The Monument Committee OF the
Thirteenth Vermont Infantry has had
a lively tussle with the Commissioners
of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg
over a simple camp hatchet. The Yer
mont veterans were determined that
hatchet should be held in the right
hand of Captain Stephen Brown,
whose statue surmounts the new mon
ument which is to mark the spot occu-
pied by the Thirteenth Regiment on
the battlefield, and the Cemetery Com
missioners We're so averse to the idea
that H. Walling of the Park Row
building, New York, the builder Of the
monument, has been kept in hot water
for six months. The contention re-
suited in a compromise. The hatchet is
a part of the statue, but it rests on the
ground near the Captains right foot.
Thep resence of the hatchet in any
position naturally suggests inquiry, and
that is just why the Vermonters want
ed it there. Every cemetery guide
will know the story of Captain Brown
and his hatchet, visitors will tell it to
their children and it will become his
tory. At the battle of Gettysburg the
Thirteenth Vermont was part of Gen.
eral Stannard's Vermont command
The Second Vermont brigade had been
left on outpost duty in Virginia until
the third day after the Army of the
Potomac had passed it in pursuit of
Lees troops into Maryland and Penn
sylvania. Then the brigade got orders
to proceed by forced marches to join
the Army of the Potomac. The latter
was also on a forced march, but in six
days me the Vermonters had overtak-
en- the main body. just before the first
days battle Captain Browns command
came up to a well, at which was an
armed guard.
You can't get water here" said the
guard. "'Gainst orders
Damn your ORDERS" said Captain
Brown, and then, with ali the canteans
of the men and with only one man to
help him he thrust the guard aside and
filled the canteens. His arrest fol-
lowed and he was deprived Of his
sword.
The history making battle began with
Captain Brown a prisoner. He begged
for a chance to regain his company,
and was allowed to go. His men were
Ae'4 NeN a. Tie AiOHl, anu ne nad no
weapons. He picked up a camp hatch
ct and ran all the way to the firing
line, rushed into the fray and singing
out rebel officer fifty yards away pen
etrated the rebel ranks, collared the
officer, wrestling from him his sword an l
pistol, after which he dropped his
hatchet, while his men cheared him
amid the storm Of bullets and smoke.
Such in brief was Captain Browns ex-
plot.
