the left OF Meade's lines, effected junction
with at least one division (the left one proba-

IN the afternoon, when Gen. G. K Warren Or

met some of Early's troops recently from the
shenandoah, and occupied very advanced po-
sltlon, which we were ordered to fall back from
in the early evening of Feb 6; remained there
until the morning of Feb. T, it having been
severely cold night. 1t showed toward morn

with dreadful rain-storm, which at first froze
as it fell, but eventually became very positively

night OF the 9th. Our corps call this fight the

OF OCT. II, 1864. and marched rapidly to the
vicinity of Hatcher's Run. Our entire corps

and, think, some of the U. S. colored troops.
The two corps found trouble ahead on the 9th
pretty near the woods, from which my brigade
at least never advanced, and, Of course, we did
not nave the opportunity to see the open
ground toward the enemy, and, although not
directly engaged we remained in our original
position until long after the rebels discovered
and took advantage of the gap in the line be-
tween the Second and Fifth Corps towards
night of Oct. o. The first intimation of a dis.
aster was on hearing the yels and firing to our
left and rear when the enemy tried to double
up the Second Corps. Our brigade was called
to assist in covering the withdrawal to our old
line OF works at the Squirrel Level road, at
Peebies's Farm. l wish some comrades of the
Filth and Second Corps, who had better oppor-
tunities for observation at the front in this

poor devils, all honor to them, they came on,

and although half were down in 10 minutes, the
other half never ran, for Gen. Ferrero's infan-
try moved forward and gathered in the last one

1t was certainly splendid victory for US,
aud the most complete victory gained by our
armies during the whole war, on small scale.
As for Lieut.. Benjamin, of the Regular Army
he got.as much credit any Regular ever got,
and moro than Capt John Edwards, of the
Regulars, who did Just as much as he did, and
more; for / know Edwards set the example of
throwing shell by hand, and doubt if Ben
jamin took one in his hand, although he had
men under him who did. / think myself it is
shame how little praise and credit Regular
got during the war and since. There are lots

during the war fought like heroes, and to-day

Immediately On our right, and something
like 100 yards in front, was battery of 12-
pound brass guns, which had evidently been in
action for some time. Their horses were killed
or crippled, and the gunners were leaving their
guns before the advancing line of Confederate
infantry. This was probably Battery b, 4th

were still contesting the possession of the corn

the advantage as they were moving diagonaly

until they broke and ran back to tho woods.
Before they ran another line was coming up
that confronted US squarely, and the work
commenced IN earnest. Our position was in a

Nothing Prevented Him from Follow
ing Out His Method OF Learning.
Brown, my boy, there's nothing like
It. It's better than French in six weeks. ,
because you can work it into yourself in A
month, so that you can hardly say or think
anything without following the rules.

and so mingle the artistic and the use
full
Brown was quite taken with this new
plan for learning how to punctuate prop
erly. He had often felt like a brother to
the fellow who wrote a book without
punctuation whatever, simply adding in
an appendix a complete list of punctua-
ton marks from which the reader could
select and punGtuate as much or as little
as he pleased. Brown SO fell into the
spirit of it that as he walked up the street
atterward, the Washington .St0l saws. he
found himself soliloquizing: 81 wonder.

he slipped up on piece of banana skin
and went down flat with two exclama-
ton points and enough stars to eQuip sew
eral issues of a blanket Sheet" Eor the
first time in his life he felt like using the
dash" and also making a dash for the
miscreant who threw that murderous
peel there. He lay on the pavement long
enough to denote several paragraphs,
then got UP with difficulty and limped
down the street. But the magic power
OF that first lesson was still upon MIN.
Snd meeting a newsboy he began:
We'll, comma, my boy, comma, have
you the star, Interrogation point"
The sharp-eyed little rascal stared at
him curiOusly and then replied:
"Com-ah? Come off. When did yer
'scape from th' sylum2"
After punctuating the town generally
during the next two hours and getting a
crowd of small boys at his heels, whom
he escaped by seeking refuge in an empty
school buildlng-a place the average bow
never enters if he can help it-he took
home to his dear family somewhat bat
tered but still large supply of punctua-
ton.
At 2 \. N. his wife nudged him. "John.

wide awake, he sprang to the floor, ex-
claiming: Dearest, comma, I will de-

Der door right in the face of two masked
burglars who held pistols 20 his breast and
demanded: Your money or your life.'
The record-union., 1892-10-29

With one whirl Of his right arm he dashed
the pistols aside. two bullets perforating
the hall window instead of his head, as
was intended. With two more whirls
of that trusty arm he sent the burglars
as surely and swiftly as one sentence fol-
lows another in the mouth of a twO-hun-
dred-a-minute speaker out through the
window, after the bullets, remarking:
There, comma, now, comma, you can
hunt your bullets at your leisure, period.
Call again, comma, and I'll show you
how to punctuate better, comma, but you
CAN'T put a period to my existence just
yet, period"
Then rushing back to his wife he ex-
claimed, joy of my life, exclamation
point, light of my eyes, more exclama-
ton points, come to my arms, period"
They fell, weeping upon each others
neck. Stars and dashes come in here,
denoting domestic scene too sacred for
the eyes and ears of the vulgar public.
