HEMINSCENCE OF THE WAR goods Written by Gtie of the “Cou- © two “rier” Contributors. “THE GREAT SCOUT.” Through the Confederate Limes. - Story of the Late War. A True Continued from st week. Troops were being massed outside of town as an attack was evidently ex- pected at this point. - Darkness was coming on; a heavy dark clond was raising and flashes of lightning with distant thunder gave warning of an ugly night. We vainly bunted up and down hoping to find our comrades. The rain soon began to pour and we ‘began to look for a suitable place to pass the night. We found a deserted ‘house with an old fashioned fire place in which we soon had a bright fire Oar fire attracted a Agtiney for COLUMBIA & HICKORY This we hoped to enjoy but we were Store in Patton I ELS ing Good Sleighing Is the most essential and enjoyable things of the year’ and it makes a person feel like going somewhere and we will venture to say that more peo- ple come to Carrolltown than any other place A a officers, probably stragglers, to it. = They inquired our business, which we frankly told. t A number of them went out and soon returned with fixed bayonets ordering as out of the room and back to our ‘command. We most gladly would have gone, but we left our regiment at Centerville and the whole army was in motion. We appealed to the provost marshall, ‘but he took uw for stragglers and thonght we had got up our story to impose on him; for be it remembered that in times of danger there were plenty of men wearing the. U. 8. uni- form who invariably sought a safer piace than the battle line. We wand- ered about for some time when we came to a party of stragglers enjoying a good fire. They had found some dry In The Counr for a sleigh-ride and that isn't all of it; they come here to buy goods at our mammoth Clon, Shoe and Dry Goods - store because they can get rices to suit their purses.

We asked and received per- or to ay rs Tr fire, provided we would carry a load of rails, the di- rection to which was pointed out. But when we retarned the guard came along and forced us to go along with them. They took us to the other side of town, where the line of battle was formed, and after forbidding us to re- ‘tarn Jeft us to enjoy ourselves as best we could. Soaked with rain, baving neither blanket nor overcoat, and wear- | ing bat a thin blouse we concluded to ‘seek some place where we could lie down in safety. We went into a field where some ar- Stllar Was 4ite od lay down on the 11 morning without oa a yy the rain ceased, and we returned to town determined, if possible, to find our comrades. We i searched the town again without suc- cess. We were at a loss where to go or what to do, and at last made up oar ' minds to go to ‘Washington. Corporal Corse that we should make one more effort. We did so and to our great joy found two or three of our party. They told us that the rest were in town and they all had spent a very pleasant night. They were thorougly refreshed while we were almost dead on our feet. Bat we turned in and breakfast, which revived us some, bei bitte to start out to find new and more thrilling adventures. The sun rose bright and warm. After relating our adventares of the night, we held a council, at which we de- termined to leave the pike and take a northerly direction. Our route lay timbered If no enemy appeared we . were to keep the direction laid out; if ‘we saw any signs tarn according to ol A brigade of our sol- diers started in the same direction about the same time, but as they were " reconoitering we soon lost sight of them. We traveled a considerable | distance without seeing anything like an enemy, and at last struck a road. We examined the road for some dis | tance and finding it led in our direc- ’ tion and presented no sign of travel, followed it. We soon came to where this road was intersected by other, and, A full and complete line of there being plenty of sand, examina- Toilet articles alw ays in stock PRESCRIPTION | were going. tion showed that a number of horses ‘had just passed in the direction we Carefully following, we | after a while overtook them.

A They also requested us not to ask any information from them on account of them being paroled,but they had given -us all we wanted just then in the first sentence, ‘Hill's corps at Hunter's Mill at 8 o’clock in the morning.” They had time to travel about two miles then we met. We ordered them to move on, and as soon as they were ‘out of sight the sergeant in command penned the following dispatch: “Hill's corps at Hunter's Mill, near Vienna; party all safe.” Corporal Corse asked and received permission to carry the message, as the rain and exposure of the first night had so #ffected him that he fesred he would be unable to contine. We then took a large circuit to avoid Hill's foroes. We finally struck the road which ‘Jeads from Vienna to Leesburg. This road had not been used and we de termined to follow it in the hope that the enemy’s lines did not extend thus far. After marching about three miles we came to a houses, and going in, asked for something to eat. There was nothing in sight but a ham, which was of course rapidly confisicated. We had met a commisary and upon the orcler spoken of at the beginning got but one day's rations, which was all we received during the eight days The man started out, telling us to re- main rill he returned. We watched him, and from the direction he took, concluded that he meant mischief. As soon as he was out of sight we hastened away, giving him and his friende a fine chano to hunt. We soon began to wonder why the road we were on was not pstroled, as it seemed to present an excellent opportunity for a flank movement. The enigma was solved on coming to a creek, where the bridge had heen destroyed, probably at. the time when the Bucktails encountered the enemy near Drainville. We crossed over und thinking it a good place to dispose of the ham, we went down stream to a thicket of alders and ate our dinner We thanked the farmer at loag range and wished him luck ?. if he had decided to call in assistance and give hase. Starting again we found our road leading through a dense growth of pitch » ‘nes, and being tired we went off some distance and took rest. As ‘the appearance of the country led us to believe that we were near a town and should be canticas, we determined to try night marching. We kept quiet till evening and then started intending to iravel all night. We had gone but a short distance when we came upon & | man whom we took for a soldier riding leisurely along at right angles to our course. Why he did not see or hear us is inexplicable, for he passed so clos that had our bayonets been fixed we might have reached him. Bat he showed no sign of alarm and we thought best not to molest him. : CANTEEN. To bw continued Tamor Removed. Dr. V7 A. Murray, assisted by Dr J. Harry Mc ‘ormick, removed a large tumor from the right shoulder of Mr. Thomas Clancy on Monday. Mr. Clancy had consulted Dr. Murray some time ago who advised its removal ow- ing to the fact that all innocent growths may unergo such a change in early life and during the active de- velopement of the glandular system as to degenerate into something more serious. ‘It ia reported Mr. Clancy stood the operation admirably and in much pleased in the manner in which it was executed. : A Good Speake’.
