"My dear sir , I can do nothing for you , ;
you are dead. "
,
"nut I am not dead ! Here I 1m alive , "
gasped the astonished client.
"I cannot help it. The court has decree ml
that you arc dead. I Is too late now for
you to appeal : therefore you are dead. "
And Judge Thomas Marshal went on , relates -
lates the Salt Lake TrIbune , to explain how
time law distncty provIdes that when a man
shall have absented himself for seven years ,
wih no trace of him , hed or hair , then he
shall Ue pl3umed to ha deJd , the canto shal iia'
bo enterel or record , and , no mater how
animated lIe may be In the obscuriy that
has swallowed him up his estate may be
probated and distrIbute as the law dIrects.
"Then Im a corpse ? "
"To all intents and purposes. "
"A dead man ? "
"The court , I what you admit Is true ,

"AmI I have no rIghts to any property I

"Not as n live man. "
"But as a corpse ? "
"The 11roperty you left at the time oC your
.1eath t Is gone , In my opinion , has passed be-
yond rethemuiption. "
This strange dialogue took place In the
olcee or Judge Thomas Marshal between
the jUdge himself amid a client . who had
walked t nhlh' wihin , anti who hurried out ,
promising to return again for further en-
llgimtenniemtt.
The judge , was seen last night and staled
anl
that In time midst or other maters that com-
mandlrl his attention he had neglected to
procure his visior's ( name , and had listened
but Inatentvely , to the story he told

neglect his corresjldcnce , and no trace wan

Seven years elapsed and , under the law , the

to chronicle victories , too oren forced to
make the bet or needIest defeats : always
eager 10 beat my friendly n\1 able rivals at

tIme ceaseles fatigue and liberty and zest ot , '
action , made up something more than one at
life's epIsodes. They lifted lte out ot the

formed an indestructible gallery In the brain ,
ant still add to the worth or those memories

among those associated with him. But hIs
pUblc Came began I thInk , with accounts oC
the battle ot Williamsburg . Caught on tie
peninsula between the York and James rivers ,
the rth day oC lay , 1862. 1 chanced that I
witnessed his share In that tiny's victory and
I now recall what impressed me so much at :
yesterday. tbe time almost rs I It were a matter or
A nUDE BIVOUAC.
On Sunday , the 4th day of May , when Oen-
eral McClelan nt last was ready to bombarll L
Yorktown , Lngstreet's corps had skillfully
stolen away from that entrenched place and :
Its line or peninsular defense , and was retiring -
tiring on WIlamsburg with our advance
column In full pursuit. Dy nightfall our
cavalry . etc. , had fallen foul of the enemy's t
rear , discovered a new line or works stretchIng -
Ing across the Isthmus below Wiiamsburg ;
and suffered a slight check to the "recon-
naIssance In Corce. " Irurther progress was m
not atteunpted. The infantry bh'ouacke as
they came up. A drizzling rain began , In-
stoutly making the roads and fields almost L
Impassable with mIre. The troops , exhausted
and mostly ratonless , knew that a contest t
was booked for the nex' ey.
I say hey went Into bivouac , but what a
night of misery ! Those who could get tenet
rails or even stones to keep their blankets
anti themselves from sinking In the mud
were rortunate. No civilian Imows what
army mud Is. I often seemed as If the
tramping of men and horse , the passage or
artillery and wagons would male mire sink
holes In a road of sand. Dut Virginia mud
In the rainy spring or 1862 ! I Is untorget-
able. The open ground where our advance
haled was farm land , much or I ploughetl ;
miry wheat fields stretched near For t
Magruder . as the large earthwork In front o fa f
Wiiamsburg was called. Inrantry and horse
ale sank knee deep the day or the baUlo
and on thIs dismal precedIng night ever ) : y
soldier thought more ot his hunger , or the
eS
rain above and the mud below than or his
chances In Ito morrow's rray.
The battle or WiIamsburg was not ex -
acty "n soldier's battle , " but It was a ext
carrIed on by several commanders almost
independently or one another , McClelan not
arrIving on the field until the result was de -
citled. Early Monday morning the leafier
were at headquarters a well-to-do farm
house two miles from Wilamsburg and
separated by woods from the open ground
along the enemy's works. Hero were Gen I1
oral Sumner , that brave and stubborn veteran 1-
ran , the rankIng officer , wRit HeIntzelman , ,
Keyes Smih , Hooker oal various generals
at divisions and brigades. Here , also you
may be sure WEre we correspondents , wheat
at fuch crises made ourselves staff officer 3
hv brevet and nlumet ourselves on nermlt-
ting ( no order to go out , no important ; ve
to h taken without our knowledge and con-
sldera lon.
AN OPEN FIELD.
Detween headquarters and what was to be
the battlefield stretched a forest on either
side . the field itself being nn open plateau
two miles In length and hai a9 broad-
strikingly adapted for the traditonal panorama -
rama , now so obsolete , or n general engagt- ,
ment. Beyond the Carts the woods agaIn extended -
tended their cover opening only at the spot
through whIch WiIamsburg Is approached
Sluggish lt reams crossed by several dams
and rising near each other empted Into the
York river on our right and the James river
on our left , respectIvely. These , with theIr
marshes In the tangled thickness formed a
natural dcCense on each side or the conred-
crate redoubts.
Sumner was our ranking officer , It Is true ,
but on this day he certainly failed of his
Inherent vIgor , for he did nol succeed In enforcing -
forcing concerted action by the junior com-
nmanuiers. I remember that Keres' and
hooker's forces with some regular cavalry
and artillery , had come up anti were avail-
able-Ilerhaps 80,000 men In all . At day-
light picket firing began In time woods. I
was useless to advance directly upon the
formidable central earthwork Fort

dispersed by our men , anti In n few minutes
our guns were playIng on the great fort almost -
most at point blank range , and on the woods
through which the slrmlshers were relreat-

For n short time the clonds broke up In
this west and a flood , ot lght came over the
battieflelti . Wo saw the deserted redouhts

Cantry fire anti rng : clouds ot smolte over
Hooker's stumttort. Alt this composed a picture -
ture rarely seen slnco the days at oiti.fasiu-

eye and ! lrred the foul at one whose can-
ceplons of battle had bwn Cormed on the
history of eontnenl l anti American wars
anti the canvases ot Veret nHl Trumbull .
The sound , as veil as the pomp , ot glorious i
War was evident , and the "clrcumslance"
was close impentiimug. Onr batteries nrel I
vigorously for nut hour , the tort replyIng , anti
same casualties occurred along the line . Hut
our regiments as yet had little to do , and I
simply awaited orders .
The InCantr"s chance , however , was not
long coming , though preceded , late In time

ally betokenIng the declsl\C turn oC nn cn-

and his foe ceased firing . amid Fort Mn-

whether the enemy was falling back , or
making ready for a final ntael' In force
And then-n n suddcn-there Issued a bat

Taking oft his hate and speakIng In set

to the line oncers lJearpst him : "Read ) r , , .
now ! Gentlemen , It s oqr turn. Charge ! "
The word Instantly passed down the frau LL
and our whole Infantry line moved rorward
at double-quick. Before It closed wIth the
enemy his advance ceased , his ranks brole
In disorder and retreated at full run. Our
ful
men pursued as rapidly took some prisoners
and enjoyed a tow hand-to-hand encounters ,
alhough most or time "Johnnies" escaped Iti
the rear or their stronghold. Hut the feld
\Vllamsburg was won
ThIs little affair on the right , with Il
charge and Hancock's brilliant countercharge -
charge , was the decisive encounter of the
day. Or . course Il was made effective _ by Ui te
long l and frIghtful contest between hooKers
rorces and the maIn body at the encmy.
General Longstreet , seeIng himself now out-
flanked , evacuated Magr\der , retreated with
his i whole corps to antI straight through
WiIamsburg , abandoning that ancIent town
to our occupation. The next morning Gen-
eral McClellan's headquarters were In a spa-
cious mansIon on its main street. Other

Idly rcmember , the grief of its fiery commander -
mander as he reported himself at headquarters -
tars to his gentral-ln-chleC. Time tears rolled
down his sun.burnt cheeks while he com-
plalncd to McCelan or the useless sacri-
flees entailed by the delay to send him re-
InCorcements.
AN INSPIRING VICTOny.
But everyone was greatly Impressed by
time episode on the right , and by Hancock's
bearing In the field. McClelan justly said
In his dispatches that "Hancock was superb. "
The country took much heart front this bat-
tie , because I was now evident that the
Army or time Potomac had learned the trade
of war , and because the enemy had sur-
rendered the peninsula. From a military , .
point ot vnv , however Longstreet had suc-
ceedel In doing exactly vhat he wished ; haul '
covered the withdrawal oC Johnston's army
and its concentraton about nchmond ; had
delayed McClelan for many days at Yorktown -
town , and at Wilamsburg had got safely
away , after Inflicting even greater blows than
he received
General , Hancock , In time popular mind , remained -
mained the hero or the nghl , I Is ulienl-
able no less , that from that time onward
ho deserve the good fortune which always
seemed to gIve him slllendhl opportunities
anti that he could always be counted upon
to do all that might b come n central anti
heroic figure . 1 at Wilamsburg he made I
his first hilt In an enviable role , so he was
destncd nt Gettysburg , two years later , to
reach on Cemetery Idg ! the most dramatic
trIumph that can Ilerlltuato the rame or a
