Scenes That Had Their CounterpartS Al
Over the Union.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I was at
tending grammar school at Portland Me.
and we'll remember the fall of Fort Sumter
and the intense excitement in our city.
Flags were flying everywhere, men were
volunteering their services. When the 18th
Me-, formerly the 1st Me, of which many
were Portland troops, lett onr city for the
seat of war, it was proud day. The air
was filed with martial music, everything
was full of life and excitement.
The boys in blue marched to the depot,
where train was waiting TO convey them
to the front. They were escorted by the
local band, and as the train pulled out the
band played The Girl Left Behind Me-
The crowd that followed were so imbued
with patriotism that the air was filled with
cheers as they waved a farewell.
How the papers were watched for news
from those boys, How we worked for them
We filled barrels with eatables that would
tempt the appetite, scattering here and there
note of encouragement; we sewed; made
ready lint for wounds; sent flowers and
fruit to the hospital.
Then came the return of that shattered

been among the last to shout farewell to
the soldier boys, and the same band that
had sent its soul-stirring music after them
as they left home, went to Saco, so as to be
among the first to bid them welcome in the
homecoming.
AS the train drew up at the station the
band again played The Girl | Left Behind

up their eyes, and faces were pressed to the
windows to catch the first glimpse of home
folks.
In Portland all was hustle to honor the
brave ones. AS the train came in, cannon
memories their laundering awakened ?
Men and women crowded forward to catch
first view of the soldiers as they alighted
from the train-only a handful compared
with those who had left for the front. Some
were on stretchers, unable to walk, but yet
happy in the thought that at last home was
reached; others walked with crutch or cane.
These were some Of our Portland boys
who had gone to battle for their country a
few short months before. Others had shed
their blood upon Southern battlefelds and
were resting in unknown graves.
Too much honor cannot be paid these
men who showed their love for home and
country, not only in words, but in actions.
To these grizzled veterans who march with
feeble steps each Memorial Day, the sound
OF fife and drum has different meaning
from that to the younger generation. Al
though the forms are bent, the hearts be-
meath them beat with as much patriotism
as they did when as young men they shoul-
dered the musket and marched 10 their
country's call. Love for the old flag is i'm
bued in them, and will stay with them un-
til the last taps.-ANNIE NJ. KELLER,

Rally here, men; rally here! Form a
line here Go no farther. but rally here !"
We halted, faced about, and formed n
line. Then we advanced and took position
behind a stone wall, which gave rs for the
first time good defense
Cannon were brought up, reinforcements
arrived, and our new position on the crest
OF Cemetery Hill was made strong. Again
our volleys crashed, again our cannon thun-
dered, and though the surges of rebellion
continued to beat against that crest for two
more days our men never wavered.
Firm and confident stood the Army of
the Potomac and the masses of Lees army
broke against it like billows of the ocean on
a rock-b bound coast. Believing in the right
eousness OF their cause, and desiring that
our flag should be the true emblem of the
Union of the States and Of freedom for all
mank ind, they were victorious, aud there
and then the backbone of the Southern Con-
federacy was broken.
The cause of secession had reached its
high water mark, and from that time on the
tide ebbed The safety of the Union was
assured, and it became only a question of
time when, over all the land, and in very
truth, the Star-spangled banner in tri-

when our long confinement in prison and
lack of exercise for weeks and months is
considered. We were hungry, and the
scanty morsel Of cornbread we had brought
from the prison the previous evening did
not go far toward satisfying our sharp
appetites. But it was all we had, and we
ate it and were thankful, although we did
not know where or when we would get our

My regiment served in the Army of Virginia

Va, to Newbern, n. c. There we took a
steamer for Hilton Head, s. c., and helped
TO take Folly Island and Morris Island. We
aided in building the Swamp Angel and
fired 81 shots of Greek fire into Charleston
City.
A few nights before this our boom in
the inlet gave way, and one of our little
boats, loaded with sand sacks for the fort,
went through with the tide and was gone.
Capt. SnOwden told the Lieutenant of Engi-
neers we must find it. He asked my Captain
for volunteers to accompany him.

request, and volunteered to 60 into Charles

our way among the canebrakes, 20 feet high,
until we came into the harbor. near one of
the rebel forts. The Lieutenant put a white
cloth around a piece of canebrake at the edge
of the inlet, and we pushed ont in the harbor.
1t was 11:30 at night. The Lieutenant steered
around their three men-of-war, and near
Forts Moultrie and Pickens. We could
count their men on deck, but they didn't
detect us, so we rowed around until we
came to the inlet again, and took in the
white cloth but we didn't find the boat.
Before the rise of the sun they commenced
shelling the inlet from the mouth to the
harbor trying to find US. Their shells went
to the bottom and didn't hit man. l often

We soon left Morris Island, after years
