ena surprise party the 4th Of July,
1SC:,. You see. we Lad lain idle all
summer in Arkansas while Grant clos
ed the coil around our people in Vicks-
burg. One day our leader telegraphed
army headquarters: 4 can take Helena.
Please let HE attack The answer
was. Go ahead Now, if we took Hell
off his hunt at Vicksburg and turn it
on us; for once in Helena, we could
break Yankee navigation on this river
and Starve the enemy out at EicksEurS.
1t WAS rich prospect for we outnunl-
bered the Helena garrison two to one.
''rhc Yankee gunboat Tyler guarded
the river front. and an unbrOken chain
on the land side. The enemy had 1900
men in Helena and plenty Of guns. Our
columns were divided into three storm
ing parties to rush the batteries and in
trenchmcntS in our path. There were
six roads into the town, and the defend
ers We're forced to watch them all. Our
brigade opened the ball. and soon after
daylight we had carried four lines Of
trenches. But there was no attack at
any other point as yet The day was
frightfully hot and attention to busi-
ness made it hotter.
The guns on Graveyard hill poured
shots into us for Il time; then that hill
was captured. and We took the fifth
line of trenches and dashed for Fort
Curtis, on our front. Then the gun
boat Tyler opened. uniting its fire with
that of the fort and our brigade was
about destroyed. The way of retreat
was swept by this combined fire, and
l made my way to the left. where Mar
madukc'S cavalry was coming in on
the flank. | fell in with Shelby's bri-
gadc. which was moving to attack Yam
kee Battery 4. As usual. Shelby went
in with Il rush. followed by Collins
flying battery. Fort Curtis and the
Tyler as well as Il masked field bat
terry. received the troopers in fine shape,
and finally the Yankee infantry made
q countercllargc.
shelby was wounded. and the slaugh-
ter around Collins guns was awful.
His horses were all shot down, and
Shelby called for volunteers to get the
guns out through that withering fire.
Hundreds of troopers rallied at the
cry The battery is lost" Shelby said:
Fifty! Only SO. Bring the battery
along, or fall with it, Collins and his
leutenants were still fighting bravely
but hOpelesSly. The dead horses were
cut away, ropes were attached to the
guns, and the men dragged them
through that fire back to the lines
Only Is Of that 80 volunteers got out
unhurt, and 20 staid where they fell
We were repulsed at all points and felt
like the poor fellows who toy with
things they don't know are loaded
Helena was loaded to the muzzle for
us, and that wasn't the worst OF it,
Grants men were already in Nicks-
burg. SO had we taken the place we
couldn't have held it. Our valor was
wasted. and all we had to show was q
laundering big list Of Fourth of July
casualties. Any old Fourth seems cool
to me now when think of that day at

sieged by vastly superior numbers.
Fortunately, a fierce storm Of thunder
and lightning ragged for hours and pre-
vented the French from attacking. At
nightfall Washington capitulated and
marched forth with the honOrs Of war,
Just 81 years after the contretemps
in the wilderness the 18th of July dawn
ed under brighter auspices for Virgin
las favorite son. That day. 1115, Cen
eral George Washington issued his first
order to the colonial army at Cam
bridge. There was no union then and
little cohesion among the colonies, and
he anticipated the great event Of July
4, 117G, by asking that in the army 'all
distinction of colonies be laid aside"
Two years later, in his camp at Norris
town, he inIugurated the celebration
by the army of the anniversary Of the
Declaration of Independence.
There is 4 gap in the chronology Of
important events in our annals which
occurred July i, extending from 1776
to 1901. Nathaniel Hawthorne was
born at Salem, Mass, July 4, 1904.
Three great Observation-Disclosures Ad-
ans and Monroe-and the most bril-
liant orator Of the era when the results
Of the war were harvested by wise
Counscls, Fisher Ames Of Massachu-
setts. passed away on anniversaries OF
the nations birth.
jefferson and Adams, two OF the
founders of liberty in the new world,
died the same day, July 4, 1896. These
two patriots. jefferson Of Virginia and
Adams of Massachusetts,. had been the
most conspicuous in the throng Of de-
termined men on July 4. 1916. when
the burning words of Patrick Henry,
Liberty or death" became the watch
word of the colonists in congress as
sembled. Ames died July 4. 1903.
James Monroe. founder Of the doc
trine that foreign Interference with
American republics will not he tolerat-
ed, died July 4, 1881.
There was a scurrying among dele
gates to be in t.leir places early on July
4, 177G. when the vote was taken on
the Declaration. Caesar Rodney rode
so miles in saddle to place Delaware
on record. The Journal Of the proceed
fngs Of congress contains the following
simple announcement Of the history
making event:
"Agreeably to the order Of the day,
the congress resolved itself into a com.
mittee of the whole to take into their
further consideration the Declaration
and after some time the president re.
sumed the chair. and Mr.. Harrison re.
ported that the committee have agreed
to a declaration which they desired to
have him report The Declaration. be
ing read, was agreed to-"
The result Of the vote was announced
| 10 the assembly at 2 clock in the aft
| ernoon.
