intuition as mine will not fit your gun. He said Take it." Now being equipped with a gun and ammunition, I hurriedly moved toward the front When within 200 yards of the line of battle at the foot of the small elevation on which the line of battle was formed, l saw a lieutenant of Company H safely enseonced behind a large tree. He asked me to stay with him, saying, "The regiment will be here in a few minutes" This was about 10 o'clock a. m. l remained with him till 2 D. m., when l left him. he strenuously in- sisting that l should remain with him. While I was with him about F o'clock Colonel Hundly with the Thirty-first Ala bama regiment came on the field of bat tie and took it's place in the line of bat tie on the right flank. the Twentieth hav- ing held the right before noon. When reached my company Lieutenant Lockett, who commanded Company H, asked me where l had been. told him all the cir cumstances He said, You did right in obeying his orders, but Lieutenant - is a d. coward.
 About this time Lieutenant Lockett re- ceived orders from Col l. W. Garrett, who commanded the brigade after the death of General Tracy, to withdraw Company H from the line of battle and go out on the right flank to ascertain if the enemy was coming around our right flank. We withdrew from the front and moved to the right in the rear of Colonel Hundlys regiment. We had not gone far before the enemy fired on us. Lieutenant Lockett then detailed me to report to Colonel Garrett that the enemy was in that direction. I hurried to headquarters and reported to him. He said. "Go back quickly and tell Lieutenant Lockett that when he hears three cannons fire in the rear to retreat at once; in the meantime go by and give Colonel Hundly the same orders" Colonel Hundy's line was formed on a public dirt road that crossed a ra- vine, on each side of the ravine. There was a cut, and across the ravine there was a fill The men were in the cuts on each side of the ravine and none on the fill.
 Colonel Hundly was on the right of the fill. When I reached the left end of the fill the men told me that if l attempted to cross the fill would be killed I said Colonel Hundly must have the orders, and if l get killed some of you must carry him the order. Then I said Here goes for life or death, and leaped across that fill in the twnkling of an eye and gave Colonel Hundly the order. I then hurried to Lieutenant Lockett, and while giving him the order. "Booml boomi boom!' the three cannons fired, and we hastily left the field of action, and retired to the rear, thoroughly satisfied that we had done our whole duty during the day.

Vessel Sprung a Leak.

Vineyard Haven November S.-Buheted and well nigh wrecked by the Bermuda storm of October 24, the British schooner Advent, Captain Tent, from Macoris, San Domingo, for New York, came into port today with their crew hard at work at the pumps Her captain reported the abandoned wreck of what Is thought to have been the schooner John W. Lynnell, bound from Fernandina to New York. On the following day the Advent passed a considerable amount of wreckage to the leeward of the derelict which had every appearance of raft. Before sighting the derelict the Advent passed tramp steam CT apparently bound for Europe, and it is thought she might have rescued the crew of the abandoned vessel.

IRON PRODUCERS MEET.
They Realize That Further curtaiI-
 ment of Product Is Necessary.

Philadelphia, November 3.-Realizing that a further curtailment of their pro- duct Is necessary to restore the pig iron markets to its normal condition, repre- sentatives of nearly all the big pig iron producers in the eastern district held a meeting here yesterday and adopted a resolution to continue the same ratio of reduction for November as during Octo- Der. This means that all the merchant blast furnaces in eastern and southern New York, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland will re- duce their output for the current month at least 20 per cent.
 The production for October showed that total output of the furnaces involved had been reduced to 6S,5 300 tons. The average monthly output is 112000 tons
 It was stated at the meeting that the surplus of iron accumulated by producers during the past few years is rapidly dim nishing under the curtailment prices.

 New Orleans, November 3.--The course of Liverpool this morning was by some traders accepted as favorable and by others as the reverse. This market open- ed lower on favorable weather and the promise of increased receipts. Spots to- day were marked down Ac and a gen. erally easier tendency is to be noted throughout the country The movement promises to be heavy, which will no doubt give courage to the bears and much will depend on the attitude of the interior.
 Violent fluctuations can reasonably be looked for in cotton this season as the supply and demand situation is so criti- cal that there will naturally be periods of excitement with rapidly advancing prices whenever there is any urgent demand for the staple, or any falling off in re- ceipts. and consequently periods of de-
