against the rocky

ribbed bclphts behind whieli lay the Army of the Potomae. Yet 12 hours lieforc that, when Meade proposed that Slocum should move out thcwlmlc rifflit wlliff, half of the army, and assail Lee's left Hank, the latter hud advised against a-sault. The ground was unfavorable, be declared, and Meade's chief engineer, Warren, agreed with him. Slocum’s columns must descend steep and rugged s1i.|m s in order to get at the Confederates and also march over a wide open space commanded by artillery, much the same formation as that which discomfited Pickett's line in its fatal charge next day. C(ki1 judgment held that Meade's position was not a place to attack from, but when, with the army half licked, it was proposed to beat a retreat, then was tho time to throw caution to the winds. Retreat in that hour would demoralize the army, and it was better that it should lose the day and save its honor than that Held and honor both be given up without a blow. These two incidents give tho key to Slocum's character as a military man—eau tlon when everything might bo gained and nothing lost by it, lioldness when tberw was nothing else to do but‘‘be bold, be bold, and evermore tic bold.” He was one of the few able and faithful commanders who escaped hero worship, hut left behind a war record to stand the test of time. Slocum's career opened with promise, hut not with brilliancy. He always accomplished what was expected of him and climbed up slowly, grade by grade, from the command of a regiment to that of an army, giving a good account of himself as a regimental, brigade, division and corps leader successively, and that without a single backward step. Vet he was often placed In positions where an error In judgment or a blunder in action on his part might have resulted in disaster or even changed tho course of the war. A nd his long service did not pass without some stirring battle incidents. In hisflrst hattleaspuri ous Confederate deserter attempted Hi lead him into ambush by a trick worthy of savage cunning, and in his last a real deserter was given a chance to prove his good faith and save the Union cause fnmi jeop-

ardy.

It is not necessary to account for the gen oral confusion at Bull Run; it was there, and early in the (iglit Colonel Slocum was leading his regiment, the Twenty seventh New York, toward what was supposed to be, and really was, the enemy's line. All at once a regiment in gray was seen moving in a direct ion which would soon bring it into collision with his own. lie halted the Twenty seventh and prepared to fight, when some of the New Yorkers began to shout frantically, *'Kor Cod's sake, don't lire on our own men!" The Twenty-seventh was brigaded with the Kighth New York, which was uniformed in militia gray, and in the forward movement the Kighth had disappeared from view in a direction which might have brought it to the position whence the strange regiment had come. The excitement among the men was intense. The flag of the graycoats was furled, and its true character could not be made out from a distance. .Suddenly a man, stragglingN'tween the lines, ran to Slocum, and pointing backward tothe strange command said, "That regiment yonder wants to surrender." Slocum drew bis sword up for a downward cut and shouted, "Tell the truth, or I’ll split youintwo,” but the fellow without a wince repented the words. Meanwhile the regiment in quest ion was coming to close range. Colonel Slocum, his adjutant and the captain of the nearest company advanced to the front, bearing a linen havelock for a (lag of truce, and get ting within bail called out, "What rogi ment is this?" Instantly the flag was unfurled, shewing the stars and bars, and some stray shots were fired at the truce. Slocum at once called back to his men, ''Give it to them, boys!” but nearly all of them waited for the truce party to retreat before acting on the order. The Confederates, who were the Fourth Alabama, waited for nothing and poured a stinging volley into the New Yorkers. Twenty fell, chiefly from the advance company. The Alabamans meanwhile had found shelter behind some bushes, making the contest unequal, and Slocum promptly led his men toward a sheltering ridge. About that time he fell with a bullet in his thigh, but his men rallied in tlie position lie had

of danger were widely separated he de tached bis brigade^ one by one, so that for the time Nang they fought under l*ort< r's division generals. The timely re enforcement, as a whole, saved the day for I*orter. hut Slocum received no honor for it except what was awarded his brigades individually. Mad ho held the command together and defended some key jioint or led a grand charire, he would have liecn showervd with praises. The division lost 2,000 men. one-third of its numls rs. Three days after the buttle of Gaines Mill Slocum's division was stationed along White Oak Swamp, at Brackett's and Charles City fords to prevent the crossing of Mngrudcr's und Unger's di visions on the flank of the nnnicsengaged at the battle of Glendale. The Confederate generals nc\cr ceased to blame Mngruder and Huger for not* forcing the passes ami stampeding McClellan’s army. I served in olio of Slocum's brigade at the Charles City ford and saw two Confederate at tempts repulsed. I saw our butteries and regiments handled and shifted with an alacrity and execution never surpassed In my tlinf years' experience, and it always seemed to me that Slocum, with his men and guns, controlled that event ratherthan Magruder and Huger. Only once did the opportunity come for Slocum to put our entire division in an a.sault. That was at the storming of Cramp ton's Pass. South Mountain, Sept. 14.1802 1 served in the regiment which led the column as skirmishers, the Twentyseventh New York. The division was at rest on the roadside aliout two miles from the pass when the order came to us to ‘‘go forward and find the enemy.” We went at double quick nearly the whole dis tance and soon brought up in front of a walled roadway covering the mouth of the i pass und tilled with Confederate troops, Drawing a heavy tiro, we lay down, and, however long it seemed to me then, I am positive now that in less than 20 minutes we heard the rush of the storming column behind us. and although the enemy had natural defenses superior to fieldworks the division fought its way through the gap In less than two hours’ time. It was short and sharp, and no time wasted in 1 reconnolterlng—which was well, for we met fresh opponents after thepointof van tage was in our hands. Slocum’s work at Antlctam was nega tlve. He formed the division for a bayonet ; charge, but it was countermanded, yet the sight of his long line of fresh men de terred the enemy from a charge which might have turned the scale. On that battlefield Slocum succeeded Mansfield, who fell at the head of the Twelfth corps. With those troops he helped to check Stonewall Jackson’s assault at Chanccllorsville and with them made a forced march to Gettysburg on July 1, occupying Culp's and Powers' hills barely an hour before Lee or-

“TELL THE TRUTH, OK I’LL’’ indicated and made a good light. They also avenged their lo.ss upon the miscreant responsible for it hv running him through with a bayonet. In the reorganization of the forces after Bull Hun by McClellan, Slocum was given a brigade in Franklin's division. He brought it toa high state of discipline, !>ciug a regular, and led it in battle at West Point, Ya., May J, 18(52. Although still a colonel, on the formation of the Sixth corps Slocum was placed at the head of the First division. In the first battleof his division Slocum voluntarily yielded tho honor of leadership for the goial of the cause. During the crisis at Gaines Mill he was sent across the Cbickuhominy to re enforce Fitz John Porter’s corps. Porter’s line was hard pressed, and when Slocum learned that the points

8LOCUM IN' 1862. dered F,w ell’s to seize them. His line was stripped of brigades and divisions to re enforce other generals, and at one time his entire corps front w as manned by a single brigade, General George H. Greene's. Un der those circumstances a Confederate division assaulted his works, but was held at bay by Greene’s men until Slocum brought up supports from the First corps. After Gettysburg the Twelfth corps was transferred to the west. Slocum commanded the department of Mississippi un til the fall of Atlanta and then succeeded j "Fighting Joe" Hooker as leader of the I Twentieth corps. On the march to the ; sea he commanded Sherman's left wing, the Army of Georgia. The second Incident with a Confederate deserter was at Bentonville, N. March 1 lit, 1865, the last battle of Sherman's ! army. Slocum’s column, accompanied by | Sherman in person, was matching toward Halcigh on one road while Howard with the right wing took a road several miles east across a region of almost impassable swamps. On the morning of the IHth Sherman np|H>liitcd a rendezvous on the banks of the Netise for the columns to unite, and rode off across the swamps to join Howard. Soon after Slocum's troops took the road they were confronted by Con federates, and every step In advance devel- ’ oped stiff opposition. Sherman had Insisted that there was no enemy on his front other than struggling cavalry, but the gen erals leading Slocum's advance reported a strong enemy well intrenched. In a short time a staff officer brought before the commander a young man clad i In a gray uniform who said he had important news to reveal. He declared that General Joseph K. Johnston,Sherman's old opponent before Atlanta, had gathered a large force on Slocum's front and that very morning had announced to his sol dlers that he would fall upon the widely Seim rated wings of Sherman's iirmy, crush each in detail and then join Lei* at Petersburg. The stranger claimed tola* a Union prisoner who had joined the Confederate army on purpose to desort. He gave the name of Williams, his residence as Syracuse, and Captain Butler as his company commander. Slocum wasaresldentof Syra cuso, and the alleged Williams mentionod incidents showing that he was familiar with that city. Calling up another Syra cuse officer, Williams was identified. Ho reiterated his statements and solemn warn ing. which the sound of increased tiring on the outposts apparently confirmed. SloI cum took the man at his word, called a halt and ordered his soldiers to intrench a line, which they did quickly, using fence rails for barricades and their tin plates and bare hands for spades. Some of the generals wished to charge the enemy boldly and drive him out of the road, insisting, as Sherman had done, that there was nothing of consequence in the way. To this j Slocum rejoined, "I can afford to bo charged with being dilatory or overcautious. but I cannot afford the responsibility of another Ball's Bluff affair." An aid was dispatched to Sherman with the Injunction, “Don’t spare horseflesh!” and the linesset for defensive battle. Half an hour later the enemy charged all along tin* line, rr|icating the assault again and again. Johnston was Indeed there, 30,(KMt strong, but Slocum held him off until Howard’s troops crossed the swamps to his eupiHirt. So the Bentonville informer was as true us the Bull Hun pretender had been false. Geo hue L. Kilmer.

ENGLAND I’KEl'AKING HOPES TO SECURE THE BULK OF AMERICAN TRADE. luipert ing Largely of Haw Ylaterial** at Very 4 heap l*rlccs They Acknowledg* That They Arc “rrcparlnB I or Increased Activity"—A Point Against Americans. Tie* London board of trade returns for the first three months of this year present some* features that are of particular interest to American manufacturers. In the British free trade country it appears that the value of the imports this year to March 31 was $54,000,000 greater than during the first three months of 1893, an increase of 11.2 rt cent The exports of British and Irish produce, however, decreased by $3,100,000 during the same period, a falling off of 1.1 pr cent. The London Economist finds comfort in this large increase in the British import trade, stating that: "The increase in tho imports, apart from the exceptional movements in cotton and cereals, is to a considerable extent due to larger importations of the raw material for our manufactures. That goes to indicate that our industries are experiencing a certain quickening and are preparing for increased activity. ” From the American standpoint this “preparing for increased activity" means that the British manufacturers are either preparing to deluge those great “markets of the world” that free trade theory would give tons, but which Great Britain largely controls, or else that she is “preparing for increased activity" in securing the American trade that our free traders desire to place at the feet of foreign countries by lowering our protective tariff. Out of her total increased imports of $54,000,000, Great Britain purchased $37,000,000 more of raw cotton during the first quarter of 1894 than she did in the corresponding period of 1893. It is a question how much of this raw cotton will return to the United States in the way of manufactured cotton goods should the Wilson bill become law. Certainly some of it will, and considerably more than we would otherwise purchase if the McKinley protective tariff were to remain undisturbed. It is well to remember that every dollar's worth of cotton goods imported means a dollar’s worth less to be manufactured in the United States—a fact of direct interest to mill owners and towage earners, both in the north and in i^ic

south.

In the Interest of American manufacturers and labor it is well to look into the “preparing for increased activity” on the part of the British manufacturers in other textile raw materials as well as cotton, and thus we find that the imports this year to March 31, as compared with the corresponding period of 1893, were greater by the following percentages: FOR THE TEXTILE TRADES. •-Per cent of increme. Quantity. Value. Raw cotton 9U.4 71.11 Haw (lax 145.1 110.9 Haw hemp 2!(.» 10.4 Raw Jute 2S.lt 05.4 Haw silk s.l s.o Raw wool 1.1 0.3 American manufacturers can form a very good idea, from the foregoing exhibit, to what extent this “preparing for increased activity’’ is being carried on in Great Britain. Larger importations of raw cotton by 99 per cent, of flax by 45 per cent, of hemp and jute by almost 30 per cent each, and of raw silk by 8 per cent, within the brief term of three months, mean an almost corresponding increase in the output of the English manufactured goods, which have to be disposed of either in the “markets of the world” or in the United States. As England takes very good care that the former art* always well stocked, it is but natural to suppose that she is “preparing for increased activity” iu the United States. But a still further very important point is to be noted in the foregoing ex hihit. Where there has been an increase of 99 per cent in the quantity of raw cotton imported into England, the increase in value was but 71 per cent. In the ease of flax the increased value was 3.i per cent less than the quantity, and in hemp it was 19 >o per cent less. In the ease of raw silk the value has not changed, while in jute it appears to have advanced. Where tho raw material Inis boon purchased much below the values of a year ago, the British manufacturer will have a still further advantage over the American, because he is well supplied with cheap raw material, while we are not, owing to the uncertainty of our future industrial conditions through the tariff tinkering of the free traders.

Cholera Alarm.

St. Petersburg, July 17.—The cholera epidemic is assuming alarming proportions. The present visitation is of a much more intense and more fatal character than the outbreaks of the two previous years.

Vanhaija, Ills.. July 17.—The drought in this section is beginning to look serious. In the southwestern part of the county the corn is burnt up and will scarcely make fodder. Throughout the county rain is needed badly and 1 fanners are beginning to feel discouraged over the outlook. The prospects for a good corn crop up to two weeks ago were promising, but now unless rain comes soon it will be cut short.
