It is of the final battle of| the Civil War, the battle of Fort Steadman, October 25, 1865. General Lee was finally con- vienced that he could not hold his | own much longer. His last hope | was in the success of this assault be able to join General re] son in North Carolina. One inci-| dent before the assault I wish to] give you. The pickets of both sides after | months of duty became friendly. | They knew a. m. in the morning when the as-| sault was to be made the signal to | start was to be a signal shot. But just before this time the Union | picket heard some noise and cal- | led out, “What are you doing over | there, Johnny? What is the noise? | Answer quick or Ill shoot.” The, Johnny said he was getting rations | from the cornfield. He stood by | the side of General J. B. Gordon and with rifle pointed upward hesi- | tated. His conscience seemed to get hold of him, he was going in- | to eternity and did not feel dis-| posed to go with a lie on his lips| by which he had thrown the Union picket off his guard. His hestita- tion surprised General Gordon who ordered, “Fire your gun sir.” He at once called to his kind-hearted fce and said, “Hello, Yank, wake up; we are going to shell the wcods, look out we are coming.” And with this effort to satisfy his conscience with the Yankee picket, he fired the shot and rushed for- ward in the darkness. They captured Fort Steadman but kefore the day was over our own General Hartranft with 6 regi- ments of Pennsylvania troops, No. 200, 205, 207, 208, 209 and 211 In-| faniry. recaptured the fort. Our mutual friend and Cassville 16%er Seward Jones of Boston lost his good father in the recapture of the Fort. He was Lieutenant of the 209th Regiment. The Pennsylvania Regiments formed . the 3rd Divi- sion, 9th Corps, Army of the Po- tomac.
