The thousands of comrades who were at St. Louis will always enter­ tain kindly recollection of Gen. Grier, chairman of the local committee. He was constant and tlrelew In his devo­ tion to the onerous duties of his re­ sponsible place. Tbo executive abil­ ity lie has displayed was simply mar­ velous. It Is no small element In the success or failure of so vast an under­ taking as the management of a crowd ef 100,000 people to have such a man at tbo Mot. After the capture of Jones bore, Ga^ by the Union forces, and while we won eaoMnped sear tlsn oMHtuf* two comrades--A. G. Jones and my* self--were set for picket duty In the recently desented works of the enemy. We were posted In the early part of a very dark night, and Instructed te keep a very sharp lookout, where, lookout the best we could, all that we could see was the latensest blackness. To shelter us from the rata we took possession of the quarters so lately va­ cated by the Johnnies--and thus we Passed the night--such a long night and such impenetrable darkness. Morning, 'however slow In coming, oame at last and what a glorious peaceful morning--not a sound along all thai extended line to teatlfy ef war. After fully realising the situation and'Its peaceful stillness, we began to look about us for any Item of Interest Presently onr eyes were greeted by the sight of a monster shell that bad failed to explode. We were boys and ready for nay adventure, benoe took the shell, re~ primed It, and plaoed It In the bottom of one ef the enemy's rifle pits. The fuse failed te Are ft so I asked J to got some coals and bring them, He did so, I threw them Into the pit and our shell exploded. When the shell burst we were standing upon the bank ef that rifle pit, almost looking down upon it. After It had exploded we round ourselves "blown away," The earth we stood upon had been literally lifted and blown rods away, and we had gone with the earth--one east one trest--stripped of our clothes and Mr* rlbly peppered Vlth Georgia gravel. Upon finding that none ef Sherman's noble army, witnesses to this soerte, were killed or badly disabled we eoirid not repress a cheer. We knew the adjutant would soon be around to Inquire as to the firing. We had not long to watt. The post tweo- ty yards south reported It farther north, and when he came to us we said the ssrae, and he never found it out* He also never learned hew near to death and how badly demoralised that picket was by the explosion of a Union shell Intended for the enemy. Neither I nor my comrade ever fooled with any moct untxpledsd shells. D. D. DIKHL. Butler, Io4k^ .•.•a*.- 1 • 11 • .... --- Sherman's Ferafsrs. From an Illustrated article tn the October Century descriptive of march* Ing with Sherman through Georgia and the Carolines, by a participant. Captain Daniel Oakley, we quote as follows; *Ceck-fgbtlng became one of the pastimes of the 'flying column.* Many of the birds were brought In by our foragers. Those found deficient In oourage and skill quickly went to the stew pan, lu company with the modest barn-yerd fowl, but those of redoubtable valor won an honored place and name, and were to be seen riding prondly upon the front seat of an artillery caisson, or carried tender­ ly under the arm of an Infantry sol­ dier. **We were proud of our foragers. They constituted a picked force from each regiment, and ware remarkable for Intelligence, spirit and daring. Before daylight, mounted on horsee captured on the plantations, they were So the saddle and away, covering the country sometimes seven miles In ad­ vance. Although I have said 'In the saddle,' many a forager had nothing better than a bit of carpet and & rope baiter;yet this simplicity of equip­ ment did not abate his power of carry- tug ell bams and sweet potatoes In the face of the enemy. Therforagers were also Important as a sort of ad­ vanced guard, for they formed vlitu* ally a curtain of mounted Infantry screening us from the Inquisitive eyes of parties ef Wheeler's cavalry, with whom thev did not hesitate to engage when St was a question of a rloh plan­ tation, "When compelled to retire they re­ sorted to all the tricks of Infantry sklrmlsherft, and summoned reinforce* ments of foragers from other regl« ments to help drive the 'Jobnnlea1 out. When success crowned tbeir ef­ forts , the plantation was promptly stripped of live stoek and eatables. The natives were accustomed to bury provisions, for they feared their own soldiers quite as much as they did ours. These subterranean stores were read* tly discovered by tbe practiced 'Yan­ kee' eyo. The appearance of tbo ground and a little probing with a ramrod or a bayonet soon decided whether to dig. Teams were Impro­ vised. Carts aud vehicles of all sorts were pressed Into tbe service and loaded with provisions. If any anti­ quated militia uniforms were discov­ ered tbey were promptly donned, and a comical procession escorted tbe val­ uable train of booty to tbo point where the train was expected to biv­ ouac for tbe night. The regimentals of tbe past, even to these of revolu­ tionary times, were often oenspicuoua. "On an occasion whoa our brigade bad tbe advance, several parties of foragers, consolidating themselves, captured the town from the enemy's cavalry and occupied tbe neighboring plantations® Before tbe arrival of tbe mala column hostilities had ceased; order had been restored, and mock ar­ rangements were made to receive the «®f.

' While lying at Rome, Ga^ In 1864, our rations needed a little replenish** ing, and ore of our mess discovered iK ' calf, too big for one to handle, wbldt calf was honored by a gaard of tw€ soldless. It .was a rule of our meal that any one discovering such a "And* most report It at mess, and this wa| . accordingly reported, and our mess def' termlnod. in spite of the guard, t# raise that calf. Old Pink led tbo party. lt was l< tbe eastern part Of tbo Tllti|« and tbo Inclosure In which the oalf waaeoal lined was surrounded by a pleket fsnoei- A few plokets were taken oil very qui-* etly and then tbe fan began.

He would not see, nor lnd| nor pass out through that bole In thai fenoe, notwithstanding we drove bias ^ back and forth like a weaver's sksttta f. time and time agata. At last Old Kit ^ (a brother of our leader) out of all pai , ^ tleaoe determined to try foroe; an4 grabbing at the calf's neck and miss* "\'/« Ing by a couple of feet, grasped him ; around the body. wbereupon the crea- ture began to run with nil bla might, • J Old Kit ollnglng the tighter.

Never was there a qoieter plaoe than that oemp at that hour> It v was poetically quiet. Every soldier was asleep, save the two they werer bunting for aad didn't find.
