There wasn't much blowing DONE
These regiments made their marks dur
ing the war, and their prowess is mat
ter of history. There is much to brag
of. Capt. Amos Glover's company, of
which there were thirty members pres
ent, was the first to reach and pass over
the crest of Missionary on that memOra-
BILE day. and the shoulder straps of the
1.-THE and gallant Captain were the first
on the hill. T. Benton Jackson, one of
the two first men to reach the crest, was
present, but modesty prevented him
from speaking.
The valor of the Ninety eighth was
shown. at Perryville, and its dogged per-
sistence at KeneSaw Mountain, where it
was baked, but not defeated. Being
unable to mount the works, it laid down
in its tracks, and, gopher-like, buried it
self in the ground. From Lookout
Mountain to the sea these two regi-
ments did their full share of the bloody
work.

Hurrah, hurrah, the flag that makes you free!

While we were marching through Georgia.
Yes, there were Union men who wept with Joyful

When they saw the honOred flag they had not seer

Hardly could they be restrained from breaking
forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.
'Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never reach

So the saucy rebels said. and twas handsome
boast,
Had they not forgot alas to reckon with the host

So we made thOrOughfare tor Freedom and heI

Sixty miles in latitude-three hundred to the main
Treason fled before us, for resistance was III vain

famous forced march to Louisville, after
Nelson's disastrous meeting with Kirby

two spent in digging trenches at Louis
vile it Joined Buell. in his chase after
Bragg.
At Perryville it received its first baptism
of fire, and the rite was performed after
the manner of the immersionists, as it
was literally buried in the smoke of the
battle for three mortal hours. And
mortal hours they were. Col. Webster,
commanding brigade, was killed and
fell into the arms of his boys, as he call
ed them. Gen. Jackson, commanding
the division, fell about the same time,
and Gen. Terrell, next in command, was
mortally wounded about the same time.
In less than an hour after the engage
ment began the remains of all three of
them were lying at the field hospital.

1t had been arranged to hold camp
fire on the Fair grounds, but the boys
had come without their gum blankets.
The capaciOus hall in the new Court
house was thrown open, and was con-
verted into a camp for the time being.
1t was filled to repletion.
Col. Poorman was placed in command.
He made one of his characteristic
speeches, in which he spoke of war be-
ing most serious affair. He had no
objections to the boys getting all the
fun they could out of the meeting, but
for his part he would treat it seriously.
Speeches were made by Comrades
Glover, Lee, Patton, Stewart, Hilles,
Cochran and Wilson, with music by the
band, and songs by local glee club.
To say the occasion was enjoyable but
family expresses the facts.

Green as the boys were they seemed
to realize the fact that they were at a
specially vital point, and they held it
with most dogged persistency until
kind nature enveloped the sanguinary
field in pail of darkness. They had
left camp only two months before full
thousand strong. Less than 300 answer
ed roll call on the morning after the bat
tie. Recent official reports show that
the loss of this regiment was greater
than that of any other in the engage
ment. These reports also show that its
loss on that day foots up the same as the
aggregate loss in the twenty-six engage
ments which followed.
Col Poorman, now editor of the Bel
laire Tribune, and member of the Legis-
lature, received honorable mention for
his GOODNESS and bravery, and for the
skill displayed in parrying the blows
aimed at his command. So close were
the contending hosts when darkness set
in that Major Pearce mistook COnfed
crate regiment for his own, and was
taken prisoner. He is now Judge of
Courts in Harrison county.

and influential families of the State were
represented in these two regiments.

By request of the two regiments, Col
j. F. CharleSworth, of the Twenty-fiftt
Regiment, acted as Marshal of the day
and he discharged the duty to the entire
satisfaction of all. He is one of those
natural military men who are met occa-
sionally and takes special delight in hav-

The good ladies of the vicinity had
prepared many baskets of provisions,
and an old army cook took charge of the
coffee department. Long tables were
spread in the fair grounds and arrange
ment made to feed all the soldiers and
their friends.
Mr.. HOllingsworth, a prominent lawyer,
welcomed the visitors in an eloquent and
elegant speech from the court house

grounds to music by the Ktnaville brass
band and a local drum corps. Several
old fifers and drummers were there and
gave us touch of d-fashioned camp
music. One veteran, now 80 years old,
brought out his old fife and played "The
Girl Left Behind Me" as it only can be
played by one who has practiced it at a
time when the sentiment was specially
dear to his heart.
Col. CharleswOrth led the column and
gave the boys short walk down Main
street and back, just to show the people
that they had not forgotten how to step
to music. At the grounds a corps of as
pretty girls and handsome ladies as any
one could want to see dispensed the
toothsOme viands and fragrant coffee
with liberal and willing hands.
1t is needless to say that the boys did
their duty, and did it well. That is the
sort of fellows they were at time when
their duties were more trying. The gen.
eral verdict was that the dinner was
'immense," and there is no reason to
suppose the verdict will not stand. In
fact, there is no court of appeal.
