interesting and important singla fea.
ture OF the new Panther Creek" or
Wilkes Barre q Eastern railroad Ac-
companying the article is II picture of
the completed structure which makes
the description of its height, length
and size seem doubly impressive. Some
of the facts in Mr.. Knights article
have been printed before. but many are
new and all are interesting. Under
the original survey circuitous route
had been laid out which would have
escaped tho Panther Creek ravine as
the colored gentleman proposed to get
the better of the river, by going around
1t. Later it was decided to bridge tho
chasm, This plan involved $500 ad
ditionaI expense, and many engineer
lag difficulties. but 1t saved tins b.
shortening the distance, aud thereafter
it was unhesitatingly decided upon.
The viaduct is 1860 feet long. 1t is
composed Of plate girdsrs, Z feet from
center to center resting on steel tow
ers. There are 30 iron plate girder
spans, each 80 feet long, one 50 feet
one ~ feet, and ten G5 feet long. The
height from the CTsek channel to the
base of rail is 16l feet and from the
tip of masonry to ths base OF rail ia
lj4 fest, g. inches. There arc 20 sup
porting towers, each resting upon
concrete pier, with 16-inch cap stone
/ feet square, The total amount Of
concrete used in the foundations is
? 1853 cubic yards; and it was put in
place between April II and June "a of
last year The erection of the viaduct
was begun, without the use of false
works. June 2S and completed without
loss of life or limb Aug. 3. The differ
ent pieces fitted SO closely that the end
of the last girders came TO within one
sixteenth Of an inch of the engineers
marks on the bridge seat. Twenty
eight days of actual work by forty men

The structure takes rank with the fin

An army panic is like unto nothing

that feeling of terror which makes sery-
lie towards of brave men for few
hours. In so minutes from the first
wild shouts of alarm the highways lead
ing back to Centerville We're cholzed
with the shattered, disorganized and
fleeing Federal commands. Here and
there feeble attempts were made to
check the terrified mob, but each effort
only increased the panic.
What were, they fleeing from? Death?
If SO, almost every man of them had
faced death for hours that day without
fiinching They faced it now. as terri
fed men discharged their muskets and
threw them into the bitches, as remnants
of cavalry commands dashed into the
mass, as feldpieces and limbers and
caissons, drawn by horses which seemed
to have caught the spirit of terror
turned In from the fields at mad gal
lop and rode down every obstruction.
Men fee like shadows from plague,
but they know from what they flee.
Rushing into the highways, fighting
each other as they struggled to reach
the van, stumbling, falling, chill of
fear upon every heart, the army which
had fought so we'll and long streamed
into the hamlet of Certerville. There
was no pursuit. There WASH brigade

was not TO listen, not TO obey, not to

of the men turned and raised cheer
and followed the flag The sight of the
flag and the echo of the cheers put heart
into the beaten regiment. Something
like order came out of confusion, and a
moment later two-thirds of the regi-
ment were fighting over the guns. The
other regiments OF the brigade moved
up, and they came just in time. The
First Michigan and Fourteenth New
York were charging up to support the
Minnesota men and save the guns.
And now for the space of quarter
of an hour 5000 men fought with
bayonet, with clubbed muskets, with
whatever weapon they could wound or
kill. 1t was the fight OF a mob. 1t was

Confederate front. Johnston's troops
have come up from the valley. Ho

CHAPTER I.

SlLAA AA<Ak a.
The day and date is the 2lst of July,
1851.
The scene is tho battle-ground Of first
Bull Run, field made memorable ior-
ever.
From daybreak TO high noon the Fed
eral army under Mcdowell has been
moving down on the Confederate posi-
tion selected weeks ago by the generals
old in the strategy Of war. On the tanks
brigades have grappled IL the open
fields, regiments have dashed at each
ether in the forests and thickets. Here
= little ground Aas been gained, there a
little lost. 1t has been the skirmishing
which precedes every battle, locating the
enemy, testing his readiness, drawing
his strength and uncevsring his designs.
The hour is high noon. The Confed-
crate front has been pressed back, the
left wing shattered. Men looking down
on the battlefield from the hills of Cen
tervills have every movement in plain
view. At 1e o'clock the battle is won
for the Federals. Bee, Barstow and
Evans, who have held the Confederate
center, have been beaten back by Burn
side, Sykes and Porter. They give way
slowly and grudgingly, fighting as they
break back. and they are trying to rally,
when there is clatter of bayonets be-
ing fixed TO muskets, and thousand
men rush forward at the double quick.
II is the New York Twenty seventh, and
Colonel Slocum leads 1t, the first bayonet
charge of the Forwards For
wardl" And the wedge drives into the
Confederate center and rolls the frag-
ments right and lett.
The cheering is heard Q mile away
above the noise Of battle. The Federal
center moves forward to pursue the shat
tered enemy, and ,couriers ride away
with the news, I'VE have pierced the
Confederate center and won the dayr'
Behind the flying Confederates is n
plateau Of 800 acres, comprising two or
three farms. There are two or three
farmhouses, orchards. meadows, thick
cts Of pine, barren fields. Here is Stone

Noon becomes l o'clock. The skir-
mishers are at work all along the front
Of the plateau, but there is no fighting.
Another hour slips away. The Fed
erals have waited too long. AT noon they
could have carried the position with
rush. At o'clock they would have met
with stubborn resistance, but victory
would have perched on their banners.
Now as the Federsls are ready to move
the Confederate 5000 have become TO-
900, and their 10 pieces of artillery
have become go.
A majority of the troops are fresh
and their nerves mistaken, and all are
ready for the grappie.
Thirteen thousand .Eederals move
against the plateau at different points
almost as one man, and the battle opens
with great crash. Under General
Jackson's immediate orders are five or
six regiments. On the right Of his line
is Virginia regiment. On the right Of
that regiment is company from the
Shenandoah valley. They have not boen

OF war. Men looked upon the waving
flags and ripling banners, the march
ing volunteers and the holiday attire and
said to each other:
"Then this is war? Men who have
written of war have deceived us. There
is no suffering, no wounded, no dead.
Let us also join in the march"
But historians had not deceived them.
They were deeeiving themselves. The
beginnsng of war is merriment and
feast. The end is marked by thousands
Of marble headstones bearing the single
word "Unknown"-those and Grape
and tears and desolation. II is 4 o'clock
In the afternoon Of one Of those never to
be forgotten spring days of 1861, re-
.membered now only by gray haired
men and women. The scene is the an
cient town of Winchester, IN the beau
tiful Shenandoah valley, the garden
spot of the Old Dominion. Under cover
of wooden awning sheltering the front
of the old store and postofiice two men
are seated at table borrowed some
where for the occasion. One Of them
wears the uniform Of militia captain;
the other is in citizens dress and has a
list Of names on paper before him.
Hear what the captain is saying to the
men crowding up until they stand six
or eight deep before him.
I've want 60 more men to fill up this
company. Within week we shall be
ordered to the front. We want only
young men and good men. Now, then,
you all who want to go to war and see
some fun put your names down on this
paper. You, there, Steve Brayton, step
