sionally we could see the tall form ol
Gen. Mulligan himself towering absft
the earthworks swinging his sword and
cheering his men. On our side such
brave men as Col. Porter, Gen. Martin
Green, Capt. Mccullough and Lient.
Joe Neil stood erect and never stopped
to get the protection of hemp bale.
One brave major sprang upon hemp
bale and shouted "Over, boys, and at
then!' He fell back at my feet with
blood streaming from his face. When
we were close enough to have thrown
our hats over the enemy's works
white flag suddenly appeared, and we
were glad to see il. The terms OF sur
render were very soon arranged, and
we marched in and took possession Of
the encmy's works. The federal sol
diers, black with smoke and looking
haggard, instantly began asking us for
water. We handed them our canteens
as we passed them drawn up in line
for the purpose of stacking their arms.
The fort present sickening appear
ance. The dead had not been buried,
and their wounded were lying IN the
trenches begging for water. Dead
horses were everywhere, and the
wounded ones appealed TO us with
sigh as we passed them. Never during
the war did soldiers fight with more
fortItude and gallantry on both sides
than on that field of Lexington.
The prisoners were paroled ard
allowed 10 cross the Missouri river.
Gen. Mulligan remained with us several
weeks, rather as guest than pris,
oner of war, for the purpose Of eona-
pletinS the terms of surrender. We
understood that he was to be exchanged
for Gen. Frost, who had surrendered
AT Camp Jackson, near st. Louis, some
months before. Lieut. Dan Lanius
accompanied Gen. Mulligan back 10
the Union lines, acting as exchange
officer. These two brave soldiers
became very much attached to each
other, and, curiously enough, they
were both slain in battle about the
same time-Mulligan in front of Rich
mond and Lanius on the heights of
Helena / hus ended the famous bat
tie of Lexington. To-day many of the
old veterans are gathered there, ming-
ling the blue and gray, looking at the
various localities crimsoned with heroic
blood thirty-six years ago, and
should like TO be there TO grasp the
hands of comrades and of those foemen
whose gallantry was never surpassed
by any troops that We faced during the
~ hole war.

THE BATTLE OF LEXINGTON.
A Confederate Private's Account of the
Capture of the Missouri Town.

From an article by II. A Fasan. in the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Sunday, Sept. 10.
Today is the anniversary of one of
the three days of the battle of Lexing
ton, which will perhaps forever be
regarded as one of the most important
engagements fought m Missouri during
the war. ThIrty-six years ago today
Gen. Mulligan, at the head of about
$500 brave men, was making desper-
ate effort to withstand The furious
assaults of the confederate forces under
Gen. Sterling Price. The battle of
Lexington presents features in military
operations without parallel IN history.
Here the future chronicler of events
will find movements not easily under
stood. The yictors scted as If they had
been vanquished. Gen. Price, at the
head of the greatest confederate army
ever assembled west of the Mississippi
river, no sooner received Gen. Multi
gan's sword than he at once commenced
q hurried retreat toward the famine
stricken districts of Southwest Nilsson ri
and the barren hills of Arkansas. To
soldier it locks as if the victory of
Lexington would have offered to the
commander of a great army just the
opportunity that would have made his
heart leap for joy. Fremont, undecided
as to the plans of his enemy, having
failed to le-enforce Mulligan, was
slowly moving his army out of st.
Louis with his divisions widely separa-
ted. Even the privates in the confed-
crate army expected that they would at
once be led against Fremont. Never
during the whole war was a better OPP
portunity offered for attacking and
| fighting an army in detail. After all,
Mulligan's defeat was union victory.
1t developed the plans of the confeder-
ate generals and gave Fremont time to
mobilize and strengthen that fine army
which, under his successor, struck the
final and fatal blow at Pea Ridge.
Although Gen. Price had a large
army at Lexington, the battle was
really fought between the Union forces
and Gen. Tom Harris brigade of
Northeast Missouri boys, occasionally

| ing hands with group of officers, all
of whom were standing perfectly erect,
though a storm of bullets were IN the
air, and shot and shell were plowing
up the earth, blaze of fire belched
from the windows of a two-story brick
house which we had taken for a los
pital. Other regiments were at that
moment gaining the line, and when we
became so suddenly and surely notified
of the fact that the brick house was
full of federal infantry our men sprang
to their feet and carried the place al
| the muzzle of their arms in a few
moments. 1t proved to be an oniwork
eff the Union tortitication, and one that
Gen. Mulligan seemingly desired to
hold at all cost. The federals brought
several pieces of artillery TO bear on
our position, and under cover of a
shower of grape and canister col
umn of infantry charged us with liked
bayonets and drove us out of the build
| ing. This house is known as the An
derson house. Instantly our line was
reformed, and being led by such brave
officers as Green, Porter, Mccullough
and Lieut.. Joe Neil, we returned to the
charge and once more planted our
colors on the walls of the building,
where they remained during the
ramaindar of tho hattla
About that time it was reported
along the lines that Gen. Price had
said that he would stay there three
days to save the live of one Missourian.
We all loved him as father and
regarded him rs great general, and
though the soldiers were inclined to
think that the place ought to be car
ried by storm, they settled down to
siege work without complaining.
So far the battle had been a bloody
one, and both sides had fought with
desperation. The Missourians of Har-
ris' brigade were receiving their first
baptism of fire, and they had displayed
that valor which afterwards distin-
guished them upon so many crimson
fields. The idea of making another
assault was abandoned, and we at once
commenced the construction of a line
of breastworks on the crest of the bluff
within easy rifle shot of the enemy's
works. Here nearly all the fighting
took place during the next two nights
and days. A line of skirmishers de-
ployed in front of our works, operating
from behind trees and destroying the
enemy as he exposed his head. Dnriag
every moment OF the next forty-eight
hours there was constant firing on this
part of the field. At intervals of every
few hours the enemy tried our metal

Charles Ramsay has been thinking
hard for a long time just how to COM
bine the colors of the H. A. A C. into
fitting flag for tomorrow, and not
until yesterday did he become inspired.
The result of the inspiration is given
with this article. The design was pre-
sented TO D. F. Thrum, manager of the
II. A. A. c. team, who at once accept
ed 1t and ordered it made. The flag
will be white with red border and tri-
angle, containing a star inside as rep
resented in the cut
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
white and red will wave over at least
1000 interested people tomorrow after
noon. The time of beginning of the
sports is 100 p. m.
Up to last night the sum of sos had
been raised toward the amount neces-
sary to purchase prizes. OF this
amount $40 was donated by the Presi-
dent and members of the Cabinet.

By the MioWera the other
day, we received direct from
the factory, a magnificent as
SOrtment Of French China.
Among the lot we have two
new stock patterns, from
which customers may select
either one piece or ten
dozen. In this way Gus
toners may replace any
breakage at the lowest pos
sible cost and without the
necessity of purchasing an
entire new set.
In this same invoice we
have some of the most beau
tifully decorated toilet sets
ever shown in Honolulu.
These are made of fine
crockery and will ornament
any wash stand.
A fad among Honolulu
people is decorating china.
At the exhibition by the pu-
pills of Miss French at Oahu
College a short time ago, some
neutrality-suspicious., the work
of her pupils, were shown and
will stand comparison with
the work of professional art
lists abroad. Our stock which
was opened a day or two
ago contains all sorts of
pieces and in many sizes.
They are made especially for
decorating and are ineXpen-
