hMjjtCrywr. j. G. TRUITT
That was an awful day when that Confederate
lion, Stouewall Jackson, crept upon poor Hooker
hiddon in the Wilderness. Leo on one side—
Jaokson on the other, nud the woods around
Chauoellorsville shook aud trembled, and were
almost swept from tho face of tho earth by tho
whirring rouud-shot, tho hissing shell aud the
soroaming grape-shot. Men were struck Htono
dead as the battle a ivanoed or retreated. White
faced recruits aud bronze-faced veterans wore
torn to fragments aud hurled against the living.
Wounded men fell in their tracks to be orushed
the earth by tho great limbs cut from the
trees by shot aud shell. The roar of guns, the
crackle of musketry, the fierce shouts and awful
groaus made such a hell upon earth of that bat-
-field as was uevor seen before nor after.
Fightiug Joe Hooker was in a box, but not a
man in hiB great army drearaod that it was so
until the long gray line of Stouewall Jackson
came ereepiug through tho quiet forest at three
olook on that ever to bo remembered 2d day
May, 18G3. The light earthworks had boeu
thrown up to face another way, towards Lee.
All lines faced Lee, all men were looking for
Lee, when throe divisions of Confederates, mov
ing with soft step, took Hooker's army in the
rear and drove one brigade pell well into and over
another, until veteran soldiers were without
strength or presence of mind. That awful night
when
THE WOUNDED WERE BEING BURIED ALIVE
the woods, and tho dead were thicker than
the leaves just broadening into full life, a re
port ran through the reorganized ranks that the
great Stonewall Jaokson had been killed. Thou
sands belived it, but three of ns, lying side by
side in the new battle line born after night came
down, put no faith in the rumor. Why we did
not is what I started to write about.
Stuart’s cavalry had beeu following up Hook
er’s army, but it was like a rat iollowing in the
footsteps of a horse. Lee was so far away and
coming up so slowly that Hooker had time to
throw np light earth-works, seize the best
ground, fell trees to proteot his Hanks, and
make ready to shatter aud hurl back the expect
ed attack. On that second day of May his sol
diers, hidden in the wookB or lying in the fields,
washed their clothing, wrote letters home, made
comfortuble beds lor themselves, and were not
troubled about what another week would
bring forth. As a deep river suddenly bends to
avoid a bluff, so did that great army of Lee's
bend to avoid tho wilderness. It split in two to
attack at a given hour on both sides, aud Joe
Hooker sat in his tent and congratulated him
self on his impregnable position—considered
impregnable by him when two great highways
ran along the rear of half of his army. So uni
versal was the feelings of security that 60on
after noon three infautrymen started out too
BEO, BUY OR FORAGE FOOD.
Sigel’s corp was on Hooker’s west flank, and
commanded that day by Howard. Part of this
corps faced the old turnpike and plank road
part laced the other way. Most of the men
wore hidden in the woods and behind ridges,
and up the broad highways, whioh should have
beeu first looked to, Stuart was pusUing his
cavalrymen as skirmishers. We three men were
beyoud Sigel's corps, and on tho point of enter
ing a farm house from whioh everybody had
fled, when, less than rifle-shot away, we caught
sight of the Confederate advance. The caval
rymen were advancing slowly, evidently expect
ing to fiud a heavy guard at some poiut, but at
e time we imagiuou that less than a regiment
of Stuart's men wero feeling along up to
pick up stragglers, locate positions, etc. We,
at least, did not fear them, aud the proposition
to enter the house and secure a better view of
the roads speedily conveyed us to a chamber
window. We could see but little more irotn the
post, but we did see, soou after reaching it,

He had come out there to make observations,
Like a cat, before she destroys the mouse, he
was wondering at what poiut he should strike
to disable his victim soonest.
Grim-miuded aud sour-tempered was the
thiid man of us, aud war’s horrors delighted
him. Wheu he had taken the second look at
the little party sitting on their horses in the
open road, a wioked smile crossed his face, and
he whispered:
'By the hundred gods of the heatheu ! but
that chap on the left is old Stonewall Jaokson,
and I’m going to drop him 1”

saw him, in at least a half dozen instances,
shoot down videtts or skirmishers who seemed
to be half a mile away, and he was known
throughout the regiment as a dead shot.
There was considerable firing around us from
foragers, stragglers and men cleaning their guns,
and a shot from the window might not attract
particular attention. Resting the heavy gun
across the window sill, nnd having as steady
rest as a hunter ever asked lor, “Old Pete” was
ready to koep his word.
IT SEEMED LIKE COLD-BLOODED ASSASSINATION
I could almost count the buttons on Jackson'
coat, and there seemed no escape for him.
was watching him when the rifle oraoked. He
had a field-glass to his eye, and the only move
ment we could see was a quick motion of the
head, as if the bullet had cat olose to his ear.
The giaas was not even lowered. “Old Pete'
swore a terrible long string of oaths as he real
ized his failure, but in a minute was ready
again.
'I hope never to draw another breath if
don't kill him stone dead !” he mattered as
knelt down. Jackson did not face us ns before,
yet was a good mark even for a musket,
watched him as before, this time the bullet must
have swept past his face, as he dodged his head
baokwards. The glass was down then but
raised it in an instant and went on with his
survey.
Have I got to be a fool ? or have I grown
blind?” bowled “Old Pete,” as he looked down
npon his unharmed victim. “I’ll kill him this
time, or shoot myself in this ohamber ?”
It was dangerous to remain there longer as
the cavalry had orept nearer, and Jackson’s
aides seemed to have got the idea that a sharp
shooter was posted near by. Yet “Old Pete”
would have had a third shot if the Confederates
had been in the house.
THE TARGET WAS A8 FAIR AS BEFORE.
He took a more careful aim, and yet when he
fired he saw splinters fly from a railway over
beyond the general. The cavalry were then olose
upon us, and our two muskets were lost in the
harried flight from the house. Half au hour
after that, Jaoksou was driving our biigado and
divisions as he willed.
“I'll measnre off the same distance, shoot off
hand, and bet my life that I can hit a soldier’s
cap nine times out of ten !” growel “.Old Pete”
as he hurried forward, and suddenly overcome
by indignation and ohagrin he battered his cher
