on the outskirts of Petersburg, the last
day of the battle there, by Federal

Only one army commander was killed
in battle. That was Albert Sidney john
ston, the soldier, who. at the time of his
death at Shiloh. was the hope of the
South. After leading a successful bay
onet charge in front of the terrible 'Hor-
nets Nest" Gen. Johnston rode toward
another part of the field to order up
fresh troops. Without knowing it he was
then bleeding to death from an artery
severed by a bullet that had struck him
during a moment of excitement and had
not been felt. A stream of blood pouring
over the top of his bootleg attracted the
attention of his aides, who helped him
from the saddle. Death followed before
a surgeon could be summoned.
For fear that tidings of the death of
their general would chill the ardor of
the soldiers who were steadily driving
Grants columns back to the shore of
Tennessee river the body was wrapped
in a mantle and stealthily borne to the
rear The first burial was in a vault in
tht st. Louis cemetery. at New Orleans.
Afterwards the remains were transferred
to the State cemetery at Austin, Tex, to
rest in soil he claimed as his own by
adoption. when die he had once
said, "let handful of Texas earth be
placed upon my breast"

Gen. Armistead. the only Brigadier in
Plcketts column who crossed the stone
wall barrier on Cemetery Ridge was
mortally wounded, and died a prisoner.
In all the history of martial deeds
there is no sublmer nor sadder page
than that which records the fate of Gen.
Richard Garrett companion hero with
Armistead. When Pickett's column was
forming. Garnett lay in an ambulance

to be left behind he wrapped himself I'D

mounted his horse and led his brigade
as far as the Emmittsburg pike. A high
fence INSTRUCTED the column at that
point, and the Federal fire from the
ridge added to the confusion in Pickett's
ranks. Garnett rode along the front
urging his men to press forward He
was then covered with blood, and leaned
over well upon the horses neck. Sud
denly there was a fresh outburst of buJ
lets from the ridge. Steed and rider
went down together, and, the column
moved on. After the repuIse of Pickett
the body of Gen. Garnett lay unrecog-
nlzed between the lines His sword and
field glass were found and subsequently
restored to the family, but the most dill
gent search and inquiry failed to pre-
vent his burial among the unknown dead
of Gettysburg
