Worthy to stand BY.

"When Stonewall Jackson turned
the right Of the Union Army at Chan
cellorsville," says John l.. Collins, in
Battles and Leaders OF the Civil
War, "the plank road and the woods
that bordered it presented scene Of
terror and confusion such as / had never
seen before. Men and animals were
dashing against one another in wild dis
may before the line of fire that from
three sides came cracking and crashing
after them" Mr.. Collins attempted to
catch one of the runaway horses or
mules, but soon gave up the undertak-
ing as hopeless, and tried to save him
self on foot. As he turned into the
plank road he found himself among
men who, like himself, seemed to have
little idea where they were going.
In the very height of the fight, he
who seemed to be the only man in his
own command, who was not running ct
that moment. He was in the middle OF
the road and mounted, his MANNED
arm embracing y stand OF colors
that some regiment had deserted, while
with his sound arm he was gesticulating
to the men to make O stand by their
flag.
with barred head he was pleading
with his soldiers, literally weeping as he
entreated the unheeding throng.
under different circumstances
should have considered it my duty to
follow and find my own command, and
! report for duty with it. But I could
not go past the General. Manned in
person and sublime in his patriotism, he
seemed worthy to stand by, and out Of
mere compliment to his appearance
hooked up my sabre, and fell into the
little line that gathered about him.
"As the front became clear we fired
few shots at the advance line of the
Confederates, but . fresh mass of fugi-
tiyes in blue soon filled the road, and
we had to stop firing.
"The General now ordered us to cover
the whole line of retreat 80 as to let
none pass; and the officers, inspired by
his devotion, ran in front of their men.
drew their swords and attempted to
stop them. But the seething, surging
sea of humanity broke over the feeble
barrier, and General Howard and his
officers We're carried away with the
| tide"
Mr.. Collins started again on his race
for life, and had not gone far before he
saw lines that he knew were not retreat.
ing. His "heart took bound" as he
saw the flags flying, and battery after
battery galloped iuto position. He
hastened that way, and just beyond the
line of battle found his own regiment
drawn up for o charge.
"A horse, that had followed the COM
pany riderless from the last charge,
was given to me, and my confidence
and self-respect came back as I mounted
him. was no longer fugitive, but a
soldier"

but as we regarded it as being the
work of some of our satanic friends
we made no mention OF the fact,
hoping thereby to relieve them of any
satisfaction which an act of this kind
might give them. But the villainous
work still goes on. Last week Hal

New Pests.

We hear good deal of complaint
from different parties in this vicinity
tIfat- voting cottonwood trees are be-
ing destroyed by a worm, which
develops into a bug, resembling a
potao bug These insects attack and
destroy the leaves and young shoots
of the small trees, which results in
the killing of the same. While riding
past Mr.. Stones Riverside farm last
Monday morning, our attention was
called to the ravages these pests were
making in the fine grove of cotton
wood trees on the other side of the
river opposite the mill, and we found
Ward Stone busily engaged in giving
them dose of Paris green, which
puts stop to further damage being
done by them. The larger trees as a
rule are not attacked by these new
pests. Like the potato bug, these
insects deposit their eggs in the
ground and make their appearance in
early spring.
