CHAPTER XIY.
McClellan, in his recruited strength,
followed Lee across the Potomac in
to Virginia, hoping to bring on an
other engagement, but Lee 'so ma
neuvered as to avoid combat. Me
Clellan’s failure to demolish Lee at
Sharpsburg and move right on to
Richmond and make a prize of that
much coveted city was not popular
at Washington City, nor elsewhere
in the federal realm.
Several years previous to the open
rupture between the states of the
federal union, the states of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Iowa had each passed laws refusing
rendition of fugitives from service
from any of the other states. These
unwise, centralizing laws made it
practically impossible for the owner
of a fugitive slave eacaping from a
slave state into any of the states
named to secure the same by any le
gal process whatever.
On the 22nd the governors of these
states met at Altoona, in Pennsylva
nia, in secret junto. What was done
or said by them was never made
public, but it was understood at the
time that the object of the meeting
was to overawe President Lincoln
and demand of him that the eman
cipation of African slavery, as it ex
isted at the beginning of hostilities,
be made a joint issue in the contest,
that the war should not be waged
for the maintenance of the union of
the states alone, as it existed in the
federal constitution at the beginning
of hostilities, as was set forth in the
resolution introduced in the federal
congress by Senator Andrew John
son, of Tennessee, and adopted by
both branches of that body, declar
ing that the war should be waged
alone for the maintenance of the un
ion as it then existed in the federal
constitution. It was well known
that Lincoln, and McClellan both
favored the Johnson policy of prose
cuting the war. McClellan was
therefore thought to be too conserv
ative to deal with the rebels, as the
confederate soldiers were termed.
The celebrated “Emancipation
Proclamation,” of Mr. Lincoln, bore
even date with the “junto,” of the
twelve governors, at Altoona, Penn.
(Sept. 22nd, 1862.)
This famous executive proclama
tion was an eye-opener. The south
ern people were quick to see their
doom in the event of defeat, and the
federals were equally quick to see
through the same glasses. It gave
quite an impetus to the war. New
levies of troops were called for on
both sides. Soon after this McClel
lan was again, removed, and a man
supposed to favor the joint issue and
to be in sympathy with the executive
proclamation, was put in his place.
He was Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside.
CHAPTER XV.
Gen. Burnside, the new command
er of the Grand Army of the Poto
mac, was put in command about the
5th of November. He immediately
set about preparing for another ad
vance on Richmond. The two armies
were now in the upper extremity of
the Shenanhoah Valley, on opposite
sides of the river of that name. Un
der the new levy of troops the two
armies had been recruited to about
their former strength, which was
about two to one, or 120,000 for the
federals and 60,000 for the confed
erates. On the 28th of November,
in the midst of a snowstorm, Bum-
side put his army in motion, head
ing southward. Lee followed him,
keeping between him and Richmond.
The route lay along the North Anna
River, then along the Rapid Ann
River, and thence down the Rappa
hannock: River, to Fredericksburg.
Upon reaching Ere,derickshurg on
the 6tii" of Dec.emb.eri Burnside
found himself confronted from the
opposite side by Lee. He, however,
crossed tehriver, and on the 13th,
at daybreak, advanced his lines and
challenged - Lee to mortal combat.
The challenge was promptly accept
ed. The battle lasted two days. The
second day, however, was only a
feint upon the part of Burnside to
cover his retreat back across the
Rappahannock. Hfe fell an easier
victim to confederate prowess, and
with a greater proportionate loss,
than any of his predecessors. He
was completely routed. The official
count placed his loss, in killed and
wounded, at 12,321, and that of the
confederates at 4,361.
The season was now too far ad-
which due notice would be given.
Yery many of the boys, on both
sides, took ^advantage of this lenien-
j cy, and when they could procure a
batteau, or little boat, would ran the
blockade on the sly, and cross the
river and hold friendly intercourse.
They also carried on an exchange
and bartering, such as swapping
coffee for tobacco, beef for bacon,
and com meal, or bread, for “hard
tack.” And on the first day of Jan
uary, 1863, some of the boys in blue
came over and spread their rations
with the boys in gray, and together
they enjoyed a New Year’s dinner
and deplored the bloody strife that
existed among brethren of the same
household, and saddled the cause
that had led up to the deplorable
condition upon politicians of disap
pointed expectations, whose illegiti
mate aspirations had failed of suc
cess, and of glory.
To be Continued.
For and Against Worrying.
“The “Don’t Worry” people are
being attacked on many side3 about
then- principles, and the loudest ob
jectors to the clubs they are forming
are the progressive ones who see
virtue in worrying. “Why,” says a
woman who declares she never
speaks without thinking, “if people
did not worry there would never be
any advance made in anything. Con
tentment is a curse to any country,
and too much of it will send a. per
son to the poorhouse. It is the peo
ple who never worry about the future
who constitute the poor relations
and become the wards of the state.
A “Don’t Worry” woman said in
refutation of this: “Nonsense! One
can have the interest of things at
heart without worrying over them.
It is one thing to be careful and an
other to make one’s self and every
body else miserable. If progress is
bought with weary brains and mis
erable days and nights, it is an ex
pensive improvement—but it is not.
It is the men and women who -can
lightly throw off their responsibility
and go to their work determined to
succeed, but ready to accept failure
philosophically if it should come,
that do the most good eventually.-
“Worrying hurts the brain, and
with weakened intellect there can
be little progress. There is. a'.scien
tific truth in the Biblical advice to
take no thought for the morrow, and
it is as true now as then that by
taking thought (or, literally, worry
ing) no one can add a cubit to his
stature. Be as progressive as you
like, be as determined as possible;
but, whatever you do, stop worry
ing.”
Persons troubled with diarrhoea
will be interested in the experi
ence of Mr. W. M. Bash, clerk of
Hotel Dorrance, Providence, R. I.
He says: “For several years I have
been almost a constant safferer
from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me
and rendering me unfit for my du
ties at this hotel. About two years
ago a traveling salesman kindly
gave me a small bottle of Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Mach to my surprise
and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms
of the disease I would fortify my
self against the attack with a few
doses of this valnable remedy. The
result has been very satisfactory
and almost complete relief from
the affliction.” For sale by Holtz

The sterotyped advice to young
men to “go west” has been changed
and is now “go south.” The south
is now building up, increasing in
wealth and population, as no other
portion of the United States is do
ing today. The young men just
starting out in life shouldhave the
most favorable opportunities aud
advantages that be can secure, for
these are half the battle of success.
The southern states afford these
advantages and oppotunities.

The Hawaiian ail nation, as we
are able to understand it, since
the passage of the Newlands bill,
is about as follows:
The late government of Hawaii,
whether a legitimate one or not, of
fered to transfer its authority, or
sovereignty, if you please, unre
servedly to the United States. By
the act which is now a law of the
land, the United States accepted
the tender, aud it becomes the
sovereign ruler of the islands and
the owner of all the public build
ings and other public property.
Tlie islands do not become a state
or a territory, with representatives
or delegates in congiess, but a
“part of the territory of the United
States,” to be governed by congress,
As explained by one of the advo
cates of the Newlanda bill’ the
islauds are “new possessions of
the Union,” aod are to be “mere
possessions, of and not partners in
proprietorship,” as in the cases of
the District of Columbia and
Alaska. “Until congress passes
further special laws for the gov
ernment of the islands their pros
ent local laws, so far as permiss
ible under our constitution, remain
in force, and their present officers
remain in place, under the discre
tion and authority of the president
of the United States. All foreign
treaties made by the islands are
now to be abrogated aod replaced
by the treaties of the United States
The customs laws of the -islands
are to remain in force toward this
and all countries until replaced by
new ones made by congress, and
while they thus remain in force
the local government of Hawaii
shall pTy-tha interest'on the pub
lic debt of the islands”.
The principal of the Hawaiian
debt does not exceed $4,000,000,
and it is assumed by the United
States.
The public lands of Hawaii are
to be administered solely for the
good of the inhabitants of the is
lands. The Chinese exclusion law
of the United States is to apply to
Hawaii.
Five commissioners, two to be
residents of the islands, have been
appointed by the president to de
vise and recommend to congress a
code of laws for the government of
the islands.
Speaking for the party in pow
er, the New York 1 Tribune declares
that the people of the United
States have no idea in annexing
Hawaii of admitting it to the Un
ion as a state, or of providing for
its ultimate admission hereafter.
Had any such intention appeared
in the act of annexation, or bad
the idea prevailed that the act
might prove at any time an open
ing wedge for such admission of
Hawaii, the resolution could not flt
present have passed congress, and
it is doubtful ifcthey could ever
have passed. Let that be kept
clearly in mind. The people of
the United States desired the an
nexation of Hawaii, and are now
rejoicing in the fulfillment of their
desire. But they have no inten
tion of making annexation mean
admission to the Union any more
in the case of Hawaii than in the
case of Alaska.”
American Superiority.
There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all oth
er diseases put together, and uotil
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, aod prescribed local reme
dies, aud by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment.

The Berlin correspondent of the
Loudon Mail sends this significant
cablegram to his paper:
“The battle of Santiago de Cuba
is considered to have proven the
superiority of American nrmor
piatiag and artillery, and it is be
lieved that in the future European
nations will give larger orders to
American m ikers for armor, gnns
and the like.”
Another European correspond
ent dilates upon the immense su
pariority of American warships
over British ships, especially in
armor and armament. An expert is
quoted :that when completed the
U nited States battleship Alabama
could blow the British battleship
Majestic —the fiuest in the Eog-
1 ish navy—out of the water, and
tha t“ in the next century America
jvill be building warships for every
body.” “Eveu now the United
States is able to build much cheap
er than Germany or England,” bp
declares.
Cemmenting upon these state
mentsaLiudon newspaper says:
We have verified tbe data and are
copmelled to acknowledge the cor
rectness of the statements. We
know also that there is a distinct
uneasiness in the higher ranks of
the British navy at the onderarma-
ment of our ships.”
This, coming from a European
source, is important to every
American. It shows that this war
is making history a great deal fast

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver be inactive,
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach be disordered, yon have a
dyspeptic look: if your kidneys be
affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. “Electric
Bitters” is a good Alterative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
ach, liver and kidneys. Purifies
the blood, cures pimples, blotches
aud boils, and gives a good com
plexion. Every bottle guaranteed.
