I suppose you have not forgot-

•date that we were in camps near
Richmond, enjoying a little rest
vftcr passing through seven disa
greeable days of fighting, which
ra* decidedly the hardest ami
most disagreeable business a man-
ever experienced.
Here we enjoyed a rest, but not
much health, and a great many

bowel trouble, caused, I think,
from using the water, which some
thought had lime in it.
As wre could hear of no fighting
we began to think the enemy had
left with the most of their forces,
and that Stonewall Jackson had
made his way up in tiie valleys
-again. We remained in camps
luring July and August, and en
joyed ourselves belter than my
readers may imagine we did un

here Our army then marched
through Winchester and Staunton
rll down near Fredericksburg,
going into winter quarters. The
army suffered terribly on this
march, some having to march over
the frozen earth bare footed, almost
without clothes, and on short ra
lions. Wc hail short rations all
the timeon the Maryland march.
1 stayed at Winchester 10 or 15
days, and was then carried to
Staunton in an ambulance, distant
02 miles. When we camped I had
lo get out the best I could,
couldn't walk, but had to crawl
wherever I went. Wc got there

to this place, I managed to get on
them about the third day and went
to Richmond. On mv arrival 1
ion and marched in the direction
of Chancelloraville. We made a
forced march, and a great many
soldiers fainted on the road lie-
fore we halted. This looked like
it meant business, and so it did.
Our brigade marched into a skirt
of woods and formed in iine of
battle, and a batallion of skir
mishers were sent out in front,
while we were halted to rest. We
soon got orders to advance, bnt
did nut go iiut a short distance
before wc surprised the enemy’s
pickets and drove them in We
went on and came to their line of
battle, which was supported by 6
or 8 pieces of artillery. We whip

We run them about half a mile
and halted. We came upon their

his name was Ely Mackey. About
I o'clock a cloud came up and we
had a very hard rain, which pre
vented Lee from making a general
attack on the enemy*. I was proud
that rain came, for the enemy had
lieen steadily at work all day on
their breaslwoiks, and worked
nearly all night. We were wet

have any fire, but the night passed
off tolerably quiet. Next mora nc

If Gen. Lee had fought them in

ners. We then retreated towards
Sharpsburg, marching nearly all
night, hut stopping awhile before
day to get a little sleep. Next
morning we continued the retreat
to Sharpsburg and formed in line
of battle, hut did not remain long,
as Colquitt's brigade was march
ed down to the Potomac and re-
retreat, but he could not beat Lee
retreating that night. He brought
the lines of battle out side by side
aud marched them down to the
river ready to cross the next morn
ing, although some crossed duriug
the night. Seeing the army cross
ing the river on the 19th, I was
ordered to make my way to Win
chester the best I could, and start
ed on foot to walk there, it being
28 or 30 miles. I asked many to
let me ride, but did not get to ride
but little the first day. It took
my best to get along for my wound
was very sore. The second day a
wagoner asked me to ride, and I
rode something over half way, and
was mighty thankful, I got there
about dark, and went in a hospi
tal and piled down on the floor to
rest and sleep, but didn't sleep
much.
I will now tell you whit Jack-
son done at the river: After our
mained all day aad night. Sep- army had crossed the river, he fix-
bed instead of the floor to sleep on,
and somelhiug to eat I can relish,
and loved ones to enjoy myself
with, for I can assure you there
was no enjoyment in a hospital.
I remained at home 40 days,
and my wound did not get well,
but I was able lo go where I pleas
ed and enjoyed myself line; but
my mind was often roving and
lighting with the boys in old Vir
ginia. When fighting I was
dreaming, and wc invariably got
whipped. After the forty days
were out myself and a friend went
up to Maeon, were examined, and
they gave us an extension, some
thing in the order of a detail, and
you may bet we were two proud
soldiers as we went back home.
I remained at home until the
last of January. '63, and then re
ceived orders to go back to my
company. The young man who
went to Macon with me did not
go back when I did, hut stayed at
home one month longer and got
married. He was in big luck. I
could have stayed longer, but do
not know whether I could have
married or not. I was not long
going back as the cars run very
tast, and found the command near
Fredericksburg in winter quarters.
They were doing very well, and
enjoying life well to b« in thc war.
I was proud to see them, and tbey
stiil prouder lo see me, for I was
from borne. Soldiers were always
glad to see some one from home,
as they brought them news from
loved ones.
There wa* no fighting, thc ene
my being on ths north side of the
Rappahannock river, and our ar
my on the south side. We had
some cold weather and one large
snow, and we enjoyed it fine. Tiie
second day after the snow, Dole’s
brigade attacked two regiments of
Colquitt's brigade for a snow fight,
and drove us back. The 6lh Ga.
formed in line and tried to cut off
Dole's brigade, but as soon as they
saw them flanking they retreated,
and we drove them to their camps
when they were reinforced and
dered to charge, and did so with
a yell, the yankees leaving as soon
•s they beard the yell. We run
them about half a mile and were
stopped, the fight ceasing nearly
all along the line except sharp
shooting. The wuods caught on
fire, and burning rapidly burnt up
a good many wounded yankees.
It was horrible to listen at their
cries while burning. 1 heard some
one say that tbey saw the brains
burning in a man's head. The
fighting having eeased awhile, we
inarched out on the plank road
where thc enemy had a line drawn
up behind breastworks, and about
two hundred yards in their rear
they had a battery wilh a great
many guns. Our men charged
and routed them, but lost a great
many men—the enemy did not
lose many at this place. There
was a piece of woods here, and it
was torn ail lip with shot and
shell, trees cut down and limbs
torn off, being a sight to look at.
I don’t see how any escaped death.
We drew rations, and cooked and
eat dinner here, having little idea
tiie yankees were near, but it was
not long before the pickets began
firing and we had to form in line
and move off. We went down thc
road and stood there awhile aud
then moved down a mile further
and camped. We were not allow
ed to have any fire, but the night
passed quietly.
Next morning we moved a short
distance, formed a line of battle
and our batallion of skirmishers
was deployed out on the front line.
About 10 o'clock Gen. Lee opened
tire on the enemy with all his ar
tillery, and I don’t think I ever
heard such cannonading before.—
Our pickets were like lizards, ly
ing as flat on the ground as we
could get, and all would have felt
a great deal more pleasant to have
been a hundred miles from there.
After the shelling ceased., our line
was ordered to advance. We went
about 100 yards and came in con
tact with the enemy and had a
little skirmish fight. We lost one
torturing pains. I was treated
by several physicians, and was
dosed on iodide of potassium
abundantly. This treatment in
creased my trouble. My blood
>vas thoroughly infected; my skin
was thick and yellow; my stomach
was weak so that I could not re
tain my food; my person was lin
en out with sores which became
offensive ulcers, and my strength
was gone. Mercury brought on
rheumatism, and potash had ruin
ed iny stomach, and I thought
there was nothing left for me lo
do hut to (iic—so thought many
of iny friends as I went hobbliii
along the street. I tried all the
remedies within reach, hut to no
avail. At last a friend suggested
tiie use of Swift’s Specific. Like
many other drowning men, 1 was
ready to catch at any straw that
came in sight. I procured six
bottles from Dr. Long. The first
bottle gave me hope. The nausea
of the stomach disappeared, and
by the time I had taken the third
the hard lumps on my neck w ent
away;the ulcers were healed; my
complexion cleared up. my skin
smoothed off. and my strength
began to return. I have taken in
ail about thirty bottles. It has
made a new man of me. 1 am a
man of 63 years, but am strong
and vigorous, eat anything and
do any kind of work. I am sound
and well. It is my honest opinion
that Swift's Specific has taken me
from thc grave’s mouth ami ad
ded many years to my life. 1
would recommend it to suffering'
humanity everywhere, not as a
universal p-inacea for all diseases,
hut as a specific for all blood and
skin diseases, such as blond poi
son. rheumatism.scrofula, eczema,
tetter and catarrh, for I have seen
it tried on most all of these. I am
ready and more than willing to
answer all inquiries tending thc
above points. I am well known
in Athens, and refer to anyone or
all of the old citizens of this city.

I have been afflicted with a
blood humor and indigestion for
fifteen years. I have used various
medicines, but with- little pur
pose. I have received more ben
efit from Swift's Specific (S. S. S.)
than anything else I have ever
taken. It is thc best blood puri
fier on the mat kel.

Editorf Enterprise Jb Appml:
Perhaps many of your reader#
are strangers to our little village,
if so I will give them some idea
of it. It is situated os Ui»Dsw-
son and Lumpkin road lithe woo*
'em portion of Webster Ofunty.
Its inhabitants consist of 12 or IS
of the nicest, cleverest and .most
genial families of people V*
found anywhere. We have two
churches, Methodist and Baplish
>f which tiie most of our citizen®
ire members, W e have two thrif-
■ v mercantile establishments, Mr.
1. F. Saunders, Weston's old and
reliable merchant, and the Tracy
Bro's, (young in years but loud
is merchant*). We have a neat
drug store, the proprietor of which
is Dr. N. C. Alston. Jr. We also
have three more M. D's, yet wo
would not have you think it is at
all sickly around Weston. It is
noted for health. We have on«
blacksmith and wood shop, run
by J. M. Duncau, formerly of your
county, and wc can say tor him
that he is fully up to the require
ments of the day, and we are ex
pecting every Sabbath morning
when some one will have to ra-
tnind Mr. Duncan that this is the
Lord's day. And now dear read
ers, the last, but not thc least of
our enterprises is our seliooL
Weston and the entire vicinity is
proud of it. lu the first place ik
has more pupils than was expect
ed, ami none have asglit to say
against our teachers. Thomas A.
Coleman and W. 11. Moye, both
well known by most of your read
ers, anil the more wc sec of them
•.he better we like them. I say,
and wc all say, hurrah for our
school and its teachers. And
gentlemen and ladies one and all
of yon who wish your sons and
daughters placed in the right soit
of a school, under the right sort
of instiuetors, surrounded by the
right sort of influences, send them
here. They can get board in
good laniilies cheap—but we will
not promise to give them any eggs
to eat. lbr we verily believe from

A Colonel, tbroii-h the morning gray.
Was rushing up and down the street,
And in his hand a written sheet—
, “Postoffiee.”
His legs not tong but rather thick,
\nd still his step was wondrous quick;
lie grasped your hand so free bo mild,
And ever on his features smiled—
“Poetoffice.”
He labored bard the page to fill
With ‘'Tom” and “Jim" and “Jack”
and “Jilt,”
But on the top was written plain’
“Petition,” and the other name—
“Postoffiee.”
By noon ’twas signed by many score p
i'iien fondly did he look it o'er,.
And as he rushed from door to*loor,
lie shouted louder than before—
“Postoffiee.”
