Scenes at "Mansfield" During the Battl

Scenes at Mansfield" During the Battle
Of Fredericksburg.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In answer
to inquiries regarding the services and the
death Of Gen. George d. Bayard, would
state that to the best Of my knowledge he
was Lieutenant in the Regular Army, and
was selected by Gov. Curtin, Of Pennsyl-
vania, on recommendation of Gen. Stone
man, to command the 1st Pa. Reserve Cav.
Though young in years, Bayard had won
distinction on the frontier, and came fully
equipped for the position, and within nine
months had won star and become COM
mander Of the First Cavalry Brigade, Army
of the Potomac.
AT the battle of Fredericksburg the brigade
was stationed near the Barnard house,
" Mans6eld"; there Gen. Franklin estab-
lished his headquarters. Many of the Con-
federate shots were fired too high for the
Union lines, and came hurtling through the
grove and the house which was being used as
hospital, killing and wounding number OF
soldiers.
Gen. Bayard and Capt. Gibson were in the
grove, near Gen. Franklin, when solid shot
struck Bayard. He was carried into the
building, and soon expired. The surround
ing ground was soon filled with wounded
soldiers who had been carried from the front.
This was about Dec. 13, 1862. distinct
ly remember the circumstances, as with a
few others from the 18th Pa were de-
tailed by Surg. Liedy to assist at the hospital.
and the sad scenes witnessed will never be
erased from my memory. Near the building
was the band of the Hath Pa, tenderly
attending to the wounded and dying men.
This gallant band was Germantown organ
ization, and will corrobOrate my statement.
They were subsequently, captured and sent to
Libby.
Our detail was sent with large ambulance
train containing hundreds of wounded and
dying soldiers across the RappahannOck to a
place Of safety. What became of Bayard's
body cannot say, but presume it was sent
to his old home. In q recent interview with
Comrades BalIentine and PendletOn, of Ger
mantown, l discovered that both these vet
erans were close to Bayard on that eventful
December day, Ballentine being one OF the
party who carried the dying General to the
hOSpital.-N. X. PLOYD, 10th Pa, Ger

A i1OTHER'S LETTER TO A
MOTHER.
Called Forth by the Tragic Death of
Ensign Worth BagIey.

lone touch of sympathy makes
the whole world kim" And in the
shadow of great national sorrow
the hearts of fond and loving mothers,
and strong men, and sympathetic
friends 90 out to the grief-stricken
mother of Ensign Worth Bagley at
her home in Raleigh as she mourns
her loss and cherishes the memory
and deeds of her noble boy.
From the News and Observer we
take the following extract from a
beautiful letter written to Mrs.
Adelaide Bagley, mother of the la
mented Ensign Bagley, by Mrs. Char
lotte +. Evans, wife of Capt. Rodley
d. Evans, "Fighting Bob Evans, Of
the battleship Iowa:
''We were first drawn to your son
by his rare personal beauty and
charm Of manners six years ago at
the Naval Academy and as matured
and developed his nature and charac-
ter seemed to deepen and sweeten
until he promised a very high and
noble future to us who watched him.
II saw him last at Key West in the
middle of March, about two months
ago, and my husband and l were
much impressed by the splendid
development that had come to him.
He always bore himself in a princely
way and two months ago there was
added to that bearing strength and
sweetness and power of expression
that gave his fine face an almost
seraphic expression. His deep suffer-
ing, which we shared in the loss of
his friend, Cabell Breckinridge, l
think had elevated, fortified his own
spirit. In writing you this am sure
that Captain Evans would agree with
all | say, for he loved and valued
your son as we all did and do, and
always shall do while memory lasts.
when your deep anguish shall
have become part of your life-for
that is all we mothers can expect
when such a blow falls upon us-you
will realize that your boy died as he
would have wished, in the flush and
stir of battle with no lingering or
time for pain.
"He flashed his soul out wi h the guns.
And took his Heaven at once
My own only boy, who loved
yours, sailed for Havana yesterday
afternoon on the Massachusetts, so
you can understand that | know how
to feel for you with very tender
sympathy. l am
