A Truce mt Frederlcksburg.

Editor National Tribune: There oc-
Cured an incident at the battle of Fred
ericksburg, Va, any mention of which
l have never seen in print. On the Sec
ond, or possibly the third, day Of the
battle a flag of truce appeared in front
of the Left Grand Division; whether in
response to one from our side or re-
quest / do not know. From our side
the bugle sounded, "Cease firing" and
the truce seemed complete.
The remarkable incident was the ris-
ing from the ground on both sides of
the line-the lines being very near each
other, only divided by the railroad en-
bankment and our regiment (the 10th
n. Y.) being on the front line, with, of
course, other regiments-of every man
and mingling together as friends, cut
ting off and exchanging buttons, coffee
and bareback for tobacco and flour,
swapping knives, etc. I will not try to

The Death of Gen. Hill.

Editor National Tribune: was
pleased to read in The National Tribune
of Nov. 30, 1905, julius p. Henderson's
account of the killing Of Gen. A. p.
who was an eyewitness at the time, and
car Vouch for the very near correctness
of that statement. AS to the exact time
do not claim to be correct, as l did
not have watch and note the minute,
but 1t was near 10 a. m, April 2, 1865.
The 9th Mich. had the honor of cap
turing Fort Malone (Fort He'll, as by
that endearing name we were wont to
call it,, capturing the entire garrison
with all it's artillery and more prisoners
than there We're men in the regiment in
the immediate front of the captured
fort. Gen. Hill was killed while lead
ing in person the third desperate as
sault in an attempt to recapture the
work. The General was in plain view
from where many of US stood, and sew
cral comrades called attention to his
desperate bravery and fine soldierly ap-
pearance. A hundred Spencer repeat
ing rifles were discharged at him when
not 800 yards from the fort; also sew

manned by detachment of the 9Th
Conn. Fl. A., who came into the fort
shortly after it's capture and CALAMITY

fort. That was the last charge to try
to recapture their old works, and with

in so far as my memory serves me, and
it is pretty good yet. l see by your
prospectus a Lieut.. Jasnowsky, of the

Date Culture I'm the Southwest.
(Sunset Magazine.)

A new factor in the already rapid
reclamation Of the desert lands OF the
West has been found I'm the date-palm.
An alkaline soil, intense Summer heat
and absence Of rain supply the condi-
tons under which dates thrive in their
native lands-Arabia, Algeria, Egypt.
There are millions of acres Of such land
in southern Arizona and southeastern
California, and within the past few
years there has been great activity I'm
the importation and planting of foreign
varieties Of dates. The COM
mercial demand for dried dates is suffi-
cient to justify the production of them
in this country, but it is as a fresh fruit
that they hold the greatest promise.
That the dry regions of Arizona, which
lay for years shimmering in idle white
ness, should produce a palm so graceful
and a fruit SO luscious was never
dreamed of by the thousands who toiled
across that country. After a decade or
two has passed and the palms have at
tanned to the majesty of age this arid
section may offer a vision of fruitful
grace that will not prove mirage.

the face OF a superior force is Sc
we're test OF soldiership."
One word more with regard to the
great battle OF Manassas, or Second
Bull Run, and / now quote from John
G. Ropes History OF Pope's Campaign.
He says:
1T was a severe defeat TO Gen. Pope,
but IL was nothing else. II was not q
rout. nor anything like a rout. The
army retired under orders, and though
Of course, there were many stragglersv
IL retreated I'm good order. The ad-
vance of the enemy had been definite
ly checked. and there was no pursuit.
In fact, there was no battle fought In
the whole war In which the beaten
army acquitted itself more creditably
than did Gen. Pope's army on this
bloody day. Compromised as its line
of retreat was by the unexpected ap-
pearance OF Longstreets powerful
corps on the south OF the turnpike,
confusing and embarrassing as was the
attack of this corps, made as il was
upon troops who had been disposed
upon different part of the field, and
who had been repulsed with heavy loss
in their assaults upon Jackson's strong
position, terrible as were the charges
of the fresh divisions which Longstreet
hurled upon our hungry and wearfed
men, the Federal army, like a noble
ship struck by a sudden squall, soon
righted itself. and all, from the Com
manding General and his able lieuten-
ants, to the brave regiments, under
Meade, Reynolds, Buchanan. Tower,
Mclean, Koltes and their other gal
liant commanders, in the confusion OF
this flank attack, and in the gathering
shades of the evening, rallied on the
hills and faced their determined foes
with indomitable pluck and unyielding
fortitude. Beaten they were, but not
put to flight. They retreated indeed,
but in good order, and carrying of all
their artillery that had not been lost In
actual combat"
Pope's campaign lasted nearly one
month. During that time the battles
of Cedar Mountain, Freeman's Ford,
Rappahannock Station, Waterloo
Bridge, Thoroughfare Gap, Brfstow
Station, Gainesville. Groveton, Manas-
sas or Second Bull Run, and Chan
tilly were fought. 1t was a period Of
incessant marching and fighting, dur
ing which the forces on both sides
We're nearly equal. 1t ended with the
battle of Chantilly. Gen. Mcclellan,
with the same troops, baptized in fire
and blood, in the succeeding month,
defeated Lee on the rocky slopes Of
South Mountain and upon the bloody
plains of Antietam, driving his army
from the soil of Maryland. Surely.
1862 was a bloody year for Lees army
as well as the grand old Army Of the
Potomac.

The nerveless condition into which
the enemy had been reduced was shown
by their allowing this heterogeneous ar

which were easily brushed off, and the
whole aggregation was brought safely
