II was following the fortunes - OF the
Southern NJqtlhs az army, and mrakinngr IN close
company with Tth,t two comrades ON the last Of
the terrible marches which preceded the
surrender. The army had been oyer
taken by a snow storm. storm. Ihsa .tsa goads
were quagmires, into which the horses
and men descendedto their knees! Tent
and commlssnry wagons had been
stalled far IN the rear. 'lFhe regiments
struggled heavily along one blended
mass OF wet ana hungry soldiers. : With
no food' with a pitlless heaven overhead,
and wet ground underneath, to shift
tor themselves was, with almost every
soldier, as was conceded BY the strictest
officers, matter OF absolute NECESSITY.
1t was the 1ineidentslof this particular
days march (for suchiimarches were
common enough) that fastened them
selves at the time upon my attention
For instance, while late in the afternoon
looking down from hill of some eleva-
tion, and seeing the army pass, toililg
forward by regiments. and brigades
through the red mud, the idea was dis
tinctly formed in my mind, without any
apparent reason, that some unusual event
was about to happen in my history, and
that 1 would, by something soon ste oc-
cur, be transported to an altogether diff
ferent world of thought and feeling.
Why such presentiment should have
arisen at the moment from a, circum-
stance which admitted of no such ,logi7
cal inference, l have never been able
to understand. -s...., ...,.ro5 =. --..,..-o

The former was the humorous man of
our party. Wandorf had no concep-

The great point with us at the time
was where to tind some comfortable
place to sleep. The matter was one
fu1 OF dlfhculty: ihe army was scat
tered IN every direction. Every place
OF shelter rA was already occupied, s,.-
