Company A had ofleti been sent out for thii pt:' pose. For 8o:ji« reason we were selewted again thi* time. The confed­ erates came out of their works at the same time. Our approaches had taken up so tunch of £he space between the two line# that tliejr had but a short ins­ tance to come, and had their line in place before we got on the ground. Of course, our guards were alwavs thrown out far enough to inclose all enr works. Now there was some trouble. We went, up in advance an engineer In charge ot building live trenches came with us and it was fwuttd that the llm of the rebel guards I'overed the ground upon which our t#o trenches were to unite. Their line cilt oft the point of our pro­ posed trenches. We went up |tud formed a line right along with the rebel pickets. Still we were not ad­ vanced far.enough. The confederates were notiRed »f the dilHcnity. The trenches had to be dug that night or else have a fight over the groui>d. 1| we could not do other ise eacli would return to Ills own lines, and then see what the ro*iiit wouhi tie. That would of coin's* taean a stubhorn uiglit Hgiit.

After this wns dA*ie the coined erates!*alleil in their guards, and placed ihem i'»> such position (.bat our work couhlgo on.

"A true History of the charge of the Eight Pennslyvania Oavalry at Oh*n» celloi-aylHe." by I'eirtoek Hney, fofti- erly colonel of Ibe regiment,fern little volume of eeventy-six pages, which will probably attract, a good deal of attention. It has almost become his­ toric that Mnj. Keetian, atwther ofHt*r ot that regiment, was ordered by Gen, Pleasautor. to make the famous charge on Stonewall Jackson's column a deliberate eacriNee of the regiment In order to gain time to prit In posi­ tion artillery gathered from various, sources. That Si:ij. Keennn accepted the order with a smile and promptly made lite charge, though he knew It was riding to almost absolutely Cer­ tain death, and that this chargo was practically all thatsaved Hooker's army. The story Is told by Oen. I'leasanton in hia testimony before the congres­ sional committee on the "conduct of ihe war," and al*o bv him In some other places, though he made one or two reports wherein he la not quit* so gushing. It has also,and this la more unfortunate In eome respect*, pttssed Into poetry, and Maj. Keeuan has .en­ joyed a sort of uanonixation. But comes Gen. Hney'aud say# that, after trying repeatedly but In vain during tlie past twenty years to Indue* Gen. Pleasonton to correct Ills misstate­ ments, he now offers the trim story of the charge, which *eeiti* to be that the 8th Pennsylvnla cavalry, with two other regiments of Cttlvftlry and Martin's feur-gun battery, had been ordered to support Gen. Sickles and had reached his command, when that oUlcer was astounded with intelligence from Get) Howard that his command had given away ami lie m-eded a cavalry regiment to refor« lli»m. Thereupon Sickles ordered to send one of the reglmentt named, and Pleaeauton ordered lluuy to take his regimefit and go to Howard, who. he supposed, was at or near a certain point.

Thesv trench^f were open wjiys rua in suuli % dia^oual luauner post , ft 'hi o i l was t»! i ly a s l iort tWiUta . away. There were f ix of US trtget l tejr , t i ;r«e union and three crtt i fedura>e gt i - irds. ' Instead of standing guard i t was more of an evening's vis i t with them. Another aniustng thing cou- .nected with our ditch occuned. Tiie confederate guard we wore with re­ mained near to the l ine marked lor our trenches. The excavated eartt i had to b" thrown toward them and us, too, as we were with them. It proved that they were just in the place wliTe the luoso dirt would he thrown. Kither t l i* confe«lcrate%aud we must move farther oyer «u t l ie enemy's ground, or be hurled up, or stop the work. Wo sug gested that we intive back. *0! that don't m ike any difference, . You Yanks wil l so"i i have the place any way, 'one of them said, and without bothering their off icers , they and we moved for­ ward far enough to glvf l the men in ihe trenches room lo finish their work, ttoine of the boys who had tobacco shared with the rebel guards. Jack- knives and such things were traded and the s i tuation talked over. So far as ( l ie condit ion of the Vicksburg armies was concerned, t here ivas not much chance to speculate . Ti ie confederate soldiers knew as wel l as we t l i t t i l was ui: ly a quest ion of t ime when they would have te surrender. Consequently thern was not much ground tor discussion. Al­ though actual ly on the same groijml, we did not mix up with t i ie rebels . We were soldiers of opposing armies. Both s ides were armed. An Imaginary l ine passed-betwecn us. They kept on their s ide, we remained »ti ours, i iven when the pickets were moved back this order wat not changed. The imaginary i l l v idiug l ine was, s iFto speak, taken up and carried farther on. in other Win ds as i hey were moved back at our request , the ground over which the union f lag f loated was extended and that under the confederate l lag Ie«sene4. i f at any l ime a confederate had oeeu seen i i | io i» our s ide of the l ine he would have been captured and taken hi as a prisoner of war. Had one of our boys strayed oyer to their s ide the enemy would have promptly disarmed and taken him in­ s ide of the rebel , forts . The various phases 6f war are strange i t /deed. Per­ sonally we had not f l ie least feel ing against the opposite guard*.- As repre­ sentatives of causes at war with each other we were deadly enemies. We cunld smoke, »»«' trade jack knives with them to-night , ami wijeu Io morrow's sun ar<W be engaged in a deadly contest . When my turn came I se lected a good place, wrayaMl my blanket around me, leaving flHNom rades on guard, and thus s lepi lWjtdJ.v with ihe armed rebel guards within ten feet of where 1 lay." , Certainly these l ines record an ex- ceedin"!y interest ing incident, the study of which ought I© ' throw'a new i i i ' i i t on the rpirit of the contest and on the w'ar i tself . Except In a civi l confl ict , and in one based mainly upon sect ional divis ions ot the country, sucl i a t i l ing would 6e scarcely possible . In ordinary civi l wars.the bitterness of personal enmities is added to the dit- erence of cMU^e^.itnd there could be no Mich <mnmil confidence. But perhaps the most interest ing ' l isclosure which such an Incident makes Is that of the existence--unconsciously, perhaps, to t i ie southern soldiers 11m#iselves , hut none the less actual ly -anti the iuf lu euce also, of a strong undercurrent of fcel i i i» that the war was essential ly one ofpo' l l t lcal->aders,~s» war of par­ t isan ambit ious,--and hot one to st ir the passion* of the nirtsjes of humbler participMits , I t i s quite probable this feel ing had much to do with the subse­ quent abrupt c losing ot host i l i t ies .
