Colonel Barney, of the Sixth Yer.
mont was man of great piety He
/ had prayers at headquarters every
day. In one Of the battles on the
peninsula. in 1852, the rebels sur
prised the brigade OF which the Sixth
Vermont was a part and came down
upon the Yankees like a torrent.
Colonel Barney had great difficulty
in preserving his line of battle. He
went up and down the regiment
swearing like a pirate: but his regi-
ment held its ground and repulsed the
rebels. and that evening he said to
young Burleson. who was a neigh or
Of his in Vermont, and who knew the
family well:
Well. George, we drove them back
handsomely, didn't we?'
''We did that, colonel, but I never
was 50 surprised in my life as was
to hear you swear"
What! heard me swear? / never
swear"
But, colonel, you swore terribly"
why, you are mistaken. / never
swear"
just then one Of the lieutenants Of
the regiment came along and Ser
geant Burleson asked If he noticed
anything peculiar about the colonel
in the battle.
II did, and so did all Of us.
what was it?'' asked the colonel
you swore like an old stager. I
don't know a man in the regiment
who swore as badly as you did in that
fight"
Poor Colonel Barney sat down and
cried like child BY the way, that
Colonel Barney won promotion and in
the battle Of Charlottesville he com.
manded division and was one of the
commanders who did not return back
across the Rappahannoek when
Hooker's army retreated. Virginia's
soil drank his blood and his spirit
went direct from the battlefield of
Charlottesville 70 heaven-even II he
did swear in the battle on the PENN.
