One of the steamboats that we used crossing the Ohio River was owned by the United States gov ernment, the other one was pri vate Dronertv. The one belonc ing to the IT. g wfts burned when we were done using it; the other one was not injured. By this time our stock of home made "hard tack" was about ex- naustea out we found plenty o bread at the bakeries and res Daurants and replenished our stock. The citizens of Corodon did not take kindly to us but showed fight, so while we were getting something to eat they were forming a line of battle on the hill beyond the town across the road we were to travel, but it only took about one volley to silence them as well as I remera ber, None of us were hurt, but a few of the citizens soldiers were wounded, possibly one or two killed, before they decided to let us pass quietly on. We had 0 have fresh horses, and for this purpose a few picked men were detailed who when we halted brought horses to the officers. who gave them to the Men who needed them worst. On the next morning after we left Corodon my horse was given ootand they gave me a large, well-built iron gray mare which I rode till the surrender. The next town of any impor. tance that we came tc was Sa lem, Indiana, but we were not molested and only halted long enough to set something to eat Gens. Hobson and Shucklefords' U. S. cavalry were pursuing all the while with a superior force, but we had the advantage of fresh horses and kept well but of their way. There were bo tele phones those days, and when necessary tne telegraph wires were cut Gen. Morgan' also kept a battery and an expert tele grapher with him and would at tach bis battery to the wires cut and wire ahead that Morgan was coming and then take another road where they were not expect- ing him. This was one reason why they could not head him off but had tD follow after him. Sopn after we left Salem. Ind. we struck the Miami Valley in Ohio and followed that down to Cincinnatti. Ail along down the Miami River Valley, the town were very thick. We were barely out of sight of one when we would come to auotber one, but the people just stared at us and did not molest us. We did not mo lest property except such as was necessary, but we had to have fresh horses to ride and some thing to eat and feed on. I sa w one dwelling bouse burning I think it was in Indiana not far from Corodon. It was twenty steps or more from the road and was in full blaze when pausing it. I learned the reason for firing was that there some persons con cealed in it who persisted in 8hoo"tiiTg'at the soldiers 'while passing. We arrived in sight of Cincinnatti about twilight and proceeded not to attack it, but made a. feint on it by building fires at different places in sight of town. There were some sol diers stationed in the city and we could hear them beat the "long roll" in anticipation of an attack buta&soou as it was dark we recruited our fires and then star ted on a double quick march up the river, and next morning ac cording to our adjutantgenerals report we were sevenfy five miles from Cincinatti and still going. I do not know whether he riat correct or not about the distance but I do kuow that we rode all night and till some tima next njorning just as fast as our hor ses could! carry us, The problem at this time was to elude and out run out pursuer and get back to the Confederate lines, and the difficulty was getting across the Ohio River, and the route select ed to best accomplish this task was to keep up the river till we were opposite West ' Virginia, then cross the river and up the Kanawa Valley to the Conieder ate lines, hut it seems that the fates were all J against General Morgan at this time. The Ohio rivervat iuffingtbn Island, the place 'where we 'bttempted to cross, usually in - summer time is fordable. but at; this narrfnu- iar time, there hld been heavy rains, aid tne river was bank full, and if crossed at all with our forces we bad to cross in boats. If the river could have been forded we could easily have gotten away, or if General Lee had not been driven back from GHtsburgwe could have made a: function with Stuart's cavalry in Pa, but the, forward drive made by the Confederate forces failed in every particular and Iejt Gen. Morgan with a force of about 2,500 men far out in the enemies' country, without sup- poctand pureued by about 80.- 000 men. which included all the militia of three states, beside the regular soldiers who had been c-n our track all the way. On the evening of the 18th' of July we took up camp for th night and slept all night, the first night's sleep we had hao since the first of the month. Foi two days previous to this time the country through which we traveled was hilly and bush whackers annoyed us considers bly, though-they did very little damage, but on this particular night we were not molested and had a good rest The men did not know that night why we should halt so long, but learned next morning that the delay was in procuring boats to cross the river; but two "flat boats" were finally cepturedandon the morn- iog of the 19th the men were be ing crossed over as rapidly as possible, we were in a large bottom near the river when we spied blue coats on the hill in the road over which we had iust traveled. The men were imme diately formed in line of battle in a large corn field and were await, iug their approach when a gun boat from the river opened fl'e on us, supported by a force of in fintry marching across the field toward us; then the command was given: "forward up the river double quick!" (to be continued.) Tbi Kiisifs future. They are handling report? about the Kaiser as if he nerr yet a man of power and anthoi. ity. It does not matter that he has dismissed his "suite'' of at tendants, or that he is awaiting the arrival of his wife before for mulating his plane, much ,1ppf oes it matter, as chat has it, tie is considering whether he will resume hit throne. He has no throne to resume, nor will heever again have one. The e little matters concerning the Kaiser's proposed movements are at best but idle gossip intended to tem porarily amuse the people, but as a matter of fact they have no actual meaning. It is not for the kaiser to plan. He mav pro pose, but the Allies will dispose. lis future has passed from his own hands. The oebple will know what that future is when it is pronounced. by the Govern ments that have brought him under subject ion .Charlotte Ob server. . , Bn Cspittfsl Sei.

Charlotte Observer. Best Effort in Everything. How then shall the Nation de cide who has proven his value? The answer is this: There is nothing any man can do more than bis best. From President Wilson to the business manager of a small factory and to the man who drives the riv ets, there ismoreequality among all who do their bent. The facto ry manager who' completely sac riflces bis personal interests for production, the man who drives the greatest number of rivets that he possibly can in a day they have done their all, they have both done everything. That is complete,' absolute, unqualifi ed patriotism. Ex. A BILL10US ATTACK. When you have a bilious at tack your liver fails to perform its functions.

An American Red Cross worker wfca was amoof tboat volunteering to help In the hospitals- and at the station where the hospital trains arrlred. otw heard some of the wounded talking about the American Red Cross. "Gee! We'd a starved if, It hadn't been for the Bed Cross 1" said one dot. and then, laughing at his own exagger ation, be went on to explain the cir cumstances under whidi (he Red Cross representative with his division had done some timely service. The Ger mans, of course, were to blame, for they retreated so rapidly that it was practically impossible for the supplies to keep up with the pursuing Ameri cans. , "We cleaned up seven kilometers In less than two hours." another reclininc Ugure explained, "and they were still going wnen x was Knocked out. For threa dsvs I had had nothlB ta Mt but bard tack, and for some days be fore the food had been monotonous to put It mildly.
