terry B. 4th United States Artillery. 1t was
organized for business in August, 1861.
The origin Of the title Iron Brigade" was
related some years ago In Philadelphia at
a reception of this famous bridage in the
following words by one Of the members:
During the battle of South Mountain
my headquarters were where I could see
every move of the troops taking the gorge
on the pike (national road. With by glass
saw the men fighting against great odds.
when General Hooker came in great haste
for some orders. asked him: What troops
were those fighting on the pike?' His an
swer was: General Gibbons brigade Of
western men, l said: They must be made
of iron' He replied BY the eternal they
are iron. If you had seen them at Second
Bull Run as did, you would know them to
be iron' 1 replied: why. General Hooker.
they fight equal to the best troops in the
world This remark so elated Hooker that
he mounted his horse and dashed away
without his orders. After the battle I saw
Hooker at the Mountain House near where
the brigade fought. He sang out: Now,
general, what do you think of the Iron
Brigadeg Ever since that time gave
them the cognomen of Iron Brigade"

Greatest Race of the Day.
The greatest race of the day was the
struggle in the intermediate Fights, in
which the Vespers of Philadelphia were
the winners and the Potomacs second by

Mrs. Jenkins was married to the bril-
liant Confederate officer, Micah Jen-
kins. in 1856. His four sons survive
her. Her death at this time is rem
dered peculiarly sad by the fact that
she was on her way from west PolHt'
N. Y. where she had spent many
months with her youngest son, captain
J. M. jenkins, U. S. A, to Charleston,
in order to be present on the occasion
of the presentation of a SWORD py INC
president to her oldest son, MAJOR M.
J. jenkins, of the regiment OF Rougn
Riders. Her cultured intellect, her
gentle manners, and beautiful features
will preserve her memory sweet and
fresh in the hearts of the host OF
friends.
The chaingang put in such work as
the weather permitted last week, on
the Robinson hill" at Fishing creek
and although it cannot be said that the
work amounted to more than good
start. enough was done to suggest the
wonderful improvement that Will De
made at this place. People at all famli-
lar with the Robinson hill recognize II
as one of the most desperate OF all the
desperate sections Of road IN the coun-
ty. The hill, especially on the east sloe
of the creek, is long, steep and rough.
It is covered with slaty stone that
does not improve the road bed. Such
work as was done last week develop
ed the fact that this slaty stone IS
present in sufficient quantity to macao
amize the road on the east side or tne
creek. The grade stakes have oeen SET
an both sides of the creek in accord
ance with the surveyors profile. The
bridge is to be IA feet above the water
level in the creek, and when the road
is finished at this point. it is safe to
predict that team will be able to trot
over it with a loaded wagon. On Mon,
day work was resumed on the Simrll
hill, the chaingang having been remov-
ed from there on account OF the rough
weather that had been prevailing.
