8 "NOBLE OLD JOE" JOHNSTON NEXT IN HONOR TO LEE To the Kditor of The Journal: In an article written for your paper not long since the writer, speaking of the ar my Os Tennessee, uses the expression. “With never a commander in whom they had entire confidence." I hoped that some abler pen than mine would be taken up in defense of our be loved General Joseph E. Johnston. The ■kill displayed by Johnston in successful ly falling back from one position to an other between Dalton and Atlanta, wit It an army against him more than twice as large as his own. has been complimented in every history written since the war. I was with the army of Tennessee every day of this campaign and if there was any lack of confidence I do not remember hear ing any expression of it. On the con trary. we all felt that our commander knew what he was doing, that he careful ly looked after every detail, and 1t was a favorite saying of the boys that -Joe Johnston fell back from Dalton to Atlan ta and never lobt a wagon spoke.” No one of us can over forget that sad day when the erder was read removing Johnston and placing Hood in command. Our president yielded to the clamor of “ehlmney corner" generals and ' penny-a- An Incident of First Manassas. I have been much In tereated tn reading your close call communications. As I served three years In the Federal army tn front of General Robert E. Lee it will be conceded that I have personal knowledge of many movements and con flicts and am frequently amused at how different things will appear from different points of view. I am prompted to write this from a few lines tn last week's Journal by W. H. Andrews. We both traanped on the same ground at Antietam, or Sharpsburg, and I think he tells a very straight story for "only a priwate.” Mr Andrews In his article says: "I saw a wounded Federal sitting on the ground, and leaning against a tree. I decided I would approach him and when within 15 feet of him a shell burst between us. I dodged and he laughed. He was shot in the thigh and had ripped up his clothing and was pouring water on the wound from his canteen. He told me he was the color hearer of the First Minnesota regiment and had carried the .flag at the first Man atees and up to the present time, but said he: ‘Some of the boys were too sharp for me this morning.* He gave me a newspa per published in his own town.

I belonged to Company D. Phillips Legion, and that legion led the assault on that fort that was full of Yankee*. We were formed in line at the foot of the hill; to the fort we went, but be fore we got there men fell right and left, killed and wounded near the fort. The Fed era Is had telegraph wires stretch ed around stobe and stumps: the wires being six or eight Inches from the ground, and put there to trip our men up. They served their purpose to a great extent, but I saw them and stepped over them. The Confederate officers tried to command th» men to right and left flank of the fort, but the men were confused and could not be controlled. Some of them went In the ditch, some lying down and some standing near the ditch I got as Close to the ground as I could. While there two of our men fell on me. killed or ■rounded and filled my clothes with blood. __ ' ‘ •• Stoneman sTtaid. < • ' .« • «♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦<•♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦< 111» A recent writer in The Journal said: ••General Williams, of Kentucky, pursued General Stoneman when he made his raid on Macon.” This was a mistake. It was Brigadier Genera! Iverson who pursued Stoneman. The same writer says General Stoneman made his escape and succeeded in reach ing the Federal lines. This was also a mistake General Stoneman was captured with several hundred of his men by Gen eral Iverson. 13 miles north of Macon, in Jones county, near where now to located the town of Round Oak. General Stone man's raid would have been a complete success but for the failure of another raid which started out simultaneously with his on Sherman's right. This latter raid came to grief somewhere west of Griffin, having been completely defeated and most of the command captured. I am sorry I eannot think of the Confederate officer who defeated and captured this raid. Ths two raids were to unite at Macon and Miscellsneoua. HOW TO GET A K.M WATCH FOR M cent*.

Who of us can forget the enthusiasm which Joe Johnston’s presence aroused in our hearts as we passed him sitting on his horse near Bentonville. N. C., with head uncovered, bowing to the small remnant of the noble army which he had left only a few months before? Although orders had been given that no noise must be made every soldier shouted as he passed the grand old hero. On the evening of the 19th of March. 1865. the few who were left fought well against the advance troops of General Sherman, and could General Johnston have called back this well organised army which he had left in July before he would, no doubt, have treated Sherman's victorious legions to a genuins surprise. We yield to no one in our admiration for General Robert E. Lee. But the sur vivors of the army of Tennessee will al ways keep green the memory of "nobls old Joe,” and insist that, as he was next in rank, so should he be held always as next in honor to General Lee.

He is now living and stumps about on a cork leg at Still water, Minn. I would like to witness a meeting be tween Messrs. Andrews and Bloomer. Perhaps modesty prevented Mr. Andrews from telling the whole story. The First Minnesota was the extreme right regiment of Sumner's attack on the morning of September 17. On the ground of our extreme advance Sergeant Bloom er was wounded. The Confederates broke our line to our left, which enabled them to flank our whole brigade. If not our di vision. to the rear. The Confederates then formed line upon the ground we had occupied, and. as Mr. Andrews saye. soon found it pretty hot. However hot it was, the Georgia boys found time to give at tention to the color bearer, wounded and a prisoner. They built a little breastworks to protect him from the bullets we were firing at them. I suspect that W. H. Andrews was one of those boys. Don’t you believe Sam would hug him? Sergeant Bloomer and myself were mem bers of the same company and I have this story from him. JOHN B. STEVENS. Co. B, First Minn. Infantry. Fltsgerald, Ga. The Tanks would poke their guns over the fort and shoot, and it was said that they threw their picks, shovels, axes, etc., over on our men. I laid there for some time and after a while two of our men jumped up and said, "All of our men are gone; let us get away from here boys.” I did not know until then that the majority of our men had retreated. I don’t know whether those two men got out or net; I remembered to have heard that some of Burnside's men would kill prisoners, so I concluded to get away if I could. I started with my gun in hand, down the hill, stooping over so as to ex pose as little of my body as possible* Soon after 1 started the Yanks «iw me and began shooting. I thought I could feel the wind of the bullets; I know I could hear the noise -of it—seemed like hundreds of them passed me—sip, zip, sip! But on down the hill I went as fast as I could for about one hundred yards and laid down behind a large red oak stump. Just as I lay down a bullet came zip! and cut my pants' leg below my knee. Some of our sharp shooters were intrenched tn a rifle pit behind a log and they said to me. "You had better get away from there.” and I joined them behind the log. I think I had a close call, and I sup pose the Yankees thought so, too, for they told some of our men who were prison ers afterwards about a little “Johnnie” running and their Shooting at him so many times and hts getting away from them.

General Stoneman reached the sub urbs of Macon, and finding that the raid which had been sent out to eo-operate with him. had failed, he retraced hte steps. Twenty miles northeast of Macon, In Jones county, he encountered General Iverson's advanced guard. The battle opened at daylight and lasted until about 2 o'clock in the evening, when General Stoneman ran up the white flag and sur rendered, as has been before stated, sev eral hundred of his men. Stoneman was too brave a man to surrender his men and then escape himself. He shared the fate of the captives. A large portion of his forces did escape capture, however. They were carried out by a Kentucky colonel, and after many trials and hardships suc ceeded In again reaching Sherman's lines. Colonel Crouse or Crews, of Cuthbert, Ga., commanded the Confederate forces on the field In this engagement; though outnumbered two to one, he drove Stone man back two miles and pressed him so hard in front and on his right and left flanks he (Stoneman) was compelled to capitulate. After the war General Stoneman became governor of the state oj California, hav ing been elected to that high office by the Democratic party of that state. He was always a Democrat. He told Colonel Beck, of Jones county, while Beck was his pris oner temporarily, that he was fighting for the restoration of the union, that and nothing else. After the war he opposed the reconstruction policy of the Repub licans. Very respectfully. F. J. WALKER. Hempstead. Ga., Aug. 26, 1901.

DAY, SEPTEMBER 1901. | LEADING MEN AND RELIABLE NEWSPAPERS ECHO JOURNAL'S OPINION OF WELLINGTON | NEW ORLEANS, September 10, 1901. Atlanta Journal, Atlanta, Ga.: Gentlemen—The New Orleans Picayune takes pleasure in sending you herein our leading editorial of today in reference to Senator Wellington’s remarks regarding the Inhuman attack on President McKinley, which you may use in answer to your request in your great Georgia newspaper. t . The Picayune is for law and order, for liberty and civiliza tion, for the unlnterruption of government in its dignity and . majesty, and it will work with you along that line. Long may The Atlanta Journal live and print in behalf of the same principles. Fraternally yours, THE PICAYUNE. The following is The Picayune's editorial in full: f - < A SENATOR’S SHOCKING BRUTALITY. The telegraph has reported that when United States Senator George L. Wellington, of Maryland, was informed of 1 the attempted assassination and grievous wounding of the president he gave expression to the following: • '• "McKinley and I are enemies. He has been guilty of an unpardonable offense toward me. I cannot 8a ? anything good for him, and Ido not think it just the time to say anything bad. I despise the man. I have no use for him, and there is no reason for my saying anything. lam totally indifferent in the matter." It is related that when his attention was called to his words, which filled with horror and astonishment those who heard them, he declared that he had nothing more to say on the subject. i Nothing could be more brutal and heartless than the utterance quoted above, and it is not so surprising that people of ordinary sensibility are outraged by it, and it seems entirely just and proper that the Atlanta Journal should make the subject the theme of indignant condemnation, and The Journal has telegraphed to The Picayune the announcement that in its leading editorial yesterday it had declared that Mr. Wellington is unfit to be a member of the senate,-and that his expulsion from that body is demanded by every consideration of public honor and decency. The senate is the sol® ** judge of the moral and legal qualifications of its members. It should be remembered that the- senate of the United States was only estopped by his timely resignation from de claring a decree of expulsion against a senator from Montana on the charge that he had obtained his seat by bribery and corruption. In this case, where the chief magistrate has been made the victim of an assassin's blow, the manifes tations of hostility on the part of the senator toward the president, whose life is hanging in the balance, with noth ing but the prayers and love and sympathy of his countrymen in the way of human aid that can be given him, are shocking, and it is monstrous that any human being not actually allied to the anarchists themselves could, under such circumstances, deny to the helpless victim a single kind word or sentiment of pity. In this part of the United States, and not alone here, brave men are accustomed to face each other in mortal com bat and battle desperately for the supremacy: but, when one strikes down the other, pity and regret take the place of rage and enmity and the kind word and sympathetic expression are not unusual from the victoq to the vanquished. But here is a case where the chief magistrate of the republie is lying on the verge of death from a blow by the hand of one of those miscreants who proclaim themselves the enemies of all human society, and who are really enemies of the human race. Let us suppose that the wounded and helpless president, lying nigh unto death at the senator’s feet, was the political opponent of the senator, is that an offense so deadly as that it extinguishes all human feeling in the breast of the senator and leaves in his heart only the hate that is imputed to devils? It is only the heart of a devil that can gloat over the desperate and. perhaps, deadly wounding of a foe under such circumstances, and the contention made by the Atlanta Journal that Senator Wellington is unfit longer to sit in the senate chamber of the United States seems founded in sound reason as well as in a noble and generous indignation which is felt by every true and brave man, no matter what is his condition. ALL MISSISSIPPI AGREES WITH THE JOURNAL. JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 12.—The brave stand that The Atlanta Journal has taken in its advocacy of the proposition to drive Senator Wellington out of the United States senate has been commented on in this city with considerable approval. His remarks were brutal tn the extreme, and those who have passed criticism on him say that he deserves to be driven from the senate and they are glad that a great Democratic newspaper like The Journal has the fearlessness to tackle the subject. The Evening News, of this city, pays its respects to Mr. Wellington in the following vigorous editorial In which the position of The Journal is indorsed: ; THE WRETCH WELLINGTON. The Atlanta Journal is out in a vigorous editorial calling on the senate of the United States to expel from Its mem bership Senator Wellington, of Maryland. The senator is quoted as saying that he and McKinley were enemies and that he could not say anything good and it-was not the time to say anything bad. He said that he despised tbs man and ths,t , he had no use for him and that his being shot had no interest for him at all. - Any man who would utter such sentiment as that is not to be trusted. That one could be so brutal as to let political differences obtain at a time like this is inconceivable. Men who are worthy foes, either personal or political, would be too magnanimous to utter any such sentiment in the face of the dark shadow which hangs over the life of the president. President McKinley is niore of a man than Wetllhgton will ever be. By hts frank brutalness he has shown the country that he is not fit to occupy* a seat in the senate of the United States, and The Journal is quite right in calling on that body to expel him. For pure, unadulterated cold bloodedness Wellington deserves 1 to rank along with the man who made the deliberate attempt to take the life of the president. Wellington is probably too cowardly to do anything Tike this, but hi his heart he is an assassin. The papers and people of the south will indorse the effort irt The Journal to B*s this viper out of the United States senate. . NORTH ALABAMA AGREES TO A MAN. HUNTSVILLE, Ala.. Sept. IX—Every public man in tftfs city who has been approached on the subject heartily in dorses the proposition of The Atlanta Journal to expel Senator Wellington, of Maryland, as a rebuke of his allusions to the wounded president of the- United States. Cruel, unpatriotic and contemptible was it in this senator, and the people in this part of the south are more severe in their criticism of him than ha was of McKinley. The Atlanta Journal's proposi tion on this subject, which has met the approval of every leading Journal In the south and has elicited comment throughout the country, has the support of the north Alabama papers, public men and the best' citizens. CABINET OFFICERS DISCUSS JOURNAL EDITORIAL. BUFFALO. Sept. !>.—A special to The New York Tribune says: Members of President McKinley’s cabinet in this city, to say nothing of his personal friends, are exceedingly indignant at Senator Wellington, who, on being told of the shooting of the president, is reported as saying: "McKinley and I are enemies. I nave nothing good to say about him, and under the circumstances do not care to say anything bad. 1 am indifferent to the whole matter." The senator's utterance and the editorial, of The Atlanta Journal was the talk of the Buffalo club, w*here the cabi net members meet every day. Unless tne Marylander disclaims tie Interview, ft is probable that he will be called to account for it on the assembling of congress. The words “I am indifferent to the whole matter” are looked upon in this city as almost treasonable. It Is thought that if Mr. Welington had no words of sympathy he at least might have said nothing. - » • . "I 'have reached one conclusion since reading Wellington's statement,” said General Charles H. Grosvenor, the president’s intimate friend, to a Tribune reporter tonight at the Iroquois, ■ "and that is that Wellington ought to be driven out of the United States senate. A man gutlty of the brutal and unwarranted language attributed to him is not a fit associate for patriotic men.” I have no doubt that Wellington will be asked by his associates to make the proper amends for his shocking insult, not only to the president himself, but to his own constituents and to the people of the nation.” ' " . ’ * ’ WHAT EMMA GOLDMAN SAID TO FIRE CZOLGOSZ'S BRAIN A Cleveland, 0., special to yesterday’s Chicago Tribune says: An address delivered in this city on May 6th by Emma’ Goldman, the an archist, is believed largely responsible for the attempt on the life of President Mc- Kinley. . ’ t Miss Goldman spoke here twice on that date, and a copy of her address was found Ln the pocket of Leon Czolgosz when searched by the Buffalo police. In the audience on that occasion was the man who tried to kill the president, and his associates now recall that he was one of the most enthusiastic Ln his applause of the utterances of Miss Goldman. The hall In which the lecture was deliv ered is at 170 Superior street, the same hall in which the anarchists now meet In this city. In the course of her address of May 6th Miss Goldman first outlined the principles of anarchy and detailed the methods whereby She hoped to accomplish the ends of anarchy. Her talk was full of forceful passages and some cases more notable for their strength than their ele gance. . "Men under the present state of so ciety,” she said, “are mere products of circumstances. Under the galling yoke of government, ecclesiasticlsm and a bond of custom and prejudice, it Is impossible for the individual to work out his own career as he could wish. Anarchism alms at a new and complete freedom. It strives to bring about the freedom which is not only the freedom from within but a freedom from without, which will prevent any man from having a desire to Interfere In any way with his neighbor. “Vanderbilt says, ’I am a free man within myself, but the others be damned.’ This Is not the freedom we are striving for. We mere’y desire complete individual liberty, and this can never be obtained as long as there is an existing government. ”We do not favor the socialistic Idea of converting men and women into mere producing machines under the eye of a paternal government. We go to the op posite extreme and demand the fullest and most complete liberty for each and every person to work out his own salvation upon any line that he pleases. The degrading notions of men and women as machines is far from our Ideals of life. "Anarchism has nothing to do with fu ture governments or economic arrange ments. We do not favor any particular settlement in this line, but merely ask to do away with the present evils. The fu ture will provide thesy arrangements after our work has been done. Anarchism deals merely with social relations, and not with economic arrangement." The speaker then deprecated the idea that all anarchists were in favor of vio lence or bomb throwing. She declared that nothing was further from the principles they support. She went on, however, Into a detailed explanation of the different crimes committed by anarchists lately, declaring that the' motive was good in each case, and that these acts were merely a matter of temperament. ..Some nun wepe so constituted, she said, that they were unable to stand idly by and see the wrong that was being endured "by their fellow mortals. She herself did net believe In these methods, but she did not think they should be condemned In view of the high and noble motives which TT Tr’lT V FARM WHERE ABRA- i uva x ham LINC oIn was BORN TO BECOME TMFRPT A TFS cAN ASYLUM FOR 1 DO Chicago Tribune.' Down In the blue grass region of Ken tucky, on the same farm where Abraham Lincoln was born and spent his boyhood days, the St. Luke’s society of Chicago Is to establish a home for the Inebriates of the south. A large hotel small cot tages and commodious dwellings will be erected by the society, and, though the land Is in the south, the negro will be made as welcome as the white. The Lincoln farm is In the town of Hodgenville, fifty miles south of Louis ville and consists of 110 acres of pasture land. On It is a spring of mineral water, the fame of which is great below the Mason and Dixon line. It was owned by some prominent Methodists of the south, among them Rev. J. W. Bing ham. Some time %go Its owners decided to donate its use to charity, and they chose the St. Luke’s society as the or ganization best suited to carry out their plans. The farm will be turned into a sani tarium, planned much after that now run by the society at 1710 to 1718 Indiana ave nue. On It will be taken only those who are addicted to drugs, liquors or tobacco. The treatment Is to be similar to that given at the Chicago hospital. While the officers of the society are busy trying to get the Lincoln farm in shape, they are also at work establishing a branch within the Cook county jail. There prisoners knpwn to be the victims of the drug, liquor or tobacco habit are given over to Dr. Miller and his asslst- prompted their perpetration. She contin ued: "Some believe we should first obtain by force and let the Intelligence and edu cation ccme afterwards.” Miss Gohiman did not hesitate to put forward a number of sentiments far more radical and sensational than any ever publicly advanced here. During Miss Gold man’s lecture a strong detail of police were In the hall to keep her from utter ing sentiments which were regarded as too radical. This accounts for the fact that the speaker did not give free rein tb her thoughts on this occasion. By reasons of anarchistic uprisings elsewhere,, It was thought best by the city officials to curb the utterances of this woman. •taanths The Kind You Haw ’T" ant. Dr. LaGrange. The latter devotes all his time to them and lives In the same quarters with them. Yesterday afternoon some newly ar rived prisoners were taken before Dr. Miller and it was decided to try to cure two notorious cases. One, a man of 39 years, has been addicted to morphine for ten years. So bad is he that w<hlle undef the influence of the drug he acts like a wild man and is not held responsible by the police for his actions. The other, a youth of 24 years, is a total wreck. "Our Abraham Lincoln farm and the Cook county jail hospital,” said Dr. Mil ler. "are but parts of our charitable work. We run penny lunch counters and our local hospital is largely charitable. On the farm we will attempt to enlarge cur work and make it the first of several sudh extensions." THOUGHT HE WAS “CALLED.” ROME. Ga., Sept. 12.—8. G.

All contracts between the Interstate Fair association and Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kansas "smasher,” have been cancelled by the fair management This has been done because of Mrs. Nation’s utterances in reference to President McKinley and the attempt made on his life at Buffalo a few days since. "I am glad it happened,” she is reported to have said in an address to a large crowd on Coney Island, New York,, "and I hope that the president will die, because he stands as one of the supporters of the liquor traffic. He allows wines to be served on the table at the white house and in this way stands as an example before the youth of the land.” In view of these utterances, at which there has been no attempt at denial, the fair management cancelled the contract. The intense feeling aroused all over the country by the attempt upon the presi dent’s life was felt here and there was a lingering fear that a remark such as quot ed from Mrs. Nation or any one else la this city might lead to disorder.
