Jackson's Presence of Mlad- Since the unvailing of Stonewall Jackson's statue, this story about the ^confederate general has come to light. ;On one rainy day, while advancing on Bull Run, he started out to reconnoiter Jn person, and got caught on the wrong Bide of a bridge guarded by a field piece and some federal artillerymen. When he discovered this, Jackson did not hesitate a moment. Galloping up behind the men he shouted to the officer in command: "Who directed you to put that gun on that roof? Take it away and mount it in the woods on the hill yonder I never saw such a piece of folly. Here in the open ground your men will be shot down from the bush on the other side." On he went as though in a terrible passion, be­ rating the officer, who colored, saluted, apologized, and hastily gave the order for removing the gun. Jackson, with his staff at his heels, galloped off to the left as though to pass down the stream, made a sudden turn, thundered across the bridge and escaped. The befuddled officer in command of the gun had not gone far when he suspected something wrong, but he did not discover who the stranger was until the next day .--Inde­ pendent. ,, '\"V contest began and eleven at its conclu sion, to young to remember much as to its cause or character; during his school days the histories, of course, had little or no information concerning the great struggle thai just ended, and while through his studies he became familiar with the wars of other times and people, and with the story of our own revolution­ ary and Mexican wars, he must regret­ fully confess practical ignorance as to the later and larger combat. Just here the Grand Army of the Republic hew had a missfon. By the force of its numbers, its public gatherings, its camp fires and mere especially through the tender service of Memorial Day, it has awakened the interest of the people, particularly of the generation growing to manhood and womanhood, enlarged their channels of information land stimulated loyal sen­ timent. _____ OLOVXB'T BEIGAJUL Oae VlaaiOB of the Grand ArtMF>. A short time before the proceedings in­ cident to the last memorial day, a vet­ eran of the war chanced to meet a friend, an intelligent yonng business man of 38 years of age, says a writer in the New England Magazine. Speaking of the coming ceremonies, the young man re­ marked that he was to a large degree ignorant as to the events of the late war: he mm bufceev** ypw «£ a«« wiwtt we. assume tljat Death of Ita leader, the Famous Colonel John M. Glover. QCINCY, III., NOV. 13.--Special Corre­ spondence to the Inter Ocean.--As an­ nounced in the dispatches of Tuesday, the "boys" of Glover's famous brigade mourn the loss of their gallant leader. Thename of John M. Glover is of National reputa­ tion. No braver man ever rode at the head of a Union regiment in the civil war. The men who followed the stare and stripes under his command, live in the States of Illinois, Missouri and Iowa, and for this reason the Inter Ocean corre­ spondent has obtained from friends and relatives a sketch of the Colonel's life, which mayJ>e read with interest, not only by the survivors of his brigade, but also by those with whom he came in contact during his career as a warrior and a statesman. Colonel John M. Glover was born near Harrodsburg, Ely., in 1819. In 1828 his father moved to Knox County, Mo. He was educated at the old Masonic College iu Philadelphia, and in 1850 went to San Francisco, where he began the practice of law. He returned to Missouri three years later. Before the war Glover was a can­ didate for the Legislature on the Whig ticket, but was defeated. When the war broke out he raised the Third Missouri Cavalry, which was composed largely however, of soldiers from this city and neighboring towns in Illinois. They all registered at Palmyra, Mo., under the Missouri Cavalry. Glover's Brigade was composee of the Third Missouri, Second Iowa and Six­ teenth Illinois Regiments of Cavalry. Innumerable stories are told of his un­ daunted spirit and personal fearlessness in the presence of danger. When he first stumped his district for Congress he was warned that he would be prevented from speaking at Kirksville, and was told that his life would be in danger if heattempted it. "I shall speak there," he coolly re­ plied. He went to Kirksville and when he ascended the platform he drew from his pockets two huge revolvers and placed them on the stand before him. Then he fired hot shot into the audience for two hours, but was unmolested. At Waterloo, Mo., just after the war, he was told that if he attempted to speak he would be pulled from the plat­ form. But he made his speech with his two faithful pistols by his side, and no trouble was offered. His physical puwer was wonderful. One day he had trouble with a fractious mule, and the animal tried to bite him. The Colonel struck the mule in the head with his clenched fist, felling it to the ground and killing it al­ most instantly.. Colonel Glover came of a race of sol­ diers. His father fought in the war of 1812, and was in the charge when Tecum- seh was killed His grandfather fought in the Revolution under Washington. Col. Glover was a warm friend of Col. Frisbie MeCulloCh, the Confederate officer who was killed at Kirksville by McNeal. They had been brought up together, and had been inseparable friends until the war broke out when they took different sides in the great unpleasantness. During his Congressional career he de­ voted much of his time to the treasury cases, and during the investigation no name appeared more prominently than his- The Colonel was almost considered a Quincy citizen, as he came over very fre­ quently from his large estates in Missouri and has resided here months at a time. The Colonel took great pride in his farm, which comprised 1,000 acres, and over which he enjoyed a personal supervision. The soldiers m this vicinity who fought with him, and they are many, feel his death as keenly as though they had lost a near relative, or a warm, personal friend. _____ '-Many of Them Hover Saw B Battle." "Many of them never saw a battle," continually reiterate the pension haters when speaking of the pension list. In the first place the number of men who never saw a battle is grossly exagger­ ated. There never was an army put in the field where the fighting was so well distributed among all the men, as in the Union army during the war of the rebel­ lion. The extent to which practically everybody was brought into action at one time or another, and the amount of fighting which the men did as a body, are unprecedented in European history. In all there were over 2,000 morfc or less se­ vere engagements, and many" of these were the bloodiest in military history. If men in the Union army, this would a battle for every 1,000 men. In the next place if there we which never saw a battle, whose was it? Certainly not of the men. llip enlisted to do their duly and go where ordered. If they did not get into a fight it was simply the fortune of war. They were to fight if called upon, mid there is not any instance of any regiment failing to go into action and do its whole duty when called upon. We have repeatedly published statistics showing that some of the most determined fighting and the most terrible losses of the war were by the regiments which went out late, qHf happened to be hurried directly from the camps in which they were organized to the very front. When there they allowed no regiment to surpass them in gallantry and determination. Lastly, everyone knows that the great- est death loss in any army is not by Hie bullets of the enemy, but the sickness which results from the hardships and ex­ posures of camp life. No regiment in the Union army escaped these. Every regi­ ment was virtually in the presence of Hie enemy, and whether it was actually en­ gaged it was forced to make long and toilsome marches, to stand weary vigils in all sorts of weather, to endure the anxieties and hardships of being in the presence of the enemy, and be subjected to influences of a hostile climate and dis­ ease breeding conditions. A conspicuous example of this is the 9th Connecticut, which was sent to Louisiana, where it was constantly on duty, constantly in the presence of the enemy, constantly ready to fight, and to do its duty on the battlefield as well as Connecticut regi­ ments always did, and yet it only lost 10 men by the bullets of the enemy, while 243 of its members lost their lives by the poison of the' malarious lowlands fn which the regiment was kept.---jVatioax/ Tribune. The Soldier*' Hohility. The world-famous raconteur, Thomas P. Ochiltree, is never at a loss to adorn an otherwise common-place conversation with a story of thrilling adventure, nar­ row escape or humorous incident, Re­ cently at the Hoffman house a number ot men were telling of narrow escapes, what the Colonel told of a close place lie got into as follows: "Gentlemen, I was with*Gen. Dick Tay­ lor, when he operated against General Banks in the trrmn Minninnippi (hup urt ment. It was shortly after ^ twltle of Pleasant Hill, and Hanks was retreating to Grand Ecore. One day we got near Gen. Banks army, and General Taylor asked me to head a squadron of cavalry and charge. I was mounted on a coal black horse, and when I rode out to take command of the squadron I never thought to come back from the charge alive. We had to charge across an open field a distance of one and one-half miles. I drew my sword, put spurs to my horse's sides and dashed forward, ordering the cavalry to follow. Some twenty thous­ and of Banks' infantry were drawn up in line just on the edge of the field awaiting an attack. Of course when I started I did not know that twenty thousand men were waiting to give a warm welcome to a handful of cavalry. When within three hundred yards of the Federals I raised in ' my stirrups and yelled to the squadron to follow me. I expected to hear each cavalryman yell, but to my dismay all was silent. I turned my head to look, when, horror upon horror I the squadron was over a mile from me in a swift re­ treat ! I bad been riding across the field alone, thinking they were right behind me. They had evidently seen the thous­ ands waiting to pour a storm of shot in­ to us and had retreated, but I did not see them as I am near sighted. Of course I saw them when I yelled- A gleam of bayonets extended formileeright in front of me. My horse trembled. I held my breath expecting to be mowed down in a second. Turning my horse I rode leisure- ly back and not a shot was fired at me. My horse died of nervous prostration half an hour after I got back. Why didn't the Federal army fire on me? I learned afterward that they were ordered to fire, bat no soldier was pusillanimous enough to shoot one man who had the courage to charge twenty thousand men. Gentlemen, 1 believe in human nature and the nobility of the volunteer soldier since that event."--Boston Herald. tlti ; s&psfflG '.V5" ' it Who sells goods the cheapest?
