and ends with Yours any way you want
me, Sore Heels" Now, we suppose this
brare fellow means fight and perhaps we
ought 20 get nervous, but We guess we
won't We will look over his army re-
cord and see if he ever hurt any body or
if any body ever hurt hin. At Antietam
he sueaked to the rear and cut of his
shoulder straps--a brave act On the re-
counoissance in the Shenandoah Valley he
played sick, and so too on the forced
march TO Suckers Gap; he played sick
and slowed himself away for safe keeping
in a commissary wagon, lost his sword for
fear, as he said. that he might be called
upon to use ii, and failed TO return to bis
company until he was ordered to DO so by

march. and although it was only short
distance to where his regiment became en-
gagged, he started to the rear and actually
marcted a distance Of more than t,co
rides before he thought he was out o.
