The West Virginia soldiers were
very partial to Annie Laurie" March
ing along IN mud or snow, you would
hear them chanting annie Laurie.
My cousin, who is something of mu-
stefan, says she could always tell a
West Virginia soldier by his asking
her to play annie Laurie" first of all.
Then a favorite one with the Virginia
boys was When Johnnie Comes March
ing Home" I do not know any of it
except the chorus, but would be glad
to have the rest.
When Johnny comes marching home,
When Johnny comes marching home,
The old church bells shall ring with Joy,
To welcome home our darling boy,
When Johnny comes marching home.
There is another fragment I have
often heard sung by old soldiers
something about Dahlgren's raid on
Richmond, Va, but I will not repeat
it; it is too sectional, and savors too
much of the late unpleasantness. Such
things are best forgotten. Let US have
peace.
The Southern soldiers were all very
partial to q march called Soldiers
JOY" I have heard it said by old vet
Grams that no music seemed to arouse
the soldiers to such fighting frenzy
as Soldiers JOYS" that they would
rush into battle as if going to feast
making, almost running, they would
seem so eager for the fray. And even
its martial strains would animate the
horses, and they would hasten, with
neighing and paving, to the dreadful
carnage.

night came on he sought rest as fol-
lows:
81 lay down at the foot of a tree,
with my saddle for pillow and saddle
blanket for a cover. Some soldiers
near me, having built fire, were MAX
ing coffee, and I guess I must have
been looking on wistfully, for in a lit
tie while they brought me a tin cup
full of the coffee and a small piece
of hard bread, which I relished
keenly, it being the first food
that had passed my lips since
the night before I was very tired,
very hungry, and much discouraged by
what had taken place since morning.
I had been obliged to fight nv COM
circumstances. disconnected, without
supports. without even opportunity to
form in line of battle, and at one time
eontending against four divisions OF
the enemy. In this battle of Chicka-
Enauga, out of the effective strength of
10, 900 bayonets I had lost 10, OF of
ficers and men, including two brigade
commanders. This was not satisfac-
tory-in6eed, it was most depressing
and then there was much confusion
prevailing around Rossville, and this
condition of things doubtless increas-
ing my gloomy reflections, it did not
seem to me that the outlook for the
next day was at ali suspicious, unless
the enemy was slow to improve the
present advantage. Exhaustion soon
quieted all forebodings, though, and ]
fell into a sound sleep, from which ]
was not aroused till daylight"

Fair Cynthia begins to throw,
From the soft crescent of her bow,
Her showers Of silvery shafts below.
While hills and valleys. meadows, streams,
Lie beautiful beneath her beams,
Like pictures in painters dreams.
And bark! there comes upon the ear
The whippoorwills low note, so near,
So sadly sweet and coldly drear.
1t throws gloom upon the heart
More than could any song Of art
Giving the soul an inward start.
All, sad bird! Inournest thou what is fed
Something to which thy heart was wed
Or is it for the battles dead2
If for these dead, oh, sing away
TIL morning comes, with streaks of gray
Upon his chariot's rudy ray.
For they with heroes now belong,
And slain for right or slain for WE
Are worthy of the sweetest song.
All, must thy music cease so soon?
Faint and more faint thy low notes swo0n,
Slow dying with the dying moon.
Perhaps upon life's checl1ered shore,
Where thought at least can upward soar,
Thy mOurnful voice we hear no more.
And yet methinks I hear thee still,
Lingering about yon distant hill
IT'S fancy, not the whippoOrwiIl
