THE DAILY BEE-THURSDAY JViAV 31 ,
SEEK
health and avoid sickness.
Instead of feeling tired and
worn out , instead of aches
and pains , wouldn't you
rather feel fresh and strong ?
You can continue feeling
miserable and good for no
thing , and no one but your
self can find fault , but if you
are tired of that kind of life ,
you can change it if you
choose.
How ? By getting one
bottle of BROWN' IRON BIT
TERS , and taking it regularly
according to directions.

It is well for us from time to time to re
vive the recollections of there eventful
Jays , Nations ai well as Individuals , yec ,
ivon more than Individuals , are prone to
forget the teachings of the past , 1'ast
favors , past trials are allks consigned to
oblivion , crowded out of mind by the
pressing events of the present hour , Be
fore the attack on Delhi , during
THKOIIEAT KUTINT
In British India , the soldiers of the En *
irtlsh army wore promised all contained
therein in the way of booty. After the
nisitult nnd capture this wa denied them ,
Ooo nf the soldiers cut with tbo point of
bis bayonet on a stone at one of the Rates
of the city the following verse :
"When war Is rlfo and danger ulgb ,
'God , and the soldiers' all the cry ;
When wr.r Is o'er and danger righted ,
God Is forgot , the soldier slighted. "

: ostly sacrifice of life on the battle holds ,
.homtntal and tbo physical anguish of the
irleon pen and the hospital , all that was
lone , endured and suffered to save our
clorlous land from disruption , would in
time have faded from the minds of men ,

ble Is this memorial to thoie who from our

count their deeds wo cannot fall to recall
the object for which tboy died and bo to-
nowedly Impressed by the lesson of pat
riotism to our country , fidelity to the
right , and valor In Its defence they silently
teach. Treason Is a crime , and the soph-
Idtry of men cannot make it n virtue. Lol
us remember that while we are enjoined
by holy writ to forgive the sinner wo are
nowhora told to condone the tin. Let ua
honor the bravery , the magnificent fight
ing qualities of tbo soldiers of the confed
eracy , but lot us remember to profit there

Through suffering and finally through
lilood the Almighty brought Israel out of
Egypt , and that the lesson of
THAT AWFUL NIOHT
when Pharaoh's robolllon against the Lord
received Its final punishment in tbo death
of the first-born of every Egyptian house-
lold , should not be forgotten , the annual
roast of the pansovor was established lu
* ts commemoration , and to porpetiuto the
capon of punishment nnd delivery. The
Lord said unto Mores , "And , it shall be

expect to keep alive , nud through our sons
to hand down to remote generations the
memory of our honored dead.
Nnpoloon proclaimed to his voterann as
.hoy stood on the sands of Egypt , "From
ihe top of those pyramid's ' forty centuries
nok down upon you , soldiers of France , "
To all who claim n heritage In this broad
and cornea a proclamation from the
mighty host of patriot dead , whoso names
ire written on the pyramid of liberty
juilt of their bones and cemented with
their blood , "stand fast in the liberty
wherewith we have made you free. " The
fame of those who died In the war of the
rebellion was not won in any common
strife ; the cause In which they gave up
their lives was the grandest that ever en
nobled war. What was it but to save
from deatructlon the life of the nation ; to
preserve the constitution DS founded by
the fathers of the republic ; to secure the
advancement of Obrlitian civilization ;
the progress of mankind towards the
attainment of tbo htghent personal liberty
consistent with the well being of general
society ! Tbo soldiers of the republic ,
whoso memories wo honor to-day , fought
to suppress a rebellion born of the bar
barism of slavery and consumatod In violence
lence and fraud.
THE MEN WHO KLL
In the swamps of the peninsula , in the
forests that cover the bluffs of the Cum
berland and the Tennessee , and that sick
ened | to death In the inhospitable region
that lines tbo Mississippi , were
defending the constitution of the United
States , The martial valor.of our soldier was
diiplayed at Vloksburg and Gettysburg
that the starry banner that symbolized a
united nation should not be trailed in the
duit. Their courage and devotion WPG
shown at Antletam and Jonetboro as well
as on the slopes of Ohlckamaugas ridge
and A thouiand other fields that the free
Institutions which are the strength and
ornament of our land should not die amid
the billows of a rebellion that was sapping
their foundations. ,
It Is not elvon to all men who heir arms
to fight in BO righteous a cause as led these
d sad heroes to the field. The mass of our
soldiers volunteered from pure patriotism.
They felt themielves to be out Instruments
In the Lord's hand to do a righteous work ,
They died that they might build around
the temple of liberty an impregnable de
fense , and their gravee scattered as they
are from the L'otomao to the gulf were
nade to form a breastwork against the
onset of those who would destroy the
Union and the Constitution on which it is
based , The soldiers of the Union were so
permeated by the sense of loyalty to the
government of our common country that
they were willing to pay the greatest price
man can pay In order-In the words of Mr ,
Linco'n"that ' a covorument ° f the pee
pip , by the people , and { for the people
should uot perish from the earth , "
The scones that occurred cm that Apr !
day In the year 1801 , when the roar o !
Humptor'n cannon aroused tbo north from
Its dream of peace , nud called horn Mr ,
Lincoln n proclamation asking tbo elates
for 70COO men and appealing to
AIL LOVAL CITIZENS
to favor , facilitate , and aid this effort tc
maintain the honor , Integrity and existence
of our national union , are Indelibly Im
presjed upon the memories of those wtu
witueesod them. From the pulpit and tin
judge's bench , from the workshop and tin
farm , from the college and thojmarts o
trade , men came in answer to tha presl
dent's call. Questions long pending wen
at last to be submitted to the stern arbi
trament of war. Half a score of states hat
proclaimed their detennination to leavi
the Union to establish tbo creed of seces
slon. It was a vast power with military
organization directed by educated soldier
of no mean name or note. Like thunde
from A clear sky carce the news that wa
was upon us ; that tha falsa doctrine o
ccesslon was to besupporteihy the sword ,

active sympathy < > ( those mothers , wlvoi
and rislers aided In the accomplishment
of this noble work for the records of the
'brlsll&n and sanitary commissions bear
upright testimony , There was not a town

oldlcr wan not K ° ! ug on ; not a regiment

irnnco. Every knapsack contained some-

lid It under circumstances to lest their

from the thunder of battle was wanting ,
lot mo attempt to sketch for you nn episode
la the unwritten history of the army of the
Potomac.
During the winter of 18G3-4 , tha army
of the Potomac lay in cantonment south of
the Happahannock river and on the line of
the Orange nnd Alexandria railway , with
Brandy Station near the center of the line.
'Iho forces of the * nomy known aa the
artny of Northern Virginia under the com
mand of General Robert K. Lee , occupied
tbo wooded heights south of the Kapldan
In the latter part of the mouth of Novem
ber , General Meade commanding the
Union forces , Inaugurated a movement
having for Itn object the turning of Leo's
right IIink and a lodgement at Orange
Court llouto ( and Cordcnsvllle , If not a
movement on Richmond. Thlj operation Is
KNOWN IN 1II3TOHV
as the Mine llun campaign. Tboarmvsuc-
ceedeJ lu crossing the lltpldan and began
its march through the narrow tracks
mlenamcd roads that thrinded the
dense foreats called tbo Wilderness.
The advance of MoiJo'a army wus
soon engaged with the enemy and
a hot tight known an the battle of
Locust Grove only closed with nightfall ,
when the enemy retired , It was evident
the rebel army was not to be surprised ,
During tbo next day continual skirmish
ing showed a determination to contest
every foot of ground About the middle
of the afternoon the sixth corps came upon
the enemy In force on the bills covorlng
tbo valley and stream known as Mine
llun. An officer of my acquaintance
holding a command lu the second division
o ( that corps commanded the odvane
during that day ai well as the previous
one , Following the enemy's retiring skir
mishers , his force had debouched from the
woodi , and an night fell ho saw tbo rebel
line fall back upon the strong works ,
[ ringing and crowning the hills upon the
opposite side of a narrow valley. There
was just tlmu before dark to make dispo
sition of the pickets and to closely recon
noitre the formidable position in front.
Tha winter night closed lu with a clear
sky , a bright moon and a keen , frosty air.
About 11 o'clock that night the officer re
ferred to was summoned to report at the
headquarters of the corps. A brisk ride of
mile through the pine forests brought
him to a spot where a number of the regi
ment and brigade commanders were cs-
lamblm ) , standing In groups about a bright
fire , A general officer w&s walking back
and forth before the fire with folded arms
and thoughtful countenance. The scene
was most picturesque and striking. The
jrlght firellghtthetrowd of uniformed fig
ure ? , the dark shale of the surrounding
evergreens , through whlob came the noise
of ro'tlcia horses and the occasional gleam
of the accoutrements of tbo mounted or-
iorlies ani tscorU of the officers asaein-
> led. whllo above In the clear sky sailed
he full moon , tipping with silvery light
, he frosty tree tops.
A HUBII OF EXPECTATION
lung over the assembly , a few words of
{ rooting to Homo late-comer was the only
ionversattnn hoard. What did the meet-
ng mean ? What movement was In con
templation ? No ono ventured a surmise
or cared to ask , At last an officer spoke
; o the general , probably telllnr him that
all the officers summoned were present.
Suddenly pausing in his walk and by a
gesture of his hand calling the groups to-
rotlier ho said , "Gentlemen , General
Heado has resolved to attack the enemy
.o-morrow upon both ihnki at the same
time , and to attempt the capture of his
works upon this his loft flank , by assault
to bo madefy part of the sixth cbrpp , to
be formed in mass. Tiioao of you who
know the enemy's position know.tbis will
be au arduous undertaking ; it is absolutely
noco'sary for success that the batteries in
the front line of the enemy's works be
captured and the line bo held at least un
til the messed corps bos descended the hill
on'thla side crossed the meadow at its foot
and passed over the marehy brook with
Iti abrupt and broken banks. To carry
this line will require an impetuous attack ;
it must bo taken if it costs every man in
the assault. As this is in the nature of a
forloru hope I ask for a volunteer to com
mand the troops to do this work. " A num
ber of dtllcors Immediately stepped to the
front. My friend , who already held the
advance , justly claimed the duty and was
assigned to It , A few words of general in
struction and tha assembly scattered , Tbo
next three hours were busy ones. Two
regiments of well established reputation ,
both Yankee of the bluest blood , tried
New England men from Maine and Ve--
inont , men hardened and keen-edged as
the trusty b.ade of tempered steel wrought
Into shape by the fire and hammer of war ,
were selected. These regiments are to be
placed in position so close to
THE KNKSU'S TICKETS
that In a moment after the advance is
sounded they wHl be on them and capture
or surprise them at nblosv. There mnst
bo no halt or hesitation , no slop or check
to tbo on-rush , The intelligence that
charrcterlzed the mass of our soldiery wan
specially marked in three well-triad men ,
The brief Instructions are understood and
tbo details of a military movement rarely
practiced on the drill ground , hut owing
to th provident care of the officers of
that command known to tbodolio bad to
UBO It , U so carefully executed that the
Hue Is deployed And placed lu position
within one hundred yards of tha creek
upou whose further bank the enemy's
pickets were posted all this under tba
bright rays of full moon nud In tlie open
ground on the edge of the timber that 11
this point on the union side comes to the
brow of the nlnj'0. The woods to the
right and left are hero and there broken
by either meadow or cultivated fields.
From the eilge of the woods the hill slopes
abruptly , with a descent of about fifty feet
to the valley below ; from the foot of the
slope the ground Is level to the creek
Mills Hun , a tiuall stream winding with
abrupt turns through the valley. The
bauUk are high and broken ; the stream ba
cut through the soft meadow land until its
bed Is from six to eUnt feet In uuny
places below the general surface. It la
known that the baaks ara overhanging ,
only hold in placi by tne thick nod on the
surface , ready to crumble and fall with
touch , Beyond the stream a hundroc
yards of level meadow lay , them tbo hill
Ites sharpty for full fire hundred feet ,
sloping Lack for three hundred more , less
steeply. Three lines of brcaitworks can
; o plainly triced by the light of flickering
camp-fires. The first Una U at the foot of
thn hill , skilfully plnctd to sweep the level
ground In front with
AIlTlLlKIrt ANI ) 1NPANTBY HUE.
Tim hum of voices can bo hoard in the
still frosty air , and the occasional rumble
of artillery wheels on the frozen ground
tolls that movement ore afoot. Half way
up the bill sparkles of light glancing
through thn trees mark a second position ,
while the flash ot bivouac fires beyond and
higher shows the hill ii covered with
armed men to Iti very crown , i ollowlng
the summit of the ridge the eye om trace
the rebel line to their left and roar until
it Is lost in the dlUinco , The military
iroblnm to be solved In the morning h to
jet down the hill Into the creek , up Its
muddy , slippery banks on the other side ,
dlspcreo the robcl picket line , cross the
open ground under , it may be , n heavy
fire of artillery at short range , and make a
otlgment within the enemy's first Hue.
AU'thii muit be done or the -nanred troops

hindcannot hone to cross the open ground ,
the broken bants of the miry etreum , gain
; ho foot of the foot tf the hill and deploy
for further work on the linen beyond ,
without sorloui loss aud possible derange
ment of the p ons. So close was my friend
to the enemy's poiltlon and so bright the
moonlight that a half dozen or more batter
ies could be canted forty or fifty guns at
least covered the llttlo. meadow. Will
enough men live to get through and engage
the enemy at close quarters , masking the
movement In rear ? A few hundred yards
back of the crest of tbo hill on the Union
olde , and under the friendly shelter of the
deneo pine woods 15,000 men were massed
In close column of attack ; brigade behind
brigade , divi ! on behind division , one
could have walked from front to rear of
the mighty mass upon the head * of the
men , The whole force was consolidated
Into a body a few hundred yards square.
The
ATTACK WAS TO BE IfADE
In the early morning , the signal to be
glyon from the headquarters of the army ,
some three miles away , ono gun , then after
aa interval In which ono could count
five In quick time , two shots in quick suc
cession. The hours pass on , tbo cold In
creased as the night grow old ; none but
those 1 ke you , my comrades , who have
passed the ordeal know of the tension of
nerve that comes at such a time ; each man
of that line lying without a blanket or
cover in the frost covered-grasp , is alone
with his thoughts , for not a word can be
spoken to comrades close at hand , for it
may betray bis poaltion to the wakeful foe.
The grey light comes m the east ; it grows
broader and brighter and the time Is at
hand the time his come , why is not the
signal given ? Precious moments are being
wasted ; the oar Is strained to c tch the ex
pected boom ot the signal gun ; the enemy
is stirridg in hla camps ; In the Increasing
light the lines ran be Been swarming with
men ; every momoiit Increases the danger
of discovery , An hour , beyond the up-
pointed time the silence is at last broken
by the boom of a heavy siege piece : it is
ttje expected signal ; ono two three
four five , then comes boom I boom !
Swinging himcelf into tbo saddle , my
friend , the commanding officer , said to the
expectant bugler at his side , "Sound the
advance ! " With the tiut notes the bravo
fellows , who for many hours have laid on
tbo cold earth with the murcnry below the
freezing point , spring to their feet , and
without a word or inspiring shout , rush
Forward over the slope , over the few yards
that measures the meadow's width , into
the creek and over the si ni tied picket * lin
ing the farther bank. The line deployed ,
but with close intervals , rushes on ; the ad
vance is Irreslstable ; the prospect of suc
cess gladdens everv heart ; in a moment
more the troops will have reached the first
breastworks , and no far
HCARCB A. H1IOT
has been firedwhen from tbo woods In the
rear rushes a mounted officer , shouting as
be swings his hat , ' Gome backl Come
backl" The attack is abandoned ; it is an
old of the commanding ceneral , and the
order must be obeyed. The bugle soundIng -
Ing the retreat seemed to call the started
enemy to his senses , and springing to his
guns he sent destruction into the gallant
ranks falling back. It Is not for mo to tell
atthlflUme , why the elgnal wus delayed
wax at Vht given and then BO speedily
followed by the recall. My purposs U
accomplished in bringing to the minds of
the veterans before me a plctn.ro from the
panorama of the war. Success or failure
should uot influence too greatly our esti
mate of the culijtod meu who bore a part
in events such as these ; the purpose was
ever the name to follow the call of duty
whatever the end might be- Untoward
ovontB might cause the shipwreck of m ny
a fair scheme of skillful generals ; defeat
might come as It sometimes did in place cf
cheering victory , but fidelity to duty ,
courage in the hour of trial and patience
with hopefulness over marked the mass of
our army.
Another sketch h the great battle ol
Antletam , fought September 17tb , 1862 , I
trust will be of Interest. The gray light
of the coming day begins to dawn ; during
the darkncsi the contending armies have
drawn together until with th Increasing
light the men can see the opposing line ,
within rhort musket range. The dropping
fire of the infantry begins to play rovolllo
along tbo Hue ; a battery of light guns Is
pushed to the front beyond the centra !
wood , over a plowed fiald near the top ol
the slope where tha corn-field begins. On
this open field in the corn , and in the
woods beyond , is to bo enacted the deadly
scenes of the uay. The scattered fire ol
an infantry skirmish swells into
A CONTINUOUS ROAB ,
accented by the thundering base
of the field artillery ( as battery after
battery comes Into play. Within half an
hour the steady discipline of our men be.
gan to tell ; the enemy's line begins to
sway back and forth like the pulsations of
some huge animal. The movement is
noted and "forward men , forward ! " comes
the command , and with ringing cheers on
go our lines , ' .the colors of the regiments
well advanced and gleaming fitfully
through the battle smoke. Tha retreating
enemy leaves the ground thickly covered
with dead and wounded men as back the
broken masses go across the cornfield ,
over the fences and stone walls , pest the
sunken road , through the stream and into
the dark woods wbloh cloees about them ,
The Union troops follow with increasing
speed until they fling themselves against
the woods Into which the beaten enemy
has disappeared. But suddenly one ot
the Incidents common to war and that
marks the uncertainty of battle changes
the aspect of affairs ; from out those groves
como terrific valleys of musketry and the
crash of artillery volleys that smote ami
broke the compact front , tearing huge
caps through the advancing lines and
checking the onward rush , The Union
officers clopo up their shattered lines ,
brigades dwindle to scarce a regiment's
strength , the division cannot count the
tota | of itu weakest brigade , but steadfast
whore they stand the survivors hold the
ground apuiunt tbeeo fresh rebel troop * .
The enemy is now advancing , pouring his
long lines of reserves aver the fiolib from
which ho ban so lately retired. It ia a
