We took up our position at the house of
Maj. Green, of the rebel army. and threw out
our Nidets, this being in the night. We
stayed there till in the afternoon, when the
rebels began to bother us consider ably. The
Captain sent one of the boys towards town
to Ind out what was going on. He reported
that the army had passed through Salem in
the direction Of White Sulphur Springs. and
the town was full of rebels. There was no
way for us to escape except through the

was directly IN the center Of the town.
The captain ordered us to mosnt and

made more noise than regiment. We
went right at Them, shouting at the tops OF

member of the 122d N. Y, but served with
the Second Division, Sixth Corps Sharp
shooters, in 1865 and at Sailors Creek. We
made our advance on the enemy under
very heavy fire of artillery rs rapidly as
possible through the water, with mud and
mire of the creek for some distance. The
shots of our own artillery were passing over
us, destroying the enemy's ranks, while we
were ascending the higher ground from the
creek and facing the enemy.
We nearly reached the rebel line, when
its shattered ranks broke leaving the ground
covered with dead and wounded. At this
point our artillery ceased firing and we
went across the fields in hot pursuit, press
ing the rebels rapidly for q long distance,
with every move to our encouragement.
We there saw q mounted rebel officer and
his Aids making quick time toward our left,
undoubtedly running from the cavalry on
our right flank. Our commanding officer
Maj. Terrill, of the Sharpshooters-then
ut the hight of his voice, sang out: Gen.
Ewell ahead! On men Get him aliye!"
We were in short shooting distance, and
could have brought him to the ground. We
made no delay in swinging our line around,
and apparently had Gen. Ewell in our hands
near piece of woods, which we would pre-
vent him from entering, but there we were
surprised to see q regiment rise to their
feet from behind fence with orders to halt

small company of sharpshooters immedi-

while he remained mounted. Gen. Ewell
then pleasantly said to us:

however, always regretted that the honor of
the capture did not fall to us, as we ex-
