A GREAT CONFEDERATE CAMPAIGN.
The “ Record* of the Rebellion,”
U„w being publisljed by the War De.
pjriment, show in their last number
vcrv valuable unwritten history and
ft turning crisis in the late war. The
last issue contains some six or seven
urgent letters from General Long-
9lrr et in East Tennessee in Novem-
t, er 1803, addressed to the Confedr
prate Secretary of War, wherein Gen*
eral Longstrcet entreats that every
available saddle and other supplies
l, e sent him, and that he woold

and send part of hiB army to save
Cincinnati, Chicago and other Wes
tern cities, while the balance went
to the trenches around Washington
City, leaving Gen. Lee foot-loose to
go where he pleased.
The study of such movements do
not revive unpleasant and bitter war
memories, but they are instructive
to vindicate the truth of history.
Gen. Hood has been terribly abased

rouU! easily capture Louisville and
Cincinnati and seriously threaten
Chicago, where many thousands ol
Con federates were in prison at Rock
Island. The evidence shows that the
lYdcrals would have beeu and were
wholly unprepared for such a move,
incut iu 1803, It would have been
really a formidable invasion of tbe
West and resulted in the entire re-
capture of Tennessee and Kentucky,
with over a hundred thousand fresh
mruits to the Southern army, ami
Lav’s army would have been abund
antly supplied with the corn, wheat
and meat from those two rich States.
Miermnu’s “march to tbe sea” nev
er would have been undertaken, be
cause Sherman never began organ
izing hi* army for the Dalton cam
paign until the spring of 1S64, and
L mgstruel wanted to execute his
plan in November, 1863,which would
have frustrated all of General Sher
man's designs on Dalton, Atlanta am*
Savannah. Cumberland Gap was
unguarded, and once through that
gs'eway to the West there was no;
an organized army between Long-
streetand Cincinnati and Chicago.
l/Higst reel’s purpose was with his
army mounted on mules to rapidly
make a forward march, subsisting on
the country as be went, and by the
time he got well into Kentucky, he
would have bad plenty of supplies
and his army would have been swell
ed to at least sixty thousand men,
and it would have taken the Federals
months to organize an army to meet
this force, as was shown by Sher
man’s movements a few months later.
Over a year afterwards, in December
iNd, Gen. Hood attempted ihesame
movement Longstreet had urged in
November 1863, but the conditions
'ate in 1864 were vastly different
bom those directly after the brilliant
victory of Chickamanga. Atlanta

Frankfort, Aug. 2. 1891
Dbar M.—On Monday just after
breakfast w« went to the manufactory
of music boxes. Every kind of box
you can think of is fn this place, and
every thing in the place i^a music box.
I picked up a water pitcher to examine,
when it began to play. I raised the top
of an inkstand and it began to play.
On picking up a punch bowl I was sur
prised io hear the strains of “Never get
drunk any more” issuing forth. Soon 1
was tired and sat in a chair near by,
when lo, that began to play also. 1 be
gan u> think if 1 should touch the clerk
he would play too. But he is a lesson—
this music man. He is so paralyzed
that he has to drag himself around and
yet he is as cheerful as can be, and says
he always looks od the bright side of
life and makes the best of everything.
The morning before we left Geneva he
came around on his tricycle and
brought us a little basket of what he
called “stones from the bottom of the
lake.” They did look exactly like
those little round pebbles but proved to
be candy. After we had beard almost
every thing in his store play we went
to tbe other stores and then to Fernay,
Voltaire’s home, and saw tbe little blue
satin bedstead in which he died and tho
church which he had built to God. This
place is occupied now and the grounds
are beautifully kept. We rode back
along tbe lake past the villa of tbe
Rothschilds. Next day at twelve we
lett Geneva for Interlaken, crossing the
lake which was very pretty—what I
saw of it. There was a little girl on the
boat just the size of 8 and I played
with her most of the lime. It made me
real homesick. At Lucerne, we saw
Thorwaldsen’s Lion. This was cut
from tbe solid rock to commemorate the
bravery of the Swiss Guard in defend
ing the Tuileries. It is beauti
fully done and tbe expression is perfect.
We then went to the church to see the
creat organ which is said to be tbe best
in the world; we were very anxious to
hear it played but the hour for that was
not until six o’clock and we left before
that time for Rhigi Kulm. Here we
almost froze, and then we didn’t see
the sun rise, but we went up, for we en
joyed the inclined railway, and cours
ing down tbe next morning we had a
very pretty view. I wrote T all
about Schaffbausen where we spent the
next day and night, and from which
place we went to Heidelburg. On the
train that day we were in the same car

and two boys. One of the boys was

I must tell you something of the
University of Heideburg. It does not
run on looks, for tbe buildings are not
near so pretty as our University buil
dings and nothing to compare with Ox
ford. We went into the prisons where
the boys who misbehave are put, and
each boy who is imprisoned has to
leave his picture in there; those who
are not able to draw and paint them on
the nail have to leave their photo
graphs. On the stairs leading to the
prison tbe walls are terribly defaced
with a long string of cats and such
notice as “A minute and a half to the
prison” etc. Bismark’s son left his
photograph inside of the room. An
American too had tbe misfortune of
staying in these departments for
awhile. He painted bis picture
above the door and underneath it
he drew the American
coat-of-arms with the words
•‘Where is that happy land, Far, far
away,” on it, and some Americans had
written in pencil “Friends from that
happy land, Grieve old boy and hear it,
and other things. The day before
we armed at Heidelberg seven duels
were fought among the students, they
say that they have duels on the slightest
pretense and almost every boy bears
scar. To the boy who wins three times
and gets no scars, a ribbon of three fra
ternity colors is given him and he is
uite a hero. We went out to the
ueiling hall and saw the swords and
caps with which they fight. We could
not go inside tbe hall because, for some
reason, the students were eating dinner
in there; each one had on a cap of
different colored paper, and when we
went to the window to look "in, which
the guide told us to do, they got up and
came to the windows and yelled and
sang; of course we left as Boon as we
saw them looking at us, and were al
most out when the yelling began, but 1
thought it was very rude m them.
The Castle ot Heidelberg, or the
schools as it is called, is said to be the
most picturesque ruin in Europe. It is
situated up ou a very high hill and we
got a beautiful view of the city from
there
To show how strongly built it was
when the French tried to blow it up in
1689 it was not shattered, but an im
mense piece of one the towers fell off.
On one of the corner stones is the
scription, in German of course, which
translated is, “sleep on old castle, the
French will no more harm you, for all
Germany will keep watch ov«r you.”
That is the guide’s trans
lation, for you know,
I could not understand a word of. it.
In the wine.cellar of this castle is the
largest tun in the world. It has been
filled twelve times and holds 2SO,000
bottles, or 49,000 gallons of wine. We
walked up the steps to the top, and
there is a platform on top that is as
large as our back porch. By this tun
is a dock made by tbe jester of an an
cient king. You are told to wind it up
but as soon as you begin winding, tbe
door flies open and a fox’s
tail flies in your face.
The statue of tbe jester is
right by the clock with a glass of wine
in bis hand.
We rode up to the top of Koenigsturl
and had another lovely view of the
C We reached Frankfurt last nigh, and
were afraid for a while that we could
not get a place to stay. First we went
to the hotel d’Angleteore,and could find
no room, then we went to the Fran-
furtuhof and they couldn’t accommo
date us, and finally wo came to this
place, Hotel Rcenoischer Kaiser, where
we are staying in the reading room,
six in a room; but it is a lot of Inn, even
if it is not very convenient I enjoy it.'
The reason why everything is so
crowded, there is an electrical exposi
tion going on here. Last - night
Mr. Door, whom we met again, took us
out to it. The grounds were beaut
ifully lighted . up with, different
kinds of lights and flowerbeds were
made of Incandescent lights. On one
side was a waterfall made to dash over
artificial rooks and colored lights
thrown on it. But we had seen the ex-
uisite falls of the Rhine and so we
idn’t linger long over these. But
where I should have liked to spend
days is the Palmengarten or in English
Palm Garden I thought the flowers in
the Botanical garden at Liverpool
beautiful, but they are nothing to
these. The most exquisite roses, and
Princes feathers and even “old maids”
which are trimmed down to the ground
and allowed to grow only four inches
high—all beautiful. The best beer in
Germany is to be had here. I took a

Sensational Trial in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Aug. 14.—The superior
court in this city is engaged with the
trial of Dr. M. C. Martin, fourth ward
physician, who is charged with leading
astray Katie Brogan, aged 15. It is oc
cupying the attention of the entire pub
lic, and the court hall is crowded with
people anxious to keep up with the pro
ceedings.
Excursionist* Visit Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ang. 14.—Atlanta was cap
tured by 243 excursionists, who spent
several hours seeing the principal points
of interest in the city. The party is
made up of members of the Cincinnati
Enquirer clnb, representing twenty-one
states. About one hundred of the mem
bers are ladies.
The burden of all conversation on the
streets just now is the extreme tight
ness of the money market.
The collectors travel the streets, up
and down and across and through eve
ry by way, and yet it can’t be collect
ed. ' . '
What is going to become of the coun
try? That is the question that
seeks an answer on every baud-
The scarcity ot money is. terrible, and
the fact that within the last thirty days
the government has withdrawn over
60 millions from circulation,, leads one
to believe that the bottom has about
dropped out of the money market.
A Banner reporter determined to in
vestigate the true condition of tbe
money market and the outlook for the
future, and went to see a gentleman
who is one of the most prominent cit
izens of Athens.
He was oue of tbe citizens who 'by
dint of hard work and perseverance and
shrewd business judgment had become
one of the wealthiest citizens of Athens
and one of her most successful business
men.
His opinion on this subject is worth
a great deal, as he is a man of keen
foresight and judgment.
lie said: “The money market is very
tight at present and the amount of
money in circulation is very small. Of
course this means less business done
and more hardships to endure.”
“Do you think the market will get
tighter at an early date or during the
fall?”
“No, I do not. Tbe money market is
as tight now as it can be. it cannot be
come any worse than it is.”
“Then you look for better times
soon ?”
“No, I do not think things will be in
better shape for the next thirty or six
ty days. The first evidenue of a better
feeling in financial circles you will see
will be when the growing crops are
brought to market.
When crops are sold, money will get to
circulating, and the market will become
loosened to certain extent. A fifty
dollar debt paid with the money re
ceived from cotton and corn will go to
another man in payment of a debt and
then to another and on down the line.
The more crops that are sold, tbe more
debts will be paid and tbe rosier will
become the state of affairs.”
“Then you do not believe the bottom
will drop out of the money market this
fall.” No, I do not, for as I have said
before the financial condition of the
ehuntry is as bad now as it can possibly
l look for better times during the
fall.”
Wbat is the financial condition of
Athens merchants?”
Considering the general depression
it is remarkably good.”
“Do you think there will be many
failures here this fall?”
No, 1 do not, as the Athens mer
chant* are prepared for this tightness,
having economized in every direction.
~ think they will all pull through the
year.”

Moulton, la., Aug. 14.—The two
children of Albert White had a thrill

A pack of wolves got after them and
chased them some distance and but for

might have overpowered them.

Topeka, Ang. 13.—Frank McGrath,
president of the Farmers* Alliance, has
returned from a trip through the state.
He says there is a large amount of wheat
being held by farmers with the expect
ation that the price will materially ad

in progress, and will last till Ang. 21.
The warriors belonging to the snake or
der have already gone into the snake
camp, or underground caves prepared
for them. They have taken snakes of
all kinds with them, and will not seeth*
sun or a human face outside of their or
der till Aug. 21. At that time the Order
of the Antelope will put on gala attire
and get on the housetops to welcome the
snake dancers. The 800 warriors be
longing to that order will come out of
the estufa, and, with the reptijee wound
around their necks and in their mouths,
they will engage in the most peculiar of
all Indian ceremonies. At the close of
the performance the snakes will betakes
to the river and Bet at liberty. The gov-
ernment'has interfered, and this 1
