MMM .WHEN EOYG TOMT FORTH TO BATTLE THE CHARGE OF THE V-M I-CADETS ; it AT NEWMARKET PAU UNA S WINFIELD i iCoprmni, by Kldiwty Co. i N Mar, 1864. the Virginia Military Instltutee'at Lex ington, sent out trom her sheltering walls her whole student body to aid In op ; posing an Invading force overwhelming In numbers and Inured to war. And responding to the training and discipline of this school, in the capture of Von Klelser's battery at "New Market, Va., the corps of cadets enrolled them selves among the heroes of the world Capt Franklin E. Town, late cap tain of the signal corps. United States army, In his official capacity an eye witness of this incident, writing to an old cadet of the Virginia Military In stltute, says of It: "As a military spectacle It was most beautiful; as a deed of war It was most grand. I do not believe the his tory of war contains record of a deed more, chivalrous, more daring, or more honorable than the charge of those boys to a victory of which veterans might be proud." With the tide of battle beating al most up to their Institute doors, as with one heart this youthful corpe has long chafed at the restraint of , dally drill and dress parade and fruit- s less maneuver, and yearned for the crash and roar of genuine combat. Many with the consent of parents or guardians were resigning, others open 1 cuuneu uisuiinsai, aim suuia uu even stolen away In the night to take their places with the army. ; Among those who remained, the conviction 1 . - Jl I 1 A .. was strong that being, well disciplined and equipped, duty and patriotism alike required them to Join their com' rades in the field. . In March of '64, a mass meeting of the corps passed resolutions offering to the effect that they were rendering valuable assistance where they were, but If necessary he would call them into action. At the very beginning of the war, In 1861, the Institute had lent her magnificent corps of cadets to serve under Jackson as drill-masters to the raw and undisciplined volunteers gathered at Richmond. After three months of arduous labor this corps was . disbanded, and almost every member of It enlisted in the army. But the necessity becoming appar- ent of preparing efficient officers to take the place of those wounded , or lain in battle, by order of the gover nor of Virginia, the Institute was re opened in January, 1862; Hence none of the boy soldiers engaged at New Market had been In training for a pe riod much exceeding two years, while the - youthful members of the "rat" class bad donned the uniform only' few months before .the charge. ' True, from time to , time, select bodies drawn from their ranks had re sponded to calls for service, and had been given practical experience of inarch and bivouac In the. field. 8ome of them had had their baptism of tire at McDowell, following Stonewall Jackson to Franklin in pursuit, of the discomfited Generals Schenck ' and Mtlroy.x And just pne year before their testing the corps of cadets, eight companies, under their commandant, MaJ. Scott Shlpp, had been deputed as an escort to receive and bury with military honors the body of their hero. Dome on the shoulders of eight of their number,' Jackson was reverently laid In the class-room, where In times of peace he had honorably filled the chair of -'natural and experimental philosophy at the institute. His lips, though forever stilled, perhaps never spoke so eloquently. And mindful of the message, when the call came to so to the relief of the Shenandoah Valley,7 the scene of Jackson's most brilliant achievements, the lads were ready to aqult themselves like men. The summons was coincident with the starving policy determined upon by Grant in the spring of '64 as the quickest and most effective way of putting an end Jo the war. May the tenth being the anniversary of the death of Jackson, all academic duty was suspended at the Institute that the day might be fittingly ob served.

Some of the lads never resumed their tasks. For at midnight on the silence came the beating of drums, . It was the long roll. The cadets turned list lessly out of bed. Such calls had not been Infrequent, But as the companies were marched together on the college campus a curious excitement took possession of them. "Could it be a call to armsT" "Attention!" commanded the adju tant. He unfolded a paper and began to read by the light of a flickering lan tern, shaking visibly." Standing In abr solute silence in the military position of dress parade, when .. the truth dawned upon them as the orders were given the boys broke hi to wild cheers. Daylight found them, a band of two hundred and fifty lads, ranging from fourteen to nineteen years of age, four companies of Infantry and a section of artillery, led by Col. Scott Shlpp, him self a young man of twenty-four, marching gaily by the Staunton pike. Staunton received them with- open admiration as they filed through the streets in their trig gray uniforms, muskets shining, ready to report to Breckinridge and Join his command. Their, boyish appearance, so attractive to the girls who filled the various col leges and pathetic to the matrons of the town, excited the mirth of the vet erans. "The new Issue," they Jeered. "Go home to mamma." A band struck up "Rock-a-by-baby," and convulsed with laughter the men accompanied it, rocking their guns In their arms as if putting a baby to sleep. .The next time tbey greeted the "babies" it was with bared heads and shouts of ap plause. Passing on through Harrisonburg by the Valley pike, on the evening of the 14th they pitched camp within nine miles of New Market The march, seventy miles from Lexington, had progressed steadily through rain and mud. Warmth and food were grate ful. These supplied, wrapped in their blankets,. and unmindful of the angel that- follows in the wake of armies, sleep came unbidden to youthful eyes. The old town of New Market, made famous by the day's - valorous fray, straggles along the Valley pike la a narrow plain lying between Massanut ton Mountain and a bold range of foot hills. The crest of Shirley's Hill to the left of the pike, on which the cadets took position about one o'clock on Sunday, May IS, was perhaps halt a mile from the first line 'of the en emy. In the intervening space the hill descends to a transverse road, hedged on one side by a atake-and-rider fence. At that time a stone wall formed the other boundary and girdled the slope of a similar elevation beyond. On the broad plateau of this opposite height. in a little Lutheran churchyard among the monuments of the dead, the Fed erals had posted a battery in rear of their Infantry lines. . Aiming over the beads of their own troops, the battery opened Are as soon as the battalion in which the cadets were ranged came In sight - The Confederate troops, about three thousand strong, under the general command of Breckinridge, were dis posed south of the town. Two thou sand of these under' Gen.. Gabriel Wharton, an old V. M. I. cadet, were posted on the west side of the pike; Echol's , brigade, the cadets, and Col onel Edgar's battalion forming the second line. ' The Federal forces under Slgel were formed in two lines north of New Market, and spread like "grasshop pers for multitude" from Smiths Creek, a mile on the east, to the crest of the hill and Into the Woods on the west Between these opposing forces lay the town with a population sifted of its able-bodied males and composed mostly of women, children and old men. The remaining - thousand Confed erate troops, stationed on the pike and eastward, were made up ot the artillery, ten pieces with' the : two cadet guns commanded by Cadet Cap tain Minge, and. a small body of cav alry led by General Imboden.

It was a projectile, striking a stout men cruelly where a stout man would of life than his American neighbor. "Talk with almost any man for half an hour and you will find that his conversation, like , an old-fashioned song, has a regularly recurrent chorus. I soon discovered Mr. Clark's chorus. " 'Now, If only I had a little cash,' he rang, or, 'It I had a few dollars, I could do so and so.' "Why, he was as helplessly depend ent U" n moo? as any soft-handed BH'.n.-s.itUfrKS. i;e conquered himself poor aud fcc-U'i ' S because he Kicked dollars, whereas people are really poor It was not General Wharton's first Intention to use the cadets, as he be lieved he could dislodge the Federals with his own brigade. Concealed by some friendly cedars, he went down the hill afoot In order to get a better command of the situation.' Observing that the Federal batteries had full sweep of the face of the bill, be sent Instructions to the officers In charge ot the first line to advance double quick down the slope regardless of order, halting and reforming at the road In the ravine. This move was accomplished with such rapidity that the enemy failed to get their range and overshot, not a single man receiving a wound. The battery In the churchyard pour ing deadly fire must be silenced. Down came the corps with beautiful precision, moving with the light trip ping gait of the French infantry, a it on dress parade. ' "Double-quick!", shouted Colonel Shlpp,. perceiving their exposure to the enemy's guns; and they broke Into a long trot But In a moment there was a terrible crash. A shell had ex ploded In their very faces. Captain 1 Hill, tactical officer of Company C, and five of the lads went down. But as the order was given, "Close up. men," they ran together elbow to el bow and filled the gap. As they advanced, giving and re ceiving a withering fire, twice the Fed eral line retired. Captain Town, al ready quoted, says ot the battery now doing such deadly work: "Von Klelser's battery consisted of four brass Napoleon guns and two twelve-pounder howltsers. It was a good battery, and Its commander was very proud of it." ' Wharton's brigade secured two guns of this battery, and the remaining four galloped back to a sheltered position In Busbong's , farmyard, half a mile away. The cadets In the meantime had captured over one hundred pris oners, burly Hessians for the most part, speaking a Jargon of broken Eng lish, and much surprised, as they so aptly expressed It at the remarkable daring of the "leetle devils mlt der white vlag." ; The distance between the new and old positions of the Federal forces was not great but i the guns were dealing death. ."Advance!", came the order. Wet to the skin, their natty uniforms begrimed with clay, many of them robbed of their shoes by the same stiff clay, all exhausted, the boys re sponded with a cheer. They ran to the charge,' a i. Captain Town says of the battle at this point: ' . "As the' cadets advanced, our guns played with the utmost vigor upon their lines; , at first with shrapnel, then, as they came nearer, with canis ter, and, finally, with double loads ot canister. As the battalion continued to advance, our gunners loaded at the last without stopping to sponge, and 1' think it would have been Impossible to eject from the guns more missile than those boys faced' in their wild charge up that hill." Here at one discharge three ca dets, Cabell, Crockett and' Jones, were mowed down, terribly mangled by the canister. Here also fell Cadet Mc Dowell, ot North Carolina, sixteen) years old, small and slight and boy-, lsh, shot through the heart A little nearer to the enemy lay Atwell, a gaping wound In his leg. He died later In the agony of lockjaw. Here Jefferson 'received ' his fatal wound. - and brave Joseph Wheel feel the blow most It was a light and buoyant thing that floated away upon reckless currents as a seed of the milkweed. It was a thing of humor which leaped from under the grasping hand and fled away to dodge another pair of rescuers. ; It ran beneath the wheels of 'a street - car. It drove straight aa an arrow for the bowed head of a teamster and then, upon a new tangent went up and up over the cornice of a building, flicked the edge of an electric sign, circled about upon the uncertain tides that poured back and helpless only when they lack courage and faith." , A 8tlll Many Bicycles Made. "Inasmuch as we are continually hearing that the bicycle has practi cally disappeared from New York." said a man In the bicycle business, "it ought to be Interesting to know that one tire concern has a schedule for making In 1913 three-fourths mil lion bicycle tires. That's enough. fo 375,000 machines. - And there are many others In the field, too. They wright Stanard west down a little farther on. Men were falling right and left, and Colonel Shlpp was wounded. The veterans seemed to waver slightly. - There was a moment of hesitancy, of irresolution. Some one cried, "Lie down!" All obeyed, firing from the knee, all ex cept Evans, the daring ensign, who still stood erect, a target six-foot-two, waving the colors. Capt Frank Pres ton, assistant professor, commanding Company B, had lost an arm at Win chester. He laughed as he lay down on bis remaining one, saying he would at least save that The corps was suffering heavily. "Fall back and rally on Edgar's bat talion!" some one ordered. But Cadet Plzzlnl, first sergeant of Company B, the fire of Corsica In bis veins, raised his rifle and shouted he would shoot the first man who ran. Cadet Captain Colonna, Company D, rallied his men with words of encouragement. The decisive moment had come. It was either a final charge or fall back; capture of the battery with victory, or defeat At this Juncture Henry A. Wise, Jr., commanding Company A, sprang to his feet and gave the order to rise and charge. Moving In ' ad vance of the corps at double time, he led them toward the guns. The bat tery unlimbered for a last volley. On through fire and smoke and groans of the dying, through clay made redder with blood, they pressed up to the foe. The artillery teams were surrounded and disabled. The gunners dropped their sponges and ran for their lives. The cadets leaped upon the battery, and It was theirs. Evans now proudly flung out the flag, the corps flag ot white and gold, bearing a picture of Washing ton, which had so greatly excited the curiosity of the enemy throughout the battle. While valiant deeds were done that day on other parts of the field, the Sixty-second Virginia claiming to have made possible the victory, the cadets had truly turned the tide at a critical moment The rest of the battle was a mere rout, the Federals hurrying down the pike, hotly pursued by Confederate Infantry and cavalry. ? ' The engagement closed at 6:30 p. m. the enemy having fled across the north fork of the Shenandoah river. burning the bridge behind them. ' The Federal loss was from eight hundred to fifteen hundred; the Con federate about four hundred killed and wounded, more than half of this' hav ing fallen on the cadets and the Sixty second, the cadet loss being eight killed and forty-eight wounded, out of two hundred and fifty engaged. The 16th and 17th were spent In burying the dead and caring for the wounded on both sides. On the 19th began the return to Staunton, whence the cadets were ordered to report at Camp Lee, Richmond. The march was triumphal procession, and at Rich mond an ovation awaited the battalion. Drawn up In the capftol square, they received a vote of thanks from the Confederate congress, then in session, and were presented with a state flag by the governor of Virginia. ? Incidents In connection with the bat tle, always more Interesting than the details of combat, were not wanting. When Cadet Jefferson fell; two of his comrades hastened to his aid. Indif ferent to his own sufferings, he waved them aside. Pointing to the front, he said: ...-'". 'That is the place for you!

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN Advice by an Expert on Agricultural Matters Window Boxes and Hang ing Baskets Eradicating Weeds . Beautifying the Yard. By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE A comparatively small number of the people In our large cities have the ground available for a vegetable garden. A much larger number have some little plot that will raise flow ers, but the flat dweller has nothing ot the kind. This does not Indicate that fiat dwellers may not have flowers in summer, however, as they can always have Jthem In window boxes and fre quently In porch boxes and banging baskets. Flowers of many kinds and hues will grow to fullest perfection In boxes of various kinds and .all they need Is. sunshine and a little careful attention. They constitute the chief Joy of the summer season and no one should . be without them trom May until frost time. Almost any sort of a box will do so long as It is deep enough for the roots to grow In, and strong enough to hold the earth. An excelelnt win dow box can be made of three-quar ter-Inch lumber, one foot deep and one foot wide, the length being regu later, of course, to the size of the opening In which the box Is to fit. The width of the window or porch box Is Immaterial, but the depth should not be less than, ten to twelve Inches, Bore a few three-quarter-Inch holes in the bottom to allow for drainage and fasten the box firmly in place, as it will weigh a great deal after being filled. Fill It with rich greenhouse or gar den earth, having mixed In a quantity of well-rotted manure. Some fine wood ashes will assist the blossoms wonderfully, but - coal ashes are detriment Have the earth fine and mellow and plant the flowers as soon after filling the box as possible. The quickest and most satisfactory way to stock these boxes Is to buy potted plants from the florist and transplant them. They are moro sturdy than plants grown from seed In the boxes and they bloom much earlier. ' The cost is prohibitive In many cases,, however, and almost any annual flowers will grow from seed In such boxes. Where the amount ot sunshine Is limited It Is almost neces sary to put In plants instead of weeds. Geraniums are probably the most satisfactory flowering plants for the formal window . box, and they are very widely used. Foliage plants are excellent and withstand the hot after noon sun better than flowering plants. Ferns do well in shaded locations. Small plants of English Ivy, Wan dering Jew and many of the smaller vines are useful for draping effects and we have seen some of the larger growing anunal vines, such as Wild Cucumber, Scarlet Runner Beans and Morning Glory, used In window boxes with excellent results, the long, grace ful vines, either climbing in the usual way or trailing down over the side of the box. Hanging baskets, either fern balls, moss baskets, or boxes, can be hung In any sheltered location, and they are very satisfactory. We recommend the use of self-watering hanging bas kets, as the ordinary hanging device la inconvenient to handle and it must be watered constantly. Remember that success with boxes demands lots of water every day, three times as much as you would give the same plants in a bed. - Weeds. Weeds have been aptly defined as plants out of their proper place. Thus, Kentucky blue grass is a treasure in the lawn and a weed In the adjacent corn field. We are all more or less familiar with what we generally call weeds dandelion, pusley, quack grass, thistles, burdock, pigweed, mullein, milkweed, and many others, because these plants are always out of place, as far as the ordinary back yard farm er is concerned. They are easily controlled in the flower beds, because these beds are usually small In size, the soli Is loose and the weeds pull out easily, and If you wait Jong enough your wife will probably get disgusted and pull them herself. In the vegetable garden, it Is an en tirely different proposition, however, Here the weeds start about two laps ahead of the earliest vegetables, hav ing planted themselves the year be fore in preparation for a flying start The soli is firm and they anchor themselves tor the season in a very determined manner. . If we assail them early, before they are anchored, we can win out but they never give up the battle and success is the result of constant labor. It's really remarkable, too, how a man grows weaker as the gardening season progresses.;:. The sun gets hotter, the hoe duller, the weeds more defiant, the soil hard er, the mosquitoes 1 start business earlier and stay later, and it is only the thought of previous labor Invested that saves most gardens about the Fourth of July. Under such discouraging conditions It behooves us to study the habits of our garden weeds and attack them in the most effective manner. After plowing and pulverizing the ground, plant the early crops and let the weeds gat a good start on the rest of the patch. Cut every one off below the ground with a sharp hoe. Just be fore planting later crops. As soon as they start again cut they , off again. Those that grow from perennial root stock, like the dandelion, should be pulled up. i When the vegetables come up, keep the earth between the rows hoed at all times, going over the garden after each rain to break up the . earth's crust and hold the moisture In the ground. Never let the weeds get the start on you and it will not take half as much work to handle your garden this year. i Why ahould we keep the weeds out of the garden? Principally 1ecaus they steal water from the vegetables, and water Is ' the very life blood of plants. Secondly, the weeds are all very hearty feeders and every one In your garden Is using up a considerable proportion of the available plant food, Remember that hoeing Is good for both the garden and you, the more hoeing the better, and a wheel hoe or hand cultivator Is about the best tool that ever was made, especially in July. i Essentials of Beautiful Yard. Every home should be surrounded by a beautiful and artlstlo yard. Al most all of us appreciate this fact and it will not bear argument but there Is considerable 'divergence of opinion as to what can, be done to make the yard beautiful. In order to assist our readers to se cure the most gratifying results possi ble, we will try to outline the essen tial features to be borne In mind when planning landscape gardening . at borne. The one most important feature in planting operations Is harmony. This is the keynote of all beautiful scenes. It does not 'mean that we may not employ contrasting colors and forms, but that these features give a pleas ing general effect If your house Is of any particular architectural style, let the shape of your walks, roadway, flower beds, shrubs and trees be of such a charac ter as to carry out the lines and spirit of the house as far as possible. The formal house should be surrounded by natural things of geometrical patterns square corners, formal shaped1 shrubs, straight walks, etc., tather than the graceful forms. The bunga low and the less Imposing and rigid type of building must be treated In a decidedly different manner, as itr lines are more on the graceful and beautiful order, and the lines of the surrounding grounds should carry out the same idea. Curved lines, even of a rather indefinite character, may be used to advantage. Flowing shapes In the trees and shrubs, profuse vines, beds and banks of wild flowers and related subjects should be adhered to largely. , , Do not attempt to mix these two distinct styles of landscape art Noth ing can be more unattractive than a formal square house set In a woodland, unless It be a graceful, unpretentious country home in the midst ot an Ital ian garden. The bouse, while it is not really a part ot the yard, is still the most im portant feature of the whole scene, from the standpoint ot the person on the outside. This is why we place such special emphasis on the appear ance and style of the building. We take for granted that the Impor tance of the lawn is thoroughly under stood. The arrangement of the build ings, walks, roads, and plantings will determine its shape and extent but it Is highly essential that the ground be covered by a smooth, velvety turf, where not otherwise taken up for some specific purpose. City front yards are usually so small that all we can hope to do with them is to keep them covered with a good lawn. Suburban front yards are much more ample and are covered by the general principles set down tor city back yards. Tha first care is to loin the house to to the ground In a natural and artistic manner. The color of the house has a good deal to do with this, and the rest can be accomplished by a Judicious use of flower beds, vines or shrubs near the house. In planting for the small yard, do f not put beds or shrubs In the middle of any stretch of lawn. Keep them either along the walk and roadway, or around the outer edges of the lot By using taller and more distinctly color ed and formal plants close to the house and smaller and less prominent vari eties farther away we can secure an appearance of distance in the view from the house, and this Is a very im portant feature in the effect of any landscape picture. For the small city back yard the house must be ignored to a consider able extent and the planting is largely a question ot the gardener's Individual taste. : Much more effective results will be secured even on the smallest lot. If the few simple rules here given are carefully borne In mind. Capital of Australian Commonwealth. Territory In the Yass-Canberra dis trict in New 8outh Wales, has been acquired by the commonwealth of Aus tralia as the site of the capital oi tne commonwealth. The territory Is ap proximately 900 square miles in ex tent, and about twelve miles have been set aside for the purposes of the city. It is proposed to set aside an other 100,000 acres for parks, roads, military college, and other publio pur poses outside the city. Canberra is 204 miles from Sydney, 429 from Mel bourne, 912 from Adelaide and 929 from Brisbane. It is 123 miles trom the sea at Jervls bay, with which one day it will be connected by railway. Architects the world over were invited to submit competitive plans for the new capital, but British architects de clined to enter the competition, and the plans of a Chicago architect were accepted. The name of the new capi tal city It is said will be announced on March 12, when the governor gen eral makes his formal proclamation of the foundation ot the new capital. ' Linseed Meal. Coarsely ground linseed ' meal ot good quality has a feeding value slight ly superior to old-process cottonseed meal, and either ot these feeds Is bet ter for supplementing corn for fatten ing cattle than wheat bran at current market values.
