General Smith turned very pale. A
moment later he cried in a loud voice;

On Christmas day General Lee NOV
ed out of Nicksburg with six regiments
of infantry and two batteries to check
General Sherman in his landing on the
Yazoo river, thirteen miles distant,
I General Lee occupied the bluffs and
other high ground along line of ten
miles. There, on the three days fol
lowing Christmas, was much bloody
skirmlshing, and ON the Goth was
fought the decisive battle Of Chlckasaw
Bayou Tor Bluffs, as some authorities
call it,. Lee defeated Sherman, who
finally assaled his well placed forces,
and the northern general abandoned his
attempt to get into Nlcksburg. Thus
the city was saved to the Confederacy
for more than six months.
The man in muddy boots and drip
ping clothes who broke up the ball
and brought about the sangulnary con

Confederate victory, was Philip IL.
Fall, soldier detailed as a telegraph
operator Lee S. Daniel, another Con-

details of this important service, fur

have been supplied recently by General
Lee himself, the only surviving lieu
tenant general of the south.
Telegraphcrs were scarce in the
south when the war began. Most OF
the operators were northerners and
went home When young Daniel and
