General Lees Socks.

emily V. Mason, in the Attantic)
The discipline of General Lees socks
was an institution" peculiar to our hos
pital. Mrs. Lee, it is we'll known, spent
most of her time in making gloves and
socks for the soldiers. And she gave
me, at one time, several pairs OF Gen
eral Lees old socks so darned that we
saw they had been well worn by our hero.
We kept these socks to apply to the
feet Of those la&gard ''old soldiers" who
were suspected of preferring the lux
,lry" of hospital life to the activity of
the field. And such was the effect of
the application Of these warlike socks
that even a threat of 1t had the result of
sending a man to his regiment who had
fingered months in inactivity. 1t came
to be standing joke in the hospital. In
finitely enjoyed by the men. If poor
wretch was out of his bed over week
he would be threatened with General
Lees socks, and through this means
some most obsttaate cases were cured.
Four of the most determined rheumatic
patients, who had resisted scarifying Of
the limbs, and, what was worse, the
smallest and thinnest of diets, were sent
to their regiments and did good service
afterward. With these men the SOCKS
had to be left on several hours, amidst
shouts of laughter from the assistants,
showing that, though men may with
stand pain and starvation, they succumb
directly to ridicule.

HILLS DIVISION APPEARS.
But at this opportune moment Branchs
brigade. of A. p Hills Division, which
Jackson had by orders, been urging for
ward during the day, came up in gallant
style and moved in on the right Of the
Stonewall Brigade, extending its line to
the road, and. boldly pushing forward,
struck the flank of the victorious Federal
column and hurled it in confusion to the
rear. The left of the Stonewall Brigade at
the same time wheeled INTO action. and
Crawfords men, yielding to the force Of
Superior numbers, fed, under a destruc-
tive fire. across the wheatfield to find
refuge in the forest, whence he had adj
vanced, and behind his reserves, which
he too late, had ordered into action. The
brave Gordon moved promptly forward
to save the day, and attempted to check
the Confederates; but Jackson at that
time had extended his left with the bril-
gades of Archer's and Pender's. of Hill's
Division. and thrown his extreme left
forward around the upper end Of the
wheatfeld so that when Gordon advanced
he found himself within a blaze OF mus
kerry, both in front and flank. and was
forced in disorder fro-, the field, after
losing fully one third of his men. A small
battalion Of Federal cavalry then charg-
ed down the Culpeper road to aid In saw
