THE BAYoNET THE TaUE WEAPoN.-A gen.
tleman who participated in the glorious battle of
Greenbrier river informs US that he himself heard
the Yankee General repeatedly call upon regiment
after regiment of his valiant heroes to charge the
id rebels, and that they declined to bulge an
inch. He singled out particular regiments, in
voking them to charge, but they respectfully de-
clined and he then called upon select companies
in those regiments, but none of them had a
stomach for the job. He called upon the officers,
with volley Of oaths, to lead their men to ''the
imminent deadly breach" but the officers replied
that unless they carried the men on their should
ers, there was no way of getting them there. At
last, he altered to pay them if they would 'charge
the ID rebels" but even that all powerful in
fuenee failed to bring them to the scratch. We
understand that at Evansville, where they num-
bered fifteen thousand to our sixteen hundred,
and on several other occasions, they manifested
similar disinclination to come to close quarters.
At the battle of Allegheny, outnumhering US five
to one, they took to their heels incontinently at
every charge of the bayonet.' These facts should
impress upon our men the value of the cold steel
in Southern hands, and impress upon them the
importance of bringing the enemy to close quar-
tiers whenever it is practicable.
