AUMOR IN BATTLE


humor which is the heritage of the
sons Of Uncle Sam been as sheet
anchor to them. Danger deadly
enough to make the bravest pause
has lost its terror when ouched
by this saving grace.
Il remember we'll how a timely
little pleasantly in a moment of
deadly peril turned defeat into vic
tory for us at Port Republic. con-
sidered by Stonewall Jackson the
most desperate o. all his desperate
battles" said an old Veteran of the
"Stonewall" brigade of the Con-
federate army.
General Shields line of battle,
composed Of the flower of the I'm
ion troops then in the Shenandoah
valley, stood with its right flank
resting on the Shenandoah river and
is left clutching firmly to the steep
shoulder of the Blue Ridge noun
tains; stood there like the noun
tain ridge itself, not to be moved
not to be ,fanked. High on the
slope above and in front of the left
wing we'll posted battery of eight
powerful field guns poured destruc
ton into the Confederate lines.
"Stonewall" Jackson must have
those guns. Not only was this
necessary to victory, but also to
save himself from complete defeat,
for to attempt to withdraw his men
in the face of that deadly shell fire
meant rout. Already two Georgia
regiments had hurled themselves
ag ainst the battery and then reeled,
rushed to the rear. General Tay-
lor's Texans, veterans of San ia.
cinto in the Mexican war, had
twice stormed up the steep slope to
the TIzzles Of the guns only to
stagger back leaving half of their
officers on the field.
"To US, lying in reserve, in full
view of that bloody mountain side,
there galloped up an aid from
General Jackson.
Charge that battery and take
it," he shouted to our command
ing officers pointing to the brist-
ling guns. General Jackson must
have those guns-he must haYe
them!"
A murmur ran down our line.
None, neither friend or foe ever &C.
cused the Stonewall brigade of be-
ing afraid. But when we looked up
at those grisly guns, yawning, black
mouthed, beneath their smoke cam
opy; when our eyes swept up that
fatal slope, now gray with south
ern dead, we came about as near
fear as ever a soldier wishes.
- "And just then there came from
lank and ragged private in the
front ranks the drawling words:
"Say boys. let's WEALTH. chip
in an buy them air guns for Ole
Jack"
"a roar of laughter rolled riot
ing down the line, swapping the
tension. The commanding officers,
