It was instantly crowded by poverty stricken with baskets, bro ken spout coffeepots, bottles and tin iiid.i to curry away solid provisions. soup and coffee.

Copyright, liS3. by Charles B. Lewis. When the Thirteenth was brigaded, with us. everybody spoke in praise of its rank aiM tile. .No better material could have been found in America. A ouple of weeks, however, showed, the colonel to be an egotist and a drunk ard, and few of the company or regi mental officers seemed anxious to give him credit for anything outside. One day the regiment came out to relieve the Fourth on outpost duty. At mitlafteruooii a bund red Confeder ate cavalry, divided into squads of tweiity-nve, attacked four full compa nies of the Thirteenth at about tin same moment. One discharge of their carbines, followed by a grand yell, did the business in each instance. The same loo cavalry then fell ujmiii the reserve of tioo men and routed them at a dash. One thousand men were lieaten. routed a ltd disgraced by Uh i. The colonel called his otiicers to gether and said they must give the men double drill and that in the next tight they must shoot down any man who tried to make a bolt for it. And the captains got their respective com panies out on the parade ground and looked savage and swelled out their chests and shouted: "You are a laughing stock in this brigade. You have had two or three chances to win glory, but you have run away like beaten curs. In our next tight I will shoot the man who even turns pale." And yet every private in every com pany remembered that when he ran away he followed his three otiicers and was not able to overtake them. A month later, at 1J o'clock one summer morning, our brigade swung iiito bat tle line on the left center. It stretched across a cotton field, with its right and left connecting in the woods with oth er brigades. The lighi began far above us. That meant waiting, and it is the waiting that makes cowards of brave men. Down the lines of tlie Fourth, Sev enth and Eighth went the company otiicers to brace up the men who were not cowards, but yet losing their nerve in the waiting, but over in the Thir teenth it was different. The otiicers were at the regulation distance in rear of the lines, and the men had nobody to brace them up. To talk to each other only made matters worse. We were -quite prepared for what happened knew that it would happen. Of a sudden the enemy opened lire on our front with artillery, and as the iirst shell exploded in the ranks of the Thirteeuth the whole l.utKt men broke back like a tlock of frightened sheep. A second shell completed the business, and there was a stampede which car ried them a mile to the rear. The gap was closed up. and the battle went on, but the Thirteenth could not be rallied again that day. Three days later the major general said to the officers and men on parade: "I know the history of the Thirteenth since its first skirmish. You are a dis grace to your state, to the army and to yourselves. I shall recommend that the regiment be wiped out of existence." tin the morning that the order of disbaiidment arrived from Washing ton the Thirteenth was in charge of a senior captain, ami some of the com panies were in charge of orderly ser geants. A Confederate column, which had cut loose and marched by night through the fields and woods, suddenly burst out of the woods Upon the scat tered camps along the river. The sur prise was compiete, and without a check the enemy came sweeping down the stream. The Thirteenth turned out. but there were no officers to give them orders. They were cowards and had always run away. .V few had already started on this occasion, when there came the sound of hoof beats from tlie west, ami a woman rode intc camp.' She was hardly above twenty years old. fair haired and handsome and probably the wife of some I'nion officer from the cnnips above. Every man thrilled as she pulled up her horse and cried out: "Men. they are making a stand up there by the ford, and if you'll joiu them the enemy can be checked and driven back." "We'll go we'll go! Fall in--fall in!" shouted the men in chorus, after an in stant's silence, and five minutes later every mau liad hi' musket and car tridge liox and companies were being formed tip the road crowded with white facet! fugitives, and yet never a man of the Thirteenth fell out. There was no officer to lead them, but the j woman rode .-thead and turned now and then to smile and lie;-kon them on. A round shot plowed up the dirt near by. but she gave no heed. A shell burst against a tree a few yards away and filled the air with splinters, but she did nm turn her had. The bullets came thicker and thicker, but sue neiti her way until a line of blue sudden!;. came moi view atul theti wavea ner hand and said: "Right down there, comrades, is where they need you. and after today no man will call tlie uurteentn a regi ment of inwnnlsl" "Hip hip hurrah!" and a swinging nf caps and a dash forward. The blue richting line was strengthened not a moment to soon. The enemy burl! shell and grape he poured volley after vol lev he charged again and again. but tie line stood firm and cheered as it stood. It ivm a light of an hour be fore re-enforcemcnts came up.
