SOME HUNGRY PATRIOTS.
51rf,ott Eeex prex1

Patriotism is no doubt powerful lever in
urging soldier to take desperate chances,
but the late War proved that there were other
levers of equal force. 4 New York Lieuten-
ant and tlirty-f0ur men held possession of a
block-house, along the Baltimore i Ohio
Railroad, in 1862. One morning scout came
in aud reported tint force Of 150 Rebels was
advancing to capture the post. The Lieutell~
ant ordered the men in line, and thus ad-
dressed them:
"Soldiers, the enemy are advancing upon
us! lie will be here in half all hour. We
shall be outnumbered four to one, but ap-
peal to your patriotism to your love OF
country, to your respect for that dear old flag
to defend this post to the last will you do
it M'
!" "Leftenant," said the Sergeant, as he
stepped forward after an onlinous silence,
1--WE are too few and the Johnnies too many.
We shall all be killed or captured, and the
men won't stick. They go for eyacuating
right away"
.sPatriots and heroes" continued the
officer after drawing n long breath, 1--WE
sugar, and bacon. We haven't been to break
fast yet II we eyacuate we lave got to
march twelve miles OIL empty stonachs. Ii
we remain a1lu defend the post. I'll issue
double rations as soon Us tile last Reb Is
driven off. II you don't want to fight for
your country let's fight for 4 good square
meal.n
Every hat was thrown up and every man
cheered, and twenty minutes later, when the
eneuly appeared, he was greeted with such a
hot reception that he soon sounded the re-
treat.
When the Union forces under Nelson made
their stand at Franklin the ConfederateS had
been tight after them for several
days, and it had been I: march
of empty hayersacks. As the Confederates
formed for battle many of the regiments had
been without food for twenty hours. Their
first attack, after 4 patriotic address. was
speedily repulsed. Cleburne led part OF
the force making the second advance. AS he
rode along the lines he saw the men chew
ing leaves from the cherry and apple trees,
and he said:
Brave Confederates, there is the enemy.
Behind those earthWork3 are cannon and
muskets. and men who know how to use
them. Behind those is big wagon train
with heaps Of rations- We've got to lick the
enemy to get this train, and if we don't get
his rations we'll have to fill up on grass, for
there isn't Confederate hartt-tack within
twenty-five miles of Franklin, Follow HE to
glory anu-rations!o
They followed him to the earthworks and
over them, but he was killed and the lines
driven back. His men, however, were the
only ones who mounted the earthworks DUR
ing that desperate battle; and it is an open
question whether any appeal to a soldiers
hunger won't make MIN fight as we'll as an
appeal to his sentiment.
