summit was the signal station; and
after General Corse had sent a mes
sage informing Sherman OF the attack,
and his purpose 10 make desperate
defense. he addressed himself 10
the work at hand with a vigor which
will always be the theme OF song and
story. The attack began early in the
morning. and the heavy masses OF the
Confederate troops were pushed with
great determination close ND TO the
works. and at one time entered "A small
redoubt. but were driven hack at every
assault. About ten o'clock at night,
as one who was there well iemem-
bers. the signal station flag gave a
message which was not clearly dis
tingulshed because OF the heavy smoke
which hung over our lines. but in II
few moments the assault slackened "A

with great cheers. IL was the only
message received that day. but Sher-

seen every eye was turned TO the
white flag with its crimson square

was from this event that the burden Of
Sankey's religious song was taken,
which has been sung in all the great
religious meetings wherever the Eng

Corse got severe wound, and the
losses In his command were heavy.
but In the afternoon the losses OF the
enemy were so great that the assault
was discontinued. Ira ID. Sankey, in
