When Charlemagne and his
"Knights of the Round Table "
were making war on the Saracens,
in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would
fight in single combat for the honor
of their respective armies. The
Saracens had been, for many
years, the scourge the dreaded
invaders of Europe, and all
waged war against this common
enemy.
But in these days the worst
scourge that threatens us, is that
dread invader, Consumption.
DIR. Biggs, demonstrator Of anat-
omy in the Bellevue Medical Col
lege, who has great opportunity for
post-mortem observation, says +: at
is a startling fact that of all deaths
nearly one out of every seven is
caused by consumption"
Consumption fastens It's hold up
on its victims while they are uncon-

of maladies. But it must be taken

first line back upon our line. These works
were not over 200 feet apart and the Brock
road lay between them. The rebels planted
their colors on tho first line. We were ordered
to charge over our works and did so. The
troops there rallied, and together We drove the
rebels back ut the point Of the bayOnet, hardly

Batteries That Did Fight at the Peach Orchard.

Batteries That Did Fight at the Peach Orchard.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have been
watching the correspondence concerning which
batteries took part in the Peach Orchard at the
battle Of Gettysburg and while they are all
partly right, they are somewhat in error. /
claim the batteries that took up position on the
right and left of the Peach Orchard come in
for share Of the honors and suffered greater
than those directly in rear of the Orchard.
Batteries f aud X, Sd U. $ Art. took up po-
sitiOn on the right of the Orchard, with their
left piece between the two right rows Of trees
and lost killed, Lieut.. Livingston, Serg't
Eames. Bugler Whiteford, Privatcs Bentley,
Clifford. Murphy, Malone, Pinkham and Serva-
cious. besides others that ] cannot remember,
aud about 20 wounded, some Of whom never
returned.
Capt Hart disputes some other comrades in
saying that Randolph's lst X. I. battery was
not there. IL was somewhere in the line, and
Capt. Randolph was there as Chief of Artillery
for the Third Corps. and stood near the Peach
Orchard, hut not with his own battery. Again,
he disputes another comrade in saying that
McGiyery did not command a battery there.
McGivery was a Lieutenant Of Battery C. Ith
u. > Art. on the right OF our battery, and was
in command Of a section OF said battery, aud
was about the last officer that remember see
ing on the field before night came on.
When the batteries that composed that limo
Of artillery took up their positions, il was done
with cannOnoers mounted and on the gallOp.
The first one TO fall was Capt. ID. Il. Ran
som, Of Battery c, 30 U. S. Art, who seemed
10 be acting as staff officer. He was severely
wounded while riding out in front Of our hat
terry TO see If the skirmishers were all in.
Then the first shot was fired into our battery
aud killed Pinkham and Shehan. aud took off
the hind leg OF Shehan's lead saddle-horse on
the piece 10 which had the honor to belong
This opened up the assault, and it did not seem
20 me 10 be over 20 minutes before we were
firing, retiring, with prOiOnge attachment.
The next day some Of the Same batteries
were i'm position with Us on what is now called
Bloody Angle; our battery being on the right
Of Lieut. Cushiug's battery, and / saw that
gallant young officer when he fell, aud it was
his last words that inspired his men 10 fire the
