(iordon.the ^tonewall Jackaon of 1864 5, tells the story from the lecture platform to enruptuml audi-

mces, although we are now In the thirtieth year of peace. The following description of the famous attack whicli he led against Grant’s lines at Petersburg, Manh ‘J5, 1865, 1 hea.nl from his own lips in 1878, and about that time another auditor, Henry VV. Grady, put it in print in the column of war annals in the Philadelphia Times. Having been a participant on the Union side in repelling the assault, the narration was one of thrilling interest to me. In the following extracts fn»m The Times’ article are given the chief points of the brilliant forlorn attempt to raise the siege* and unite the armies of Johnston

and I>*o:

You remember the situation of affairs in Virginia about the 1st of March, 1865. The valley c ampaign of the previous summer, which was inaugurated for the purpose of efTerting a diversion and breaking the tightening lines about Richmond and Petersburg and from which so much had been expectecr, had ended in disaster. Grant had massed an enormous army in front of Petersburg and Richmond, and fresh troops were hurrying to his aid. Our army covered a line of over 2U miles and was in great distress. My corps (Stonewall Jackson’s old corps), after severe and heavy work in the valley campaign, hail been ordered back to Petersburg and placed upon the right wing of the army. I had general in tructions to protect the flank of the army, prevent General Grunt from turning it, and above all to protect the slender line of road from which solely we received our scanty supplies. We were almost continually engaged in lighting, making feints, protecting our skirmish lines, which the enemy were feeling and pressing continually. Before daylight on the morning of Die 2d of March, 1M15, General Lee sent for me. 1 mounted my hors* at once and rode to the general's headquarters. I reached the house in which he was staying at about 4 o'clock in the morning. As 1 entered the room to which I had been directed I found General Lee alone. I shill never forget the scene. The general was standing at the fireplace, his head on his arm, leaning on the mantelpiece, the first time I ever saw him looking so thoroughly dejected. A dim lamp was burning on a small center table. On the table was a mass of official reports. General Lee remained motionless for a moment after 1 opened the door. He then looked up, greeted me with his usual courtesy, motioned me to the little table, and drawing up a chair sat down. I sat opposite him. *’I have sent for you. General Gordon,” he said, “to make known to you the condition of our affairs and to confer with you as to what we had best do." The night was fearfully cold. The fire and lamp both burned low as General Lee went on to give me the details of the situation. “I have here,” he said, “reports sent in from my officers tonight. I find, upon careful examination, that 1 have under my command of all arms hardly 45,000 men. These men are starving. Their sufferings are terrible and exhausting. My horses are broken down and impotent. 1 am apprehensive that. Grantgmay press around my Hank and cut our sole rAnaining line of supplies. Now, general,” he said, looking mo straight In the face, “what is to be done?*' With this lie laid his paper down and leaned hack in his chair. I replied: “Since you have done me the honor to ask my opinion, 1 will give it. The situation as you portray it is infinitely worse than I had dreamed it was. 1 cannot doubt that your information is correct. 1 am confident that one or two things should be done at once. We must either treat with the United States government on the best terms possible, or we should concentrate all our strength on one point of Grant's line—selecting some point on the rigid bank of the Appomattox-assault him, break through his lines, destroy his pontoons, then turn full upon the flank of his left wing, sweep down it and destroy It if possible, and then join General Johnston in North Carolina by fom l marches, and combining our army with his fall upon Sherman.” "And what then?” “If we beat him and succeed In making considerable battle, treat at once for terms. I am forced to the conclusion from what you say, sir. that we have no time for delay.” I finally submitted the plan of battle to Cleneral L**e, which he approved and ordered executed. It was briefly this; “To take Furl Sted-

start. i n© suauen can aisconceneu me somewhat, but the rifleman on my right came to my assistance by calling out in a cheerful voice: “Oh, never mind us, Yank. Lie down and go to sleep. We are just gathering a little corn. You know rations are mighty short over

here.”

There was a patch of corn between our lines, some of it Mill hanging on the stalks. After a few moments there came back the kindly reply of the Yankee picket, which quite reassured me. He said: “All right, Johnny; go ahead and get jronr corn. 1 won’t shoot at you.” As I gave the command forward the man on m\ right seemed to have some compunctions of conscience for having Frilled the suspicions of the Yankee pi* Let wluv^ad answered him so kindly, and w ho the next moment might 1m Surprised and killed. Ho he called out to him: “took out for yourself, now, Yank; we're going to shell the woods.” This exhibition of chivalry and kindly feeling on both shies and at such a moment touched me auno.-t as deeply as any minor incident of the war. 1 quickly ordered the two men to fire. “Bang! Rang!" Two shots broke the stillness, and 1 commanded, “Forward!” The chosen UJOsprang forward eagerly, followed by the uxmen, and for the last time the stars and bars were carried to aggressive assault. In a moment the axmen were upon the abatis of the enemy and hewing It down. I shall never know how they whisked this line of wire fastened obstruction out of the way. The I0U overpowered the pickets, sent them to the rear, rushed through the gap made by the axmen up the slope of Fort Stedinan, and it was ours without the firing of a single gun and with the loss of but one man. Hew ah killed with the

ba > one!.

The three companies who were to attempt to pass the reserves and go into the rear forts followed and pa .bed on through Fort Stedinan. Then came the other troops pouring into the fort. We captured, I think, 9 pieces of artillery, 11 moi iars and about 600 or 700 prisoners, emong whom was General McLaughlin, who was commanding on that portion of the Federal line. Many were taken in their bed*. The prisoners were all sent across to our lines, and the other troops at my command were brought to the fort. I now anxiously awaited to learn the fate of the 900 w ho had been sent in companies of 100

among fruit growers than co-operative spraying? asks The New England Homestead. In some sections, in seasons favorable for insects or fungous development, whole areas are practically rendered unproductive because of ravages of these two classes of pests. The beneficent effects of spraying are well known to all wide awake fruit growers and farmers. Familiar with the evil and knowing the cure, would it not be a cheap and effective method of ridding fruit sections of pests and at the same time adding to the general thriftiness of

the trees?

Arbor day is now generally observed in nearly all of the states, especially in the older ones, where farming operations are conducted on business principles, and in the western states, where the dry, arid plains render the desert winds and heat intolerable. Having laws for the encouragement of tree planting and highway ornamentation, why should not fruit growers associate themselves together into a pest protecting society, or, t»etter yet, hire some reliable jierson to do the necessary spraying? The chemical materials are cheap, and pump, barrel and nozzle can be bought at what

Every hour was bringing heavy re-enforcements to the Federalsand rendering I my position less and less tenable. After a brief correspondence with General Lee it was decided to withdraw. My loss, whatever it was, occurred in withdrawing under concentrated fire from forts and infantry. The flghty ing over the picket lines ami main lines from t his time to tl. 3 surrender was too incessant to give me an opportunity to ascertain my loss, i; was considerable, and, although I had inflicted a heavy loss upon the enemy, I felt as my troops re-entered Colquitt’s salient that the last hazard had been thrown and that we

Of emirse il wasa most desperate and almost hojieless undertaking and could be Justitied only by our desperate and hopeless condition if we r - malned idle. We both recognized It as the

forlornest of forlorn holies.

General tee sent me, in addition to my own corps, a portion of Longs!reel's corps (Picket t's division), a portion of A. P. Hill’s and a bony ofcavalry. During the whole night of the 24lh of March I w as on horseback making preparutIons for disposing of troops. About 4 o'clock in the morning 1 called close around me 30 axmen and four companies, 100 each, of brave men who were selected to do this hazardous work. I spoke to them of the character of the undertaking and of the last hope of the cause which was about to be confided to them. Around the shoulders of each man was bound ! a white strip of muslin, which Mrs. (Jordon, who sat In a room not far distant listening f r the signal gun, had prepared as a means of recognition of each other. The hour had coil", and when everything was ready I stood on the breastworks of Colquitt's salient andordend ! two men to my aide with rifles, who were lo Are the signal for attack. The noise of moving our own obstructions w as going on and at traded the notice of a Federal picket. In the dark-

ness his voice rang out:

'•Hello there, Johnny Itehl What are you I making all the fuss about over there?" The men were lust leaning forward for the

tually famished, anti when they found themselves \ ithin our camp, surrtiutided by an abundance of bread and meat, they fell to and ate a square meal. The time thus lost was fatal. Our cannoneers stood to the guns, our infantry lined (he para- j pets on the flunks and in front of the as sailants, and the golden hour for Gordon and Lee wits added to the eternity of hy- j

gones.

The attack was received and repelled by the American Horticultural society prothe Ninth corps.

A Word of Caution* The New York Tribune says: Now that black moires have become fashion- | able it is well to recall the fact that | these gcmils are not equal to satin or i faille froncais in durability. The process of watering them, which necessitates tho use of heat, tends to weaken the silk unless tho fabric is of a pure, unquestioned quality. A good quality of moire will probably wear almost as well as satin, but inferior qualities of watered silks are to lie shunned, whether in moire antique or the softer moire fnmcais. In spite of the present popularity of black, it will find a powerful rival in the new Carmelite browns, which are a dull, neutral color, more becoming to tho complexion than black and equally , suitable as a foil for brighter colors.
