HAYES WAR STORY.
The Most Thrilling War Experience
of the Late President Was
at BynchburE, Va.

The following incident of the great
civil war was related by the late Presi-
dent II. b. Hayes, while en- route from
Chicago to indianapolis in the fall OF
1870:
"I have frequently been asked" said
Gen. Hayes "to tell the most thrilling
experience that occurred to me during
the four years in the volunteer army.
1t was in 1864 that the army of West
Virginia tried to capture Lynchburg,
Va, but Gen. Lee rapidly sent heavy
force to drive us back, and it was
thought best to fall back to the Kama
wha valley, where food and clothing
could be had, and then go by the rail-
ways to Winchester again.
Gen. Jubal Early's army was press
ing our forces at every point, and was
ordered by Gen. George Crook, who
commanded the division, to check the
enemy until our wagon trains and ar
tillery could get out of the way. A gap
was chosen in the mountains, two or
three regiments were ordered to build
a barricade across the road in the gap,
one regiment was sent to the noun

left of the gap to protect the flanks;
these regiments selected were accurate
In firing as riflemen could be.
"It was dark by the time all these
preparations were made; Gen. Crook
was careful ts give his instruction that
the point must be held until the ar
tillery and long wagon trains were be-
yond the reach of Early. Darkness,
stiffness and the mountains enveloped
us. Finally an order came to march, to
follow the army. Gen. Russel Hastings,
my aid, was sent up to the mountain on
one side to direct the regiment to come
down and take the pike in the rear of
the brigade and march rapidly after
the artillery.
another of my staff, Maj. William
Mckinley (the president), was ordered
to go up the mountain on the other
side and direct the regiment 10 come
down carefully andtake the road in the
rear of the breastworks. The duty was
so perilous and of such great impor-
tance that the instructions were re-
peatedly given with greatest care not
to come down the mountain in front of
dne DuTTlCHue, Us III lHe udIhuGSS our
Jmen would fire into them. Col. Devol,
who commanded the men behind the
2breastworks, fully understood the sit
'uation. 1t seemed hours while we were
waiting for the two regiments to
lcome down the mountain.
81 was walking from my horse to the
Zine of men lying down with guns rest
ing across the pike. All at once the
clear, ringing command of Col. Devol
was heard: Ready! Aim!' A thou
sand thoughts rushed upon me! Our
men were coming down the mountain
and in the darkness were marching in
front of the barricade. l tried to cry
out to Col. Devol: They are our men
don't fret rushed toward him and
the line, ready to grab him and the
men who were ready to fire. My ysoulwas
.,on fire. / was too choked to cry out:
Our men! Our men! Don't fire! Don't
fire!' but l was too late. Devol gave
the order 'Fire!' and one vast volley of
, guns roared out in the darkness.
= Groans and cries and curses followed.

used to "orate" before them. The new
colonel stepped two PAGES toward them,
and said in a clear, calm voice:
Men, go to your quarters"
If an eight-inch shell had exploded
in their ranks, the "boys" would not
have been more surprised; but they
went to their quarters. There was that
in the new colonel's voice which ex-
pressed command. The tone was not
loud, but it was given with clear-cut
infection which showed him master
of men.
That evening at dress parade, as he
stepped to the center of the regiment,
wearing no uniform save pair of gray
trousers with stripe running down the
outside seams, and an old sword, the
men jested in low voices about their
new commander.
Col Goode, the late colonel, not infre
quently used the daily parade as an
occasion to make a speech, and the men
expected one from Grant. The line Off
GERS advanced, and the adjutant sa
| luted.
ga soldiers first duty is to learn to
obey his commander. L shall expect
my orders to be obeyed as exactly and,
as instantly as if we were on the field
of battle"
That was all he said. AS the men
marched back to quarters, a private
asked: "What do they mean by sending
down a little man like him to command
this regiment? He can't pound dry
sand in a straight hole"
HE can't make speech! Look at
the clothes he wears! Who is he, any
how?"
Boys" retorted sergeant, "I'll tell
you who he is. He's the colonel of this
regiment, as you'll find, and don't you
forget it!"
The sergeant was prophet. The reg
iment had obtained, all the liquor it
wished for. Grant stopped that. A
man resisted arrest.
whats the matter?" asked Grant of
the officer of the day.
''The man persists in bringing liquor
into camp and refuses to give it up"
"Put him in the guardhouse."
HE refuses to CO."
Grant stepped up to him, seized him
by the collar, and jerked him outside
of the camp gate. Get out of my regi-
ment," he said. "You are not worth dis.
ciplining. If you come back I'll have
you shot!"
A big, dangerous man, named "Mex.
ico," was tied up, with score of others
for leaving camp without permission
"For every minute stand here I'll have
colonel.
Gag him!" replied Grant.
One by one, as the hours passed, the
other offenders were released by the
officers of the guard. Grant released
"Mexico" himself. The bully saw tha
his colonel was his master, and tn,

ter to DR.. Hartman he says:

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
SALEM, May 9, 1898.
The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, ,O.i
Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family
for colds, and it proved to be an excel
lent remedy. l have not had occasion
to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly,
w. NJ. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason
for this is, most other ailments begin
with a cold. Using Pe-runa to prompt
ly cure colds, he protects his family
against other ailments. This is exactly
what every other family in the United
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, la
grippe, and other climatic affections of
winter, and there will be no other all
ments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with copy
of DR.. Hartman's free book, entitled
winter Catarrh." Address DR.. Hart
