History cannot go into minor de
tails, hence individuality is lott in
the rash of greater events, and only
a battle or some favored General
is mentioned, while Ute private sol
dier and non-commissioned officer
is treated by Ihe historian as ma
chines which are wound np by the
hands of their officers to run as they
dictate. I shall endeavor to por
tray individual merit, camp scenes,
the march and' bivouno as near nf
possible to their actual
rence.
Daring tho year 1861, boys end
old men were alike eager to show
their devotion by enlisting in the
armies of the South. Mauy looked
upon it os a holiday feast, that
would lost but a short time, and all
wonltl return heroes.
Those‘doing duty npon tbo coast
of So. Carolina, Georgia and Flori
da during the early period know
nothing whatever of war's realities,
and when orders came for onr com
mand to proceed to Richmond,
cheers went forth from mauy lips
that are now lyiog cold and still en
somo distant battlefield; many clasp
ed tho bauds uf mothers who have
watched and waited for tbe sound
of foolsteps that shall gladden them
no mure.
Upon onr arrival at Richmond,
we were taken to the barracks, anil
the next morning were ordered to
proceed to Malvern Hill. Before
leaving, wo wevo told to deposit nil
surplus baggage in a certain ware
house until we should require its
use. I distinctly remember tbe
you, old fellow; I can’t let them
catch me," and on be started after
the army. Strange to say, he hod
not proceeded more than' a few
miles, to a branch, where, stopping
to rest and refresh himself with wa
ter, totally nnoonseions of danger,
when aroand the bend of the road
appeared a detachment of Federal
cavalry. It would have made a sick
man laugh to have seen T. Tbe of
ficer in command demanded,
"What command do you belong
to?”
“(Ten. B.’s company,” answered
T.,
“Gen. B.’s company ?” inquired
the offiuer; “ who iu b—1 ever heard
of a General commaudiug a compa
ny 1”
“Upon my word and honor ns a
gentleman, Mr. Yankee, I swear he’s
onr General.”
•Yon mean Captain, don’t yon ?”
Tits, sir; yes, sir; onr Captain—
that’s It, Mr. Yankee.”
"Well, you are my prisoner; oome
along with us.”
“I can’t, Mr. Yankee, I can’t; my
feet’s worn ont, my bead aches, I’ve
got a pain in my chest, and we’re all
got the mumps ”
Well, Johnny Reb, if yon are
that bad off, I will have to parole
you.”
"No. sir, I can’t enroll in your
army; I belong to the Confederate
army, and hitvn’t got any horse;
and how oould my wife bear from
me if I was in your army ?”
After soma farther explanation,
T. was mnde to understand what
was required, was paroled and al
lowed to proceed, bat mouths
elnpsed before ho got over the fright
occasioned by tbe sight of the first
Yttnkoo.

That soltlit-r’s portnblo house of

About seven miles from Richmond
we c-nme upon the first (to us) signs
of Ihe terrible strugglo of a few days
before. Trees wore riddled with
bullets, and a queer epieimen of hu
manity belonging to our command,
lifter looking around and seeing ev
ery tree was struck by many ballsy
remarked in his habitual drawling
touo, "Well, boys, here’s whero our
mon commenced learning how to
shoot, 'causo if there had been tny
Yankees aroand about they would
have to go to work making more,
’cause they would u’t last long, if
they had been about here.” "Yes,
answered Joe, "there’s ballets
enough in them trees to kill the
nathun out.”
We marched only about two
miles, when we camped for the
night. Scarcely any of ns slept,
though very much fatigued, as the
stench from the dead horses and
lialf-buried men was too much for
many of oar green stomachs.
Having joinod our main command
next day, and McClellan having
abandoned Malvern Hill, we retrac
ed our steps towards the subsequent
wtU field of Cedar Mountain.—
Many of us became sick, as is tbe
case with all new troops. I remem
ber very well bowl tried to keepup,
with a burning fever, and, at last,
was compelled to lay down In a clo
ver field, and saw tbe ‘boys march
on and leave me, in care of a com
rade who was himself scarcely able
to walk. He did not remain long
with me, before some stragglers
came along hurriedly, and told us
to get out of tho way, as the ene
my’s cavalry was following np onr
army, capturing tbe stragglers. My
friend, who eras very excitable,
lamped up, and, easting a pitying
look upon me, said, "I most leave
sickened and was about to die. Find
ing herself nearing tbe end, she ex
pressed a desire to put things iu order
before thnt event occurred, and old
Tom prepared to listen.
“Tom,” said Mrs Mulcshy, "there’s

owes mo 81.80 for butter; see ye git

"Siusilile to the lost, my dear; ain-

Than there’s Mrs. Jones at the
crcok, she owes me 81.60 for ohiek-

“And Mrs. Brown, in the village,
sho owes me 82.80 for milk.”
“D’ye bear that? Biarible to tbs

“Yia.”
“And Mna Boborta^ at the toll gate,

“Ah! poor dear I poor dear I” broke
in old Tom hastily; "how. her moind

Tbe Teaches** Overcoat.
Tbe Boston Commonwealth relates
this school anecdote: “Fraud* Card-
ncr, tbo Uta bead master of tbe Boa*
ton Latin school, was noted Tor hi*
economy of wearing apparel, upon
which be prided himself, and fre
quently lectured the beys on the folly
of extravagance in that direction. One
day be came into the recitation room
of* lower class, his well womover-
cosi flapping at his heels, as u?nal.—
The lads; all ot whom hod just reached
their teens, looked up from tbeir
books to see what was coming; ‘D’ye
this Coatr said the old teacher,
stroking the stswres of tbe venerable
garment approvingly, and ghnring
over his Should** foe rear effect;,
■how many of yon, boy» out say you
have worn a cost for forty yeare osl
have thia ?’ There was a general laugh
in which the Doctor joined, when a
moment later ft dawned npon him that
bis coat mast hare seen the tight a
quarter of a century before any of the
boys were born.”
Small Farms.
The division of any State or region
into small farms presages prosperity
to that region. Once in a while in any
oountry an owner ot n very larg tract
of land may be found who is a suc
cessful cultivator of it, but they arena
the merchant princes who handle mill,
iona of money in one Une o( business
and do it successfully. In tho Sonth
under the slave regime, snclt a tiling
could be done with much better suc
cess than now, for thou a planter might
be absolutely “monarch of oil he sur
veyed” an absolute autocrat. So far
as the accomplishment of labor was
concerned, farming on a large scale
was then suooewfnl—as the look ot real
success was not strictly the result ot
slave labor, it need not bo diamssed
here—bnt all who have tried plantiug
on a large scale slnoe the war, lutvu
found it a failure. Indeed the tmtlt
mast be sooner or later learned by
our people that the South can not pros
per as a “planting,” bat a farming
ono.
Rooent returns show that tho
practice of cigarette smoking has of
late years increased enormously in
Franca Cigarettes were first made
in the French Government manu
factories in 1848. In 1869 enough
tobacco was used to make 11,000,-
000 cigarette*, and the manufacture
was confined to one establishment,
that at Gros-Caillon. At the pres
ent time cigarettes ore made at seven
manufactories in Paris; Bordeaux,
Marseille, Morlaix, Nancy, Nantes,
and Toulouse, and 2,000 workmen
are employed in their fabrication.
Altogether, there aira eighteen man
ufactories of tobacco in France, 857
depot*, and 40,210 licensed shops
for its sale. The receipts lust year
amounted to 800,000,000 frnnees,
Paris olono spending 42,000,000
francos in this kind of smoking.
An iron mountain, ten thousand
five hundred feet high, and rivalling
the famous iron mountain of Mis
souri, has been discovered iu Colfax
county, New Mexico. The ore is -
almost entirely- pure iron, and in
connection with the immense quan
tities of cool found in Colfuxcouuty
this huge deposit of iron ore must
at do distant day become tbe aourco
of indnatriee which will gather and f
support a large and thriving popu-
Utioii.
