Peruna, and promised good results IL

sergeant, fused to tell the story of a
battery of artillery that was never at
the front, and yet was on active and
important duty from the day the men
were enlisted to the day they were
mustered out. This was the Twenty
fourth Ohio battery, organized in Au-
gust, 1864, and sent Immediately to
Johnson's island in anticipation of an
attempt to release the rebel prisoners
at that point. The attempt was not
made, and on the 9th of August the
battery was ordered to Camp Douglas,
Chicago, where it remained until June
10, 1865. 1t was one of the best drilled
and best disciplined batteries in the
service, and yet it never fired a shot

John BROWNS WHISTLE.
At Harper's Ferry Still in
Existence.

The silver boatswain's whistle, with
which John Brown piped orders to his
men while they we're at Harper's Ferry,
has been discovered in Washington by
the officers of the Kansas Historical So
ciety. An effort is making to secure the
instrument for the society's museum,
says the Detroit Free Press. When John
Ferry and began preparations for the
seizure of the arsenal, he instructed
them, according to the story, to hide
themselves in the mountain forests and
to refrain from being seen together.
Then he gave them instructions to listen
sunset which would be piped to them
with the boatswain's whistle. These in
structions were carried out to the letter
and for some days preceding the attack
on the arsenal the people of Harper's
Ferry heard the mysterious piping from
Browns headquarters. The notes would
be taken up by the nearest of his fol-
lowers and sent on over the mountains
until the farthest distant of the band
had received the word of the commander.
When Brown was captured, the whistle
was taken from him by Lieut.. Stewart, Of
the regular army, who afterwards be-
came a lieutenant general in the confed-
eracy Stewart finally gave it to Col.
Washington, who in turn presented it
to John Cassin, then we'll known lawyer
in Washington. The whistle is now in
possession of Mrs. Mary A. Cassin, who
resides in Georgetown.

Military Tactics.

A majority of the officers and men
on both sides were very green about
military tactics at the beginning of the
war. A Michigan captain, it is said,
who had been accustomed to driving
an OK team in a lumber camp, when he
first undertook to march his men, in
stead of saying 'file left" or "file
right" or march," used to call out:
whoa; gee, there!" "Haw round
ahead" "G'lang in front, an hurry up
the ind!" An Arkansas colonel of cav
airy is credited with the following:
First Order-Prepar' er ter git on to
yer critters! Second order-Git.-

NEWBERRY WENT DOWN.

NEWBERRY WENT DOWN.
tenant colonel of the Twenty-fourth
New York cavalry. When what was
left of us got back Newberry was tho
senior officer in the cavalry division.
I'm that advance, when we reached
the Petersburg & Norfolk railroad, we
ran up against the real thing in the way
Of defensive works. Col. Newberry led
the advance and struck an angle of the
works and soon his line was in the air,
the supports not being able to get up be-
cause of the enemy's terrific fire. Three
brigade commanders fell in the attempt
to reach Ncwberry, but he did not re-
tire until the enemy began to envelope
his tanks. The line went back in some
disorder, but Newberry was cool and de-
liberate, and when we got under cover
of the creek he went back with squad
to make lodgment in front.
"As usual, the colonel was in the lead,
and after he had posted the boys to his
satisfaction he started to rejoin us in
line. When he got down under the brow
of the little hill and only his head and
shoulders were exposed, a southern
sharpshooter blazed away at him. The
bullet struck big oak tree, flattening
out like pancake, glanced off, and
struck Newberry on the top of his
head in front. The bullet had fiat sur
face, nearly as large as silver dollar.
and when it struck his head Newberry
went down as though he had been shot
through the heart.
almost Immediately he put his hand
to his head expecting to find blood. As
his senses returned he looked at his
hand and then felt his head again. Find
ing no blood an expression of disgust
came over his face, he believing that he
had been struck by spent ball. How
ever, that pancake bullet affected the
muscles of the generals left side and
ever since he has appeared nervous on
his feet It isn't nerves, however; it il
a case Of pancake bullet, case of
wound that did not break the skin, but
LETT its mark"
