portant mission. Go with the com
missary general and he will find you
your mount and equipment"
Thus dismissed, l went with Stedman
and was accorded a more gentlemanly
welcome than my oyerhearings had
given me leave TO expect.
On the way to the horse paddock the
commissary general told me of his plan
to write a history of the campaign; q
bit of confidence which set me laughing
inwardly and wondering il he would
put one John Ireton, sometime of the
Scots Blues, and late captain in her
Apostolic MajeSty's Hussars, between
the covers of his book. 'Tis small Won
der that he did not. l have since had
the pleasure of reading his history of
the great war, and l find it curiously
lacking in those incidents which did
not rebound to the honor and glory OF
the kings cause and army in the field.
Not to digress, however, my make
shift mount was soon exchanged for a
better: l was allowed to draw what
would of accoutrements and p~rovender
from the kings stores; and SO, TO cut II
short, / was presently at the door of
my lords headquarters fully equipped
and ready for the road.
/ did hope in those last few moments
that / might have a chance TO exchange
q word with my dear lady; might ask
her forgiveness, or, failing so much
grace of her, might at least have an
other sight of her sweet face.
But even this poo boon was denied
me. l was scarce out of the saddle
when an aide came to conduct me to
the general, and | saw no one in the
house save my lord himself.
AS you would guess, my instructions
conformed exactly to the plan outlined
by Lord CORVALLIS in the council. I
was entrusted with a sealed packet for
delivery to Major Ferguson, and, for
safety's sake, as my lord explained,
/ was given the meat of the message
to deliver verbally should the need
arise. Ferguson was to be ordered to
come in instantly by Iorced marches,
il necessary, and he we s on no account
to risk a battle with the over-mountain
men.
You may be sure, my dears, hat I
scarce drew breath till | was a-horse
and out of the town galloping hard on
the road to that ford of Master Mac
gowan's which afterward became ia
nous in our history under the mis-
spelling "Cowan's Ford" Twas too
good TO be true hat ! should be thrust
thus into the very gaping mouth of OPP
portunity, and now and again / would
feel the packet buttoned tight beneath
my huSSar jacket to make sure twas
not a dream to vanish at a touch.
In the mad joy of it the spirit Of
prophecy came upon me, and | saw as
if the thing We're done, how at last l
held the fate of the patriot cause in all
u west country in the hollow of my
hand.

The Sounds of battle,

Only those who lie in the firing line
and near the constant screech of the
shells as they cleave their terrible way
through the air above know the true
sounds of modern war. The whiplike
smack of the bursting shell, the swish
Of the scattering bullets, are nothing to
the hooking screech Of these fearful
messengers of death as they pursue
each other as if in competition to COM
plete the awful object Of their hideous
mission. The whole welkin is discord-
ant with their tumult You feel the
rush of misplaced air, splinters sing in
your ears, the earth is in constant trem-
BILE with the violence of the discharge;
you feel it pulsate against your cheek
pressed to the moist mud of the para
pet, and then bullet saps the life
blood Of comrade whose elbow has
touched yours day and night for forty
hours. There is limit to human Ell
durance in these straits. World 3

GENERAL Coxs ATTACK IN PoNToON BOATS.

to high ground beyond Throughout
the day the fleet kept up rain of fire
upon Fort Anderson, and the Confed-

night, leaving ten pieces of heavy ar

the east side of the river the Confed
crates under General HOke also fell
back and took up a position opposite
the mouth of Town creek. General
Terry followed up Hoke in his retreat,
and General Ames' division crossed
from the west bank of the river to the
east to support Terry. General Cox
pursued the garrison column to the
banks of Town creek
Before evacuating Fort Anderson the
Confederates built strong line of
works on the north bank of Town
creek and manned them with Whit
worth rifed cannon and two field
pieces. The creek was deep and un-
fOrdable. The planking was removed
from the bridge over the creek, and
guns in the works swept the long
causeway over the marsh leading to
the bridge. A single Confederate bri-
gade led by General Hagood held the
works at Town creek.
General Coxs skirmishers work ed
their way through the marsh to the
edge of the creek and picked up an
abandoned hatboat which was used
on the Goth to ferry troops across.
AS the boat could carry but fifty men,
it consumed half day to put two
