breckenridge was lost again. being un-
able to decide which road to take. After
some pondering, we irresolutely started up
a dark rayine and again became bewil-
dercd. Then we countelmarched mile
and halted on the summit of a bleak
mountain, and there in the brush we
awaited the coming day. The wood was
too wet to burn, everybody was drowsy,
but 1t was too wet and cold for sleep.
Gen. Breckinridge sat on a small stump,
dreary, fOrlorn look i'll his eyes, and
he was just a little bit mad.
1t occurred to me that there was an i'm
mcnsity Of contrast between that perch on
the rustic stump and the chair he had oc-
cupled when presiding over the United
States Senate. The officers and men sat
around on stumps, logs and stones, nod
ding and viciously swearing.
When day dawned we descended the
mountain to Rye Valley, ard after march
ing up the valley nearly the whole day.
we turned TO the left and went across the
country to Mount Airy, on the WytheviIle
ana Marion Road, having gone around our
former position and that of the enemy at
Marion: Scarcely halting, we moved on
to Marion, where we found no FederaIs-
all gone, of course
ten. Duke, with a detachment of Dicked
men from his own little brigade and n
squadron Of the best mounted men of the
4th Ky, was hurTedly sent in advance on
the Saltville Road, the remainder of the
troops following, hungry cold, sleepy. wet,
muddy, and-mad
Arriving at the Preston mansion. we.
found Gen. Duke and Col Morgan, wait
ing for Gen. Breckinridge While Mt the
Preston place on that dark, cheerless
night, Dec. 20, we saw the light
from burning Saltville. Moving on
to the Saltworks early the next
morning, we encountered no enemy
gone again. 1t would seem that Gen.
Stoneman had been in hurry to get away
from the place, as he had done compara-
lively little serious damage or the 1000
kettles the Federals had broken only
about 1000 and burned number of the
sheds. The wells were not injured nj ali
and there was sufficient salt remaining TO
supply every demand until the termination
OF the war. The lead mines, heretofore
mentioned, never of much importance.
were not seriously damaged. The most
serious blow inflicted by Stoneman, on his
grand rounds" was the destruction of
cOmmissarv. "nartnrmaster and ordnance
stores at Bristol and Abingdon, before his
march to Wytheyille and Marion. In fact.
the loss of the ordnance stores in all prob-
ability seriously embarrassed Gen. RrecE-
ln|dges movements. At Marion our am
munitiOn was running low, and if was
impossible for us to obtain an additional
supply so long as Stoneman remained he
tween us and our communications at
Wytheyille.
Stoneman and Gillcm fell back into
Tennessee, while Burbridge, closely fol-
lowed by our troops, retired into Ken
lucky by way OF Pound Gap-a long, des-
olate march. Many of his men had froznn
ears and noses when they reached The
bluegrass region.

The Battle of Piedmont.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I wish to
add my testimony to the truth of the state
ment of Comrade Brooks in the issue of
May 30, regarding the death of Gen. w.
Il. Jones. My recollection is that we
came out of the timber and charged up
through a clover field and over the rail
breastworks. My company Cd, 10Th Va)
lost four men killed and four wounded in
that charge.
Gen. Jones was lying inside the breast
works, with a bullet hole square in the
forehead. He was a cassmate of Gen.
Hunter at West Point, and Hunter pinned
paper on his breast, with, think, these
words: This is Gen. Jones. Give him
a decent burial.-D. Hunter, Major-G Gen-
eral Commanding"
l was on the detail to bury the dead.
There the next morning we buried Serg't
Alex. X. Gilmore, Corpl Joseph Halstead,
and Privates Robert Anderson and G. w.
Hamilton. Serg't Dan Maxwell and
Corp'ls John Murray, ]. w. Coe and
Emanuel Adams were wounded; all of Co.
ID, 18th Va. Col. w. B. Curtis jumped
the breastworks on his horse, which was
shot through the ear. Col Imboden
(brother of Gen. ImbOden) took off his
brace of pistols and handed them to Jim
Ray, of our company, and requested him
to present them to the officer who jumped
the breastworks, and Mrs. Curtis still has
possession of the pistols.
The National tribune., 1901-06-06

Stoneman had appeared to be fighting on
the defensive, as we thought, merely en-
deayoring ''to hold his own" We were
between him and Saltville, and he was a
long way from his base, in an unfavOrable
position for retreat. We had learned, it
is true that Col. Buckley, returning from
the lead mines, which, by the way, he
had failed to destroy, was passing along
the Rye Valley Road, on our right. Buck
ley's force was of inconsequential strength
and gave us little concern. Apparently,
we were making the "Quid Obscurum"
movement of this already inexplicable
campaign.
wIDE-OPEN DOOR TO SALTyILLE.
In the light of subsequent events it ap-
pearcd that by this last movement Gen.
breckenridge simply out generated him
self. He threw the door wide open, per-
mitting Gen. Stoneman to march unOp-
posed to Saltville. Successfully battling
with the invading Federals at Marion was
made nugatory by our withdrawal from
their front. We had demonstrated the
fact that we could easily stay there, and
the boys" murmured at being ordered to
play what somewhat reSembed the role
of the vanquiShed.
From Marion we followed n road to the
left, leading over into Rye Valley. Really
it was no road-Simply roaring noun
tain stream, the water coming down after
the manner of the cataract of LodOre. a
tortuOus march, emphasized by much pro
family, brought US to the source of the
stream at the top of the mountain range,
and there the head of the column was in
quandary-lost. Finally, moving on, we
came to the forks of the road, and Gen.

in the orchard" been at all effective. So
who We're in the bridge.
The general battle did not begin very
early in the morning, but continued the
greater part of the day in nearly even
scale, the fighting beng obstinate.
Before the main combat began, Gen.
StOneman leisurely, perhaps hesitatiugly,
making disposition of his troops, we could
see probably 1000 horses on the hills in
front of our center, but the riders were
invisible. Between the two lines lay a
deep ravine. Stoneman's first move was
an attempt to turn our left, but his as
Saulting troops were stopped by the Ken
tuckian's Entields before they could cross

Lost ON the Prnirin-E,

Cooper, the celebrated American novelist,
describes in one of his tales of frontier
life the experience and trials of a wan
derer, who strayed away from his COM
paniOns and was lost in a vast prairie;
how he wandered about, and at last lay
down to die.
This episode brings to mind the condi-

miserable, try one thing and another in
their search for health, and failing to find
it, sink down in despair, into an early

TWO FLOGGINGS.
A Victim Who VIII Never Again Get
Into the MesheS Of the Law.

Last Saturday was white mans day"
at the Delaware whipping post and pill
lory, ut Dover. The two victims were
William Decker, convicted for stealing
horse. carriage. set of harness, whip. lap
ro e and an ovrrcoat. The other victim
was George w. Fowler. convicted of
forging note for 500 against his wifes
sister. Mrs. Nettie Bennett, formerly Of
Delaware, but now OF New Jersey.
Drcker's sentence was 20 lashes and one
hour in the pillory, but owing to his
weak condition, occasioned by heart
trouble. the Board OF Pardons RENTED
the pillory. rs it was thought that part
of the sentence would he more detrimen-
tai to his health than the laShcs. as the
Sheriff could use his discretion in admin
iStering the laShes. Notwithstanding the
lushes being lighter than were ever nd.
ministercd at whipping post before,
Decker shook like leaf and trcmbled as
though he had Il hard ague. When the
last blow had descended on his back and
he was released from the post, he gave
n heavy sigh. AS he started back to the
Jail he staggered, and would have fallen
al he not been supported by the warden,
who grabbed him and led him to the Jail
door and thence to his cell, where he had
some OF his fellow prisoners to rub his
back with some soothing ointment to
allay the momentdry pain After he had
pccn led to his cell he expressed himself
to Warden Ward as being greatly re-
licved that it was all over. and remarked
that he had been taught lesson he
would not forget soon. and when released
from his Imprisonment he never intended
to get entangled again with Delaware
laws. He thanked Sheriff Brady and
Warden Ward for their kind treatment
and mercy shown him during his impris-
onment and punishment inflicted.
The second victim to undergo punish
mcnt was George Fowler, convicted in
connection with his wife. Worthie Fow-
Ter, of forging II check for 500 on Mrs.
Fowler's sister. Mrs. Nettie Bennett.
The sentence OF Fowler was one years
Imprisonment. $500 fine and one hour in
the pillory. That OF his wife was the
same, except the pillory. which cannot be
given IL woman. Fowler was brought
from the prison after the whipping of
Decker and placed in the pillory, where
ne remained for one hour. He did not
seem to mind the inflction in the least,
and the only complaint made when re-
leased was that his neck was somewhat
stiff from having been in the one posi-
ton so long.

MASON AND DIXON LINE.
Wcrk Of Re-Establishing Famous Ina
ginary Line Nearly Complete Divides
Maryland From Pennsylvania.

While the Spanish So. ..lI some
other events of recent years have tended
to obliterate the imaginary line of de-
markatiou between North and South, and
to consolidate the United States into one
nation, II restoration of the actual Mason
and DiXons line is in progress. The
work is in charge of a joint commission
appointed by the States of Maryland and
Pennsylvania and the commission have
the valuable aid of the United States
coast and gcodetic survey. The appro-
priation made by the two States to pay
for the work, with the aid given by the
federal government, are said to be ample.
Reports that the commissioners have
been able to gather up many Of the
boundary stones and to restore those
which have been broken. They have been
reset in solid cement bases. Many Of
them are in good condition. When one
has been lost totally an iron post is sub
stituted as a marker. The boundary
stones are a mile apart. They have M"
on the Maryland side and up" on the
Pennsylvania side. The five-mile stones
are larger than the others and have the
coat-of-arms OF the Calverts and the
Penns.
Many of the original stones have been
lost. 1t is Said in history of Maryland
that Il number OF the boundary stones
which had been carved in England were
abandoned. and had been used by far
