Before again reaching the line of battle, Stevens' division, not- withstanding the loss of their General, had made a bold advance across the field, and had retired for lack of ammunition. By this time General Kearny's troops had been thrown forward under General Birney, and were engaging the enemy, the fight raging furiously. At this juncture, in the midst of the gathering dark- ness of the evening, an officer rode up and asked,
1107

" Who commands these troops ?"
I did not notice that he had but one arm, nor did I know at the moment that it was Kearny. I took him immediately to Lieutenant-Colonel Lecky, of the One Hundredth, who was com- manding the brigade.
"Colonel," exclaimed Kearny, "I want to put my battery just here. I want to know if you can support it."
To this the Colonel replied, stating his loss of officers and men, and lack of ammunition. Kearny did not stop to argue, but in- stantly turning to the ranks, cried out,
"Men! I want to put my battery on this ground : will you defend it ?"
A rousing cheer was the only response, and the General was satisfied that his guns would be safe. At this time I heard Lieutenant Critchlow express to Lecky a fear lest room had been left for the rebels to pierce our lines. Birney also reported to Kearny a gap on our right, when the latter put spurs to his horse and rode in the direction indicated, where, encountering some troops, he demanded who they were; discovering his mistake he turned to escape, and bent low on his horse to shun the fire, when one of the bullets showered after him pierced and ranged completely through his body, killing him instantly. He was alone and his fate unknown. General Birney, on whom the com- mand devolved, supposed him captured. Having repulsed the foe, the Union army withdrew next day towards Washington, when the enemy, taking possession of the ground, announced his death. Our corps left before day. Learning from Dr. Kimble, our division surgeon, that the ground was not to be held, I decided to remain with our severely wounded, for whose convey- ance to Washington no provision could be made. The wounded of our regiment had been moved to the farm house and barn near by, and in the orchard hundreds of men, separated from their commands, exhausted with the march and the fight, and wet to the skin, had kindled large fires from the neighboring fences. They were now in their blankets in the tired sleep which a sol- dier only knows. At about four in the morning, Dr. Kimble and myself went through the orchard and announced that every man would fall into rebel hands who remained, when full five hundred

started up, and in twenty minutes were on their way to Wash- ington. It was nearly eleven before the rebels appeared, and then but a few cavalry pickets ; afterwards a portion of a regiment of infantry. Colonel Tieman Brien, First Virginia cavalry, paroled us and gave me a pass to Washington. It was on the third day, near evening, that ambulances, under a flag of truce, arrived, and carried the first instalment of our wounded to Alex. andria. Our condition had been pitiable enough. Thirty-three of our wounded were dead. We had scarcely force enough to bury them. On the battle-field were more. I walked over it on Tuesday evening with Dr. O'Farrell, of a Massachusetts regiment. Our dead lay upon it. The rebel dead had been removed. Here and there the ground, hard beaten, showed where two lines oppo- site each other had encountered as foes in the darkness. Some of our men were stripped of their clothing, and as we advanced we met here and there a ragged pair of butternut pants, left by the Confederate, when he had hastily donned the blue of his fallen countryman ; and here and there we came across a mound that showed where burial had been given one of Jackson's men.
APTAIN WILLIAM HYNDMAN, a veteran soldier of the Fourth Pennsylvania cavalry, was wounded through the car and back of the head at Sulphur Springs, while acting with his regi- ment on the rear guard to the army in its retrograde to Centre- ville, on the 12th of October, 1863, and while lying insensible upon the field fell into the enemy's hands. He was a brave man, and had made many daring scouts. On being taken to the rear, he found himself in company with one hundred and fifty-six others of his regiment. The struggle had been a desperate one against vast odds and in a forlorn hope. With his companions he soon found himself incarcerated in Libby Prison, where the treatment was at its worst, and the suffering from the uncared-for wound intense. Believing that he would soon have to succumb to his misery if he much longer remained, he determined to make his escape. It was the practice of the prison officials to send a number each day to the cook-house on Eighteenth street, under guard, to labor. Seeking a companion, Corporal Alexander Wel- ton, a true man, who had been sadly gashed with sabre wounds,

he began trading for rebel caps and uniforms. Accoutring them- selves in all but caps, and throwing blankets about their shoul- ders, they watched their chance as they turned the corner of the street on their way to the work-house, handed their blankets to those in rear, donned their rebel caps, stepped from the ranks, faced about and sauntered back, whistling as they went, meeting the rear guard without exciting suspicion. They had taken Richmond without a battle. Passing out of the city, pausing to watch the workmen at the navy-yard, they made their way toil- somely towards the Union lines. Narrowly escaping capture from the enemy who discovered them upon the James, and enduring untold hardship in making their way over swollen streams, pools of mud and stagnant water, their wounds still open, they finally reached the National camps at Williamsburg, where they were joyfully received and tenderly cared for.
ENNY WADE, the heroine of Gettysburg, who sacrificed her young life in that great contest, will ever be regarded with tender emotions. When on the morning of the 1st of July, 1863, the battle opened, and the weary and wounded came pouring into town, this girl, with a heart moved to all tender accord, began to bake bread for the fainting and famished soldiers. When the day was ended, and the Union army was forced to abandon the place to the enemy with a great multitude of wounded, recognizing in them a common humanity, she continued her devoted labors. In the progress of the battle, the house where she was at work came in exact range between the two lines. She was admonished to leave, but she refused to heed the injunction, and continued to prosecute her labor of love and noble self-sacrifice. The battle raged furiously, and as the one side or the other surged to and fro over the plain, more imminent became her danger; but she was blind to the portents of destruction, and deaf to the awful voice of the storm, while the savory loaves steadily issued from her hands. In an evil hour, as the conflict came near and more near, an enemy's bullet pierced her pure breast, and she sank in death, pouring out her life-blood while ministering to the victims of the strife. Nearly coincident with her fall, a rebel officer high in rank perished near her dwelling, and his comrades prepared

for him a coffin; but before it was completed, the enemy. was obliged to retire, and the form of the maiden was laid therein in place of the rebel. A ballad, signed E. S. T., lamenting her fate and recounting in romantic strain her saintly deeds, soon after made its appearance, from which the following extract is given :
Beside a little streamlet, that sparkled clear and bright, Reflecting back in beauty the morning's rosy light, There stood a little cottage, so humble yet so fair, You might have guessed a fairy had found a refuge there.
There bloomed the sweet syringos, there blushed the roses red, And there the stately lily its rarest perfume shed ; Within that humble cottage there dwelt a maiden fair, And those who knew pronounced her the fairest flower there.
But to that lowly dwelling there came, one summer's morn, The muttering of the thunder, which told the coming storm : "Fly to your country's rescue !" the rousing tocsin said, "And sweep the base invaders to slumber with the dead."
. And Jennie's father heard it; her lover heard it too; And those intrepid freemen asked not what they should do ; They had no thought of keeping a coward watch at home, While sweeping through their country the rebel foes did come.
So calling to his daughter, the hardy yeoman said; . . . "I hear, my darling Jennie, the rebel foeman's tread ; And ere the strife is ended, I may be with the dead; May God in mercy keep you, and every blessing send, And should I fall, in William you'll find a faithful friend."
"And I, my darling Jennie," the gallant William said, " May in the coming conflict be numbered with the dead ; And yet," with trembling accents, and misty eyes, said he, "I only fear, my treasure, lest harm should come to thee."
"Fear not for me," she answered, " but I will breathe a prayer, That God will guide and cherish the lives to me so near ; And when the conflict 's over, come to this home so dear, And I will wait to welcome, and bless your coming here."
The summer days went gliding in golden circles by, And Lee's impetuous army to Gettysburg drew nigh ; The fierce and bloody conflict swept through that region fair, Yet still heroic Jennie dwelt in the cottage there.
And while her heart was aching lest those she loved were dead, Her plump and rosy fingers moulded the soldier's bread. " Fly ! fly ! heroie maiden," a Union soldier said,
" For through this vale there sweepeth a double storm of lead."

INCIDENTS.
Then spoke the fearless Jennie : "I fear not for my life, My father and one other are in that deadly strife ; I may not fight beside them, but ne'er shall it be said, While they were battling for me, I feared to bake their bread."
Loud and more loud thundered the crimson tide of war, And thick and fast the bullets swept through the summer air, And one (some fury sped it) pierced Jennie's faithful breast, And laid its throbbing pulses for evermore to rest.
The bloody day was over, and thousands slept there dead, Who on that summer morning swept by with martial tread ; Among them Jenie's father in death's embraces lay, But William passed unwounded through all that fearful day.
And so with hurried footsteps he sought the cottage door, But oh ! no Jennie met him with welcome, as of yore. He crossed the humble threshold, then paused in horror there; There lay his heart's best treasure -- so cold, so still, so fair !
"Oh God !" he cried in anguish, " what fiend hath done this decd ? Would I had died in battle, ere I had seen her bleed : Alas! alas! my darling ! no words of welcome come, For cold in death sweet Jennie awaits for me at home.
" For this (oh ! hear me heaven) my eye shall never fail, My hand be true and steady to guide the leaden hail : A force more strong than powder each deadly ball shall urge- The memory of the maiden who died at Gettysburg."
And now all bravely battling for freedom and for life, Whene'er the bugle soundeth to call him to the strife, He remembers that fair maiden, all cold and bloody laid, And strikes with dread precision, as he thinks of JENNIE WADE.
