AN Interesting sketch by y ohm Eaten Cooke.
At this stage of the action was sent by General
jackson with a message to one OF his generals
and only mention the incident to record my hrst
meeting with one whom afterward knew well-a
very brave and remarkable person. had dellV
cred my message and was gallOping back, when
saw regiment almost torn to pieces by the horfi
BILE fire of the artillery and infantry on the crest
in front. This fire was SO appalling that the
men could not endure it, aud were seeking
everywhere in the low swampy ground LOT
some shelter from the hurricane Of canister Whlch
regarded it as my duty to attempt to rally the
men, knowing, as | did, that, II the line was
broken at that point, Jackson's wn9ie pos,si nd
would be seriously endangered and accord
ingy endeayored to induce the straggIers ana scat
tered detaehments to rally again around their
coors, and charge the artillery which was tamlng
in front 4b.
This is one of the most disagreeable portions Of
a staff officers duty; for il the immediate com
manders of trO0ps-their captains ana colonies
cannot control them it is still more dhGuit for an
unknown officer TO do So
II was, nevertheless. my duty to make the at
tempt, and did so, but with small results, The
stragglers paid little heed to me--eVery one was
" sick or " wounded or in equally bad plight.
in other words, the fire was so deadly that they
were unwilling to charge in face of it,
III success had put me in something like rage,
as, with drawn sword, gaIloped up TO o man sep
arated from the regiment and ordered him, in
hot and imperous tone, to rejoin his command
He turned and looked at me with cool air OF
