facts, which might look well in this
narrative.-but-as I started to- relate
ers by simply saying that: we were
from the date of starting to the date of
the battle reaching the grounds.
The 19th day of January, 1862, came*
on Sunday. On the Friday before,
after the usual number of hours’ strug.
. gle through mud and brush to make a
few miles, we went into camp about.
“one hour by sun,” as had been our
custom, where we expected to remain
in quiet repose until the dawn of an-
other day, when we would be ready to
continue our march. But this wasnot
to be. We had just finished our frugal
meal (supper) when “attention” was
sounded, followed by “fall in,”’-and in
a few minutes we were marched out of
camp offi on a 'bywroad; plodding,
through mud and slush, on a “wild-
goose chase” ‘of about ten miles. It
turned out to be a “water-haul,” and
we did not return'to our camp until
about 4 p. m, the next day (Saturday).
The 14th Ohio was with us, The two
regiments (4th Ky. and 10th Ind.) of
our brigade had resumed their march
on Saturday morning, and as a result
one half of our brigade was at one
point on Saturday night and the other
Half at another, with ten miles hetween.
We of the 10th. Ky...did not zoll out
very early the next morning, it being
Sunday, and besides that our side trip
had Been made during asheavy rain.
However, the sun came out on that
Sunday morn and found us preparing
breakfast, generally, with fires all
through the camp, upon which the
coffee was boiling, and around which
stood the men drying their clothing,
which had become thoroughly soaked
the day and night before, chatting and
chafing in the customary way, when
there came to our ears the boom ofa
big gun. All was hushed instantly,
and only glances full of inquiry were
exchanged. Then came the second
boom, reverberating through the trees,
soon followed by another, then another,
until there appeared scarcely a second’s
interim between them.
During this time each man, as of one
accord, secured the best cup of coffee
he could, and while rushing for his
gun and sccounterments gulped down
the bojling fluid, and thus was ready.
to fall in at the command; In an in-
credibly short time the line was form-
ed and was out upon the country road,
and we were marching in route - step
toward the cannonading that had been
the disturbing element in our eamp.
A forced march of 10 miles is not a
pleasant way of annihilating space,
especially upon an empty stomach.

making ourselves at home in another
man’s house during his absence; but,
then, what could we do hut to content
ourselves as best we could under the
circumstances. We had come a long
way to visit them. The weather was
bad and the roads miserable, and we
felt that we must have a rest; so we,
entered. The 10th Ky. went over the
works in line of battld while the 14th
Ohio went over by the right flank.
Both entered about the same instant |
at different points.
When we got into their camp, as
stated before, they were not there.
Judging by appearances, however,they
must have been looking for or expect-
ing us. They had left everything that
they possessed for our useand com-
fort.. There were the quarters all up

quality, fine boots, night-shirts, trav-
eling-trunks; toilet articles, table sets
chinaware, sewing-machines, and
horses, mules and wagons without
number—yes, all of these things and
more had they left to our use. Only
think what a warm reception they had
prepared for us, and then, after all,
they were not at home to receive us.
We never received any “cards of re
gret” explaining their forced absence,
nor do we know to this day why they
were not there. We, however, made
the best of the conditions as we found
them, and took our hats off and con-
tented ourselves as best we could.
There was one article they left us,
which looked very unkind on their
part. This was an “animalcile,” which
developed into typhoid fever, and I
actually believe that our loss
from that + disease was
greater than would © have been

That afternoon’ the: writer visited
regimental headquarters,and there met
Col. 8. 8. Fry. of the 4th Ky. Finding
him alone, and knowing him well, I
approached him on the subject of Zol-
licoffer’s death. “I saw at once I had
touched him upon a delicate subject.
He was loth to talk about it at all, nor
would he have related the circnmstan-
ces of that casualty until he became
convinced, more by my manner
than by any words of mine, that it was
fiot throtigh miere curiosity that I ap.
proached him upon the subject. In
rather a reluctant manner he related
what folows, and here I speak or write
as coming from him: . = 7 ¥
©T heard constant and rapid firing
on the right of my regiment,and I rode
over there to learn the cause of it. I
rode past the regiment by the rear,
and turned thén to the front, coming
out of the thicket into a clear field.
The first object my eyes took in was a
_man on horseback, He wore a plug hat,
and his person was enveloped in a rub-
ber coat of light color. . I saw no in:
signia of rank about him, no side arms
or pistols.! As I'drew up to examine
the ground and take in the situation,
this man approached me, and pointing
towards the woods on the opposite
of the clearing we were in, said: ‘Col-
onel, we ought not to fire upon our
own mena part of whom are over
there” | I looked at him, then in’ the
direction he had indicated, and to
gatisfy myself regarding ' the -matter,
turned my horse and rode off in that
course. I'liad@ ridden but a short dis-
tance when I heard the click of cock-
ing a pistol. I immediately turned my
head to look back, reining my horse's
head around at the same time, and as
my vision took in the spot I had just
left the stranger on, alone, there, right
at his side, sat a man on a horse with
a pistol in his hand, pointed straight
at me. Before I had got squarely
aronnd he pulled the trigger, and the
bullet missed hitting me, but pene-
trated the lung of my horse, from the
effects of which he died a few hours
after. Immedialely after firing he put
spurs to his horse and galloped off. In
the meantime I had gotten out my pis-
tol, and thus queried: ‘Who is the man
in the rubber coat that approached me
about shooting our own men? The
man who tried to kill me is no doubt
his friend, and, as such, he must be my
enemy.’ I raised my pistol, took aim,
fired, and he fell to the ground. I
afterwards learned that it was Gen,
Zollicoffer.” :
This was told me over 30 years ago,
two days after the oecurrence. AsI
have seen several accounts of this inci-
dent printed, none of which were cor:
rect, the thought came to me that I
would put Gen Fry's own words,
spoken at the time, into print, that the
exact truth may be carried down to
the future.—I. B. WEBSTER in Nation-

a peculiar accident at Monongahela City
that cost the younger brother his life. The
two boys mounted a horse and started for
Pigeon Creek, near their place. When they
entered the stream the horse became restive
and threw both boys into deep water. John
disappeared immediately, and it is believed
he struck a stone or was benumed in some
way. The brother was rescued after hard
work, and shortly afterwards the dead body
of John was brought to the surface.

A WiscoNsiN jury has found that
seven men who indulged .in the di-
version of lynching a criminal some
weeks ago were all insane on the
night of the crime. Three of them
are held to be insane still and have
been sent to an asylum, but the other
four are considered to have recovered
their reason and were discharged.
The verdict is an extremely valuable
contribution to the law of insanity.
It may seem almost incredible that
seven men of previously unquestioned
mental competence should simultan-
eously be seized by exactly the same
sort of madness, should disguise
themselves, proceed by separate paths
to a meeting place, and thence in a
body to a jail where the common ob-
ject of their insane resentment was
incarcerated, should take .this pris-
oner out and hang him, dispersing
them to their various homes, giving
thereafter no sign of madness—all

4. Commentary.
1. “How aminble are Thy tabernacles, O
Lord of Hosts.” See Davids love for God's
dwelling place, the tabernacle in which I
was pleased to dwell among the children of
Israel. The instruction to Moses was, “Lel
them make Me a sanctuary, that I may
dwell among them” (Ex. xxx., 8, he
Amiable is the same as beloved or well be-
loved, and is so translated in Deut. xxxiii.,
12, Isa. v., 1. The title **Lord of Hosts” is
first found in I Sam. i.,:3; and is first heard
from the lips of Hannah in the same
chapter (verse 11) in a time of great distress.
It is a name full of comfort to all who ai

P 2. "My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth,
for the courts of the Lord; my heart and
my flesh crieth out for the living God.” It
was not the house that he thought so mud
of, but tke living God who there dwelt
among His people Israel. The reason why
he so earnestly desired this——one thing--was:
that he might behold the beauty of Jehovah
(Ps. xxvii., 4). He had a holy appetite

He envies the birds, worthless and restless,
who feed and live about the tabernacle, Or
possibly he speaks of the neglect of th A

blessedness of dwelling in God’s house
being satisfied with His goodness, Only
who are the redeemed of the Lord, and
truly say as in the previous verse, ©
King and my God,” know anything of sue
blessedness, and only such can truly praise
God. Selah is found seventy-three times in
the Psalms and toree times in Hab. iii., ant

(R. V.). Before we can have much joy in
the Lord we must learn that He alone is of
salvation and our strength and our
(Ex. xv., 2; Ps. cxviii,, 14; Isa xi, 2),
must learn to say, “My soul wait thou onl;
upon God” (Ps. Ixii., 1, 2, 5, 6, 7). Then sh
we 1ind in heart and lite the highway of holi-
ness or wholeness of God (Isa. xxxv.. 8, 1
6. “Passing through the valley of we
ing they make it a place of springs; yea,
early rain covereth it with blessings”
V.). The dreariest paths and dryest pl
on earth become places of springs and bles:
ings by the very presence of those who can
say to God **All my springs are in Thee”
(Ps. Ixxxvii., 7). They become indeed thi
lite and light of the world because of the
presence in them of Him who is the Lif
and the Light. They are as tvees by ta
waters, they do not ses when heat come
jor esate from ylelding fruit (Jer. xvii, 8
Ss. i, 8.) Ray
7. “They go from strength to strength
every one of them in Zion appearsth beto:
God.” The people of Israel journeying to
Jerusalem three times in the year to keep
the various feasts, as God had appoin
(Bx. xxiii., 14-17), and their joy on the wa
made glad the land (Deut. xvi., 11,14,
16). All true Christians journeying throug
this world to the New J orvealom should
bring joy and gladness as th
cause they are children: of Font ow
that they shall every one be at the marriage

9. “Behold, O God, our shield and look
upon the face of Thine anointed.” Wh
Abram was tempted to be afraid of waat
might come to him from the kings from
whose hands he had rescued Lot, Jehovah
said to him, ‘I am thy shield” (Gen. xv., 1)¢
He is a wall of fire around about all who

10. **For a day in Thy courts is better
than a thousand. »
keeper in the house of my God than to dwell
in the tents of wickedness.” Some one has
said that God's worst is better than the dev:
il’s best. What though we should have all
that the world can give? it soon passes
away, but he that doeth the will of God
abideth forever (I Johnii., 17): Better far,
like Moses, to suffer affliction with the Foo
ge of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sit
or a season (Heb, xi., 23.)

then shall the Righteous shine forth as the
Sun (Mal, iv. 2, Math, xiii., 43). While wi

us full of grace and truth and will supply
all our need (John i., 14; Math. xxviii,
Rom. viii., 82: Phil, iv. 19; Ps. xxxiv., 10)
12. **O Lord of Hosts, blessed is the man
