Jones was directed to retire » short distance to a cross roads, oi path and there to stand fast. This path was about one thous­ and yards from the cribs and huts. Others were deployed to support Jones and the skirmishing hecamu intensely hot. There was, at this time, skir­ mishing in the timber" to <he right and rear of our position. The Kill New Hampshire and 2d Illinois .were bracing up against a hot fusila:le. The 3d Maryland actod as a sort of body guard to the4th Artillery, which, by the way was a useless burden on ac­ count of brush aud timber. Davis now formed the 6th and 3d Massachu­ setts about one hundred yards from and in rear of the cribs, the Illinois cavalry facing right, New Hampshire left, the Mary lauds in rear to cover the useless gnus. Jones bad to this time maintained his ground manfully, but the sacrifice was fearful. He was now ordered to bring his command in with as much show of confusion as possible. At the same instant the cribs were fired and they were almost inscautly wreathed in flames. A musket bal] pierced Jones'skull land he fell dead. More than half of his men were struck, For a moment tlierej was a lull broken only by the roaring jfiaiues. We could distinctly hear the febel general giv­ ing hiscommand-', and - he did not a little curbing. By (iolumn of of 4's the Confederates, at a ijriskgallop dashed between the burning cribs. We waited to receive ttyem but one hun­ dred yards away, tt'hey saw us and deployed right and left in utmost con­ fusion. The motucituiii of their col- uimi was great, and tiiey wedged and rlogged in every conceivable way-- they were literallr roasting alive. The true sltuatioi* beggars dnccrip» tloi.. Our bugl« blasts pealed clear and distinct abote the din, and the carbines were brought to bear upon the writhing eiemy. They rained .dealh with appalling accuracy. 1 could not fire a shot; it seemed like murder and everf instinct of iuy na­ ture revolted Igalnst the thought. The lebs withdrAv as best they could. Davis ordered t charge which was executed in hamfome style, and the rcbs were swepttway. In this charge nij qwn regime it was more or less broken up into sAiuds, because of the many fences andhedges. I was riding with a squad tha.had become detached from the main b«iy of the regiment when a captain ai my side suddenly stopped and took-a prisoner. I. think­ ing the ofllcer w« struck, glanced back over mv shouldn't and in doiiig so, saw some twenty liotfes and mules saddled and iu line just <ier the hedge. For cause unaccountiide to me my horse stopped. (By tie way the horse was a strange one be&nging to the Negro cook--1 gave mxpwn horse a rest thar day.) There wfej a line of Confeder­ ates lying on tlitground at the roots of the hedge, tire was an emergency sua thoughts iv|( through wjr cranium with lightning velocity. Of course there was apparently no show for me as just then I was alone. I expected lo die and that speedily. But, if die I must. I preferred tb fa<-e the music rather iban take twenty bullets In my back. Feigning Ignorance of my peril, I faced the hedge and backed my horse rapidly back to gain distance. 1 succeeded in halt lug six comrades and «iuick!v rallied them at my right linud. 1 bad gained a distance of about four rods from the hedge. The Confederates anticipating me suddenly arose. I had just time to caution the boys not to fire till the word Was given when all but one of the rebs leveled their rifles on ine. That was a brief few second? that even to this .day have a lively place In memory. «• They fired. The soldier next to mo fell. My horse went down^. |ny right ear was clipped and my right- cheek erased; my canteen shot away; one saber strap to thy belt tut op. and my saber shot into by an iron ball tired from a Mississippi rifle. I mounted another horse, led my trusty boys a little way along theroad to a rail gap In the hedge. This our horses jumped. The green Confederates, having re­ loaded their rifles again • delivered their fire, this time disabling one of our horses. We drew sabeis and fixed matters up in less than two minutes. Nevins O.

During the Atlanta campaign a, young woman, whose residence fell within the Union lines, remarked to one of our officers that it was not fair to fight the Southern soldiers on end --that is, iu flank--and went on to say that the day before General Bragg had formed "ttro streaks of fight' in their cow-yard with "walking m'diers? and General Wheeler formed "one streak 0/fight" with "critter soldier*" (mean­ ing cavalry) behind the house, but that Joe Hooker had come up mid flanked Bragg ami made him fallbaek, which lie did In such a hurry that he "upset dad's ash-hooper plant," which cost two dollars and fifty cents in (Slocum's) were visible, aud Le£ wns* under the Impression the greater part of my army was on the ground, and deemed It prudent to wait the rest of his, as you quote from his report.* Wlwrs Is he Now? ;, Orion P. Howe, drummer boy off the Filty-fifth Illinois, was appointed to fill a vacancy in the Naval Schorjl at. Newport. R, •I., on the recommenda­ tion of General Sherman, In a letter to Secretary Stanton he relate i the following Incident, which secured the boyrs promotion: "When the assault at Vtcfcsbwrg was at Its height on the 19th of May, as I was Iu front near the road which formed my llnte of attack, this young lad came up to ine wounded land bleed­ ing, with a good, healthy boys shont: 'General Sherman, send some cart­ ridges to Colonel Mnlmborg; the men are nearly all out.' -What is the mat­ ter, my boy?' *They shot me In the leg. sir, but 1 can go to the hospital.-^ Send the cartridges right away.' Even where he stood the shot fell thick, and I told lilm to go to the reat at ouce, I would attend to the cartridges, aud of! he limped. Just before lie disappeared on the hill, he turned and called out as loud as he>could: 'Calibre, 54.' "What arrested my attention there was. and what revives my memory of the fact now Is, that one so voting, carrying a musket ball through his leg, should have found his way to ine 011 that fatal spot, aud delivered hi* mes­ sage, not forgetting the very Im­ portant part,even, of the calibre of the uiusket, 54 which you know Is an un­ usual one.'* • *" "*»»>!•» o» Pres- •ixMt'im •I'tMrV***.!". 4S.M* ANL.

The Dattle of Gettysburg--^What Oen. fcwell wished to do. A letter has been published, wrltjten by Gen. George G. Me ail in 1876, in regard to the battle of Gettysburg, In which he relates the following, which he claims is a "historical fact:"-- "Lieut-Gen. Ewell. iu a conversation held with me shortly after the war* a-ked what would have been the effect if at 4 p. m. on the first he had occupied Gulp's Hill and established his batter­ ies on it. I told him that in the then condition of the eleventh and First Corps, with their morale affected by their withdrawal to Cemetery Ridge with tlio loss of over half their num­ bers In killed, wounded and missing (of the 6.000 prisoners we lost on the field, nearly all came^from these corps 011 the first day.) his occupation of Gulp's HIJI, with batteries command­ ing the whole of the Cemetery Ridge, would have.produced the evacuation of that ridge and the withdrawal of the trooys by the Baltimore pike and Tarrvtown and Emmittsburg roads.-- He then informed mc that at 4. p. m. on tlia 1st, he iiad his corps, 20,000 strong, in column of attack and on the point of moving on Gulp's Hill, which lie saw was unoccupied and command­ ed Cemetery Ridge, when he. reoeived an order from General . Lee diresting hi 111 to assume the defensive and not to advance: that he sent to Gen. Lee urging to be permitted to advance with his reserves, but the reply wtu» a reiteration of the previous order, To my inquiry why Lee had restrained llliu, he said our troops pooling up would not exceed one-ten Hi ot o-ie per­ cent, but the Herald keeps on lying all the same about the "Arrears Act," . There are'probably not less than 1,000,000 men yet living' wfio Sirred honorably' in the Union army during the war of the rebellion. One million ballots when voting time comes will count, and the soldier element can .dic­ tate legislation it it will act unitedly. 1'hen pass the word along the line: Dress on the colors and forward! Elect uoue but friend* to office. Congress ought to appropriate a reasonable suui of money to aid in establishing a Disabled Veteran's sol­ dier's Home Iu California. The Em­ pire State of the West numbers among its citizens soldiers from almost every state in the Union who served under the Old Flag I11 Mexico and during the war of tiie rebellion, ar.d the Home projected should therefore receive National aid. We aik our law-makers to grant It without delay. J9*It isn't safe to fool with a girl by the name of Mazelrig^, particularly if her lips are red and her eyes are bright. An old widower by the name of Newman, st Peru, Jud„ tried it not' long ago. He hugged her one night and "sipped the nectar from her ripe red IIp8"--then he quit and went home The Hazelrigg girl asked him why he didn't come and do it some more, aud as he couldn't give a satisfactory an­ swer. she gave him his choice between a wedding or a breach of promise suit. He concluded he would stand the law suit aud the jury disagreed, but New­ man said he'd as soon give the monej' to the girl as to the lawyers, and will probsbly compromise. t&"If any persou making a will Is on the lookout for ceuple of good ad­ ministrators who will look after his estate when he dies, divide his proper­ ty fairly among his heirs, account for every dollar of it honestly, aud send In a bill promptly after the business Is completed, we can recommend him to the men who have just completed a job of this kind for the late W. S. Obrien of San Francisco. He was worth *10, 674,000at hi? death, ascordlng to the inventory of the two administrators who divided the meuey among the heirs, and then sent iu bills for J126.- 264 eaoh. They are out of a ^ob now. if any one wants their services. IQP'A mau walked into a physician's office In Grand Rapids, Mich., a few days ago, and in a free and easy man­ ner picked up from the table what he conceived to be a tooth pick, and began to use it, Presently he pricked bis tongue, aud a consequent exclamation called the doctors attentiou to what was going on. The supposed tooth­ pick was in reality a vacciuo poiut, and despite th« prompt application Ot various pre tentative* it "look." Proceeding, ot Rxsentivs CsmraiUM ot McHenry OosMyAgritalt nsl Board. The Executive Committee of tbs McHenry County Agricultural Boar# held a meeting al the Court Monday afternoon, February President Richards presiding. calling the meeting to order the Ident read the following address: Gentlemen of the Exectstlxe Onqnsmitte& . of the McHenry County Jffrietdtural | Board: ; >s| We have met to prepare the wa^ tor <| the coming faieof !8f&. This i* tfc* .4$ third year the people ef MeHennr $gj 1 Connty have generously made me ^ | their presiding officer, and tbts is the | I thirtieth year that I have cheerfully tried to do my humble part in placing1 M McHenry County In the front rank ^ among the Counties of our grand §j prairie State. The fair of 1882 Is al- | ready, in my view, an assured success, ^ The interest manifested last year I* ;|| not ilormant but continually lucre as- |j ing in intensity, and I have no hes- | itaitev in predicting far the largest .5! attendance lor 1883 than ever before ^ known. I hope the people at JfcHenry ?| County In every department of iudo&- m trv will show, by their Skill and hattd* § Iwork, that tbfey are equal to tho great occas'on. There Is no lewwSl why Walworth Co.. In the natter of ^ receipts, should so far exceed onrs. , # Let us then, citizens of MoBettry 1 County, east aside all local Jealousies, ^ if any exist, and put our heads and heart3 together for a united fair for £j| 1882 worthy our entire county. Gen- ^ •tlemen. the rules and premiom list* ^ deirand your careful attention. We > have been many years In making them what they are; hence, I advise caution and deliberation in revising the same; p it Is always easier to tear down thai* fl to build up. 1 need not remind you i that our best men and women should ^ be selected as our awarding commit- =«|i tees. 1 think our necessary repairs will be much less than for the past two vears. hence I feel like asking, || vou to have Agricultural Hall paintodF ^ before unfiling the next fatr. The | citizens of Woodstock deserve worthy mention for the interest manifested -• and taste displayed lust year. aud. in J saying this, 1 cast no reflections upon the hosts or others from nearly all J| parts of the county who nobly came* «^ to the rescue. Our people showed a degree of perseverence under ilitttcul- ties last fall worthy ot all pr dse. for all were bound to see the last race and balloon ascension. Having thus seeik | the endurance aud grit of onr people 3 tested, I know the fair of 1882. under ^ Its present management, will be a if btilliaut success.
