It is Claimed That He Has Twenty More Than ix Needed to Nominate. It seems to be practically settled that the jcint caucus of republican legislators of Indiana to nominate a candidate for the United States Senate will not be held be- fcre the middle of next week. The “field, the term which the polli- ticlans are using to designate the opposi- tion to Charles W. Fairbanks, is opposed to an early caucus. Mr. Fairbanks’ friends do not take issue on this point, but say their candidate is likely to gain strength rather than lose. The “field” would like to have the caucus put off until January 18, one day before the election is to take place. If a compromise 1s effected it will probably Yesult in the nomination being made either Tuesday night, January 12, or Thursday night, January 14. ‘Monday night the Fairbanks managers held a “‘checking-up” conférence, and it is said that their candidate has at least twenty votes in addition to the forty-three necessary to nominate, The other candi- dates, who are still in the field and who have established headquarters at~-Indian- apolts, are W. R. McKeon, Gen. Lew Wal- lace_and Judge Robert 8. Taylor. Judge Job H. Baker still says he is nota can- idate and cannot allow his in the contest, —~ mame to be MISSIONARY A Dispatch Said ¥~Longstreet to Have Settled the War. FORREST’ S MESSAGE 70 BRAGG as Eig Gen. Boynton Shows That It Was Based on Wropig:Conclusions. SOME INTERESHNG HISTORY Bi A dispatch written by the confederate general Forrest, dated September 21, 1863, during the movements of troops about Chattanooga, has recently been brought to light. Much importance has been attached to this document because of the opinion at- tributed to General Longstreet that it con- tained the instructions which determined the fate of the confederacy. The dispatch is a brief one, dictated by General Forrest under most exciting conditions, signed by him, and addressed to General Polk, who was asked to forward it to General Bragg. At the time the message was written Gen- eral Forrest, it is said, was making obser- vations high up in a tree on Missionary Ridge. He had been sweeping the great battlefielc of Chickamauga with his glass- es; he believed he.saw evidences of an at- tempt on the part of General Rosecrans and his army to escape from the trap in which the confederates supposed they had snared him, and in which they expected to capture him’and his whole army. He, then, calling down from the tree, dictated the dispatch in question to his adjutant, who wrote it upor a sheet of dingy blue paper with a lead pencil, using an upturned saddle stir- rup as a writing desk. This dispatch an- rounced to General Polk General Forrest’s belief -that the enemy were evacuating Chattanooga and “his opinion that the con- federate army ought to press forward as rapidly as possible, What Becamé of the Document. According to ‘Holland,” the New York ccrrespondent of the Philadelphia Press, the subsequert history bf the dispatch was as follows: “As soon as the dispatch was written it was sent to General Pclk, who, as request- ed, sent the information to General Bragg, who was the commanding officer. After this was done General Polk put the dis- patch in his dispatch box, and years after it was found by his son, Dr. Mechlenburg Polk, who is now a practicing physician in New York city. Knowing that Dr. John A. Wyeth was collecting material for a life of General Forrest, in whose command Dr. Wyeth served when a mere lad, Dr. Polk loaned to Dr. Wyeth this dispatch. “In some way the War Department heard that Dr. Wyeth was in possession of this hitherto unsuspected document, and most urgently requested that {t be committed to its care, as it was a dispatch of the utmost importance, and should therefore be kept in a place of permanent safety. Drs. Wy- eth and Polk were of the opinion that the request should be granted, and sent the dis- Patch to the War Department after having caused a fav-simile jof it to be photo- graphed. “Recently Dr. Wyeth sent to General Longstrect a fac-sithile, bf this dispatch, and it was this whic’ brought from Long- street a day cr two agp w letter of acknow]- edgment, in which he says: ‘That dispaich fixed the fate of the confederacy.’ And he also added that with. that us a guide he should write a magaginel article explaining why, in his view, this was the document which thus determined. the confederate cause,” Effect of the Dispatch. Concerning the effect of the dispatch “Holland” says: ee OF “It suggested to Bragg an opportunity to gratify a certain vanity and love of display, which Was''a @onspicuous trait of. his character, ie “Saw that it gave him a chance, as hé sppposed, to march Into and throvgh Ghattinooga with all the pomp and cerémeny. of ‘a conqueror. He therefore abandoned’ his. plan and undertook to pursue and destroy instead of to head off and stirround Rosecrans. General Longstreét says that the delay caused by this change of plan zave Rose- erans an opportunity: to rally, swiftly to throw up intrenchments and, by reason of the firmness with which Thomas held his position—which caused that superb war- rior to be called ‘The Rock of Chickanau- ga'—to maintain himself until relieved. Longstreet wondered why Bragg had aban- doned his plan, Forrest and Polk could not understand the sudden change in Rose- crans’ movements. They did not realize that the delay had ‘given Rosecrans an opportunity such as he prayed ne might secure and of which he was quick to take advantage, and such advantage as, in the opinion of the confederates, saved his army. Longstreet could not have known of this dispatch of General Forrest's, or, if he did know of it, could have had no clear understanding of what was in it, since the copy which was sent to him re- cently scems to have been the first that he ever saw. His friends have known that he has felt that the great moment for the confederacy, its supreme hour, when its destiny was decided, was that moment when General Bragg abandoned his plan of attempting to cut off the retreat of Rosecrans. It may be that Longstreet knew that Bragg came to that determina- tion because of information which he had received from Forrest. At all events, thir- ty-three years after this battle General Longstreet, the survivor of all the abler generais of the confederate army, expresses the deliberate opinion that ‘This dispatch fixed the fate of the confederacy.’ In that opinion he does not agree with some of the other military leaders. Whether the military historians will agree with him or not, the fact remains that the discovery of this dispatch and Longsirest’s opinion that it contained the destiny of the con- federate states will be accepted as a most valuable contribution to the milltary his- tory of the civil war.” Gen. Boynton's Comments. A Star reporter brought the views at- tributed to Gen. Longstreet concerning the Ferrest dispatch to the attention of Gen. H. V. Boynton, who, as a@ soldier, took ecnspicuous part in the Chattanooga cam- paign, and who is recognized as perhaps the gest living authority on matters re- lating to the Army of the Cumberland. Gen. Boynton said: “The dispatch of Gen. Forrest, to which you call my attention, which has recently been produced by his biographers as one that ‘fixed the fate of the confederacy’ through Gen. Bragg’s disregarding it, and which is, therefore, declared to be ‘the crucial dispatch of the war,’ is of no sig- nificance whatever, beyond showing the misapprehensions wHich ekisted in the con- federate army during’ the forenoon of Sep- tember 21, which wi day after the close of the battle ickamauga, con- cerning the positton’ jovements of the Union army. This dij yh is as follows: “On the . Sept. 21, 1863. “General: We are within a mile of Ross- ville—have been on-the ppint of Missionary Ridge. Can see Ch. looga and évery- thing around. The enemy’s trains are leav- ing, going around the point of Lookout mountain.

B. “ "To Lieutenant E < «(Please forward to General Bragg.)* “At the time this.aispatch was written the Union army was not at Chattanooga. but was in line, fully prepared for battle in Rossville Gap, and upon Missionary Ridge to the right and. left of this-gap, with one of its three corps extending across the valley nearly to moe it -mpuntain..It was, therefore, directly yen. Forrest’s front, and-only @ mile distant. The position it oc- cupied could not have been carried by @irect assault. The army passing around the point,of Lookout moun- tain, but were going Chattanooga un- der direct orders fram . Rosecrans. No pontoon- was being‘ thrown across~~the river for the purpose of retreating, and, by Gen. Rosecran’s..order, the.one already in forward,’ with the result thus set On Mission Ridge. “On taking possession of Mission Ridge, one mile or thereabouts from Rossville, we found the enemy fortifying the gap. Dis- mounted Col. Dibbrell’s regiment, under command of Capt. McGinnis, and attacked them, but found the force too large to dis- lodge them. On the arrival of my artillery, opened on and fought them for several move them.’ nOGen: Forrest had two divisions, which habitually fought dismounted. While the Union army was in line at Rossville, five miles southeast of Chattanooga, Gen. Ros- ecrans was in the city, sending out ammu- nition and provisions, and preparing to bring the army into Chattanooga, which was the objective of the campaign, and to volgen, Charles A. Dana, assistant secre- tary of war, then at Rosecrans’ headquar- ters in she Sy eles = epee ma hi: tch of n. Forrest, a 2 tember ai, thus telegraphed Secretary Stanton: “‘CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 21. “ ‘Rosecrans has issued orders for all our troops to be concentrated here tonight. Thomas will get in about 11 p.m., unless prevented by the enemy, who have been fighting him this afternoon. * There is no time to wait for reinforcements, and Rosecrans is determined not to abandon Chattanooga and Bridgeport without an- other effort. * * * aaa (Signed) “"C. A. DANA.’ What Bragg Would Have Met. “Since Gen. Bragg is so severely crit- icised for not pushing on it Is interesting to inquire what he would have met had he followed Gen. Forrest's advice. “Rossville Gap, in Missionary Ridge, is a deep defile, a mile in length through its highest crests, which, with its flanks on the ridge and in the valley fully protected, formed one of the strongest defensive mili- tary positions held by either army any- where throughout the war. - ‘During the closing hours of the battle of Chattanooga, that is, during the after- noon of Sunday, September 2), Rossville Gap wes occupied in force by Gen. Negley with at least a division of those Union troops which had been forced from the Union right and center, had passed to the rear through Missionary Ridge, and, turn- ing to the right, had taken possession of Rossville Gap, and so stood once more across the Lafayette road, which was Brage’s line of advance to Chattanooga. Not orly this, but Sheridan’s division en- tire had moved through the gap, and marched out three miles on the Lafayette road toward Bragg, and stood across the road, in close contact with Gen. Brage’s left at the time the battle ended. These troops had all recovered from the confusion into which a portion of them had been thrown by the break at noon at Chickamauga. “On the morning of September 21, when Forrest moved up within a mile of the gap to reconnoiter, and when he supposed that the Union army had reached Chattanooga and was ‘evacuating as hard as they can go,’ it was, as already stated, in position, formed and ready for battle on such im- pregnable ground ag above indicated. “General Thomas’ report tells how hi army was here disposed for battle, at the very time General Forrest, in close prox- imity to these lines concealed by the for- ests, Was writing his dispatch to General Polk. After initiating and superintending the movement by which he withdrew _his forces from the Kelley field line, to be fol- lowed with those from Snodgrass Hill, for the purpose of passing them through Mc- Farland’s Gap in Missionary Ridge, around Bragg’s rigat, and placing them in Ross- ville Gap between Bragg and Chattanooga, General Thomas says: : “‘T then proceeded to Rossville, accom- panied by Generals Garfield and Gordon Granger, and immediately prepared to place the troops in position at that point. One brigade of Negley’s division was posted in the gap on the Ringgold road, and two bri- gades on the top of the ridge to the right of the road, adjoining the brigade in the read; Reynolds’ division on the right of Negley’s and reaching to the Dry Valley road; Brannan’s division in the rear of Reynolds’ right, as a reserve; McCook's corps on the right of the Dry Valley road, and stretching toward the west, his right reaching nearly to Chattanooga creek; Crit- tenden’s entire corps was posted on the heights to the left of the Ringgold road, with Steedman’s division of Granger's corps in reserve behind his left; Baird’s division in reserve, and in supporting distance of the brigade in the gap; McCook’s brigade of Granger's corps was posted as a reserve to the brigade of Negley on the top of the ridge, to the right of the road; Minty’s cavalry was on the Ringgold road, about a mile and a half in advance of the gap.’ No Chance for Bragg. “With practically the entire Army of the Cumberland, rested, and thus skillfully posted in strong position, with sufficient rations and ammunition, and with its right guarded on front and flank by Wilder's mounted infantry and three brigades of cavalry, with Speer’s infantry brigade as a support to these, and all, as General Thom- as telegraphed, ‘in high spirits,’ it is not difficult to see what would have happened if Bragg, even with his seasoned and mag- nificent veterans, had followed Forrest's advice to ‘press forward as rapidly as pos- sible.’ “That General Bragg was better informed than General Forrest is sufficiently shown by the fact that, at the very time Forrest was sending the dispatch quoted, General Bragg was telegraphing Adjutant General Cooper at Richmond as follows: “ ‘CHICKAMAUGA RIVER, “ ‘September RIDGE ‘forth tn his official report: 1863. ‘Gen. S. Cooper: “‘After two days’ hard fighting we have driven the enemy, after a desperate resist- ance, from several positions, but he still confronts us. * * * (Signed) BRAXTON BRAGG.’ ‘Of course, this advanced position at Rossville was not one for permanent occu- pation, and during the night of the 2Ist ‘Thomas moved his army to Chattanooga— the objective of Rosecrans’ most remark- able campaign. “What is here said is intended to apply solely to the question of accuracy in Gen- eral Forrest's dispatch, and not to the question between General Lonstreet and General Bragg, to which it is scarcely ap- plicable. The dispatch of General Forrest which relates to that controversy is one of a later date. ——— Burial of Colonel Elkins. Col. Philip Duncan Elkins, the father of Senator Stephen B. Elkins, who died Sun- day, was buried yesterday at Elkins, W. Va. The pallbearers were members of the Elkins Masonic Lodge, to which Colonel Elkins belonged. Colonel Elkins was born in Fanquier county, Va., in 1809. He was living near Kansas City, Mo., when the war broke out, and he joined Price’s army and remained two years in the confederate service. His son, Senator Elkins, was « Union soldier. After the war he went to New Mexico and Colorado. For the last seven years he had lived with Senator El- kins. Colonel Elkins was a lifelong demo- crat and a close personal friend of Senator Thurman and Senator Thomas H. Benton of Missouri. Inventor of Hydraulic Dredging.

I was so de that in order to understand anything it was neces- sary for me to stand right against the person ad- dressing me. “In court, in order to hear what the judge or opposing counsel said, or to understand the answers of the witness on the stand, it was necessary for me to put my ear almost against the mouth of the speaker. “I became so deaf, finally, that I Was Obliged to Give Up My Profes- sion as a Lawyer. “My improvement under the treatment of Dr. MeCoy has been simply wonderful. “The first improvement that I noticed was when I heard two men who were talking behind me ou the street. I thought some one was calling me, but on turning found that they were talking to other. Iam able once more to know what going on around me by the sense of hearing. I «in again hear the noise of traffic, and all con- versation, both of which for a long time I had been totally oblivious to. I can hear the closing of a oor and rumble of a ‘carriage, the electrle cars, the ringing of the door bell and the ticking of a clock, all of which sounds had been totally shut out from me for many years.”” ft Samuel Allen, 504 Harrison St., Anacostia, D.C., aged 72 years.
