once lift her eyes. She sat directly
upon the middle of the grave, her
skirts spread as far as they would

was knitting as calmly as if she were
seated on little splint- -bottomed
chair in her own room. She paid mo-
attention to the astonished group that
stopped before her.

three- just, before crossing the Etowah,
for LIS days. There was not q day. or
night In which there were no soldiers
slain. The screeching shells burst
over our heads while we were sleep
ing, but, wonderful to tell, the SOL
diers had become so used to this con-
flict that they lost very little sleep in
consequence of the f1tful and random
firing at night. -
In that period Of 113 days there were
10 sizable battles fought. In one at
tack 1 made at Pickett's Mill l lost
800 killed and three times as many
utes. At night I sat among the
wounded and realized something of
the horrors of war. 1t seems to me to-
day as I think of it like terrible
nightmare, but it was a mores terrible
reality, which l will not attempt to de-
scribe.
When come to think of the March
to the Sea" and later the March
Through the Carolinas," what occurs
to my memory first is the exceeding
hardihood of the soldiers. They re-
covered quickly from their wounds, /
mean from those that were not too
severe, and there was scarcely any
illness. But when Columbia was on
FIRE an untold number perished in the
flames Still more perished from ac-
cidental explosion OF cohfederate
shells at Columbia and CheraW.. ..Wb

oorpses and distorted faces OF the
wounded that cannot be described. u
feel the same horror and depression
in view of these things as I.=did at
Gettysburg, where on both sides ub-
ward Of $4,000 men were placed hors
de combat. For several days poor fel-
lows, union and confederate soldiers,
waited In patience, unattended by sur
geons, simply because there were not
. enough of them.
Without further detail, imagine the
Joy that came over the armies Of Sher-
man as they gathered about Raleigh,
N. c., In 1866, and were told that Lee
had surrendered and that Grant had
sent Lees soldiers home to begin life
anew; that Johnston had surrendered
on the same terms as Lee and all that
belonged to Slocum's, Schofield's and
Howard's armies were to march on
the morrow toward Washington, the
capital Of the nation, soon to be mus
tered out Of service and then to go

Raleigh to Richmond, and never
