A. F. SPEICHER. Army of the Potomac on the Move, On the 26th of Nov., 1863, we again made a general forward movement, our corps crossing the Rapidan river at Ger- mania Ford and going into camp on a hill along the river.

While going through the woods there were three things that oc- curred that would make one laugh, though death was staring him in the face. The first was that of a Dutchman, when a piece of shell struck his knapsack and knocked him down. He jumped up. his fist at the Rebels and said: “Youst come over by me and I knock you to h 1 and gone.” The second was a true story Comrade MecCor- mick. He had a pocket Bible in one pocket and a deck of cards in the other, and not wishing to be found dead or wounded with a pack of cards on his per- son. he concluded to throw the cards away; but he made a mistake and threw his pocket Bible away and didn’t know any better until after we returned to win- ter quarters. The third was on our Left while the line of battle was approaching the same field. They drove a hog ahead of them. and some six or eight of my reg- iment jumped up and after the hog; and with all the threats and commands from the officers. thev would not stop until thev caught the hog. which was within a hundred yards of the Rebel battery; and before the hog was done squealing, one of them was running back with a ham. Why the Rebels did not fire on them, or on us any more, I am at a loss to know: but I suppose they thought that if those half-dozen men were a fair resentation of the troops in the woods, that it was not healthy for them to re- main there anv longer, and they limbered up and pulled out. which ended the racket for that day. Next day, after throwing out flankers. we moved off at a moderate rate, and about 9 a. m. a cold rain and sleet set in. which kept up until we reached Mine run, in the evening, where we found the Rebels behind strong hreast That night I was on picket, and it cleared off and got intensely cold. I thonght] would perish; in fact some of the pickets did freeze to death. It remained verv cold and we were forbidden to kindle fires anywhere near the front. * Next day we were taken back behind a large hill, where there were some fires. Herve we warmed up and made some coffee. That night my mess gathered some brush and made a large fire. and after the brush was burned away, we swept the fire away and lay down on the warm ground, thinking we would have a good night's sleep. But about 2a. m. I woke up so cold that I could hardly get up. I had filled my canteen with water, the evening before, and put it under my knapsack to‘keep it from being stolen. When I went for my canteen to get some water to make coffee, with which to warm me up, I found that the water was frozen and the canteen bursted. On the 30th of Nov. our corps was to charge the Rebel works at 3 a.m. It was bright moonlight, and when going out to form as near the works as possi- ble, in the early part of the night, we were ordered to tie our tin cups, not to make any noise, and also to carry our guns at a trail; for the moonlight on the guns could be seen at a great distance. Our good old General Sedgwick was loth to take his good corps of reliable veter- shook on rep works 80 as ans into a slaughter pen. He made a personal inspection of the place and found it swampy for over a hundred yards or more on each side of the run. He so reported to Gen. Meade, saying: “1 will lead my men over there, but when I get there 71 won’t have men enough to form a camp guard.” Meade manded the order and we were marched back about half a mile and formed in counter- | line of battle. my regiment supporting the 1st New York battery, which opened fire on the Rebel works at daylight, the Rebels replying in such a manner as to shake the earth. While lying there on the frozen ground, one of the battery men had both feet shot off, not ten feet from me. That night were with- drawn, and on the 2nd of December we recrossed the Rapidan went into our winter quarters near Brandy Station, Culpepper county. On the 13th of Feb. I re-enlisted for 3 more years, received a 85-day furlough, and on the 16th I reached home. I re- turned to my regiment on the 22d of March and found it pretty well filled up with recruits. Among them was my brother Samuel, which made the fifth one from our family. My next will be on the great battle of the Wilderness. CorpL. B. F. JonNs, Co. A, 49PA.

The Hagerstown Herald is publishing some interesting stories of old times from the columns of the Torch Light of 1823. In those davs the office of postmaster was not very lucrative, according to an ad- vertisement which appeared Dec. 23, 1823. from Mr. Daniel Schnebley, the post- master, who informs the public that after January 1, 1824, no letters will be given out without the postage being paid in cash: that no attention is paid to his solicitations for payment; that people have been getting letters and papers for nearly two years without paving a cent, and that he has to pay nearly every quar- ter to the Postoffice department an amount equal to his receipts.
