Once upon Sewell Mountain, short time be-
fore the army fell hack to Gauley in great haste
upon the very night the enemy reiterated in the
opposite direction, General Rosecrans who went
about in a common soldiers overcoaf and under
slouched hat, attempted to pass the guard Oh
the mountain side. The guard came promptly to
q charge and ordered the unknown to stand back.
"But, my good fellow" cried Rosey, az must
pass"
- "Can't do it without a countersign."
VI haven't the countersign, but / am General
Rosecrans."
"Oh, the devil! That's played"
"What do you mean-whO do yOu take me for ~
"Take you fort Why, for what you are-one of
them damned old wagoners trying to get out to
steal chickens"
This made Rosey perfectly furious, and although
piOus man, he broke into TRADE of profanity.
The guard responded and little theological dis
cussiOn followed, more emphatic than polite. In
the midst of it the corporal of the guard, hearing
the row, came to the rescue He recognized the
general, and the poor soldier began apologizing.
"Never mind, !" said Rosey; "yoIre a good fel-
low, and did your duty: but, my man, you mustn't
swear SO. You jeopardize your precious soul by
such profanity"
That man was promoted; he rose in rank; and
after having been desperately wounded in his coat
tail, he came out of the war a brevet wagon-mas-
ter, and went to Congress.
