A Br,ssd,er-General for a uo..,er.

Editor National Tribune: The late
Col. Geo. w. Hooker, of Brattleboro,
VT, was a member of the staff of the
famous Gen. Geo. Stannard, commander
of the Second Vermont Brigade in the
civil war One day while the brigade
was in camp at Union Mills, Va, and
during the temporary absence of the
commander, Col Hooker. and two or
three other members of the staff,
mounted their horses and rode over to
neighboring camp to make some calls
upon kindred spirits. AS a result they
started out to return to their own camp
in what Hosea Bigelow used to say was
reflective mood" Just before they
reached camp they noticed an old,
tumble-down carry-all near farm
house, and after a dicker with the
farmer Hooker hitched up his fiery
charger with patched-up harness and
drove back to camp in the ancient vehi-
Gle. AS Hooker drew up at headquar-
ters, Stannard came out Of his tent,
very much to the surprise of his staff,
who supposed he was to be absent until
the next morning. The General took
hold Of the horses bride while a thun-
dercloud passed over his stern face.
Hooker hesitated a moment, then slow.
ly felt his way to the ground and ap-
proachsd his commanding officer with
an unsteady hand and q whimsical
gleam In his eyes he drew a half dollar
from hts pocket. and handing it to

extreme left that morning at or 2
o'clock. l got up and walked to ssre

where We were camped, and asked one
of the officers there what it meant, and
he said it was the guard firing THEN

swore at me, and told me to lie down
and go to sleep, and then 1 went to our
Colonel at headquarters and called him.
He got up and told me to go and call
the men, so ! went thru the camp and
got all the men up. AS we had no
time to form our lines, we fell back
the best we could, and as we retreated
two or three miles down the pike 1
carried one of our Lieutenants to the
rear, who was wounded. ] found our
command to the left of the pike with
their line of battle formed, my COM
pany being next to the pike. Gen.
Sheridan came up by himself. riding
with great speed, his hat in his hand.
He drew his horse up. and this is what
he said to us: "Boys, come and go
back. You shall sleep where you were
driven from this morning." So we took
our gallant commander at his word,
and back we went. He spoke the truth;
We did sleep at the place from which
we had been driven. We had fresh
beef issued to us the day before, and /
cut a hole one foot square in the
ground, wrapped the beef up in paper
and salt and buried 1t. The Johnnies
did not give us time enough to get 1t,
but they did not get it, either, so we
had our beef for supper that evening
and for breakfast. 1 claim this much
for myself: If it had not been for me
we might have fallen into the hands
of the rebs. They talk SO much about
Early being a little tardy on occasions,
