4 MARCH TO VICTORY.

Thoughts of sadness soon gave way to
those of a more buoyaut nature; we felt
when the hea of the column turned to-
ward the Capital the road we trod would
lead to victory. The march to Gettysburg
was one of the longest and most severe we
had yet experienced. In thinking of war
we are apt to look only at the battles; to
hear the dread sound of strife; see the dead
" casping wounds and are ready to crown
the survivors or give honor to those who
fell; but the harlships of the march, the
colds of winter, the entire absence Of every
comfort and luxury in active service is over
looked or forgotten by those who do not par
ticipatc, Napoleon, when retreating from
Moscow, lost many of his men by the exces-
sive cold; directly opposite was our expert
ence on the way to Gettysburg. One day, |
think the second out from Falmouth. our
corps lost more than dozen men by sun
stroke-they fell dead by the waysde, On
another day we crossed the battle field OF
Bull Run, where the year before Pope had
met with disastrous defeat No effort had
been made to bury the dead properly; a
| little earth which the rain had long age
washed away, had been thrown over then
where they fell, and their bodies or rather
their skeletons, now lay exposed to view
In some parts of the field they were il
groups, in other places singly and in all pos
sible positions. One cavalrymen lay out
stretched with skeleton hand still graspinI
with earth, the flesh still clinging to hi
liieless bones and hand extended as if t
greet us. We rested for short time on tn
field and one of the regiments of our brig

fought the year previously, and recognize
the various articles lying around as belong

corps, with the exception Of the General aud
his staff had heard shot fired. As we APP
preached Gettysburg the day before, the
sounds OF the fight, owing to the direction
of the wind or the formation of the country
were wholly naudible. Those who came
on the field after mig htfall had no idea of
the whereabouts Of the enemy; but as the
daylight increased and objects became vs-
BILE we saw their lines nearly mile distant
on Seminary Ridge, and away to our left
rose little Round Top, and still farther on
Round Top, As the day wore on, and not
shot or hostile sound broke the stiffness of
the morning, it became evident that the en-
emy were not ready to renew the fight. Our
corps had got into position, and in wood
Just back Of our line the birds caroed and
sang loud and long. Our horses quietly
browsed in the rich grass, aud mon lay in
groups peacefully enjoying rest after the
rapid march Of the day before. The troops
that arrive upon the field or changed their
position did 50 losurely and uumolested.
SickIes came up and went into position on

was heard out toward Little Round Top,

BY MAJOR GENERAL ST. CLAIR A. Null
HOLLAND.

In all the four years of its existence the
men of the Army of the Potomac never
hailed an order with more delight than that
which withdrew us from before Fredericks-
burg and sent us north. When on that love-
ly summer evening in June, 1868, we looked
for the last time on Maryes heights and
the monument of WashiDgtons mother,
which had been shattered and broken by
the shells of both armies, and stood out
there on the plain back of the city against
this fratricidal strife, q mute and sorrowful
Niobe weeping for the mistortunes of her
children, every heart beat with quckened
throb and all the men rejoiced to leave the
scenes of the last six months. We withdrew
from the line, of the river after the shades
of night had fallen over the landscape
and it seemed to be an appropriate hour,
for had not the great army while here been
in shadow, without a ray of sunshine to
gladden. our souls? and we had been here so
long we were beginning to be forgotten as
the Army of the Potomac, and letters came
to Us marke2 "Army of the Rappahan-
mock As we marched away in the dark
ness our JOY was not unmingled with sorrow
for was there veteran in the ranks who
did not leave behind the graves of noble
and well beloved comrades who had fought
beside him from the beginning of the great
struggle? We did not march away with all
our army. When our camp iires-whch on
this night burned with unu>al brightness
went ont and left the Valley of the Kappa
hammock in darkness, the living army was
gone to be sure, but twenty-five thousand OF
our members lay over on the other side Of
the river-the heroes of Fredericksburg and
Chancellorsvilc. An army of occupation

Twas the night before the wedding,

with her hair unbound ana falling
Like q mantle to the floor,
There She sits among her treasures,
For the last time looks them Ger.
one by one She reads each letter,
Then cOusgns them 10 The flame;
From the case she draws picture,
And the sad eyes scan the same.
Eor the face smiles out upon her
AS old II used TO do.
Ere that bitter night Of parting,
When each spoke what was true.
Trembling fingers slowly clasped It,
Drop IL on the cmbcrs red;
Mere again viii She behodit
For that face to her is dead.
There are vlolcts In the caskct,
And Il lock OF soft, dark hair;
There are books and little tIinkets,
And the ring She used to wear.
In the freight while they're burning,
In her fancy, DER aud DER,
There again she sees the river.
And the Old familiar shore.
Where so often they had rambled,
In the autumn afternoon.
Where on summer nights they floated
Mid the lilies, meath the moon?
on the hearth the box lies cmptled,
In the CRATE the fire burns low.
And the girl stands white and silent
As the last faint embers glow.
Streaks Of gray are slowly creeping
DER the portals OF the morn;
With the night the Old lie passes
Dawniug brings her hopes new born.

Hints i'm Regard 20 Lightniug.

In a recent article on this subject
a well known scientific writer says:
it is never too soon to 90 in the
house when a storm is rising. When
the clouds are fully charged wich
electricity they are most dangerous,
and the fluid obeys a subtle attrac-
ton which acts at great distances and
in all directions. A woman told me
of a bolt which came down her moth
er's chimney from a rising cloud when
the sun was shining over head. Mp.
Willis writes of a young girl who was
killed while passing under a telegraph
wire, on the brow of a hill, while she
was h%urrying home before a storm.
The sad accident at Morrisania, when
two children were killed, should warn
every mother that it is not safe to let
children stay out Of doors till the last
minute before the storm falls. People
should not be foolhardy about sitting
on the porches or by open windows,
whetherthe storm is hard or not. Mild
showers often carry a single charge ,
which falls with deadly effect. 1t
may or may not be safe to stay out; il
is safe to be in the house, with the
windows and doors closed. The dry
air in a house is a reader conductor
than the damp air outside, and any
draught of air invites it. A hot fire
in a chimney attracts it, so to speak,
and it is prudent for those who would
be sure Of safety to use Kerosene OF
gas stoves In summer, and avoid heat
ing the chimneys Of houses. People
are very ignorant or careless about
lightning. | have e a girl Of eigh
