Fifth Texas on the right Of the brigade was
commanded by the gallant Captain Turner,
and az ! rode in his direction | noticed that
an enlisted man. whose name / learned was
Monroe was engaging him in earnest con-
versatiOn.
Before came up, Monroe had left the
Captain and was running like deer in the
direction Of the enemy, who were quick 70
fire on any moving thing. Captain, what
does this mean" asked, as I looked after
the flying figure.
Pointing 10 the trampled corn field in which
so many men, friends and foes lay, the Cap.
tain said Monroe, one Of my men, saw flag
rising and falling bit ago, over near that
that burned stump, and he asked for leave %

Has your regiment lost its Hag?' asked
'No, he replied with pride, whats left Of
the colors Of the Fifth Texas, is still in our
possession and We'll keep it while there's a
man to carry It, and he pointed down the
line to where a lot Of blood-stained tatters
tapped about bullet scared staff.
1T must be Yankee flag, l said, "and II
so, l hardly think It prudent to risk a man On
such a venture
Captain Turner made no reply, but mean
while my attention was drawn TO Monroe, for
was now intensely interested in the outcome
Of this adventure.
He reached the black stump about two
hundred yards away and dropped so suddenly
that at first we thought he was shot. Soon to
our great relief Monroe rose 10 his knees.
Wesaw him lifting a man on his back and that
the man clung to a flag.
Monroe Strengthened up, took quick glance
about him, and then started for our lines. He
was young athletic fellow, but he had no
child's burden. Men were falling back in the
line, and how he escaped is one Of those won.
ders that can never be explained, though he
was slightly wounded in the shoulder.
He brought back with him not a Yankee
and his colors, but the color bearer and flag
Of the Fourth Texas, lost in our retreat
Every man in the brigade saw this exploit
and greeted it with a ringing cheer. The
| colors were saved, and l may add the colo,

the flag would have fallen into the hands o.
the enemy and SO I cannot count his act q,

and 1t Is not intended that what Is related is
the "bravest" In such AN extended service

! Recitals Of such braycst deeds are perhaps
usually confined to active battles where, by
the touch Of elbows and the sense Of com
radeshlp, and amid tho inspiration Of horse
artillery and the rattle of musketry and the
cheers Of comrades, soldiers are deeply
moved to do and dare for country; but too
little attention has been bestowed upon the
lone sentry watching over sleeping army.
