I remember distinctly his countenanee
and general appearance. On this day,
the 29th, We rested near Savage's Sta
ton, on the railroad by which we had
received our army supplies. The day
was clear and hot. Exposed to q
scorching sun, we waited, ready to fall
in at moments notice. Within few
feet of our company was large pile of
ammunition, burning and exploding.
Some of the bullets and grape-shot
were hurled within dangerous proxim-
Hy to our regiment. AS this pile was
the property of our Government it was
On unpleasant reminder of the fact that
our army was retreating before an enc
my eager to destroy us. On the other
side. of cleared field in which we
were resting were the tents of the gen.
eral hospital, which were filled with
our sick and wounded. Though pain
full necessity, such of these as could
not march would in q few hours fall
into the hands of the enemy. Our di-
vision was left at Sayage's Station to
check the enemy. 1t was beginning to
grow dark, when, ;.eording to orders,
we fell i'll, faced /. the rear, and adj
vanced rapidly into :. pine forest, and
ther. formed line of battle. It was so
dark that we could not see the rebel
force which was approaching through
the thick timber within muske5 range.
Suddenly there burst upon ou view a
long line of bright flashes followed by
IL terrible roar of musketry and a
shower OF bullets, which came pouring
into our lines. Our brigade held its
position firmly, and gave the rebels
such warm reception that they soon
ceased firing, and fell back. Thus
ended the battle of Savage's Station.
In this battle member of our compa-
nv was killed, and he was the soldier
who had said that he would be killed
in the next battle.

instructive, too, to see our attempts at
making our own wearing apparel.
which we had to do, from hats to shoes.
Previous to the war the large cotton
planters of the South manufactured
nothing at home, everything required
on their immense plantations, from the
thousand-dollar piano and eight-hun-
dfed.dollar carriage to the pins and
needles and thread, everything came
direct from New Orleans, the great
metropolis of the South; consequently
we girls, just fresh from tirst-class
boarding-school, knew very little of
the stern realities of life, and were
novlces, indeed, when we first at
tempted the new role of manufacturers.
But with us it was do or die, make or
do without; and with this incentive to
exertion we proved apt scholars, and
were not long in achieving degree of
perfectlon In our different lines, sur
prising even to ourselves.
In the manufacture of our hats we
used palmetto. We gathered this while
IN the bud, when it was pure white. be-
fore it had expanded or turned green.
These long, spear-lke buds, which usu-
ally measured two feet in length, we
carefully pulled apart, and then dried
them in the shade. We then tore them
into shreds about an eighth of an inch
wide, which was done with common
pin or needle. Afterward we braided
these shreds into fiat plat half an
inch wide, with notched edge When
we had made sufficient quantity for a
hat, which was fifty or sixty yards, we
clipped off every protruding end, then
dampened the plat and ironed it we'll
with q moderately hot iron. The braid
was then sewed together with strong
thread. and formed into hat of any
desired shape.

thought the struggle would last only a
few months, or year at most, and with
this impression firmly implanted in

THE INDIAN QUESTION. By Rev. William

This is candid and vigorous presentment
of the question from the Indian point of

the Dawes bill now pending in congress,
but he also believes, and with great reason,
that legislation will accomplish little with
out the systematic, persistent and watchful
cooperation of the friendly whites.
