Forrest been permitted to have their lead, Sher
man's last lino of connection would have been
broken.
flood's expedition into Tennes co wu.s a
magnificent conception, if it could have been
carried our.
Two points tho lecturer endeavored io make
clear—the effect of Forrest’s strength upon
military men ; tho impression he made upon
the world of the power ami proper use of cav
alry in modi in warfare. A cornier captured
crossing his line had this dispatch: “Look out,
front, flank and rear; Forrest undonbfbdly
across the river.” Persistent fertility of re
source was the ground of his success. In
the battle of Nashville Forrest
had a conspb nous part. He was
at Murfreesburo. The fight was at General
Harding’s to the Cumberland river. The light
began at the Spence hoir <• at nine o'clock. At
five o’< lock they had made (heir way to tho
i Davidson h*»u o. Here, (if tho report bo true

Tho last day the fight W’na on the Granny

urn were siiil eonfronh-d by overwhelming
numbers. Ih re their endurance camo from
Forrest’s influence.
Dr. Kelley had been asked whether Forrest

THRILLIRG TRADITION.
BV AIONTGOMKiiY M. FULTO.M.
For The Constitution.
There arc many episodes in the history of
Fort Hawking that historians have failed to
rccord—and few are living whose limc-laitvicd
mind# can now recall them.
There is one tradition, however, that has
interested me deeply, and by dint of qm-sticn
ing these ancient ones and poring over the
faded pages of musty old manuscripts, I have
been able to discover the outlines of the old,
old story, which I will recount to you.
Where the hills break .away into i\y colored
glensand deeply shaded ravines that descend
abruptly to the edge of the sweeping Ocmulgec
there is a little valley that possesses a bloody
secret of Jove, jealousy, revenge, death and re
morse, and ail the sail afterthoughts that have
followed in the train t>i these strong passions
since the first born of earth fed their flocks in
the valleys by the rivers of the cast.
On the pages of an ancient document I find
the names of—well, I will not give you their
real names for the sake of the memory of those
who laid aside the mart ial trappings of war to
don the humble habiliments of the tomb in
years that are gone.
They were two brave lieutenants who saw
service in the th regiment during the
second and last fierce struggle between the
laml of tyranny and oppression and the country
of peace and freedom.
Thomas Darrell and Raymond Rnss< p were
l>ot b brave soldiers, young and ambitious, and
won their promotion by deeds of heroism that
pen has never recorded.
Opposite their names appear these words
written by one who doubtless knew the sad
story of their tragic ending-the words “re
signed” opposite the fiist, and “not present”
opposite the second. The gnarled and knotted
trees that bend their aged boughs above that
gnvii valley that lies at the base of Rose Hill,
could tell the st<>ry.
It was a bright morning in January when a
courier dashed recklessly down the steep in
cline that led to the fording place on the river.
Boldly urging Ids foam-llecked steed into the
broken \i,iters ho reached the eastern bank,
and putting spurs to his wearied charger he
breasted tho hill, and as tho palisade of tho
fort < ame into view he waved biscap above his
head and shout< d “Victory! Victory!” until
tho frosty air took up (ho refrain that echoed
from hill to hill, ami startled the sentinel at
his post in tho southeastern tower of the
fori al ice.
The gates were thrown open, and passing in
side he flung himself into the arms of the
commandant, crying:
“.lack ■ n has conquered and Padkenhnm
with a thousand of his red-coats He dead upon
the bloody field of New Orleans!”
A wil<l huzza went up frunithe soldiery, and
the lurking Indian spy who had moored his
canoe in an eddy of tho ri\<-r, a mile away,
was frightened by the sound and paddled bis
boat across the stream ami disappeared among
the western woods.
AU was confusion at the fort, and as the
sun ascended the zenith the heavy thunder of
nine U-en guns reverberated among tho bills,
and the speed of the savage was accelerated as
be paused and listened to these wild tokens of
warlike exultation.
Il had taken eighteen days to bring the joy
ous tidings, and still the fleet-footed couriers
must traverse miles of uninhabited forest ere
the news of the victory could reach the other
•'ommamlers situated at different points along
the frontier.
But Foil Hawkins rejoiced and all the in
habitants thereof were glad, finite a largo
party had arrived at Fort Hawkins a few days
previous ami among thum several young ladies
who were fairer than the first flowers of spring
to tho eyes of the young soldiers.
One among them was Rachel Allen, the
daughter of a gentleman of wealth, who had
left his homo in (’arulina to try his fortunes in
(he new country.
Shf' was young and handsome, and possessed
of such charms that would make an easy con
quest of less susceptible hearts than those of
the two young lieutenants who were full <»f
that spirit of romantic adventure so common
in young men of their kind.
Thomas Darrell and Raymond Russell had
entered into a regular siepc in a spirit of manly
: rivalry that well suited their high notions of
chivalry and honor. And each had received
his share of encouragement, while neither
could claim any material advantage. There
was so much difference in the two men that
any maiden would be puzzled to determine
which was the most attractive.
TTaditi'-ii says that Lieutenant Darrell was
tall and lithe as a w illow, blue-eyed and light
uomph-xioned, and that he was impetuous,
gem-rmis and bravo. Russell was his opposite.
He was a magnificent specimen of massive
manhood, dark-eved ami dark-haired, w ith a
face on w hicb even the vicissitudes of wind
ami weather could scarce cast another shadow.
He was cool, dvtennini'd, and possessed those
fatal qualities of untorgettiug love and unfor
giving hatred.
On the evening of the second day after the
news of Jacksons victory reached tin- furt,
tin* eonimalidiint arranged fora grand dinner,
followed by an impromptu ball, such as only
soldiers iu garrison could devise.
During the progress of the festivities, the
young lieutenants eagerly sought the hand of
tint fair Rachel for the reels and jigs which
they dam-i d to the music of the tilers and an
old negro tiddler, who played ”The Wasp and
the reacock,” to the merry clatter of youthful
feet.
The night w’.is w iIJ for the season, ami the
moon that stt od at the zenith w hen the festiv
ities began bad glided down tho western
slepts, and was banging tremulously on the
distant horizon, when tho ball was ended.
Did the eyus ol fair Rachall detect a stain of
crimson on its shining crescent .is it disap
peared behind those dark, mysterious hills
lM*vond the river?
hot words had passed that night, and qui
etly withdrawing I'inmias Darrell and Ray
mond Itussell agreed that ere tho sunrise
they would settle forever the question of who
sl.oiild claim the hand of the young lady by
right of conquest.
Thiough the remaining hours of the night
young Darrell paced up and down, his blood
tmw boiling w ith a .scuse of his wrongs, now
cooling as he thought of bis home iu Virginia
and ot tlu welcome that awa tud him there.
The great constellations poised one by one
j aduwn the pathway of the sky, ami at last the
, morning star appeared and burned in splendor
• among the paling >tars in the east.
Lieutenant Rus -vil sought his soldier’s couch
and fell asleep. He dreamed of his father's
house nestled among the pine-clad bills of
Maine, and tht n be dreamed of one w hom ho
would bring away' with him w hen next he
turned his back on war and all its hardships.
His dream was broken by a touch on the arm
ami a muttert <1 “time is up” in his ear.
Tho light and airy mist wreaths hung above
the w inding river, and the chill air of moin
ing vmought ten thousand fantastic shapes
among tho vapory masses, as Thomas Darrell
passed ontsidv life fort and walked rapidly
along the winding road that led to the river.
A light canoe wa* moored among tho over
hanging w illows, and into this he stepped, and
a few swift strokes o( the paddle placed him
on the western short'. J ust as he sprang ashore
the tremulous cry of a screech owl smote his
ear. ami a shudder passed through his over
wrought frame as the querulous note of this
bird of evil oim n died away.
As Raymond Russell walked firmly up the
frosty |p.ith ami entered the shadowy val
ley lie was greeted with a morning salute by
his antagonist.
• You are punctual, Mr. Russell,” said Dar
rell, as ho advanced with outstretched baud
to meet his foe.
“I always make it a point to keep my en
gagements. Mr. Darrell, ’ replied Russell in
mt asured tunes.
“You understand our agreement?” queried
Darrell.
“lunderstand that we are to take position
and ftWftit the first glimpse of tho sun, and thou
we are to stand back to back, walk six steps
forward, w heel and tire ”
“And God have mercy on tho fallen,” wild
Darrell, finishing the sentence. “Raymond 4 ”
ho continued, his even impetuous generosity
owruotning his angry feelings. “Ere many
minutes pass one ur the other of us must fall.
| It it is I. you are forgiven; If you.shall I en.iuy
the same boon?” “AVith ail my heart, Mr.
Darn 11. I hate you with all heart, but if I full
you arc forgiven.”
I Suddenly the taint blush in the east t<M'k on
, a ruddier tint, and then the mists parted like
a veil ami a ray of blood red light, from the
■ January sun. shot athwart the valley, and —
‘ one, two, three, lour uIU five—bang: bang!
I and Thoma-; Darrell sank to the’earth with a
low moan, ;«T.d a mime but half uttered on his
, ‘ <lying lij.' •“ cd with a deeper red as »?t life
blood gushed forth and moistened the half
i frozen earth.
; An hmsr later Raymond Russell sat in the
• guard bo’i ;e and listened with feelings of bit
ter 1 ' ’
t : wail of a woman liemoaning the fate of her
i chosen lover. Had he but known. Ab! the
f I same old st« ry. Could remon e but precede
I revvenge, and could cruel experience but come
at the right end of life, how much unhappiness
; might be obviated.
Years later a rugged ami weather-beaten
trapper pa -< ■! away peacefnjly in his hut
among the wild forests of Maine, and Ray
’ mond Russell forgot the pangs of remorse that
> haunted him all the years of his life, driving
hirn to seek the solitudes of tho deep woods,
whero the hopeful glance of manhood, the
1 tender smiles of women, and the innocent
mirth of children ceased to pierce his soul
with pangs of bitter anguish.
The grave of Thomas Darrell was made on
a bill to the eastward of the old fort, near the
old Federal road, and no one knows the spot
where sleeps the fated victim of that deadly
duel.
Rachel Allen s tears were dried, but there
was a pain at her heart that even the love of a
devoted husband and the caresses of sons and
daughters could not quite allay.
And thvis it appears that at the final dis
banding, when the various commandents sent
in their reports. Lieutcnaat Raymond Russell
was “resigned,” and Lieutenant Thumas Dar
rell was “not present.”
A Alan With a Memory.
From tho New York Sun.
Just before Sherman advanced on his Geor
gia campaign, a man supposed to be a rebel spy was ;
<ne day arrested in a union camp. Be was in fed
eral uniform, but his look ami language were un
iniftakably southern, lie claimed to belong to a
regiment in another camp about two miles away,
and he was sent to the guard house until his asser
tion could be ver fl 1 or disproved. Iw as officer of
the day at camp that day, and that is how’ I came to
learn so many of the particulars of the affaii lam
relating. It was in the camp of a Wisconsin regi
ment tliat the spy, who gave bis name as George
Swift, was arrested. He had come there ostensibly
to visit friends, but some of the boys had seen him
slyly taking notes, and he had asked such
qu< s ! ions as m private federal soldier would have
any use for. It was pretty generally understood that
the confederates were using every exertion to se
cure knowledge of Sherman’s strength and move
ments. and the boys had no soonergot the idea
that the stranger was a spy than they gave infor
mation to me, and I put him under arrest. I saw
at a glance that he was of southern birth. This was
not so much against him, for at that time we had
plenty of Tennessee and Kentucky men with us.
“What command do you belong to?” I asked.
“T1 e th Illinois,” he replie 1.
I asked what brigade and division, who was his
captain and various other things, and he returned
what seemed to be straight ansW-l’S to every ques
tion. When I asked who he Lad come to visit in
Hie Wisconsin regiment he was lame. lie inen
ti med the name of a man no one had ever heard of.
It was on this point alone ih.it I held him. A mes
senger was at once sent after the Illinois captain
named, and in about an hour he appeared. The
supposed spy was taken to the tent of the brigade
general, and as soon as brought face to face with
the captain he saluted and said:
“Captain Morton, the people here seem to think I
am a rebel spy.”
“And who are you?” queried the captain, plainly
astonished.
“I o you ask that!” reproachfully inquir d the
man. “Who should Ibe but Gco ge Swift of ycW
own company?”
“You can't be. I never saw you before in my
life.”
“Wh , Ciipta n Morton!”
The two men looked at each other as if doubting
their own senses, and the general asked of Swift:
“How long have you been w th his company?”
“Four months, sir. I came down as a recruit
from Pekin.”
“Who is your order'y sergeant?”
“Serge mt White, sir.”
"Who are your commissioned officers?”
"Ca]tdn Morton. Fir*t Lieutenant Green and
Lieutenant Davis. The a tur is home on furlough.”
‘How many m n in the company.”
“I i ty-eight, sir.”
“Who are your tent mates?”
‘ Oscar Jacks n, Thcmas Parker and John
P i g?ou.”
“V el . captain?” queii d the general, as he turned
to Ci.p a n Mo t »n.
The cap ain was • lean beat. He was dead sure
that no sue i man belonged to his company, and yet
the sivp c had answered e ery question i s straight
as a string.
"I ll stake my life that I never saw this man be
fore,” the c. p ain finally answered, "und 1 know
every in: n in my com; any by name.”
The spy was < rdered to < r p t< hs 'h'rt, and tor
the first time his coalncss e in 4to desert him. He*
repr a bed theciptalnf >rp?. imtt ngthisindign ty,
but slowly •! B.obed. In one of bb beo legs was a
P H-kut, and in this pocket w e found a pa; er be iring
! g u es as follows:
A Id 27
1 " .... 9.000
C " 1 (Lu
There were four or five sets ol these memoranda,
running from one to "Id. ’ When asked to explain
the meaning of them, he said they were some old
examples in algebra he had been w orking out witfi
the Loys. In a few minutes w e were satisfied that
the paper read: ‘‘Artillery in first division twenty
seven pieces." Then “I” stood for infantry and the
"C” for cavalry. We w :ie sa’lsfied, and yet w'C
were not, for as suou as w e made it out the way 1
have given it to yon, Swift said:
“General, Captain Morton does not seem to be a
good hand to remember faces. M ill you please send
f >r the orderly s rgeant and my tent mates? If I c m t
show by them that 1 been with company G
f<»ur months you can order mu hung as a spy.”
The coul prop isition staggered the general. Had
wc discovered the paper iu the man’s pocket in
stead of his bcots he would have been allowed to
walk off. That discovery looked suspicious, and he
was ordered back to the guard house and the per
sons sent for. Two hours later he was confronted
by the oxlerly sergeant.
“Sere mt, do you know this man?” asked the gen
eral.
"No, sir.”
J*lsn't he ft member of your company?”
"No, sir.”
“You are d< ad sure of this ”
“1 am sir.”
Swift actually grinned as if it were a good joke,
and said: ,
• I’erhaps I have changed skins with somebody
since I came out of camp this morning. Sergeant
: White, your given name is Th mias. Y’ou came
from Chicago. You have been twice wounded.
Your father was down to see you a-t week. You got
love letters from your girl in G lesburg. You are 32
years old. You have a brother Ben in Company E.
Hear me call the roll of ov.r company: Allbright,
Allison. Andrews. Arkwright, Bement, Beamer,
Bostwick, Carter, Corliss, Cullins, Costigan, Cum
merford ”
And the man rattled off forty or fifty’ names as fast
as he could speak, and he got them ail correct, too.
Tne sergeant looked from his captain to the prlsou
her, and then pinched him elf to see if he whs
awake or asleep.
“I—l never saw hhn before,” he finally stammer
ed, “but he must belong to the < ompHny.”
“Yes. he certainly must," added the captain.
“Well, take him back to camp with you,
sergeant,” observed the general. “Ilold uu, though,
didn't we send tor bis tent mates?”
“They are here, sir.”
‘‘Well, wo‘ll see if they recognize him.”
The three men were brought in and inside of five
miuut< s Swift was a doeined man. He had came
into camp four or five days previous, claiming to be
looking for a friend, and had bribed
the boys to let him into tho tent. He
made his excursions through the division from this
point. He must have been a man with a wonderful
memory, and had gained oceans of information
w ithout seeming to pump anybody. He tried to
bravo it out against the three men, but other mem
* bers of the Company were sent for. and his nerve at
last gave way. A court martial was convened, and
four days after his capture Smith was hung. While
he died*game and would admit nothing, it was sat
iMiictorily settled that lie caw from Johnston’s
army, and that he was old in the business. I was nt
the fl'Ot of the gallows aS he mounted it. and when
the noose was put over his head I heard him say;
• Gentlemen, it's ft d—d line morning to start on
such a journey as mine!”

THE PRESIDENT
Gives His Views Open Several
Leading Topics.
HIS COMING VISIT TO ATLANTA.
Ballard Smith's Interview in the N. Y. World.
• i>a. > <■ x. Septt inber 4. —Touching tho
recent agitation in tl'.c Grand Army, the out
givings of Tuttle and the Wheeling episode,
the president said:
“The soldier having laid down his arms,after
making so many sacrifices and enduring so
many hardships, having achieved such a vast
anil good work in perpetuating our republic,
should be pre-eminently the best citizen. When
he again in time of peace resumes Ids citizen
ship, his desire for the peace and quiet of his
country and its prosperity, entirely dependent
upon these, should Le emphasized by the very
trials he lias undergone. I do not believe he
can be carried away from the even plane of
that good citizenship by the devices of unscru
pulous men who would use him for partisan
purposes.”
I referred to a dispatch from St. Lottis inti
mating that there might be overt acts in that
city in retaliation for the Wheeling incident;
that his portrait would bo displayed at promi
nent points along the route of the Grand Army
procession with hostile intent, to see if any
demonstration should be made against it.
“I do not believe there is any truth in this,”
he said. “It is contrary to what I know to be
the spirit of the piunicipal and commercial
bodies which have invited me there, and which
I believe to be tho spirit of the whole
people of St. Louis. They certainly are
animated by the most hospitable intept
towards their September visitors, and will
leave nothing undone which the most courteous
host.can do to make tlie stay of the Grand
Army delegates as memorable and as pleasant
an occasion as possible. I believe that they
would omit to do anything which would inter
fere with the comfort and thorough enjoyment
of their guests. The display of iny portrait
there is certainly a very unimportant matter
wherein to incur the chance even of comment.
If its omission should in any way be regarded
as in the interest of peace and harmony I feel
sure there will be no attempt to display it.”
»*»»»*
HIS VIEWS AS TO A RENOMItfATION.
Concerning the question of his renomiuation,
Mr. Cleveland said:
“It seems to be the universal belief that a
president must desire a renomination. I can
not understand how any man who has served
one term as president could have a personal
ambition in securing a second term, with all
its solemn responsibility, its harassing duties
and its constant and grievous exactions upon
his mental and physical strength. His con
sent, it seems to me, to accept a second term
should rest only upon his sense of a solemn
obligation as a citizen and an appreciation of
his duty when called upon to bear his particu
lar part of the burden of cit
izenship. Thus the office can have —
at least, it can have for me—no per
sonal allurements. If my administration dur
ing my term should be useful to the people*
should respond to the wishes and expectations
of those who elected me, should justify the
reason for substituting in control of the gov
ernment the party which I represent for that
which had administered the affairs of the peo
ple for a quarter of a century, my satisfaction
would be complete. I hope my present term
may be concluded with profit to the country,
and with as few mistakes on my part as are in
cident to fallible human nature.”
MBS. CLEVEIANB.
An hour and more had passed, and the pres
ident had still, obviously, much work to do.
I hade him good night after his invitation to
come to the white house again the next day at
one o’clock.
At that time I again met Mrs. Cleveland
with tlie president. The day before she had
been dressed in some simple and most becom
ing costume of white, but her handsome ggwn
of this afternoon, as the other, I have not the
knowledge to describe. Whatever Mrs. Cleve
land wears or does seems to become her, to tlie
admiration of every man or woman who lias
seen her. It is the conventional expression,
even among,all the republicans that we are.
to speak ol a peculiarly stately and graceful
woman as “queenly.” If Mrs. Cleveland had
descended from a line of gentle ancestors —as
perhaps she has —with its origin lost in the
mists of antiquity, her simple ease in the place
she tills as a bride of only a little over a year
and graduate of a rural school of just a year
before could not be more graceful and grate
ful. All this is entliusia-m. but it is a senti
ment which is very clearly that of everybody
who has met her.
**«»**
THE PROPOSED EXTRA SESSION.
I asked the president as to his reasons for
not calling an extra session of congress to con
sider the questions of taxation left unsettled
by tlie last session, and which operated to pile
up in the treasury a useless surplus of some
seven millions of dollars a month. To this he
said :
••1 gave the subject the most careful study
and consideration. There was much to be
said on both sides, but, after considering the
matter in all its bearings, I decided that an
extra session was not imperatively demanded.
The convening of congress in extra term has
often failed to realize ithe anticipations of
good to proceed from it. But in this par
ticular exigency I should have called the
extra session if at any time the needs of the
country seemed to demand it. The expedient
we adopted of disposing of that part of the
surplus, the retention of which from the chan
nels of trade might have proven too great a
strain upon the country, by calling the bonds,
ought to subserve what is imperatively re
quired. It appeared more to the public inter
est that the members of the new congress
should spend the usual recess among their con
stituents,| and, |learn there by as long and as
intimate communion as possible just what the
people required of them. With the ample dis
cussion of the subject in the public press and
the discussion among tlie people themselves,
their representatives should be so educated to
a true understanding of tlie great matters at
issue,that speedy action ought to be taken after
the organization shall have been effected.”
******
A NATIONAL BOARD OF ARBITRATION.
As to some questions which I asked him
concerning the labor movement, and particu
larly its political aspects, the president said
that he did not consider it befitting for him
to discuss tlie subject in this form,but lie dwelt
witli great earnestness upon the recommenda
tion which he made in special message to con
gress, in April 188<>, and repeated in his annual
message in December of the same year, for
the enlargement of tlie present labor bureau
and adding to its present functions tlie power
of arbitration in cases where differences arise
between employer and employed. "I repeat.”
he said, “wliatT then urged, ‘under Our form
of government the value of labor as an ele
ment of national prosperity should be distinct
ly recognized, and the welfare of tho laboring
man should be regarded as especially entitled
to legislative care,' and I added, ‘though tire
importance of a better accord between these
interests is apparent, it must be borne in mind
that any effort in that direction by the federal
government mu* be greatly limited by con
stitutional restrictions.’
“Labor has it very clearly and very easily
within its power to demand and obtain froiii
congress all legislation within the constitution
which is needed for its protection and com
mensurate advancement in relation to the
interests of other elements of the body politic.
"As one means to this end I suggested as an
improvement upon a bill then pending in con
gress—which provided, in case of any import
ant dispute between employers and employee,
for the appointment ot a court of arbitration
in each ease, one member to be named by each
of tlie contending parties and the third by tlie
federal court of the district—the establishment
of a permanent board of arbitration in the
bureau of labor and the giving it such powers
and functions as w uild permit it to act when
necessary between labor and capital under such
limitations and u:>on such iweasions as should
be deemed proper and useful.
“I regret that in the press of other legislation
this proposed board was not estaldishtd.”
THE t ISIT TO ATLANTA.
The president looks forward with the great-
I est interest to his visit to th. 1 west, th" nortli
i west and the south. He is daily !■. : • ipt of
’ new invitations from varii t< ns .md vil
lages along the proposed n :..n«l in the an
| tieipation of his visit he is very sorry that the
exigencies of his duties here compel so speedy]
a return that he mv.s' abridge to the shortest
praeti- able time his >- y at each of the points
where he and -Mrs. Cleveland have already aj3
rang< dto stop. He expresses extreme regrew
also, at his inability to vi it many other yfneeS
to which good friends have most cordiallw
bidden him. The visit, as originally undew
taken, was only in r< i-: nee to St. Louis and]
Atlanta, and all other arrangements have
grown :ip from that, i : i.er the" towns to ba
visited being eu route or the circumstanced
being such as to make it very desirable anti
convenient to make a detour to see them. t
