WHEN THE TRAIN ARRIVED.

When the train came up the Ohio
100-days regiments guarding it burst into
prolonged cheers when they saw the rag
ged and emaciated veterans, and looked
on with mingled amazement and admi-
ration while they eagerly seized upon
the crackers and raw pork tossed TO
them from the wagons.
Their welcome at their old camps AT
Gauley Bridge from the l00-days regi-
ments camped there in their absence was
both enthusiastic and substantial, and
for one day at least the soldiers of the
Kanawha Division ate their fill without
having to do their own cooking.
The last of the column, with the aid
of the cavalry, got in on the Sd day Of
July, just 60 days from the day of il:
starting.
Thus ended the most remarkable
march OF the war made by infantry. II
is doubtful if it has its parallel in his
tory.
If the reader who is curious to follow
the line of this march will take any
good map of Virginia and West Virginia,
showing the Counties, and, starting al
Kanawha Falls, draw line through
the Counties Of Fayette, Raleigh,

went into camp. On Sd April the brigade
moved via the Southland Station across
Namozine Creek to WILSON'S plantation.
Here the command encamped for the night.
"On 4th April the brigade moved TO
Jetersville, Amelia County, and there took
position, expecting an engagement.
"On the 9Th moved out from camp under
instructions to make reconnaissance of the
enemy's rear and ascertain the positions
of his trains passing Amelia Springs.
moved to gainesville, and there learned that
Gen. Lees wagon-trans were passing point
about four miles from that town.
II Immediately moved down at trot,
sending the 1st Pa. my advance-guard) at
gallop, and then succeeded in striking the
train just as piece of artillery was being
placed in position to repel my advance.
Before the piece could be loaded nv men
charged through q deep swamp, were upon
them, and at once captured the artillery and
the men belonging TO the battery, and seat
tered the train-guards at that point, Of about
400 men, in all directions.
Il sent two regiments-1st Pa. Cav. and
the oath n. Y. Cav.-at once TO the right
along the length of the train, directing them
to capture all animals and prisoners, and
destroy all wagons, as, owing to the condi-
ton of the roads. and the exhausted state of
teams, did not think it practicable to bring
off the wagons.
"The LIST n. J. Cav. kept near the point
where the train was first attacked to act as
a reserve and support, and to reconnoiter to
the left; and to the 10th n. Y. Cav. gave
the charge OF the prisoners, guns, etc, we
captured, with directions 10 return with
them to Jetersville as soon as they were
collected. The commanding officers of the
regiments each executed the orders given
them with fidelity and zeal, aud in short
time was on my way TO Jetersville with
five guns, II flags, 800 white prisoners and
an equal number of colored Transfers and
400 animals, captured from the enemy, leay-
ing behind me 200 blazing ammunition and
acknowledgements, caissons, and ambu-
lances
Shortly after leaving Paineville, on my
return, Gary Is Brigade Of rebel cavalry, acting
as escort to the trains, attacked my rear and
kept running fight with my command as far
as Amelia Springs, where formed my brigade
and held them (the enemy in check until re-
lieved by the Second Brigade of this Divis-
ion. then rode to the head of my column
and found that bolted, and that the enemy

my front, wherec }he road from Amelia
Springs to JetersFAle joins that to Amelia
Courthouse. A regiment of the Third Bri-
gade at that point, with the 1st Pa. Cav,
handsomely repufdd the enemy and drove
him from the crossroads
had the satisfaction of bringing safely
into camp the whole of the captured prop
erty, not losing Single prisoner, animal, or
gun, in spite of the desperate efforts made
by the enemy to retake them. In the after
noon my brigade again went into action to
repel the attempt 4nade by the enemy to
reach Jetersville from Amelia Springs, and,
though much redhced in strength by the
large numbers reThifed to guard the prison
ers and take charge Of the captured prop
erty, successfully resisted every attack made
by the enemy, and made several mounted
charges with great gallantry.

Sheridan's Arrival.

T. B. Watkins, Co. E, 14th Wis, Kidwell,
w. Va, says in his story of Cedar Creek {:
"Gen. Crook was with our regiment when
Sheridan came up. Sheridan asked, What's
the matter?' Gen. Crook said: The Iebs
surprised us this morning, and drove us out
of camp Sheridan said: Give me a half
hour to get ready, and 10 minutes to whip
them. Twill whip them the worst they ever
were whipped in the Valley of Virginia.
within five minutes Sheridan came riding
back and told Gen. Crook to hold his men
where they were, for the rebs were mass
ing themselves against the Nineteenth Corps.

teenth Corps After You see their lines give,

Sheridan went back to the right and
said Go for them, boys They went. And
in about 10 minutes the rebs gave back.
The Eighth Corps came in and charged for
quite distance. We captured several
pieces of artillery and other spoils."
Cedar Creek.
Edward Armstrong, Co. G, 10th Pa, Pitts
burg, Pa, writes 81 was in the Cedar
Creek fight from o'clock a. m. TO the finish.
l could not see 100 yards in front of me,
yet Corpl G. o. Dwyre could see over the
hills and into hollows with the greatest of
ease. Comrade Webster of whom he speaks,
referring to history, is justified in so doing,
for I haven't the least doubt that he was
attending 10 his duty, little knowing VIII at
was going on along the whole line.
1.-The Corporal is wrong when he Gays
Sheridan checked the Coniederates, for they
had been checked long before he came on
the field. AS to captured artillery and
wagons, will ask, How many did the Second
Division, Sixth Corps, save from capture in
the morning by fighting their way back to
Middletown? The 1st Mich. stands second
best in the way of losses in cavalry depart
ment of the army, and if the Corporal will
take the trouble to examine history he will
find the Second Division, Sixth Corps, stands
first as a division in losses.
I" / beg to differ with Comrade Brogan as
to his regiment holding the left of the Sixth
Corps on our way back to Middletown. The
only way I can account for the comrades
error, is that the Second Division fell back
with faces to the enemy and First Division
with back to the enemy. Who can explain
why the Second Division of Sixth Corps did
not 20 back a mile or so and reform, as did
the Eighth and Nineteenth Corps and First
and Third Divisions of Sixth Corps?
Boys, you all know when corps or d.
vision is broken up they fall back toreform,
and you should all know the nucleus you
formed on was the Second Division, Sixth
Corps. Give us our just dues and we ask
for nothing else. do not say We would
have done the same had we been in the
Eighth or Nineteenth Corps places the
blunder OF the officers and men on picket is
theirs"

W. G. Phipps, Co. A, 18th Ind, Chicago,
says: My regiment was encamped some
distance from the Tennessee River, at
Crump's Landing. Our sutler had pitched
his tent on the road, in the woods. between
our camp and the river. One day. with
some of nay comrades, / was standing by the
roadside, near suffers tent, when / noticed
q negro riding one of Headquarters large
mules. As he came near us he rode under
the limbs of tree, which knocked off his
hat. He jumped to get it, and rs he stopped

nothing ON but the halter. he soon got the
advantage of the contraband. What time
he was not lodging the mules heels he was
rolling on the ground and clawing the earth,
to the amusement of we soldiers. Finally,
someone suggested, Grab a root All
yelled Grab a root!' and it was taken up
all the way down the road as he and the
mule passed the camp; some would add,
Here's your mule!'
During the entire war, if some cavalry
man, or anyone, would ride past, either day
or night, q little out of the regular gait,
someone would be sure and yell, Grab a
root! Often the first cannon-shot opening

WHAT is YOUR TRADE?
Each Trade Or Occupation Has Its
Special Disease.

CpCCA<tA OAScASe.
1t is we'll known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily
developed in certain occupations than
in others. That each occupation has
its attendant physical weakness. En-
gineerS, railroad men and similar oc-
equations suffer mostly from kidney
troubles and men who are often ex-
posed to the weather suffer from rheu-
matism, while clerks and professional
men, in fact the army Of people whose
business keeps them indoors, are often
times great sufferers from piles and
constipation. In this connection the
following letter is Of interest to people
whose occupation will not allow suf-
flc1ent outdoor exercise.
Mr.. A. f. Calhoun, notary public
and jeweler and matchmaker, of Circle
Vile, w. Va, writes as follows:
l have been a severe sufferer from
piles for years and had tried many
remedies with but little benefit, when
about three years ago 1 saw the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure advertised and sent for
it.
I was badly afflicted when I got
them, but after only two applications
the piles disappeared and from that
day to this l have never felt a symp-
tom of the disease.
l feel that I cannot recommend them
too highly to sufferers from piles.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is free from
cocaine, opium or any mineral poison
absolutely safe, pleasant and painless;
sold by druggists at 80 cents per pack
age. If there is any constipation the
Pyramid Pills should be used with the
pile cure. The pills are 25 cents per
package.
Any druggist will tell you that the
Pyramid Is the best known and most
successful and popular pile cure ever
placed on the market, and its repu-
tation as a safe and radical cure has
only resulted from the personal recon-
mendation Of people who have been
cured Of this distressing ailment.
