under stFi ghti.sg j oe" Hooker. Gen. Sick
les succeeded Hooker as leader of the
Third corps, AID either of these command
ers could find business for a crack body of
rough and ready fighters in their daring
expeditions. The first chance came at
charlottesville, May, 1868. That was the
field OF Stonewall .Jackson's renowned
stroke-the march around Hooker-and if
Sicklcs and Berdan had kept up the pace
they begun with, Stonewall would have
been the victim instead of Hooker
On the day when Stonewall's column was
marching over blind byroads to steal be-
yond Hooker's flank, Sickles was at the
front, ''poking around" as he calls it. His
leading division was that Of Gen. Birney,
and the vanguard of that was Berdan's
brigade-the First regiment scouting and
the Second in reserve. The Confederates
were seen in the distance making good time
in the wrong direction, and Berdan pushed
his scouts well forward to look into mat
tiers. They met some Confederates on
guard over a road that ran on into the one
along which Jackson marched, and with
sharpshoOters' logic sent them to the rear.
The Confederates rallied around an old
foundry and tried to turn the tables on
Berdan's men and outshoot them. But the
men in blue charged in true soldier fashion,
surrounded the place and bagged the whole
lot. Farther along they ran upon the re-

the Georgians recall the old adaga about

argument. Berdan captured 365 men and
10 officers in this haul, and was going ahead
on the same lines when, owing to some
scare, Hooker recalled Sickles from his
hunt. Sickles recalled Birney and Birney
recalled Berdan. Then Jackson's battalions
marched on around to the Union rear with
nobody to say, Halt, who goes there?''
until the mischief was done. In two days
fighting at Charlottesville Berdan kept
the First on the skirmish line in close con-
test with the enemys crack rifemen. Both
sides shot to kill, and the regiment counted

crest OF the parapet and he knew that the
ditch was filling with assailants, he began
to pitch shells with lighted fuses over

ers held q blazing brand, the fuses were
cut close, then lit at the brand and the
missile whislled over into the luckless
crowd. "There, that will cool them off
some," he would say blandly, as he tossed
a lighted shell over the bank on it's deadly
erland. Benjamin's cannon swept the
ditch once OF twice with canister. But
fresh assailants continually poured into it
until it was crowded with men, and there
was for the fellows pcnned in there no
getting out of the way of the murderous
grenades except by retreat. This at last
they did sullenly, leaving the three flags
on the parapet. CThe flag of the Sixteenth

The prisoners taken from the ditch and
the killed and wounded in front of the fort
outnumbered the whole garrison three to
one. The unhurt prisoners were $50; the
dead' and wounded in the ditch were 200,
nearly all of the wounded being mortally
hurt. The stump field in front was also
covered with victims who fell in the charge.
and Benjamin estimated that at least 1000
were cut down between the starting point
and the parapet of the fort. The loss in
the garrison was killed and wounded,
and in the adjacent Union lines about the
same number.
The Confederate leaders specialized for
some time about following up the charge
with fresh columns, but changed their
minds and called the battle off AS it was,
