First, I thought of the good wife snd little ones, still sweetly sleeping, (Hr it was siil quite early,) not dreaming of dun g«r <o themselves or to me, Next, perhaps, I thought of a cold, 'lrea ry Yankee priso”, and how often I Lad warned my men ot the dot ger in lagging behind ou tin march and the horrors of lying in glooaiy Northern prisons. How often had I declared m the most emphatic way that I would never be carried to one ; that l wonlo ake my chances of a round of for tv shots at forty paces, first, and now my time had some! a time to verify thebe bold assertions.
