STONEWALL’S DEFEAT.
HOW A COLONEL OUTMANEUVERED
THE GREAT GENERAL.

1862—Kimball’s Masterly Tactics.
[Copyright 1890, by American Press Association]
HE fame of many
leaders in the civil
war is yet to be
fixed. “There, for
instance, will
“Stonewall” J ack-
son stand? It has
been said that the
newspapers made
Jackson by crying
up his little vic-
tories over the
scattered bands of
Union troops in
t h e Shenandoah
valley. The other
side of his experi-
ences—the adverse
side—plays little
or no part in the
friendly annals of
his struggles. His first formidable cam-
' paign in the valley began with a disaster.
He was commander of the department,
was met on ground of his own selection by
an obscure Indiana colOnel, and was round-
ly whipped and driven from his position in
a total rout. The colonel won a general’s
star by his victory, and became. latcr,Brevet
Maj. Gen. Nathan Kimball.
The prize at stake was the commanding
position of IVinchester and the control of
the rich valley of Virginia, and Col. Kimball
undertook to defend it without guidance
or instructions from his superiors.
On the morning of the battle, March 23,
1862, Jackson sent a message to his chief,
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, saying:
“With the blessing of an ever kind Provi—
"Wmcu Ei‘t E R '
dence I hope to be in the vicinity of Win-.
chester this evening.” He was in that vi-
cinity, with his face turned the other way,
» however, and not “kind Providence,” but
plain Col. Kimball, U. S. A., commanded
the situation.
The forces in “Stonewall’s” ranks at this
time numbered about 5,000 men, and con—
sisted of three brigades of infantry and one
of cavalry. The Union forces in the valley
at the time consisted of two divisions of
Banks’ corps, under Gens. James Shields
and A. S. \Villiams. Williams’ command
was moving out of the valley and Shields’
troops were posted around Winchester
watching Jackson.
The game to be played was this: The
Shenandoah valley, a generally open coun-
try, threaded by the Shenandoah river and
extending from Staunton,~ an important
railroad junction, on the south, to the PO—
tomac on the north, and accessible every
few miles through passes from the country
east and west, offered admirable hiding
ground for a body of troops adapted to
rapid movements. The valley is broken by
several ranges of hills, on one of Which
stands \Vinchester, thirty miles up the val-
ley from the Potomac. Twenty miles fur-
ther up—i. e., south—near Strasburg, the
valley is cut across by a fork of the river
and Cedar creek, flowing in from the west,
and here successive ridges, steep in places,
form good battle grounds.
Again, thirty miles south, near New Mar-
ket, a pass is formed by two forks of the
river, bordered with mountains, the single
valley pike being along exposed plains be-
tween. Staunton, at the head of the val- ,_ _ .
i not how much bes1des, standing ready to
[pounce upon him there, was 10th to leave
ley, is well covered from attack from the
north by streams that wind around it on
: the north, east and west. Jackson’s place
of refuge would be Staunton, where re-en-
forcements from other armies could reach
him, and the railroads from the south could
bring up military supplies. From this
point he could play hide-and-seek in and
out and up and down the valley.
When Banks crossed the Potomac early
in March, 1862, to enter the valley the Con-
federates retired before him, I’Vinchester
was abandoned and to all appearance J ack-
son was concentrating his men at the up-
per end of the valley. Banks then sent
half his men, \Villiams’ division, across the
Blue Ridge to other scenes and ordered
Shields with the remaining division to
watch Jackson. It was now that the latter
formed his plan to
retake Winches-
ter. The depart-
ment assigned to
Jackson was the
.valley district. On
the morning of the
22d Jackson was
n e a. r Strasburg,

ment up the val- ‘ -.‘ _ . , .. .

which was led by Col. Kimball, was at the
first lodgment, Winchester. The cavalry
skirmishers of both sides were between.
About 4 o’clock that day “Stonewall’s”
cavalry, under Ashby, advanced on Win-
chester and opened with cannon.
Gen. Shields immediately moved out. of
his camps and drove Ashby away, but was
himself temporarily disabled in the en—
counter. The troops led by Shields formed
part of Col. Kimball’s brigade, and on re-
turning from the front the general ordered
Kimball to advance with all his force and
take command at the front. On this inci-
dent of the wounding of Shields depended
the fate of Jackson in his first independent
battle. During the night Shields sent word
to Kimball to move forward at daylight
and drive off or capture Ashby. The gen-
eral believed that the cavalry of the latter
was allrthe enemy on his front.
Kimball went forward promptly along
the valley pike leading south and met the
Confederates on the hills overlooking the
little village of Kernstown, three and a
half miles from Winchester, on the low-
lands of a little stream running at right
angles across the main valley. Kimball
planted a battery on one side of the pike
and disposed his brigade on the other side,
and drove the enemy before him into the
valley beyond the little stream. In this
stroke the Confederates lost the key posi-
tion, and Kimball secured it.
. Gen. Shields now sent word to his subor-
dinate to advance. Col. Kimball sent back
answer that he had a strong enemy to con-
tend with and needed re-enforcements.
Shields again ordered an advance, even in-
structing Kimball to send a body of men
with cannon to break through the enemy’s
jcenter, divide his column and capture it in
detail. Had Kimball obeyed he would
have fallen into the trap Jackson was pre-
paring for him. Kimball rightly believed
that his superior, lyinginhis bed five miles
distant, could not know what was taking
place on the battlefield, and decided to hold
‘his gnound. He now had his own brigade
and Col. J. C. Sullivan’s also. On learning
of Kimball’s decision Gen. Shields sent up
'his other brigade under‘Col.‘ E. B. Tyler,
‘ end left the affair wholly in the colonel’s
NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY MAY 14, 1590
hands. The man who was to be . pitted
against “Stonewall” in the first battle of
Winchester had not enjoyed the adv an-
tagcs of his opponent in military training.
Jackson was a West Point Officer who had
seen much service. Kimball had been a
volunteer captain in the Mexican war, and
as colonel in command of the Fourteenth
Indiana had made one campaign in 1861.
At midday Jackson had deployed his
whole force of infantry across the valley
south of Kernstown, with Ashby’s cavalry
for amovable column on his right flank.
Kimball had his own and Sullivan’s bri-
gade deployed along the enemy’s front,
with the vale of the creek and the hamlet
of Kernstown between.‘ The Confederates
Opened the battle by attempting to rout
Kimball by an assault on his left flank,
using the cavalry as flankers, and also to
make a show of strength. Kimball sent
out single regiments to meet the attack
and repulsed it. Then Jackson resorted to
tactics which elsewhere made him famous.
Leaving Ashby’s cavalry and a battery to
keep up a. display on the field where his
first attempt had been made, he moved all
his infantry and three batteries by a con-
cealed route far to the left, in order to seize
a height along the west side of the valley
on the right of Kimball and overlooking at
fair range the whole Union position. Mean-
while, Ashby made a feint on the left of
Kimball to cover Jackson’s flanking move-
ment. But Kimball believed in Jackson’s
presence on the field and had proper respect
for his abilities. In anticipation of some
such maneuver on the part of his opponent,
he sent word to Tyler, who was advancing
along the valley pike from Winchester, to
turn ed to the right and occupy the ground
that Jackson was aiming to seize. The Con-
federate artillery had already taken posi-
tions and was cannonading Kimball’s lines.
The field toward which Jackson’s three
Confederate brigades and Tyler’s Union
command were hastening from opposite
directions was to be the scene of “Stone-
wall’s” stunning defeat, and a veritable
stone wall was there to play its part as a
bulwark against the tides of battle.
The ground was a plateau, presenting on
its northern edge a line obliquing south-
east and northwest to Kimball’s position.
Along this line was a stone wall, with
broad, open fields south of it, where Jack-
son was advancing, and having on the
, north a strip of wood, obscuring the view
toward Winchester. \Vhen the Confeder-
ate line reached the stone wall and sent

THE TURNING POINT.
skirmishers into the woodrTyler’s skir-
mishers were advancing to seize the van~
tage ground. Jackson’s infantry and ar-
tillery combined now held off Tyler, and
his batteries were also playing havoc with
Kimball’s line the other side of the valley.
Kimball’s tactics were at this juncture
unique. He had fought three inferior ac-
tions in order to hold the ground he then
occupied, and, with Ashby, and he knew
it undefended. His force was divided into
' eight regiments, and one by one these regi-
ments were moved out by the right flank
to the front of the Confederatés to assist
Tyler in maintaining his ground in front
of the stone wall. The effect that this style
of fighting had on the southerners is told
in Jackson’s report. He says that the re-
pulsed Union regiments with which he
fought at the stone wall were replaced by
fresh ones drawn from a large reserve.
The Confederate Gen. Garnett, whose
brigade was in the center at the stone wall,
believed that he was largely outnumbered
because he-saw six different Union flags on
his front. He also saw Union cavalry mov-
ing around on his left flank, and this bug-
aboo was simply a few weak detachments
sent out by Kimball as fiankers. However,
Garnett abandoned the stone wall, and
every effort put forth by the Confederate
commander and his lieutenant to ward off
disaster was unavailing. The Confederate
troops on the left of Garnett, Fulkerson’s
brigade, were isolated by Garnett’s with-
: drawal from the line, and the relentless ac-
tivity of Kimball’s men allowed no respite
for the recovery of lost ground. The stone
wall became the prize of the Union men, as
did also two of Jackson’s cannon.
It was now nearing night, and Kimball’s
line was very much confused. On his new
front there was a wide stretch of open
ground, with a wood on the hither side
offering a good rallying point for Jackson.
But the pet of “kind Providence” had suf-
fered a complete rout; his troops retreated
. to their trains, and Ashby’s cavalry was
5 drawn upon to do picket duty along Kim—
ball’s front.
In his formal official report, intended for
eyes in Richmond, Jackson wrote that
though Winchester was not recovered, and
though the contested field remained in pos-
session of the enemy, “yet the most essen-
tial fruits of the battle are ours.”
This was penned several days after the
fact which he made do duty as “essential
fruits,” namely, the recall of Williams’
Union division to Banks’ army in the val-
ley as a result of the Confederate attack at
Kernstown. But on the day immediate-
ly following his overthrow by Kimball
“Stonewall” put upon record another phase
of his mental processes at that time. In a
dispatch to Gen. Johnston, dated March
24, he appealed for 5,000 more infantry, a
doubling up ,of his force, to aid him against
Kimball alone, should the latter advance.
He was himself at that moment retreating
south, and in the same dispatch to J ohn-
ston he cried pathetically to his chief, after
begging for the heavy re-enforcement to
he p him stand off Kimball, “I will try and
remain on this side Strasburg.”
Just how Jackson could make Kerns-
town count as an essential gain for his side
because it resulted in the return of a Union
division to re—enforce Banks in the valley,
when Jackson’s own column needed to be
doubled in order to withstand Kimball
alone _is one of the militar mysteries sur-
round1ng_ the fame of t is remarkable
southern idol. If numbers counted for any-
thlng, then the addition of Williams’ divis-
ion to Kimball’s would have necessitated
the doublin of Jackson’s force a seco (1
time, and t at would have meant the e-
pletion of the Confederate armies outside
of the valley. ,_
Another cause for congratulation as
Jackson reported was his belief that 'm—
ball’s losses at Kernstown exceeded his
own. In point of fact, Jackson’s loss was
the greater by over 20 per cent. Evidently
“Stonewall” met hlS eer when accident
threw him afoul of Col. ' ball in his first
Shenandoah campaigner L KILMEP

PREHISTORIG SHARKS.
MONSTER MAN EATING FISHES ONE
HUNDRED FEET LONG.
They Were Very Numerous at One Time
and Pretty Lively—Some Evidence That
Determines Today the Size of the Ex-
tinct Fish of the Past. '
If we may judge prehistoric man by his
modern representatives we may assume that
shark fishing was “carried on at a very early
day; so very early, in fact, that not the
slightest proof remains or even a. remnant of
the early lValton. In geological maps of
America, during what is known as the tdr-
tiary age, we find it occupying a much more
restricted area than at present. The south-
ern states were largely under water, and
Florida was but a shoal beneath the waves.
In the immediate vicinity of Charleston, S.
C., from the bottom of the river bed have
been taken the remains of some sharks so sug-
gestive of gigantic size that the modern man
eater is dwarfed in comparison. The remains
consist of teeth, huge deviated specimens, in
some instances almost as large as a woman’s
hand, many times larger than those found in
large sharks of today. The writer once had
the curiosity to arrange a number of these
teeth after the model of a modern shark, and
the result gave a fish large enough to swallow
a. horse entire; and as for length, 125 feet must
have been the dimensions of these monsters.
If a shark fourteen feet long is sufficient at
the present day to terrify any one, what must
have been the effect of the appearance of this
tertiary giant? Like the great whales, it re-
quired deep water to float it, and doubtless
was only attacked when by accident it be-
came stranded on the shoals.
How THEY WERE CAPTURED.
At such a time the fishermen may have put
off in their rude crafts and aided in its cap-
ture—perhaps fastening it with cables—in
driving logs of wood into its vulnerable parts.
To capture such monsters by any other means
must have been impossible. The largest boats
would hardly have withstood the struggles
that must have ensued after an attempt at
capture by spear or harpoon, assuming even
that such weapons were known. Once en-
trapped in shallow water we can imagine that
the sight must have been a striking one; the
enormous fish, far more active in this condi-
tion than a. whale, beating the water with
blows of its powerful tail, making frantic and
mighty rushes this way and that, snapping
the great cables like threads, capsizing the
rude boats and spreading terror and destruc»
tion everywhere.
A man to one of these mighty sharks would
be almost unnoticeable, and we can imagine
that such a huge creature must have been
upon a continual forage to appease its appe-
tite. A moderate sized whale would have
been legitimate prey, as our ordinary man
eaters of today have been known to swallow
nearly an entire horse. At this time many
strange creatures thronged the ocean, and
doubtless animal life was made much more
profuse than at present.
Any one who has seen a shark of large size
moving along beneath the surface can realize
the terror they produce in all observers.
A MODERN EXPERIENCE.
The writer once hooked a shark about four-
teen feet iu length. The brute was towing
the heavy boat at steamboat speed through
the water, my man crouching in the stern,
which was high in air, while I was engaged
at the bow, in keeping the line in the notch,
a. slip from which would have tipped us over.
We had rushed up the channel for about half
a mile at this pace, when I chanced to glance
overboard, and there, about ten feet from
the surface, were half a dozen man eaters of
the largest size swimming along, keeping up
with us, apparently determined to see what
became of their friend. The appearance Of
these huge fishes moving along so swiftly and
with such little exertion had an extremely
disagreeable impression upon me~one that I
never fully recovered from, as I have never
enjoyed sea bathing since, even in northern
waters. The attendant sharks I judged were
from ten to thirteen feet in length, and the
exact size of the monster that towed us we
never determined, as he finally escaped by
breaking the rope.
SIZE OF CAPTURED SHARKS.
.At South Carolina, at the junction of the
Ashley and Cooper rivers, thousands of these
teeths have been dredged in deepening the
river, not of one species alone, but of many,
showing that here must have been a common
feeding ground for schools of these giants,
that perhaps engaged in warfare among
themselves, and so formed this strange grave-
yard of teeth that thousands of years later
became through a rising of the coast dry land.
Of the man eaters of today the carcharodon
is the largest, a specimen having been cap-
tured in Australian waters thirty—six feet in
length; the jaw of this monster is now in the
British museum. The largest shark, how-
ever, is the phinoden, which has a wide geo-
graphical range and attains a length of from
fifty to seventy feet, approximating that of
the great whales; but this huge creature is
not a menace to the other dwellers of the sea,
having small, harmless teeth, and preying
upon small pelagic or floating animals. An-
other shark, called the “bone shark,” is oc—
casionally found Off our eastern coast, rang-
ing from twenty to fifty feet. A reliable
fisherman informed me that his father cap-
tured one off the southern coast of Massa-
chusetts which was longer than this. The
schooner was sixty tons burden, and when the
fish was brought alongside and lashed it was
longer than the vessel, or between sixty and
seventy feet. This shark is also a. defenseless
creature, relying upon small animals for food.

Courting in Africa.
Marrying among the Wa-Teita, as with
most African tribes, is simply a question of
purchasing the bride from her parents. The
price of one of those oleaginous and bead
bejeweled damsels (presumably beads and
all) is three to four cows.
The cow damsel, in accordance with an
ancient custom of the tribe, affecting to flee
from the consummation of her own happi-
ness, runs away and hides in the but of some
relative. Collecting his friends, and armed
with the search warrant of time honored cus-
tom, the groom then enters and searches
house after house where he fancies his bride
may be concealed.
At length the shrinking maiden is-discov-
cred amid much merriment, and is drawn tri-
umphantly from her hiding place. Four of
the groom’s assistants, seizing each an arm or
leg, then carry her ofl.’ to her new home.—

A DOUBLE" HOUSE.
One That Is Not Commonplace and Is
Cheap and Convenient.
“My husband says that he doesn’t like a
double house.”
“No, I don’t,” said he.
The young man had inherited some $8,000,
and was disposed to build a nice house: His
wife was a provident little body, who wished
to invest a. part of this sum so it would bring
in an income. He was too hopeful to have
much of this feeling during this early period
of their lives.

“The double house idea. is a good one,” said
their architect. “You can build a house which
will rent for $40 or 850 a month for one side
and have the other side in which to live. And
to one who does not have an abundant in-
come and large substantial resources to back
it the double house idea. is a very bright one.
VVe’ll make a double house that is uncommon.
We’ll make one that is entirely different from
any double house you ever saw.”
This was further talked about, and it was
decided that they would consider a double
house plan to be prepared to go on a fifty
foot lot which they had purchased. In the
course of time they went into the office to
look at the sketch.
The architect wanted to build this double
house. He knew it would make a good house
—one that would be comfortable and attrac-
tive and would prove a good investment.
When his clients came into the office he was
just a little anxious.
The illustrations in this column are repro-
ductions of his sketches. He showed them
the floor plans first.
Said he: The house is All feet wide on the
first floor. This gives a 3 foot passageway
on each side. Now we will look at the rooms
on the right. We have the entrance at the
front of the semi-octagonal shaped room. It
extends around and takes in asection of what
would otherwise be a part of the front sitting
room, and thus gives added width to this por-
tion of the hall or vestibule. Back of this is
the reception hall, with a window at the
right side which projects over the sidewalk

heads of those who pass under it. The wall
space in front separating the sitting room
and the reception room is filled with turned
spindle work in oak. The stairway is a com-
bination affair. we go up from the front
hall to a landing, pass through some portieres
to another landing, which is connected by a
stairway and two doors with the kitchen.
These two doors prevent the noise and odors
of the kitchen from reaching the front part
of the house.
There is a seat on the front landing which
projects into the hall. Under the part of the
main stairway which goes to the second floor
is provided the cellar stairway. The dining
room, as will be seen, is back of sitting room.
The kitchen connects with the dining room
through the china pantry by means of two
double swing doors—doors which swing both
ways and stand closed when released. This
china room is lighted by a small window and
has a cupboard with glass doors above and
paneled doors below. The kitchen is provided
with sinks, tables and drain boards conven-
ient to the china closet. In the pantry is a
place for an ice chest with a drain to the out-
side. There is a door over the chest so that
ice can be put in without passing through the
kitchen. The cellar is under half the house,
with furnace . room projecting under the sit-
ting room. In the cellar is a slop sink in
which wash water may be poured, a city wa-
ter connection and a laundry stove. The
cellar floor is cemented.
In the kitchen is hot and cold water at the
sink, and in the bathroom on the second floor
is water closet, washstand and tub. There
are two closets on the second floor in the
hall—one for brooms, etc., and the other for
bed linen and articles of this character.
