yonr life to give me an honorable death
but God know will reward you"
At an early hour the next morping |
was witness of the dreadful preparations
for the execution of poor Henry. His
coffin, already prepared, was placed in po-
sition and the whole garrison, with the
exception of the exection detail and the
sentries, was then drawn up Oh either side
of it, where all stood, with sad faces and
in solemn silence. ill the doomed man
appeared, when many fearful farewell
was spoken, for all who knew him respec-
ted and loved him. He was very pale,
hut marched between the two lines with
head erect and a 6rm step. When he
reached his coffin. I fauced there was
slight shudder but he kneeled upon it
with apparent calmuess and resignation,
and spent few moments in silent prayer.
A bandage was then placed over his eyes
the execution detail, with loaded mus
kets, was drawn up in front of him-and
awful silence, in which every man seemed
to hold his breath, followed AS a soldier,

still kneeling, apparently untouched, anc
the major was standing by his side. Th'
next moment, to my greater surprise, th'
IN ,jor lifted the bandage and said, in
loud, clear tone : .# Il.
"Hcnry Buford, you are paldoned an
your general begS you to remember HIN
on the field of battlo!" a.
Cheers, loud and prolonged, greeted thi
joyful announcement, and felt as on
: awakened from a horrible dream to hap
py reality.
: BY Gen. Winchester order the soldier
had fred blank cartridges, and life an'
honor belonged to Henry Buford.
He did not forget his general on tn
field of battle, was subsequently, promote'
