GENERAL HARRY EETH.
THE GOODNESS OF A CUCUMBER.

At the Wilderness, May 1864, the
morning after the first days fight the
enemy made sudden rush onour lines,
and ran over Wilcox's and Heth's divis-
ions. Our men were entirely surprised.
Their guns were stacked and the men
cooking their rations; many ofthem were
asleep. Heth was at the extremity of
the line on the right, where there was
no attack. Captain Nash, of Macraes
staff (Heth's division) was sent post
haste to inform Heth. Heth's imper-
turbabifity was known to the whole
corps, but Nash thought, with reason,
that he had news which would startle
him. Nash galloped up the line furious~
ly, saw Hcth in his usual posture, nurs-
ing his leg, and covering over camp
fire. The staff officer pulled up short,
threw himself from his horse, and burst
upon Heth with, General, the enemy
have broken clear through our line, run
over your division and Wilcox's and
