During the war | recall signal in
stance of true bravery. Gen. Forrest
(who prior TO that had, single-handed.
rescued a young man from a mob of
infuriated lynchers) received sew
eral complaints from the captain
of one of his artillery companies
regarding the conduct of a young
officer. on the score of deficient
courage. Finally he felt compelled to
issue an order relieving the young man
from duty with that company; but out
of regard for his feelings no mention
was made in the order OF the general
for issuing it. There could be ne doubt
in the officers mind, however, as 10 his
commanders reasons for this step, and
Gen. Forrest was we'll aware that the
young man understood.
He was therefore rather surprised to
receive visit shortly afterwards from
this same officer, and he asked for an
explanation. In angry tones the officer
demanded to know on what grounds the
order had been issued. The man evil
IDENTIFY meant mischief. His right hand
was in his coat pocket, and the general
was Unarmed and alone, but he did not
finch. because, Sir. you nave been
reported by your commanding officer re-

amined the wound. He found that the

eral." he said. "you have not long to

Forrest had been lying in dazed con-
dition on the ground, apparently help
less. When the surgeon had uttered
these words he jumped up, and rushed
to pursue his assassin. Disabled as he
was, the fleeing man could not escape
him.
Gen. Forrest caught HIM and killed
him with penknife, the only weapon
in his possession, although the man had
several barrels of his revolver still
loaded.
Another instance of bravery that
nOtlceu on many occasions during the
bombardment of Fort Sumter was the
replacing of the flag. The heroes in
this case were not men whose family
traditions might act as an incentive to
gallantry. They were recruited from
the poorer classes of Richmond, Balti-
more and other cities, much on the plan
of the enlistment.
After the works on Ellis island bad
fallen into the hands of the Federals
the fire on Fort Sumter, which was
within easy range. became quick and
continuous. So hot did the canGOnad-
ing become that it was not an unusual
thing for the flag on the lofty staff at
the end of the fort to be shot away.
Whenever this happened the men wed
with each other In being first to replace
it. They would expose themselves to
shower of missiles. and then one of
their number would cliumb up the flag
staff and replace the colors.

Lieut.. Barksdale Warwick, as brave a
young officer as the Confederates could
boast. was only nineteenat the time he
met his death i'll April, 1865. 1T was
then that the Union troops broke our
line at Petersburg, and at the same time
assaulted the Confederate right at Bur-
CESS Mills. My fathers command was
stationed at the latter place.
Imagine one of those typical Southern
Sawmills; the forest of trees all about
it. with swamp in the background.
The opposing forces had long and
desperate fight for the mastery of this
position, but our men had finally to give
way before overwhelming numbers.
Gradually they were driven back. They
had stood for some time blazing away
into each others faces. On our side it
was question of retreat, or desperate
charge. Just then Lieut.. Warwick ran
over to my father, and, with a bright
smile on his face, exclaimed, General,
let US charge Them" "Order the char ge,
my brave boy" said my father; and
Warwick. with drawn sword, leaped
upon top of one of the SaWlogS sur
rounding the mill. With the words
halfway out of his mouth, and sword in
air. he was struck in the center of the
forehead. He sunk as gently as child
going to sleep to sitting position. his
head leaning backwards on the log and
sword still in hand. and there they left
him when our troops fell back few
moments later.
Lieut.. Warwick. had devoted servant
who had followed him from his home in
Richmond, through the entire campaign,
and was the cook for the brigade staff.
This man was holding the staff horses
on the road in the rear of the position.
Our men fell back. My father and his
surviving staff returned TO the horses,
and Warwick's man. alarmed and dis
tressed, asked my father anXiOusly for

Gen. Wise told him in brief words
what had happened. He is lying in

ton of the mills. Instead of making
the black boy left his horse and threw
himself into ditch near by. The
Union troops passed over him in pur-
suit of our forces. either not noticing
him or not caring for him il they saw
him.
When it became safe to do so the
servant quietly maue way to the mills
and found his masters boy, He took
away the watch, trinkets and valuables,
and then buried his master, marking
the grave as best he could. He made
his way back TO Richmond and de-
livered the valuables TO poor Warwick's
mother.

States cavalry, who fell, seriously
wounded, at the battle of Kernstown, a
few days after the event to which my
story relates.
The exact date of the Incident was
July Is, 1864. Our regiment formed part
OF the advance thrown out by Gen.
Wright from his corps. which numbered
1900 men. The advance was composed
OF brigade under Gen. Thoborn.
The enemy, under Gen. Rhodes, con-
Sisting OF an entire division, proved too
much for our inferior numbers. We
were forced to retreat.

necessary to describe the scene of the
operations. The Federal position was
on the same side of river the Kappa
hammock, L think-as the rebels: with
the unfortunate feature that we were
between the enemy and the stream,
which was, however, fordable. The
opposite bank rose in undulating slopes.

Facing us was open country, with a
good deal of wooded ground on our
right. Among the trees were the hos
pital tents.
BY the time that our forces were be.
ginning to waver before the enemy day-
light had partly given way. The enemy
made determined assault and broke
through our line, parting it in the middle.
The left sectionwas somehow overlooked
by them, and they concentrated their
forces to the task of driving our right
! into the river. This was accomplished.
Many reached the other shore in safety,
but hundreds were drowned in the deep
holes that abounded there, and MANY
