Tho averago citizcu knows littlo
about tho magnitude of our modern
sbipa of war, or of the procesaes by
which they are opornted. Very illu
minating, therefore, is tbo following
bit of description by a correspondcnt
of. Leslie's Weekly, writing from Old
Point Comfort:
llotiring timo on board a man-of-war
is early, becauao of tho early risiug
hour and the arduouB labor of tho day,
and at nino o'clock very nearly all tho
men, except tho few on watch, have
retired. It was ehortly after nino
o'clock on the flagship Urooklyn.
Forword, the hamtnocks wero swing
iin;, rocked gently by the roll of tho
ship. In tho word-room flvo or six
ofllcers aat reading, chatting and smok
ins. On tho quarterdcck Lieutcnant
Doylo paced to an" fro in silenco,
while in tbeir rospecitv'e cabins Com
modore Scbley and Capt. Cook and ox
ccutive ofllcer Liout-Comdr. Mason sat
awaiting a call that thoy alono knew
would bo made. Tho ship, sleeping on
tho bosom of the occan, is in port drces
aud not strippcd for actiou.
"A steamer's smoko on tho port
bowl" report8 the man at lookout on
tho bridge.
"All right. Can you mako hor out?"
answera the ofllcor of the deck.
"A man of-war, slr," anBwers tho
lookout.
"Messongor, tell tho captnin and Mr.
Mason," quietly responda Mr. Doyle.
Mr. Mason comea on deck, and, with
Mr. Dojle, watches the boat through
glaSBOB.
"Call tho muaicinuB," saya Mr. Ma
Bon, sharply, to tho messenger, und tho
muaicinuB como. Slill thc big ship and
its inmates aleop, still tho oilicers in
tho wardroom chnt aud omoke, while
others have alrendy retired. btill Mr.
Mason and Mr. D yle kecp the glasses
up.
"Sound the call lo generalquartersl"
8ajB Mr. Mason, and tbo drum rolls a
diapason to tho trumpet'B shrill treblo.
Thon comca a trausformation that
knows no equal for its auddenncss of
action and shifting of Bceno. From
tho quartcrs pour forth men dressing
themBelves aa they come, never wait
incr for bIiocb or Btockings. Tho airen
shrioks forth its weird steam blast, the
big gong clangs, tbe drum rolls, and
before their clamor has ceased its ccbo
every part of tho Bhlp, from the deptha
of the hold to tho top of tho military
maat, is lllled with active. bustling
men. From both forward and aft
bridtreB tho bricht Bearch-lichtB have
begun to work, and tho rest of the fleet
have, qulckor, aimost, tnan tnougnt,

"I shall always remember ono illus
tration of this troit which I noted at a
very cxcltlng nnd criticol moment of a
battlo during our civil war. In order
to save eomo of our infantry from bclng
surrouuded and captured thecoramand
or of ono of our batterics quickly
mountcd tho cannoneera on tbo guns
and put tbo wbolo battcry at a dcad
gallop across a atretch of meadow about
half a milo widc. I was quilo occus
tomcd to auch eiglits; but when that
dnshing company wns half way across
tho flold I noticcd tho inspiring orrny,
and for a moment was lost in rapt nd
miratlon of tbe niagniflccnt picturo.
Every driver was plying whipandBpur,
the grcat guns wcre rocking and thun
dering ovor tho ground, and every
horso reeking with foam and full of
animation and excitemcnt, was straiu
ing ovory musclo as ho galloped for
ward, yet a straight lino drawn along
in front would havo touched tho noBcs
of tho lcad horsea in front of tbo aix
guna. That waa an arlillery charge,
one of tbe moat thrllling sigbta in the
ovolutiona of tho war.
"It i8 surprising how quickly borses
lcarn the buglo cnlls. Lot the flrat
note of the fecd or water call be souud
cd, and iiiEtantly there will bo a atamp
ing, kicking and noighing araong tho
horacB, Oncc during a tcrriblo nigbt
storm iu camp, our horsea wero aeized
witb auch terror that thoso of nearly
ovory batlory broko loose and Bcattered
about. The next morning there was a
wild rush among tho artillerymen to
catch tho horsps for ueo. All waa ex
citcmont, at d tbe horsea rcfused to bo
caught. Au ofllcer ordored tho bugler
to give the fced call. Horsos from
every diicction camo dasbing in to
tbnt battcry, aud thc rush was so great
thnt it wus' with difllculiy the men could
get out of thc way of the eager horaes.
"When it comes to a battlo a horse
Bctms to know everything that is going

j his duly nobly. He entcrs into tho
I apirit ol n bnttlo like a huuian beiui:.
Ho pbows 110 fcarof dcatb, no sign of
being ovorcome by pauicln all the wild
, tumult of tbe battle's roar. A horso in
one of our batterics during tLo Mur
freeBboro flghl was hit by a ahell,
which split his Bkull so that one aidc
waa loosened. The driver turued him
loose, but he wolked up to tho eide of
tho gun and watchcd tho flring, and
when a ehot was flred follrw it with his
cdzo ns if to note ita cffect on tbo eue
my. When a shell would burst ncar
by bo would turn his hend and look at
it. When he Baw the team he had
worked with being driven back for am
munition bo ran to his old plncc and
cralloned back wilh the rest. When an
officerlpuahcdibimlasidc tohave another
horse put in, gazeu at tno now ono witn
a most 8orrowful oxprcssion in his
oyes. Then he seemcd to realize that
tho clory of battlo waB no more for
him. and he wolked away and lay down
and died. The ofllcer declared that it
was a broken beart not the wound,that
killed him.
'During a florco charge of Confcd-
erate cavolry at Murfreesboro an of
llcer was killcd and tho cavalry drivcn
back. The horso tho oilicer had riddou
was a mHoniflcent animal and he bad
not been taught to rotrtat. Ridorlesa
ho kent on his way and as bo dashed
throutih our battery tho aight of him
waa lndeBcriDamy granu. iiia noairna

like tho wind, with hia eaddlo flapa fly-
iug until lie iooecu aa 11 ne wero nim-
Bflf flyint; in8tcad of wlldly running.
Fvery ono gave him room aa he dashed
toward ua. An ofllcer 8houted that ho
would glvo 8100 to ony ono who would
capture that Buperb animal, but all
st cmed too much bound up in admira
tion of the noble beast to make the ef
fort. and be sped on and diaappeared

A croat manv people do not know
why army aurgeona woar groon aaahes.
It ia not ao much an inaignia of rank aa
lt ia a protection to tho wearer. Ac
cording to the code of war, aurgeona
are novor snot or tatten priaoners. xo
deliborately ahoot a aurgeon while ho ia
wearlng his aaan is consiueroa a vioia
tion of tho codo, punlabable by death.
Because of thla provieion aurgeona
of ono army novor rofuBO to look after
tbe wounued ot tne oiuer army u u ib
posBlble for them to do ao. During the
civil war lt waa often the case that after
a battie tho fleld hospitals would con
tain almoBt an equal numbor of men
dreased in bluo ond gray. Tbe Fedoral

But in tho heat of battlo a -roen aosh
ls not much nrotectlon. and surgoons
wero often wounded or killed. But
thiB did not koen tho Burceona at tho
