Death Of Albert Sydney Johnston.

Dcatn Of AlDert Syunoy SOnnstOns
On Sunday, the 9th Of April, 1862,
Johnston aud his eager army began
his fateful fight He handled his
ardent army with brilliant skill and
impetuosity. Whenever there was o
pause in the onward movement he
led the charge in person. To those
who saw him TINT day rs the writer
did, in all the glorious fever ofthat do
l;rious success, mounted on magnif.
icent steed, his massive figure SEEM
ing to enlarge to gigantic size with
the ardor Of battle, his face aAame
with his indomitabls spirit of fight,
he was tho idea embodiment OF the
fiery essence Of war
He threw himself with reckless in
difference into danger. And the last
cnarge that broke the federal posi-
ton was led by him in person under
q perfect blaze of flame and hail, his
horse shot in four places, his clothes
pierced, his foot sole cut by a mimic,
but his person untouched. 1t was
in this supreme moment OF victorious
onset, d decisive triumph seemingly
and surely in his eager grasp, that q
fatal bullet struck him, asmall wound
under the knee, severing the popliteal
artery. alh l
Governor Harris, of Tennessee, who
was on his staff, rode up to him, see
ing him reel in his saddle, and hold
ing him steady asked him "Gener-
al, are you wounded 7" He replied
deliberately and with emphasis
eyes, and 1 fear seriously" He was
lifted to the ground. His boot was
full of blood, and the life current
pouring out beyond recall. He new
er spoke again. General Preston
knelt by him and asked him passion
ately: General Johnston, do you
know met" Gen. Johnston smiled
family. Lying in @ravine out OF the
way of the merciless bullets he was
dead in twinkling.
Gould General Johnston have had
immediate medical attention he would
have survived. His staff surgeon
was DR.. David w. Yandell, of Ken
lucky, and he was away from him in'
der circumstances that constitute
the most touching and beautiful fea-
ture of this romantic death. The fed
erals in retreating left, OF course
their wounded behind. In riding
forward, Gen. Johnston came across
a squad of wounded federal officers
and soldiers Stopping, ne kindly
addressed them, and asked If any
were badly wounded. Then turning
to his staff he remarked ut nearly
breaks my heart to see men in that
uniform suffering. Doctor" address
ing Yandell. edo stop and see If you
can do something for these poor fel'
lows"
DIR. Yandell stopped on this hu
name mission, and General Johnston
owed his death to the absence Of
skill and instruments, and this ab-
sence was due to his tender humanity
to the wounded foe--a humanity oil
the more striking because it was ex-
hibited in ali the excitement OF bat
tie.
It is q pleasure to reflect that this
distinguished citizen Of Texas died
while gallantly leading his men in
battle, nnd that one of his last acts
was to extend the courtesies OF KIND.
ness and humanity to the wounded
and suffering of the Federal army.
