SAVED OUR COLORs."

ga ELI OUh OOLOhS.
In my article in this columns on Aug.
9th, I stated that the 18th, Louisiana
Regiment and the Crescent or "kid
glove" Regiment from New Orleans, were
sent to Pollard, Ala. to guard the rail-
road running from Mobile to Richmond
AS there was Bay from the Gulf of
Mexico close by and the Confederstes
were afraid the Federal would land
force and destroy the railroad, 30 We
remained there from June until the latter
part of September, when we were or
dered on this, the Mississippi River,
via jackson and Vicksburg, Miss, then
down the river to mouth of Red River,
and then down the Atchafalaya to Nor
gan City where the Crescent Reg,was to
be reorganized being CONSOLIDATED with
18th Louisiana while at Pollard, Ala.
an over from Pollard to this side of the
Mississippi River, a good many of our
boys of the Crescent Regiment staid
behind and visited there friends in
Mississippi and Louisiana knowing their
old officers would not punish them. So
when we arrived in Morgan City there
was only about 1876 members present,
but only remained there two days'when
we were ordered to Bayou Lafouche. La,
with the 18th La. Regimerg, and the
first thing we knew was confronted by
General Weitzels Brigade about IL
miles this side of Donaldsonville on
Bayou Lafouche with about 400 men
and two pieces of artillery. Fought
Weitzels Brigade for over two hours but
our artillery got out of ammunition, we
were in ditch behind fence, with
Bayou Lafouche and public road to our
right and swamp behind us and hardly
any way to get out, and about 80 of the
Crescent Regiment was taken prisoners,
but my second Lieutenant, Thos. Gary
took our flag and carried it through the
swamp from 1 1-2 foot to feet deep,
amongst alligators and snakes. car
ried the flag and Lieut.. Cary the staff.
The 18th Louisiana buried their flag,
and never did find it on future return.
1t was a tough time to travel through
that swamp from 6 p. m. until near IL
p. M, and after getting to Thibodors-
vile was threatend with court martial
for leaving my post as commissary, but
saving our flag was the only thing saved
me from court martial. The only cause
for leaving my post as commissary WAS
our small force to fight Brigade. and
leaving my rations alright with one of
my friends, Will Daughtery. who was
not we'll. I asked him to take care of
the rations and took his place in the
ranks. Our Lieut.. Col. G.P .MoPheeters
was killed 10 feet behind me. He was
leading lawyer from New Orleans. Our
flag, the Crescents, was one of the finest
flags at the battle of Shiloh, and pre-
sented to our Regiment by the ladies of
New Orleans, and it's cost was $500.
The date OF this fight was 9th of Oct.
1862, and was called the battle of La
batesville.
In my next 1 will say something
about being with Lieut.. engineer Bulow,
the German Engineer building the Fort
Bulow between the falls at Alexandra
and our Red River. If am not mis-
taken he was brother of the present
Prime Minister of Germany,
Yours truly,

by the presence of about thirty vags

began to find out who they were, they
repaired to the Noxall rooms where
the members Of the club, who also
happened to be the vags." enjoyed a
smoker. 1t being Halloween the
members adorned all of the old rags
that they were seen purchasing at
the rummage sale, and made them
selves have the appearance of the
worst old tramp that ever came down
the pike However, dressed as they
were in their ugly costumes they en-

the vital interest of the working class

for and why it should receive their
support He explained the aims of the
party, comparing its platform with
those of the republican and democratic
parties and put forth logical argu-
ments. His language was, plain and
easily comprehended, his enthusiasm
gentlemanly and conscientious
