THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
A Memory OF Pickett's Brigade and
Night Attack.

Some years after the civil war
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at
banquet given By the board of trade
of New York. writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Picket. in Lippincott's.
The presiding officer was Colonel
j. ]. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause OF It's startling horrors, but
because Of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
inc, as it were, of a higher COM
mand than that of earth.
''The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived. and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
silence. that always settles over
everything before fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound Of deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void like the pillows of a great sea,
directly in line with ourSguns. 1t
was. singing the old hymn, Jesus,
Lover Of My Soul
81 have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified It's impressive
ness, but pever}had it seemed so
solemn asswhen it broke the still
ness in which we waited for the or
der to fire. dust as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
''Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow OF thy wing
1,eady! Aiml Fire to the
left. boysl' 1 said.
"The guns were shifted, the vol
ley that 1blazed out GTsrved aside,
and that defenseless head was Cow
ered' with the shadow of his wing"
A Federal veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and
said:
81 remember. that night, colonel,
and that midnight attack which
carried of so many of my comrades.
I was the singer"
There was a second of silence.
Then "Jesus, Lover of My Sou" !"
rang across that banquet board as
on that black night in 1864 it had
rung across the lines at Bermuda
Hundred.

ceived information, it was announced to-
day, that members of the Russian cabi-
net have decided, after conference III

construction of 10000 miles of railroads
in Russia within five years. The RUS
sian ministers of agriculture, industry.
commerce, finance and war participated
in the conference. according to this in
formation.
report was presented by promi-
nent Russian engineer asserting that
after the war Russia must plan for a
system: of railroads to link together all
localities possessing potential neutral
wealth and that these new lines should
lie connected with the trunk lines in
order to develop her mineral and mining

TENS since the beginning of the war.
