FOUND AMONG The PRlVATES.
BY j. L. STRAIN.

Iclosel the last chapter of these
"reminiscences just as our command
bivouaced on the ground upon which
we camped. afterwards and called it
Camp Walsh, after the Senior Captain
of our command. But l did not
finish" all 1 had to say about the
chicken scrape.
Jimmie Heron was not with the
c,mpapy when we were mustered
into service at Camp Hampton on
the 18th of December by Col. John
s. Preston. He, with several others,
Joined us on the coast.
On the night we got the chickens
Jimmie was along He was full
blooded jolly Irishman, and wore a
COON skin cap made so that the tail
hung down the back of his neck.
This novel headgear made it very
easy job to distinguish him from any
other man in the command, leaving
out the fact that his Hibernian brogue
would prove equally as potent
factor in his Identification as the coon
skiu cap could have done. But,
anyway, nothing more was said or
done with the chicken scrape until
one evening after we came off dress
parade, when Col. r. F. Stevens.
with his escort, rode. up to our camp
and. asked the. several captains; to
bring out the men who had not vet
been mustered into the service. The
men were brought up and aligned,
hut Jimmie was not there. Then
CAPTAIN McKissick.. in hislstentorian
voice. called out, "James G. Heron
and Jimmie; at the other end of the
STREET, answered. The captain told
him he was wanted there and to come
quick. Jimmie came up the street
walking with both hands behind him
and looking as if he was very much
embarrassed by the presence Of the
Colonel and his aids. When be got
near enough Col: Stevens said TO
him: $50 your name is James e..
Heron?" Jimmie answered affirm
atively and the Colonel told him to
take bis. place in line. Jimmie did
co., and the Colonel proceeded to en-
list them" and perform such other
duties as devolved upon him in that
connection. When he, the Colonel,
got through and told them they could

slapped Captain McKissick on the

LIT. Rogers was killed in railroad
wreck shortly after the war.
Gen. Garys remains are deposited
at Cokesbury, S. c., and l am told
nothing marks his last resting place,
save mound of earth, covered with
luXuriant growth of noxious weeds
and briers. He deserves better than
this. The State should erect a suit
able monument to his memory. 1t
is astonishing t. me that his family
has not done it, am told he possess
ed some valuable property. In the
near future | may w,ite more of this
worthy man. In this engagement
one of the Hampton Legion was
killed, while disuounting, distance
supposed to be three quarters Of a
mile, this showed the efficiency of the
enemies arms in contrast to ours.

HOW BRIANT FOWLER
FOOLED THE DOCTORS.
The Hairbreadth Escape OF Ser
4eant Mccormick, of the
Johnson Rifles.
BY W. III. s. HARRIS.

During the late war Briant Fowler
played good joke on the doctors.
Briant, like some others, bad man.
aged to play off and keep out of the
army till 1881 think it was, when
the lame, the sick and the halt would
have to report at Columbia to go be-
fore the medical board to be examined
and either sent to the front or given
another thirty days moro at home.
Briant had way of throwing his
legs back and feigning deformity and
really he would look like he could
not march or get about at all and he
had been examined and played off
on his crooked legs and handy
sharks for about twelve months, fin
ally our government got hard up for
men and they were sending most all
men to the front, and Briant saw
that he could play off no longer, so
he went to Columbia to be examined
and carried his KNAPP sack and pre-
pared himself for the front and when
they called him up before the board
to be examined, the doctor said to
him: "Sir, what is the matter with
you?' Briant said: nothing, am
tho best man on the hill," and he
jumped up and knocked his feet to-
gether three times and said: Fl have
fooled you doctors as long as 1 want
to, send me to the front | want to
kill some Yankees" and to the front
he went and made good soldier till
the surrender at Appomattox.
Just after the first battle of MAJ
nassas the Confederates had pushed
the Yankee army back in and around
Washington and the 5th Regiment
was sent out to Muson's Hill (Which
was seven miles from Washington J
On picket duty our lines and the
Yankee lines were close together ard
sharp shooting was kept up most of
the time. w. R. Mccormick, of
the Johnson Rifles, was sergeant of
the guard one night and while pass.
ing along the line from post to post
in the dark he got off his course and
got between the two lines and came
up in front of Nimrod Sharp and
John Il. Davis, two Of his own com
pany, and they both fred at him at
close range, but fortunately they
missed him and then the firing was
thick all along the lines on both
sides and Sergeant Mccormick was
between the lines and didn't know
which way to 60 so he had to lay
between the two opposing lines all
night. Late in the night our lines
were Withdrawn and we marched back
to Centreville, some ten or twelve
miles. When day broke the Yankee
saw Mccormick and fired on him,
but he fell back and fired on them
and retreated in good order and
fought the whole Yankee line and
succeeded in making his escape and
made his way back to Centreville.
His comrades thought he was killed
and that they would never see him
again, and when he came marching
up the company was called out to
greet him and Welcome him back
