Ministers were a trifle scarce in a Grand Army of the Republic Post up tho creek, of which Wlleox was a member, and he was elected Chaplain. His chief duty was to open the meet- logs with prayer, and never having set himself up as *a praying man, the prayer was printed on a card so he oould get through wltit It with less mental eflort. Wilcox oarrled the oard around In bis pocket along with his tobacco and things, and when he came to use It for the first time the printing was ^considerably obicured. After the meeting hadjbeen called to order, Capt. Wilcox stepped to the freut, took out his card and began to scrutinlze.lt closely. lie regarded It carefully for a moineut and then be­ gan to read, deciphering the printing with mucti difficulty. "O, Lord,1 he began, holding the card so as to get the best possible light oa it, M0 Lord, we"--then stopping to spell out a dim word--"we thank thee for Thy"--an­ other halt--"for thy--dammit, boys, 1 can't road It!" Wag Ho Really Shot. On the 2d day of March, 1866, while tho Seventeenth Corps was encamped near Black Creek, d. C., a dreary, drizzly day, an order oame to Gea. Blair to have one of his prisoners tak­ en out and shot lo retaliation for "for­ agers" murdered and mutilated by the Confederate Wheeler or Hampden oav- alry. The carrying out of this order fell to the lot of our provoit marshal, which, to him, proved a-very unpleas­ ant task, as the sequel will show. The prisoners, numbering ever two hundred, were kept near headquarters, surrounded by a guard of Infantry. A new guard-line was formed, inclosing a «pace equal lu size to the one occu­ pied by the prisoners, the nearest point touching the old lino. At this point, aod between two guards the marshal took tils position, took a deep crowned hat In which were placed as many ballots or 6llps of paper as there were prisoners, all blank save one, on which W&B inscribed the word "Death" Tbe bat was kept closed excepting a space sufficiently large to admit the band of each prisoner as he passed to draw therefrom bis doom. When the drawing commenced, everything qui­ eted down to a death-like stillness, and as the roll-call progressed. th« anxiety Increased as much, I thick, with the tew lookers-on as with those directly Interested, for some of them ghowed not the slightest concern, In fact rather seemed to enjoy it--step­ ping briskly forward when their names were called and drawing from the hat the ominous slip which was to deelrie their fate, with anything hut tho solemnity the occasion seemed to de­ serve. When at last tho namo of Mlilr er was reached, a rather tall mani, plainly dressed la homespun, and verg- lug oa 60 years of age, came reluctant­ ly forward and essayed to pass with­ out drawing, but was stopped by tho guard and told what to do; bo thea nervously pat his b*nd In, and getting a ticket raised it nearly oat of the hat, but fearing ho had tho wrong one, dropped It and took another, which, oh bringing to the light proved to be his death-warrant. He was at once placed In charge of a guard and march­ ed off In a kind of dazed condition toward headquarteis, but by the time he reached there he found his tongue, and. with the eloquence of despair, plead and implored that his lire be spared, claiming he had been con­ scripted the day before being cap­ tured ; that he never had and never In­ tended to fire a gun In the service; said bis home was but a few miles back where he had a wife and nine children wholly dependent on bias for their sustenance. His touching appeals for mercy were more than we who were not obliged to hear could stand, aod choking down our emotion we turned silently and sorrowfully to oar quar­ ters, realizing more fully than orsr, how terrible were .the necessities of war. Should this moot Hi* eye of any comrade who witnessed tho dosing scene of this tragedy, woold like to hear from hhn, as tt was whispered about camp that evening that Miller Instead of being executed, was march­ ed out of sight of camp and released.
