Gen. Longstreet and the Battle
of the Wilderness, May 6, 1864.

= I Z
of the wilderness, May 6, 1864.
The Old First Corps of the Army of
Northern Virginia had but little rest
when there was any hard fighting to be
done. After the second Maryland CAM
paign, we had been sent out to'the Army
of Tennessee; our corps had maintained
the high reputation of the "Virginia
troops" at the bloody battle of Chica-
mauga the old Sharpsburg sonbriquet was
set aside, and Gen. Longstreet, no longer
called the 'sWar Horse," was generally
known among the men.as the told Bull
of the Woods" Then came the skirmish-
es of Gle Noir's0 and aCampbelrs Sta
tions," the siege ofKho1yille, and the ter
rible winter of 1S6S-'64, in desolate
East Tennessee.
Our men had borne, unmurmuringly,
hardships greater than auy to which even
they had before been accustomed; they
had not complained, although with INSULT
cient food, without blankets, with ragged
clothing, and, too, often without shoes,
they had tramped with bleeding feet for
many weary mile. On the march, and
IN biyouac, during The freezing day and
comfortless night, in hunger and in thirst,
they had been sustained by the remem-
brance of their dear Southern land. All
things, however, have an end, and in the
spring of 1864 we joyfully returned to
Virginia.
On the Sd of May, 1864, We left our
camps, near Gordensville, and on the night
of the 5th OUT two diysions-Field's and
Kershaw's-went into bivouac q few
miles from the Wilderness. By daybreak
in the morning the troops were again in
motion, and marching toward the field
Of battle! The Federal troops had made
a fierce attack upon the right Of Gen
eral Lees line, and had been repulsed.-
Again they came on and in an increased
forcs, until at last Heath's and Wilcox's
divisions, in spite oftheir steady and de-
terrnined fighting, were driven back in
confusion. With a cheer, the Federal
troops pushed forward; our exhausted
men could do no more; there seemed no
hope of further successful resistance; but
there was cloud of dust on the road, and
General Longstreet, followed by his col
umn, came rapidly on. Kershaw's divi-
sion was in advance; without hating, the
men fled into line, and charged with a
furious yell.
Nothing could stand before them-they
were inspired with furious, unhesitating
valer-the onset of the enemy was
checked, and the next moment they were
being slowly driven back. Repeatedly
did the Federal officers bring up their
shattered regiments, reinforcements
were put in only to be speedily broken
and the arrival of Fields division and the
magnificent body OF men commanded by
GEN. Robert Anderson, enabled Gen. Lee
to re-establish his original line. We had
lost heavily, many of our most gallant
men had fallen; but the reverse Of the
early morning had been retrieved, and
our success was SO far complete.
!. 1t is well known that the section of
country usually called the sWilderness"
is covered with dense growth Of pines,

but to grieve for his loss. Longstreet
was lying by a tree at the side of the
road, the blood flowing with terrible rap
idity from his neck General Field, the
senior division Commander, now assumed
command, and kneeling by our beloved
General received few words of instruc-
tion. The General grew rapidly weaker,
but as conciousness gradually left him, he
still could summon up energy enough to
say in deep and earnest tones: "Press
them on, General Field; press them on,
STRIP A litter was obtained, and Gener-
al Longstreet was carried slowly to the
rear; his hat concealed his features, and
the men anxiously asked who was woun-
ded?
1t was known too soon, and to honor
their General, as they thought for the last
time the men gave prolonged and enthu-
siastic cheer. The General heard them; he
could not be deaf to their voices, and it
was touching sight as he slowly, family,
raised his hat, showing, for q moment,
that well known face, now SO ghastly
and pale. One incident particularly
struck me. When the General was hit,
private soldier took his horse; he mount
ed him, and fully equipped with rifle,
with blanket and canteen, was now rid
ing behind the litter. One Of our cou-
riers told him to dismount, and his reply
was characistic: "No, STREE Look hyar,
man General Longstreet gave me this
hyar horse to mind, and all hell can't
get him from me without his say-so."
Nor shall I ever forget the sad express
sion of General Lees face, when he, too,
heard of our disaster; nor his gentle,
sympathizing voice, as he said, II hope,

G1R1s.-There are two kinds of girls.
One is the kind that appear the best
abroad-the girls that are good for par
ties, rides, visits, balls, etc., and whose
delightisin such things. The other is
the kind that appears the bosts at home
the girls that are useful and cheerful in
the dining-room, the sick-room and all toe
precincts ofhome. They differ widely in
character. One is often a torment at
home, the other a blessing. One is a
moth, consuming every thing about her ;
the other is sunbeam, inspiring life and
gladness all around her pathway. The
right education will modify both little,
and unite their good qualities in one.
