The story of the disaster to Sickles’ corps at Gettysburg known to all who are familiar with that battle fieneral lancock spared what troops he could from Cemetery Ridge to sup- | port Sickles, While he was out #treggthening the line on the flank and reat Sickles he saw a brigade of Wilcox's Confederates dashing for. ward upon a Federal battery. The “irst Minnesota stood behind the guns, | the ofly troops in sight. Pointing to he irging column, he said to the leader of the Minnesotans, “Colonel | Dolville, advance and take those col prs!” The red battleflags of the enemy more clearly distinguished hrough the smoke than the ranks of | he men who bore them. ] A thousand muskets on the Confed- | rate reserve swept the fleld to clear | he way for Wilcox's advance.

At the siege of Petersburg, in midwinter, even the head quarters cow had been consumed for beef, and the hens carried along to supply eggs were starved into barrenness., One morning as the chief and his staff sat down to thelr usual cobmenl mush and molasses, with rye coffee, a guest from the firing line began to bewall the terrible situation of the army. Everything was black. “Why,” sald he, “General Lee's spies are all around us. He even knows what you have every morning for breakfast.” *““I'hat can’t be or he'd send us something better,” sald the grim soldier with a mischievous smile, When Captain Semmes found himself loose on the wave with his brand new English bullt cruiser Alabama, he lald his course for Galveston. One day just at nightfall he fell in with the United States ironclad gunboat Hatteras, and they ex- changed the usual grectings, Semmes claiming that his ship was the British steamer Petrel, Captain Blake of the Hatteras announced that he would send off a boat, and suddenly a trum- pet spoke from the deck of the stranger, saying, “This is the Confederate steamer Alabama.” A broadside from the batteries of the cruiser came a8 a punctuation of the startling avowal.
