Dear Colonel i Your own gallant
conduct in the late war. and jour devo
tion to the cause lor which you fought,
prompt" me to presume upon jour kind
ness to correct a statement which appear
in your editorial oolumaa in the iasue oi
October 1st, in regard to General T C
Hindman, late of Arkansas, whose aenent
assassination in fresh in the muni* ©fell
I quote from your article:
• ‘He ( •cmtral Hindman) WM Ant I
very aiiccesnful general, though consider
cd a very brave man "
Allow me to remark that in the ©pin
ion of many, General Hindman, as a sol
dier and commander, wan successful;
measured Ly tha aanie t«ata you would
apply to lioogstrcct, Hood and others ol
our promiuent officers in the army of tho
‘•Lost Oau-e.”
Your correspondent knew him well
during the most arduous and trying part
of his military career, and is prompted to
this communication out of the regard he
fee s for hia former association with him
Karly in tho war General Hindman
organized and carried into service, what
was then known ts Hindman's Legion, a
brave and gallant band of Arkanaiins
He was promoted aud made Brigadier
General upon the recommendation of auch
men as Hardee and Sydney Johnson, for
the soldierly qualities he displayed in the
minor engagements and operations, prior
to the fall of Fort Donelson. and for his
conduct iu the reirnat to Nashville, made
necessary thereby. But a short time
elapsed before the desperate battle oi
Shiloh was fought, and in that engage
ment, so fatal to the fortunes of our Con
federacy, by its want of results. General
Hindmam fell, severely wounded by a
shell, from the effects of which, he never
fully recovered ; hut not till he had cover
ed hi9 command with gl-iry, and won lor
himself, with Breckinridge, a Major
General's stars; and, if I am not mistaken,
before his gallant rival, the lamented Cle
burne, of the same town slid State, and
been successful in securing his promotion
to the same rank.
In consequence of the effects of his
wound unfitting him for field service, Mr.
Davis assigned him, at General Beaure
gard's request, to the command of the
Trans Mississippi Department, and there
yuur uorrtrnj*uiiu«ut uiih iuct mui. «nww
uie to remark that it is pet fcctly impossi
ble to conceive the condition of affairs
which then existed in Arkansas end
Texas.
Van Dorn had just left the State to
join Beauregard, and had left only hospi
tals full of sick men, taking all others with
him. There was not an organised and
equipped body of troops of any kind in
the State, and the Federal forces under
General Curtiss were marching upon Lit
tle Bock for the avowed purpose of cap
luring it and orgatiiiing a State govern
ment. As if by magic, an army was call
ed into being, and although the Missis
f-ip*river was closed and no communica
ti it' could be had with General Beaure
gard, cr supplies obtained, he went vigor
ous! lo work, and threw up fortifications,
erected arsenals and put them in success
ful operation, bruu.-ht forward Texas
troops then being organiied. and from a
raw, undisciplined mob he made an army.
To do this strict discipline and harsh
measures were necessary The Arkansas
troops were mostly conscripts, and the
Texans much dissatisfied by being dis
mounted, mutiny was open and avowed,
and nothing but the iron wi'l and indom
itable energy of General Hindman pre
vented the entire disbandment of that ar
my and the inevitable loss of Tcxna, Ar
kansas and Louisiana to the Confederacy,
which it could not then have survived.
So every battle there is a secret his
tory, and the battle of Prairie Grove, the
only one lit ever fought as an indepen
dent commander, is no exception to this
rule. To enter into a discussion of the
causes which induced him to abandon the
field for which he had fought and on
which his troops were alccping, under
cover of night, would only serve to pTo
yoke controversy, which 1 prefer lo avoid,
saying only that there arc many men con
versant with the whole subject who do
not hesitate to attribute to other cause*
than a want of generalship on his part the
loss of that campaign.
Borne down by this want of success and
the outcry which paralyied Bragg, killed
Sidney Johnston and ruined every man
who attempted tlie role of a disciplinarian.
General Hindman was relieved and order
ed lo Richmond. After presiding over
the court martial for the trial ol General
Lovell, he was ordered to report to Gen
eral Bragg, and commanded Withers’ old
division in the Army of Tennessee. In
ull tile campaign from Chattanooga to At
it. >...... w-i. l.a i«niinr nrr*4t nftrr thft
battle of t’hickamauga for charges which
were dismissed without trial), his com
mand was constantly in action, and he ml
ways led it, frequently acting as corps
commander, and invariably meeting with
success in his operations.
Other causes than military ones, for
which I attempt no justification, are said
to have caused him to leave Hood s army
and there his military career closes
Longstreet failed in his independent
campaigns against Suffolk and Anoxville.
yet who dare say that lie was an unsuc
cessful military nisn. Hood failed at
Franklin and Nashville, but who will un
dertake to strip from his brow one laurel
which Fame has ao proudly entwined
there Success is not the test ot merit,
nor the only proof of the existence ol
genius.
To err is human. Hindman, like other
men, hsd his faults, over which let chari
ty draw the veil, ami let us who knew him
remember only of the dead that which is
good. Trans-Mississippi.

Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether

to cure, if the direction, arc strictly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single

every case more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller d^ses for a week or two
after the disease his been cheeked, more
necially in difficult and long-sf andiug cases
Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep tbe bowels in good order; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a .ingle dose of BULL’rt

SEWING MACHINES!
! tor durability, simplicity and beauty,
; stands without a rival. The stitch is alike
on both sides of the fabric sewed, ftnd will
j not rip or ravel. The following facts hav
| ing been demonstrated, are given as reasons
wby the STAR MACHINE should be prefer
j red to any other:
1. Their great simplicity.
2. it is impossible for them to get out of
adjustment during proper usage.
3. They are of great capacity, and will
stitch, hem, tell, braid, bind, cord and gather
without basting.
4. They have an adjustable press or foot
to hold the work; and they sew equally well
the lightest and heaviest fabrics.
I r tst _ it _• i i. : o '.
without changing the tension or breaking the
finest thread.
C. They use a straight needle—curved onea
are liable to break.
7. The needle has a perpendioular motion.
This is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
8. They run easily, aud are almost noise*
: less.
! THE STAR SHUTTLE is emphatically a
j first-class Machine iu every respect, and,
I what is most of all, it is offered at a lower
price than any other good machine in the
mXrket. Further particulars furnished on
