At first the balls went w ide*of the position I occupied, and men tell at a distance, but gradually the j strife grew nearer and more near, till at j length the balls began to sing around us, and the heavy smoke rolled up to envelop us in its sulphurous folds. Now the roar of cannon, the rattle of musketry, the shouts, shrieks, and groans of the combatants made a horrid din in the ears of one w ho, with nothing to do, wished himself a thousand miles from * that place. Why were we kept idle to be she t at like so many dumb targets ?

His lips opened for a reply, but none ever came. A canDon ball passed through his breast, and he fell over against me, his life blood staining my garments. I uttered an in voluntary cry of horror, and clung to my sad dle, with everything swimming around me. While thus I sat, sick, faint, and dizzy. I have a dim recollection of seeing an officer dash up to the commander of our troop, and a dim consciousness that he said something in a loud, hurried tone. Then I remember hear ing the words : “We must take yonder battery ! Let every man do his duty.
