harm done by the fishing. The senti
ment he represented is strongly in ia
vor of ice fishing.
| C. e. Sturtevant and Z. S. Hall OF
| Augusta, representing the cottagers
| about Webber pond and also the SEN
timent of the people there. represented
that in their pond they had expended
quite little money in building bulk
head to prevent the fry from escaping,
and they had with the assistance of
the commissioners, been stocking the
pond for the past three years. None of
the fish have as yet grown to be Of any
size. At the same time the waters
abound with pickerel. which it is
feared are greatly preventing the trout
and salmon from thriving. The pick
erel here cannot be caught in shallow
water as in most ponds, but in the
deep water.
Col f. c. Harrington objected to tho
ice fishing on general principles. He
said ever since his early boyhood he
had been acquainted with pickerel.
and that they have in every instance
proved themselves to be stayers when
they are once in body Of water, that
no catching of them can ever extermin-
ate them. He thought that it would
be unwise to attempt it here, as the re-
suit can not be obtained, and at the
same time irresponsible parties might
catch a great many of the trout that
may take the hooks. The opening Of
the eastern section of the county he
thought would bring in everybody
from all the counties around and it
might work havoc. For his own part
he liked a pickerel as we'll for the table
as the salmon. In many instances the
people do not, he believes, wish to lose
their pickerel.
Commissioner Carleton said this let
ter statement was perfectly true, for
only last spring the citizens Of Weld |
petitioned that the rules and regula- i
tions be established that only five |
pickerel might be taken in any one
day. by one person from Weld pond
The petitioners from the eastern
ponds contended that the fishing
through the ice might diminish the
numbers to a certain extent and every
one caught would be gladly fur
lished to those who desired
10 have them. They would
ike to have the privilege of
;pearing them in the spring as fur
her method Of riddng the pond of
hem.
]. NJ. Cross said it was the wish of
he people of the eastern section of
Augusta and in that region about Vas
;alboro and Riverside, to have the
,onds that have not been stocked open
o pickerel fishing. They believed that
ponds where nothing else existed but
,ickereI would not be harmed by open
ng to ice fishing.
Mr.. Carleton said he saw no reason
Why the ponds Of the east side of the
liver should not be opened for the
omng winter, and then the Legisla-
ure may have the chance to get what
,ver evidence and petitions it needs
or it's action in the future.
The hearing was held in an informal
manner, each man being asked to give
lis ideas and discussions were freely
ndulged in. 1t is one of the ways in
which the commissioners reach the
entiment of the people, and that is
What they decide upon in a case of this
ort. !;

but will wait for the opinion

were between two and three miles from

Smiths troops.
The intrenchments which were in our
front were much stronger than they had
proved to be ON the 9th on the Jerusa-
lem Road, and they were more strongly
manned. An attempt to ride over them
on horseback would have failed, even
without an armed force behind them to

On May 20, after a conference in Wash

cabled directions TO Gen. Brooke to

know that any Union forces were ex-
pected from that direction. Notice was
quietly sent to the men on the side posts
to watch out sharply, and if we on the
road fired, then they were TO open fire
and fall back into the brush, and keep
up their firing until they were forced
back. Then they were to spread out
and try and reach the main body of the
regiment as best they could. Word
was also sent to the Captain that large
force was approaching. By this time
they were so near that there was no
mistaking the approach of a large body
of mounted men. placed my men on
each side of the road; if they were
enemies and charged us, we could retreat
into the brush. Then thought seriously
for moment. If it was the enemy ap-
preaching, the videt who challenged
would be answered with shot, perhaps
avolley. His chances for getting killed
were firstclass. If they were Union
troopers, and one of my men challenged
them, his negro dialect and accent would
almost certainly be mistaken for Con-
federate challenge, and would be an
swered with shot. decided instantly
that it was my duty to challenge them
myself, and take the chances. The
hoofs were near, and the jingling sound
of the sabers, as they ratified against the
stirrups, could be heard.
1 whispered my final instructions to
the Sergeant, and ran noiselessly toward
them for 20 or 30 PAGES. With my
heart in my mouth, 1 challenged loud
and clear, "Who comes there?"
There was checking of the horses,
and l heard the clicking of carbines as
the answer came back, Advance
guard, 1st Conn. Cav. What regiment
is that?"
"Halt, advance-guard. Dismount.
Advance one, and be recognized" l
ordered, not answering the question.
"What regiment is that. Answer,
quick !" came back so sharply that
answered "30th United States" and re-
peated my order for one man to ad-
vance.
"Go up there, Sergeant" said some
one who seemed to be in col .mand,
and find out vino those people are"
The Sergeant advanced. and 1 covered
him with my pistol. When within 10
PAGES / halted him.
"Who are your" l asked.
"1st Conn. Cav" he answered.
"Who are you?"
There was no mistaking the accent
and Yankee style of his answer, and 1
replied:
1--WE are the troops that you rallied
behind at Old Church the other day."
"Then you belong to the Colored
Division, Of the Ninth Corps" he said.
This satisfied me, and I stepped out,
and in a few words he explained the

rected to report to him, and yet / should
have considered it my duty to do any
thing he might require, as | did the
next day, when reported to him and
he sent me off to about the same position
l had taken the day previous, on his left.
My report of the part l took in the
movement 1 was required to make to
Gen. Butler. We did all we were re-
quired to do, and we accomplished all
that was expected of us. 1t was very
fatiguing, and we were very much ex-
posed, and that we did not have very
serious loss was owing to the poor artil-
lery-ire of the enemy. We were with
out sleep for "a hours, marching and
fighting most of the time, and exposed
for hours to an artillery-fre, against
which we could do nothing, and while
it proved less dangerous than it ap-
peared, was by no means without effect,
for We lost about 100 killed,
wounded and missing, including Col.
Mix, commander of the First Brigade.
That we could not have done any
more than we did is confirmed by the
fact that the Second and Ninth Corps
assaulted the same works that had con-
fronted the cavalry, and were repulsed
on the evening of the 18th. While
Wise's Brigade had been reinforced by
Hoke's Division during the night of the
18th, it was not in the same proportion
that the Union forces had been rein
forced by the Second and Ninth Corps
in the same time.
Gen. Meade, in his report of this
failure on his part to capture the works
on the evening of the 10th, closes with
this paragraph:
"Our men are tired, and the attacks
have not been made with the vigor and
force which characterized our fighting
in the Wilderness; if they had been, |
think we should have been more success
ful. | will continue to press" (See
Vol. 81. Rebellion Records, page 117)
The impression that prevailed in the
Army of the Potomac at the time was
not that the men were physically tired,
but morally tired of assaulting intrench-
ments without any success. For nearly
six weeks or more they had been hurled
against breastworks in manner that
seemed inconsiderate Of life, because
unattended with success. The months
of July and August that succeeded these
fruitless attacks were the darkest days
of the war. 1t seemed impossible to
reach the enemy in their works without
reinforcements, and it was very uncer-
tain whether the country would be will
ing to make any more sacrifices of men
and money. The means, however, were
and the reelection of Mr..
Lincoln restored the confidence of the
army and discouraged the Confederacy,
SO that when the campaign was renewed
iii the early Spring Of 1865 the strug-
gle was soon brought to a close, to the
relief of both North and South.
