would force us to seek shelter in the woods
where there were few pieces of almost
useless artillery. As we had done again
ana again during the day, we drove the
enemy PACK. and were again sobjected TO a
perfect rain OF shells. The Fifth Texas,
on tne right OF the brigade, was CON-

an enlisted man. whose name | learned

conversation.
before l came up Monroe had left the
captain and was running like deer In the
eerection or the enemy, who were quick to
Ire on any moving thing. "Captain, what
does this mean ?" | asked, as looked after
the living figure.
folntlng TO the trampled corn field, in
which so many men, friends and foes. lay,
the CAPTAIN said: Monroe, one OF my men,
saw flag rising and falling bit ago over
near that burned stump. and he asked for
leave to go out and get it."
Has your regiment lost its flag?" |
asked. No. he replied with pride, whats
left OF the colors of the Fifth Texas is still
IN our possession and Wen keep it while
there's man 10 carry it," and he pointed
down the line to where lot of blood

Captain Turner made no reply, but

HE DID NOT SAVE THE BULLET.

One of the most conspicuous examples
of persistent nerve and endurance that
came under my eyes during the war &C.
not far from Salem Church and Fredericks-
burg. We had been camped during the
night on the Falmouth side of the
Rappahannock. In the morning we crossed
to Fredericksburg. driving the Confeder-
ates before US, and capturing the Was hing
ton Artillery. brigade from Louisiana.
Fredericksburg Heights were occupied,
and the Sixth Corps pushed on 90 Salem
Church, four miles farther on, and there
met another body of the enemy aud engaged
them in fierce fighting. Company A of the
Ninetv-third Pennsylvania, of which was
member, was, with the regiment, in
very uncUmfortab bic position. Though the
men were falling all around me | took par
ticular notice, quite naturally, of my own
bunkmate, E. G. Euston. who fell. appar-
emily killed or mortally wounded, almost
at my side. Amid the roar of the cannon
aiding and the frghtful rattle or the mus
kerry | shall never forget how it occurred
to me that poor Euston was gone and that
| would have to hunt up another bunk
mate. Later in the day the tide Of battle
turned in favor of the Con federates. We
were repulsed with great loss and before
night were compelled to fall back and
recrossed during the night to the Falmouth
side.
When about to go into camp felt abou {
as gloomy as a man could be capable of
feeling, at the loss of my mate, and was
proceeding to look out for a new COM
panion for bunk and mess. when saw

HE SAVED THE CoLoRs.

Before writing my story have read over
with care all the "Brayest Deeds" SO far
published, and l note that without excep-
ton the writers declare Ii Is the most diff
cult to recall some one man or act and
point to 1t as except onal. Speaking for
myself, and l am sure IL is the experience
Of other officers, valor was go usual that IL
was only an act of cowardice that I'M
pressed one, and Of this. | must confess,
saw but little. In bodies men would uD-
dertake things that could not be thought
of by smaller numbers, and then again
field officers did not have an opportunity
to note individual acts.
From the many rushing through my
mind | select one, not because think the
hero was the brayest man l ever saw, but
because this act was uncalled for and
