HIGGINS CHARGED ALONE.


: On Confederate Testimony He Has Been
Given EIedal OF Honor
The Secretary of War granted a
medal OF honor few days ago to a
FEDERAL soldier on the affidavit Of q
confederate" said Charles l. Evans OF
Texas, candidate for office, who oc-
casionally visits the White House, land
1t is probably the first instance on
record OF this kind. The federal sold
Ter who received the medal was Thorn
as !. Higgins. now Of Hannibal, Mo.
During the war he was the color-bear-
er of the 99th Illinois Regiment, and
was holding that position at the siege
Oh Vicksburg. In an assault on the 22d
OF May, 1853, the Goth Illinois was
ordered to charge and not to look
back. was member OF the I'd Texas
Regiment, and we confronted the
charging 1llinoisians. We repulsed the
Illinois regiment a short distance from
Inc breastwerks and sent it back In
confusion. Higgins. however, was lit
orally obeylng the orders. He never
looked back. He never noticed the re-
treat OF his regiment, but came bound
Ing forward. his colors flying as pref.
lilly as soldier ever saw, When
within forty yards OF our works word
was passed along the line not to shoot
the brave soldier, and all firing ceased.
When Higgins saw his predicament he
started to retreat with his colors. but
We told him to come on or we would
have to shoot him. Several men ran
out and brought him within the breast
works. We kept him several days,
during which time we learned to like
and admire him. He was then par
oled. was one OF the men who wit
messed his heroic deed and made an af-
hdavit to that effect. Several OF my
companions who remembered Higgins
and his charge also made af6davits. On
these the Secretary Of War granted a
medal. Higgins could have been
Vouched for by members Of his own
regiment. but the novelty OF recon-
mendation by his former foes led to
that course"

A Horn With IA History.

9
There Is an old battered tin horn in
the possession of an ancient colored
man at Dalton. Ga. around which are
associated memories of many deeds OF
violence.
In ante-bellum days the horn was tho
property of Colonel Ben" Longbridge
a wealthy planter of Murray county.
II was originally used to summon his
many slaves to work and to meals. and
Its welcome note at sunset was the sig
nal for them to rest from the days la
bors
After the war the horn became sepa-
rated from the Longhridge family, and
from that time until a few months ago
was the period of Its stirring history.
Murray county has for years been a
stronghold Of the "moonshiners."
Time after time the revenue officers
made desperate raids on the Illicit dis
ullers. killing and being killed, vet
never entirely subduing the stubborn
mounta!neers. The mellow note of
the old tin horn would always warn
the whisky rebels Of the approach OF
their enemies, and many good mans
d6Atn mas IL pEeSaSed.
TEe moonShiners would station a
lusty lunged sentinel on some promi-
aent mountain rock. which command
ed view of the valley below, and tine
slightest suspicious symptom In the
lower defles was sufficient to send the
bass echoes of the old horn flying. and
the moonshiners themselves scurryins
to their improvised fortresses, armed
to the teeth and ready to take and rink
rife for what they considered thef,
rights and in the defense of their
hearthstones. To the revenues" it AL
ways bore the dismal information that
from the next crag or bramble thev
might expect a Staying volley from
their hidden foes.
The venerable horn IS special re-
minder OF a notorious gang which ter
rorized the county up to within 8 year
ago. 1t was used to rally the forces Of
this gang and was often the preface to
a bloody conflict between them and the
laws representatives.
| When the gang was finally dtsposed
of the horn passed into the possession
Of old Uncle" Isaac. typical "befo'
de war" colored man and the old man
often brings it out and recounts its in
teresting history.
