before this city was captured the be-
siegers made one desperate attempt to
route the Union forces. In this battle
Capt. Ashby took a conspicuous part.
The enemy were approaching. and it
looked as if they were about to carry
the day. While his company of men
were Smelling an advance column word
came to Ashby that the shells were Civ
ing out. He promptly ordered a detail
of soldiers to go to the cave where the
shells were kept for safety, and bring
out more. But said they, the shells
are boxed up and the screw-driver can
not be found 1t seems that the covers
to the boxes of shells were screwed
down, for it never would do to pry open
or knock off the covers with a hammer,
because of the liability of the shells to
explode. Capt Ashby at once ordered
the lieutenant, with couple of men, to
go and break the boxes open, as the en-
ly refused to go, urging as an excuse
that the thing was fool-hardy, and that
they would never come out of the cave
alive. Quick as thought Ashby order
ed the lieutenant to take charge of the
men, while he himself proceeded to the
cave. He ordered a darby, who stood
near, to hold candle.

Capt. Ashby would take no parley.
At the muzzle of revolver he bade the
colored man obey. He held the candle;
but his white teeth chartered with
nervous fear like pair of castanets.
Then with pickax Ashby commenced
breaking open the covers. AS i'll luck
would have it, the pick struck screw,
and quantity of sparks flew into an
open key of giant powder near by. The
grains were so large that the powder
did not ignite; but the colored man
nearly swooned, and tried to escape.
The revolver was again pointed at him,
and again he was made to stand AL
though the sparks flew right and left,
Ashby, trembling and pale as death
himself, continued his perilous work,
and the shells were taken out and dis

result was the enemy at that quarter
