Fought September 19th and 20th, 1S63. It was on the morning of September 19, 1863, ami we were ordered to ad­ vance our lines. We received a very warm reception by the " Johnnies" and the battle raged with unabated fury, during tlie whole of thal'ever to be remembered day. I was the only man in the Twenty-fifth that w&s armed with a Henry rifle, a sixteen shooter, and during the day I fired 371 rounds out of it. On Saturday, the first day of the battle, our division suite red ter­ ribly along the flrst part of the night. I was sitting cleaning out my gun, for I lind still about my person the same number of loads I had fired during the day; 1 had bcco-ne somewhat aceii"- tomed to the dangerous incidents of hard fought battles, lor mind you this was not my flrst experience by any means; yet you all know tjie feelings of tl.e soldier after the noise and din of battle has somen hat subsided, and lie gets a charjce to collect his thought* together ind to turn them to and on more pleasant meditations, generally toward loved ones at home: but at this particular time I was feelirg pretty good. 1 had been lucky enough to come out whole, in tact 1 had never received a scratch from an enemy's gun vet, but just aj--I had mnde everything ready for tr^^pbrrow's work and in the act of lying do« II to seek what rest 1 could in front of the enemies' lines, for we laid on our arms during the night, one ol my companion;: came op to me and I * frm n t IW, %u Ofc^tii h*. BARTHOLOMEW PECK AM. DEAR BOB.--I well remember the time my friend Denmore Introduced me to Mr. Pegrarn. I remember It so d'stinjtly chiefly owing to the manner in which Mr. Peg ram made acknowl­ edgment of our acquaintance. He was sitting on a high stool. "Mr. Pegram,"' said Denmore,' I'll make you acquaint­ ed with'my friend, Mr. Dresser." Mr. Pegram, In his haste to get trnm the stool and grasp me cordially by the hand, in some way caught his foot in the round* and fell sprawling to the floor, so exciting the dog ad to cause the nulmal to make a quick snap at him. "0,1 ain't a rat, you dog! I'm too tough to chew, I aiy. Say, ain't 1, Denmore?" Thus spoke Mr. Pegram. partly to the dog, partly to my friend. Mr. Denmore replied that he had never given the matter much thought, and would not care to hazard ah opiniou, as It would be liable to be incorrect. Mr. Pegram got up and grasped me by the hand, shaking my arm like a pump handle, while lie talked. Said lie: "You know I wauted to shake hands with you. Denmore knows I did. I am very glad to make your acquaintance. If you do not object to being seen lu my company, we.'ll take a walk. I want to buy a pie, I do. Don't 1, Denmore?" Mr. Denmore replied in the affirmative and then we left him, walking In the direction of the nearest bakery. '"Do you know," began Mr. Pegram, "1 sou.etlmes think horses should be !j|ed on pie. 'Why,' says you? O, says li to keep 'em fioin getting piebald. r<ia .'s a joke!" llere lie chuckled, ar.d seemed to expect me to do the same, but ifry smile was not not very congen­ ial, or lasting. "Ye6, sir," lie resumed, "l'ies are the staff ol life. A friend «ays to me 'have a drink?' Thank you, says I, I'll have pie instead, if you please. 1 remember my old Aunt Winket; she was a queer old body,.and she used to make pies iti all shapes out of turnips, clover t«pk, horse-radish, W'l I>f SLO-W S ^"Vineyard"|RollerjSkates. °'W For the best, most durable and easiest run- Kollcr skates get the ••VINEYARD." the principal Rinks are using the ViNEYAKD" Roller.

Or course the idea of losing it had never occurred t » me, and at .the time the request was made I felt as well as 1 ever did In my life. 1 was never given to Mipemltious notions in any way; but the thoug'it struck ine at once tnat I should either be killed or wounried on that day. On the morning of September 20th, Davis' Division took a posl-lon a lime In advance of otir last stand on the even­ ing previous, and on a line that had been occupied Iv troips that had thrown up temporary works of logs and brush. The enemy immediately advnijcd their lines In solid, compact order and about eight flies deep, with arms at trail. The Hue in the immedi­ ate front of our division,was led by an otlker, on a black horse, who rode in front of his lines and kept them weU tslosed up, I could see that as fast as gi.e dropped out the gap was immedi­ ately closed up, and ns soon as we had received ord< rs 10 open Are on them 1 turned tny ' Henry rifle" on that ytticer and filed two shota directly at bin#. So eager did I become to un*horsc him that I failed to guard my own person, and just as 1 raised my gun to fire at him the t lird time, t received a ball through my left ,.$rm between the shoulder an$ elbtfW. The gun dropped out cf my tWhds; but the officer was still elicouraglng his men. 1 soon be­ came stupified from loss of blood, and our men were foried to fall "back from that withering etoruv of lead and hail our enemies hurled at us. I did not want to lose my precious gun, and so I slipped tnv arm through the strap nnd moved to the rear as fast as my condi­ tion «*)uld allow me, and right here, let me say, was where my imagination played havoc with my nervous system, for I could feel the ball enter my left side which would give me a lurch to the right, a*id then vice versa I imag­ ined. . -• . .-v * 1 received no leftf than ihr« balls In my back as I was retreating; but none had touched me but the one before Ii had started to fall back. I had gone perhaps fifty yatds when a lieutenant of my eompauy came running up to me and said, Clark, ^»ou are badly wounded give me your gun. He took It and immediatclj' leveled it o i the advano ing lines of the enemy but the poor fellow was killed right there,and 1 lost my gun. Soon after this I sank down Irotn pure exhaustion and loss oi blood and my wound had become very pain­ ful. A couple of Ohio boys came to me and picked me up and started to the rear. They had not gone far until one of them received a mortal wound, and I was again left in a helpless manner, when one of my own company came up and assisted me to the ambulance. This is as f ir as my owtj, personal ob­ servation went in thf battle of Chicka- co^fe^ Jor some t i m e . | f v The Fish Law. As several responsible and law-abi4> Ing citizens have signified their inte#> tion of prosecuting to the fulleil extent of the law any personor persons catching fish contrary to the laws of the State ot Illinois,we hereby pubillftr the law in relition thereto. SECTION!. [WHEN UNLAWFUL IT* CATCH WITH PEINE NET ETC.] Be it en­ acted by (he People of the State of Hit- ?i°'# represented in the General Assent- bly. That it shall be unlawtul for aujr person or persons to catch or kill anjr tisli of the species comminly called* black, green, sliver or white bass, plk«. pickerel, salmon, land lock salmon, jatfk salmon, croppy or grass bass, sun fi?ti or sun perch, or other fi«h commonly known as game fish in or upon any of the rivers, creeks, streams,ponds, lakes, sloughs, bayous or other water courses wholly wtihin or runnin ; through tit* State of Illinois, with any seine, net, weir, or other device, other that; w tta hook tnd line, from the fifteenth day of February to the fifteenth day of June, in each and every year. § 1.

She 1 ked varety, she <1 i. 1 Denmore knows it, too." 1 doubted, some whit, that Denmore" was conversant with the Aunt's eccen­ tric tendencies, but merely made some trivial remark In reply. We reached llie bakery and Mr. Pegram called for an k,un8tintf d apple pie, with all the cider In it." When it wa6 handed him he • lie red the baker a much worn jick* knife in payment--an offer that was promptly rejected. But he bad re­ course to borrow it from me. saying he had *'a lot of money at home In a stock Ing, but had unfortunately forgotten to provide himself," and whenever 1 afterwards met him he would make casual meutioif of that stocking, never failing to, remipst the loan of a quar­ ter. ^ . is. Cutting the pie into halves, Mr. gram oflered me one of them, at the same time biting Into the other por­ tion. 1 declined, and fi.:dlug he could not move mc, he put my h df Into his pocket, and we resumed our walk upon the str et. 1 was not particularly pleased to walk along at his side as he munched away at the pie, but I did not allow it to appear so. He suddenly broke the silence by asking: "Say, do ycu think it pays a man to marry? I really want your opinion." 1 replied without tbe least hesitancy, "Certain­ ly, provid* d he loves tbe woman to whom he is united." Mr. Pegram an swered excitedly: "But he don't love her! He throws the tongs at ber, and save b'gosh he'll knock her ear off witb the shovel! Says he'll burn lier toes ofl.lie does! Denmore knows It. We have spoke »bout it often!" I was completely mystified as to who he might be, and I asked for an explaua tion. Mr. Pegram took another mouth­ ful of pie, and in attempting to speak choked so badly as to get blue in ttie face. Just as 1 was about to summon a physician he recovered and spluttered out: "I'm a fool, I am! I ought to have known you couldn't know who I meant. I mean't Sam Parker, and his wife, too."
