Death now, to be, and Death Away.
But far above earth's sickening strife,
And out beyond the realms OF space,
And hidden from the senses reach,
Deep in the conscience OF the race,
There lives sense, there speaks voice,
That faints and fades, but never dies,
That brings alike to serf and lord,
And high, and poor, and low, and wise,
The only everlasting hope.
There is no grave, hear it sing;
There is no death, its tones declare;

some Ave or six hundred soldiers present for
duty.
In tho afternoon we marched down the eastern
side of the mountain, crossed over the Chattanoo-
ga River and drew up in line of battle in the val
ley across the western end of the Chattanooga
ridge. Pretty soon we saw body of rebel
troops moving toward us on the top of the
ridge, perhaps quarter of mile off. Our bat
terry, away at the extreme left of our line,
opened upon them with its 12-pounder Napo-
leon guns and exploded its shells right in their
front. They were too few to fight, they had no
chance TO escape, and so they surrendered at
discretion. Then we learned that it was q
rebel brigade trying to escape by that way, and
did not know we were there.

night, with orders TO march at o'clock in tho

Col. Bean can tell you.
Yours Sincerely,

away and run back twelve miles for water.
This took over twelve hours, hcnoe my
statement was correct. was not aware
Of the great importance Of this fast trip.

ernment vouchers. Mr.. Bean had q con.
tract 10 move the Sth Cavalry from Fort
Whipple, Arizona, to Fort Union, N. NJ.
The road was measured with an odometer.
The vouchers had to be returned to Fort
WhippIe to become available. The horse
was purchased for the purpose Of making
this trip in safety. They named the horse

ever since. w. II. HARDY.
