TWENTY.THlRD S. C. v.
Operations Around Jackson in 1868.
BY A SPEOTT GUARD.

After hearing the news of the surrender
of Vicksburg Gen Johnston knew it was 70
use to advance any farther, so he ordered a
stay where We We're till the next day. Tho
next day it was reported upon good author
ity that Gen. Sherman had set out from
Vicksburg with heavy force to encounter
and defeat Johnston's army and then occu
py Jackson On being aware Of the intention
of Sherman, Gen. Johnston ordered re-
treat to Jackson. The retreat was orderly
10 confusion in any way. The retreat o.
the Confederates was well covered by
body Of cavalry and artillery sufficient tc
check and hold at bay any body of FEEDER
ais that might try to overtake them. This
retreat commenced on the sixth day OF Ju
II. The weather was very warm, and Stll
dry through that section, and I think It car
truthfully be said of the 23rd Regiment thai
in this retreat they suffered more than they
ever before or after for the same length o
time.
SUFFERING FOR WATER.
During this retreat it was the hardest mat
ter to get water we ever experienced. The
peoplc depending or having to depend on
their cisterns for water (or in other words
upon rain to supply their cisterns) were
very close with 1t, and would part with bu
very little of it. The troops had to seek al
the gullies and stagnant pools to allay theil
burning thirst In some of the gullies We
would ind little muddy water; in Others
none. Some times we would find in some
of the gullies small puddles of water thai
apparently was clear, but upon .eachine
it the first thing or things we wol lid see
green frogs leap into it. and by their several
maneuvers would have it in short while
very good article of cold red soup. When
we didn't have the green frogs to thicken
what little water We could get into red soup,
we had the little black tadpoles to appear in
it by the thousands. In dipping up pint
cup full of this water, and after sucking OF
drawing the water through our teeth, we
NOulO uNO INC cup as IStso1 oAS ea1Ao >tSSp
in these little black tadpoles. This account
of our drinking water we had on that re-
treat is simply an outline, and could be
considerably enlarged if it were necessary.
The troops beyond a doubt will never forget
that suffering by the heat and the want OF
water On Tuesday evening about dark we
reached Jackson very much fatigued.
On reaching Jackson we marched little
farther and took up our abode for very
short while on the Pearl River. The next
day after reaching the Pearl River was
Wednesday. We remained here that day
and night We were very much in need Of
little rest. This day we had the pleasure
of its refreshing waters in swimming and
bathing in them which helped our stiff and
weary limbs great deal, and by the next
morning found ourselves very much re-
freshed and rested.

German ingenuity Is stated TO nave re-
orted to a method-revived from the
most ancient past-of rendering fabrics
proof against the rlvages Of decay for
IN indefinite period, a process by which
t Is said, no matter how delicate the
.exture or color Of the fabric may be, its
Ong life is assured. 1t appears that the
inventor in this case, a German chemist,
passed his experiments on the commonly
Cnown fact that the wonderful preserva-
ion characterizing the h~eadbands of
Egyptian mummies Is attributed to their
having been impreguated with a kin OF
resin. Acting upon this assumption, ex-
periments were made with the substance
extracted from birch bark, with the re-
suit trat the green tar left after the oil
used in tanning has been extracted from
the white bark Of the birch tree yields a
substance neither acid nor alkaloid; and
this, in solution with alcohol, forms a
liquid with a power Of resisting. after
Dnce becoming dry, even the action of
alcohol itself, and is alleged to possess
the property-so long a desideratum-ot
rendering textile fabrics apparently i'm

a peculiarly valuable property being also
claimed for it, namely, a ready union

A young Bostoniau visiting tins city,

wac easily sold by an old gag" Pre-
tending to be something of an epicure,
he was praising the sea products found
near the Hub, when a Philadelphia law
yer remarked: But you should eat our
oysters. They would knock you silly.
Why, l can give you all the Philadelphia
oysters you can eat for ten ceuts!'
The B~ostouian bet fifty dollars on his
reputation as an oyster eater. SO one
evening, after a period of semi-starvation
TO fit himself for the contest, he and the
lawyer went 10 n we'll known oyster sa-
loon not far from Broad and Chestnut
streets. The lawyer threw a dime ON
the counter, and told the oystermhn to
20 ahead Ten oysters were opened and
rapidly consumed by the Bo7tonian. His
mouth wutercd for more. but the lawyer
declined to order them, claiming he had
won the fifty dollar. a storm of re
proachcs greeted him. in the midst Of
which he calmly remarked; My dear
boy, have You not had all the oysters you
can eat for ten cents. Ask the man. He
won't give You any more for the money.

they approach in c~aptiousness the male

It WAS an mp town surface car, and
three women carrying small parcels
boarded it.
After ~disposing Of their bundles and
themselves on the seats, two Of them
started desperately at work to open the
pocketbooks that they carried in their
hands. Neither succeeded to any ex-
tent, and the red haired conductor wait
ed and wiuked at Il cross eyed passenger
in order to note for future reference how
a cross eyed man winks.
Meanwhile each of the women had
grasped the others arm and exclaimed:
Don't, dear, l have change" The
third woman said nothing. and the con-
ductor paused in front of the trio for his
fare.
Don't you dare to pay the fare!' said
one of the women
And don't your was the reply.
Then while this friendly argument
was going on, the small woman who had
said nothing quietly handed the right
change to the conductor and the agony
was over.

same, " said the conductor as he returned
to his post. And who shall say he was

No Doubt About American Soldiers.

Infantry, of course, constitutes the
main body of all modern armies, and by
the quality of its infantry an army must
be judged. The capacity of Americans
to make excellent soldiers was proved in
the wal beyond a question. That hun
drods Of thousands of men, most of them
entirely u-nacquainted with the elements
even of discipline and drill, were trans
formed in so brief a period INTO officers
m s0rufers was certainly one Of the
wonders of our time. But the material
was in the main of the best, the desire to
master the new trade well nigh universal
and very strong, and there We're from
the beginning many opportunities for
practising what had been learned.
The armies of 1862 were far and away
superior to the levles of 1861. The arm
les of 1868 were decidedly superior to
those of 1862. But in 1868 it is probable
that the highest point of efficiency was
reached in both the Federal and Con
federate armies in the east, and certainly
in the western army of the Confederacy.
