Sth Illinois cavalry a regiment who
had distinguished themselves in Vir-
ginia by plundering the homes of ag-
ed men and defenceless women and
children whose sons and brothers
were away in the Southern armies
Archers brigade now promptly de-
ployed into line of battle on the
right and Davis on the left. The
former advancing entered body Of
woods and encountering the enemy
in heavy force were captured almost
: to a. man, including the general. The
whole of the 3rd corps was hurried
up and General Hill soon found him
self heavily Engaged. The battle
ragged over the wheatfelds with var
led results until General Rodes of
the End corps coming up with his
division on the enemy's right and
attacking them in flank they were
driven off the field with heavy loss
in killed, wounded and prisoners. 1t
was now about o'clock in the az
ternoon, the enemy were routed and
why the advance was stopped no one
knew then or have found out since.
But all of that is twice told tale.
Some of us rode down into the
town that night and found it desert
ed by the enemy. AS also vas ceme-
terry hill, many an able historian has
written of all this And it might
have been all boiled down to one
answer. Had Stonewall Jackson,
have been there, there would have
been another tale to tell. We would
like to say in conclusion that hav-

towards us fired. We neither saw

have been firing at the sun; it had no
more to do with the battle than any
chicken fight which happened to be
going on in an adjacent barnyard.
However they have built monu-
ment on the spot it seems, and plac-

who were concerned in this doughty
deed. Failing however, to inscribe

continue to do so if only thescalp

Company of Thirteen Ambitious Young
Men and Women Hold Second An

at Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. c. A..
Good Results Obtained.
Brooklyn.-A very interesting collec-
tion of paintings and drawings by col
ored artists and students of Greater
New York was on exhibition in Brook
lyn in December at the Carlton avenue
branch Y NJ. G. A. The exhibition
was held under the auspices Of the
Mems Social and Business Economy
club of Brooklyn and was the second
annual exhibition arranged by the club.
Thirteen artists and students were
represented on the walls, and a large
number of paintings attested the orig
inality Of each exhibitor as well as the
serious purpose and painstaking care
of all of them. No copies were permit
ted and the work of each exhibitor
was clearly distinguishable by individ-
uality in selection Of type.
Portraits, landscapes, marines, stud
les in pen and Ink and in charcoal.
carlcatureS, costume deSlgnS, etc., were
shown in the collections. many Of them
bringing out expressions of surprise as
well as genuine admiration that there
were men and women of the race who
could achieve such fine results in the
field of art.
Mr.. Richard L. Brown, whose paint
ings made such a favorable impression
among art lovers of New York year
ago and who later exhibited on Fifth
avenue. had three landscapes and a
marine in this exhibition. His pictures
