them at full speed So away they few, through
lanes, private roads and farm gates. Occasion
ally the colonel, in order to detain them, would
complain of illness from having drank too
much cider, and would stop and dismount un-
til they would threaten to shoot him, and
then with slowness and much difficulty, would
mount again and resume the unpleasant jour
ney, in the course of which they finally came
Ia sight of q force of rebels drawn up in line
some one hundred yards away. Meanwhile
we had not been idle As soon as the gentle
man of the house with whom the colonel had
been conversing saw what was in store for him
he had hurried after us, shouting: Your
colonel has been captured!" All was at once
excitement, and squad mounted on the feet
est horses was dispatched to the rescue. When
the two rebels with their captive arrived in
sight of their main force they thought, of
course that they now had their prey secure,
but in moment they heard a noise like that
made by herd of stampeded buffaloes, and all
at once they beheld an avalanche of sabers,
cleaning IN the sunshine, coming down the
road Colonel Hurst took in the situation at
once and reined his horse to one side of the
road while shot after shot few past him.
and back the rebels fed in dismay, though
not without laying one poor boy of ours stark
and stiff in death. The colonel told us after
wards that he had implicit confidence that his
boys would recapture him. He died near Cam
den, Tenn, about two years ago.

sons, and neighbors, in order to transmit to
them in time of peace the lessons we have
learned in war;
1--WE, sons of veterans, who deem ourselves
the honored successors and inheritors of the
liberties for which our fathers fought and died
" And We loyal citizens, who by birth and
choice, or free election, claim protection of and
cur allegiance to these United Statesof America,
who, born too late, or in foreign land, or en-
gagged IN those pursuits which peacefully fur
nished the soldiers bread, were not of the army
Of the Union, but ever with it In heart and
voice,
"Dounite ourselves in a common brotherhood,
and do soIennly bud our ourselves to the OBJ
jjects herein set forth, TO wit
First. To maintain true allegiance to the
United States Of America, based upon the Con-
stitution of our fathers to defend this Govern
ment against foes at home and abroad, against
treason invasion, and to take arms at its call
III instant readiness; to maintain its integrity
and honor; to teach our sons the skill of arms
we learned in its defense, and to lead them, if
need be, to the field, the next grand army Of
the Republic.
Second To keep alive the memory and ira
ditions of those generations of heroes who
have carried the stars and stripes through vic
tory and defeat, from Bunker Hill to Lees
eapitulation, and the spirit that led them TO
sacrifice all for home and country, and the
rights of man.
Third. To assist in the care Of those who
cared for us-our senior veterans, who stood in
the front ranks in the dark days of the rebel
lion, but for whom we might now be but the
miserable adherents of the petty remnant OF a
once glorious and united country; to demon
strate by that care the gratitude we owe the
true patriot and that as these veterans one by
one are mustered to the silent ranks Of the
dead, they may go, knowing that their sons
raise again, with strong young arms, the stand
ards they bore, and thstrong young hearts the
battle cry of the Republic, and that peace with
all her blessings has not untitled them for the
stern array of war.
If need be, as they stood elbow to elbow we
viii stand. With their old swords We viii
raise the emblem of our liberties. As they suf-
fered we shall not fear TO -partings, fa-
| tigue, hunger, cold, wounds captivity or death.
| tAHd, next TO the constituted authorities of
| the United States and the State in which we
| live, we swear to obey the officers of this or
| ganization and its laws and regulations, and
| to labor for its extension into every Depart
ment of the Grand Army of the Republic"
| And with this l will bring my letter to a
! close hoping you may agree with the comrades
who join with me in urging this matter upon
| the consideration of the Order.
| Yours, in F., c.. and L.,
