HOW Billy saved the Guns.
An incident of the Battle of Winches.
ter, Sept. 0, 1861 under Sheridan.
Do you want to hear the story
OF the boy who bore Old Glory,
When the battle was a-raging fierce and
hot?
Well, just draw your camp stools
To this coy little Ere.
And I'll tell it to you. comrades. on the
spot.
1t was over in the valley,
Just before the final rally,
Which sent Early's forty thousand reel
ing back.
Oh. the fighting was tremendous,
While all around stupendousi
Was heard the trusty musket's deadly
crack.
We'd withdrawn from our position
Just to get more ammunition,
And were listening to the music of the
shell
As it rose in lofty chorus,
All around. behind. before us,
And on our ears in tones of thunder fell.
When, through the rush and rattle,

command:
Move your regiment to the right, sir !.
And again renew the fight, sir,
By retaking those two guns We lost this
morn:
The loss is felt severely,
Their value held most dearly.
And God help you. while you face the
leaden Storm
Fright about :" the colonel shouted,
And not man then doubted
That soon again he'd meet the binding
shell;
For, moving with precision,
To the right of the division
We rushed into the very jaws of hell!
On and on we went a-whooping.
While the Johnnies kept a-shooting,
And the cannon simply shaking up the
ground;
The muskets kept a-cracking,
As the boys kept up their whacking,
With the dead and dying scattered all
around.
But just then their cannonaoing
Got in its enflading.
And raked our thinning ranks from left
to right;
When back we went TO shelter,
In kind of helter-s,ielter,
But Billy stood a-cheering all his
might.
"Come back.' the colonel shouted.
Don't you see the boys are routed?
Bring the colors back, or captured they
will be ~
mary back! !" cried Billy loudly.
And he waved Old Glory proudly,
Bring the regiment back and form line
on me :"
Then again, through fire binding.
Rushed the regiment, only finding
Dead and dying in its pathway as before
But the guns, for which we'd battled,
From whose threats the shots had rat
tied,
Were retaken, and the fearful fight was

So you've heard my little story
OF the boy who bore Old Glory
OF our color-bearer brave. who never
runs
The one who, never fearing.
Stood his ground and kept a-cheering-
The boy whose splendid courage saved
the guns

How Ingalls, Got Even with Sherman
In the course of his memoirs of de-
parted statesmen Senator Vest tells of
a sharp passage between Senator John
L. Ingalls, and Senator John Sherman.
Ingalls, had reported from the pensions
committee a bill granting pension TO
all who had served thirty days in the
Federal army. He stated that the bill
had been unanimously Endorsed by the
Republican national convention. He
moved an immediate consideration and
resumed his seat.
The Democratic Senators felt much
delicacy in opposing any pensions pro-
posed by the Republicans" says Sem
