CHAPTER XVII.
To meet this fordmidable array
of military strength, Lee could mus
ter no more than 58,000 men. On
the 26th Hooker began a series of
feints in front of Fredericksburg as
though he intended to pontoon the
river and cross at that place, while
he was, in fact, crossing at Fal
mouth and other fordable points
about twenty-five miles above; but
the ever vigilant Lee was not de
ceived by his feints, but fully antic
ipated his movements and his de
signs. How, or what to do, to check
and thwart Hooker’s advance was a
perplexing question to those upon
whose shoulders rested the responsi
bility of crowning the confederate
arms with victory or seeing them go
down in defeat when the two armies
should meet, and it was in this
emergency that Lee, in council with
his chief lieutenants, conceived the
bold idea of putting Stonewall Jack
son’s corps in Hooker’s rear, and it
was upon this occasion that Jackson
made his famous, world-renown
ed flank movement, undiscovered,
around Hooker’s army of 132,000
men. Hooker’s position, when he
crossed the river, did not parallel that
stream, but stretched at an acute
angle away to the right, from which
point he doubtless expected to at
tack Lee’s left, flank him at that
point and drive him down the river,
but how he failed at this we shall
presently see.
On the morning of the 29th our
corps was put in motion, moving at
an obture angle away to the left of
Hooker’s right; then we moved at an
obtuse angle to the right till we
parallelled Hooker; we were then in
position to move upon his rear. The
circuit thus made could not have
been less than sixty miles in extent,
as we were three days and nights in
making it, though in the meantime
we tore up some railroad track and
some plank roads.
The chief officers of the army hav
ing the most implicit confidence in
Gen. Jackson’s consummate skill and
strategy to effect the contemplated
movement, co-operated with him to
the fullest extent. Every movement
of all was like clock-work. Gen.
Stewart concealed our movements
from the enemy by keeping his cav
alry between us and him and har-
rassing his right flank, while Fitz-
hugh Lee had his cavalry down the
river on the enemy’s left, and Long-
street with his corps presented a
bold front to his center to divert his
attention from what was soon to
happen in his rear. At about 5
o’clock in the evening of the first
day of May (Saturday) Jackson gave
Lee and Longstreet the signal that
he was in Hooker’s rear, and in
striking distance and ready for a si
multaneous attack, which was in
stantly made, Longstreet attacking
his front and Jackson his rear. The
dire confusion that followed in
Hooker’s army was said by officers
who were in position to see and
know, as well as by federal prison
ers captured, to be indescribable.
Officers and men running pell-mell,
not knowing how nor where to form
a line of battle, nor how to get out
of the way of their assailants. This
was near Chancellorsville, the little
village from which the great battle
takes its name. Nightfall put an
end to the conflict and we rested,
for the night, on our arms.
To be Continued.
Mutual Interests.
Editorial.
The general interests of all the
people of a community, town or
county are mutual, and material
benefit, as a rule, affects all in some
degree. Antagonism is hurtful, and
prejudices of one avocation or busi
ness against another operate to the
disadvantage of all.
If prejudices exist in the minds
of farmers against the citizens of
towns and cities it is much to be
regretted. There may be strong per
sonal friendship existing, but when
ever there be any matter touching
general interests, this prejudice, if
existing, finds expression.
In business affairs this is wrong
in principle and-hurtful in practice.
There is no good reason why the
general interests of town and coun
try should not be practically identi
cal.
All alike are interested in the up
building of county interests; the re
duction of taxation as low as is con
sistent with good appointments in
every department of county affairs.
The town people are ever glad for
the country people to increase in
prosperity, and ready to co-operate
with them in every laudable enter
prise.
They desire and should sell each
to the other, and such transactions
are to the material benefit of all.
Of course there is as much obli
gation upon the one as upon the
other. Each desires to sell for profit,
and each buyer expects to buy where
he can best serve his pecuniary in
terests.
Whenever any article is bought at
or near the home of the consumer,
the profit -off the transaction is so
much added to the prosperity of the
community. Purchased elsewhere,
the entire price is taken out of the
community, never to return.
There’should be close business re
lations between the town and coun
try people of a county.

It is a great mistake to lose confi
dence in humanity because one man
has played yon false. In spite of all
the rascals that walk the stage, there
are honest folks in the world. If you
have failed to find them, perhaps it
is because you have not been look
ing for them. The moral affinities
of your own soul come out in your
judgment of Other men. No liar
believes in truthfulness, no thief in
honesty, and no debauchee in purity.
Whether we will do it or not, we
instinctively measure our brethren
by what we know of ourselves. The
good are likely to be good and char
itable, and the evil harsh and censo

let it be the one who sneers at the

Profanity in Public Places.
Savannah News.
The use of profane and obscene
language on the streets and in pub
lic places of New York has become
so common that it has been found
necessarry to propose special legal
prohibition as a remedy. President
Guggenheimer, of the Municipal
Council, prepared and submitted the
other day an ordinance covering the
subject. The ordinance makesrit a
misdemeanor to use “vile, profane or
obscene language in any public
street or place within the city of
New York, or in any public trans
portation car, ferryboat or other
public conveyance operated within
the cognizance of the - magistrates’
courts of the city of New York,” un
der penalty of a fine of not less than
$2 and not more than $10.
This proposition is neither in the
direction of a revival of “blue laws,”
nor a curtailment of personal liberty.
It is a movement in the direction of
public decency which is deserving of
respectful consideration. Some of
the New York newspapers have
evinced an inclination to treat the
prohibition of profanity in public in
a spirit of levity and flippancy. But
the matter is one of seriousness
and importance. Swearing and foul
speech are shocking and disgusting
to refined persons; and not by any
stretching of the doctrine of person
al liberty can there be found justifi
cation for offending the sensibilities
of gentlemen, ladies and children by
profane and vile language. Not only
is swearing, that most uselesss of
bad habits, repulsive to well-bal
anced maturity, but it is contami
nating to youth. Children are quick
to imitate their elders, and especial
ly quick to pick up and remember
words and phrases which they hear
spoken in public places. The use of
bad language in public, therefore, is
not only disgusting at the time, but
may be productive of evils in the fu
ture. If the users of foul language
have not the decency to restrain
tVi mn «p1 vea, when on the streets, in
cars, ferryboats ana eisewnere m
public places, it is no more than
right .and proper that the hand of
the law should be placed upon their
mouths.
Glories of Life.
It is a glorious thing just to be
alive. But, ah! how much more glo
rious it is when we know that the
life in which we rejoice will go on
and not die; that when this house of
clay, beautifully and wonderfully
made, shall have been taken down
when it shall have become too frag
ile and weather-beaten by the storms
of earth to hold us any more, we
shall not be cast out to perish; but
shall simply move on into some bet
ter and roomier house which the
Eternal Love that holds ns fast has
provided for ns. It is sweet and
good to live, but how much sweeter
and better when we know that what
we call death will be merely a let
ting go of that which we can no
longer hold, a casting off of that
which is but a prison door, and
when everything that is mortal
about us will be swallowed up in
the more abundant life.—David H.

A Tramp’s Eloquent Lecture.
New Orleans Picayune.
A tramp once asked for a free
drink in a saloon. The request was
granted, and when in the act of
drinking the proffered beverage, one
of the young men present exclaimed:,
“Stop; make us a speech. It is a
poor liquor that doesn’t loosen a
man’s tongue.”
The tramp hastily swallowed the
drink, and as the rich liquor coursed
through his blood, he straightened
himself and stood before them with
a grace and dignity that all his rags
and dirt could not obscure.
“Gentlemen,” he said, “I look to
night at yon, and myself, and it
seems to me I look upon the picture
of my lost manhood. This bloated
face was once as young and hand
some as yours. This shambling fig
ure once walked as proudly as yours,
a man in the world of men. I, too,
once had a home and friends and
position. I had a wife as beautiful
as an artist’s dream, and I dropped
the priceless pearl of her honor and
respect in the wine cup, and, Cleo
patra like, saw it dissolve and quaff
ed it down in the brimming draught.
I had children as sweet and lovely
as the flowers of spring, aud saw
them fade and die under the blight
ing curse of a drunken father. I had
a home where love lit the flame up
on the altar and ministered before
it, and I put out the holy fire and
darkness and desolation reigned in
its stead. I had aspirations and am
bitions ihat soared as high as the
morning star and broke and bruised
their beautiful wings, and at last
strangled them that I might be tor
tured with their cries no more. To
day I am a husband without a wife,
a father without a child, a tramp
with no home to call his own, a man
in whom every good impulse is dead.
And all swallowed up in the mael
strom of drink.”
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his nerveless fingers
and shivered into a thousand frag
ments on the floor. The swinging
and when the little group about the
bar looked up the tramp was gone.
