A Christmas Dinner i'm '6s.

Editor National Tribune: Christmas
brings to my mind the one spent at
Scottsboro, Ala, in 1863. The Fifteenth
Corps had come from Vicksburg to
Memphis, and then marched thru to
Chattanooga, participated in the bat
| ties at Lookout Mountain and Mission
airy Ridge, marched to the relief of
Burnside at Knoxville, and back to
Chattanooga and then to Scottsboro,
Ala There the Fourth Division went
into Winter quarters. After arranging
our camp for the Winter there were
other things to do. Forage and corn
to get for the mules, and to make hom-
my for the men (hominy was a COM
panion and second only to the old
white army beam. Just a few days
before Christmas there WAS an order
for the regiment to which the writer
| belonged and one other regiment of the
division at that camp TO go out with the
lregimental wagons and gather corn, of
which there was an abundant supply
| in the Tennessee River bottoms not far
away. Arriving at the big corn fields
some eight or 10 miles away, it was the
duty of some of the boys to help pick
| the corn and others to do picket duty,
as the supply of Johnny cavalry was
about as plentiful as corn. Only the
turbulent Tennessee was between us
and the enemy
| The wagons were loaded in due time,
and no enemy had interfered. Every
| thing on our side of the river surren-
| dered; even the fat geese followed us
| into camp. or at least two of them did.
After considering the matter for some
| time, my ever-ready bunky and /
thought il too much for two big fat
gooses to march seven or eight miles
to camp, so we persuaded them TO ride
| on our company wagon. There was to
| be great feast on that memorable
Dec. %. 1863. My bunky and detailed
ourselves committee of two to pre-
pare a sumptuous feast for our friends,
of which there were many. Two geese
-four, soda, vinegar for sour milk, then
something TO bake the critters in. The
found an old black Aunt Hanna, who
for baking bread in.
The pie crust was made by your
humble servant, and the dough was
rolled out fiat by using a big white ear
of corn, which made it of beautiful de-
sign, the dents in the grains printing
/ to perfection. The oven was lined
with the dough prepared for the crust,
then layers of goose and more dough,
then more goose and dough again We
heaped up the Goals and waited. and q
finer potpie was never served than the
one that day. But where are they that
ate of that dinner? l am here but do
not know just where any of those that
gathered around that board IS years
ago are.--Henry f. HubbelI Co. +,

Riding With Sheridan.

Editor National Tribune: I belonged
to Capeharts Brigade at the time of the
battle of Cedar Creek and later to Gus
ter's Brigade. had my horse killed
a few days before the battle, and went
TO Winchester to get another one. I
got a good horse, and, with about six
or seven other soldiers who were going
20 the front, got up early on the morn
ing of the fight. We heard the BOOM
ing of the guns. I looked down in VIM
chester and saw Gen. Sheridan. He
was alone When he rode up he said:
Mount, boys" i was about 18 years
old and was delighted. 1 mounted at
once, and rode up by his side and said I:
General, there is fighting up the road
Yes, he said, ''and we must get there
as quickly as we can"
We hit the pike fast. I was deter
mined to keep up with him or kill my
horse, and 1 did, keeping close to him
I'LL we got TO the line of battle
As he rode along the line he had his
hat OFF. think il was about 10 o'clock.
An officer asked me what / was doing
there. ] told him that 1 had come up
with Gen. Sheridan. He told me to
stay in the road and not let any but
the wounded pass. l watched the
wounded ones as they passed till l got
SICK. stayed there till dark / learned
that my regiment was on the left. SO |
mounted my horse and rode till 1 found
them The next morning 1 was told to
report to Gen. Capehart's headquar-
tiers. He came out, and we rode TO a
big tent Gen. Sheridan was standing
at the tent. He took off his hat and
told the General to come in. There
was big fire in the yard, and I looked
at the captured stuff. There was a pile
OF Gen. Early's camp goods as big as a
house and by it was the artillery. II
was pointing up the Valley / counted
90 pieces (six of them dismounted). !

Tomorrow may not bring us flowers
so if today we find blossom in the way,
let us cherish it.
Tomorrow's sky may be clouded, but
if today the earth is golden with sun
shine, let us take thought of the brightest
and be glad.
Every day brings some gladness. II

but it is all there is for us, SO we may
make the most OF it."
If the pleasantness of little ride comes
