and ordered to surrender.
At the third summons Sergeant
Waldron, abandoning hope Of rescue,
laid down his arms and placed him
self in the care of his captor. A mu-
tual introduction ensued and Mr.. Wal
dron discovered that he had given
himself up to Virginian by the name
of w. R. Hall. 1t happened that both
were men Of education and intelli-
gence and they spent several pleas
ant hours in each others society, swap
ping news and anecdotes and forming
an acquaintance. They were unusually
congenal, and when the summons
came for the Virginian's regiment to
move forward and for Mr.. Waldron TO
prepare himself for the journey to Lib
by prison, the men parted regretfully,
knoming full we'll the vicissitudes of
war and not daring 10 cherish hope
of renewing the warm friendship at its
close.
Eighteen months ago former Ser
geant Wadron wrote description OF
this incident to the The Confederate
Veteran, and in short while was
agreeably surprised to receive a letter
from Mr.. Hall. A lengthy correspon-
dence followed and identification com
ple,ely established. Mr.. Waldron,
! who now resides in Wolaka, Fla. :,
where he has been a postmaster and
is now a prominent citizen, learned
that his cap,or was married and was
living in Richmond. Memories OF old
times revived, and anxious to once
again behold each other and recount
pas. experiences, Mr.. Hall extended
a passirg invitation to Mr.. Waidron
and his wife TO visit Richmond during
the great Confederate reunion in 1896,
which was accepted.
The visitors arrived in due time and
as the carriage drew up to the entrance
of the Hall residence Mr.. Waldron
confesses that peculiar feelings took
possession of him. Ex Sergeant Hal
was sitting on the porch and as the car
rage stopped fastened down 'h'

forward movement, the dead lay as if
some one had measured an accurate
line and then placed them in order
upon it. Then, apparently came the
forward dash, and here and there they
lay as they had plunged head foremost
in the rush for the Confederate lines.
So far all were clad in blue, but
where the clash had come and the op-
posing lines had met, then gray and
blue lay side by side or one athwart
the other. Some faces had a smile
upon them, others had surprised and
startled look, while Others expressed
agony and despair, and still others
had look of hate and defiance as if
they had fought to the very death.
Looking over the portion Of the held
where we were, we saw broken limbs
hanging from trees where shot and
she'll struck, trees cut down with solid
shot, or split and shattered, the ground
torn up and plowed as the death mes
sengers sped along, broken wheels OF
artillery wagons and ambulances scat
tered about; these, with the dead that
Law amid them all, made picture SO
internal, so barbarous and lnhuman,
that the thirty years that have inter
vened have utterly failed TO diminish
its horrors.
We loaded every ambulance we had
with the wounded and dying, and
started on the long march toward AL
