The Tattered Flag.

In the sun-bright dust of the street below
Glittered the bayonets all arrow,
And the muffled tread of a thousand feet
Deepened the roll of the war-drum's beat,
And the gray old sergeant reused to hear,
With his followed palm to his deafened
ear,
While the fife shrlled loud and the drums
kept time
To the nations heart beats hid in rhyme.
He lifted himself from his old armchair
And gazed on the regiment marching
there
In a glory of scarlet and blue, and gold.
And high overhead like q torn-out fold
OF Liberty's robe, with its glimmering
Heavens glorious blue on a Geld Of
Mars
The old flag fluttered, half shot away
In the storm and stress of that judgment
day,
When through blood-dyed stream, by
threatening crag,
The Old Line Regiment carried the flag.
The veteran looked; and his face turned
gray
With the spectre light of bygone day.
lie fingered his old gun rusty lock,
He felt the thrill of the battles shock,
And he lifted his head like startled stag
AS he saw the ghosts by the tattered flag.
Some were withered and bent and gray,
Some were blithe and bonny and gay,
And their voices shrilled through the mar
tial din
"Comrade, comrade, where have ye beeuf
Ye have missed the drill this many O
year.
The call rang sweet to his deafened ear.
And his soul broke loose from the Grip
pied form
That had weathered a nations years of
storm,
And he Joined the soldiers who never
The ghosts that march by the tattsred
flag.

as 1t is possible" with twinkle hi his
eyes, that the documents are not
there"
Promptly turning, with his troopers
at his heels, Van Dorm clattered down
the stairway and left the premises.
Twenty-four hours later Grant return
ed, and heard of the Confederates' call.
Knowing what an uncompromising
Southerner Mrs. Goran was, he said to
her:
Mrs Goran, l owe you debt of graf
itude, for you have unconsciously done
me great service. You have saved
my campaign papers. All the docu-
ments General Van Dorm wished were
in the drawer of my wife's dresser"
Mrs Goran's womanly impulse,
which prompted her to shield the wife
of q generous foe, and Van Dorn's
chivalrous Difference to her wishes, had
injured the cause for which they were
willing to give their lives; but both
acts were typical of the high-bred
courtesy of the South of that day.
1t is pleasant to add that General
Grant paid his debt Of gratitude" In
the coin of kindness. When he left
Holly Springs he gave Mrs. Goran pro-
lection papers, which are still in possess
sion of her eldest son. Several times
thereafter the house was fired by
Union soldiers, but the fire was quick
ly extinguished when Grants orders
were exhibited.

They are Passing Away,

Although the Civil War was brought to a
close in April, 1865, less than forty years
ago. most of those who took part in that
conflict are fast passing away, and we pre-
sumo that by the end of another decade,
very few, if any of the old veterans will be
left among us to answer roll call.
We were very forceablY reminded of this
fact while recently conversing with Major
C. F. Salkeld of the Newton Hotel, who
informed us that upon consulting his old
muster out role, dated June %, 1864, to
reply to letter from Quarter-Master Gen
eral r. A. DonnslIy, to ascertain about
how many of his old command would need
transportation to witness the unwilling Of
the New Jersey Battle Monument at Antie-
tam held on the 41st anniversary of that
bloody fight, Sept. II, he was astounded
to find that but three of the members be-
side himself were now living. The Major
commanded Co. F, Sd n. J. Vols. in that
engagement, and was attached to the First
N. J. Brigade, in Gen. VIM. B. Franklin's
Division, and were assigned that day to the
support of Hexamer's Battery of Artillery,
which did such great execution depicting
the ranks of the Confederates. Major s..
went from Bridgeton on the first call for
three years troops and was in 20 engage
ments, extending from Bull Run. July 81,
1861, and left the front at Cold Harbor on
June 5, 1864, on account of expiration of
service, after three days of continuous hard
fighting under Gen. Grant. His old COM
pany originally numbered at 101 men, 5
recruits were added, and today but four of
that number are living. Several of the
regiment were left on the field in this
Antietam fight, and the State of New Jer-
sey proposes to unveil handsome monu-
ment erected to their memory and valor,
next month The Governor of New Jersey
and staff, President Roosevelt and members
of his cabinet, officers of the regular army
and navy, and as many of the survivors of
the old First N. ]. Brigade, (the only New
Jersey troops engaged in that desperate
battle, are expected to be present, the
last Legislature having provided suitable
sum for their transportation.
