J"VIE first 'wk la November.
H 1802. f'und the late antag
onltttn In Maryland playing a
new game on the checker
board of war. Lee's Army of Northern
Virginia on retiring from the rotomuc
line after its defi-nt at Antletam march
ed Into the Shenandoah valley, 'cov
ered." in the military sense, by the
Blue Uldtfo mountain range. The Fed
eral Army of the Potomac, still under
the leadership of General George B.
McClellan, vn marching on the oppo
site or eastern side of the mountains
In the direction which Lee must nec
essarily take on retiring from the val
ley, an Inevitable move under the cir
cumstances. Lee's movements were further "cov
ered" by th- skillful handling of 2,000
cavalry by ;'iieral "Jeb" Stuurt Re
tiring before u superior foe. Stuart's
troops luaile a brief stand at every gap
before him. Bot to make sure that Lee
should not tret the advantage the main
part of his army was headed In the di
rection of the npner TSnppnhnnno-k.
This movement In effect placed the
Army of the Potomac between the two
halves of the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, farther separated by the Blue
Ridge, for Lee. with Longstreet's corps,
had moved to Culpeier, south of the
Rappahannock, as soon as It was seen
that McClellan was advancing east of
the Blue Ridge, and Jackson was still
In the Shenandoah, distant several
days' march.
Lincoln Eemoves McClellan.
On that very day. Nov. 5, the presi
dent with his own hand wrote the fol
lowing order:
Executive Mansion, Washington.
By direction of the president It is or
dered that Major General McClellan be
relieved from the command of the Army
of the Potomac and that Major General

On to the Rappahannock.
It whs unltiru! thiit the Confederates
should fall b.i' U ii the henauduah
valley toward the llappnhniiiiock river
In order to shorten the Hue of commu
nications with Klchmoud. Sheltered
by the mouutaln wall east-ward, Lee
might divide his army the better to
cover points threatened by McClellan,
and the latter kept his own force In
hand, ready to penetrate between
Lee's divided columns In case he
should separate them for any cause
whatever.
P'.easonton's cavalry scouts discov
ered that I.ee's infantry was marching
southward west of the Blue Ridge as
Ht as SttiHrt retired east of the moun
tains. It wa plain that Lee could not
be caught In the upper part of the
Shennndouh valley. McClellan there
fore hastened tils columns forward to
the center of that vast area lying east
of the Blue Ridge between the Poto
mac nnd the Rnppabnnnock. By
throwing his left wing well to the east
lcClellan reached out for the Orange
and Alexandria railroad as a means of
upplylug his army. This road brought
the needed army atores from Wash
ington to the front.
The Orange and Alexandria rallnoad
crosses tfce Eappahnnnock, and, al
though the track hnd been destroyed
by the Confederates to a great extent.
It was In condition for easy repair and
would serve the amy In case McClel
lan should advance beyond the Rappa
hannock toward Richmond. Once the
Army of the Potomac was planted on
the mil rood route McClellan bad three
plans for the future campaign against
Lee from which to choose, ne could
pass the Rappahannock at Fredericks
burs; and move upon Richmond direct;
he could cross the river north of Fred
ericksburg and force I.ee back toward
GordonsvlKe. thus avoiding the risk of
havluff to attack him on the heights at
Ftvderleksbunr. or he could transfer
his army to the James river again for
attack uon Richmond from the south.
By Nov. 5 McCIellan's advance was
at Wrnvnton, near the old battlefield
of July. IS'11. and August. With
bis army concentrated at that point
and the rallrottd in working order he
could adopt either of the three plana
of "our Vlsl LT I very pleasantly ' said
that I 'should be glad to learn It.
Whereupon Buckingham banded me
the two orders of which he was the
bearer.
"I aaw that both, especially Buck
ingham, were watching me most In
tently while I opened and read the
orders. I read the papers with a
smile, immediately turned to Burnside
and said, 'Well, Burnside, I turn the
command over to you."" !
The movements of troops that bad
already been begun were completed on
the 8th and 9th at General Bornaide'a
request, but there the execution of
General McCIellan's plans stopped.
Burnside turned to the left and massad
his army on the Rappahannock, oppo
site Fredericksburg; Lee conformed to
this movement, called in Jackson, and
concentrated on the opposite heights.
On the 10th McClellan bade farewell
to the army of the Potomac. As be
rode between the lines, formed almost
of their own accord to do honor for
the last time to their beloved comman
der, grief and disappointment were on
every face and manly tears stood in
many an eye that bad learned to look !
on war without a tremor.
"History," he said to the officers
who crowded around him "history will
do justice to the Army of the Potomac
even if the present generation does
not I feel as if I had been Intimately
connected with each and all of you.
Nothing is more binding than the
friendship of companionships in arms.
May you all in future preserve the
high reputation of our army and serve
all as. well and faithfully as you have
served me."
Excitement Among the Troops.
On the 11th, at Warrenton Junction,
he entered with his staff a railroad
train that was about to start toward
Washington. Here there was station
ed a detachment of 2,000 troops. They
were drawn np in line, and a salute
was fired. The men then broke their
ranks, surrounded the car in which he
was seated, uncoupled it from the train
and ran it back, insisting wildly that
he should not leave them and utter
ing the bitterest Imprecations against
those who had deprived them of their
beloved commander.
The scene has been described by an
officer who was present "as one of
fearful excitement The moment was
critical. One word, one look of encour
agement the lifting of a finger, would
have been the signal for a revolt
against lawful authority the conse
quences of which no man can measure.
McClellan stepped upon the front plat
form of the car, and there was InBtant
silence." His address was short It
ended In the memorable words. "Stand
by General Burnside as you bare stood
by me and all will be wel." The
soldiers were calmed. They rolled the
car onward, reooupled it to the train
and with one long and mournful huzza
bade farewell to their late commander.
In all that these brave men did, in
all thnt they suffered, and great were

sion to attack its garrison on Not. 6.
ne moved with 4.000 infantry and an
equal number of troopers, but just as the
advance column engaged the Federal
pickets Forrest received a peremptory
order to abandon the attack. Ten days
later Rosecrans main army began. to
march in and Nashville was out of
danger.
In Virginia the cavalry which led the
march of the Army of the Potomac
toward the Rappahannock pushed on
to the bank of the river. On the 8th
Bayard's brigade reached the railroad
bridge near Fredericksburg. Next day
the dashing Captain Ulric Dahlgren, at
the head of sixty troopers of the First
Indiana cavalry, crossed into the town
by an obscure and unguarded ford.
The place was ostensibly defended by
the Fifteenth Virginia cavalry. How
ever, the Virginians' were scattered
through streets in small groups and no
show of discipline. After n brief Rklr
mlsh with those who disputed the
ground Dahlgren rode away with
forty prisoners. A Confederate court
of inquiry "gat upon" this affair and
decided that Dahlgren'B easy success
was due to the demoralization of the
Virginians.
A LEGAL LEGEND.
Daily United States Weather Map
The Tale of Telling Comparison In
an Oriental Court.
When Abd-el-Hakk was poor, as be
was one day traveling across a weary
plain, be came to the bouse of the
Widow Zaldah. who was also poor, but
when he made known his hunger she
set before him two hard boiled eggs,
all the food there was in her house.
Later, when Abd-el-Hakk lived In
Marakesh and was very rich, Meludi,
the lawyer, disliking him, persuaded
the Widow Zaldah to sue him for the
eggs, but not for the eggs alone, for
they would have become two chickens,
which In time would have so multiplied
that the whole fortune of Abd-el-Hakk
would not now pay for them. When
the case came to trial the rich man was
not in court
"Why is the defendant not here?" de
manded the judge.
"Mj lord," said counsel for the de
fense, "he is gone to sow boiled beans.
"Boiled beans?"
"Boiled beans, my lord."
"Is he mad?"
"He is very wise, my lord. Surely if
bard boiled eggs can be hatched boiled
beans will grow."
The salt was promptly dismissed,
with costs to the plaintiff. Pearson's

would proceed rapidly to Fredericks

General McClellan bad already di
rected that a train of pontoons for
bridging the river be forwarded at
once. The boats were then Nov. 6
in a bridge on the Potomac, near Har
pers Ferry. The history of the move

train. Burnside waited for the boats.
There were but few Confederates In
Fredericksburg, and its seizure would
have been an easy matter. In fact, nei
