IN THE ARMY ONE HOUR.
Brief War Experience of n Northern
Soldier mt Drury's Blum on
the James River.

Hundreds of British soldiers" said
a veteran of the Eighty-fifth Pennsyl-
vania, who never missed roll call
from April, 1861, to Appomattox,
were wounded at Colenso and Mayors
fontein without seeing the enemy and
without getting fairly INTO battle.
There was fellow in our regiment
who served only an hour, who never
saw a confederate or the rebel lines.
and who was never in a battle, and vet
who was shot and severely wounded by
confederate, and was carried from
the field to the hospital and from there
sent home permanently disabled.
eNow, you know, it was claimed be-
fore the war that the wings of Virginia
knew one another by the instincts of
gentlemen. During our service, which
was mostly in Virginia, we came to
know the confederates by the same
token. 1t never made any difference
how thick the timber and brush was.
we managed to know about where the
confederate line was watching for
we uns.' This could not be said of a
recruit named John Smith, of PerryS.
opohs, Pa, who reached us during the
night OF May 20, 1864, at Drury's Bluff,
on the James river, below Richmond
Va Our base of supplies was at Ber-
mada Hundred, and the sergeant in
charge of the recruits was anxious to
turn his men over and get his receipt
and join his own regiment. AS soon as
he landed he marched his men to the
front and reported to our colonel with
our quota, our regiment being on the
Skirmlsh line at the time.
1T was one of those little affairs
common in the Army of the Potomac
in the campaign of 1864, in which full
regiments were deployed on the
sklrmlsh line, and as compared with
Wilderness, Cold Harbor was called
simply hot skirmish. When the SER
geant found our colonel he turned over
his men and got his receipt, and the
colonel sent the new men down the line
In charge of the adjutant. Smith was
assigned to company B, and Cap
Dial showed him a tree and told him to
run for it and bang away. He reached
the tree, but had not fired a shot and
had not been there one minute when he
was shot through the left thigh by a
sharpshooter, and was carried to the
rear and sent to the hospital at Ber-
muda Hundred. He was not with the
regiment an hour, all told, from the
time he reported until he was carried
OF the field, disabled, and when he got
better he was sent home discharged."-

In the love OF their country they sleep--
