A NIGHT WI1H JACKSON.
Reminiscence * of tlio Confederate
Loader After the Bloody Battle
tlo of FroilorlohubnrR
Vhlivlcli-hU Time * . ,
" \Vliilo serving on Stoitowall Jack
oon's stalT 1 sometimes shared with
him the shelter of Jus tent , and it wns
my good fortune to do so the night of
the battle of Fredoriuksburg , when
flomo little incidents occurred which ,
though trifling in themselves , were o
chnmctoristic of the general's consiclot0
rnto kindness that perhaps on that ncan
count , they deserve to bo recorded.
After the fiVht wns over , when
When the night iloud had lowered
Anil the sentinel itirs set their n'itth In the sVj.
\Vo wcro riding together near Hamil
ton's Crossing , on the right of 0iir
line , when ho turned to mo and sajd :
"Colonel , as this has boon a fatiguing
day , nnd you must be tired , I think
you had better return to camp , got
your supper nnd go to bed , for we are
likely to have a very busy day to
morrow. " The atlvico was timely and
too good to bo neglected ; ao with a
grateful appreciation of his fitness I
thanked him foe the suggestion , and
promptly turned my horse's head
towand the camp , which wns about a
mile from the crossing , whorcutxm ho
added , as a parting injunction : "Ho
euro and toll Jim to make you com
fortable in my tent to-night and not
to > ait for mo. If , wanted , I shall
piobably bo nt Ihoarmy headquarters. "
Jim was the general's body servant
and faithful f.ictotum , as much idon-
tiliodiwith him in his icampaigns as
was tlio "Old Sorrel" which his inns-
or always rodo'in battle , ' and which ,
by the way , was ns litllo like the
Scriptural war horse described in Job
as the general himself resembled the
classical representations of Mars iu
Hebrew mythology ! '
-The servant and' ' 'bid ' Sorrel" being -
ing about the same color each having
the hue of gingerbread , without any
of Us spictnoss their respective charActers -
I Actors were in a concatanation accord
ingly. For they wcro equally obedi
ent , patient , easy-going and reliable ;
not given to devious courses nor de
signing tricks ; moro serviceable than
showy , and , altogether , as sober-
Bided a pair of subordinates as any
Presbyterian elder with plain tastes
and a practical turn noca desire to
have about him. Both man and horse
scorned to understand- their master
thoroughly , and raroly'failed to como
up fully to all his requirements. So
that when I told Jim that his master
aid ho must make mo comfortable for
the night , I know very well that
nothing further need be urged to im
press him with the comprehensiveness
of the order , which , ho would bo sure
to look upon as limited only by the re
sources of the camp and his own ca
pacity as u caterer. Consequently in
duo time , a substantial supper was
served to which full justice was done ,
as I had oaten nothing since daylight ,
and soon thereafter I was sound 1
asleep on the general's pallet , which
appeared to have a caoutchouc capabil
ity of accommodation when Jim , "On
hospitable ) ) thoughts intent ! " * pro
ceccled , as ho said , to ' 'widen of it
out for to make it more titten for two. "
IN TENT WITH JACKSOX.
About midnight I was awakened by
the entrance of the General , who had
been , as I learned afterwards , at Gen
eral Leo's headquarters , but I did not
let him know that ho had disturbed
mo , as that would have worried him.
Lighting a candle and laying aside his
greatcoat , sword , etc. , ho opened the
draft of the little sheet-iron stove that '
warmed the Sibloy tout , and seating
himself at the table rend for awhile in
his well-worn Testament ; then , kneel
ing reverently down , ho "bowed him
self in prayer. " When'through with
his devotions ho drew oft" his boots ,
put on a pair of slippers and quietly
lying down by my side fell fast asleep
almost immediately. By this time I
was too wide awake to follow his ex
ample. My thoughts reverting to the
terrible scenes of the proceeding day
would not bo controlled and I "could
not recall them from the bloody battle
field close by , where the dreadful
drama had boon enacted and where
there were then lying so many thous
ands of bravo men , who
"had sunk on the groundo'crpowcrcd
Tlio wcnry to sleep and the wounded to die. "
I thought of the magnificent spec
tacle of the morning before , when
"tho rolling mists" began to rise from
the river and revealed "tho grand
Army of the Potomac , " with its 125- ,
000 men , superbly armed and equip
ped , as it deployed , column after
column , on the open plain before us ,
"in all the pomp and prldo and cir
cumstances of war" one of the grand
est sights over behold on the conti ,
nent. I thought of the splendid ad
vance of its triple lines of battle ,
marching with the precision of regu
lars on dross parade , and preserving
their alignment perfectly along our
front as far as the eye could roach ,
until coming within point blank range
of our position , when with 300 qan-
non roaring around them and the air ,
filled with the merciless missiles of
death they so gallantly rushed to the
charge on the right hand and on the
left , and were so remorselessly repulsed -
od by the concentrated tire ot the Con
federates , which sent them reeling
back beyond the river road to reform
their shattered ranks for a fresh as
sault , while the intervening ground ,
covered with their killed and wound
ed , was so torn up by shot and shell >
that it looked in places as if it had
boon ploughed. I thought of young '
Pallium's daring feat how , dashing
forward far into the open field upon
the Federal flank , ho so raked the ad
vancing lines with the enfilading lire
from two pieces of his hone artillery
as to compel them to pause and not
only confront him with a whole divis
ion of infantry , thrown into crochet .8Ut
right angles with their main lines of
battle , but , likewise , to concentrate
upon him the fire of four batteries , be
sides the heavy guns onStafford
Heights ; and how , notwithstanding
these combined attacks , the boy artil
lerist maintained tlio unequal duel for
moro than an hour , and until ho woa
recalled by positive orders from his
perilous position. Well might Gener
al Leo exclaim as ho did to Jackson in
regard to Pelham's prowess : ' 'It is
inspiring to see such glorious courage
in one BO young ; " and well might
Jackson say of him , as ho did to me
that day ; "He's the best artillerist . ,
for his ago , I over saw , " I thought
of the furious assaults made earh in
the afternoon upon our ri ht , when ,
again under cover of a terrible cannon
ade , "three lines of battle advanced
to the charge , preceded by clouds of
skninishors" and sttengthoncd by ten
batteries of field guns upon their
flanks ; of how they broke thiough n
portion of the Confederate line , forc
ing two of A. P. Hill's brigades to fall
back on their supports .vul of the tem
porary confusion ivhich was caused
thereby , for fear our tlank should bo
turned and our position taken in re
verse ; of how grandly the lion-hearted
Gregg flung himself into the fight that
was fated to bn his last ; of how tl.o
staunch old soldier , Jubal Knrly , came
t0 the rescue , regaining the lost ground
and re-establishing our line ; and of
liow the Federals again wcro finally
compelled to seek safety in flight ,
while a terrible tire of canister and
grape made fearful havoc among the
fugative * . I thought , too , of the last
desperate olFbrtsthnt wcro madointho
evening upon our left , as described tome
mo by those who saw them when the
enemy so insanely assaulted Leo's
position on Mnryo's Hill , which was
impregnable ana where BO many gal
lant men were cruelly sacrificed in
vain attempts ( s > achieve an imposii-
bility.
KTONHWAU. 8 OUI HAllITs.
Thus the principal events of that
momentous day of successive excite-
incuts passed in review bcforo mo in
the order of their occurrence , like the
pictures of a moving panorama , with
all the horrible details of a battle-field
so that , of course , there was no moro
sleep for mo that night. But this was
not the case with the general by my
side , who was moro fortunate , 1 was
glad to sco , in securing for himself the
benefit of "Tired nature's sweet re
storer , " which I know ho greatly need *
od. Jackson , however , had the happy
faculty of sleeping when ho pleased ,
of waking when lie wanted to do so ,
and taking naps under circumstances
that , certainly , were not calculated to
lull , the senses in oblivion. For not
only have I frequently seen hint nod
ding by the camp-firo with his staff
laughing and talking around him , and
sleeping in the saddle amid the dust ,
confusion and discomfort of a inarch ,
but , likewise , on moro than one occa
sion , when under lire , as was notably
the case at Halltown in May ' 02whon
I made a pencil sketch of him as ho
rojclined an the ground against a tree ,
in the roar of a battery , not moro
than thirty foot from the guns , and
was slumbering as placidly aa an infant
in its mother's arms , while the can
non were firing rapidly , and their re
ports . ' were as loud as "tho live thun
der" itself.
But to resume the thread of my
narrative. It was about 2 o'clock
when the general awakened , and he
did so suddenly as if by his own voli
tion , at the expiration of the time ho
had previously allotted for his nap.
Ho got up carefully , making aa little
noise as possible , for ho evidently
thought I was still asleep an impres
sion on his part which I did not think
proper to correct.
Relighting the candle ho began to
write at the table , which stood near
the foot of the bed and in a position
that enabled mo to study his hand
some profile , to which , by the way ,
none of his pictures do justice. After
being thus engaged for some little
time , ho turned toward mo , and see
ing that the light of the candle shone
in my face , ho softly arose from his
aoat and brought a book from the
other aide of the tout , which ho care
fully adjusted on the table between
the candle and myself , ao as to shield
my eyes completely from the light. It
was a little thing to do , a very little
thing , indeed , b'ut at the same time it
waa sufficient to indicate to mo the
thoughtful goodness of that great heart
'of his , which was bold as a lions's and
as gentle as a lamb's.
JACKSOK AND
While I laid there looking at him
through my half-closed oyalids I heard
some one gallop up to our quarters and
inquire of the orderly if the General
was in , and presently an aide of Gcn-
Maxoy Gregg's wai ushered into the
tent , who came with a verbal message
trom his dying chhf.
"General , " said ho , "General Gregg
has sent mo to say to you that ho will
bo glad to sco you before ho leaves us.
Wo fear that ho will not live until
morning , and ho wishes to tell you
that ho regrets having sent you the
note ho did the day before yesterday , as
ho has since discovered that you wcro
right nnd ho mistaken. "
"Poor follow ! " exclaimed the Gen
eral , in a tone of deepest feeling ; "I
feared his wound was mortal ; but did
not think the end so near. Give my
love to him and say that I will see
him as BOOH as I can get there. "
Whereupon the young officer took his
leave , and the General , accompanying
him outside , gave orders for Jim to
saddle the "Old Sorrel" for him nt
once. When ho ro-tntorod the tent itI
took occasion to sneak to him tolot him
know 1 was awake , and after some
little conversation about General
Grofjg , whom ho referred to in em
phatic terms of praise , affection and
regret , I asked him what was his idea
of the situation at the front and
whether lie thought the attack would
bo renewed.
"Yes , " said ho , "and I think upon
our right ; so I have given orders to
strengthen our position there by in-
trcncmnf. Burruido has doubtless
discovered by this time that it's use
less for him to make any further at
tempts on the loft and loft centre itof
our line , and that his only chance for
effecting anything will bo to concen
trate his force upon our right our near
Hamilton's Crossing , making a feint
in that direction of his last assault ,
near Fredoricksburg. But , Colonel. "
ho added , as ho drew on his boots ,
"wo'll be ready for him , and , with
God's help , we'll gain another Ic-
tory.r
MASTKU AND HAN.
When ho wont out to mount his
horse there was n somewhat amusing
colloquy between himself and Jim ,
which though characteristic ) of master
and man , showed how the latter fail
ed for once in obedience to orders , and
the former likewise , in enforcing his
own command. Jim , it BCOIIIH , had
put the saddle on the wrong horse , ,
which caused the General , as ho dis
co verod.it , to ask him :
'Why , what does this mean ? Didn't
I send you word to saddle the "Old
Sorrel1' ?
Yes , sir , you did , " said Jim.
"Thou why have you brought mo
this animal ? " was the next inquiry.
"Well , sir , I tell you , " naiil Jim.
"You see , sir , when you como back
last night it was most midnight , and
the 'Olo Sorrel1 was tlie dead tired
'cause you'd been a riding of him all
a. !
day lone , thnt 1 sort o promised him
loiiio rest hofo' ho fthoulil bond n nin ,
sir. Thrfo' . air , I'a iloijo fetch the
young sorrel for you this tune , sir/ '
"lint , Jim , " roplicil the general , "T
alwnjsprotorto tide the 'OKI Sorrel'
in Iwltlo. "
"I know Hint , sir , " responded Jim ,
"nnd if Ihoro gwino to bo another
battle I toll you \\lrnt I'll do. Soon
M 1 hnr the tirsl gifn go"bixng I'll fetch
the 'Olo Sorrol' down to the front for
you , sir , and then , you ace , air , ho'll '
bo fresh , sir. "
Thnt assurance scorned to satisfy
the gonoml , * ns ho rode off without
further romonstr.inco. Whereupon ,
callint ; Jim into the tent , I asked him
\ > hnt it wns hi * u.astorvns saying
about another battle , and his reply
showed thnt ho was by no moans deficient -
ficiont in sagacity , "For. " said ho ,
"tho general , sir , ho thinks thoro's
gwino to bo another baltlo hero ; may
be thii morning. Hut , sir , 1 don't
boliovoit for it stands to reason , sir ,
that the powerful lickin' wo done
give the Yankees yistordny is a gwino
to last 'cm a good long whilo. Least
wise they won't ' want any mo1 doin's
o1 that sort to-day. No , sir-ce , they's
too smart for thnt thorn tlinr Yankees
is , nir. "
Jim wai right inhispwgnostication.
fcr though "tho morning disclosed
the tcdor.ils still driiwn upon the plain
in full nrr.iy , " nnd their command ,
Ooner.xl Uiirnside , wni anxious to re
new the cngagemont , ho iccoivcdno
encouragement to do so , it is said ,
frmn cither his ouiceis or mon , and
tlio following morning passed without
any demonstration , except BOIIIO nrlil-
lory practice to long range and a con
tinual skirmishing of shnrpshootois ,
until a temporary truce was granted
to enable the federals to relieve their
wounded on the field , many of whom
had been lying for twenty-four hours
on the freezing ground where they had
fallen , nnd some poor tellnws for two
days nnd nights , unattended from the
time that they had been stricken
down in the preliminary skirmishing
of the day before the memorable bat
tle of December 13 , which closed the
campaign of 180'A.

"You newspaper follows don t care
what you say so long as you make n
tiling road well , do you ? " remarked nn
"old-timor" to n Tribune reporter yes
terday , at the same time producing
clipping from a nowspapor. "Road
this , " lie added , handing the slip to
the reporter.
It was nu extract from a Now Mexi
co letter to the Boston Ilorald. This
is the way it read :
Taos , Now Mexico , was the homo
of Kit Carson , nnd the house of the
famous scout stands near the plaza.
Kit was once on his way homo , and
within a comparatively short distance
of Taos. Ho had not soon hii family ,
which he loved fondly , for threoycars.
But ho was overtaken with a request
from the government to boar some
very important dispatches to the Pa
cific coast. So ho turned about and
started at onco. It was tour years
moro before ho returned to his family.
Wo walked out to the little cemetery ,
standing in a mos.t desolate spot amid
the prosperous griin fields. Kit had
requested to bo buried beside his wife ,
and there wcro the graves of the two
in a lei enclosed within a picket fence ,
painted white nnd the pickets tipped
with black. Tlio grave mounds are
two low , scrawny gravel heaps. There
no tombstones , no insciiptions , noth
ing to toll * who lies below , and it is
not known which grave is filled by Kit
Carson or which by his wife. The
famous frontiersman was a rcckk-ss
gambler ; he squandered away all his
money and died penniless , but the
public owes it to his memory that his
grave should be properly marked and
cared for.
"Well ? " said the reporter , inquir
ingly , returning the clipping to the
gentleman.
"Just this : there's no truth in it.
It's a clever romance and many places
the ( esthetic Bostonians , biit it's just
a little too transparent to go down out
hero. I'll tell you the true story ;
Carson's wife > was u Mexican woman ,
and she outlived him several years.
Ho did not die at Tues , as the correspondent
pendent says , but at Fort Lyon , on
the Arkansas river , in this state. His
grave is under a cottonwood tree ,
where the htep of man seldom falls.
Ho never was o habitual gambler ,
either , and lost but little money in
that way. Ho never made much
money , but lived a roving life and
always divided his pittance , received
from the aovornmont , with the hungry
Mexicans that hung around linn.
Carson died of consumption after a
lingering sickness.
"Then again ho was not entirely
destitute ut the time of his death ,
but loft Homo landed interests , besides
sheep , horses and cattle , with his life
long friend , Colonel Tom Bo-jga. They
were sold to support and educate his
children. The little orphans of the
gicat scout fell into good hands , for
right well has Colonel Hoggs raised
and educated them. The two little
girls , now twelve and fourteen years
of age , young as they are , have n bet
ter education than did their father ,
who could scarcely write his own
