HAYES WAR STORY.
A Thrilling Incident of Night At


A Thrilling Incident of a Night At
tack
The following incident of the great
Civil war was related by the late Presi-
dent R. B. Hayes while en- route from
Chicago to Indianapolis in the fall Of
1870:
II have frequently been asked" said
General Hayes, ito tell the most thrill
ing 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 Lynch
burg Va, but General Lee rapidly sent
a heavy force to drive us back, and 1t
was thought best to fall back to the
Kanawha Valley, where food and
clothing could be had, and then go by
the railroad to Winchester again.
General Jubal Early's army was
pressing our forces at every point, and
was ordered by General George
Crook, who commando the division, to
check the enemy until our wagon
trains and artillery could get out or
the way A gap was chosen in the
mountains, two or three regiments were
ordered to build a barrcade across the
road in the gap, one regiment was sent
UP the mountain on the right and an
other on the left of the gap to protect
the TANKS; these regiments selected
were accurate in firing as rnemen
could be-
at was dark by the time all these
preparations could be made; General
Crook was careful to give his instruc-
ton that the point must be held until
the artillery and long wagon trains
We're beyond the reach of Early. Dark
ness, stiffness and the mountains en-
veloped us. Finally an order come to
march to follow the army. General
Russell Hastings, my aid, was sent UP
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 Major William
Mckinley (the president), was ordered
to so up the mountain on the other side
and direct the regiment to come down
carefully and take the road in the rear

of the breastworks. The duty was SO
perilous and of such great Importance
that the instructions We're repeatedly
given with the greatest care not to come
down the mountain in front of the
barricade, as in the darkness our men
would fire into them. Colonel Devol,
who commanded the men behind the
breastworks, fully understood the stu
alton. 1t seemed hours while we were
waiting for the two regiments to come
down the mountain.
II was walking from my horse to the
line of men lying down with guns rest
ing across the pike. All at once the
clear ringing command of Colonel
Devol was heard. Ready! Aim' A
thousands thoughts rushed upon me-!
Our men were coming down the noun
tain, and in the darkness were march
ing in front of the barricade. / tried
to cry out to Colonel Devol: "They are
our men-don't fire!' l rushed toward
him and the line, ready to grab him
and the men who We're ready to fire.
My sould was on fire. I was too chok-
ed to cry out: "Our men! Our men!
Don't fire! Don't fret but I 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. l jumped over the
barricade, shouting to our men, loading
their guns: "Those are our men; don't
fret But Colonel Devol and his men
tried to seize me, saying: "They are
rebels, Colonel: do not go over the
breastworks. 1 hurled them off, and
seized the first wounded or dead man,
yelling: To what regiment do you be-
long? No answer. I grabbed another
by the neck, turned him over and
shouted: What regiment?' The road
was full of them, and the man was
wounded, but family answered, '-th
Virginia; Early's army!' Our men
had come down the mountain under
the guidance of Hastings and McKin-
ley, and gone on after the army.
'Early's army had left us and gone
toward Staunton, but the stragglers of
his army had taken the wrong road
and followed us. Some Of them were
killed and wounded, but 7 learned af-
terward that it was a severe lesson,
their men not keeping up with the COL
umn; it was valuable to us, in show
ing the danger of moving soldiers at
night. From The Chicago Tribune.
