In my brii, as I distinctly remember, orders lubcen issued two days before to disooiue standing to arm before dayhgh and when the rebel advance swoopl down upon us tram the Marsamittauoutitain, in the fogs of that October mjing, they found a foe asleep in his can! Why was it we repeatedly asked, r tho final glo rious result of that d.ilhat we could not have had some wabg, somo inti mation of this fearfulj priee ! The story of Bernard Hai ti was first re lated to me by himself W cince, and in it I found a full answto this ques tion, I present it as anportaut con tribution to the history chis, the last battle in the Shenandoah as a good illustration ot tho almost iertible risks which wero constantly it taken by the scouts and spies of thelites. Bernard was a farmer li before the war, and since its closo hei returned to bis home iu Niagara Uy, New York, and recumed his urthabors at patiently and steadily as Idreds of thousands ot others, herein blue, whose name will never be iwn, have done. 1 ; Bernard is no beauty-lve have I'Oen thousands of sleek, shLoldiers, ' with straps and without, whiuld play the pert of military dandyisimuh bet ter than could ho.

He told roe his itorj U own j "" "j preter vo ici uirn speak in the 6rt person, preserving bis( language as neatly as possible. 1 don t know exactly what it was that gavo ueneral Custar so much confi- deuce iu me, I have always thought the Colonel bad something to do with it, tor he used to seud me out every lime with the skirmishers for some reason or other. The Sergeant Major always men tioned my name to the Captain u-til the boys icpeuted tho words for a joke: 'Private Iiartlett and nine men from company C One day, shortly alter Sheridnn took command in the valley, an order same down detailing me for speuial duty at Custai's headquarters. I went, and found th.it I was to be a scout for tho command, to go and come when I pleased, outside or inside tho picket, visit the people of tho country and pick up information whenever I could. It was exacty tho life that suited me, and I went to work with a will, There w.is a kind of freedom in it that pleased mo alter living three years in the ranks, and I don't think General Custar had any rea son to complain that I was not active enough. I was in tho saddle pretty much all the tuno, scouting between the lines, and had some escapes and adven tures which I would like to tell you of some other time. I was veil mounted, armed with a carbine and two revolvers, and sometimes curried an old oiifedc rato unif inn wrapped up in my blue overcoat, strapped to my saddle. Some times I would ride out in the. night, change my iPess, palm myself ott tor a rebel at the planters' house, and learn whatever I could without exciting sus picion. One nrht I fell in with two rebel ivulrymen, at the house situated be- ween the lines. Tho men of tho house ad plenty ot applrj ick, and I stayud with them half the night, worming out f them all they knew about Early army, and pretending to diii.k every mo they did, until they both rolled un uer the table, and then I rode back to our lines, leading off both their horses, eported to tho General, and both tho Johnnies were safe in the hands of our 'rovost Marshal before morning. But think that adventure I had with tho rebels on the morning of tho Cedar Creek fight, and for a week beforo it, a bout an curious as any of them. I think was about tho twelfth of October thut wont out on a scout towards Stras burg. Our army lay at that time, you remember, about three miles this side of tho town, and tho enemy Bomewhere near Woodstock, beyond Fisher's Hill. I went out in tho night, and had two other men along with me something which I did not usually do, but which luckily happened so this time. It was hardly dusk yet when we rode into Strasbnrg, and as we rode down the etreot at a brisk gallop, I saw a boy run out in a hurry from a honse, untie two horses, and lead them around to a shed buck of tho house. I understood tho thing at once, although I did not sup pose that any oi tho rebel scouts would be fool hardy enough to be caught so near our lines infthat shape. But I knew that dozens of the git la in all the valley towns had lovers in Early's army, and my experience showed me that they often ran great hazznrds to visit them sol concluded at once that there were two ot tho Johnnies in that house. I sent one of my comrades around to look after tho horses, left another In charge of ours at the door, and dismounted my self and walked in without knocking. I suppose we undo noise enough to alarm our viotomi, tor as I walked aorosa tho hall I heard a Bhufliing and bustling about, and when I opened the door of the first room, there were only two girls, and handsome ones, too, sitting quietly by the table, knitting stockings. They looked rather frightened though. I took off my can and made one of my awkward bows. 'Excuse me ladies.' I said, 'but I came .lira. .iriA T A. L! goi iwo reuei soiaiers nere. ana 1 mean they shall make Gen. Custar's acquain tanoe. Don't disturb your.-elves in the least 1 11 go and find them.' I took the candle from the table and started for tho door leading into an in ner room, a cocked revolver in my hand. They followed ine, the older of the two insisting that her su.k grandmother was in the room, and that no geutleman would think of searching tt. 'I would'ut be sure I am a gentleman,' I said, 'I'm rnly a private in the New York cavalry. However, thut room must be searched.' I threw open the door and presented the pistol at the bed. 'Come out ot that now,' I said 'or I'll spoil your bed clothes. There's two more of my kind out of doors, and you'll save time and wholo skins by moving quick.' At that they threw off tho covers nnd jumped out two good looking young fellows, drcssstd in bluo, but not another Yankee look about them They acted a little sheepish, laughed and gave up their pistols without any nonsense. I did'nt want to be hard on them, so I gave them three minutes to say their fare wells, am stepped jint outside the door, so as not to see their ki-sing performan ces My ears were open, though, and I must say I heard pistol volleys that were not so loud. However, we mounted them on their horses, and iook them back to Cusiar, leaving the poor girls sobbing at the door. I hope the fellows escaped all the dangers ot the war, and I think I should like an invito to their dwellings. Well, I delivered tho prisoners to CVstar's Provost Marshal He examin ed them thoroughly, buttliry bad no papers, except a ragged pass hich one of them carried iu his boot. It had Ju. bal Earlj's namo at the bottom of it, written in his own hand, and it read something like this : 'Ukadquahtkiis Au.my ok tiir Vai.i.kt,-) Near Charleston, August lo, lHb' l.f All confederate guards and pickets, allow private Drake Dewey, th Ala bama Volunteers, to pass mounted at all hours. Jriur. Eaui.y, General Commanding. The Provost tried to pump them, but they were shrewd euough to hold their tongues, and not a word could he get from them, except that they belonged to tho Alabama Volunteers, and to Early's army. Some of the staff ' gathered around while he was questioning them, and I was standing quite near tho man who carried the pass. The Provost Marshal looked from one to the other of us, and suddenly slapped his leg with a loud exclamation. 'By thunder, here's something queer 1' he said, 'Evans, Newton, Roberts, all of you, come here. Now look at these two add tell me if you ever saw a moro strik- j ing resemblance. They looked at us and fairly shouted with surprise; for five minutes tbey stood looking at us, comparing feature by feature, and each ct them declaring the resemblance was perfect.' 'Well, Johnny, this is queer,' I said, speaking to my donblo as they all said ho was. 'Let us be acquainted. My name is Bernard Barllott. Is yours really Drake Dewey 1 I used to know some Deweys in Alabama years ago.' He said yes; his name was oorrectly given in the pass. That was all I want ed to know, and I chuckled somo over the way I took to be certain cf it. Most likely if I had put tho question abruptly, he would havo refused to tell. That night I lay in my tent and planned a scheme which I had often wanted to ex eoute, and whioh 1 now sa r a good ohance to carry out. Bold and reckless, almost as I had been, I had never been inside the rebel army, although more than once within their pickets. I believe I was not fool hardy, aud had made up my mmd nover to tako a risk unless there was a good ohance to make some thing by it. Up to this time I had nev. r seen a reasonable prospect of my go ng into the lion's den, as you might say, Without being hung for a spy within the rst hour; but now there was a ohance f success wbioh I grasped at oncei the hore promptly, perhaps, because I knew hut our Generals had no reliable infor- batiou nbout reinforcements which it aa supposed Early had received from eesiuoa tno battle ot Winchester. Then I first saw the past with Early's hme on it, something of this kind oo- brred to me, but when afterwards I dis vered the resemblance between the bel and myself, I began to think there as something almost Providential about .... .. .1 , 1 ' . it. To be sure there were grave chan ces to be taken which oould not be guarded against; but after thinking it all over, and weighing everything that could be said, for and against, I found my mind made np to go. What I told tho rebel soout about visiting Alabama was true. I had been there, and knew something about the couutry and th people This knowledge encouraged me very little, for to offer it was the risk of meeting some oue who might have known me there. But I thought a bold face and my experience would carry me through safe; and tbey did, as you shall hoar The next morning I submitted my plan at headquarters, and it was approv ed at once. Mr. Drake Dewey was com pelled to chango clothes with me, much against his will, for he now bo-jau to understand me, and I mounted his horse, and with tho pass and his arms rode away on my adventure. I had tri ed to anticipate everything tint might by any possibility happeu to mo before I found myself within our lines again, and to prepare myself for any emergen cy. It was a m ight, clear morning, and I rode briskly southward, passin" through Sirasburg, where I noticed the two girls sitting by tho window looking sad and lonesome. I rode straight down the pike, without seeing a single horse, man troin either side until within three miles of Woodstock, as near as I could calculate. When somebody called to me to halt, and I discovered half a doz en rtbel cavalry under a shed. I rode toward them, but was stopped again. 'Halt! Who goes there?' 'Dewey,' I answered, thinking it like ly that un advanced party like this would know tho name. 'Yes that's him!' two" or three cried out, and I joined them under the shed. They all seemed to recognize me as Drake Dewey, and gathered around in quiring eagerly for Basconib. I told them that he had fallen into the hands ot tho Yankees, and I had had a narrow escnpu; and showed them a ball hole through the skirt of my jacket which I had made before leaving camp. Then I told them I had important news which must be carried to camp immediately, and two of them volunteered to go with mo. So I found myself known as a rebel soldier, and riding to the rebel camp with rebel comrades. Wo were stopped several times on the way by rebel guards when we had to show our passes, mine proving perfectly satisfactory in every instance. Twice 1 met soldiers who nodded to me with 'How are you Drake!' and the inquiries for Basconib were repeated. I gathered enough along the way to satisfy me that Dewey and Bascomb wore both expert scouts attached to General Early's head quarters, and that both had left Wood stock the morning before with the in ten tion of getting inside the Union lines 'The headquarters are over there on the hill to the left,' said one of my com panions. . 'They were changed last night.' They left me and I rode straight np through the camp to the headquarter tent, dismounted, and asked the orderly to admit mo. 'I am Drake Dewey,' I said, 'one ot the scouts.' He went in side and spoke to the General, and I was immediately u shored into the presence of the 'Bad Old Man,' as they called him He was sitting by the oamp table calcu lating with a penoil and paper. Look ing np he fixed his keen eyo on me aud said : 'You are ono of the two that I saw last night Y 'Yes ! 'Then tell mo everything that has happened to you, and all you havo dis covered.' I repeated over the story that I had pretty well prepared in my mind. It was that Bascomb and I had fallen in with a Federal oavulry patrol, just north of Sirasburg, about dusk, that he was taken prisoner, and that I had saved myself by a hard ride, the Yankees pur suing mo to Fisher's Hill, and tiring at me repeatedly. The Genoral seemed disappointed that I oould not tell him more, and wished tollmow it I had talk ed with the people of Strasburg I laid yes. Well, dil thoy say anything about Sheridan T Had he gone to Washing toot and did they think tho Sixth Corps was in the yalley yet. I told him the people knew, or pretended to know, nothing about the Yankee army. He seemed more disappointed by my reply, nd after two or three more questions, j dismissed me I should have inventep something; but as it was, I tjot off with out telling a woid; truth or lies, about our army. You may better believe I !e!t much moro comfortable after I found myself outside tho tent. , This was about a week before the 19th, I wont to work carefully an cautiously, learning the mime and tane of everybody Biound heailqiiarters.foiind out what was genoVally expected of me, and began to obsorve everything nnd re member whit I saw and heard. Afifr three days I was satisfied that the impo sition was so perfect, that I need have no fear for myself, aud so commenced t ride around among the camps. It was not long be'oro I saw that something unusual was on toot. I leamoi that two or thre new divisions had jmi oome up from Staunton, and I conclude from the looks ot all the camps that there wero t ot less than twenty thou sand men present. One d iy a Union safeguard wab brought in, wh'i had been protecting some property near Srusluirtr. IIo was asked the same questions i h it had been, and declared that Sheridan was absent, and that the Sixll- Corps bad left tor Grant's army die week b toro. He told just half the truth, the Sixth Corps wore still with Sheridan I well knew. Tho man was most likely one of thoe stupid yonkers who never pretend to know much. However, I believe l)"it General Ea' ly hid made up his mind before thai th Sixth Corps bad left, an 1 that this mauV report bad confirmed his belief. Tint night I listened in a safe place outbid his tent, aud beard him aud his General arranging the plan of atiaok on the Uniou position. They talked it over' just as is happened afterwards; tint the army should cross the Shenandoah, leaving a reserve to bring the artillery down the pike at the right time, creep around the Mirsanutten, cross the river in rear of our left, aud attack before daylight. I wanted to laugh at the wholo plan at first. It seemed so absurd and impossible; but as they continued to discuss it I began to think that it was one of thos j foolhardy exploits which our people would never suspect, and which might, perhaps, sucoeed where a less risky plan woul J be certain to fail At all events, I grew alarmed the more I heard ot it, and resolved to leave for the Union lines as soon as possible. It was now Monday; tho movement was to begin that night, and I had need to be stirring. But here I was foiled in every direction. Not a man was allow ed to leave camp;the guards were doubl ed; the pickets strengthened, and every precaution taken to guard against deser tion. I felt sura that, even it I oould elude the camp guard, the pickets would not let me out on my pass, and that I might expose myself to suspicion by trying it at this time. Sol kept per fectly still: and you can imagine what anxiety I felt the work of preparation wont on. Like myself most of tho soN diers thought it was foolhardy, but I knew ihey would fight well for all that. Vou were on the ground and know something.about the attaek. Kershaw's division had the advance, and tbey moved out a little after dark and crossed the river. I rode at the head of a small detachment ot scouts in advance, and a difficult and tedious time we had ot it. We passed some places that a horseman could not safely rida over, and thsn we had to dismount and lead tho animals around, and it was within two hours of daylight before we crossed the river again At some points we could hear the Union pickets talking together. My beart sunk as I saw thousands of rebel infantry wading the river. Here they were exactly in the rear ot the Eighth Corps, and our men all quietly jwlecp in camp. By this time I got desperate and de termined to go off nt a gallop, when the general gave an order to go forward and seo if there was any scouts in front. I rode straight for the pike, calculating that I might yet be able to rouse the army, I dushod on and found nothi- g stirring, and but a sii.gle guard bffore the tents. A sleepy officer thrust out hia head and asked 'What's np f I was so full ot excitement that I oould haidly apeak, and very likely I acted a little wild. 'The whole rebel army will attaok us in twenty minutos I' I replied. 'Go to your regiment, or I'll hand you over to the Provost Marshal.' I protested that I wai in my sober tenses, tad urged to be allowed to tee General Wright so loudly, tl at the noise awoke tinu and his head, too, was thrust out 'What's all this row about f he asked. I told him the whole story in lesa than half a minute, and assured him that the rebel advnnaa was all in order of battle at th t moment on Crook's left, waiting for d tyhght to begin the attack; and he merely laughed at me. 'You've probably been soared out ot your senses by a g-ierrilla.'ho said. 'Go to your regiment.' So there I was left all alone, with the tllll knowledge ot what was r-oinw tn , . O ' hniipen in htieeo minutes, and no body would credit me ! I can't say now that I lilame them; I presume it I had been th ? guard before the tents, I should have doubted the soberness of a man who would come in and make such a roport, But it was true fearfully true; and I think they began to behove me before they had taken brty winks more ! There was but one more ohanoo one faint, desperate chance. Custar would believe me; and remounting my horse, I plied whip and spur and galloped ovr i he rough hilly ground toward the et tie.ue right, where the aavalry were en. camped. It was almost two miles from Wright's to Custur's headquarters, and I might have known there was no houe. I h id not reached tho right ot the Sixth Corps, ami daylight had not. come, when i near.i mat Ui'st terrible Vollev from Kfir.haw's loading biigide, followed bw the cheers ot the rebels as they burt in oi the silent etmps ot the Eghth Corps ,ll lJe the mer. like sheep before diem, making prisoners by ihe hundreds.
