that is, I mean to say that the morals of those who come under the contract system are so degraded that it tends to pollute tho morals of others who have come here before of their own free will. These contract immigrants have hut little morals when they arrive, and still less while they remain. They are induced by agents abroad to come here, and they aro told that they will receive good wages. An agent of mine who was abroad lastyear saw large boards hung up in all the large cities of Europe with huge posters on them setting forth in every language induce ments to emigrants to come to America. Ameri can railroads would employ this method of ad vertising freely, inducing people to como and settle along the lines of their road, offering cheap homos and lands. This is one system of inducing immigration. The other i3 done by the agents of American manufacturers abroad. These men promise high wages and cheap pas sage out. HOW THE MENKES LIVE. "The result of this system I found practi cally illustrated in the United States. I found in 1SS2, in tho town of Frostburg, Md., at what is knows as the Eckcrt Mines, au instance of this system. I was admitted within an in closure, which was surrounded by a high board fence, to the mouth of tho mine, about the bight of this wall, probably a foot or two higher; this inclosed the mine. Inside was a long, low, wooden building; I should call it a shed. In that building I found five rows of bunks. The first one was about 18 inches from the floor. It was two foot six inches wide and six leot six inches in lengtu. une mattress was of straw, and covered o'er with black and blue ticking; atlcastt had been white and blue ticking originally, but it was all black when I saw it, and fully alive to the situation. I saw one Hungarian there were 150 in tho mine; this man walked on crutches. Ho had broken his leg some time before. That man had no assistant. His leg was so offensive as to keep people away from him. Ho reeled into his bunk filthy, his bandages dirty, covered with vermin, and withont undressing. He made no pretense of washing. I saw men como in to the table dirty and filthy and sit down to a meal of s&lfc pork and water, the pork ex tremely lively, without even washing their hands. These are the men who come to take tho places of the American workingmen, who canse the reduction of wages. So tbat when the workingman strikes these men are brought to take his place. They succeed in breaking the backbone of tho strike, while they work for less than an American can afford. There were, I believe, 105 Hungarian who lived there in that shed." WOODED SHOKS AKO FILTH. "Did you remain that night until the men went to bed?" "I did. They would como into the sheds dirty and filthy, and somo of them, those who had modern shoes, would take off these shoes, and then, without washing or undressing, would cast themselves dirty on their filthy beds. They make these shoes themselves from the timber of the trees that they find growing in the neighborhood. They do this rather than give the work to an American shoemaker. I have one of these shoes now at my house in Scranton. As I said before, the men with the wooden shoes tske them off. As to their clothes, they must have been made in their native land. They never take them off, and bad not, I heard, since they had bean iu the mine. Tbe few that had leather shoes did not take them off. "This wholesale importation of immigrant labor has the effect of thoroughly demoralizing the workingmen of this country. The miner who has been shoved out of the mines by these men seeks employment in other towns. The bottom rung of the ladder is shaken.- Inferior men arc placed in shops and factories. Tho discharged miner leaves home to manipulate machinery, so that he can get somo kind of occupation. He will work lower than the skilled workman, and the mechanic goes down to the bottom. Until 1873 the immigration was of a different class. People then camo of their free will. Where I was born there wore many immigrants, principally Irish, Welsh and English. They all prospered and owned their own homes. But with the present class tho American workman is driven out. He cannot compete with them. He cannot live on corn meal and salt pork. I met a Moravian woman some years ago in Cleveland. She was quite intelligent and spoke English. Many of them never learn the language. She was living in a bouse with eight men, did their housework, and served the double purpose of wife and housekeeper to them. 1 asked tho woman why she lived such a life. She said tho had no alternative. If she married one of the men she would starve, bat with eight she could get enough to live on, aud besides there was no danger of her raising a family." THE BKASS CHSCK SYSTEM. Mr. Powderly continued : "T had occasion a short time ago to take a trip on the Pennsyl vania lioau between rhilauelphia and Xiew York. I found a lot of Italian laborers work ing on the road who were identified simply by brass checks bearing numbers attached to & leather belt at the back of their trousers. When you called them by-iheir names they did not know what their names were. The number on their checks corresponded to a number on tho pay-book, aud if they lost the check it was a ease of no check, no pay. I have heard that agents of tbe road frequently stole the checks and cheated these poor creatures of their pay. "I would have every mau who becomes an American citizen speak the English tongue. He should be able to read and undorstand the Declaration of Independence srtid the Constitu tion. I should have our American Consuls abroad examine into the character of every one who comes here, and make every emigrant file an application some time before ho comos for tbe purpose of this examination. The Pardee Company m Pennsylvania is responsible for a number of these Hungarians. Their em ployees do not know how to read, and cannot decipher the words 'danger' at the heads or hazardous places in the mines, and often work to thoir deaths and cause the deaths of others. Their morals are loose, and they become more so tbe longer they stay. They work uudor tho lash like horses. The contract system has been the cause of demoralizing the American work ingman. There are now 1,000,000 of men un employed in the United States. Tho man who brings over contract laborers should be dealt severely with. He makes $5,000, and can easily afford to pay $1,000 fine. As a rule, tho class of Hungarians and Iteliaus who come over here by contract are very undesirable. My father was an immigrant. Ho came over with a shill ing in his pocket, but he raised a family of 12 and did, something for his country. Men who come to stay aud oarn their livings--ira wel comed by us. Put unlss-s man comes of his t own free will l?o don't want him. As far as tuft Chinese aro concerned, tho Knights of Labor do not encourage them. Wo object to them. Still we have somo Chinese Knights of Labor. There aro six or seven in this city. But they are civilized, educated and become un-Chinese, The class who come, as a rule, aio- inforior to those who camo 20 years ago. They aro not as intelligent, asiudustrious nor as well able to take care of themselves. The causo of their coming is advertising in all languages and the cheapening of rates." EDUCATION THE EEMEDY. "What is tho heading object of your organi zation, Mr. Powdcrly?" "The Knights of Labor havo for thoir object tho protection of labor. Wo would educate tho workman so that ho can become a partner with his omployor, showing tho profits of his labor on a basis of co-operation. Thcso contract la borers can never bo educated." LAST CHARGE OF THE "WAR 3rado at Appomattox on a South Carolina Bri gade. JFVont a posthumous article of Gen, Sheridan in the September North American Review. Beyond us, in a low valloy (near Appomat tox Courthouse, aftor my flank movement) lay Lee and the remnant of his army. There did not appear to be much organization, except in tho advanced troops under Gen. Gordon, whom wo had been fighting, and a roar-guard under Gen. Longstrcet still further up the valley. Formations wcro immediately begun to make a bold and sweeping chargo down the grassy slope, when an Aid-de-Camp from Custor, filled with excitement, hat in hand, dashed up to me with tho message from his chief: " Lee has surrendered! Do not chargo; the white flag is up!" Orders wero given to complete the formation, but not to charge. Looking to the left, to Appomattox Court house, a large group was seen near by the lines of Confederate troops that had fallen back to that point. Gen. Custer had not como back, and, supposing that ho was with tho group at tho courthouse, I moved on a gallop down the narrow ridge, followed by my staff. Tho court house was, perhaps, three-fourths of a rnilo dis tant. We had not gone far before a heavy firo was opened on us from a skirt of timber to our right, and distant not much over 300 yards. I halted for a moment and, taking off my hat, called out that tho flag was being violated, but could not stop the firing, which now caused us all to tako shelter in a ravine running parallel to tho bridgo we were on, and down which we then traveled. As wo approached the court house a gentle ascent had to bo made. I was in advance, followed by a Sergeant carrying my battleflag. Within 100 to 150 yards from the courthouse and Confederate lines somo of the men in their ranks brought down their guns to aim on us, and great effort was made by their officers to keep them from firing. I halt ed, and, hearing somo noise behind, turned in the saddlo and saw a Confederate soldier at tempting to take my battleflag from the Color bearer. This tho Sergeant had no idea of sub mitting to, and had drawn his saber to cut the man down. A word from mo caused him to return hi3 saber and take tho flag back to tho staff officers, who woro somo little distance be hind. I remained stationary aftor these events, then calling a staff officer directed him to go over to the group of Confederate officers aud demand what such conduct meant. Kind apologies were made, and wo advanced. Tho superior officera met were Gen. J. B. Gordon and Gen. Cadmus M. Wilcox, tho latter an old Army officor. As soon as tho first greeting was over a furious firing began in front of our own cavalry, from whom we had only a fow min utes beforo separated. Gen. Gordon seemed to bo somewhat disconcerted by it. I remarked to him, "Gen. Gordon, your men fired on mo as I was coming over bore, and undoubtedly they have done tho same to Morritt's and Cus ter's commands. Wo might just as woll let them fight it out." To this proposition Gen. Gordon did not accede. I then asked, " Why not send a staff officer and havo your people n.fntift iirinrr? Tlnvtr nm lnlnftiifr t.hn flnfr!" He said, "I havo no staff officer to send." I replied, "I will let you havoono of mine," and calling for Lieut. Vaudcrbilt Allen ho was di rected to report to Gen. Gordon and carry his orders. Tho orders were to go to Gen. Geary, who wa3 in command of a small brigade bf South Carolina cavalry, and ask him to discon tinue the firing. Lieut. Allen dashed off with the message, but on delivering ifc to Gen. Geary was taken prisoner, with the Teraark from that officer that he did not care for white flags; that South Caroliuians never surrendered. It was about this timo that Merritt, getting impatient at tho supposed treacherous firing, ordered a charge of a portion of his command. While Geti3. Gordon and Willcox wero engaged in conversation with mo, a. cloud of dust, a wild hurrah, a flashing of sabers, indicated a chargo, and tho ojaculatiousof my staff officers were heard: "Look! Merritt hasordcrcd a chargo!" The Hight of Geary's brigade followed; Lieut. Allen was thus released. The last gun had been fired and the last charge made in tho Virginia campaign. Tast Improvement in 3Iorals. We hnd people talking about political cor ruption as though it were a now thing. Tho historians, on tho contrary, can point to no period and no country in which politics wcro not corrupt. Wo lament tho prevalence of vico; but tho time was, and within a hundred years, too, when vice was fashionable and pop ular, not execrated. Of Charles James Fox, one of tho ablest men in England a hundred years ago, it was truly remarked that ho affected nothing but vice, and tbat he had tho ambition to surpass all men in that particular, as well as in others. He last $700,000 in gambling before ho was 21 years old, and lived in open and notorious vice. But this did not affect his standing in society in the least. It did not prevent his being tho first man in tho Houso of Commons, nor bar his entrance into the Cabiuet, nor lose him the regard of the most virtuous of his contemporaries. Tho progress of decency, too, has been most remarkable. Eighty years ago passages wero printed in popular books aud respectable news papers, nay, read aloud iu respectable families, tho publication of which would now subject the publisher to prosecution. Wc are not sure that poor Richard's Almanac would now bo permitted to bo sold, so Incredibly indecent are are some of its articles. 'But it was a house hold book a hundred years ago. We might continue the enumeration, and show that in every respect man is Better, and better off, now than over ho was before. Bead tho memoirs, biographies, letters, newspapers, al manacs and popular books of the last century, if you would appreciate properly tho much calumniated Nineteenth. N. Y. Ledger. . Curicns Tilings About Eggs. All the world and his cosmopolitan wife and family like new-laid eggs. Nor do we depre cate their tasto; on the contrary, wc share it, Tho relish of eggs is honorable, and to prefer them fresh evinces a due appreciation of the "fitness of things." Tradition runneth not back to the time when eggs iu this condition weio of evil repute, although the use of tho stale variety as a missile has never been popu lar with the recipients. Probably tho antedi luvians wcro fond of eggs, for we aro given to understand that they feasted high; and what would a banquet bo without "the fruit of the hen"? That the Egyptians woro fond of eggs is beyond poradveuturo, for one of our archaeolo gists brought home with him from Egypt somo dozens which had been at least 3,000 years in tho catacombs, having been placed there for tho accommodation of tho mummies, in caso they should wako up and feel peckish. These eggs, cackled over by tho hens that flourished in the time of the early Pharaohs laid prob ably before tho children of IsraoKmade their exodus by way of tho Red Sea wo have soon, and many of them arc as perfect externally as if thoy had been bought in market yesterday; but although Egyptian wheat of tho samo date is said to havo germinated and reproduced it self, wo aro not awaro that any of the eggs of that ilk have been sot upon and hatched. Tho Chinese arc tho greatest ogg-oaters in the world. Thoy raise more poultry than all the other nations of tho earth taken together, and have a way of keeping eggs for 40 years or more in a sound condition. The older the eggs the more valuable they are; and it is a trick of the Chinese grocer to ring iu fresh eggs on his customers wheucver ho can get a chance to cheat thcra in that way.

In order to arrive at perfection, wc should devote ourselves altogether to our business, liko tho cat watching tho mouse, or1 the hen batching her eggs. True knowledge is that which is acquired in or der to govern ourselves, not in order to be known by the world. Every evening we examine the faults of the day in order to corrcx them to-morrow; every day our work progresses; in a month there will be tho work of SO days; every year will havo 3C0 com plelodays; iu this manner we advance in vhtue and knowledge, and wo have delights not to bo de scribed. Of all precious things, none is more precious for men than time. Do not rest even while taking breath. After death we shall rest. Derivation of the Name.

The rrefnee to Ills Story of His Own Tart In tho Great CiTll War. Tho profaco to Gen. Sheridan's Memoirs has been made public, and is as follows: When, yielding to the solicitations of my friends, I finally decided to write thcso memoirs, tho great est dilliculty which confronted mo was that of re counting my share in the ninny notable events of the last thrco decades in which I played n part, without entering too fully into the history of those years, and at tho sarao linjo without giving: my own nets nn unmerited prominence. To whnt ex tent 1 havo oycrcomo the difficulty I must leave tho reader to judge. In offering this record, penned by my own hand, of the events of my life, and of my participation in our great struggle for Nntlonnl existence, human liberty and political equality, I make no pretension to literary merit; tho importance of the subject matter of my narrative is my only claim on tho renders' attention. Respectfully dedicating tills work to my com-r.idoH-in-arms during tho war of tho rebellion, I leave it asn heritage to mvchildrcn.nnd as nsoureo L of information for the future historian. Signed P. II. Shkridak. Nonqoitt, Mass., Aug. 2, 18SS. Col. S. E. Blount, Gen. Shoridan's Chief Aid-de-camp, in transmitting tho manuscript of tho preface to tho publishers, wrote uudor date of Nouquitt, Aug. 8, as follows: I inclose herewith the preface for Gen. Sheridan's Memoirs, dated Nonquitt, Mass., Aug. 2, 1S8S. Tho General gave It his last attention, and finally re vised and signed it on that day, although it was firat drafted in Washington May 33. when he fin ished revising the complete manuscript of tho work. The copy I inclose vns made by mc from tho original, bearing the General's own signature, which original Col. Sheridan has permitted me to retain. 9 A MIND OVERTHRO'WN. Sad Instances or Eccentricity on tho Tart of Kirs. Stowc. Harriot Bcecher Stowo has been removed from her long-time residence at Hartford to a farmhouse near Sag Harbor, L. I. Her health has becomo alarmingly bad, and this decline 3 accompanied by mental eccentricity. Always original and characteristic, sho has now become so peculiar that her relatives deem it best to keep her in retirement for awhile. That sho will recover from her physical illness is not doomed likely, but her immediato demiso is not looked for. Tho decrepitudo of old ago has como upon her. She is stopping at the resi dence of Capt. Lewis Corwin, an acquaintance of half a lifetime and a brother of ono of tho lato Henry Ward Beecher's stalwart parish ioners. Sho is almost 76 years old. Until a few years ago she retained her mental power to a sur prising degree, but latterly it has declined, and now she is littlo like hor former self. An over estimate of her famous book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," has grown upon her, until she is unde niably possessed of delusions. Her principal hallucination is that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was as divinely inspired a work as tbo Bible; that sho was merely a medium through which God expressed his condemnation of human slavery. California Land Frauds. J. W. Whitson, Co. E, 13th Iowa, Selma, Colo., writes to denounce the frauds in California lands that aro boing advertised in many papers. Ho is especially denunciatory of ono which offers to sell lands in Shelbyville, Fre3no Co. While there is much good land in Fresno County, tlioro is a great deal that is worthless. In ouo instance a lady who had invested all her money in land and in her passage to Shelby ville, arrived tlicro without a cent, and the charitable people of tho neighborhood had to make up a purse to send her back homo. He does not wish that any of tho comrades should be defrauded by this suspicious advertisement. Campaign supplies. Write for free Price List to E. A. Armstrong, Detroit Mich. SCIENTIFIC CHAT. A. M". Pitman, an Englishman, of Canton, China, recently bought a. sow with sis legs. The front part of tho body ia simplc that Is, tho ani mal has one head, ono thorax and two front legs. Behind, all tho organs are double it having two trunks, two tails and four hind legs. The French Consul at Canton persuaded Mr. Pitman to let him have this strange creature for the Paris Museum of Natural History, whero it may lie seen. It is white, with great black spots, and appears to be in perfect health. Tho separation of tho two trunks seems to begin after tho dorsal vertebra;: but the animal is so fat that this cannot lo precisely determined. Tho Intcrnntional Congress of Americanists will lioui its seventh session in Berlin from the 2d to the 0th of October next. The Organizing Com mittee bus just issued tho program. Precedence will be given to questions relating to tho discovery of the New World, to thp history of America before the time of Columbus, and to American geology. The Towa Stato Board of Health says, in one of its monthly bulletins: "Said a father who was re turning from a Summer resort, "where he buried four lovely children, who died of dlptheria, the re sult of defective drainage and polluted water: 'That hotel-keeper is as guilty of murder of my children as though he had shot them with a revol ver.' As a matter of justice the father was right, but in law, probably not; but the law ought to bo such as to hold the keeper of a hotel or a public re sort responsible for tho healthy condition of his premises, and liable for neglect to provide pure air and water for his guests." A firm of watchmakers in london, who have studied into the causes of tbe breaking of the main springs of watches, say that "unreflecting people fancy tney liavo broken tliespring by over-winding, or in other words havo drawn asunder a piece of steel by the forco of linger and thumb. But tho springs breal: through a subtle molecular change produced in the steel by atmospli eric causes. They usually fly nsnnder a few hours after being wound. at 3 or 1 o clot-k in the morning. Many watches and clocks como to tho workshops for new springs after a frost, but not until a thaw basset in; tslill more come after thunder-storms." Tho British ileilical Joutnal strongly advocates the drinking of water at meals, and especially be foro breakfast. It says that "when ingested during meals, wuter may do good by washing out the di gested food and by exposing the undigested part more thoiougbly to the action of tho digestive fer ments." and enumerates quite a catalog of benctits to be derived by drinking water at meals. The Philadelphia Medical llecord says " the vaga ries of tho appetite are far beyond tho explanatory science of physiology. We cannot tell why this thing agrees with this individual, and at the same time utterly destroys his brother. Tho writer has met Brazilians who rave over boa con strictor steaks, and count monkeys and parrots a very good meal. In tho West Indies baked snake is a common dish. A curry of ants' eggs is a great delicacy in Siam, and tho Cingalese cat the bees whoso honey they have stolen." FOR THE LADIES.

At the camp-meeting in Douglns, Mass., tho other dny n man arose and said that ho was a re cently escaped convict from tho Rhode Island Stato Pribon, that ho hnd determined to lead a better life, and that as a beginning he should go back to the prison nnd serve the remainder of his term. The prison Chaplain was present and heard him, and knowing something of humnn nature, helped the convict in his good resolution by telephoning for officers nnd capturing him before lie weakened.

(Continued from 1st page.) origin and proverbially ignorant, while those of Harry had como all the way from Iowa, audhad tho benefit of a Northern training. Whilo tho Northern mules might bo supposed to havo a thrist for travel that would make geographical facts sink doep into thoir hearte, thoso of tho more southern Stato were content to remain in thoir ignorance, and, like Jeff Davis, " all they asked ws to be let alone." " You'ro saying that in joke, of course," re marked tho Quartermaster when Jack ex plained the reason of tho difference in tbe animals of tho two States. "But let me tell you," ho continued, "that you're nearer fact than you supposo. 'Like master like man ' is an old adage, and why shouldn't a Missouri mulo he like a Missouri man? As a general thing the Missouri people have opposed every thing ihat tended to the development of tho Stato. I refer to the 3laveholding portion, or those "who sympathize with slavery, though thoy may havo no slaves of their own." "How was that?" "Thoy wero afraid it would interfere with their system of slavery, as they saw it would bring in a population that believed in freedom instead of tho old state of things. When the Buttcrfield Overland Stage Liue was established from St. Louis to California they tried all they could to slop it; they declared it wasn't need ed ; and they did tho same when the Western Union Telegraph Co. wanted to build a liue across the State. They opposed the railways that have been built in various parts of the State, and for thesarae reason, notwithstanding the fact that the railways would make their land more valuable by bringing them nearer a market. I havo lived in Missouri and know what I'm talking about. "Education has always been mnch more backward in the South than in the North, as everybody knows, aud it is the system of slavery that caused this backwardness. Travel through tho Northern Status and you see a schoolliouse in every village and almost at every crossroad, but in the South you may go hundreds of miles withoutseeing a schoolliouse. This ono fact speaks volumes in itself aud illustrates the conditions growing out of slavery on tno ono hand and ireeuom on tho other. A people that do not want education do not want railways and telegraphs, or anything else that indicates progress. Only when the South gots rid of slavery will ifc wake up and adopt tho institutions of the North." BegaTding tho South in tho light of tho pres ent day, the word3 uttered by the Quarter master may bo regarded as prophetic. It is only since the war wiped away tbe stain of slavery that tho Soutiiorn States havo vied with tho North in developing their resources and have sought to have a really intelligent population. Before tho war education was con liued chiefly to tho rich or the well-to-do, the majority of tho poor whites being but little above the negro in the scalo of intelligence. Thousands on thousands of them were unable to read or write, and tiioso who could do so had littlo knowledge of the rest of the world. Our young friends had frequeufc opportuni ties to test tho intelligence of the natives of tho region through which they were traveling, and many of their experiences wero amusing. Ono day they talked with a farmer who had an impression tbat St. Louis was tho largest city in tho world, aud practically the only one. He had heard of New York and Chicago, hut had no clear idea of their location except that they were somewhere in tho North, and did not believe they amounted to much anyway. Ho thought Abraham Lincoln was a black man, who had somehow been made President of tho United States by the Abolitionists, and if his armies succeeded In conquering the South tho Government would be altogether in the hands of the blacks, who would speedily pro ceed to enslave tho rest of the population and " havo white men for niggers." Several times they talked with men and women who were much surprised to find the Yankee soldiers were whito men ; they had expected to see only negroes, aud especially thought it strange that tho officers were white instead of black. A woman at whose houso they stopped to get a drink of water said sho didn't mind tho whito soldiers, but when it camo to tho Black Republicans she wouldn't bo ablo to enduro them. " Why, we aro Black Eepublicans, madam ; or would bo if wo could vote, said Jack. No, you can't be," was tho reply ; " you're just as vrhito as vre-'uns if you'd only wash your faces." Tho boys good natnretlly enlightened her on fcho subject by explaining that the term "Blacfc Eepublicans" was a derisive one, which the Democrats had applied to the llepublican party, and had no reference to the complexion of those who voted the Eepublicau ticket. They were not sure that they had convinced her, though thoy certainly raised doubts iu her mind when sho saw the hundreds aud thou sands of men that marched tmst the place, and all of them anything but negroes. Another timo they were less successful, as tho native whom they sought to instruct pointed triumphantly to the colored servant of ono of the oilicers, who was mounted on a spare horse belonging to his employer. " Dou't talk to me that way," was tho angry retort, " when there's one of your Generals, a regular nigger, on a black horse." The joke was too good to be kept, and that evening it was circulated through the camp. It caused a good doal of laughter, and for some days tbe servaut who had been the innocent cause of the mistake was addressed by his as sociates as " General." There was no fighting on tho march from Boonevillo to Springfield, as tho Stato forces under Gov. Jackson and Gen. Price were on thoir lino of march considerably farther west, and had a good start. They were being fol lowed by a column from Leavenworth, uuder commaud of Maj. Sturgis, but tho pursuers wero not able to overtake them, being delayed at the crossing of a river which lay on their route. It had been hoped that the rebels would bo caught between tho two columns of Sturgis and Sweeney, and if they had been thus caught thero was au excellent chance of a "Union vic tory. As tho days woro on after the arrival of the Union forces at Springfield, tho most impor tant town of southwestern Missouri, the situa tion became critical. It was known that Gen. Price had formed a camp at Cowskin Prairie, near the southwest corner of tho State, to wait for the leinforcoments that were promised by the Confederacy, and it was soon learned that these roiuforcements had arrived aud Price was about to move ou Springfield. Altogether Gen. Lyon htfd about 6,000 men under his command, but many ot them wero enlisted for only three months; the expiration of tho timo of somo of them was fast approach ing, and others were already free to go homo. Gen. Fremont had heeu placed in command of the department, and to him Gen. Lyon sent an earnest appeal for reiuforcements, saying he would be compelled to retreat unless troops wero sent to him. The desired troops were promised, hut before they started the rebels threatened Cairo, in Illinois, aud the regiments destined for Gen. Lyon were sent thero in stead of going to southwestern Missouri, as originally intended. Lyon was receiving no reiuforcements, while Price was gaining iu strength and addiug to tho effectiveness of his meu. About the 20th of July Lyon's forco was weakened by the de parture of two regiments of three-mouths meu whoso timo had expired, whilo tho timo of the 1st Iowa (tho regiment to which. Jack and Harry wore attached) would bo out oarly in August. No wonder Gen. Lyon was troubled in mind, and that he sent urgent appeals to Geu. Fremont for immediate aid. News camo that the rebels were advancing upon Springfield and that a great battle was imminent. Jack and Harry wero jubilant at tho promise of fighting, but older ones shook thoir heads and looked serious. Tho Secession inhabitants of Springfield wero rejoicing over tho prospect of soou boiug rid of their Yankee visitors; they could not conceal their delight, and this circumstance convinced the thought ful ones among the Unionists that the coming clash of arms would be anything but a light one. To be conlintcedj G.A.Ii. 3Iap of Wisconsin. Col. E. B. Gray, Past Adjutant-General, G.A.R., and now Assistant Adjutant-Gonorai of the Department of Wisconsin, has gotten out an admirablo map of thostato of Wisconsin, which shows the location of all tho Posts by numbers and tho inspection districts, which are numbered and colored. Tho Department Commander will appoint an Assistant Inspector for each of theso inspection districts, snd by that means it is expected to no ablo to infuse greater activity into the administration of tho j .districts and tho Posts.
