[Copyright. 1H04. by American Pre“» Affil iation. Book rights remrveil.J HE BOI.D Incur _ .- sions of (ienerul —■ x, H Kariyto the Poto- - mae and acrotut on norlhvrn soil In the KUinmcr of Ittlil had tho rffret of drawing a now system of fTS^warfant to tho i iShcnandoah val-V^-'loy, or the valley of Virginia. From tho beginning of the war tho rogion so convonlout for the shelter of a hostilo force on tho Hanks of a Union army operating in northern Vir ginia had not lieon occupied by a single good, consolidated Union force. Stonewall .Jackson fought one army under Fremont and another under Hanks on alternate days in 18tiS anddefeati'd both. After that Slgel had command of a separate army, General J. U- Cox of another and General B. K. Kelley of another, all charged with looking after the Confederates In and around the valley. Ijitor Milroy and Kelley and French hail Union commands supposed to Iki available to prevent the Confederate occupation In finis', hut Iasi made It a highway when he chose to anil used it for a granary at leisure. Next came Crook and Sigol again and then HuntiT-^these last in IHti-l—and at the end of a hard sum mor’s campaign Karly held I he valley, and the Union forces, composed of the remnants of these commands—the Nineteenth corps from the southwest and the Sixth corps from the Army of the Potomac— w’ere huddled around tho Potomac, with General Grant on the ground devising sonio method to solve the problem of protecting Washington. The four old departments were consoll dated and formed Into tho middle military division under Sheridan. His forces constituted an army. He sides the Sixtli and Nineteenth corps Crook had two divisions of infantry In his West Virginia army. To the division of cavalry brought ou from Petersburg by Sheridan was added Wilson’s from the same army, Averell’s division from West Virginia and a new brigade under Colonel C. K. Unwell General A. T. A. Torbcrt, whose division followed Sheridan from the peninsula, beeame ehief of the cavalry of the new army, anil General Wesley Merritt took command of Torbcrt’s division. Sheridan had asked for cavalry to solve the question of holding the valley, and now he hail three di\Mons and an extra brigade led by Wilson, Merritt and
A yen'll.
In little more than HO days Karly sufTer eel defeat in two heavy battles and went Whirling up the Shenandoah valley before Sheridan's all conquering battalions, which advanced as far ns Staunton, tho Confederate key to the region. The position held by Sheridan was one that would compel him soon to advance and fight or retreat down the valley. ! There wi n 1 no railways south from the Potomac west of llie Hluo Kidgc, ami ho was nearly laO miles distant by wagon roads from his base. In view of these ills- ; advantages, he asked permission to completely abandon the valley after laying it waste from the Potomac to Staunton, leave' a guard on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio road and transport the bulk of his army to Petersburg to aid in an attaek on Hieiiinonil. General Grant left the decision with sherlelun, and on Oct. ti the retrograde movement begun. In his memoirs Sheridan says: "The cavalry as it retire-el was stretehi'd across tie eounriy from the Blue llidge to the Alifghanica, with orelers to drive off all stock and desstreiy all supplies as it moved northward. The Infantry preceded the cavalry, passing down tho valley pike, and ns we marched along the many columns of smoko from burning stacks and mills filled with grain indlcutc'd that the adjacent country was fast losing the feature's which hitherto had mnelo it n great magazine of stores for tho Confodcr ate armies. ” The army moved back northwarel and halted at Cedar cree k on the heights in tho angle formed by that stream and the Shenandoah. TIm- next battle was delivered by Karly and t<s)k place on this lie’ll. The Confederates appeared at Fisher s hill, just across the valley, on the l^th of October, and on the same day Sheridan was summoned to Washington to confer with General Grant ntmut the movement on Gordonsvllle anil Charlottesville. Before leaving the camps Sheridan posted ('rook’s command, the Kighth corps, along the valley pike on the left. Next eau-.o the Nineteenth corps—Emory—along the east bank of tho creek, with tho Sixth corps, under Wright, on the right of the Nineteenth. The cavalry hovered on the extreme flanks, watching tho roads that come In from the east and west. Leaving the command to General II. G. Wright, Sheridan set out on the 16th. On the 17th Sheridan had finished his conference and had returned as far as Martinsburg. On the isth he started up tho valley pike on horseback and halted in
front, had N'cn enveloped by the Confederate divisions of Kershaw, Hnmseui, Pegram and Gordon. At the same time Wharton's division, formerly Breckinridge's, advanced against Emory's Nineteenth corps. Crook was overwhelmed and his ranks scattered, hut at the ramp of the Nineteenth corps the division of Glover stom! at arms, having been ordered out on a rcoontiulssunoc at, daylight. The cannon of Crook had been captured
and turned on his men.
Generals Wright ami Emory were promptly at tho Iront, and having formed a line of di fense awaited the renting of

Success or failure in transplanting a large tree may lx- said to depend on the manner in which the tree is taken up
and Pegram had passed around Crook, and deflecting struck the Nineteenth corps in the flank, tieing sheltered from view hy the heavy fog that hung over the valley. The Confederate cannon soon enfiladed the works of the Nineteenth corps, and General Wright ordered it to retire. Crook's command lost 1,800 prisoners, iis camp equipage and wagons and also the commander of a division, Colonel Joseph Thoburn, killed while struggling to rally his men and avert the disaster. The Sixth corps promptly came forward from its rear camp, anil now Karly sutlen-tl a
check.
General Ricketts, commanding the Sixth, was wounded, anil General (Jetty took the corps and soon formed a lino across the \\ inohestor [like, with batteries planted to command the roads down t he valley. The Sixth corps here made a countercharge, bill was checked by the artil-
lery of Early.
Meanwhile Rosser’s Confederate cavalry had swept on north by a wood west of tho pike to gi t in the Union n-ar. Torliert ordered all of his command out to meet Rosser and prevented his reaching the pike, leaving a column there 1 to cope with him. He then moved the remainder to
the left Hank of Wright,
lied his forces for a second blow, and pressing down on the east to avoid the direct attack on ground taken up by Wright along the pike he appeared U'fore Torbcrt s cavalry and engaged him, when Sheridan arrived to resume command. Sheridan reached the front at 1 o'clock and saw the repulse of Early on the last
position.
Between 8 and 9 o’clock he had started through tho town of Winchester and noticed that the people were alert, and some of them seemed jubilant over something privy to themselves. Tho sounds of firing, however, were growing louder and nearer, as though the Union troops wore retiring. A few miles brought him to crowds of wounded men and tho usual panic stricken mob that is always farthest from a battle anti most quickly tlemoial-

Mfa. Harriiion'n Death. Indianapolis, Oct. 17.—Dispatches from Minneapolis announce the death there of Mi's. Bettie L. S. Harrison, widow of the eldest brother of the expresident. Tlie remains are to be brought to this city for interment. This will cause a postponement of Mr. Harrison’s political trip to Fort Wayne for one day. The trip will lie made on Friday nnder the same schedule as arranged for the
day before.
AS THE MI N RECOGNIZED HIM.
Ized. These people assured Sheildan that tho army was In retreat, broken up and lost, tsheriilan kept on calmly, his horse at a walk, pondering on some way out of the trouble. Orders were given to form a guanl across tho pike anil stop the ret renting men, and at first Sheridan contemplated moving his army back to Winches- t
ter.
At this juncture an offlici came from tho tmttle ground confirming tho news, and Sheridan set out across fields toward the front. As the men recognized him l they threw up their hats, and shouldering their muskets fated the other way and fol- ; lowed. Sheridan said: "If I hud been with you this morning, this would not s have happened. We must face tho other
way and recover our camp.”
Arriving within three miles of the ex- 1 tremu front of the old camp, Sheridan met the first organized laxly of troops—Kicketts' and Wheaton's divisions of the Sixth corps. These troops had retired less than
two miles from thoir old camp.
Farther on he met Getty’s division on a hillside in position, and riding up the steep to them he took off his hat and was received with clieeis. A little farther on ho met Torbcrt, who, with his cavalry, was resisting the enemy's advance. Torbcrt said, “My God, I am glad you've come!" Turning to tho front again, Sheridan was greeted with a line of regimental flags that rose up out of tho ground to welcome him. These wore the colors of Crook, whoso men hud been at the extreme front and hail been surprised at the sudden at-
tack of the morning.
In a few moments Generals Getty and Wright, both wounded, reported, and with Crook gave Sheridan an account of tho
disaster.
Feeling uncertain about I.ongstreet’s
method tho ends of the roots are cut off, and the natural result is that there is j too much leaf transpiration for the reduced roots to cope with, and the tree becomes sickly. When trenched, as at , H, the soil should lie removed, and with a steel fork tho soil is gently pulled away from tho roots, leaving them comparatively uninjured, and the tree is lifted with the same sized ball of earth as in the other ease, but the fibrous
J roots are retniuod beyond it.
These roots can be bundled together as their ramifications will allow. Then each string of roots, being covered with moss, mats or bags, as circumstances demand, is tied up to tho trunk. The roots may by this means bo kept damp
until replanted.
In replanting plenty of sharp sand should be on hand to work among the rootlets as yon proceed, us this induces the formation of fresh rootlets. Fine leaf mold is also advantageous. We usually run it through a riddle to get it fine enough to work in among tho rootlets. The roots should bo laid out ra dially from the main stem of the tree on a prepared bed of soil, only laying enough roots to slightly cover the ground, then working in among them r. little of your sand raid leaf mold ns they seem to require; then cover all over with a fe\v inches of soil and prepare another bod; then lay the roots out again as yon did before, thus spreading tier above tier until till the roots are firmly replanted in as natural a manner as possible, finally beating or treading down tho soil, but being careful not to injure the roots in so doing.

It is an easy matter to keep a liealthy palm healthy, but it is a difficult matter to recuperate a sick palm. Give the palms lots of water at the root, not a little drop, but enough at ti time to soak the whole ball and Ix-irin to run out at tho bottom, and if your room is warm J do this every day — that is, if your \ palms are healthy. Once in two weeks | or three weeks iu mild weather take tho 1 palms out to tlie back kitchen or woodshed, or down cellar and sponge the dust off the leaves, using plain soap and wa-
: ter.
In a greenhouse palms are usually grown in a temperature of 60 degrees to (>5 degrees iu winter, and tho atmosphere is moist, and they are watered liberally. But on account of the moistnre laden benches or floors on which the pots stand and tho moisture in the air the necessity for frequent watering at tho root is not nearly so great as it is in the case of palms in a dwelling
house, where tho temperature is usually !" <,r tlie coming llni'ty-six hours arc (H or over, and the atmosphere dry. ils follows as received by IT. S
