Garfield at Chickamauga.
General Garfield, as chief of Rosecrans’
staff, had held firmly to the conviction that
Rosecrans’ army was able to meet General
Bragg at Chickamauga, notwithstanding the
superiority in numbers of the rebel army,
and the doubts of the large majority of Rose-
crans’ generals. The sequel showed that had
It not been for an unfortunate error in an
order written by Rosecrans himself. causing
some confusion to General Wood, Chicka—
mauga would have resulted in.a disastrous
defeat to the recels, instead of a rescue of
the Army of the Cumberland. ’
In massing Our left to resist a fierce on-
slaught of the enemy,the right was weakened
and while our left hurled back the rebel at-
tack, our right yielded, and was pressed so
severely that the day for a time seemed lost.
General Rosecrans had already given up the
fight, but Garfield inspired him with new
courage, and starting personally to the field
to rally the retreating Union troops, inspired
Thomas, too, who was holding out almost
alone, with fresh courage. It was almost as
timely and important as Sheriden's arrival
at Winchester. The Gazette correspondent
on the field, W. S. Foray, under date of
‘ September 21, 1863, after describing the
perilous condition of the Union army, speaks
of Garfield's ride and arrival on the battle-
field, as follows :
Just before the storm broke, the brave and
high souled Garfield was perceived making
his way to the headquarters of Gen. Thomas.
He had come to be present at the final con—
test, and in order to do so had ridden all the
way from Chattanooga, passing through a'
fiery ordeal upon the road. His horse was
shotunder him, and his orderly was killed
by his side. Still he had come through, he
scarce knew how, and here he was to inspire
fresh couarge into the hearts of the brave
soldiers, who were holding the enemy at bay,
to bring them words of greeting from Gener-
al Rosecrans, and to inform them that the
latter was reorganizing the scattered troops,
and, as fast as possible, would hurry them
forward in their relief.
Just upon the side of the hill, to the left,
and in rear of the smoking ruins of the house
was gathered a group whose names are des-
. tined to be historical—Thomas, Whitaker,
Garfield, Steedman, Wood. Calmlyv they
watched the progress of the tempest, specu-
lated upon its destruction and strength, and
devised methods to break its fury. The fu-
ture analyst will delight to dwell upon the
characteristics and achievements of each
member of this group, and even the historian
of the present, hastening to the completion
of his task, is constrained to pause a moment
only to repeat their names—Whitaker, Gar—
field, Granger, Thomas, Steedman, Wood.
The fight around the hill now raged with
terror inexperienced before, even upon this
terrible day. Our soldiers were formed in
two lines, and as each marched up to the
crest and fired a deadly volly at the advanc.
ing foe, it fell back a little ways, the men lay
down upon the ground to, load their guns,
and the second line advanced to take their
place! They, too, in their turn retired, and
then the lines kept marching back and forth,
and delivering their withering volleys, till
the very .brain grew dizzy as it. watched
them. And all the time not a man wavered.
Every motion was executed with as much
precision as though the trdops were on a
holiday parade, notwithstanding the flower
of the rebel army were swarming around
the foot of the hill, and a score Of cannon
were thundering from three sides upon it.
But our troops are no longer satisfied with
the defensive. General Turchin, at the head
of his brigade, charged .into the rebel lines,
and cut his way out again, bringing with him
800 prisoners. Other portions-of this brave
band followed Turchin’s example, until the
legions of the enemy were fairly driven back
to the ground they occupied previous to com-
mencing the fight. Thus did 12,000 or 15,000
men, animated by heroic impulses and in-
spired by worthy leaders, save from destruc-
tion the Army of the Cumberland. Let the
nation honor them as they deserveE—Uince'n-

“Equal States, Equal Men and
Equal Dollars.” ‘
In the House of Representatives on the
6th and 7th of November, 1877, there was a
debate on Mr. Ewing’s bill to repea the third
section of specie payments. Speeches were
made by Mr. Phillips of Kansas,Mr. Chitten-
den of New York, Mr. Felton of GeorgimMr.
Ewing of Ohio, and General Garfield. Gen-
eral Garfield said: .
The struggle now pending in this House is
on the one hand to make the greenback bet—
ter, and on the other to make it worse. The
Resumption act is making it better every
day. Repeal that act and you make it indef-
initely worse. In the name of every man
who wants his own when he has earned it, I
demand that we do not make the wages of
the poor man to shrivel in his hands after he
has earned it; but that his money shall be
'made better and better, until the plough-
holder’s money shall be as good as the bond-
,holder's money, until our standard is one, and
there is no longer one money for the rich and
another for the poor.
This is the era of pacification. We be.
lieve in the pacification of the country. That
is, we seek to pass out of the storm-center of
war that raged over this country so long and
enter the calm circle of peace. We believe
in the equality of States and the equality of
citizens before the law.
made great progress. Let us take one step
further. Let us have equality of dollars be
fore the law, so that the trinity of our politi-
cal crced shall be, equal States, equal men,
equal dollars throughout the Union. When
these, three are realized, we shall have
achieved the complete pacification of our
country.
"Maine’s vote is cast for you with my cor—
dial concurrence,” telegraphed Mr. Blaine to
General Garfield during the final ballot.
“The nomination is an exceedingly fortunate
one,” said Senator Windom when he
heard the result. “You have saved the
Republican party and the country from great
peril,” was the message John Sherman sent
to Garfield. “I go in for that nomination
with all my heart,” enthusiastically exclaim-
ed Senator Edmunds when he read the bul-
leliu at West Point. Everybody is happy.

Ham's EXECUTION as a Sim—After the
Long Island afiair,Washington was totally at
a loss for proper intelligence. and suggested
every temporary expedient . for securing it.
Nothing but the East River being now be—
tween him and the powerful enemy, it was
of the utmost importance that he should-be
warned in ample time of their advance. “As
everything,” he wrote to Heath, at Kings—
bridge,“in a manner depends upon obtainlng
intelligence of the enemy’s motions,l do most
earnestly entreat you and General Clinton to
exert yourselves to accomplish this most de—
sirable end. Leave no stone upturned,nor do
not stick at expense,to bring this to pass,as I
never was more uneasy than on account of my
want of knowledge on this score. Keep con-
stant look-outs,” he adds, “with good glasses
on some commanding heights that look well
on to the other shore.”
It was, in this emergency, when a succesful
accOmplishmcnt of Washington’s wishes
would have been of the greatest use to the
army, that Captain Hale stepped forward to
offer his services. It happened that he had
recently volunteered to act as one. of the
oflicers of Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Knowl-
ton’s new corps of Rangers,organized to ricout
between the lines, feel the enemy’s position,
and report dir‘e‘ctly to tile commander—in-
chief. Knowlton‘ was a gallant ofi‘lcer,a near
townsman of Hale’s, and must have known
his wortb,or he could not have accepted him
for the Rangers. Early in September, when
Washington’s suspense was keenest,the colo-
nel broached the matter of obtaining the de-
sired information to his own ofllcers, in the
hope that some one of them might be able to
serve the chief. The suggestion appears to
have deeply impressed Hale, who, after the
interview with Knowlton, went to talk the
subject over with his fellow—officers and col—
lege friend Captain William Hull of Webb's
regiment. This we know from Hull himself.
The two captains discussed the question of
undertaking the row of a spy. Hull used
every argument to dissuade Hale from the
dangerous service, and appealed to him as a
soldier not to run the risk of closing his
promising career with an ignominious death.
hale, however, although fully sensible of the
consequence of capture,» could think of noth -
ing but duty. He told Hull that for a year he.
had been attached to the army, and had ren—
dered no material service; that he wished to
be useful; was uninfluenced by the expecta—
tion of promotion or pecuniary reward; and
so far as the peculiar duty in question was
concerned, he felt that “eoerg kind of service
necessary to the public good became Iwnorable'
by being necessary.”
0211me and firmly deciding the question for
himself. Hale soon after reported to Washing-
ton his readiness to enter the British lines in
disguise. What instructions,what advice,what
cautions, he received from the general there
are no records to tell us. These facts only we
know certainly ; .that he suddenly disappeared
from camp, passing up the connection coast
changed his uniform for’aschool-master’s
garb, crossed. to Huntington, Long Island,
and then made his way to the enemy at Brook-
lyn and New York—never to return. After
making satisfactory observations, taking
sketches of‘works, and writing his notes in
Latin, he was on the point of returning to
the Connecticut shore, when he was seized
and held as a spy! A boat was to have met
him at Huntington Bay, and on the morning
of the 18th or 19th of September, as he was
waiting near the shore, the supposed craft
made its appearance; but he approached it
only to find that it was a yawl from a British
cruiser lying below, and that retreat on his
part was impassible. Ordered to surrender,
with the guns of the marines levelled at him,
he yielded to the situation, was taken to the
man-of-war,conveyed to New York,and there
delivered to the military authorities.
At New York,Hale was brought before Sir
Willian Howe, the English commander—in—
chief. An American spy at that time was
likely to receive but trifling consideration.
Hale received none. Four years later, when
Andre was captured, every attention and
comfort was accorded him by Washington’s
ofiicers during his confinement and trial. He
himself expressed his grateful appreciation
of their tenderness. But Andre was the ad-
jutant-general of the British army,and mixed
up with Arnold and Clinton in a dazzling
plot to obtain an American stronghold. He
was out on “official” business. In addition,
in 1780 both sides were treating each other
with more military respect than in the first
years of the war. In 1776 poor Hale was a
wretched Continental—rebel as well as spy—
and punishment could be neither too swift
nor too severe. Possibly in 1776 an English
ofiicer, caught in the American camp under
Hale’s circumstances, would have received
like treatment, so for as immediate condem-
nation was concerned. In Hale’s case cer-
tainly the treatment was.summary as well as
peculiarly heartless. The only relief in the
picture is the noble bearing of .the prisoner.
Instead of attempting a defence,or explaining
the papers found upon his person, he frankly
declared his rank in Washington’s army, and
the object of his visit to the Britisli camp. If
tradition and meagre records are correct, the
scene of his examination and sentence was
the little greenhouse in the garden of the old
Beekman mansion, on Fifty-second street
near First avenue, where Howe hadfixed his-
head—quarters. UpOn this confession the
British commander—and it is difficult to see
how he could have done otherwise—pro—
nounced him a spy,and ordered his execution
to take place on the following morning.
The “following morning” was Sunday: the
22d of September, 1776. Where Hale spent
that night, whether at the jail (the present
Hall of Records),or at some guard-house,does
not appear. One thingis known,that he was
put into the care of a provost—marshal of a
most inhuman sort,said to be the noted Cun-
ningham, whose name afterward sent a shud-
der through every one who chanced to become
his prisoner. Assured that his fate was sealed,
Hale requested that he might be attended by
a plergyman,but this was refused by the mar-
shal; so too was his request for a Bible. On
the fatal morning he was led out to the place
of his execution, which upon the best data at
hand appears to have been the Rutgers’ or-
chard,not far above Franklin Square,on East
Broadway,and there calmly awaited his fate.
Pending the preparations, an English ofilcer
received permission to have Hale remain in
his tent,.where the latter found time to write
letters to his mother and a comrade in the
army.
When Andre walked to the scafiold in
1780, no sign of faintness escaped him, but
bowing to all around, he said, at the closing
moment, “Gentlemen, you will bear witness
that I die with the firmness becoming a so!-
dicr." Eye witnesses on the occasion have
left the record that his self-possession
throughout the trying scene was perfect.
This was equally true of Hale, but Hale was
far from being a professional soldier, and the
thought of sustaining that character to the
end seems not to have occurred to him. Andre
could not belie the traditional courage of the
British officer. Hale cOuld not belie the cause
he had voluntarily espoused, and when sum-
moned from the tent where he hbd written
the letters, to suffer his fate, his heart found
spontaneous and unaficcted utterance in
words not to be forgotten. “I only regret.”
he said, to the few spectators present, "that
I have but one hfe to (ore for my country.”

of a purer patriot than Hale ?—HENRY P.

The 'Army Worm.
The terrible pest continues its depredations
all over Long Island from .Flatlands to Mon.
link. as far as we can learn. It is becoming
a very serious matter with many of the farm-
ers in this vicinity as to how they and their
cattle are to exist next Winter. It has not
only desiroyed all the late wheat that had
not passed beyond, the milk state by last
week, but also‘ the rye and oats. It rapidly
devours the young corn, and has eaten it so
low down that it will never sprout again. It
is also making good headway in the grass
fields. Its favorite food seems to be the
green blades of the wheat stalks. Fixing
itself by its legs upon the edge of the blade
it reaches forward with its head as far as
possible and eats toward its body, taking 011
a strip a quarter of an inch long and a thirty
and in about five seconds; this is repeated
until the blade is destroyed, when the worm
moves to another blade and begins its work
upon that. It eats also the heard of the
wheat, and where it is not too far advanced
sucks the whole interior from the kernel.
We have been shown a number of heads from
the farm of F, G. Sammis that were cleaned
out in this manner. It has also been done
in a number of fields. Where the wheat is
farther advanced, it eats the covering Of the
kernel, but does nt‘ go deeper. The heads

moth, the scientific name for which is
Leucanz'a unz‘puncta. They are nocturnal in
their habits, like the "cotton worm, whose
second cousins they may be called. The
moth is of a tarnished yellowish drab color
inclining to russet, with a small white dot
near the centre of its forewings and a-dusty
oblique stripe at their tips. It is rather less
than an inch long to the end of its closed
wings. If the wings are extended itis about
an inch and threequarters in width. '
The army worm‘varies in size and color

acteristics are so constant as to be readily
distin‘guished.‘ It has already appeared in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Itis

species from the variety found in the wild
cherry. and other trees.
J. H. Raymond living near Northport says
of it: This worm has repeatedly visited the
United States. It was very destructive in
New England and in New York State as long
ago as the year 1743, .and again in 1770,
17g0 and 1817. In 1864 it extended its
depredations from Massachusetts to Kansas,

lars. The eggs are probably laid at the roots
of timothy or other grasses in June or July
in this region. 'In New'Eugland this moth
appears in October and the eggs then laid do
not produce the worm ‘until the "following
Spring. After the worm is hatched i't-feeds
about a month, when it goes into the ground,
enclosing itself in a cocoon of earth or grass
and assumes the chrysalis state, from‘which
in about two weeks it emerges as a full fledg-
ed moth.

man flies which prey upon it. These files

these worms were so prevalent in Illinois,Mr.
Walsh discovered that a fly, not unlike the
common fly, deposited its egg in the army

put on to the Legislative Appropriation bill
as an amendment by General Butler, seven
days before the' adjournment of Congress, in
the Spring of 1873. As chairman of the
Committe on Appropriations, Garfield was in
charge of the bill. He opposed Butler’s
amendment earnestly, and voted against it at
every stage. There was a bitter contest,
which ended the day before adjournment in
the reference of the bill‘ to a conference
committee, of which Garfield was a member.
He made the report of that committee a few
hours before adjournment, and, in doing so,
said, “I was opposed to the increase in con-
ferencc as I have been-opposed to it in the
discussions and in my votes here; but my
assistant conferees. were in favor of the
amendment, and I was compelled‘tozchoose
between signing the report and running the
risk of bringing on an extra session of Con-
gress.” He was the only member of the
conference committee of six who opposed
the grab, and _he subsequently voted for the
bill with the obnoxious amendment solely to
save the country the expense of an extra
session. His share of the swindle he re-
turned to the Treasury, but. said nothing
about having done so tillthecharge was made
in the following campaign that he had pock—
eted it. He then published a letter, going
over his whole attitude in reference to the
bill and announcing that his share of its pro—
‘fits had been left in the Treasury under such
orders as left it beyond the reach of him-
self or his heirs. That statement buried the
slander until the present time—Ne» York

APlcture of Real Devotion.
While I, was lecturing at Washington, says
Burdette of the Burlington Hawkeye, I saw a
lady with an intelligent, pretty face, and
bright, eloquent eyes, that were rarely lifted
toward the speaker, and then only for a flash
of time. They were bent-upon her husband’s
hands almost constantly. Brilliant and ac-
complished a few years ago, she liad gone
down into the world of voiceless silence, and
now all the music and all the speech that
comes into her life comes through the tender
devotion of her husband, and, as I talked I
watched him telling off the lecture on his
nimble fingers, while her eager eye glanced
from them tohis sympathetic face.‘ It was
a pretty picture of devotion. They were so
young to have this cloud shadow the morn-
ing of their lives, but as I glanced from the
voiceless wife to her husband I thought how
beautifully the sunlight of his devotion was
breaking through these clouds and tinting
even their afilictions 'with a tender radiance.

Garfield at the Wheel.
The following stirring lyric, which is wor-
thy of wider influence as a campaign song
than it can exert in the columns of a news-.
paper, was sent in to the Journal by a
writer who modestly conceals his name. It
has in it the true martial ring, and as the first
blast in a campaign destined to be memora—
ble in the history of the country and the re~
publican party, it deserves an attentive hear-
ing.
An incident which occurred on this ex—
pedition illustrates Garfield’s decision and
force of character. An unusually violent rain
to such a, height that steamboat men pro-
nounced it impossible to ascend it with sup-
plies, The troops were almost out of rations
and the rough country in which they were
was incapable of supporting them. Garfield
had gone dOWn the river to its mouth and
ordered the captain of a small steamer,
which,had been in the, quartermaster’s ser—
vice, to take a load of supplies and start up
the river. The captain declared that it was
impossible. Then Garfield ordered the cap-
tain and crew on board, stationed an army
officer on deck to see that they did their
duty, and “himself tobk the whee.” The
captain still insisted that it was impossible
for any boat to stem the raging current, but
Garfield turned her head up the stream and
began the perilous trip. The water was
‘sixty feet deep, the tree—tops along the banks
were nearly submerged, and the steamer was
whirled about as if she were a skiff. At
night-fall the captain of the boat begged per-
mission to tie up, declaring that it would be
madness to try to stem such a current in the
dark; “but Garfield kept at the wheel,” and
finally, in a sudden bend in the river, the
boat was driven .with a full head of steam
into the quick-sand of the bank. 'All eflorts
to get her off were. futile. Finally Garfield
himself steered a small boat across the river,
made fast a line, and by.rigging a Windlass
with rails, succeeded in getting her afloat.
The perilous journey occupied nearly two
days and nights, during which “Garfield was
away from the wheel only eight hours.” The
discomfiture of Humphrey Marshall was
completed in March by another movement of
Garfield’s, which dislodged him from his po-
sition in “Pound‘Gap."——Boston Journal,

Garfield the best. Epitome of
Republicanism.
In General Garfield the sound views, the
high spirit, the patriotic purposes and princi-
ples of the Republican party have a most
fitting representative. The St. Louis com-
mittee, which was to call a Convention if it
had become necessary to organize against a
third term, promptly congratulated him, and
were left without a duty except that of
working for his election. The Independent
Republicans of New York, the Republican
League of Philadelphia, the Young Repub—
lican associations in Illinois, and elsewhere,
representative of an energy, a conviction,
and afidelity which will be felt everywhere
in the campaign, enthusiastically accept a
candidate for whom they will most gladly
labor; and there is perhaps no man ’~ who
could more closely unite the different wings
of the party, and secure a more harmonious
and triumphant campaign, than the leader
whose portrait we present to-day, and whose
name will ring from every stump from June
to November.—Hmer’s. . . .
Mr. Kinsella, editor of the democratic
Brooklyn Eagle, who was a member of con-
gress with General Garfield several years
ago, is honest enough to admit that the gen-
eral’s statement of his connection with the.
Credit Mobilier enterprise disarms criticism
on that account. He adds: "Garfield has
not made a great fortune through his public
services. He is a man of inexpensive habits,
of orderly life. and it is believed of moder-
ate fortuue. It would be hard to convince
his congressional associates of any party
that he is not an honest man in apecuniary
sense.” This plain statement from a demo-
cratic editor who knows what he is talking
about is in striking contrast with the petty
slanders which the demoralized democratic
press generally is indulging in. But let'the
mud throwing go on. The stale scandals of
a newspaper which defended Tilden’s cipher

or by addressing ALEXANDER JOHNSTON,
The following is the poem ‘alludod‘toln
our last in thanbituary notice of Captain
Sides“? "
“My monar'iliéiw, “put an Bible in
the care of a friendto be kept for me, who
was then a child, ,until I should be grown
older, and it was given to me with than her
verses. My name, too, is ‘Cbuhe.’ She
was agodly W11, and I shall soonmeet
her in.heaven.”H9w._many godly mother: will
meet wandering sons there to whom they
have given “The Mother's Gift," with their
prayers!
THE MOTHER’S GIFT.
[Linea addressed “To my Charlie" with a Bible.)
So young, you cannot pleasure take
In thin—but, for your mother's mks,
The gift you will not spam;
And, oh! my child, in after years.
W hen forced to shed life’s bitter tears,
Then to this volume turn.
._.~—/~
Too young thou art to prize It now,
With merry laugh and sunny brow;
But when by earth's cares driven.
You’ll love to read of rest Ibo".
And prize it for a number’s love,
With which, dear boy,'tis given.
When tempted, love to go astray,
Pause! pause, my child l—oh! turn away
From Sin's alluring form;
Go to thy chamber, am], when there,
Seek in thy mother’s gift, and prayer,
A refuge from the storm:
Read, my dear son, “believe and live,"
Then not in vain this book I give
To my own darling boy;
’Twill smooth for thee life’s thorny path,
Teach thee to shun thy Maker's wrath,
And wear His “crown of joy."
When grief shall check thy young heart's
mirth,
To weep that she who gave thee birth
Has passed into the skies;
Then ponder o'er thy mother’s gift.
It will thy drooping spirit lift,
And dry those weeping eyes.
And as your hands its pages turn,
Resolve, dear boy, of Christ to learn—
Be lowly, meek and mild;
Remember, she who gave this book
May, though unseen, upon thee look,
Rejoicing in her child.

COUNTRY LIFE.
3. II. STODDARD. '
Not what we would; but what we must,
, Makes up the sum of living;
Heaven is both more and less than just
In taking and in giving.
Swords cleave to bands that sought the
plough,
And laurels miss the soldier’s brow.
Me, whom the city holds, whole feet
Have worn its stony highways,
Familiar with its loneliest street—
Its ways are never my ways.
My cradle was beside the sea,
And there, I hope, my grave will he.
Old homestead! In that old, gray town,
The vane is seaward blowing,
Thy slip of garden stretches down
To where the tide is flowing;
Below they lie, their sails all furled,
The ships that go about the world.
Dearer that little country house,
Inland, with pines beside it; .
Some peach lees, with nufruitful bonghs,
A well, with weeds to hide it;
'No flowers, or only such as rise
Self-sown, poor things, which all despise.
Dear country home! Can I forget
The least of thy sweet trifies ?
The window-vines which climber yet,
Whose blooms the bee still rifles ?
The roadside blackberries, growing ripe,
And in the woods the Indian pipe?
Happy the man who tills the field,
Content with rustic labor;
Earth does to him her fulness yield,
Hap what may to his neighbor.
Well days, sound nights, 0 can there be
A life more rational and free?
Dear country life of child and man!
For both the best, the strongest,
That with the earliest race began,
And hast outlived the longest.
Their cities perished long ago;
th the first farmers were we know.
Perhaps our Babels, too, will fall.
If so, no lamentations,
For mOlher Earth will shelter all, .
And feed the' unborn nations;
Yes, and the swords that menace now,
Will then be beaten to the plough.

But as I sat beside the little stream
Iwatched them part, with just one angry
word. ‘ -
She passed me quickly,with a down droop-

Red-cheeks, eyes flashing with a scornfu

A hasty step,!as by deep passion stirrcd' ;
She did not turn, nor look back where she
_ stood,
But vanished quickly in the thick green wood .
I watch: (1 him lulu—then noted how he gazed
At mm .ung form; he whistled low,
And softly to himself; in deepest thought
He whispered, “is she vexed r" then was

To bring her back ;‘ but on she went that day;
Then he went, too—but ’twas the other
way. ‘
