MOST PICTURESQUE BATTLE SCENE

I think the most picturesque scene that
came under my observation during the
war was the battle of une 2, 1854. The
country was thoroughly open. almost
entirely without any trees, and the Two
armies were located just north OF the
Kenesaw mountain, and had been Tor
weeks strongly fortified, the skirmishers
being constantly engaged.
At daylight we found that Sherman
had doubled his skirmish line and MS
artillery and infantry skirmishers along
his whole line opened warmly upon Us.
When the sun was well up a long line
of solid infantry rose from their breast
works like people coming out OF the
ground. They advanced some 300 yards,
their colors flying. the sun ~glistening
upon their bayonets and brass a~ccOuter-
ments, and, all in all, presenting a most
beautiful spectacle.
Another line then rose from the breast
works and advanced to within some hun
dred yards of the front line. atU
At a signal the federal lines MAYED
forward and our pickets and skirmishers
wer esoon driven in and our entire line.
strongly intrenched, opened a deadly fire
upon the advancing lines. Our infantry
fire had a most terrible effect and our
artillery was continually cutting through,
but Notwithstanding this they steadily
advanced and when within 400 yards
started a yell and charge. Some of the
men reached and We're killed upon oul
breastworkS.
The front line wavered and recoiled
n it became mixed with the second
line, and another charge was attempted.
Again some of the men reached the
breastworks, but it was impossible to
stand the fire, and they We're again
driven back.
Once more, by the heroic conduct of
the officers, a third attempt was a
to advance, but it was soon evident to
them that success was impossible, and
the entire mass, thousands upon thou
sands, withdrew toward the federal
lines. In half an hour a flag of truce
was received n in les han an hour
both sides We're out upon the field gath
ering up the dead and caring for this
wounded.
Gen. Harker, who commanded the as
saulting column, was instantly killed,
and Gen. Dan McCook was mortal4y
wounded, dying a few hours afterward.
Gen. Sherman, in his report, says that
he felt justified in making the assault
because if he had been successful John
ston's army would have been divide'
and compelled to retreat to the right and
left of kenesaw mountain. This would
have enabled him to follow them up and
thoroughly destroy at least one wing of
the army, which would have terminated
the campaign.
Both federal and confederate soldiers
often speak of this as the most pictur-
esque and one of the most heroic strug-
giles of the great conflict.

when the case was brought to the
supreme court the opinion was render
ed that while the railroad was to be
blamed for the death yet the award
for injuries to the heirs was too great,
that IL was out of proportion to the
earning capacities or any probable
expectancy of accommodations of money
on the part of the man killed and
therefore q new trial was ordered.
The father was SO years of age.
THE appellees we're In no manner
dependent upon him." says the opini-
on. "The mere relationship between
them and the deceased cannot be made
the basis of a recovery in this case,
however much they may be grieved
over his untimely death. Therefore,
the pecuniary loss, If any. that result
ed to them b y reason of the death, was
in being deprived of their share of tn e
money that he might have accumulat-
ed during his expectancy of life. Or,
under the evidence. their recovery
must be limited to the sum which the
father, by his personal exertions, less
his necessary personal expenses, and
those of his wife during her life, would
have added to his estate, aud which
would have descended to the sppellees
or his heirs at law
It being the courts opinion tn at 81, 600

loss of limb was once thought to be
equivalent to Q judgment of $4,000 or

few cults are hied now for less sums
