| the important information, and by his di-
rection / accompanied her portion of the
way toward her home. She told me where
she lived, with her mother and two old
trusty servants, and assured me of q well
come under their roof if circumstances ever
called me there. Absolutely refusing
further company, we parted-she to her
home, to my command.
The following evening found MS on the
alert all along the line, with posts doubled
in strength and heavy reserve in waiting
just in rear OF the center of our line on
either side of the main road, believing that
any considerable number would be more,
sure TO advance from that direction. In the
pit with me were two as good soldiers as
the regiment contained. Midnight came
and went, with not sign of an enemy. Just
as we were beginning to think we would be
disappointed, off in the distance we could
hear the barking of dog-under these cir
cumstances almost certain evidence that
someone was stirring in that direction.
What the devil is that" said young
Jimmy Carroll, one of my comrades. add
you hear 1t? Somebody's SICK" said he;
" did you hear that groan?"
Again low moan, as if someone In dis
tress could be heard not far in our front.
Hist! There they come" The figures
of three persons on foot appeared in full
view on the main road.
They're niggers. Don't you see that
they have bundles Oh their heads"
Seeming 20 know they were near our post,
one cried out:
Hello dar; where is you-all?"
You keep them covered" said l; "Fll
call them in. Come on, uncle" said l;
come in"
How many is dey of you?" said he;
ives refugees"
No one but myself" said I come on"
And on they came down the road all three
abreast.
Niggers h-!o said Carroll. ibid you
ever coons walk except by file" Here's
for business" said he, as he opened his car
tridge-box and laid his revolver at his side.
And with three carbines at ready" we
waited.
Just as they neared our position one of
the three caught his foot in something,
stumbled, and fell. A revolver in his hand.
ready for use, was discharged. Before the
echo had reached its iarthest limit the crack
of three carbines sent two of the bogus ne
groes into eternity, and the third one rs he
rose went down by shot from Carrolls
ready revolver.

Sime being organized at Harrisburg, and ere
we had became proficient enough in military
affairs for active service in the field the
clash of arms and the roar of artillery such
rs had never before been heard on this con-
tinent reverherated through the peaceful
old Cumberland Valley, and Gettysburg had
been fought and the invaders driven back
to the shores Of Virginia, defeated and de-
iected, but not by any means untitled for
still prOlOnging the conflict for two long
years. Aud from this date begins the strange
and interesting part of my experience.
When the armies of Lee retreated, in his
efforts to gain the southern side of the Poto-
mac his main force followed the south side
of the range of the Blue Ridge, known as
the South Mountain. One division of cav
airy, with the trains and other camp equip
ments, passed over the mountain and west
ward, proceeding in a most demOralized con-
ditiOn, closely followed by our cavalry under
Gen. Ayerill.
Bang bang, bang, rang out the sharp crack
of the carblnes, mingled with the yells of
the troopers In Ayerill's advance column,
and it seemed to send CONSERVATION into the
hearts of the flying Confederates, as they
passed up the turnpike road leading past the
home of my parents, on the morning Of July
T. 1els and cutses resounded loud and
furious horses were unhitched from
wagons, and drivers, quickly mounting,
sought to make good their escape. Just in
front of our home one of the ambulances,
furiously driven, overturned, throwing the
occupant, young wounded Confederate
officer, out by the side of the dusty road.
Scarcely noticing him, on went the pursuers
II was not in the kind, womanly heart of

boy, living in one of the border Counties OF
southern Pennsylvania, and passing through
the exciting and chaotic business period
caused by the rebel raids and rumors OF In

swiftly through Mars land aud the southern

Comradc Bowers Declared to lie Wrong
about Nelson's Retreat.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of June ii, Comrade Bowers, of Co. Fl,
8 h Pa. Cav, is wrong when he says he
found either blankets or overcOats Of the
52i Ohio on the retreat of Nelson's army
from Lexington, in September, 1862 We
had no oserc0ats to throw away, and no
blankets. How could lie tell whose they
were, if he did find any, there being no
names or numbers on them? When we
left Lexington, we did burn all clothing
save what we needed for present use.
As to the 9th Pa. Cav. covering our regi-
ment in that retreat, we were the rear-guard
and in line-of-battle every day, one day Fl We
times. At one place the regiment filed into
a small plat of ground surrounded by hedge
fence. The rebel cavalry appeared on the
hill beyond and Col. Dan McCook planted
two old brass pieces in the road ard limbered
up. The rebs skedadled.
Where was the 9th Pa. Cav. on that Oc-
cast n? That was the time we needed help.
1t was then the rebs were picking up our
sira glers, worn out and unable to travel
farther. All our loss was from the capture
of men unable to stand the hardships and
priyations from want Of rations, rest and
water. 1 did see some cavalry as we APP
preached Sbelbyville, KY, coming in on a
road north of us. / did not see the 9th Pa.
Cav. on that retreat; that is, to know them
by designation. l did not see any armed
forces between us and the rebel cavalry

from Louisville. II Comrade Bowers has
