YOUNG HEROES OF THE WAR
New Jersey Youths Who Rendered Their
Country Gallant Service.
CHARGE lid BY A BOY
Daniel Williams Of This City Enlisted
As Drummer When But Eleven
Years Old.

The history OF tie civil war is replete
with instances OF Heroic deeds performed
on bloody battlefields by soldiers on
whose faces The dawn of youth still lin
gered The American youth was never
seen TO greater advantage than when
fighting for the preservation of the Union
from 1861 TO 60, and many of those who
achieved brillia1t Populations as soldiers,
and were honored by the recognition of
their country, had pot reached the age OF
manhood when the struggle ceased.
Among the earliest martyrs to the cause
We're young men like Ellsworth, Winthrop,
Needham, Whitley and Ladd, and scores
of others from all parts Of the country.
Every loyal State sent her quota OF fairest
youth TO fight for the flag, but In no state
was the proportion of young men and boys
who entered the service greater than in
New Jersey. Many of her regiments were
made up almost exclusively or Voiunteer
who had barely attained their majority,
and among the rank and file of her regi-
ments were some of the bravcst and most
deserving soldiers who were, as the world
counts the years of life, mere boys.

two days later, with young Williams at the
head OF the regiment, they crossed the
RappahannOCk under mUrGerous fire and
stacked i!fms in Fredericksburg.
The next day Kimball'S brigade, TO
which t1e Twenty-fourth had been as
signed, went into action, and young Will

flung aside his drum, aud knapSaCk, and
rendered valuable assistance in caring
for the wounded and dying. Williams he
haved with great gaiiantry throughout
the engagement and Won for himself the
title of Drummer Boy of Fredericksburg" :"
His services did not end. however, with
the Twentv-fourth Regiment. Five days
after his discharge he enlisted at Phila-
delphia as drummer in Company c, Fifty

better known as Birney's Fire Zouaves.

At the battle of fredericksburg he took

loved in the forefront of his comrades.

THE HERO OF MURFREESBORO.
Among the many instances of youthful
intrepidity and daring none, perhaps, ex-
ceeded III all the points of real subIimity
those which are furnished In the career
Of Drummer william Magee, of the Thirty
third New Jersey Regiment, and the hero
Of Murfreesboro. This lad, for he was
only lad, entered the service at fifteen
years of age.
Though entering the service as a drum
mer boy, he by no means confined himself
to the duties Of his specific sphere He
had a knack of fighting as well as drum
ming, and withal exhibited an apprecia-
tion of the methods of warfare which
qualified him for the most surprising ex.
ploits. One of these, at least, was equal
in splendor of execution and grandeur OF
result to any which the history of the
war records.
1t will be remembered that in the fall
of 1864, after Sherman had swung loose
from his base and started on his stately
March to the Sea-" Hood, with an army
of 10000 menol laid seige to Nashville

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
The smoke of the battle of prima-
ries has passed way, and I am not
sore. thank those who supported
me, and those who thought best to
do otherwise, I think none the less
of them. The one that went over
the county reporting I was in favor
Of buying road plow-expensive
machinery-knew that it was false
when they were repeating it. There
is one class I am sorry for, it is those
who thought wonld do too much
on the public roads. I think the
road hands are required to do too
much work lose too much time on
public roads. I entered the race for
Supervisor hoping I could improve
the public highways with the same
time spent or less. Our roads in
the clay sections are getting in a
" ,rse condition all the tine. With
your permission I will give the pub
lie my views on the present road
law, and what I think it should be.
