from its shelter and greet him. He sent
the nimblest footed of his following on de-
tours to farmhOuses to the right and left of
the course to learn if anything had been
heard from the Kallimakis farm, or whether
the family had made its way thither.
All1hese came back with the same sicken-
ing lack of news, but bringing with them
as willing recruits for the band all the able
bodied men at the farms, so that as the after
noon wore on, there were nearly 100 men
following Basil Kanaris's leadership.
From time to time fate would mock Basil
by showing female forms in the distance,
which his eager heart would force into re-
semblance 10 that OF his beloved. He would
run eagerly toward them, until at closer
view heart-sickness would mingIe with an
ger that he could ever mistake such ignoble
forms for the divine one of Ida Kallimakis.
AS they reached the lower lands, where
there were occasional Turkish families, these
would descry the horde afar, be seized with
panic at another raid of the dreaded
Sphakiots, and hastily bringing out their
riding animals, mount and scurry away in a
cloud of dust.
Just as the sun was setting Basil reached
the top of hill from which the Kallimakis
farm could be seen. 1t was still an hours
travel distant He studied the scene long
and anxiously, while waiting for his COM
panions to come up. The farmhouse and
its adjacent buildings were still standing,
cleaning white and peaceful as of yOre.
There had been no fire, at least. But his
sinking heart told him that twas too peace
ful--it was the peace Of the grave. He
could see none of the figures moving about,
engaged in household or farming tasks, such
as he had often watched from that hill, and
tried to distinguish his Ida's form among
them. There were not even cattle in the
meadows, nor horses working i'll the fields as
long as the suns light lasted.
Darkness came on alter sunset with the
suddenness characteristic of southern lands
and another hope vanished from Basil's heart
when not one of the many usual lights
cleaned from the Kallimakis homestead.
In the happy past-it was only the week
before that he had last seen it, but it seemed
years away-he had been fond of noting
with loving eye the light from the windows
in Ida's own chamber as he approached the
house after dark.
All in the house were certainly gone-but
whittier, aud why? That was torture.
To BE- continued.

An E,.vep.h-Hour Regiment.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: wish to
highly commend you for the able editorials
defending volunteer regiments that went
out the last part of the war and saw more
hard service in one and one-half years than
half Of the regiments who went out In 1861.
( You mention regiments which were in my
corps and division. My regiment, the I'd
Pa. Prov. Fl. A., Ninth Corps, lost 270 men
killed outright and mortally wounded, and
80 died in prison during the 1854 campaign.
I was taken prisoner inside the rebel works
at Burnside's Mine explosion, July 80, 1864,
and not released until the close, at Libby
Prison.
You understand that my regiment was
divided in the Spring of 1864, the Provisional
going out and joining Grant at the Wilder
ness fight. The old regiment finally joined
the Eighteenth Corps in June. The Pro-
visional was badly slaughtered during that
campaign. WILSON, Los Gatos,

received no answer to this at the
time, and the next day went on to
Rome, where the news came that Hood
bad made his appearance at Resaca, and
had demanded the surrender of the
place, which was commanded by Col.
Weaver, reinforced by Breyet Brig
Gen. Raum. Gen. Hood had evidently
marched with rapidity up the Chattooga
Valley, by Summerville, Lafayette,
Ships Gap. and Snake-C Creek Gap, and
had with him his whole army, except a
small force left behind TO watch Rome.

road all he could, be would be likely tc

Idid not want him to do; and, hearing

CLARK R. WEAVER Commanding Officer.
This brigade was very small, and as
Hoods investment extended only from
the Oostenaula, below the town, to the
Connesauga above, he left open the ap-
proach from the south, which enabled
Gen. Raum and the cavalry of Gems
McCook and Watkins to reinforce from
Kingston. In fact, Hood, admonished
by his losses at Allatoona, did not at
tempt an assault at all, but limited his
attack to the above threat and to some
skirmishing, giving his attention chiefly
to the destruction of the railroad, which
he accomplished all the way up to Tun-
mel Hill, nearly 90 miles, capturing en-
route the regiment of black troops at
Dalton-Johnson's 44th US.
On the 14th / turned Gen. Howard
through Snake Creek Gap and sent
Gen. Stanley around by Tilton, with
orders to cross the mountain to the west,
so as to capture, if possible, the force
left by the enemy in Snake Creek Gap.
We found this gap very badly obstruct-
ed by fallen timber, but got through
that night, and the next day the main
army was at Villanow.
On the morning of the 10th the lead
ing division of Gen. Howard's column,
commanded by Gen. Charles r. Woods,
carried Ships Gap, taking prisoners part
of the 24th S. c. regiment, which had
been left there to hold us in check.
TO FORCE HOOD TO BATTLE.
The best information there obtained
located Hoods army at Lafayette, near
which place hoped to catch him and
force him to battle; but, by the time we
had got enough troops across the mount
ain at Ships Gap, Hood had escaped
down the valley of the Chatooga, and
all we could do was to follow him as
closely as possible.

Summary of Preceding Chapters.

Marcus Kalimakis. the wealthiest farmer
in Crete returns from his field work to his
house, which is kept by his beautiful daughter
Ida, who sets before him his mid-day meal. AS
they begin to eat, Papa" Demetrios. the
priest aud an intimate friend, arrives with the
terrible news that the Pasha has decided to
present Ida to the Sultan, for the purpose of
advancing his own interest.
Basil Kanaris. young Sphakiot Chief, and
the owner of mill in tho mountains is the
betrothed of Ida. 1t is decided to hurry mes
sengers to him to bring him to her rescue. A
messenger sent out has his horse shot down
before he passes out of their sight. They hurry
