GP THE VIOLATED CONTRACT. As THE KBITS ig besieged with queslions relative to the particulars of the contract for advertising in the Gazette, which was broken by the latter, we will briefly state the facts in the case. Be lieving thoroughly that advertising is a necessary feature of every successful Sybusiness, TUG NEWS wished to make use of the columns of the other Terre Haute papers for this purpose. A contract was made with the Express which will be carried out, Our business manager went into the Gazette office Friday and stated to W. C« Ball, the senior editor of that paper, that he ^Wished to contract for five hundred lines of space in the local columns for the purpose of advertising TUB News and would pay the regular price. Mr. Ball made ^iio objection whatever to this and taking two of their blank contracts he filled them out and signed with the name of the firm, retaining one himself and giv ing one to Mr. W. H. Cornier, our bital ness manager, a fao simile of which appears in another column. The next day "-3tfr. Conner went in with the advertisement which was printed in last Saturday's NEWS. He wan met by Hpencer £.1'\ Ball, who bonded the advertise-
irient back without reading it and declined to use it. When asked if he would not stand by a contract signed by the Arm he said he would not in this case Ho was told that he might contradit editon ally is the Gazette the state-
ments made in our advertisement if he wished, that our only object was to fur|Attish the prospectus of THE NKWS to the readers of all the papers in the city. He said it was not worth while to argue the g^rjuestlon, that they should ignore the contract. W. 0. Ball stood by and heard the conversation but did not join in it,
Yesterday, believing that they had cooled down and that reflection had shown them that no honorable business firm would decline to fulfill a contract made and signed in good faith, we prepared the conservative advertisement which will be found on our first page, carefully worded so as to not give offense. It was taken in to', the Oasetle oftice by Mr. Conner, who stated that there was no personal feeling in the case, that it was simply a matter of business, that we had purchased five [hundred lines of thoir local space and were ready to pay for it and we should expect them to keep their contract, Bpeacer F. Ball again refuBOil to look at the advertisement and said to Mr. Conner that not one line of advertisement of Tw? Xswa should ever appear in the Garotte, contract or no contract, and It was not worth while to bring any more In.
This is the present status of the question, which we present for the consideration of fair minded jwople. We believe that Terre Haute, a city of forty thousand people, can support three daily papers, Tho Express is an ably conducted Republican paper, the Gasette is an equally capable Democratic organ. THE Nswts has no desire to injure either of these publications. We claim to be an independent, non partisan paper and, after eight months of critical inspection by the public, we think they will admit that we have kept our promisee and substantiated our claims. We have had many intimation* that w*» wore injuring the circulation of the Gu,- "tie which this last act of tiu:r* show* to be the case. With their advantages of and influence one would suppose they would at least stand up ami fight but it!
seems they prefer to run and hide, or in other woixls to shoot from luuho&h and stab in tho hack.
Oxs day last week a member of the Albany Legislature knocked down a reporter in the lobby of the House and the next day a reporter whipped a member at the same place, The week lefOre-an ex-Oongre«man pulled a reporter's noae and was shot dead in the €apit©l at Washington.

equal to the emergency. In getting away as for as possible from the barbarity of the past we do not want to lose entirely the manly art of self defense.
TUB public will watch with much Interest the court martial now preparing to investigate the conduct of Lieutenant Steele who is alleged to have greatly wronged -private WildU The con rt martial is usually a star chamber tribunal whose arbitrary findings are beyond public criticism. The case recently brought to light where a soldier sentenced for life for a crime of which he was innocent, has been pardoned by the President, suggests that there may be many more of the same kind. Theeourt martial which commenced to-day is to be held with open doors with especial provision for representatives of the press. Fortunately the military trainiog of President Harrison was not of the kind that is secured at West Point and instils the belief in the mind of the officers that the common soldier is no better than a beast of burden. He shows a disposition to teach a lesson to the West Pointers which has been needed for many years and public sentiment will sustain a rigid investigation."
ReciNA ltoTiiscbIVD, daughter of a merchant at Port Townsend, Wash., started around the world yesterday to beat George Francis Train. People have wished for along time that the latter would travel and if he does not make the tour on the schedule time they will extend his leave of absence. But it does seem, somewhat of a risk for agirl twent\ years old to attempt such a trip as this, ^felly Bly was several years older and had had along experience in newspaper work which is in itself a well rounded education. The training of a reporter in New York City prepares one for almost any emergency that may arise arid Nelly Bly was under the protection of the New York World which gave her a prominence that was a protection. Much as we believe in the independence of women and in affording them every liberty they desire, it is with some misgiving that we see this young and inexperienced girl start out to circumnavigate the globe.
ENGLAND understands the nature of the strike in all its phases pretty well by this time. There has been very little time for the past six months when she has not been in the midst of an uprising of the laboring classes. Yesterday thirty thousand dock men marched through the streets of London with riotous demonstrations. At Liverpool the crowds of strikers charged upon the police with clubs and brick bats. In North Wales one hundred thousand miners are now out of employment, twenty thousand engineers have joined the strike and many manufactories have had to close down for want of coal, thus throwing thousands of other men out of employment, and this in turn has caused a commotion on the stock exchange. Let Emperor William continue.Ihisl labor conference.
8WI4BRINTKNIKNT PORTKR expects to transmit to Congress by the last of July, if that body shall still lie in session, the figures Bhowing the population of the United States. There are still a few months for cities to crow before their combs are cut by cold facta and figures which will not sustain the lies that have been told about the population since people got their breath from the last census. The enumeration always pricks the balloon and confounds the real estate men. Terrs Haute must make haste and annex as much new territory as possible aad if we could strike another oil well in time to bring in a crowd we might distance Ft. Wayne which is our only competitor far die third place in the state.
TUK Council meets to-night in regular session. As the time for bids on the aerial track does not expire until April 1st, that question will not be up for consideration. What other scheme Mr. Hybarger and his partners may have been incubating during the past two weeks will not be known until the chickens make their appearance, but when we hear that there is to be a council meeting we involuntarily put ouT hand on our pocket books.

Hktnpton Iil It. "When tbe na turns northward 1 tarn frith it," sold Sherman at Savannah twentyfive year^ rt r~ Inst Christmas.
But 35 Feb. 1 did Sherman's army get a tray from Savannah. Ti»e Confederates were loot 7 *r the Uni general to attack either '«n or Augusta. Sherman passed between and took Colnmbia, S. C., on the 'h which he systematically employe ir: N*ver do what your enemy expects you to. Tbe army subsisted on the country as b'f re. Howard, commanded the right wing, cam the left
SchofieJd's corps, 21,000 men, had been detached from Thomas and sent down the North Carolina coast to make an attack from that sjde,with
Terry and Palmer. Howard's army found Hardee's men across the way both at River bridge and Beaufort bridge, on the Salkefaatciue. A brisk fight took place, in which General Wager Swayne lost a leg.
PALMETTO PLAO.
At River bridu Gena. Mower and G. A. Smith made a in/irkable flank movement The soldiers, their generals at their head, waded three miles through the icy waters of a swamp three to four feet deep. Hardee retreated to Branchville, behind the Edisto, burning bridges. Sherman-was with the right wing.
Columbia is 128 miles from Charleston by raiL Howard crossed the Congaree river, after some opposition, and entered Columbia Feb. 16,1865. The left Wing threatened Augusta and pushed on to "Winnsboro, thirty miles north of Columbia, at^ the same time that Howard entered the city,
BURNING OF COLUMBIA. During the night of Feb. IT, the beautiful city of Columbia was 4aid in ashes. Each side blames the other for the burning. General (now United States Senator) Wade Hampton had occupied the place with cavalry, but retired on the approach of the Union army, setting lire to a large number of bales of cotton before he left. Gen. Sherman says the flames spreading from this was what destroyed Columbia. Among the buildings burned was the beautiful Columbia state house, the pride of South Carolina.
OLD STATE HOUSE.
Won! was brought to Sherman after he bad retired at. night that the city was in flames. Me sent hasty messengers to his generate to put men at work at once extinguishing the dames, and these did all in their power to that end, but without much avail. A guard of Union soldiers protected the famous palmetto monument during the stay of Sherman. In the state house that was destroyed the South Carolina legislature called the first state conventiou that passed an ordinance of secession.
Howard's men destroyed everything at Columbia that could bring any aid or comfort to a Confederate army. "Having utterly ruined Columbia," says Sherman,

TERRE HAUTE DAILY NEWS, TUESDAY, MARCH 18.1890
Covenanters, went to church as though nothing had happened. A little after noon & tremendous screeching and whistling came from down the Cape Fear river. It was a Union steamboat, up ihe river from WUxningtoo, and Wilmington had fatten into the hands of Terry and Cox. It had been defended by the Confederate general Hoke, -who abandoned it Feb. 31. Cox, with part of SehofieM's army, entered it. The steamer brought Sherman the flrst news from the world since his army had left Savannah. He sent back by the steamer orders for Schofisld and Tory to meet him at Goldsboro. Schofield entered that place March 21.
It now remained for Sherman to make his way to GoldsbortJ. That would close the march through the Carolinas. But it was necessary to deceive the Confederates as to his real destination, as before. Swarms of negroes and refugees had hung upon his army on the whole route. They hampered tbe advance, as many of them were feeble old people and children. All manner of expedients had to be resorted to to convey the extra travelers in safety. ||al
THASfSPOBTISa PICKAKINjriES. Sherman waited till he could send the negroes and refugees to Wilmington, then resumed bis march.
There was now to t6 feerious fighting. Leaving Fayetteville, Sherman made a feint as if to attack Raleigh. The Confederate forces under Bean, Hoke, Hardee and Wharton had meanwhile been concentrating in that vicinity,"!^
'BATTLE OF AVERYSBORO Sherman left Fayetteville March 15. The roads were swamps, as before, bus the soldiers had had so much practice in uuuumg corduroy that they were not long delayed by that difficulty. Averysboro is between Fayetteville and Raleigh. Kilpatrick's cavalry trotted gayly out the road towards Averysboro. Slocum was pehind Kilpatrick with four divisions of the left wing, while in the rear of Slocum was Howard with four divisions of the right wing. But tho wagon trains of both, accompanied by the rest of the army, were on their way to Goldsboro.
When Hardee withdrew from Fayetteville he intrenched himself on a narrow neck of land between the Cape Fear and South rivers, with 20,000 mm. A swamp was in front of htm. With this force he hoped to hold Sherman till the other Confederate generals could come up with their forces. Then, although the Confederate army was much reduced, there would still be a respectable force to confront Sherman.
Kilpatrick's cavalry skirmished with Hardee's rear guard March 15. At noon Thursday, the 16th, Slocum was ordered to advance and dislodge Hardee. "I proposed to drive Hardee well beyond Averysboro,' says Sherman, "and then to turn to the right by Bentonville for Goldsboro." The general himself was present at the fight,- watching operations from an old cooper shop, where he had taken refuge from the rain. Gen. Albert Rhett, a brigade commander from Hardee's rear guard, was brought to him at the cooper shop, a prisoner of war. He wore a splendid uniform, with "high jack boots, beautifully stitched," which amused tho Union commander not a little.
Gen. Williams' corps led Slocum's advance. He opened the attack by a successful flank movement on Hardee's left. A general engagement followed, in which a brigade of Union cavalry was at first driven bock by McLaws' Confederate division. Then Slocum advanced his whole line. Hardee was driven back to his intrenchments, and during the night of March 10 he made his escape.
BATTLE OF BENTONVILLE After Averysboro, Sherman resumed the march to Goldsboro. Carlin's division led the advance of the left wing. Dibrell's Confederate cavalry mot him on the Goldsboro road and offered stubborn resistance. This was foMowed with an infantry attack, Carlin's division was driven back a mile through the swamps, when the gallant stand made by Morgan's division, particularly by the brigades of Fearing, Mitchell and Vanderveer, checked tbe Confederates. Fearing was wounded.
A messenger was qnickly dispatched to Sherman," with the right wing, six miles away, telling him that Slocum "bad run up against Johnston's whole army." Sherman immediately ordered Blair and Logan to go to Slocum from the right wing, and started thither himself, Slocum arranged his army lor the defensive with all speed. Kilpatrick came up at sound of the artillery and massed his cavalry ou the left. Slocum arranged his force behind a barricade during the night of March 19.
It was truly Johnston's whole army opposed to Slocum. The Confederate attack began at 3 p. ra., March 19, and lasted till dark. Hardee had joined Johnston after the fight of Averysboro. Johnston had discovered that Goldsboro was the objective of the Union army, and set himself to oppose the design. He ascertained that the two wings were separated six miles or mere, said his hope was that he might mass his whole army against them, one at a time, and beat one or both.
During the sight of tbe 19th Johnston constructed a work in line with that of Slocum and between Slocum and Howard. Howard dipped past this line and aronnd Johnston, March 90. On that day Johnston made a second attack, but. after hard fighting, mtreated to Smithfield, leaving the Union army to march undisturbed on its way to Goklsbaro. ScboBeld and Terry were now toe near for the Confederates to resoatn in that vicinity.
Bentonviue was the last heavy battle at the war between Johnston and Sherman. Johnston had here 30,000 men. This was the only serious attempt made to check Sherman in his march through Georgia and the Carolina*. The first attack agai&ct Carliu'a division came dangerously aear being successful on the 19th. The Confederate torn in the battle was 2,S2S the Union, !,&& The attack at JohaaSoa Bectonvi lki was a surprise to Sherman. March SI the t&ree intake of Schofield. Terry and Sherman, aftogetber a great heat 108,000 strong, met at Goyshctet. Sherman's second grand march was ended.

An lnetdrat of Lift iu a Canadian t.amber CUNP. When A roan -gets sick or meets with an accident in a Canadian lumber camp he neither expects nor receives anything like good nursing. If he is patient, the men will do what they can but if he shows a disposition to whine* he is not considered worth any extra trouble. At Camp two or three winters ago a man named Peters as hurt by a falling tree —badly urfc. The camp was forty miles from a town or doctor, the snow three feet deep, ana nil they could do was to rub the man with whisky and put him in his bunk. While no bones were broken, it seemed certain that he was internally injured and that he could not live beyond a day or two. Business was driving, and there were no men to spare, and after Peters had been rubbed down the boss said: "Now, Peters, you understand how it is you'll probably die." "Yes.' "Probably die within ^twenty-four hours." "Yes." "And so, you see, anything «xtra will be a dead loss to me." "I see, but in case I die you'll have manners enough to knock the men off for half a day, won't you? I also want a good square grave," "But, Peters, we are rushed, and to do that will cost me $50 worth of time." "How much will you give me not to die?'' 'Til say $85—that is, if youll forego a funeral if you do die." "That looks fair," said Peters, after a little thought,
1,and
I'll do it. Shake."
They shook and Peters set his teeth hard and determined to live. His only medicines were kerosene oil, whisky and vinegar, and his only delicacies fat pork and bean eoiip but in three weeks he was out and at work. "Couldn't you make it §80?'' asked the boss as he came to settle. "For why?"' "Because if you had died I should have had to wrap the body in a $3 blanket, and the boys would have insisted* on a drink all around after the job." "Couldn't possibly think of it," replied Peters. "After I made tho bargain with you I found three broken ribs, and I had to splico and grow 'em extra."—New York Sun. __________
