wounded fell into our hands. Col Gregg
could not have chosen q more advantageous po-
sitIon if he had had ever so much time for Sc
lectiug it, and the enemy could not have ap-
preached us under greater Disadvantages than
they did, if we could have had the ordering of
it. They were exposed on open flats in front
of the engine, and it is not surp rising that the
Washington papers reported next day III of
them killed and wounded. 1t was one oC the
frs, fights of the war, and ifthe time and num-
ber of shots fired are considered, it was the
blooddiest battle of the war. | am quite sure
that more than ten minutes did not elapse from
the time we first heard the train until the firing
ceased. And | am equally confident, that the
firing did not exceed five minutes. We had
already marched - miles that day, and miles
were stretched out between us and our camp.
We were not equal to Jacksons foot cavalry,
and but for the little incident at Vienna, many
of us would have given out on the road. When
we reached the camps it was all aglow with ex-
cltemcnt. Old man Lovcberry Musgrove, who
was left with others in charge of the camps,
declared that lie knew Col. Gregg was after
them, for he could see the smoke from the can
nuns going up In the Slhpe OF u laImctto tree.
In q few days our time of service expired
and we left for our homes. War had now be-
come reality, and our backs were towards
the enemy, and that may have had something
to do with the mark cd absence of any patriotic
demonstrations along the road. Our trip back
o South Carolina was as quiet as funercl
march to the grave Many, many of that
splendid company are numbered with the pale
army of the dead At the Union depot we
found our friends in force to welcome us back as
they had done six months prcvio us TO bill us
good bye. VipI.

Prolectlon nnd v, as Trade.


Prem the Wilmington, Del, NJ orniuR News.
The questions of Protection or Free
Trade are now foremost In political dis
cufsions, but there are side issues which
lend moral aspect TO both, with which
politics has nothing TO do. The laborlng
man while adhering TO the doctrine OF
protection TO his earnings, looks beyond
70 the best methods Of protecting his own
and his family's health and happiness.
Tariff laws may restrict importations Of
foreign manufacture, but there must be
a liberal free trade In all things concern
ing the physical well being Of the whole
population, rich and poor alike, and this
IL acquired at once, by the best and readi-
est protection against and the immed.a late
relief of distress. With this end In view
the best minds have labored for the sake
of the laboring man, and the best achieve
ments OF science are not merely, in this
direction, those which relieve suffering,
but those which protect by preventing 1t
and those which cure promptly, safely,
chcaply aud surely. The relief of human
misery Ia and must ever be the paramount
gu, stion, and were II possible 10 observe
the misery in some concrete form, nothing
ever conceived would surpass It's horrors.
Every one OF the myriad thread-like
nerves have each latent power TO cause
excruciating pain, the limit Of which Is
simply the limit OF human endura &C.
Think of h toothache, with single, little
nerve to drive one crazy; think OF neural.
gia, with few tibrCue torments all pulls
ing painfully at once, and then reflect
that at the same moment, thousands, ten 8
OF Thousands, perhaps millions are snder-
ing alike. But philanthropy places a
cure within the knowledge OF all man
kind, and within the reach Of the poorest
OF Gods creatures Thus It attains true
protection TO human happiness and free
trade COR ali In true benefcence. From
the twain, In mercy and charity, St
Jacobs on was born, and recurring TO
neuralgia affection, It Is perhaps the most
prominent In the enormous list Of aches
and pains. Nothing is 80 subtle and flag
rant; nothing so azure and distressing,
and certainly nothing all the world admits
yet discovered, SO completely subdues its
ravages and conquers its pangs, as that
above mentioned.
