THE COLONEL's HAMS.

IHE COIONEL HAMS.
In storing the meats we had gathered
from the WestmorelandI9 County smoke
houses within the hold of our ship, the
hams were separated from the bacon and
piled by themselves. These were desig-
mated the "Colonel's hams," from the fact
that we all knew that n0tIa ham of them
was intended for the use of any enlisted
man, but were regarded las the especial
property of the Colonel and other officers.
We did not reach Belle Plain Landing on
our homeward journey. until after dark

this gentle drizzle and the thick darkness
that came with it at an early hour of
the evening was exactly what we needed
in our business, for among the deck pas
sengers plan Of campaign had been care
fully matured, whereby the private soldier
might for once share equally with his
superior officers, or perhaps trife better.
A vigilant and faithful guard had been
stationed at the door leading to the store
room below, where the Colonel's hams and
the bacon were so carefully stored; but in
military life 1t SO happens that all faithful
guards are drawn from among the enlisted
men-a regulation Of which private SOL
diers sometimes take advantage. In this
instance it was necessary for the success
of our campaign that the guard should be
selected with exceeding care and thor
oughly instructed in his duties. All this
was accomplished in perfect order. and the
countersign, ''The Coloners hams," spoken
in n whisper in the ear of the faithful
sentinel, when the darkness became so in

we who were particularly interested in
the history of George Washington and his
cherry tree-and most of us were-found
it necessary to go outside our picket lines
in small detachments; and never during
the great civil war was it my fortune to
find another such field, so perfectly pro-
vded with all the comforts and conven-
fences so dear to the heart of the forager.
Westmoreland County had escaped the
ravages of both raiding Reb and foraging
Yank until this advent of the Badger boys
upon her sacred soil. As We journeyed
forth upon the highways and byways our
souls were delighted with the fair pros
pect. Every smOke-house sent forth the
rich aroma of well-cured ham and bacon,
every farm-yard resounded to the merry
cackle of the festive hen, and as silently
