1907. The article bears the above head
ing and was written by Will Il. Hale, a
well known writer | send it thinking
that a number of young readers will be
glad to peruse it and thinking perhaps
that there may some survivors OF the
terrible battles around Fredericksburg or
in Spotsylvania who may have had
some personal knowledge of the daring
feat OF the young cannoheer near Fred
ericksburg as told by Mr. Hale.
E.P.P.

"As daring as any feat recordedis that
OF a young Confederate artillerist, Major
John Pelham. Pelham was little more
than youth when he was slain; but 30
daring was he that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
always spoke OF him as ''the gallant
Pelham"
The deed mention was done during
the battle of Fredericksburg. The Union
army had crossed the RappahannocK
River and formed 10 line OF battle TO
attack the Southern army on the heights
beyond. Major Pelham commanded a
battery belonging to Stuart's Cavalry.
Presently the great Federal line began
to advance. In full view of friend and
foe it swung forward, its thousands oi
weapons cleaning brightly. In the
silence that often comes before great
battle, Pelham, with piece OF artillery
and the few men needed to manage the
cannon. DASHED forward between the
two great armies. He halted; there was
a duff of smoke; shell burst over the
Federal line. In a moment the fire oi
twenty Union batteries centered on that
lone gun out in the open. And there
(says the general who tells OF the incl
dent). amid bursting shell and flame
and smoke, that detachment ol
Americanized Frenchmen worked their
gun and stayed the battle near an hour.
Il is said that they sang the Mar
seillaise." Frances national song, which
conld now and then be heard Tor q
moment, borne on the breeze 10 the
break of an almost continuous roar OF
artillery. Thus Southern youth, with
one cannon and commanding eight
Frenchmen, held 10 check Tor "a while

such a session was not needed

At this the borer-the workman
whose business 1t is to bore the
eyes in the needles-asked for
a hair from the Kings head
1t was readily given, when the
workman placed it under the

it with a thread, and then han
ded the singular needle to the
