Firearms, as distinguished from
artillery. originated about the year
1864. when 500 "hand-cannonsh were
made at Pcrouse or Perugia. Hand

corps OF 'arquebusiers" was formed

500 cavalrymen, armed with hand-guns

Pavia, Feb. "a. 1929. tho Spanlards

which firearms were used. Muslxets

An incident that is narrated OF Gen.
Mcclellan sheds light on the question
so often asked: Why did his soldiers
love him so dearly?
When the Army OF the Potomac left
Harrison Landing IL marched TO New
port News. along the north bank OF
the James river. The advance divi-
sion began its march early in the
morning OF Aug. Is; but the rear divi-
sion did not move out OF camp until
o'clock in the afternoon OF the same
day.
just at dusk n creek was reached.
IL must be crossed. according to
Southern custom. by fording or by II
single log by the roadside. The
soldiers, disliking TO fill their shoes
with water. were trying to cross on
this single log. which OF course caused
an obstruction TO those behind. and
really put tho rear OF the army in
danger.
Soon several officers rode up and
took In tho situation. There was need
OF more haste. One OF the officers
called out:
Wade right through, my mon;
wade right through"
Some surly fellow from the ranks
growled out:
Wade through yourself and sec
how you like it,"
No sooner had he spoken than the
officer dismounted and waded through
the creek. IL was then discovered
that the officer was Gen. George b.
Mcclellan.
The soldiers gave him hearty
cheer, plunged into the creek. and
afterward the point was passed more
rapidly four abreast.
The general might have repri-
manded the soldier--indeed he might
have had him arrested and dealt with
severely. But under the circum-
stances he did just the right thing
ho went where he asked his men To
go; and his men were glad TO go
where he led.
