lates the following, which l have
never seen in print. ltis too good
to be lost:
At the battle Of Port Republic
in June, 1862, on the Sunday

Fremont's forces, General Jack.
son ordered the chaplains of his
army 70 hold services in their re-
spective commands. When about
to open services, battery Of ar
tiIlcry Of the Federal General
Shields command took position
near the bridge. crossing the riv-
cr, al Port Republic, the town be-
ing in the fork Of the river, near
The junction. Jackson's head
quarters were in town, q portion
Of his army on the opposite side,
and just in front OF Fremont's
army Jackson was not apprised
Of Shields artillery being nearer
than three miles, until it opened
fire on the bridge, trying thereby
to knock it down, and prevent the
crossing Of his entire army, leaving
force ofonIy about 10000 men
to contend with Fremont's force
of nearly 10000 men, splcndldIy
equipped.
Jackson's keen perception at
once recognized the predicament.
His horse was at once saddled and
the war-worn hero dressed in
Federal uniform. Thus mounted
he crossed the smaller stream,
rode hurredly up to the artillery,
witch was very near the bridge,
and in the low ground near the
river. Assuming the character Of
Federal officer, he commanded
them to climber up" and take
their position on an eminence
near by, that they might have a
good means Of escape anu better
command Of the bridge. The ar
tillery commander, without hesita-
ting, oheyed the order, during
which time Jackson crossed the
bridge, had u battery soon in posi-
ton, and captured Shields ar
tillcry. The plan of destroying
the bridge being understood BY
Fremont, he commenced q rapid
advance on Jackson, who, so soon
! as the bridge was secure, turned
| upon Fremont, whipped him badly
| that day, crossed the river next
morning, destroyed, the bridge,
and used up Shields more success

day previous.
