GEN. BURNSIDE. A War Correspondent’s Recolleo« tions of the Dead Rhode Is land Senator. New York Tribuue, Mr. Nathaniel Paige, formerly a journalist and war correspondent, now & Washington lawyer, gave a Tribune report some interesting remiuisconces of Gen. Burnside: “I was one of The Tribune's cor- respondents with the Army of the Potomae,” said Mr. Paige, “and was with Burnside in all the battles he fought in Virginia. He was an ex- cellent corps commander, brave as a lion, energetic, intensely patriotic, and exceedingly careful of the lives and comfort of his men. As the chiof of a great army, ho was out ot place, and no man knew it better than him- self. He was one of the fow leading generals of the war who never sought advancement, I was with him at Warienton when the news came that he had been appointed to supersede McClellan in the command of the Army of the Potomae. He said very earnestly that he was not competont for the place, and instead of being elated by his great promotion seemed filled with anxiety. He attributed his appointment to the good will of the soldiers of the army, and he was probably right there. Among Mo- Clelian’s corps commanders he was the most popular with the oflicers and men. No other appointment would have pleased the army as well at the time. Gen, Burnside's fatal attack on Lec at Fredericksburg was a movement planned by himself, but it was ap- proved by a majority of the members of the council of war, to whom he submitted it. Franklin, I believe, was the only general who strongly opposed it. When it was adopted, Franklin proposed that he be allowed to cross the river wiih his troops about ten miles below the town and thus make a diversion to draw off a portion of Lee's forces from their strong position on the hills back of Fredericksburg. This was assented to, but the crossing was effected too late te be of much use as a flank movement, and Lee, no doubt, understood that the main at- tack would come upon his front and acted accordingly in the disposition of his forces. “‘Burneide was eager tomakea grand Napoleonic stioke, and believed that bya brilliantcharge he could break and shatter the enemy's army. The war afforded few more splendid spectacles than the shelling of Fredericksburg by our batteries on the Falmouth llls, the placing of the pontoon bridges, the crossing of our troops and the charge on tho stone walls back of the town, but the movement was a fearful mili- tary blunder because the chances were all against dislodging and routing a powerful army having all the advant- age of position and firing from breastworks upon our unprotect- ed regiments. After the defeat and rvetreat of the army across the river 1 was sitting late at night in an old house, in Falmouth, writing my account of the battle by the light of a tallow candle, when, to my sur- prise, I saw Gen. Rurnside enter the room. He locked like a manstunned and dazed. Oblivious of my presence he tlrew himself upon a big old- fashioned bed, which, besidethe table on which I was writing, was the only piece of furniture in the room, and exclaimed: ‘My God, what have I done! What a dreadful calamity! What a terrible sacritice of life for no good.’ For some minutes he continued to groan and lament the disaster in _broken ejacu- lations. After a while he became calmer and seemed to gradually real- izo where he was. Suddenly he rose from the bed and wa'ked out of the room without noticing me. I never mentioned to him his strange noctur- nal visit to my quarters, and,of course, said nothing to wy correspoudence. Ho was no doubt half-crazed by gri over the dcfeat at the time, but by the next morving he had rogained his soldiery diguity and cilm, < “He took upun hiwsclf all the blame for the disuster in the most munly fashion, noi secking to shicld himsclf behind the decision of the council of war, and he promptly asked to be relieved from the command of the army. “‘Burnside was one of the mostkind- hearted of men. He was as courteous to the private soldiers as to theofficers, returning their salutes and often stop- ping to chat with them as he walked through the camps or rode past a reg- iment resting on a warch, Men liked to serve under him, because of his careful attention to the personal walfare of his troops, commissary supplies, doctoring, hospital service, and the like, and of his kindly manner toward all subordinates. He could not be called a strict disciplinarian, but he kept his command in good military trim. His men marched well an fought well, and were no doubt all the better soldiers for their hearty liking for their chief. “‘Burnside was a tall, well-made, goldierly man, not as stout in those days as in recent years, and bad a fine stately presence, whether on foot or on horseback, The top ef his head was quite bald, he wore a mustache and heavy side whiskers. During the war, and for a time afterward, both in the army and in civil life, his style of Dpeard was universally called ‘‘Burn- side whiskers,” and this term has not yet wholly fallen into disuse. For & generation in England Wellington gave a name to top boots; 80 in this country McClellan’s name attaches a saddle, and Burnsmdes to a certain style of whiskers. “Importaat Tidings from the . Roar,” Denver Tribune, The Governor's guard had a wild time at Boulder. Their manouvers wero pronounced the finest ever wit- nessed in that suburb, and acclama- tions of admiration and encourage- mount greeted the heroic bevy on every hand, Although Governor Pitkin was present, he detailed Adjutant. General Stevenson to command his put cohort, Mounted upon a fiery churger, attired in regimentals that would have struck terror to the mar- row of the most obdurate foe and and sherper than the valorous adjutant-general loomed up at the Boulder fair, the adwinistra tion of the women folks aud the envy of the, mmle creatures, Duaring the ALOY (o1 however, an iucident | of fresh water clams and free milling 0 {assailed by disease, and the system wielding a sabre that was u]l;lll’l'luhuuld have a thorough cleansing, the ) st Toledo blade that ever existed, the | purified, malarial peison exterminated, | she must know that Ele ; are the only sure remedy. | the best and transpired which marred the harmony of the occasion. The general had ordored a right oblique march in the direction of the cattle pens, thereby producing the wildest consternation among a lot of eraven steers therein confined, when, lo, a courier astride a bay gelding flecked with foam came dashing up. “How now, Lentullus?” demanded the surprised general. “Important tidings from the rear,” replied thu courier, pale andtrembling. “Well, wall,” cried the general, im- patiently, ‘“‘tell me them at once ere retreat be too late.” “May't please your grace,” continued © courier, “*the commissariat has by strango blunder neglocted to bring with the baggage tram the supply of bottled beer you ordered!” This ap- palling intelligence struck the General like the hiud heel of a mule. He dropped his sabre, leaned over the porpmel of hissaddle and wept like a child, The dreadful news soon spread among the ranks and for a brief spell anarchy seemed imminent. Patriot- ism, however, soon triumphed in the bosom of the bereaved chiet, He dried his eyes, regained his cutlass and bads his warriors forget, if they could, their sorrow and deport themselves as mar- tial spirits should. A more remarka- ble exhibition of fortitude was never witnessed and the citzens of Boulder rewarded it with rounds of hearty ap- plause. DEATH'S SHADOW. How the Assaesin Guiteau Schemed to Murder the President. From the Assassin's Autibiography. After I had mado up my mind to remove Garficld, the idea when I shoull remove him pressed me, aud I was somewhat confused on that, I know that it would not do to go to the White House and attempt 1t, because there were tov many of his employes about, and I looked around for severa days to try and get a good chance at him, and one Sunday (the Sunday be- fore he went to Long Branch) I went to his church in the morning. It is asmall frame building, and I stood there at the door a moment, I was a littlo late; the services had pro- grossod about one-third. T noticed the vresident sitting by an open win- dew about three feet from the ground, and I thought to myself, ‘‘That would be a good chance to get him.” Tin- tended to shoot him through the back of the head and let the ball pass through the ceil- ing, in order that mno one else should be injured. And there could not possibly be a botter place to remove a man than at his devotions. 1 had my revolver in my possession | when I first went to the church, hav- ing purchased it about ton days before the president's going to Long Branch. This was the Sunday prior to his lea ing Long Branch on Saturday. During that whole week I vead the papers carefully. T thought it all over inde- tail. I thought just what a tremen- dous excitement i1t would create, and I kept thinking about it all the week. I made up my mind that the next Sunday I would certainly shoot him if he was in church and I got a good chance-at him, Thursday of the same week I noticed in the paper that he was going to Long Branch, and on the following Saturday he did go to the Brauch for Mrs, Garfield’s health. T went to the depot all prepared to re- move him, -1 had the revolver with me. Ihadall my papers nicely pre- pared. I spoke to a wan about a car- riage to takeme, as I told him over near the congressional cemetery. He said that he would take me over for 82, and he seemed to be a very clever fel- low and glad to get the job. I got to the depot about 9 o'clock and waited there until the president’s whitehouse carringe drove up. About 9:256 the president and his carriage and ser- vants and friends came up. He got out of his carriage. I stood in the ladies’ room, about the middle of the room, watching him, Mrs, Garfield got out and they walked into the ladies’ room, and the pres- ence of Mrs. Garfield deterred me m firing on him. 1 was all ready; my mind was all fnade up; 1 had all my papers with me; T had all - the ar- rangements made to shoot him and to jump into a carriage and drive over to the jail. Mrs. Garficld looked so thin, and she clung so tenderly to the president’s arm, that I did not have the heart to fire on him. He pussed right through the la- dies’ reception room, through the main entrance, and took the cars, I waited a few moments. I went outside the depot and walaed up town to the Riggs house and Arling- ton and the park. T think that T went to the park and sat there for an hour or two thinking about 1t, and I went to my lunch as usual, and after my lunch I went to the libiary of the treasury department and read the [} papers as usual, and I think I stayed there until 3 o‘clock on Saturday, and then went out. 1 do not remember where I was particularly; I think T went to the Riggs, the Arlingten or WEED AND SHERMAN, Charncteristic Epistls From 01d Teonmueh The following letter has boeen re- ceived from Genoral Sherman by J. M. Dalzell: Heanquarters U, 8. Army, | Wasuinaron, D. C.y October 8. Ton, J. M. Dalzell, Caldwell, O Dear Danzetr,—As you request in your lotter ot October 4, T roturn herewith tho letter of Thurlow Weed, which you ought of course, to pre- serve. How Mr. Weed was instru- mental in bringing me back to the military sorvice in 1860 1 am, of course, unable to say, but his stato- ment with reference to his interven- tion with President Lincoln and Secrotary Cameron is all news to me. I can not recall evor having met with or soen him till long after the war was over, 1 have great respect for tho old gentleman, but am reminded of the infirmity of age, by his laying down my route from Atlanta to Rich- mond asthrough the states of Tonnes- soe, Arkansas, Mississippi and the Carolinas. That surely would have been a swing around the circle. I am sure 1 appreciate the partiality of frionds, such as Thurlow Weed and others, but am more and more con- vinced each day that this world will move on In its usual orbit; that man is & mere atom, of little influence; that cach year and each epoch creates its own agents; that the great men of 1776 were not suited to 1812; that these again fell short in 1846, those in 1861. Each epoch calls for new agents, and should the year 1900 call for new men the Grants, Shermans and Sheridans will fail as signally as did the 8St. Clairs and Huils of 1812, and the Wools and Worths of 1846, As long as our country is in the ascendant scalo men will arise equal to any occasion, but when the time comes for a decline then no personal effort will avail or succeed.

Depot, C. ¥, Goodman, Omaha, 3) An Interesting Event. Special to the Chicago Tiibune. Prrrssure, Pa., October 10.—An event of considerable importance to the local irpn trade came off to-day. The largest steam hammer in the United States, recently placed in posi- tion in the Black Diamond steel works of Park Brothers & Co., was operated this afternoon for the first time, ex- cept a brief trial on Saturday to see that all the machinery was inworkmngorder. Thehammer weighs seventeen tons, while the anvil-blosk under it weighs 160 tons. With a full head of steam it will strike & blow of ninety tons, but, as this tremendous weiglt is not always nocessary in ham- mering, it can bemade to strike as light as desired. It has a thirty-eight-inch cylinder and nine-foot stroke. The test was watched with great interest. The ponderous blows made the earth shake for a radious of nearly 200 yards. It will require several days to perfect- ly adjust the hammer so that a blow of any required weight may be given with exactness and nicety. ‘I'he Black Dia- mond works are now operating twen- ty-six hammers, which weigh from 200 pounds up to seventeen tons. Thebig hammer is for forging steamboat shafts and other heavy work, which is now done in the East or Europe. Bogus Certificates. It is no vile drugged stuff, pretend- ing to be made of wonderful foreign roots, barks, &c, and puffed up by long bogus certificates of pretended miraculous cures, but a simple, pure, effective medicine, made of well known valuable remedies, that fur- nishes its own certificates by its cures.
