SHOUTED TO RUN FOR OUR LIVES"

four or five regiments of infantry, with
battery of five or six brass guns. In every
direction, all through the woods while we
were passing the advancing regiment, lay
hundreds of both Union and Confederate
dead. broken guns disabled cannon, dead
horses, and other wrecks of the desperate
battle that had ragged back and forth over
that ground for two days. There is no
doubt that the dead and destruction these
new soldiers gazed upon as they passed
along unnerved them.
Then, again, the rattle of the musketry and
laundering of the cannon only couple of
miles away filled the mind and heart of
every man with the thought of what his fate
might be. The rebel army was being driven

He evidently thought the danger at hand
more serious than that from which he was
fleeing, for he about-faced, set the staff of his
flag on the ground and listened to what we
had TO say.
In moment or two he walked to an open
space, and began calling to his comrades to
rally around the flag. Many did SO, but
more threw their guns into the mud, took
Oh their cartridge boxes and ran the faster

banner, and rallied around them several
