From Gilmor's -Four Years in the SaddleI
On the morning after the battle
Of Mcdowell, while the whole of the
Stonewall Brigade were deploycd on the
front as skirmishers, General JACKsoN's
Adiutant Robert L. BABNEY, preached a
sermon, surrounded by the army. The place
selected was an open bottom, well up q
the front, for every shot could be heard
distinctly. and occasionally n stray bull
LET would come whizzing by. Mr.. DAB-
NEy stood ON the ground uncovered; Cen
oral JACKSON a few PAGES in front, resting
ON one foot with his hat of, shading his
face from the sun. ] watched him close
~, and saw not a muscle change during
the whole service. The sturdy soldiers
Drowned in many q hard-fought field, were
lying around on punches of hav, taken
from the stacks near by; and although an
incessant skirmish FIRE was going on, all
listened attentvely, with every eve flsten-
ed upon the great chief Few have / ever
seen with -uch unainching nerve, and il
was his iron will that won for MS many
a stubborn fight
While sitting near him the day previ-
Gus, with my company in rear TO act as
couriers, a she'll came crashing through the
trees and cut asunder a large white-oak
within a few feet Of the General. II fell,
but fortunately it fell from him, otherwise
he must have been crushed 90 death.
"My graciousl General, | exclaimed,
'you have had a narrow escape"
He was then a little hard Of hearing,
and thinking he had not heard me,
1 repeated, "Nou have had a narrow es-
cape, sir"
All you think so, sir-you think So"
And turning towards my men, "you had
better shelter them in a ravine near by,
"but did not move himself until he was
called 10 another part Of tie field. Fear
had no lodgemenl In that MANS hrenst.

DR.. L. L. COLEMAN

AMONGST the many complimentary no
tees given us by the press of this city, we
know of none which we deem as coming
with so much heartfelt sincerity, as the fol-
owing from the Nashville Daily Union:
AT period like the present when our city is
filled to overlooking with transient pOpula-
ton, and diseases prevail to an extent hitherto
undreamt of, it is proper that the means of cure
should be of ready access, and that those imme-
diately interested should have information which
will lead them TO avail themselves of competent
medical advice. Men who have been educated in
the best schools Of the profession Of medicine, and
been successful in a practice of many years, are
surely worthy of confidence; if they have given
their attention exclusively TO one branch of the
profession. and made themselves masters of it,
they have still more right to expect support, more
particularly if they have afforded proof Of their
ability to cure. To this latter class belongs DIR.
L: L. COLEMAN, who, in his specially, has been
a benefactOT to the afflicted and may ever be re-
lied on a safe and sure physician"
We respectfully inform our friends that
we may still be found at our Office, reliev-
ing those afflicted with
