A German Waltz Did II.

Peter Eichele, Jersey City, N. J., says
that he thinks it was in March, 1862,
when the Army of the Potomac moved
and the cry was "On to Richmond" His
regiment, the 39th N. Y, was in camp
at place called Hunters Chapel, Va.
Part of the army went down to the
Peninsula. The German Division
marched to Centerville over the old
Bull Run battlefield and thru the Shen-
andoah Valley. When they came to
the Shenandoah River, about Is 900 or
10000 strong, they waded across, and
then marched on in the sun and dust
in wet uniforms. After we had crossed
the river several times a howl came.
The 39th N. Y, which was in advance,
refused to wade over again. This
brought the whole division to q stand
still. Then q cornet player of the band
waded into the middle of the river and
played a German waltz. That settled 1T.
roar Of fun followed, and tho whole
division took another swim.

The Texans overlook them, and they
were taken without firing a shot. The
prisoners were drawn up in line, and
this offer was made to them:
ITO all who take service with us in

horse, saddle and bride, and all each

the Regular Army be it said not one
soldier accepted the offer. They were
then paroled. Eighteen of them re-
fused to be paroled, saying they had
sworn to uphold the honor of Old Glory,
and they would take no other oath.
This when they fully expected to be
shot for their stubbornness. They were
kept as prisoners, but finally made their
escape and Joined us at Fort Craig, just

A Post Song,

Comrade ]. Allison Coe, Commander
Post z. of Chicago, Ill, writes that he
believes that II is most desirable that
the remaining veterans of the Union
rally around their respective Posts. as
we'll as the Flag. and that tho they
may not shout the Battle Cry of Free
DOM more, they may still sing the old
army songs. Comrade Coe believes thai
they are answering the call for the long
long march at the rate Of full regi-
ment every 10 days, and that they
should therefore take more interest in
Memorial Day and all patriotic work
He sends in a reconstructed song. as
he terms it, which he thinks will make
a good rallying song for both Memorial
and Flag Day, and which is really very
good:
Yes. Wen rally around the Post, boys
Wen rally once again,
Singing the army songs of Freedom.
The Grand Army is our boast, boys,
Thru sorrow, joy or pain,
Singing the army songs of Freedom.
Old Glory forever. Hurrah, boys
Hurrah,
The veterans endeavor retained every
star.
So Wen rally around the Flag, boys,
Rally once again,
Singing the army songs of Freedom.
1t is hailed in every land, boys,
1t waves on every sea,
Singing the army songs of Freedom.
1t stands for peace and right, boys.
The hope of liberty,
Singing the army songs of Freedom.
Chorus
The busle's calling, calling, grand
Battalions brave and true.
Singing the army songs of Freedom.
Let Us keep their memory bright
While they sleep beneath the dew,
Singing the army songs of Freedom.

the forts in Arizona were ordered aban-
doned, their garrisons concentrating at
Fort Fillmore. n. NJ, on the Rio
Grande, 10 miles north of the Texas
line and 120 miles south of Fort Craig.
Early in 1862 rumors were afioat that
there was a force of Texans variously
estimated at from 5000 TO 1000, march
ing to invade New Mexico; also that
there was a regiment of volunteers from
Colorado coming to our assistance. A
regiment of New Mexican volunteers
made UP of poems and greasers, was al
so raised. Meanwhile the Texans came
on, and encamped opposite Fort Fill
