Are tbo guns lipijtr the house ? " "Ah , you bayoj been over this road before Dlrocy jat the house " And it larrUflcossary to engage them ? The order is imperative ! 1" His voice wasrhjjsky and broken Ho was visibly pajlijr The colonel was astonished und ' , niorMficd Ho stele a glance at the cpmraander In-Jhat im mobile face tvasa uo sign ; it was as hard as bronze , A iiudmout later ho rode silently tvway JdlrOwed by his staff and escort The colbn61 , humiliated and in dignant , was about to order Captain Coulter in nrro twhou the latter spoke a low words ina , ww tone to his bugler , saluted and rodai straight lorwnrd.into the Notch , where , shortly at the summit ot the road , his Held glass at his eyes , ho showed against the Bky , ho und his hprwj , sharply defined and motionless as an equestrian statue , The bugler had dashed dpwn the road in the op posite diroctlbn at headlong speed and disappeared around the corner Pros outly his bugle waa heard singing in the cedars , und in an incredibly short time a single gun vrjlh its caisson each , drawn by six horses and manned by its lull complement of gunpera , came bounding und banging up the grade in storm of dust , unlunborod under cover and was run lorward by band to the tutal crest among the dead horses A gesture ol the captains arm , some straugoly agile mot omenta of the mon in loading , und almost before the troops ulong the way had Qonsed to hear tbo rattle ot the wheels u great white cloud sprang forward down the declivity , and with a sharp shock which turned up the whlto ot the forest leaves like a storm , the AlTalrat Coulter'sNotoh had begun It is not intended to relate in detail the progress and incidents ot thnt ghastly contest acontost without vicis situdes , its alternations only dlfforotit degrees ol despair Almost nt the in stant when Captain Coulters gun blow its challenging cloud six nnsworing clouds rolled upward from among the trees about the plantation house , a tloop multiple report roared back like a broken ooho , and thenceforth to the end the federal cannoniors fought their hopeless battle in an atmosphere of liv ing iron whoso thoughts were light nings and whoso dcodsMverc death Unwilling to bco the efforts which could not aid nnd tbo slaughter which ho could not stay , the colonel hnd as cended the rldgo nt a point a quarter ot a milo io the left , whence thu Notch , itscjt invisible but pushing tin succes sive masses of smoke , scorned tlto crater ot a volcano in thundering eruption With , Is glass ho watched the enemy's guns , noting as bo could the effects of Coulter'sflro ' If Coulter still lhcdto direct it IIo saw that the federal guti- iiursigtioiiiig ; the enomy's plocoswhoso position could bo determined by their suiolco only , gave their whole attention to the ono which maintained its place in the open the lawn in front of the house , with which it was accurately In ltho Over and about that hardy ploco the shells exploded at intervals of a low seconds " Some exploded in the house , as could bo soon by thin ascensions of smoke from the breached rnoT Figures 6t prostrate mon and hoiscs were plainly visible "If our follows are doing such good work with a slnglo gun , " said the general oral to an aldo who happened to bo nearest , "thov must bo sulTorlng like Iho devil from six Go down and present the coinmiudor of that ptoco my congratulations ou the accuracy of his flro " Turnimr to his adiutant sronoral hn said : Did \ou ohsorvo Coulters damned reluctance tooboy orders ? " Yes , sir , I did " ! WelL say nothing about it , please I dent think the general will care to make any accusations IIo will prob ably have enough to do in explaining his own connection with thlsuncommon way of amusing the rear gutud of a retreating onoiny " Colonel " said the , adjutant general , "I dent know that I ought to say any thing , but there is something wrong in all this Do you hnppon to know that Captain Coulter is from the south ? " "No ; was ho , iudood ? " "I heard that last summer the divis ion which the general then commanded was iu the vicinity of Coulters home camped there for weeks and " "ListenI" said the colonel , interrupt ing with an upward gesture "Do you hear that ? " That was the silence of the federal gun The staff , the orderlies , the lines of infantry behind the crest all had heard , " and wcro looking curiously in the direction of the crater , whence no smoke now ascended except desultory cloudlets from the enemy ' sshells Then came the blare of a bugle , a faint rattle of wheels ; a minulo later the sharp re ports recomroonced with double activ ity The demolished gun hud boon re placed with a souud ono Yes , ' ! said the udjutant-gonoral , re suming his nurrativo , the general made the acquaintance of Coulters family There was trouble I dent know the exact uaturoof It something about Coulters wife She is a red-hot secessionist , as they all are , except Cottltop himself , but she is a good wifot and highbred lady There was a com plaint to army headquarters The gen oral was transferrodto this divibion It is odd that Coulters battery should have afterward been assigned to it " The colonel had risen from the rock upon which they hud been sitting His eyes wore blazing with a generous in dignation " See hero , Morrison , " said he , look ing hisgossipingstaffolflcerin the lace , "dldyou-got that story from a gentle man era liar ? " "I dent want to say how I got it , colonel , unless it is necessary ho was blushing a trifle "butI'll stake my lifo upon its truth in the main " The colonel turned toward a small knot of olllcors some distnnco away Lieutenant Williams ! " ho shouted Ono of the officers detached himself from the group , and coming forward saluted , saying : Pardon me , colonel , I thought you had boon inforraod Williams is dead down there by the gun What can I do , sir ? " Lieutenant Williams was the aid who had had the pleasure of convoying to the officer in chnrgo of the gun his brigade commanders congratulations "Go , " said the colonel , and direct the withdrawal of that gun instantly Hold ! I will go myself " IIo strode down the iloclivity toward the rear of the Notch at a breakneck pace , over rocks and through brambles , followed bv his little retinue in tumult uous disorder At the foot of the de clivity they mounted their waiting ani mals and took to the road at a lively trot round a bond and into the Notch The spoctaolo whiah they encountered there was appalling Within that ucliol , barely tnoad enough lor a single guu , wore pllod the wrecks of no fewer than lour they had tiotod the bllencing of only the last ono disabled The debris lay on both sides of the road : the iron had managed to keep an open way between , through which tno fifth piece was now IIring The men ? they looked like demons of the pit !
