at or near- Youngs Point, La. in Feb-
ruary, 1863. The story was told me 30
Or more years ago, and | have forgot
ten Lhe details. | remember, however,
that a member of Company B sald that
on the night of February 14, 1863 the
tent of the noncommissioned officers
was struck by lightning
“Two of the men in the
killed by the bolt ané four others were
disabled The lightning in fact, caused
as much commotion in camp as an at-
tack by the enemy, and there were all
sorts of rumors as to the sensations
of those who recovered from the
shock The question of Interest now
is, were any of those struck by light
ning permanently disabled, and {f so,
did they have as many queer experi
ences as men disabled by wounds?
The records show that a good many
soldiers were injured by lightning dur
ing the war. What became of them?
‘Twenty years ago a Twenty third
Illinois man told me the story of a
man severely wounded at the battle
of Lexington, Mo, which that story
of the Checkess battery’ reminded me
of. This comrade of the Twenty-third
Illinois was severely wounded . early
n the day. He remained in the works,
trad strength
and opportunity. In the afternoon the
confederates opened a furious fire on
the unlon works and the men on the
firing line were ordered to move out of
the way so that the little six-pounder
on the advance line could open on the
tent were
‘All got out of the way except tne
wounded man, who was not able to
move far enough to escape the suc
tion of the wind after each discharge.
The result was that before the other
men realized what was going on the
muscles were shredded from the
wounded man's arm above the elbow
poor fellow made no protest or
complaint and was not rescued from
his trying situation until the gun had
been discharged several times Now
I would like to know what became of
that man.”
‘One of the regiments in that bat.
tle of Lexington” said the captain,
“had been in service not more than
a hundred days, but the men fought
like veterans. It is true they were
informal and Irregular at times, but
they stood by thelr guns For ex
ample, there was a little Dutchman
of company A, First lllinols cavalry,
who on the third day, after all the men
who had manned the six-pounder had
been shot, swabbed, loaded and fired the
gun himself. He was precision itself
and as unexcited as if on drill
After the white flag had been or
dered up for the third time by the
commander of the home guards, and
had been taken down as often by in
{ignant men, most of the boys fo our
part of the works In front of the hos
pital cut out for the main works
around the college. E. A. Jellison,
however, remained with the little
Dutchman and his six-pouncer, firing
his old musket as rapidly as circum
tances would permit. After firing all
his own cartridges and all that he
could flue in the cartridge boxes of
the dead within his reach, Jellison
tied a handkerchief to his ramrod
and went over to the movable hemp
bale breastworks of Gen. Rains con

and sent it to Col. Mulligan by Jell}
son
“The latter delivered the message
to Mulligan, secured another gun and
more ammunition, and agalo opened

admitted this was very Irregular, but
he contended that Gen. Rains did oot

Dutchman did, or than Jellison him-
