Whatever General Henningsen OF his
friends may say against me, the whole army
will bear witness that my acts never gave
evidence of inhumanity, want OF courage,
or selfshness. never had to drive or abuse
my men; they were proud to follow me, and
vas proud Of this devotion to myself and
to the honor Of the American name. lnev-
er, when it was in my power, refused
kindness to soldier. visited the hosplt-
ais, and If had nothing else, had always q
kind word for the sick and wounded. My
months served General Walker, is shown
by the regularity of my promotions from
Major to Brigadier General. The reputa-
tion bore rs an officer is best known to
those who served with me, and by them
am willing to be judged. And now assert
that the slanderous attack, and false state
merts made by General Henningsen, and
through his fundamentally, which have ap.
peared in the public press, were q concerted
plan to make me scape to cover his own
military blunders, and the disasters that
brought about the termination Of the ex-

SHOOTING, PIGEOyS WITHOUT SHOT,

lowing anecdote as yerltable fact
ga week or two since, the woods and
feeding lots around this little city were per
fectly alive with pigeons-as, indeed, they
are every fall and spring. Among the many
who seizedthe double barrelled guns and
rushed to the slaughter, was my friend Sam
XXX, from Bucks county, an eager sports
man; so eager upon this occasion, indeed,
tha: driving at 2:4O speed some five or six
miles out from the town, and seeing his
horse properly put away, he discovered with
dismav, that he had left his shot bag at
homc Here was a dilemma for you! And
to make the incident intolerable, the morn
ing was simply perfect, and the birds set
ting and rising in clouds! What was to be
done? That was a question upon which
Sam exhausted his ingenuity, without ar
irving at any satisfactory conclusion. Hav-
ing gyrated two or three times around the
eighty acre lot, to the music of some pro-
fame exclamations, he became calm enough
to make up his mind for the return trip
pigeonless; Just at that moment he saw anoth-
er sportsman drive up to the fence near BY,
and soon recognized Captain R. sAh,
how lucky!-thought Sam; 81 can beg, buy,
or borrow some shot of him. Bnt-but-
what if he has short supply, and declines a
divide in view Of the multitude of birds?-
All! have an idea!'
'Good morning, Captain R.. A
beautiful morning this, for shooting; and
the pigeons are as thick as blackberries.'
'Coot'n morgen, Herr XXX, responded
the new conner, who is one Of the most gem
tlemanly but not one of the sharpest, Of
kraut and sausage consumers, 'me think we
have blenty Of shootin dis day. a
'Yes, plenty sport, Captain. But, l say,
Cap, do you see yon cofee-nut tree at the
edge of the timber2 its big leaves, still
hanging, look like pigeons. Now that tree
will attract all the birds to alight upon it,
S'pose we build blind there, and shoot to-
gether to-day? We can take in thousand
or two, guess
'Very Coot, Herr Xxx, responded the
herman. ana IN n lew minutes. the corn.
