grand army of the Potomac, in 1868, was
taken sex. died and was buried, the CORES
pondent performing the last sad rites over
the remains of bis dead comrade. A voley
was fired over the grave, and the soldier
was left to his long sleep. The time passed ;
the war ended the correspondent was hon.
orably discharged, and he had forgotten in
the rush of events. his comrade sleeping on
the banks of the Rapidan, when the other
day, in Hartford, who should appear before
him but the same dead and buried soldier.
1t is not strange that be felt a curious sensa.
ton come over him that he looked at the
figure before him without speaking that he
stepped aside when the other advanced to
him with outstretched hand The denou.
ment is thus given:
"Old chum. don't you know me !"
Said /: 6 Yes l do! But what in the
name of God are you doing here? l helped
to bury you once, in Virginia !"
g know that some one buried me, and
| always thought that you was one of them,
as you were always so kind to me. But
you see now," said be, offering his hand to
me, "that am flesh and blood"
l shook hands with him, and he told me
that be was in a trance when they buried
him, and that he was digging his way out,
and had got his head out. when the rebels
came along and assisted him. They then
sent him to Libby prison, where they kept
him in durance for a year. They sent him
to Georgia. where he remained till the war
was ended, and then released.
