There was not it company in any regiment which hud not contributed at least one main. They Wont roaming in Squads of three or four over highwnys where no (Ullll‘tlfllldEF dared send less than half a regiment. and many “ere shot or taken prisoner. Enough were left, however, to terrify the people of every farmhouse in every direction. By some circumstanceabout M) of them reached a certain farmhouse at the same time, and. tinding only a woman and two (‘1‘ three children about. they killed the only pig left, devoured the last few chickens and plundered the house of whatever took their fancy. As it was a rainy night they took up their quarters in the barn. No sooner were they settled down than the woman took her children and set out for help, end after walking seven miles she en- (mmtered a confederate picket post and told of the game in the trap. Ile- ‘ fore midnight the burn was surround- l l i l rd and every “hummer" captured, and mmv of them had not got back to their rs giments when the war Nosed. . IInrnnldc-‘I Order. .\ nmnth before (Ran. Burnside “as re- !ievmi of his command the “hummer” element was called to his attention so forcibly that he issued more stringent orders than had ever before gone out. It was announced that any soldier who should be found absent from his com- mand without a pass would he impris- one‘d during the remainder of the war, with a forfeit of all pay and allow- nnces. The provost guard was in- creased and ordered to do constant scouting, but the “humming" went on just the same. Then came. a second or- der, to the effect that any soldier ab- sent for two days without lenve should 'l,e considered a deserter and treafied accordingly. This brought back some of the men to duty. but one of the pro- fessionals at least ca’me into head- :quarters solely in Search of informaâ€" ‘tion. 'He did not get to see the gen- eral in person. but he had an interview with one of the stafl', and, holding up a printed copy of the lust order in his hand, he said: “Kurnel. the boys kind 0' want to ‘know what this means, and have sent me in to find out." “Can‘t you read?“ demanded the colonel. “More or less, but we can't jest git on to the hang of things. Is the war coming to an end?" “It doesn‘t look like it." “That's the way we all argue, and be- ing as Gen. Burnside can‘t down Lee in a square fight why don't he let us go ahead and eat him out of house and home till he'hns to surrender?" The “anxious inquirer" was sent to the guardhouse pending a return to his company. but he managed to get away in a day or two, and the next. thing heard of him was a scrawl in which he said that four of them had run a con- federate calf into the woods and would divide the vet“ with headquarters it u iegimcnt was sent to assist them t'o make a capture.

The golden opportunity came when Lee invaded l‘ennsylninia. liet'ore crossing the Potomac he issued thestrictestordersagninstlooting, but they were obserted only in Maryland.‘ When the Ynnkee‘ stute was once reached thousands of men went. to for- ngiug on their own account. They were ahead of the armyâ€"behind it»â€" on both flanks. They fornged on horse- back, on foot and in wagons. For 15 miles on either side of the highways they did not miss a farmhouse. The first eullers gobbled the horn-s The next wanted provisions. The next looted the houses. Men on {out lnore away looking-glasses, trunks. bedding. crockery, tinwareâ€"anything they could carry. Those on horsebuek had great bundles in front and behind them. In a train of 29 confederate wagons captured on the retreat was found nlmost every article in use by civilized people. The “bummers” had taken plow points. drng teeth. old hnr» ness collars, rusty spikes, cracked jugs, kegs of Vinegar. hundleless axes, and even the "old oaken buckets" from the wells. There were crowbars and iron wedges; there “ere buggy wheels and luce curtains. There were fztriners‘ boots, children's shoes and women’s slippers, and hosiery belonging to all m‘ tlmln.
