Thanks giving Tale,

In one of the small interior towns Of
New England, where the superstitions
Of our ancestors still possess strong hold
on the minds Of the people, the facts
occurred on which the following tale is
founded: ..rs5-H -e .. d. ic5T .laeIoesa
An honest farmer and his family pre-
pairing to celebra Thanksgiving at his
wife's fathers, in an adjoining town,
were hurried and confused extremely
on the day preceding that festival, by.
the multiplicity Of the things which must
be done before they could leave home
with perfect safety. The house was
to be banked, up, and the gleanings of
harvest, cabbages. turnips. &c. put into
the cellar, that the external entrance
thereto might be closed for the season.
Having carried inthea vegetables, the
boys were despatched TO the barn for
straw to I'LL the passage way, while
the good man himself was busted on
the opposite side ofthe house, An old.
ram, :he horned patriarch Of a large
flock Of sheep kept on the farm, having
got a taste Of some Of the scattered
leaves Of the cabbage, unobserved, en-.
tered the cellar and silently continued
his feast. The avenue through which
he had entered was immediately closed
up, and all the necessary work and ar
rangements being completed, the larg-
er boys and girls set offon foot in high
glee, the dog running and barking be-
fore them, apparently as well pleased
with going to grandpapa's- as any Of
the happy group. Soon after, the par
ent pair and their little ones, having
put out the fire and fastened the doors
and windows, by means 0i'many curl
Gus contriyances to keep out the thieves
started on the same destination.
On the afternoon Of the day follow.
ing the festival, which. had been kept
under the paternal roof with many de-
vout and jovial exercises, the family

DEAR FATHER:-Your letter of Au-

occasional trusty persons that may be

were fourteen days on cur asarch from
Camafgo, but in the meanwhile we
rested three days at SaralVo, a city

stream Of clear mountain water run

place.s eWe suffered but little oon the
march ffom Carmargo9to SeraIvo, but
tho night before we left SeralYo the
.Mexicans drove off about forty of our
mules, which was not known until the
troops had all - moved, save the rear
guard, who were compelled to9 leave

we were relieved and returned to camp.
This man Webster says we all deserve
Il medal FOR our services that day. We
done all that we were communicate do.
After Monday, we were not brought
into the field 10 use our small arms,bpt
took our position in one Of the forts to
defend it. Gen. Taylor said it would
cost too many men to take it BY, small
arms; SO we set our cannon 10 work,
which did dreadful execution, killing wo-
men and children, asfwell as soldiers.
This was bad, but it could not be he'll
pei. .9ms let. 4aia1ar ra.n a.iamn9,
We had but $500 men in,Alhe field.
Our enemy had not less than $4,000,
and about four times as many cannon.
Their, situation, taking every thing into
consideration, gave them at least an
advantage over.us Of ten men to one.
Our men that were wounded, were
Adam Shayn, John Fletcher, Andrew
b. Mckee, John Paskins, and John
Brown. A ball passed through the leg
of Lieutenant F yffe's pants. Too much
praise cannot be bestowed upon Lieut.
Fyh'e, Tor his conduct on the field that
day. He had better command OF his
company than any company officer in
the field-he was always in his place.
and had his company with him. hope
ii he ever returns to Ohio, the people
of old Bro wn will remember his gallant
services, and entrust him with respon-
sibilities as great in civil, as we are will
ling to entrust HIM in military life. For
my own part, never can forget the
kindness have received at his hands.
We were always good friends at home.
and have been most intimately asso-
ciated with him in tins company, and
the more / know OF him, the more |
Think OF him. ". aaa}e4r l5 A2i
No one was more exposed than Capt
s. W. Johnston. He rode all day midst
/ showers Of escopade bail and grape
shots in discharge of his duties as aid
de.camp. The whole regiment pay
him the compliment of being one of the
coolest men in the field. He is brave
and gallant soldier. True courage is
that which makes man cool and calm.
where life and death are at issue. Such
Lis the courage which characterized his
conduct throughout this bloody fight.
| Gen. Hamer was nottwenty minutes
out of my sight all day, and he never
was himself before. He was made for
soldier, and once in his life he was
in hisstru element. The battle field
is where he shows to the best advan-
tage. The camp and battle field should
be his home. He was proud of his
tro ops, and they were douby proud of
him. wish you could have seen him
that day-he sought no shelter, and he
drew fire on him all day. Many were
the twelve Founders that followed him
in the movements through the field
He owes his salvation, while down in
Town, TO a tree that stopped ball that
would certainly have struck him. 7'
