by the efforts of the Indians to ride

"It was just after the massacre of Ctis

that a refusal to accept it would ruin
his prestige among the savages, and
that was something be could not af

that he would fight him. The two
ju-niies were ranged less than a mile
apart. Six mounted scouts accom-j

The battle of Prairie Grove,
Washington county,
in
Arkansas, WM
fought on Sunday, Dec.. 7. 1862.
The
forces engaged in the bloody conflict
were commanded on the union side
by
(ten. Hernn and Gen. Blunt, and on
the confederate side by Gen. Himlman.
The numerical strength of the armies
was about H,H)o on the union side
and
24.MH)
on the side of the rebels. )tur
townsman, Col. D. Wickersham,
was
there with two batallions of the 10th
Illinois cavalry regiment, and he
was
in command of
all
the
cavalry
on the
field that day.
The pur|wse of this brief mention
of
the battle of Prairie Grove is to intro
duce to notice a relic of the drew
Ifol
strife. This relic is associated with a
curious experience of the chaplain
present. He, sometimes afoot,

then again mounted on bis

feet of him. Not being much acctiK
tomed to that sort of business, he
did
not think about gettingout of the way,
but continued to survey the exciting

urge upon you:
1. Never tire because your comrades
do, nor because vou happen to see the
«neniv, nor for the sake of liring rapid
ly. Always wait till you are certainly
within the range of your gun then
single out your man. take deliberate
aim as low as the knee, and tire.
1. When occasion orders, be sure to
pick off the enemy's officers, especially
the mounted ones, and to kill his ar
tillery horses.
Don't shout except when you
charge the enemy. As a general tiling
keep silent, that orders may be heard."
Obey the orders of your oflicers,
but
pay no attention to idle rumors or
to
wo ills of unauthorized jersons.
4. Don't stop with your wounded

corps will take care of him. Do
you
go forward and avenge him.
5. Doy't break ranks to plunder If
