City, N. j., in the National Tribune.
We went around Winchester and
struck the pike at Kernstown on
Saturday.
The command to which l belonged
was a detachment of Coles Rangers,
under Captain Link. He was in the
advance. The First New York cav

Sunday many were cheated out Of

sounded. The rebs had sighted us,
and opened fire on us with three
small guns. we were ordered TO
charge. We drove them back, but
we did not get back to our break
fast. That started the fun for the
day. We had few chargers and
skirmishers with Coles cavalry.
About p. m. the enemy came out
of the woods on our left and front,
and it was there that Colonel Multi
gan was killed and left in the hands
of the enemy He and Captain Link
were leading US and the First New
York cavalry. but the rebs were too
much for US. / did not see any other

Change for the Worst.

Some boys of a Michigan cavalry regi
ment, revisiting the scene of a scout
near the line between Virginia and
North Carolina, came to a Crackers
home, which formerly stood within the
state of North Carolina, but which
owing to the relocation of the bound
ary line. was then In Virginia. One
of the boys asked the old lady how
she liked living in Virginia. She re
piled:
