Crawfordsville Daily Journal, Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, 17 April 1890 — Page 4

There's a corset that isn't a corset, a waist with straps for the shoulders and rows of buttons to button on skirts and stocking supporters and so forth—the Ball Waist —and that's about the whole of it. No you can put it in the washtub—no metal in it or on it.

It is worth your seeing, if for nothing but how to sew on buttons-to button easy and never comc off, and how to make buttonholes wear forever.

Women differ in their ivays of thinking and dressing as well as in other ways. This waist is for women whose minds are made up that they won't wear corsets.

There's much to be said on both sides but did you ever hear of a woman who hadn't made up her mind in

some

way and is there any

possible use in trying to get her to change it She will and she will or she won't and she won't.

You can get the Ball Waist and wear it a week or two or three and, if you don't want it, take it back to store and get your money

'1 hey Never Full.

J. N. Harris, 3 Fulton Market, New York City, says: "I have been using Brandreth's Pills for the last ten years. Thoy area wonderful medicine. There is nothing equal to them as Blood Purifiers and Liver Regulators. Bnt I wish to state how remarkably they cure rheumatism and how easily I was affected by rheumatism of the legs. My business (wholesale lish dealer) naturally leads me to damp places. I was so bad I could not walk, and at night I suffered foarfully I tried Balsams, Sarsaparillas and ail kind of tinctures, but they did mo no good. 1 was afraid of being a cripplo. I finally commenced using Brandreth's Pills. I took two every night for ten nights, then I began to improve. 1 continued taking them for forty days and I got entirely well. Now, whenever sick I take Brandreth's Fills. They never fail."

Brandreth's Pills are the oldest, safest and best blood purifier'and purgative. They are purely vegetable, therefore harmless. They always produce the same effect. Other purgatives require increased doses and finally cease acting altogether. A course of one or two of Brandreth's Pills taken each night is a positive cure for oonstipation, headache and all bilious disorders.

Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug and medioine store, either plain or sugar coated.

The Forces That Fought the Civil War.

THE UNION AND CONFEDERATE.

The Southern Volunteers and ConimrlpU. Rally of tlie North at the Call of President Uncolii—Organization and Equipment.

The surrender of Loo's command at Appomattox, April 9, 1S15, was takeu as a signal for all the distant fories to follow tho example. During the month of April'and up to May 2», forces varying from 1,000 to SO,000, and amounting to nearly 150,000, laid down their arms, the last being the Trans-Missis-sippi Army under E. Klrby Smith. Smith surronderi.il about 20,000 men on the SGth. On the 13th of April Secretary of War Stanton ordored tho enrollment of volunteers discontinued. The disbandment of Union troops began April ?.), three days after Johnston surrendered to Sherman, and the great armies of both sidos were soon reduced to masses of citizens.

In April, 1SG1, the United States army numbered ubout 16,000 men. The force comprised flvo regiments of artillery, six of cavalry and nineteen of infantry, and was broken up into small detachments and posted across the country from coast to coast.

The states that contributed to the Confederate army wer« fourteen in number, and their aggregate population, Including slaves, was about 12,000,000. The states of the Confederacy were eleven in number. Thenorthwestern counties of Virginia seceded from the old staU and joined tha Union, and the eastern portion of Ten-

UJTION snuTiAMAX. nesseo adhered to the Union cause. The border slave states, Maryland, Missouri and KeutucWy, supplied soldiers for both armies. The population of the slave states included about 4,000,000 slaves, and the free states of the Union had a population of about 20,000,000 whites. The

Cy

opulation of the north was largely Increased serviceable material during the war through immigration, while that of the south decreased through the constant emigration of those subject to military duty who were not In sympathy with the Confederacy.

After deducting the slaves and the white population of tho border states who did not unite with the Confederates, and the refugees, the south hail probably less than S,000,000 people, and put nbout 1,000,000 men Into the field, or at least had them under arms. This estimate includes local troops. The north, with its30,000,000 population, to whichshould be added white and black refugees from the south who contributed soldiers, and the immigrants, put about 2,250,000 men into the field, aud at the close of tho war hod about that number of civilians subject to military duty. When the war ended the north had about 1,000,000 men in arms and the south surrendered nbout 175,000. The south bad a population from which to draw its armies •mounting to about one-fifth of that of the north.

HOW IT WAS DONE.

South Carolina seceded from the Union Dec. 20, 1880, and on tho 27th and 30th of that month Fort Moultrie, Castle Pinckney and the United States arsenal at Charleston were seized by the state authorities of South Carolina. One after another the remaining states, afterward forming tho Con'ederacy, seceded, and as far as possible seized the forts and arsenals within their borders. On the 4th of February a Confederate convention assembled at Montgomery, Ala., with delegates from South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Delegates from Texas joined on Feb. 14. A provisional congress was organized and a constitution was adopted, with the election of Davis as president. Davis appointed Leroy Pope Walker secretary of war, and on March 1 Davis himself assumed military control of affairs in the seoeded states. The next step was an act by the provisional congress establishing an army of 100,000 men.

One of the provisions made by the Montgomery congress established a regular army of 10,000 men, to be recruited from the several states and be well omccrcd and equipped. The troops, which were organ ized under the calls for volunteers and also under the later system of conscription, retained throughout their state designations.

At tho outset the states which were 'threatened with tho war on their soil kept-ift'elr soldiers on an independent basis. Beauregard, who was in a a Charleston harbor with a force limited to 5,000 men, had South Carolina troops, with a few

other states. He acted under orders Of the Confederate secretary of war, and his command was known as the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, but the organizations under him were classed as the Army of South Carolina. At Pensaoola, Fla., Bragg was over a force called the Army of Pansaoola. It numbered 6,000 men, and was composed of troops from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida. Louisiana maintained a state army and nary until after the fall of New Orleans in 1603. Virginia seceded April 17, and R. E. Lee was appointed major general of the state forces on the 28d, and the Organization of state troops was carried on until June 8, when, by proclamation, the governor turned over the state army and navy to the Confederacy.

CONFEDERATE MILITIAMAN.

The great need of the Confederates was anus and equipments and munitions. Large quantities had been seized in the government arsenals located in the south. Still there had not been large supplies at anyone point, and those seized were not more than would supply DM local troops. Tba musket* were chiefly old Hint, locks and had to be chuugod to percusilon oaps before they could bo used. There were no armories in the south for the iiianu facture of small arras, tho'government manufactory being at Springfield, Mass., and as a result the Confederates were not thoroughly equipped in this respect until they received regular supplios from abroad. After that time they had the advantage on many battlefields, for they were equipped with new Enfield rifles from the noted English armory.

The first few months was tho stags In which "one southerner could whip five Yankoos," and, also, when the current opinion in the south was that the war "wont bo much of a fuss, only a frolic." Two or three sharp battles changed all of that, and after the first six months the authorities were

never again harassed, as they had been during the first thirty days, by an over supply of volunteers. During tho winter the soldiers whose camps were in the vicinity of their homes were permitted to go home while there was no fighting going on. Cavalrymon ard artillerymen owned their horses and were sent hoino to recruit them or exchange them for fresh ones. Many of these did not voluntarily return, and as the twelve months of their enlistment were drawing to a close, some of them took tho view that thoy would consider the contract ended. Foreseeing tho evil, the Confederate congress prepared a conscription act, which was approved April IS, 1802, annulling all volunteer contracts and holding to service during the war oilmen between the ages of 18 and 85.

The first call for volunteers to sustain the Union was Issued by President Lincoln April 15,1801. It was for 75,000 militia for a service of three months, and twenty-five states and the District of Columbia responded with an aggregate of ever 90,000. The Twenty-ty-sevauth Pennsylvania militia reached Baltimore on the 19th of April without muskets. The Sixth Massachusetts reached there the same day, fully equipped, and was followed by the Seventh New York.

The volunteers were enrolled in companies of 100 each and elected their company officers, and the companies were ordered to a rendezvous, where temporary quarters were provided in halls and barracks. Here they were formed into regiments of ten companies each, and the captains elected the field offioars. The regiments when completed were sworn into the United

States service for three months. Du ring the first three months the presf dent issued three more oalls for troops to serve the United States, and there were furnished under them

CONFEDERATE TODAVK. 700,000 men, principally for three years. New York furnished thirty-eight regiments, aggregating 30,000 men, for two years. The work of recruiting went on so rapidly that by Dec. 1 the government had 000,000 volunteers In service. The next call was issued at the close of the Peninsula campaign in 1SC2, and was for 800,000 for three years. Over 400,000 men were furnished. This was followed by a call for 800,000 militia for nine months. Less than 00,000 men responded. During the year Congress authorized a government bounty of $100 to all who served two years. In October, 1863, a call was made for 800,000 men for three years, and this was increased the following February to 500,000. In February, 1863, congress passed an act for enrolling and drafting. The enrollment Included all citizens between 20 and 45 years of age, with some exceptions. Substitutes, or a commutation fee of $300. was permitted. In drafting, the names were written on paper and drawn from a revolving wheel At the same time the government bounty was increased to $300 for raw soldiers and (400 for veterans who had served nine months or more.

Subsequent calls by the president were: For 200,000 men, March, 1884 600,000, July, 1864, and 300,000, December, 18tH. There were several calls for militia for various terms.

Speed of Klectrlo Cars In Streets. The board of aldermen in Boston recently passed an order limiting tho s)eed of electric cars in tho suburban districts to twelve miles an hour, and in the moro crowded streets to soveu miles per hour. It is argued that If the speeds mentioned were the average speeds, including stops, there would be nothing to complain of. For the suburban districts twelve miles per hour is altogether too low a limit aud does not permit of rapid transit in any sense of the word. With au average of ten or twelve stops per mile, the average speed cannot exceed six or eight miles an hour—about the speed of an ordinary horse car.—New York Commercial Advertiser.
