It is wh9d g, sed; to ghi fire waa lamt Northern men 'call a ' "hog's back. and? from Rossville tQ the tunnel there are not over three places where this ridge widens out sufficiently to permit a single rregimenf toyform in line of battled. The Chattanooga Mde has s well and fool hills before reach ing the real base, and the far side pf the mountain . sweeps sharply down into a plain stretching away as fares theyeye anr see.ylnsteai of being levels, the creet is ' full of dips and ravines, and had Grant brought -a thousand ' pieces of artillery to bear on Bragg for a week it is dpubtfnl if he wonld have killed fifty men. ' ': IN FLANK. .... . .... . ... - Had Grant known the exact lay of the ground he would not have ordered a direct aeBanlt. Instead of sending Hooker- p the JRossville road to be played witbby Bragg's cavalry, he would have sent two full corps. At the-blackwttUhshopinhe fork-of the road every' field ypiece coald have easily been hauled to the crest of the mountain.' Then a good -farmer's road" would have taken, the Federals square -down on Bragg's flank and rear, reversing all his works, and he most have been pushed off at Tunnel 'Hill. ' The blacksmith shop is the strategic point of the situation. A road runs along ei-.her side of the mouutain ' and another on the crest. Half a mile beyond the shop another road branches off and strikes the .mountain near its center, where it meets three other highways. One night's march by the Federals would have surrounded Bragg's position on three - sides.' Bragg took no precau tion agairst such a surprise except to throw out his ' cavalry on his left flank, and for his negligence he has been severely criticised. So, too, it was not the wisest policy to throw Sherman's troops against Tunnel HilL That is the strongest position on the ridge. An assanlt on the center of the line would have met with fewer natural ..obstructions, and Bragg's - line once broken there the hill must have stood or fallen by itself with the Federals' fighting on even terms. Sherman's attack. Just what Sherman tried to do at one end of tho ridge and failed, could have easily been accomplished at the other. Splitting his command into three bodies, the center took the crest of the ridge and the flanks ad vanced on either base, the ridge dividing them- Moving as they had to move, over such rough ground, there could be no concert of action. Where center or flanks struck the enemy there they fought and advanced or fought and were pushed back. Bragg could reinforce from his center over an almost level highway, and Sherman finally saw that he was fighting the whole Confederate army. STRIKING THE LINE. Corse had advanced less than a quarter of a mile before he found his path blocked by Hardee. Here is a line of rocks to show where a breast work ran, and here thiee or four pieces of artillery were protected by light earthworks. Corse gathered up his brigade and fl ung them at Har dee, but they could not reach the breastworks. The men behind it had a' dead rest for their muskets, and they fired cooly and with great execu tion. Corse fell back, fighting gal lantly, and when he halted he was not yet out of pistol g&Qt.' His men took cover behiud trees' and rocks.' and in tree-hollows, and for half an hour the I crash of musketry was steadv and terrific. ; A soldier -. in Cleburne's division who was behind a large rock was wounded in the right jaw. His place was taken by another, who Was killed by a ball strkinghim above the ear. A corporal drew the body back and took I the ; position, but be fore he bad discharged his gun his right eye was destroyed, A fourth man"as wounded behind the rock, and it was then discovered that the Federal bullets, striking a large rock to the right and ahead, had glanced at an angle and found their victims. On that rock, which perhaps weighs two tons, I counted the "spots" left by 292 bullets. . . ' A CONFEDERATE CHARGE. After three-quarters of an hour of sharp firing the hot-headed Cleburne could stand it no longer, and gather ing np bis -division he. swept across tne open space, leading in person. The Federal line bent back under the rush, but when they straightened Cleburne was swept back to his works with rush, leaving 300 dead men on the ground behind him :C m A COOL CONFEDERATE , v After the Federal lines had fallen batik, And during a temporary lull in the firing, a Confederate named Wil--' Ham Grady, belonging to Cleburne's command and dying- in Knoxville several . years after,. the war, leaped pver tne Breastworks , aud advahtsed upon the federals at a walk. lookiner to the right and left as he walked.

Bragg knew ' that Hooker was 'oil' "his left flank,, fighting his cavalry,, apd he knew that he had Sheinaii Kalted. Up to about 3 o'clock., he felt Becure. Hehadnot lost a fot oBgroand any--whe're oU'his main line: f Jf'was then he offered 'reinforcements to Hardee to push Sherman, and it-was" then he said5 to thoser around him . '.'The Yankees don't 'figh t a ny bet ter'undir Grant "than they did under Rosecrans. But he hadn't heard from Grant yet. Grant's plan of battle was that Sherman should push so heavily on Bragg' right and Hooker so heavily ou his left l hat he would: weaken hi center to support his flanks. Hooker had made no great headway, and Sherman had been checked,. yet Bragg, had sent troops from . his cen ter' to both wings. The courier of fering Hardee reinforcements had not been gone five minutes when Brgg saw something to surprise him. The four divisions under Thomas moved out on the plain in grand array, every man stripped down to musket and cartridge-box. Brigade after brigade swung out with steady tramp until tho alignment was complete. Every Federal faced Bragg s center, and Bragg knew that a grand assault was impending. He was writing dis patches tp "hurry, up reinforcements from right and left, when a Federal cannon on Orchard Knob boomed out: "One two three--four five six ! Like a huge machine set in motion by that signal the four divisions moved at one. They had more than a mile to go across a level plain before reaching the ba6e of the ridge, and before they had advanced twenty rods every piece of artillery in Bragg's center was playing upon the moving columns. Shot and shell hissed and screamed and tore around the marching columns ; but not a line was broken, Bragg had relied upon his -guns sweeping the plain. The Federals did not lose fifty men out of I the tour divisions in the entire ad- i vance. It was only when thev came within range of the Confederate mus ketry that death began its harvest. THE RUSH AT THE RIDGE. A double line of skirmishers was thrown out in front of the Federal j advance, and a double line of skir-! mishers was thrown out in front of! the Confederate line at the base of; the ridge. Headly, C'st and others j speak of the strong works at the foot i oi tne riage. tiere and there was a breastwork of stones and logs, such as the infantry oould throw up in an . -W-T- -m . hour. Up to half-past 2 o'clock, or an Iionr previous to the Federal ad vance, there were not'three regiments of Cofederates at the base along Bragg 8 center. He had calculated that all tne fighting would be ot his wings. Nothing has been" disturbed there in these long years. 'One finds here and there a slight cover Jor half a regiment, a jew holes wnich might have been; rifle-pitt, but ' no such works as the enthusiastic ; historian erects on paper. .This does -net, how ever, dim the glory' of the advance. Never before nor1 after did war see the spectacle of fotir grand divisions of blue sweeping over au open plain under fire with such a Confederate officers who looked down upon it say that it was a sight' hever to be forgotten. As if realizing that the sooner they reached the base the sooner they.' would be covered from the artillery fire, tlie Btp grew faste and faster, and just as the lines beean to feel the musketry fire they broke into a double-quick and dashed for ward, cheering until Sherman's men heard them above the roar of battle In that rush the Federal skirmish line was overtaken and-borne, along, and the Confederate skirmish line was actually run over and swallowed up Deiore it couia iau Daca. AN, AEHT LET That advance of Thomas will ever stand as one of the most singular moves of the war. It was not hoped to carry anything more than the base line at that time. Indeed, the orders were-.to halt , there. The "dash was made so quickly that but few of the Confederates escaped to the crest. ' In scores oi cases ederal soldiers sprang alter them up-the mountain side, grabbed them by the feet or' legs, and captor and captured came rolling- down together. But the Confederate troops on the crest had a plunging musketry-fare on the bluecoais, od they: made it so. hot that the.

The swiftly succeeding disasters unnervedBragg. .He wrote two or three-orders and tore them up, gave two or three verbal orders and countermanded them, and at length mounted his horse, dashed. up and down the center, and disappeared not ten minutes before the Federa's had possession of his headquarters. .FIGHTING TO THE LAST. But the flight of Bragg did not produce a panic. Confederate soldiers never' fought more gallantly than right there. They knew that to lose the. center position was to lose the fight, and they meant to hold it. Missionary Ridge is thickly covered with -stones and boulders. Whole companies of the Confederates dropped their maskets and had to re sort to t lie rocks as weapons. Great rocks weighing a ton were sent rolling down the steep side, crashing hrough the bushes and sweeping-through the Federal advance, and at some points the shower f stones was so terrific that all further advance was checked. Men who dared brave hell and can ister and bullet sought cover to es cape the stones and rocks. There was mi panic no giving bi.ck, but it would have taken thrice their number to have checked the tide of blue roll ing up tli6 mountain. Foot by foot it advanced, and when the last rush came the blue lines went through the gray in lanes.' Batteries were flinked, leaving them standing be tween Federal lines. Whole regi ments having a front towards the plain suddenly discovered Federals in their rear. For a quarter of an hour it was a tight by a mob. Guns were taken and retaken crowds swayed back aud forth, and even when encircled the Confederates fought on. It was. only, when the greater portion of the. center had been killed, wounded or made prison er that the fighting-ceased. IX FRONT OF SHERMAN. Whatever Hood urged against j Hardee in later years, his fighting that day saved the army, just as Thomas' fighting at Chickamauga saved the Federals. When the center was at tacked he reinforced it with a divis ion without orders, and he kept up the fight until he could draw off under cover of the darkness SUMMING UP. Bragg was not the general to fight a winning battle. He lacked just what Hooker, Pope and Bums.de lacked. His victory at Chickamau ga was not due to his generalship, but rv.bre to Rosecrans' mUtake. He lost more at Missionary Ride than he gained at Chickamauga, and his defeat prepared the grouhd work for Sherman's memorable march into the Confederacy. The Fedeial loss, iu killed and wounded was nearly six thousand that of. the Confederates about the same. TlveuFederala captured forty -three pieces of "artillery, 6,000 stand of the best small arms, and 5,500 prisoners, and Bragg's army was left in a thoroughly demoralized condi lion.' y . . Gen. Cist asserts in his Scribner volume that Sherman was to do all the fighting and have all the glory. He did not design a direct assault, but calculated on flanking Bragg's left, lie got hold of the wrong end of the ridge. Hardee held him two days, and could have held him a month. . Had he tried the Rossville road he would not have been ah hour &eadyjte3reaching.tbe' crest. -The assault by L nomas was to relieve isherman, but it the soldiers had not broken loose apd taken the .fight into their own hands whole regiments moving un der protests from the officers', who can say that the Victory would ha ve rested withlhe. Federals? The battle of Missionary Ridge had a strong; influence on the- military world.; Under jtbe old school of mili tary teaching that ridge was imyreg nable. No general had any business to' attack steep-sided mountain crowned with artillery and lined with infantry. . Under the new sohool of fighting it was carried in an hour. It was then discovered that such po sitions should be held from the base, as Lee held Marye's Hill as Mead held Cemetery Ridge as Polk held Kenesaw Mountain. Twenty pieces of artillery and 10,000 infantry in trenched at the base of Br. gg's center would have held Thomas' whole army on the plain and repelled every assault on . the front, and they would at the same time have been under the full play of every piece of artillery on the crest. But peace is there to-day, will be for. evermore. The vinss are coyer- Ing the earth-works the leaves have .filled up the rifle-pits the waf scar red trees have put forth new branch es to shelter the laborer who leaves his cornfield and his vineyard to rest from the noon-day sun. Peace regins on the great mountain with - only the soft notes of the., wild-bird to- break the silenee peace hovers over? ; the valley and smiles upon a. .thousand fields which will tremble no more, un der war's bloody footsteps. M. Quad. Amusement From the LHctiou- ary. The every-day language of prosaic persons is rich in lost or hidden mean ings, that are beautifully, figurative. The full meaning of a derived word is often far more significant than its ordinary use suggests. To one'' who cares for the quaint, no pnzzle solving will afford so much pleasure as a little "digging at the roots of words." For example, take these sentences from a late number of the Compan- TOrt.-ifie-Jace-L& beautiful girl in the choir attracted his attenfforrratlrcr than ' the minister's sermon. He sought an introduction,- found her of noble character though in humble condition." "Face," from the Latin facere, to make; "beautiful," full cf beauty; attract," trahere and ad, to draw to; "attention," tentere, to stretch, which gives us a figure, elasticity of mind. "Minister," minus, less and by it we may read. "Whosoever will' "be great among you let him be your minister." "Sermon,' " ierere, to join, a disjointed discourse cannot properly be called a sermon. 'HAtht er," fron Anglo-Saxon radftor.compar ative of radhe, quick, hasty: "south," Anglo-Saxou seean, to conteud, to strive. "Introduction," inter, between, and dticere, to lead. 'Noble," nowere, to know, and curiously enough, no torious is from the same word "Character," Greek eharassein, to make sharp, to engrave. "Humble," Latin humilis, on the ground. "Condition," condere. to put together. If one will try to fill a single page with wolds whose meaning, as stamped upon them by their deriva tion, express just what he intends to st.y and nothing more, he will realize the fact that English is a derived lan guage. 8. L. B. Table-Manners. Nothing reflects more upon home training than bad manners at table. Restlessness, shown by fidgeting in your seat, moving the feet unneces sai ily, playing with the table utensils; or crumbling the bread, is very annoy ing to those who have heen-Jjained correctly in youth. To open the mouth while chewing the food, instead of keeping tho lips closed; to talk when the mouth is full; to suck up soup from the spoon; to put a knife in the mouth; to rend the head low down over the plate; eat ing rapidly, or to make any noise iu eating, are breaches of good manners. Chew the food well, but quietly, and eat slowly. Never use a spoon for anything but liquids, ice cream, cheese, fish (when silver fish knives are not ued). Everything that without a knife, or a be eaten with a fortf; bread, rissoles, pies, ilways broken, when can be eaten spoon, should such as sweet Bread is buttt red, etc. not not bitteu nor cut with a knife. Stay Ou. A toper's love for his beer is char acteristically set forth in the following: 'Want any cloves?' asked a peddler of a 8alooir-keeper one day last week 'Vat I vant urn?' asked the proprie tor. 'To take away the smell of beer from the breath,' said the .peddler. 'Take away dot smell of beet!' ex claimed the-man behind the counter. 'You got somedings vat 'makes der smell stay on, and 1 buys him.' The Lawyers Fee. There in a gnd story which illus trates the advantage of being skilled in reading faces. An Englishmau who could speak no language but his own, boasted that he had travelled through Euroe without a courier, and had not been cheated one farth ing. He w;i good physiognomist, and filled hi jocket with the small coins of the country in which he was travelling. Whenever called 'to make a payment to a man, he would begin by slowly dropping into ths looking him keenly iu the face. ..Tlun moment he saw by a gleam of the eye, or twitching of the month that he Imd dropped tho amount of the bill, he stopped. A cotton speculator who once paid a lee several times greater man nis lawyer expected, was not so shrewd a man. Soon after tho fall of Ticks burg, he became involved with , the authorities, who charged him with fraud. Hia cotton, which was worth a large sum of money, being seized, he sought the aid of Mr. Geiger, an influential Ohio lawyer, then visiting the city. The lawyer in one day satisfied the authorities that there was no fraud, and secured the lease of the cotton. The speculator was gratified, and in formed Mr. Geiger that be would see him the next morning after he had finished loading his cotton on a steamboat. The lawier retired, but not to sleep. He was debating with himself what he should charge his client. The amonnt involved was large, the speculator would make a handsome fortune, and Geiger thought five hun dred dollars would not be an unreas onable fee for his services. But in the morning, the sum seemed so great for one day's work, that he feared to ask it. In this frame of mind, while walk ing out towards the steamer which was to carry off the cotton, he met the speculator. ? 'Well, Mr. Geiger, that was a good dav'e work you did for me yesterday,' said the client, taking from his pocket a large roll of bank notes. Holding up one knee, he thereon counted off four five hundred dollar bills, and without looking up at the lawyer, asked, 'Is that enough?' Geiger looked on speechless for a moment, but recovering himself, said, with the habitual coolness of a law yer, ' 1 guess you had better lay on another!' It was laid on, and Gieger, putting the two thousand five hundred dollars in his pocket, said, 'Good by, sir.' The Clerk who Knows Every thing.

The ground - was ' Very stony, and every time the plough struck a stone the ploughman took occasion to Swear a little. ! i:i Look here," cried Parson 8.; , 'yon mu8tnot swear' that' way in 'j my field." 1 : - .'? , . .'Well, I reckofi yoa'cT's vUr too, said the man, 'if you had . td plough such a stony field as this.' ' Nat a bi Of it,' said Mr.: 8. Josi let me show you!' - ' i , So the parson took hold of, the plough, but he very soon had consid erable trouble with the stones. As. stone after stone caught the plough share, Mr.- S. ejaculated,- 'Well, I never saw the bkei' And this he repeated every time ai stoqevtoppcd)S4nward way . As soon as he had ploughedYfoUndTonce he stopped and said ' td; the man, 'There, now! You BOO I can. plough without swearing.' ' 'But I guess it's pretty near as bad to lie,' answered the man, "and you told a dozen o' Jies. Every time the plough struck a stone, , yon said, .'I never saw the like,' when - the same thing happened a minute before!' The parson's ejaculations ' were as unnecessary as. the workman's were profane, but they did not show an ir reverent spirit. ' Pronunciation of "U," Some of our readers may thank us for calling attention to the following suggestion as the pronunciation of Ninety-nine out of every hundred Northerners will say institoot instead of institute, dooty for duty a perfect rhyme to Ah e word beauty. They will call n$w and news, noo and noos and sbjm through the dozens and and hundred of similar words. Not a dictionary in the English language authorizes this. In student and stupid, the "u" has the same sound as in cupid, and should not be pronounced etoodent and Btoopid, as so many teachers are in the habit of sounding them. It is a vulgarism to call a door a doah as we all admit-ia it not as much , of a vulgarism to call a news paper a noospaper? One vulgarism is Northern and the other Southern, that's the odIv difference. When the London Punch wishes to burlesque the pronunciations of servants, it makes them call the duke dook, the tutor the tooter, and a tube a toob.
