his orders to move slowly and TO keep
quiet as we went down into the val

break and time to strike II we were
going to strike. Between us and the
valley there was a dense fog, and the
vanguard went forward into it and
disappeared.
In ten minutes we advanced down
the incline into the fog. At the rear
of the regiment | could see not more
than two of the ten companies. The
others were down somewhere in the
fog. In twenty minutes a man came
running back with an order for the
mountain horitzers to come to the
front, and as they went forward the
fog lifted. | saw not only all our own
regiment stretched along the winding
mountain road, but below in the val
ley several regiments breaking camp.
The flags they carried were not like
ours. They wore gray, instead of blue
uniforms, and it was clear to us that
this division of the enemy had just
withdrawn its pickets preparatory to
leaving camp when the fog lifted and
revealed our line in blue.
"As their skirmishers advanced
ours retreated, and the whole column
ABOUT faced and marched back up the
hill. The boys didn't like this, and

She heard the guns OF Tyler's division
when they opened on Beauregard's
left flank at the Stone Bridge. She
saw the columns of Hunter and Heint-

Sudley to turn the confederate rear
and seize the Manassas Gap railroad.
She saw the confederate brigades of
Bee and Barlow driven from Buck
Hill. She saw the confederate troops
swinging to the north from the fords
along Bull Run. This old woman saw
the three divisions Of McDowell's
army and the armies OF Peauregard
and Johnston come together. and she
saw the crimson struggle on Henry

People have kidney disease. They

They never once think of catarrh. Kid

sociated in the minds of the people,
and, alas, it is not very often associated
in the minds of the physicians. Too
few physicians recognize catarrh of the
kidneys. They doctor for something
