with orders TO cease firing He soon came
back and reported that he could not stop
them. They were Germans and could not
understand why they should stop firing.
They pointed to the dead and wounded.

banging away.
The sun beat down upon ms fercely rs we
sat or lay along the fence. Many wistful
thought went back to the old well and shade
at home. A rebel, taking courage from our
quietness, came up near our line to admin
lister TO wounded comrade. He scanned
our line to see if there was any hostile
demonstration, but We respected his mission
of mercy, and lett him unmolested.
Hello, what the devil are they up TO over
tbere?n
Instantly the line is alert, and all eyes
are watching stirring scene over on the
opposite ridge. Battery after battery was
wheeling into position. The guns were placed
as close together as they could work them.
Several batteries came down into the field
and unlimbered. Soon the ridge was lined
with guns for a mile or more We watched
them as the gunners loaded, then stood at
attention, awaiting the signal.
We were now TO pass through the most
dreaded ordeal that soldier has TO endure.
Any soldier Of experience knows what it is
lying unprotected under the fire Of one bal
terry with no chance TO shoot back We
were IN the line of fire of nearly 300 guns
vi course, we were not expected to be in
much danger from our own guns TO our
rear, but they had to shoot pretty close to
the top Of our ridge, so we got the benefit
Of most of the defective ammunition.
The rebels had about $50 guns massed in
our front We could plainly see most Of
them from our position.
At j O'Clock the signal was given: two
guns were fired over on the right, and two
shells came whzZng over. Immediately
fame and smoke burst from every gun 10
our 'front.' An anxious moment passed
then the rails and dirt few around us /; men
were torn 10 pieces or grievously wounded
some of these that could do 80 went limping
TO the rear; the rest OF us lay down and
made ourselves small ae possible
Pen cannot describe the pandemonium
that now reigned sbos and around u.s. The
air was filed with no Wing, shrieking mis-
siles; shells were bursting all around, and
their flying pieces pattering on the ground
like nuts shaken from tree. Occasionally
groan or shrek would announce that
some unfortunate comrade was hit.
For two long hours the unearthly din was
kept up. We lay there with our nerves
strained TO such a tension that il seemed as
II to speak word would snap them About
) o'clock the firing died away. We got up
and shook ourselves, glad that we had es-
capped so far.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: We were
early astir. As we gathered around our fires,
cooking our breakfast, we discussed the sltu-
alton. We fully realized the n nth would
be placed in great peril if the rebels won
this battle. They had tried both TANKS of
our army, and our men had barely held their
own. To-day they would try the center.
Could we hold them? We would or die.
"Boys,n said Lieut.. Hayden, to-day will
be the decisive battle, and we must whip
them. had rather die than have them
whip u.s. Poor fellow, before night he was
killed.
At noon Co. was sent on the skirmish-
line again. to the left of the position occu-
pied on the 3D. Our line ran along strait
rail fence. on ridge that ran parallel with
Cemetery Ridge, 800 or 400 yards from the
latter.
A company from the Eleventh Corps was
sent to reinforce us; and now came another
exhibition of Official cowardice. Their Can
tain stopped behind tree some % rods
back, and sent his men up 10 the front.
This was more than Capt. Miller could
stand. Whipping out his sword he went
back and soon marched the valiant Captain
MP to the front, much to the delight of his
men.
There was no firing on our part Of the
line, as we had orders not to lire unless they
advanced. but off TO our LEFT some New
York troops kept up constant fusllade.
Orders came down to Capt Miller to have that
firing stopped. He sentSergt Hitchcock down

A Valuable Legacy.

A Valuable Legacy. Every new
discovery in medicine has been hailed with
delight only to be thrown aside because it
could not stand the test of time. This, how
ever. is not the case with DR.. Peters Blood
Vitalizer, the old Swiss-German remedy.
For over century 10 has stood the test of
time, and thousands will testify to its cura-
tive qualities. DIR. Peters Blood Vitalizer
is an article of great merit. 1t not only ex-
pels disease from the body, but it creates
new, rich, red blood, and has proved itself
TO be an excellent tonic. Many have been
fooled with sO-called blood cleansing reme-
dies; therefore, it is but natural that they
delay ordering something they have never
heard of before. All of these DIR. Peter
Fahrney advises to write him for copy of
the Surprise it costs only one cent for u
postal card, aud the certified testimonials
which he finds therein will convince even
the most skeptical Of the real merits of Dr.
Peters remedies. However, those who de-
sire to act as agents for the medicine should
write Immediately for terms. DIR. Peters
Blood Vitalizer is not to be found in drug
stores, and is to be had only Of authorized
local agents. OF from the proprietor, Dr. Peter
Fahrney, 112 South Hoyne Ave-, Chicago
Do not let the druggist, who does not have
the medicine for sale, persuade you that this
and that is just AS good and better. DIR.
Peters Blood Vitalizer is the only one of its
kind, and no other medicine can be substi-
tuted for il.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of Jan. 3, 1895, c. S. Yaroger, Co. II,

Candy charging through the rebel infantry,
then dismounling and limbering up brass
Napoleon, then charging back through the
same infantry 10 our lines, coming out safely
with the gun, rs described in my article in
your issue of Dec. 90, 1894, at Gaines's Mill,
Va
This story may look thin TO the comrade,
but il is nevertheless fact He says the
man or soldier who accomplished such q
brave deed is entitled TO large page in
history and big medal-of-honor i will
agree with him there; and there was not
man of Batteries L and NJ. Sd u. s. Art,
at Harrison's Landing, after the seven days
battle, but thought so too.
Some claimed that because James Candy
WAS man of no education, our Captain did
not recommend him for commission. What
is stranger still, our Captain, / believe, did
not even mention him in his report as q
good soldier. Had this beer volunteer
battery, promotion would surely have fol-
lowed; but in the Regular Army all enlisted
men were supposed to do their full duty,
and TO expect no lavors.
/ could tell Comrade Yaroger of Just as
brave deeds as Candy's at Gainess Mill.
Private Moffitt voluntarily jumped off his
horse and took the sponge-staff out of our
Captains hands and loaded a gun with it,
alter three or four men were shot away from
that gun while in the act of loading it. and
when ii seemed certain death for man TO
attempt TO load it, the sharpshooters being
not 80 yards from the gunners. Yet. in his
report, the Captain simply said he was q
good soldier.
Why, the most daring deeds in the rank
and file were hardly ever properly reported.

Two things strike the visitor with as
constituent at the first view-the great
number of fine residences on all the
commanding points and the many really
magnificent churches. Brooklyn does
not compare with it in that respect. The
highest estimate of the population, in
Guiding Oxanna and other suburbs, is
5000, and it certainly is less than
that. Yet there are Is white churches
and several colored. And some of the
white churches might be called small
cathedrals--imposing structures of gray
and white stone which look as if they
were built for all time. In truth, that
is the great characteristic of the city.
The founders evidently had faith in the
future, for all the hotels, banks and
general business structures are seeming
" as solid as if in New York and Bos-
ton. No city looks less like a boom
town, yet that is just what it is. Other
cities have had booms, but this is the
ideal boom city. 1t completely fills the
bill. Probably no other city of its size
in the country had so sudden and phe-
nomenal a rise, and certainly none suf-
fered a more complete and sudden col
lapse. But this collapse came in 1890,
and the revival was in full progress by
the time the rest of the country began
to decline.
