troops. The oars seemed to be from
fifteen to twenty feet long. The Jersey
men themselves handled them. As they
pushed from the shore some men in the
boats refused to work the oars. Throw
ing themselves on the bottom of the
boat, they remained there, deaf to all
entreaties to bear hand.
In one boat there was a thin young
fellow, about eighteen years old. He
had entered the army out of pure
patriotism. He tugged at the long oar
for all he was worth. Having some
knowledge of boat, he kept her from
drifting sidewise on the current of the
river. The shots came faster and faster
from the Confederate rifle pits, and Sc v
eral men were killed.
The young fellow cursed at every
sweep of the oar. His lieutenant in the
bow was officer of the day, and the red
sash was drawing the fire of the enemy.
His boat was the second to make the
landing on the opposite side of the Rap
pahannnck. The bank was quite high,
and the rife pits some distance back.
The high bank shut off the Confederate
bullets.
AS the men stepped ashore, the young
JerSeyman found himself at the foot of
path leading up the steep bank of the
river. There was neither time nor space
for formation. While Others at their
paths were disputing as to who was to
take the lead, the Jersey boy did not
hesitate. He could not have weighed

the 'front.'" he started up the path. The
nervous effort required was so apparent
in his face that he was as white as a
sheet and fairly frothed about the
mouth. Up the path he went with the
agility of squirrel, followed by Cor
poral Bill Brown, Jakey Drew and
other members of Company A, of the
Twenty-siXth, known as the Mohawk
Gang.
1t requires superiative nerve to head
the column taking the path. The Con-
federate pits were not fifty yards from
the edge Of the bank above. The first
man to show himself on the plateau was
| almost sure to be riddled with bullets
| The boy kept on. As he neared the top
| of the bank he made spring, prepara-
tory to landing on the level and making
a rush for the pits. He miscalculated
the distance, faltered. and fell back in
the arms Of Corporal Brown.
"Shot dead" said Brown. ''sure;
Jakey, catch him."
The cannons were roaring behind on
the other bank of the river. and the
spitefnl sputter of musketry was in
| front.

With an enthusiastic yell he led the
rush. Not bullet touched him. The
Floridians saw that there was 10 escape
| and ceased firing. In less than minut q
the Union troops were in the pits. while
few of the Confederates took thel
chances Of escape by scattering over a
wheat field Several hundred Floridi-
ans were taken prisoners.
This was as brave an incident as !
saw during the war. The boy simply
nerved himself to do his duty, while
many of those around him were finch

TOLD By CONGRESSMA
MORSE.

The bravest deed | ever saw in my
two enlistments in the army occurred
at the battle of Camp Bisland, during
Gen. Banks advance upon Alexandria,
on the Bayou Teche. 1t was in the
spring of '63. The Union troops were
advancing to dislodge the enemy at
that point, were in line of battle in
front of the enemy's works. and were
hourly expecting to assault the same.
The ConfederateS had their works
mounted with some real cannon, and
more wooden ones; this incident oc-
CURED about sun down. The Confed
crates emerged from the woods, with a
tremendous yell, upon the left
flank of the Union line, IN
tending to turn our flank, and
rout US before the assault could
be made upon their fortiflcation,
mounted and manned as before stated.
At this juncture Maj. Gen. Banks with
his flag and staff rode to the front.
Gen. Banks sat on his horse looking at
the assaultipg party through his glass;
when solid shot FROM the enemy's
works struck the ground in front OF his
horse, and covered the horse and rider
from head to foot with dirt. Gen.
Banks sat unmoved and continued his
observation, simply brushing the dirt
out of his whiskers and motioned his
flag to the rear. which made him SO
conspicuous a mark. [ was but few
feet from the general wnen this oc-
Cured, standing in my company IN line
of battle. We slept on our arms that
night, expecting to make the assault in
the morning, but that night the Con-
federates retreated from their works up
the bayou and left US in peaceful pos
session. This was one of Gen. Banks
preliminary movements for the invest
ment and capture of Port Hudson,
which place surrendered to him in July,
1868. ELIJAH A. MORSE.

The light winds signing about her,
Down by the garden gate,
With her small face resting upon her hands,
Stands pensive, bonny Kate.
A sad light lies in her azure eyes
AS she stands by the garden gate,
And sad smile curves the pensive lips
OF beautiful, bonny Kate.
The murmuring winds whisper low in her
ear,
The roses climb DER the garden gate,
But they bring no mirth to the deep, sad eyes
OFFENSIVE, bon ny Kate.
She has waited here where the zephyrs blow
And the vines creep over the garden gate,
And the weary hours have come and gone,
Bringing no tidings to bonny Kate.
No tidings of one who went away,
Who bid her farewell at the garden gate,
And whispered low as the zephyrs do.

True she has been, but where is her

Desolate, unhappy and alone

cause which they respectively held to
be the right, it must follow that acts of
heroism became the order of the day.
In fact, every true soldier becomes a
hero, given the occasion and oppor-
tuniIy. | am asked to relate one par
ticular incident of the war, and will
select for that purpose the action OF the
two brigades under Gen. Butterfeld's
command at the second battle of Bull
Run, in which the heroiSm of rank and
file deserves all credit; the more so be-
cause it has been attempted to show
that they took no part i'll the engage
meut.
The brigades the one commanded by
Gen. Barnes and the other by Gen.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with that of Gen.
Griffin. formed MorrelPs division. Gen.
Morrell, with Griffin's brigade, did not
reach Manassas in time for the battle.
He had taken wrong route, which
brought him to Centerville, Va. The
senior officer present happened to be
Gen. Buttertield, and he was accord
ingly in charge of the division, minus
Griffin'S brigade
l had been ordered to send my COM
mand, of which the Morrell division
formed part, to make an attack upon
the enemy, who were said to be retreat
ing. This superstition afterwards
proved to be false, as then anticipated,
contrary to the positive assertion of the
commanding officer. Jackson's men
occupied strong position behind rail
road embankment, from which they had
to be disodged. This fell to the share
principally of Gen. Butter6eld's COM
mand, although the entire corps and
Kings division, under Gen. Hatch,
engaged in il. Butterfeld and his men,
among them being the Thirteenth. Sew
enteenth and F0rty-fourth New York,
Eighteenth and Twenty-second Massa-
chusetts, Eighty-third Pennsylvania
volunteers and Stockton'S Michigan
regiment, were in the hottest of the
fight. Amid storm of bullets which
decimated their ranks the two brigades
made the attack and drove Jackson's
forces away; but they were met by
others, and got into such a collision
that neither the one nor the other had
time to load their guns, and they had
their fight with stones and the butts of
their muskets. After a while Gen.
Butterfield was able to withdraw his
command, having lost over one-third of
his forces.
In that fight 1 had over 6,OOO men
altogeth er and lost over 2. 100.
Another circumstance in connection
with that same battle was the repulse
of Longstreet's forces. The credit fol

signal instance of bravery and daring
from among the many instances Of that
character which long campaign Is sure
to bring forth, and | am not alone In
considering it worthy of mention. The
incident formed the subject of a COM
mandatory dispatch on the part of Gen.
Lee himself, and was the first occasion
to my knowledge that a private was
singled ont by the commander-in-chief
for this distinction.
Private William r. Bolick was the
recipient of this honor, and the deed
that brought him to Gen. Lees notice
was briefly narrated as follows:
1t was Indispensable that our COM
mander should have exact information
as to the whereabouts of Gen. Reade's
quarters. Gen. Lee accordingly sent to
Gen. Wade Hampton with the request
to have the enemy's quarters located.
Gen. Hampton, who was then my inn
mediate commander, transferred the
order to me. Having had occasion to
commend Bolick for his bra very and
daring in difficult undertakings previ-
ously, l selected him 70 the task. Bo-
lick and a comrade of his. Virginian
named Curtis, who always accompanied
him on dangerous missions set out upon
the expedition.
They successfully located the quarters
of the Union general towards the even
ing OF that day, but Bolick was not sat-
iSfed with having run the danger they
had already encountered. He was de-
te:mined to ascertain everything about
the interior of the camp. The two men
crept stealthily past the outposts,
shielded by the darkness. They crept
up to within few hundred feet Of the
generals tent, when they came upon
guard of seven men. The men were all
asleep and had piled their arms to-
gether. These were carefully removed
to distance. Then Bolick and Curtis
drew their revolvers and awoke the
sleepers. eff you move or say a word
you are dead men," said Bolck, point
ing his weapon The soldiers looked
for their arms in vain, AID saw that re-
sistance meant death. They decided to
give in, feeling sure that aid would be
forthcoming.
Bolick calmly ordered the men to rise
and march, telling them to he silent
He and Curtis guided the guard with
pointed pistols. AS they were passing
fence TWO of the prisoners suddenly
jumped over it and made their escape.
Bolick did not fire. neither did Curtis.
They knew that it would bring the
whole federal camp about their ears If
they did. So they quietly proceeded on
their way with the tive remaining pris-
oners and safely reached our quarters.
Gen. Lee personally wrote to me to
| thank Bolick for his bravery in eXecut-
| ing the dangerous task entrusted to
him. The information he had obtained
proved of the greatest Importance to the
| movements of our army at that lime.

1t was my fortune to command in
several regiments of New York infantry
in the last war and to witness many
acts OF fearless devotion to duty and I'M
| fiinching heroism. With so many in
stances of bravery and daring within
my recollection it is hard to select one
that may be classed as pre-emirent.
! Still. think that the palm may be
| awarded to a colonel OF one of the regi-
] mentS that formed part of my brigade
! and those who were witnesses of his
! heroic action will agree with me in be-
slowing upon him the due appropriations
or his valor.
Col. Abel Smith, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
commander of the 165th New York
regiment, is the brave man to whom l
refer.
The deed which am about to des-
| crlbe was performed at the storming of
/ Fort Hudson, when so many thousands
lost their lives in the attempt to capture
the enemy's position.
A solid parapet surmounted by a
blazing row of muskets confronted u.s.,
pouring out deadly stream of bullets.
! That was not all. for in addition to this
shower of small shot there was the re-
peated booming of cannon with the
swish OF the screaming grape-shot as it
| ploughed vast burrows in the ranks of
the attackers.
Regiment after regiment had gone
boldly to the front, always with the
same result-it was impossible to stem
the torrent Of lead poured out against
| them, and they were forced to retire.
| leaving great numbers of their slain.
The scene was enough to make the
boldest heart quail. To rush at that
| parapet amounted to an advance on GER
| tain death. Finally the turn of the
| One Hundred and Sixty-Fifth New
York came round to attempt the effort
that had proved fatal to so many com
rades. The meu were marched TO a
position within range of the parapet,
! and then ordered to lie down for protec-
ton. With the sight of so many dead
| comrades before them it was necessary
| to instil spirit of bold resolve into the
men for the desperate work before
them, and this was done by their COM
mander.
Going to the front of his command,
Col. Abel Smith stood erect in the midst
of the storm of bullets. and appealed to
his men to follow him to carry the
| works.
When his immediate comrades urged
him to lie down and not expose himself
to certain death, he smilingly replied
in the words that were used by Ma.
poleon on similar occasion: 1.-THE bull
let that is to end my life has not vel
been cast"
AS he said those words he turned r.
his bugler to order the charge. The
| whole regiment had felt the contagiou
of his bravery, and rose as one man TO
follow him.
But at that moment. when he turned
to lead his men onward, the words he
had uttered to encourage his comrades
were belied, tor he fell pierced through
the heart by the bullet he had disre-
garded. FELIX AGNUs.

On June ), 1868, the Second brigade
of the Second division of the Sixth
army corps was opposite Deep Run, TWO
miles from Falmouth. 1t was a bright,
sunny day. \ Florida brigade was en-
sconced in the rifle pits on the opposite
side of the river. A United States bat
terry took a position on the bank of the
river on dead level with these pits.
There was furious cannonading, no guns
from the Contederates making any
reply. In fact, they had no guns.
The demonstration was made to cover
the launching of pontoon boats, used
afterwards to transport the Twenty
sixth New Jersey across the river. The
bullets from the cannon ricochetted
toward the sunken road to Richmond,
filled the air with puffs of dust. and
sent the wanderers of the Florida bri-
gade to the pits for protection.
Down the steep bank of the river
went the wagons carrying the pontoons.
They were launched amid shower of
bullets and quickly filled with Jersey
