Where Gordon's hot throsted guns
Numbered, acts of splendid daring were
being done in the name of the God Of
battle. When bis batteries roared and
screamed, the high tide of carnage ran
reddest, and there often, the fate Of
battle hung. When Gordon charged,
the earth trembled with the impact Of
his wild bsttalions. and the welkin
cracked with the shrill terror of their
battle cry. He was the idol of the whole
army, and his soldiers would have fol-
lowed him into tie fiery vortex of hell .
