RECoLLECTIoNs OF cHICKA-
 MAUGA
By R. P. Grigg of Montgomery. of
 Co. E, 60th Alabama Regiment.

The following incidents and recollections
 were suggested by the Confederate Re union In Montgomery. November last |. The companv of which write was known as Co. A. Third Battalion, Billiards i.e- zion. and was composed of young men.
 some not over l6 years old. the sons of
 proud Alabama gentlemen, the flower of chivalry. After being in the service twelve months. the Legion was formed into two regiments, the '9th Alabama and the 60th Alabama. and this company then became Co. F. 60th Alabama. The 18th.
 18th and 20th of September. 1863. is d
 mere period of history to sons of Neter- ans, but the Veteran has the occasion in- dellibly stamped upon his memory, and there are many, who carry horrible sears | of that memorable engagement Mention will be made only of those patriots who sacrificed their lives. pierced by shot and l shell. upon the altar of their country, in | that unfortunate struggle. the recalling of whose names will bring tears to many ! eyes and sadness to many homes in and around Montgomery.
 John Connor. a Northern man by birth, | but true to his adopted State. was killed 1 nearest the enemv's works. John McCar-
 dle Martin and Nick Gilmer. the beard l less youth and a splendid fellow, all fell on that awful day.
 James Ponder. the inimitabe Jim! So full of biloyancy and sunshine. that after
 marching twenty miles a day would look l for a board upon which to shuttle jig; This young soldier was so near sighted | that he could not distinguish foe from | friend ten paces from him. and vet he I went boldly into the smoking hell of bat | tie and gave his young and joyous life | for his country.
 | The Christian soldier was Zeno Gayle | It was the privilege of the writer to be | by the side of this friend when he ided l for he lived until about midnight after l being fatally wounded. Knowing the end 1 was near. he began to sing Jesus Lover | of My Soul" and as l leaned over him
 to catch the last whispered notes of this | beautiful hymn, the camptires revealing | a countenance beaming with hope. thi: I grand character sang himself into Heav' | en. Few men have been permitted tc witness such a sweet translation. He dieo | as he had lived true to his country, his | friend and his God. No truer patriots | than these sacrificed their lives in that | unfortunate war, and Chickamauga was
 made hailowed by the drinking of theii ] blood. God bless their memories.

Union Springs Chapter.

The Union Springs Chapter has forty five (45) Crosses of Honor which will be conferred on as many Veterans on the 26th of next month. at which time this Chapter will unite with the Memorial As sociation in the observance of Memorial Day.
 Major D. $. Bethune has been invited to act ds our spokesman on that occasion. Besides the eXpeuse of the crosses the Chapter has contributed to the Shiloh Monument Fund. to the Alabama Room at Richmond. and paid it's taxes to both United and State Divisions, sO that now the treasury is in such an exhausted con dition that unless an immediate and spe- cial effort is made il cannot respD to our State Presidents appeal for the Old Soldiers Fund.
 Our ht arts are not lacking in warmth and loyalty for our uccdN Veterans, but being weak in respect to Ium9C rs we may not be able to give any substantial cNi- dencc or our sympathy and patriotism be- fore the close or the present Convention year. but hc sure w shall he fANorahly heard from during the next.
 Our meetings are held regularly and have increased in interest and attend ance since our Historian inauGuratcd the plan of asking and answering any ques- tions asked concerning the cause. conduct and effect uf the Civil War. The meet ings are now anticipated as promising something more than the ordinary rou- tine of business besides the information gained thereby fosters the very objects for which our Association was organized.
