WiW- | ® In the World. I “‘ I VOL. 59 NO. 33 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 mount his army on males and im- F f as other stock as he went, and have been compelled to raise the Beige of Petersburg and Richmond 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 as “rash,” “headstrong,” and fit only LIFE IN THE CITY- iluis mounted to rapidly march bis army through Cumberland Gap and regain Kentucky. With the Confed erates in possession of Kentucky (’eneral Longslrcet was conGdent his army would be increased by enlist, nuius from Southern sympathisers in the Blue Grass Slate, and that he 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 had fallen and the “March to the ^ Ca W!iS a success, but even then Hood trembled on the very verge of success.

Miss Barrick man talked openly and frankly about her escapade, and said that she ran away with McGee because she loved him. Shb said that she never did like her lover who had committed suicide.

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 riage with three Americans, an old man and two boys. One of the boys was just the image of J G .ex cept that he was much fatter. I sup- hour.

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.

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.

Nis- bet, State Commissioner of Agriculture, Mayor E. T. Brown, of Athens, and Dr. E, D. Newton, President of the Farmers Club of Clarke county. The clever Franklin county farmers know just the thing to do to entertain their friends and they gave' their visitors yes terday a royal welcome. A delightful lunch was spread by the ladies under the trees near the grand stand. Athens extends to all the farmers of Franklin a cordial invitation to the May meeting of the, Farmer’s Club of Clarke. Mrs. H. A.

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.
