Down in Boston there's an old man with his mind

to get him to go into a stock fotation scheme on
the assertion that District Attorney Jerome Is or

state of senility. and that certain promoters are
trying 70 get his money away from him. In his
letter TO Mr.. Jerome he says:

ably described in the columns Of The Ma
uonai Tribune that | will not at this time
10 more than attempt 20 describe n pa
thctic incident which came under nv
notice Mt the opening of that engagement.
Oct ~, 1864. was a beautiful day. but
the spirit of eXhilaratinn which was usual
with the men when on the advance was
absent. Instead, a feeling of oppression.
of something to come, vague and unde-
fined, pervaded the minds of all. This
falling back and being on the defensive
was not to our liking
On reaching the line selected for de-
| fenSe. we filed to the left aud took posi-
ton near the extreme right. where orders
were gwen to throw up earthworks. which
were but partially completed when the
battle opened. Immediately on our right
was a siX-sHn battery, with Il ravine in
front. on the slope of which stood a small
house about which no sign of life as-
peared.
When the Confederate lines came in
view, and when not yet within rifle range,
the battery let gO' with all six guns. Be-
fore the awful crash had ceased reyerber-
atlnS among the hills Il woman came run
ming from the cabin with Il child little
girl, IN her arms. and screaming in abject
terror. The artiieristS quickly assisted
her over the works, when she ran to the
rear. i'll the direction of Franklin Never
before had we seen woman in battle: the
incident which so impressed us at the mo-
ment was soon forgotten in the roar and
carnage of battle
My brigade was withdrawn from the
line at that place and thrown in on the
double-quick between the troops of Gems.
Opdycke and Sherwood, which position we
held until Hoods army was hurled back
for the last time. beaten. broken and dis
appointed; then we resumed our march
across the river to Nashville.
If the battery was the 9TH Ind, which
had been with us in Il score of battles and
which later lost its brave commander,
Capt Simonson, while in our front. away
down in the heart of Georgia, and there is
a man left who knows ausht of my story,
