Show One or Iho most singular claims before Congress at the present time is th.it of a Miss Anna KIlcii Carroll, who has made out beyond all doubt that she conceived and planned tho campaign for opening the Mississippi and breaking the rebel power in tho southwest, which was finally adopted and carried out successfully. There is no doubt the lady saved millions to the country and is entitled to grati tudc and compensation. It detracts somewhat from the glory' of :onic military mil-itary chieftains; but Miss Carroll will doubtless be recocnizod and rewarded. |
