IfiiKiTs: By ALPEED 8.~ OALHOUH. [Copyright, 1895, by American Press Associa- tion.] CHAPTER L James Coleman was born m Ports*, mouth, 0., about the year 1886, and so was 25 years of age at the breaking out of the war. He received a good oommon Bohool. education, and as bis father was a meohanical draftsman young Coleman became skilled m that art. At the age of 18 he went to Cinoinuati and served two years' apprenticeship m the oar nnd repair shops of the Hamilton and Dayton railroad. At the age of 31 he was considered the best mechanio m the oity, and had he continued the same vooation m the same plaoe position and prosperity would have come to him while he was still a young man. It was the reaotion, after long years of restaint and the desire to travel that characterizes so many young men of in- telligence and spirit, that induoed Cole- man to go south soon after he was freed from his indentures. Between his 21st and his 25th years he had worked m the principal maohine and repair shops m the central southern states. He was of medium height, his faoe was strong and unusually intelleotual, and his habits were almost ascetic Although retioent and given to study rather than to com- panionship during his spare hours, his conduct oommanded the respeot of his superiors and the warm regard of his as- sooiates. Coleman reached Atlanta m the sum- mer of 1860, and was there when the state seceded and 1861 brought war. Even at that early day the young mechanio saw the possibilities m electrioity, and with a view to its better and cheap- er use as a medium of communication he mastered the art of telegraphy, and I have been told that he was the first man m Atlanta who could road by sound, thus dispensing with the primi- tive tape. Although the ring on the flag at Sumter produced as much excitement m the south as m the north, the feeling was of a different land. On the one side it was a volcanio indignation, on the other it was a fierce exultation. At- lanta was all aglow ovor the event, and although among the merchant and ar- tisan olasses there were many who at heart were true to the Union, prudence forbade their giving expression to their thoughts. Amid all the uproar there was one man who retained his habitual calmness of manner and maintained the custo- mary routine of his life, and that was James Coloman. The word "crank' l was not then used m its present sense, but Coleman's associates voted him to be an "ecoentrio genius," and believing him to be too much absorbed m his pro- posed inventions to have any interest m politics or war they left him unquestion- ed. Had his roal feelings been known at that time or his schemes been suspected ho could not havo remained alive m the Gate City for an hour. Noinatter how open many of the sub- sequent acts of the Confederate author- ities are to criticism, it must be con- ceded that m tho beginning they had a fuller and more accurate comprehension of the extent and continuance of the struggle on whioh they had entered than had Mr. Lincoln and his cabinet. They proved this when they made the whole Confederacy an armed camp, seized control of every private enterprise that might m any way aid their cause and administered the oath of allegiance to every man oapable of bearing arms. In the hope of independence the southern people submitted, without protest, to martial law, and to conditions that at first would seem impossible to a people so spirited and so quick to act where their liberty was interfered with or their honor assailed. As- every railroad m the south was , under the control of the military author- ity at Richmond it followed that all the. j employees must be mustered into the ! same service and either sent to the front or retained m their old places. When the time came, Coleman followed the example of his fellow workmen and en- tered the service of the Confederacy. Many of these meohanics, who were northern men by birth and training, sub- sequently deserted to the Union lines, but, with rare exceptions, they did not join the Union army. Coleman still continued his eleotrical studies and experiments, and his skill becoming known to Governor Brown he was ordered to report to General Beaure- gard, at Corinth, immediately follow- ing the battle of Shilob, m April, 1862. Without expressing delight or dissent, he packed up his few belongings and re- ported to the successor of Albert Sidney Johnston. The Creole general was quick to see Coleman's merits, and he at once appointed him to the charge of the mili- tary telegraphs m the field, At this time tho signal service was far from efficient on either side; the volunteers were entirely ignorant of its methods and necessities, and the knowl- edge of the regular army offioers was largely theoretic From his entrance on his duties at Corinth till he severed his connection with tho Confederacy, Cole- man, m addition to his other work, be- gan to study and perfect the signal serv- ice of the southern army m the west. His talents, habits and his modest self possession soon made him a favorite wiih his new associates, and his loyalty to the cause of secession was never even suspected. His improvements were adopted, and m addition tp his other duties he was ordered to instruot a uumber of young men who had been de- tailed for the signal service. I could never learn whether Coleman worked out tho key to the Confederate oipher himself or learned it directly from headquarters, but I am inclined to believe 'that the former was the case, for the translation of ciphor dispatches \vas at no time a part of his duty. Aft- er the Confederate army retreated to Tupalo, Miss., and Bragg took oom- (TO BE CONTINUED.
