MORE ABOUT GEN. GORDON.

Dear readers, will this week
try to give you General Gordon's
first command and the outbreak OF
the war.
The outbreak of war found him
in the mountains of Georgia, Ten
nessee and Alabama engaged in
the development of coal mines.
This does not mean that he was
citizen Of three States, but it does
mean that he lived 50 near the
lines that his mines were in Geor-
gia, his house in Alabama and his
postoffice in Tennessee. The first
company Of soldiers, therefore,
with which he entered the service
was composed of stalwart noun.
taineers from the three States.
He had been educated for the
bar, and for a time practiced law
ia Atlanta.
In September, 1854, he married
Miss Fannie HARRISON, third
daughter Of Gen. Hugh A. Harel-
son, Of La Grange, Georgia. The
wedding occurred on her seven
teenth birthday and he was TWEEN
ty.two. They had two children,
both boys. The struggle between
devotion to his family on the one
hand and duty to bis country on
the other was most trying to his
sensibilities. His spirit had been
caught up by the flaming enthusi-
asm that swept like prairie fire
through the land, and be fastened
to unite with the brave men Of the
mountains in organizing a compa-
my of volunteers. But what was
be to do with the girl wife and the
two little boys.
The wife and mother was no less
taxed ii her effort to settle this
momentous question, but finally
yielding to the promptings of her
own heart and to her unerring
sense Of duty she ended doubt as
to what disposition was to be made
of her by announcing that she in
tended to accompany him to the
war, leaving her children with his
mother and faithful Mamma
Mary"
He reioiced at her decision then
and had still greater reasons for

to a commonplace company o.
slow, plodding foot soldiers. Re
luctantly, therefore, they aban
doned their horses, and in ordei
certainly to reach the point of &C
ton before the war was over
they resolved to 90 at once to The
front as infantry, without waiting
for orders, arms or uniforms.
Not man in the company hac
the slightest military training anC
the captain himself knew very lit
tie of military tactics. The new
government that was to be formed
had no standing army as a nucleus
around which the volunteers could
be brought into compact order,
with a centre of discipline and
thoroughly drilled soldiery, and
the State which was to form it had
but few arms and no artisans or
factories to supply them. The
oldfashioned squirrel rifles and
le-barreled shotguns we're
called into requisition.
Gov. Joseph E. Brown, of Geor-
gia, put shops in the State to work
making what were called Joe
Browns pixies" They were a
sort Of rude bayonet or steel lance,
fastened not to guns, but to long
poles or handles and were to be
given to men who had no other
arms. OF course few, if any Of
these pikemen, ever had occasion
to use these warlike implements
which we're worthy of the middle
ages, but those who bore them
we're as gallant knights as ever
leveled lance in close quarters.
| may say that very few bayo-
nets of any kind were actually
used in battle, so far as my obser-
walton extended. The one line or
the other usually gave way under
the CALLING fire Of small arms,
grape and canister, before the bay
onet could be brought into requi-
sition. The bristling points and
the glitter of the bayonets we're
fearful to look upon as they we're
leyeled in front of charging line,
but they were rarely redeemed
with blood. The day of the bayo-
net is passed except for use in
hollow squares, or in resisting

then capital of Georgia. At At

or met them telling them to go
back home and stay there until
their services were needed. Their
discontinue can be better imag-
ined than described. In fact there
broke out at once in his ranks a
new rebellion. These rugged
mountaineers resolved that they
would not go home; that they had
a right to 90 to the war, had start
ed to the war, and were not going
to be trifled with by the Governor
or any one else. Finally, after
much persuasion and by the eau
tious exercise Of the authority
vested in him by his office of cap
tam, he prevailed on them to get
on board the home bound train.
As the engine bell rang and the
whistle blew for the train to start
the rebellion broke loose again
with double fury. The men rushed
to the front of the train, uncou-
pied the cars from the engine and
grayely informed him that they
had reconsidered and were not
going back, that they intended TO
go to the war, and that if Governor
Brown would not accept them
some other Governor would.
Prophetic of future dash as this
wild impetuosity might be it did
not give much promise of soIdierly
discipline, but he knew his men
and did not despair. He was sat
Isfied that the metal in them was
the best of steel and only needed
careful tempering.

rejoicing at it afterward, when he
felt through every fiery ordeal the
inspiration of her near presence,
and had at need the infinite com.
fort of her tender nursing. The
mountaineers did the honor to Sc
lect him their captain. 1t was the
first Office he had ever held and be
believed it would be the last, for
he expected to fight with these
men till the war ended or until be
was killed.
Their first decision was to mount
and 90 as cavalry. They had not
then learned, as they did later, the
full meaning of that war song, IF
you want to have good time, jine
the cavalry" but like most South
erners, they we're Injured to horse
back and all preferred that great
arm of the service. This company
of mounted men was organized as
soon as q conflict seemed probable
and prior to any call for volun
teers. They were doomed to a
disappointment. "No cavalry now
needed" was the laconic and stun
ming reply to their offer Of serv-
ices. What was to be done was
the perplexing question. The
proposition to wait until mounted
men were needed was promptly
negatived by the suggestion that
we were so far from any point
where a battle was likely to occur,
and so hidden from view by the
surrounding mountains, that we
might be forgotten and the war
might end before we had a chance.
Let us dismount and go at once
as infantry" This proposition
was carried with a shout and by
an almost unanimous vote. His
own vote and whatever influence
be possessed were given in favor
of the suggestion, although his de-
sire for cavalry service had grown
to a passion. Accustomed to
ride horseback on his fathers
plantation from early childhood,
and with an untutored imagination
picturing the wild sweep of his
charges upon belching batteries
and broken lines of infantry, i'll
was to him, as well as to his men,
a sad descent from dashing cavalry

when those in front not only had
"gons" in their hands, but were
firing them with dlstracting rapid
itY. This rude Irish philosopher
had explained in a sentence one
cause of the wild and aimless firing
which wasted more tons of lead nj
a battle than all its dead victims
would weigh.
There was, at the outbreak of
the war and just preceding it, a
class of men both North and South
over whose inconsistencies the
thoughtful, self poised and deter
mined men who did the fighting
made many jokes, as the situation
grew more serious. 1t was that
class of men in both sections who
were most resolute in words and
most prudent in acts, who urged
the sections to the conflict and then
did little to help them out of it;
who, like the impatient warhorse,
shifted the battle from afar-very
far-but who, when real war be-
gan to.roll its crimson tide nearer
and nearer to them, came to the
conclusion that it was better for
the country as we'll as for them
selves to labor in other spheres,
and that it was their duty, as
Americas great humorist put it,
to sacrifice, not themselves, but
their wives relations on the altar
of patriotism. One of these furi-
Gus leaders of the South declared
that if we would secede from the
Union there would be no war, and
if there should be q war we could |
whip the Yankees with childrens' |
popguns. When, after the war,
this same gentleman was address
ing an audience he was asked by
an old MANNED soldier, s'Say, 1
Judge, amt you the same man
that told us before the war that we
could whip the Yankees with pop
guns" YES" replied the witty
speaker, land we could, but con-
found 'em they wouldn't fight US
that way"
His company, dismounted and
ready for infantry service, did not
wait for orders to move, but has

China.
OF course Georgia's able war
governor did not contemplate any
very serious execution with these
pixies, but the volunteers came in
such numbers and were so eager
for the fray that something had to
be done, and this device served its
purpose. 1t at least shows the
desperate straits In securing arms
to which the South was driven,
even after Selling the United
States arsenals within the Confed-
crate territory.
The irrepressible humor and
ready rustic wit, which afterwards
relieved the tedium of the march
and broke the monotony of the
camp, and which, like star in the
darkness, seemed to grow more
brilliant as the gloom of war grew
denser, had already begun to
sparkle in the intercourse of the
volunteers. A woodsman who
was noted as a crack shot among
his hunting companions felt sure
that he was going to win fame as
a select rifleman in the army, for
he said that in killing a squirrel
he always put the bullet through
the head, though the squirrel
might be perched at the time on.

about that, but he doubtless found

armies did, that it made vast diff
