When Hooker swung his army around
to Chancellorsville, he w;is in the
edge of oi |i,„, that dark il.uk and and silent silent forest i nest
which extends from that point to Mine

which is nenetrated here and there bv

retreat for the wild cat, the owl, the
serpent and the fox. It is a lonely
ride along the best travelled highway
in time of peace. The hoot of the owl
is heard from the dark thickets at
noonday, and the deadly dust moccasstn

crosses the highway to plunge into a
more denser swamp. There is not a
