The sharpshsot Story.


During the winter Of 81 ny company
occupied two islands In the upper Poto--
mac, where thoy did constant dpickes
duty, having their posts and "dueoutss
along the entire south shore Of tho isl-
ands. The following incident occurred
q few days after our return from that
wesried forced march Of seventeen miles
along the slippery tow path to Edwards
Ferry to the assistance Of the unfortu-
nate Colonel Baker Of the California re-
giment at Balls Bluff. where. ss you
know, We arrived too late 10 afford relief.
Our men were feeling very much dis.
gusted on their return over the unsuc-
ressful result Of their march, 60 that the
sight OF q rebel picket on the opposite
shore was the signal for the simultaneous
discharge OF dozen rides, aud you may
be sure they kept themselves well on. of
sight. We were equipped VITA toe En-
Geld rifle, warranted to kill ct 1000
yards, aud in this respect had grestly the
advantage, and had few casualties to
record on our side. The distance from
shore to shore was about 800 yards.
There had been for some time consider
able rivalry among our meu as to who
was the best shot. and whom oil duty
they were allowed TO practice on range
at target.
One morning n Confederate officer,
evidently on his rounds inspecting his
picke.s, had stopped at a house probably
100 yards back from tbs shore, and was
engaged in conversstio, with u woman
standing on the porch. The First Lieu.
tenant Of our company having command
of the lower island, after carefully OBJ.
serving the officer through his glass,
quickly sent for four of his men who
had tue best record as "cracS shots"
and selecting ride for himself tue five
stretched Themselves behind a log on
the river bank aud deliberately "drew
bead" on this uusu.pectiny victim.
They fired by prearranged signal from
the Lieutenant at the same moment, and
saw, with no more apparent concern
than II they had dropped over rabbit,
both horse and rider fall together. A few
weeks afterwards, when our regimen,
crossed over aud captured Leesburg just
after the rear guard OF General Hills
army had left il, we found tho wounded
officer in the house before which he had
been shot as deliberately as hunter
would have shot bear. l believe ever
