THE SGRANTON TRIBUTE SATURDAY M CRNINC, JAjtfUATtT Iti, 1SD7. 10 04"$$ I BY JOSEPH A. Copyright, 1S07, by Josoph A. Altsliolor. PART I. I found It neither ti pleasant nor an easy' task to force my way through the undergrowth which nourished In such thick and tangled fashion, and the Hinarting of my wound, slight though the latter was, for the hall had metely cut the llesh of my wrist, contributed to both my bodily and mental Hiirfeilng. The fulnt Jlashes of summer lightning in the hot June night gave brief and imperfect glimpsei of masses of low, scrubby trees, with Inteilaclng bushes uud briars, and an occasional pool of dirty and decolored water, rimmed in ly the Virginia mud, sticky and yellow, into wlili li I lloundered moie than once. when tho liiendly lightning was not at hand. Then, pulling myself out ugam, I tore my clothes and skin on tlu clumps of bilais that caught me, as 1 blindly plunged forward. Two hours of muli work and, with the feeling of delight that a shlpwieclced sailor must oierlfiicn when he sees n lesculng sail, 1 struck u beaten track. Title, it was not much. ' Meiely u path, where the undei growth had been crushed down, ns it by some veiy heavy weight, in-nb.ibly a tialn of artllleiy, for 1 trod in the luls cut by wheels. Hut It en nbb il im- to advance with much greater sph d uud less danger to my person, aii. I wmilil undoubledly lead me loathe lruin lmilv of the army. A In re rain drop splashed in my fun- mnl then another, anil sodh a tur r ' : lame down. I plodded on, while the rain heat upon me. ()lf to the light 1 heaul the frequent booming of can non. Twku shells came sluleking high n.r me. anil J voiuniarnv uuckcii mill-ad at the noise, for i was not yet an old inoiiuh soldier to cure myself of the habit. My wound hnd now ceased to limn me, but the bittei ness of my li lli-i timis was HUlllcIent toiment. 1 Juil tome up the Peninsula with the Ei eat in my, to obtain my llrst taste of war ottin had 1, like many another Jmiiig xiildler In that gallant body of Men, painted loseate pictures of vle t.ii , pioinotioli, lewarded patilotism li nl n reunited country. With a light In-art I encountered the tolls and dep rivations of the advance. 1 had the en thiiM.isiu of youth, and was daunted by no obstacle. I did not fear the fever bred In the swamps of the Uhicka lmrriiiiy. which cut down our men as If wi win- standing in front of the en imj s artllleiy. I did my share, and twin- my share, of the w oik which tiles a soldier miiio than lighting. I tool: Mi ax and helped to build loads tluough the swamps, and bildges over the swol h n stieains. Then I tugged at the 'wheels of the cannon stuck In the mud, and at night I did picket duty in the lU-iiKe forests, and sometimes, In the darkness, heaid a confcdeiate bullet hiss by me. Hut all the time we weie diet-rnl by the knowledge that we were aduiin lug. We thought of nothing but foiwaid, forwaul, and our lianl- shlps weie foi gotten in the reflection that at each sunset up weie neaier to tin enemy's capital. Tlii- reverse side of tho plctuie had come (illicitly enough, I thought, as I stumbli d Into the miry edge of a small biook that ran across tho path. Tlii prize was almost within our hand. 1 had even seen, one bright morning, the spiles of Richmond glittering In the sunshine and then we were tinned back. For a moment I felt a regiet that I had not been taken prisoner by tin im my In the last battle, when I was cut off from my regiment, Instead of escaping through their lines to struggle among the woods as best I could, in the effott to join the retreat ing army. The gteatness of my antici pation" had made the repulse the more mortlfj ing. The voices of the night repeated tho word, retreat, retreat, retreat. The vi ry shells that sang over my head had but one tune, and it was retreat, ic treat, retreat. The plashing of the rain formed the same sound, and I began to u-pi-ut It to myself as a kind of chorus. At last I saw a light, far ahead and fnint, but very cheerful In the daik ness and rain. I was sure that I had overtaken a portion of our rear guaid, but, as 1 came neaier, I saw that It was a house standing In a small clearing, and the light came fiom one of the windows. There weie no pickets about, X.OOXCKD CI..OS no evidences of encampment, and I knew that our men were nut near. Evidently It was occupied by a family which, more feuiless thun otheis In that region, hnd not taken Itself from this battle ground and gono to Rich mond, or boiuo similar place of se curity. Tiioiigh'it wasuilsky business to linger with-the enemy so close bo blnd, 1 was. tired and hungry, and had lost my way, and 1 determined to hall ' rJ? 2 I u ALTSHELER, them, and get something to eat and iiiuva nf tho nllllV. If I COllld. I WOllt up to the door and knocked lightly on it with the muzzle of my rllle. I re peated the stloke two or three times before a man's voice called out and asked who I was. 1 replied that I was a Union soldier who had been cut off from his command, and wished to ob tain Insinuation that would guide him to the urmy. At first he refused entianco to mo, saying that the Yankees had found their own way into Virginia, and could llnd It out again. 1 replied that I was sick and wound ed, and appealed to the hospitality of lrglnlans, who boasted that they nov el icfused aid to the suffering und unrortunate. This evidently touched his pride, fur he opened the door, held up a lantern In my face und looked closely at me. lie must have been satisfied that I was nut dangerous, for 1 know that I did not look like It, although. I was by no means a pretty llgure. I was wet and bediaggled, but the rain had not washed all the yellow mud off me, and on my uniform there weie still streaks of the blood that had llowed from my wounded wilst. He Invited me to en ter, In a not unkindly tone, and I fol lowed him Into a loom that was fur nished with a fair degree of comfort. lie seemed to be a Virginia farmer of some cultivation, for his language was not bad. in one corner sat a woman of about -10, evidently his wife, who held In her aims a little girl of three or four years, with .beautiful, long yellow curls which at once attracted inv no tice and admiration. My countenance must have expressed these feelings, for both the man and woman softened to ward me, and the latter volunteered to bind up my wrist, while the former stated that some of our troops had passed only an hour befoie. While the woman was putting the bandage on my wiist the man brought me something to eat, though lie said the piovlslons In the house weie scanty, and he had much rather give them to a Confederate than to a Federal soldier. They avowed their Confederate senti ments, and gloiled In them, exulted over our letieat, knew the enemy weie pin suing us), and boasted that our army iikW- I WATCHED THEIR MOVEMEItTS. would be annihilated within a few days. As I was leeching their hospitality, I did not caie to dispute these points with them, but asked why they had re mained In such an unsafe place, when a cannon ball might come crashing tin ougli their house at any time. ' The man replied that he did not like to abandon his home,ns he had now here else to no, and that he did not antici pate any danger. Again 1 did not care to differ with him, and I merely uttered some com pliments about the pretty little girl nnd her beautiful yellow hair, which caused the mother's face to Hush with pride. I warned them to keep the child out of danger, as Hying bullets might bo numerous In that vicinity, hefore long, and the father repeated that theie was nothing to fear. I finished oatlncr the food that they had placed before me, thanked them, kissed the little gill, and followed once more the path of the rett eating army, whose rear guard I overtook In encamp ment not an hour later. The sun shouldeied his golden disk above the horizon the next morning, and Hooded the earth with yellow sun- KLY shine, Tho rain drops dried up, the grass and foliage turned to a deeper green, and tie despondency that 1 had felt during the night passed away be fore the glorious daylight. We lay upon the heights, and the army had tinned ut lust. We faced the enemy once moie, nii(l there, expectant and confident, we awaited his onset, for we knew that ho would come, and we believed that we would heat him back. The army was v? j" wife "iv" " fez v- fc II 1 0JfotiJL&I ffflr.v AT ME. transformed, The men lnughcd and, when discipline allowed, shouted to each uther. Many of the wounded begged the privilege of taking a place In tho ranks, and there was no need for the olllcors to uxluijt the troops, and endeavor to excite their courage. Secure In their position, they had all the aidor. of battle, and awaited with Impatience the coming of tho enemy. My regiment was stationed In the front rank. The privations and bitter feelings of the previous night Were for gotten, and I paid no notice to the trilling wound on my arm, for like the others I was anxious that we should beat the enemy back, and repay him for some of the losses that he had In flicted upon us. Hefore waiting long, we saw Confed- SHE TURNED HER FACE TO orate troops debouehe from some woods about a mile distant. We watched them for a little while, and then, us f had had some experience In scouting, the colonel sent me foiwaid to Join our sklrmlsheis and bring a repoit to him, I advanced among the locks and bushes, until within a few hundred yards of the enemy. I stooped down behind a large lock and watched their movements. Within the edge of the woods I could see the house at which I had stopped dining the previous night, and I won dered if its Inmates had taken me at my woid, and had gone. While I was watching, a shell HeiV over my head, struck the ground near the confederate tioops, and exploded. Di:i'etl came another, and it alighted among them, causing gieat confusion. One man was killed, as I could plainly see, and seveial otheis weie wounded. They withdrew irr haste und much dis order. Some of them came back. I sup posed they weie trying to leeover the body of the dead man, but wondered why they should take so great a llsk for so slight an object, slight, at least In war. and upon the eve of a gieat battle. They were a shining maik for our bat teries, and again the shells came Hy ing towaid them, tearing up the earth around them and cover inn them with dltt. They retreated, hut In a few minutes returned again to be driven back as be fore by the shells. I could not under stand such obstinacy, but, as I had more serious work to do than to dis cover the cause, I continued my re connolssance, and moved off to the right. The confcdeiate tioops remain ed stationary at the edge of the woods, and 1 had plenty of time for my duties. About an hour later I started back to my regiment. On the way I met another of our skirmishers, and told him about the little episode of the Confederate tioops and the shells. PART II. "T can explain that," he replied. "A curious thing happened over there. We captured some prisoners a short while ago, and one of them told us about It A man with his wife and child lived In that house in the- edge of tho clearing. The man persisted in lemalnlng until the last moment, although he saw our troops massed on the hill. He did not get out until the Confederates them selves came, and even then they had to huiry him away. At that time the shells struck, and In the confusion the child disappeared. The tioops, instead of coming back after the body of the dead man, came for her, but they did not Hnd her." I went on and delivered my report to the colonel, but I thought much, on the way, of the child. What would become of her? Doubtless she would be found alter the battle, ridden over by the cavalry, or torn to pieces by a cannon shot. Heavier masses of the enemy now Is sued from the woods, and It was evi dent that the battle was at hand. For some time there had been a lively 111 -Ing, but this was to be the great trial of otiength. The Confederates formed batteries In the woods behind their In fantry, nnd leplled to our Hie. A can non bull struck In the earth about ten feet from me. Another went over my head and killed a man In the rear rank. A mlnle bull broko the colonel's sword sheath. It was getting very uncom fortable. I was willing to fight, but I did not like , waiting, and anxiously watched the dense columns of the en emy who weie moving toward the hill, They came on steadily and at a trot. All our batteries weie turned upon them, and the men were loading and filing as fust as they could. ..hole platoons of the advancing enemy were swept away, but the otheis never paus ed nor hesitated. As I stood with my gun In my hands, my admiration for their courage was unlimited, Many of them were In their shirt sleeves, as 1 have often seen the Georgians and MIs slssipplans light, but they came on a run over the broken ground, and seemed to fear the lain of shot and shell im more than a boy would a snowball. Even In moments of greatest dunger and excitement, the mind often invol untarily dwells upon trifles, and I re member smiling at the itieer appear ance their heads made, bobbing up and down, as they came over the uneven ground. Then I fell to watching individual soldiers, for they were near enough for us to discern their features, whenever the clouds of smoke blew aside. I was particularly attracted by one who was coming straight toward me. The fierce ness of his appearance indicated the soldlerwho loved fighting for lighting's sake. He wore neither coat not waist coat, and his long, blacli hair fell par tially over his half wild fu-.e. He waved his gun above his head, and Joined In the rebel yell which I heard before In thc swamps of the Chlckahomlny. If he wore not shot dow'n on the way, thin man would chaige dliectly upon me. I thought, and perhaps I would die by his hand. Wo were ordered to reserve our fire for closer iiuui ters. I had become fas cinated by the appeal anee of the Con federate who was coming In my direc tion, and though little of the bullets that fell around me. I was watching that soldier. When the command to lire should be given, 1 determined to discharge my gun at him. If he over reached us, I felt sure that ho would kill me. I wondered If ho would be shot down by tho artillery befoie our turn to lire came. Twice I lost sight of him, and thousht that lie was down, but each' time it was merely some smoke WARD THE CONFEDERATE. that had concealed him, and, when It drifted aside, lie was still rushing on at the head of the enemy. Once he stumb led and fell upon his knees, and I was sure that he was shot, but he had slipped on a stone or something else, and In a moment iccovered himself, and came on again. Halls, grape shot and shells tore the ranks around him, but he was untouched and came straight as the lllsht or a hawk to waid me. 1 felt sure that I would have to shoot that man, or he would have my own life, and I deliberated whether to aim at his head or his heart. At length I decided upon the head. A curl of his hliirk hair fell down upon the left side of his forehead, and, I would shoot straight between the end of that curl and into his head. I wondered If my nerves would remain steady, and I could hit so small a maik amid the great noise and confusion. I even held out one aim to see If it shook, but not a muscle quivered. The colonel now gave the prelimin ary command, and I knew that the one to lire would come next. I leveled my gun, and looked for my Confederate. There he was, as betoie, directly oppo site me. The black cuil still hung over his left eye and offeied a fair mark. They had now leached a little pateli of bushes that fringed the base of the slope. 1 sighted at tho black curl, and my hand felt for the trigger while I awaited the older- to lire. An exclamation fiom the man next to me startled me and dlsarianged my aim. From the bushes In front of the charging Confedeintes uoroso a figure very strange to the battle Held. Full Into view came tho long yellow curls and filghtened face of a little girl that I had seen bfoie, I dropped the muz zle of my gun In amazi merit as she stood there between the lines, seared and appealing. She came out of the bushes which hud concealed her, and, running mid way between our lines, and thnse uf the advancing enemy stopped, evidently too much terrified to move arry fur ther. She was dliectly between me and the Confcdeiate soldier with the black curl. In a few moments he would be upon her, I felt a thrill of sympathy for the child alone on the battle Held, HIS LONCJ IiLACK HAIR PELL I'AltTIALLY OViEU HIS HALF WILD FACE. ami at the same time a desire to save her. 1 wonders il what the Confederate would do when he leached her, for I had come to the conclusion that he would not fall unless I .shot him. Woulu he msh on over her? Would he trum ple her Into the dirt, or meiely thrust her uhlde? The child may have cried out with fear, but I euuld not hear her, for tho roar of the battle lllled my ears, and I was watchlni; the wild-looking; Confed erate. A Unlit wind blew the smoke at that point aside, anil I could see dis tinctly. She turned her face toward the Confederate, and a beam of sun llffht fell upon her hair. I glanced up and down our ranks. 1 could see, by the look of apprehension on the faces of our men, that all had noticed her, and the muzzles of many guns had fallen, as mine had. The dark Confederate was almost up on the little one. Evidently he had not perceived her, for the ardor of battle shoie undiminished upon his face, and again he waved his nun over his head, a thins which boldlers never do In n charBC, unless they are much excited, Another step would bring him to her, and at this moment I think that for tho first time he perceived the frightened face and the yellow hair. Tho soldier dropped his gun by his side. The fierceness went out of his countenance, and he stopped. The whole lino stopped with him, and those behind coming upon the wull of their comrades were brought also to a halt, Ho let his Bun fall to the ground, stooped down and took the little girl In his anus. The action could be plain ly seen by both armies. Suddenly, u3 If by a preconcerted order, the artillery and small aims on cither side ceas.'d llrlug. The roar of the battle field was ic placed by a silence that would have been complete had It not been for the gtoans of wounded men, and I knew that thousands of eyes were strained upon tho boldler and tho child. 1 looked at tho man next to me. lie seemed ob livious of the conflict. I looked at our colonel, but he had foi gotten the com mand to lire. The soldier bent his head and kissed tho child, and then lifted her high ovel his shoulder and handed her to the ninti behind lilm. Then we could see her passed lapldly from rank to rank, until In a few moments the frightened face and yellow hair had disappeared 'toward the wood, and she was In safe ty. The soldier seized his gun, uttered the lebel yell, and came on again with line after line chaiglng behind him. Our colonel shouted flic!" and the vol ley blazed from our lilies. At the same moment a hundred cannon from the .summit of the hill poured a torrent of lead and Iron upon the chaiglng bat talions, and the batteries of the enemy leplled. The earth shook ns If In the throes of an earthquake. My ears weie deafened by the uproar, and thick clouds of Moating smoke hid the daik soldier and his companions. dj:si:kvi:.s i:ncoimiaci:mi:kt.
