18. The Amboy Guardian *July 6, 2022Getting Ahead in Business By Milton ParisMilton Paris25 Crenshaw Ct.,Monroe, NJ 08831Phone: 732-306-0040Email: miltonjparis@yahoo.comwww.gettingaheadinbusiness.comIN LIEU OF MY BUSINESS COLUMNTHIS MONTH I WILL BE DISCUSSINGANIMAL KILL SHELTERS.My Father used to say “It’s only the beginning” so let’s startfrom the beginning.I love all animals and 45 years ago I became a vegetarian. I wasstaying in Aruba and on the beach there were many stray dogs.It was a sad site to see. I was very moved by this and in the evenings,when my wife was in the casino with our friends, I wouldbring some of the dogs into my Cabana and bring in food forthem. I was very depressed by this. When my wife realized what Iwas doing she told me I was having a breakdown. As a result..nomore meat, fish or chicken.A few months later we left on another vacation to California.Walking in Beverly Hills I noticed someone riding a bike witha license plate “Doris”. I ran after and sure enough it was DorisDay.She spoke to us about her involvement in animal rights and theNorth Shore Animal League on Long Island. We took pictureswith her, which is hanging in my office today.When we returned home to Long Island I volunteered for threeyears at North Shore trying to get the dogs and cats adopted.I would like to do something for animals that are in kill shelters.Their policy is to euthanize any animal that is not adopted after 7days. My dream is not to have any kill shelters and keep animalsuntil they are adopted.If any of my readers have any suggestions or know of any personI can contact, please let me know. No healthy animal shouldbe “put down”. Remember a dog is your best friend.On my radio program Getting Ahead in Business on airing Sunday’son FoxSportsnJ I have the following guests: Peta, SomersetRescue, Funny Farm, Standardbred Retirement. In the comingweeks there will be representatives from other animal shelters.Together let’s find a way to extend the life of animals at these NoKill Shelters.NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!If you have any business questions or would like to meet withme in person: e-mail: milton@gettingaheadinbusiness.com732.306.0040CASA of Middlesex CountyHolding Baby Formula DriveMIDDLESEX COUNTGY - Due to the national formula shortage,parents are struggling to find enough baby formula fortheir children.

William Steele, knowing that he will soon be facing over 4,000Federal troops, on July 8, 1862, leads his 350 Confederate troopers — Sibley’s rear guard, withorders to “hold the territory” — toward Ft. Bliss, in Texas. Capt. Sherod Hunter’s Arizona Rangerscompany is the last unit to exit Confederate Arizona. In the Indian Territory, the commandant of thedepartment in which the territory is located, Maj. Gen. Thomas Hindman, is concerned by the Federalvictory at Locust Grove earlier in the month. He orders Brig. Gen. Albert Pike, the Commandant ofIndian Territory, to bring his Indian troops forward from Fort McCullough, in the Choctaw Nation,near the Red River border with Texas. Pike complies, but to Hindman’s annoyance, without urgency.President Lincoln on July 9 visits with Maj. Gen. George McClellan at Harrison’s Landing, Virginia,southeast of Richmond. McClellan, convinced that the recent difficulties faced by his Army of thePotomac have been caused by Lincoln’s refusal to send him more troops, hands the president a letter.In the missive, McClellan points out what he sees as weaknesses in Lincoln’s military and politicalstrategies and states that military operations should not interfere with slavery. After his meeting withMaj. Gen. McClellan, President Lincoln recalls Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck to the capital city fromhis posting as commander of all Federal armies in the West. In Kentucky, Confederate raider Col.John Hunt Morgan and his cavalry seize Tompkinsville, just north of the Tennessee border. In theFar West, a second detachment (comprising around 140 troops) of the Federal California Columndeparts Tucson for the Rio Grande. (Because of the scarcity of water en route, troops can only besent detachment-by-detachment several days apart to allow water holes to replenish.) Col. WilliamSteele and his Confederate force reach Ft. Bliss, in Franklin, Texas. He begins selling military storesand equipment in return for specie (gold and silver) with which to buy food.With troops pulled from the Army of the Potomac, Maj. Gen. John Pope establishes his UnionArmy of Virginia on July 10 at Culpeper, about 70 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. Pope makesclear that any active resistance by civilians within his jurisdiction will be met with a harsh response,including being shot without legal process. In Kentucky, Confederate Col. John Hunt Morgan’sraiders aggressively press Federals as they are met.On July 11, President Lincoln appoints Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck as general-in-chief of the U.S.Army. His first task: to determine why Maj. Gen. McClellan has yet to launch an effective offensive,and fire him if necessary. In Missouri, William Quantrill’s Confederate partisans fight a skirmish ofseveral hours at Pleasant Hill, south of Independence.Construction of the ironclad CSS Arkansas is completed on July 12 at Yazoo City, Mississippi,on the Mississippi River north of Vicksburg. In Indian Territory, Federal troops under Col. WilliamWeer capture Tahlequah, the capital of the Cherokee Nation. Cherokee chief John Ross is arrestedfor having signed a treaty with the Confederacy. Albert Pike, Confederate commandant of IndianTerritory, who has spent the months since the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas (March 7-8, 1862),feuding with other Confederate commanders over the role of his Indian troops, resigns his positionand commission, to return to private life. Pike’s departure leaves Col. Stand Watie, of the CherokeeMounted Rifles, and Col. Douglas Cooper, of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Mounted Rifles, as thesenior commanders in the Indian Territory.To support John Hunt Morgan’s raiding in Kentucky, and to provide added distraction from Gen.Braxton Bragg’s shifting of troops of his Army of Tennessee from Tupelo, Mississippi, to Chattanooga,Tennessee, Confederate Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest on July 13, 1862, leads 1,400 cavalrymen out ofChattanooga on their first raid under his command. After heavy fighting, they capture Murfreesboro,Tennessee, disrupting Federal military traffic on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad that runsthrough the town. The Southerners also seize a large amount of military equipment and supplies.The U.S. Congress, on July 14, passes an enabling act that creates the State of West Virginia,comprising counties that had seceded from the State of Virginia. (The new state gains admission tothe Union on June 20, 1863.) In Texas, leaving 26 sick and wounded men behind at a hospital inFranklin, Col. William Steele and his battalion depart Fort Bliss for San Antonio, 630 miles away.Thus ends the Confederate invasion of New Mexico.On July 15, the Southern ironclad ship CSS Arkansas, completed just three days earlier, attacksand damages ships of the Federal fleet at the mouth of the Yazoo River. Some Union ships retreatsouthward to New Orleans, while the rest scurry northward to Helena, Arkansas. In one clash, theArkansas has broken the “river siege” of Vicksburg, now garrisoned by 16,000 Confederate troopsunder Maj. Gen. Earl Van Dorn. Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant is given command of the Federal Districtof West Tennessee, bounded by the Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers. His independent command,answerable only to Washington, D.C., is tasked with capturing Vicksburg, Mississippi, and openingthe Mississippi River. In the southern portion of the New Mexico Territory (formerly ConfederateArizona), the second detachment of the California Column, comprising 140 men, is attacked bya war party of 500 Apache braves led by Cochise and his father-in-law, Mangas Coloradas, as itenters Apache Pass in the Chiracahua Mountains, east of Tucson. After bitter fighting lasting almosttwo days, the outnumbered Californians, with the aid of two mountain howitzers, finally drive theApaches off. In the battle, two soldiers are killed and two wounded. Nine Apaches die in the fighting.On July 16, the rank of rear admiral — for the first time in the history of the U.S. Navy — isconferred, upon Capt. David Farragut. (Previously, the Navy’s highest rank was flag officer.)In Washington, D.C., President Lincoln on July 17 signs into law the Second Confiscation Act,which provides for the freeing of slaves coming into areas of Federal jurisdiction from outside theUnion. With 63,000 troops reporting to him (including 15,000 under Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman,at Memphis), Maj. Gen. Ulysses Grant establishes the headquarters of his independent command atCorinth, Mississippi. In Kentucky, Col. John Hunt Morgan leads his Confederate raiders in a surpriseattack of Union soldiers at Cynthiana, in the northern part of the state. After several hours of fighting,the Federals withdraw, and the Southerners take over the town.On July 18, civilian Confederate scout Adam Johnson leads a raiding party across the Ohio Riverfrom Kentucky and attacks Newburgh, Indiana, not far from Evansville. Convinced they are facinga large force, the Union garrison there surrenders, and Johnson and his men capture the town. His“force” consists of 12 men and two pieces of stove pipe mounted on a wagon to look like a cannon.Johnson, who later joins the army and achieves the rank of brigadier general, henceforth becomesknown as “Stovepipe” Johnson.
