iThe race is not ttilic swift nor thebattle to the strong or s expressed inthe Texans song ril

Tbe race is not ttOfyem thats gotThe longest legs to ran

Nor the battle to that peopleThat shoots the biggest gun

After the battle of Shiloh and the evac-uation

¬

of Corinth Gen Bragg had movedhis arraj by means of the railroads ofAlabama and Tennessee eastward toChattanooga on the left flank of Bucllsarmy Early in August 18G2 he plannedan invasion of Kentucky Tho initialmovement was made by Ktrby Smithwho with from 10000 to 12000 infantryand 1000 cavalry made a rapid marchfrom Knoxrville entered Kentucky byway of Big Creek Gap and preceded byCol John Scotts active and daring caval-ry

¬

encountered defeated and dispersedNelsons forces at Richmond Nelsonsarmy about 10000 strong being at thattime Aug 29 the only formidable bodyof organized Federal troops in the StateNo other army during the war was so sig-nally

¬

annihilated in a single days battleKlrby Smith flushed with victory Els

troops exultant pushed on to tbe nlluringfields of promise in central Kentucky andestablishing himself at Lexington wherethere was nothing in his environment tomolest or make him afraid he forthwithbegan to threaten both Louisville and Cin-cinnati

¬

especially the latter the twocities being then practically defenselessThe following diagram indicates GenSmiths commanding position

Meanwhile Bragg nt Chattanoogawas manuvering to induce Buell to be-

lieve¬

he was to be attacked in centralTcnnesee

Tne disposition fjyjrmELLs ArtjtrWhen Kirbv Smith was marching from

-- - -supplies-- --

If the estimates made-by-C- Duke andbis scouting parties wprcr correct or approximately so uen Httells army andthat of Bragg were nearly equal la num-bers

¬

Although he had previously made somepreparations for the concentration of histroops Gen Buell did not succeed inmassing his nrmy until about Aug 28 orwhen Kirby Smith was moving upon Nelson at Richmond far away in Kentuckynor does it appear that Buell had knownof Smiths movement or made any prep-arations

¬

to frustrate It unless indeed hethonght that JNelson in central Kentuckyand Gen Geo W Morgan at CumberlandGap would be able to defeat the wilyand enterprising Confederate General inany incursion he might ninue northwardfrom Knoxville

It would seem that Bragg lost a goldenopportunity when be failed to march outfrom Chattanooga and attack Buell before he could concentrate bis widely scat-tered

army Had he marched straight onNashville when Kirby Smith moved fromKnoxville Gen Buell could not haveconfronted him with more than 20000men

THE RACE COURSE

Gen Bragg marched out from Chatta-nooga

¬

Aug 28 moving northwest overthe plateau of the Cumberland Mountainsand up the Sequatchie Valley to Snartnthence to Carthage The movement fromChattanooga was eminently skillfulThreatening Nashville it had a tendencyto confirm Buell in his belief that he wasto be attacked in central Tennessee Infact it is just possible that Bragg didcontemplate asaulting Nashville U he

the Confederates that they had todeal with a General of superior caliberand when later the authorities at Wash ¬

rejoiced with exceeding great joy TheConfederate troops in the West alwaysregarded Gen Buell as being an adversary worthy of their most distinguishedconsideration

The Confederates reached GlasgowSept 13 and immediately thereafter tookposition on the main roads at Cave CityMeanwhile the Federals with all the ex-pedition

¬

tliey could command had onlyreached Bovling Green the respectivelines of march being then some 2 or 30miles apart Gen Buell had thought itprudent to detach a garrison for Nash-ville

¬

thereby decreasing the strength ofhis nrmy which he kept steadily andcertainly marching along roads parallelwith the railroad Having to subsist inthe main upon the country he was com-pelled

¬

to move with his forces dividednlong several roads

DELAY AT M JTfFOTtDSVILLE

When Bragg arrived at Munfordsvillehe permitted himself to be delayed an tw- -

Maj Gev Don Carlos Buellreasonable length of time in an effort tocapture the garrison nt that place at tbecrossing of Green River This garrisonsome 3n00 or 4000 strong was com- -innnded by Gen Wilder a notably gallantofficer Wilders troops were Intrenchedin a position that commanded the cross-ing

¬

nf the railway nnd the turnpike roadAn effort to carry Wilders position by as¬

sault failed Notwithstanding he hadrOOOO veteran troops under his commandBragg devoted three days to investing andreducing Wilders defenses the Federalgarrison not surrendering until Snt 17

When Bragg should have been in osession of Louisville he was cngnged inreducing the comparatively petty Federalstronghold at Mtinfordsville

niSAGO IN THE HOME STRETCH

nnving secured the strategic positionnt Tkliiiifnrdsville Bragg was master ofthe situation Tiiere was a straight openroiid to Louisville and a wide open doorthere fr him to enter in Notwithstand-ing

¬

his dilatory movements he was a goodfoiidays march ahead of the northwardmoving Federal army In sighLof thegoal he strangely abandoned the raceFrom the time Bragg reached Munfords-ville

¬

until he finally retreated from Ken-tucky

¬

he seems to have moved like a manin a dream

The question has been asked If GenBragg did not want to go to Louisvillewhat was to prevent him from stoppingGen Buell calling Kirby Smith to hisassistance and thus outnumbering crushhis adversary

Obviously two courses were open to theConfederate General at Munfordsville Heeould undoubtedly have pushed forwardraptured Louisville or Cinciunati or bothnnd gathering support from Kirby Smithhave fought Buell with superior numbersor if he did uot want to fight Bucll at nilhe could have marched back on Nashvillewhile Bueil was marching on LouisvilleIt is not unreasonable to suppose that hernuld have established himself on thebanks of the Cumberland with less or lossfatigue and discontent among his troopsthan existed when after bis long harass-ing

¬

and wearying marches he halted atMurfreesboro much later

Instead of pursuing either of thecourses above indicated Bragg droonedout of the home stretch in the race forLouisville and marched northeast toUnrdstottn on the roiid to Lexingtonleaving Bucll to march trinmnhnutlv andwimout molestation to Louisville whereamid much applause he was crowned withthe wreath due the victor in the raceBragg meanwhile nnlaureled and unno- -pln tided drcamingly marched to Lexington

SOME REFLECTIONSBraggs possession of Louisville would

have been exceedingly embarrassing toiren tniell who would have been com ¬

pelled to find his way to the Ohio Rivernt some point where he could open neweotnmunications To do this In the pres ¬

ence of a victorious nnd vigilant adver-sary

¬

would have been fraught with dinlnlties so serious as to almost hopelessly

discourage even a commander of Buellsexceeding ability

The greater meed of praise Is dne GenBuell because of the fact that he had tomarch by the longer route seriously hand ¬

icapped in many ways nnd at the startlid not know with certnintv whetherBraggs objective point was Nashville orioutsviiie

If peradventurp the Confederate Gen-eral

¬

never really Intended to occupy Lou-isville

¬

why did he move so far westwardEvidently if his primary object was tojoin Kirby Smith at Lexington he shotildhave fully adopted Forrests maximTake the short cut nnd get there first

with the most men It is true his westward movement served as a feint onXnshville nnd to somewhat mystify GenBuell If however he did not intendto capture Louisville the faint on Nash ¬

ville was uot necessary He could havemade demonstrations upon Bucll bymeans of a detachment of infantry anilStrong bodies of cavalry of which hehad a large force and with his mainarmy starting from Chattanooga takenthe Rhort cut nnd reached Lexingtonsimultaneously with Kirby Smith

The fact remains however that GenBragg did march westward that despitedilatory marchiug lie secured the strategicpoint Munfordsville where he fell be¬

tween two lines of brilliant and promis ¬

ing action verifying the quotation fromSolomon that heads this sketch The raceis not to the swift nor the battle to thestrong

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL- m

Few People Know How Useful it is in Pre

serving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoalis the safest and most efficient disinfectanttud puriher in uature but fen realize usvalue when taken into the human systemi or the same cleansing purpose

Charcoal is a remedy that the more youtake of it the better it is not a drug atill but simply absorbs the gases and iuimrities alwuis present in the stomachmd intestines and carries them out of theiistem

Charcoal sweetens the breath aftersinokiug drinking or after eating onionsind other odorous vegetables

Charcoal effectually clears and improvesdie complexion it whitens tbe teeth andurther acts as a natural aud eminently

4i fe catharaticIt absorbs the injurious gases which col

ect in the stomach and bowels it disiuects the month aud throat from the poisouif catarrh

All druggists sell charcoal in one formor another but probably the best charcoalind the most for the money ls in tuart aVbsorbent Lozeifgcs they are composedif the finest powdered Willow charcoalmri other harmless antiseptics in tabletlorm or rather in the form of large pleas- -

int tasting lozenges tbe charcoal beingmixed with honey

The daily use of these lozenges will soonell in a much improved condition of tbe

--uueral health better complexion 3weeterreath aud purer blood and the beauty oft is that no possible harm can result fromheir continued use but on the contraryreat benefit

A IJUUaio pnysicinn in KuetiKing or tneeiicfits of charcoal says I advisernnrts Absorbent Lozenges to all na- -

tients suffering from gas in stomach andnowels and to clear the complexion andpurify the breath mouth and throat Illso believe the liver is greatly benefitedby the dnily use of them they cost buttwenty five cents a box at drug stores nndilthough in some sense a patent prepara-tion

¬

vet i believe I get more and betterharcoal in Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges

than in any of the ordinary charcoal tab-lets
