THE END.
An Artilleryman,s Ernyery.

"During the civil war; said Major
Thomas McWilliams, a gray haired vet
eran of the Confederate army, Il saw an
act of bravery of one Of the Union SOL
diers that I will remember as long as /
live. 1t occurred ct Leesburg, where
the regiment belonged to was then sta
toned. On the 2lst Of October, 1861, O
brigade Of General McClellan's troops,
numbering nearly 1000, was thrown
across the Potomac at this point. With
out proper support or chance to make
their escape, they were attacked by our
troops and driven to the river. Colonel
Baker, their leader, was killed, with fully
800 Of his men.
"In that retreat the act Of bravery,
which showed a love of the stars and
stripes that can never forget, occurred.
The bank was steep and covered with
underbrush, which made it difficult for
the artillery to save their guns. We
were in full pursuit and firing rapidly.
One Of their cannon became entangled
In some gnarled roots, and the gunner,
seeing no means of escape except by
abandoning his piece, faced squarely
about, and laying one hand on his gun,
caught the regimental flag from the en-
sign who was fleeing past, flung it
abroad and stood facing our advancing
column. The cry of Don't fire. ran
along our lines, but too late, the fatal
bullet had already sped, and the gallant
soldier fell dead beside his cannon. ."-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
