At the battle Of Cherubusco in the val
ley Of Mexico, one of those series of bat
ties which took place before the capital
was captured, occurred one of the most
impressive acts of the entire war /
mean as to its effect upon the men Of the
army. It was one Of those events which
carried instant conviction to the minds
of the soldiers that discipline and alle-
glance to the flag were of paramount
importance. After desperate struggle
the works were carried, and among the
captured were found a number of de-
serters, men who joined the Mexicans
and served the guns against their own
comrades, and the full force of their aid
is apparent when it is known that they
we're nearly all trained artillerists. On
the discovery being made intense indig-
nation prevailed, and nothing but the
strictest discipline and prompt obedience
to orders prevented the men from deal
ing out instant vengeance upon the de-
serters.
But drum head court martial decided
with due formality, their fate, which was
to be hanged, ignominiously, in the pres
ence of all the army then at that point
assembled. 1t must be understood that
portion Of the forces were then
engaged with the enemy at Chepul-
tepec, that almost inaccessible fort
ress and very stronghold of
the enemy, holding farther advances
upon the city, and that the most
desperate engagement was then unde-
cided. The men were drawn up in due
order, each with rope around his neck,
thirty deluded victims about toreceive
merited punishment for baseiy deserving
the flag and turning the enemy's guns
against their own comrades. The officer
in charge, upon whom devoIved the duty
cast quick glance in the direction of
Chepultepec. Suddenly a thought
seemed to impress him, and he said:
s'Let them stand till they shall see the
American flag upon the heights of Che
pultepec.n With breathless anxiety they
waited. It was hard tough. battle,
the final result being doubtful. Many
brove men went down to rise no more,
and many a man carried the wounds
there received through life to his grave.
The gallant Colonel Ransom, Of the
New England regiment, yielded his life:
Captain Mayne Reid, whom knew, and
others, were wounded, and were among
the first to enter the works.
Suddenly shout went up that carried
relief to some, at least, Of those. anxious
watchers and dismay to the hearts Of
those men who stood awaiting their
doom. The heights had been carried and
the starry banner foated to the breeze.
All eyes then turned to the sad spectacle
before them. The deserters stood mo
tionless as statues awaiting the doom
they could not shun. They had taken
the last look of the flag they had sworn
to protect, and were sent ''unannointed
and unannealed" to answer to the '1ast
great roll call. y Boston Post.

who were in the ark were saved; all
without were destroyed. This was
exactly the case with Lasgird. When a
Chupao took place all who got in were

victims A chronic state Of war existed,
