To be guilty of bearing false
testimony, thereby imperiling the

Struck the light flank of the feder

the confederate left. Gordon’s
charge was so quick and resistless
the whole federal
known as “the battle ol Spoltsyl-
vania C. II.” lt was the occasion
up-in which General Hancock bad
in the mist and darkness of the
morning, stormed onr works be
fore daylight, capturing General
Edward Johnson and his whole
division. It was here that General
Lee rode to the front of General
Gordon’s line just as lie was
about to lead it to the des|icrate
assault upon Hancock's vieto
rious columns. General Lee
seemed determined to lead Gor
don’s charge, to drive Hancock or
faU in the effort, for U|Min the suc
cess of the movement dc|iended
the fate of onr arm}-. Gordon
spurred his horse to Lee’s side
and said loud enough to be bard
by the men:
“General Lee, this is no place
for you. These men have never
failed you; they will not fail you
here. You must go to the rear.”
With this the men shouted:
“General Lee to the rear.” “Gen
eral Lee to the rear.”
Still he would not retire until
General Gordon seized his horse’s
bridle and ordered the tnentocar-
ry him to the rear. With this
General Gordon, as was his cus
tom on these occasions ofcxlictne
peril, addressed his men with a
few thrilling sentences, placed
himself in the front with the “stars
and bars” in Ins band. Then
witb a voice which none of us
who were with him can ever for
get the familiar “forward” came.
With a shout in answer, that
meant victory, these splendid
brigades rushed at Hancock's
corps, driving them back llirongli
brush and fields and recovering
the lines as far as Gordon's coin
mand could reach, it was on
this field that General Lee an
nounced to General Gordon that
lie was a major general from that
day. It was this great victory
that led that brave soldier end
brillant man. Captain Robert

General Gordon in verse ami song
as “The man of the 12iliof May.”

IN THE FIGIIT AT SHARPSIU UO.
The next day or the (lay alter i
was the great battle of Sharps-
htirg. Into the hottest of llic
figkt was Gordon again. Without
any supports, hc hurled hack and
shattered at least four lines of the
enemy, his men falling around;
him like wheat before the liarves
als and clearing the confederate
front. This was on the 5lh.
Hc fought another great battle
with still more brilliant results
the next day the Clh of May. Late
iu the eveuing he was permitted
to make the movement which he
desired to make early in the
morning. He threw his command
across Grant's extreme right flank
and assailed it with such a furious
. ,, , charge that lie broke to pieces the

brilliant, so much like Jackson’s
shoulder lie insisted on remaining
at his post; and called -his adju
tant and gent him along the lines
to reassure his men, who knew
that hc hail been desperately
wounded, and directed his adju
tant to tell the men that lie would
not leave, and to ask them to
hold their ground. At last he was
shot by a fifth ball in the face,
and fell senseless, and apparently
lifeless, literally drenched in his
own blood. It was this heroism,
devotion, selfsacrifice of Gordon,
never surpassed in his history or
romance, that so impressed Gen
eral D. II. Hill, who was bis su
[M.-rior officer, that he character
Uc'l Goi Jon :n his official rcjsiit
that lie was at once called “The
Young Stonewall.”
His next battle was four days
later, on the lOlli of May. when
the enemy had carried the confed
erate works by storm atone point
near Spottsylvania. C. H. Gordon,
by a bold countcr-cbargc, drove
back the elated federals and recap
tured the works and restored our
lines.
THETH-EHTH OF MAT.

won the battles “of the 12lh of

tbe leaf of one day out of bis

The people who live in the low

think I shall like her. She was
telling roc last night bow it was
she came to marry her husband.
The servant girl ol the people
who live in tbe flat below hasn't
the sense she was born with. She
told our girl that we were to have
Tuesday for wash day. Monday
has always been our day, and
shall he until I die.
8:30 a. ni. —Have just told our

it out.
9:30—The girl in the flat below

she can't get our washing out

1 p. m.—Our girl is down in

The following recently appear*
ed in tbe Boston Traveler:
“One of the most wonderful men
in Georgia is Senator *331''
Brown. There are still hundred*
who remember him aa a bate butt
ed boy, bis bickonr shirt plainly
visible through a rent in his troas
ers, plowing with n bulltongue
and n mule on bis fathers moun
tain clearing.
“Joe’s” father was a disciplina
rian. When “Joe” was about ton
years old his father would band
him his long squirrel rifle, a herb
of powder and twelve bullets.
“Joe,” lie would say, “go and got
twelve squirrels, and remembrr,
if every one is not shot through
tbe bead you'll get a licking.
Little Joe would sally forth,
and never failed to bring a squir
rel for every bullet, ai d every
squirrel with a bole through the
bead. To day Joe Brown is con
sidered the ablest lawyer, the
shrewdest financier, tbe most can
ning railroad manager, the most
astute politician and Lie most pi
ous Christian in Georgia, lie
made a good Governor, and able
judge, and as United States Sen
ator ia not by any meant below
tlie standard.
Several years ago he added to
his reputation by proving liiiasell
a good fighter. Tlie State desired
to lease the Western and Atlantic
railroad, which the owns. Bills
were asked for and Joe Brown's
bid was accepted. The unsuc
cessful bidders were indignant,
and claimed that Brown’s bid
was #8,000 less than the biglH-st
made.
They accordingly employed Bob
Toombs to examine into the mat
ter. Toombs went to Atlanta,
made an investigation and than
published a eard, saying that J«e
Brown had obtained the lease
through bribery. Brown immedi
ately came out with a card, say
ing that Bob Toombs was “a liar,
a coward and a scoundrel.”
Toombs sent a friend to Brown
to know if bis (Brown’s) religion:,
scruples would prevent him from
accepting a challenge. Brown
auswered in tlie negative and sent
(nr a second. Toombs' friend re
turned with a challenge, asking
Brown to name the weapon*.
“Squirrel rifles,” said Brown'cooly,
with a significant smile.
That was tlie last heard from
Toombs and iu a few days be re
turned homo. His friends bail
probably told him of .Brown's
marvelous shooting as a boy.”
The above story bas a very
slender foundation for truthful
ness. Senator Brown and Gen.
Toombs were once engaged in a
personal quarrel and a challenge
was passed; but the quarrel was
not about the State road; as the
terms of the lease were fixed' by
the Lcgisl:ilure-25,000 per month.
Gen. Toombs was bitter in hi*
denunciations of Senator Browu,
and the latter became angry at
the continual onslaught and the
challenge was soon sent. The
squirrel rifle business is ol course
all stuff and nonsense.

A thoughtful exchange suggests
that as “the battlefields of tlie war
are favorite places for sightseeing,
and hundreds of |ieople go to
Gettysburg these bright June
Sundays, some day, |ieriia|>s. a
man will build a fence around a
battlefield and charge admission,
and then tbe law will aay it’s a
wicked and sinful show.” A good
many of the battlefields ol the
late war have already been convert
ed into corn and cotton fields, and
the plowshare lias often exposed
the bones of tbe victims of the
sword. There seems to lie no
danger of tlie patriotic show liusi
ness springing tip, however, unless
it is iu the neighborhood ofGeliys

“Is Miss Jones in?” asked
young man of tbe servant at
front door.
“No, salt; she am not.’^iras
positive reply.
“Go and see,” lie commanded.
“When I called last.you told me
she was not in and she came down
herself and contradicted you.”
“She am not in now, sab; Use
sho’ she liain’t.”
“How do you know?”
“She seen you cornin’ in do
front gate, sail, an' she told me
herself dat she wasn't in. I liain’t
making no mistake dis time, sab,

“War is a terrible thing. Tin-
first tight I was in was the battle
of Sliilob. 1 tell you, boys, mv
heart was in my mouth when tii«
rebels commenced firing on ns.”
said old Tommy Hayfield to visi
ting neighbors.
“Yon were a coward, Toni.” re
marked Mrs. Hayfield. “It would
dnuhtlesa have frightened me if I
had lieen a soldier in that battle;
lint it wouldn’t have seared m*
till my heart jumped into my
month.”
“Oh, I don’t doubt it,” retorted
tlie old man. “You area woman,
and a woman never lets her bean
get in her mouth.”
“Humph!” ejaculated the old
lady, “I suppose you think that
the reason a woman nrrrr get*
her heart in her mouth is because
she hasn't any heart?”
“No, my dear,” replied the nh|
warrior, between whiffs of tobac
co smoke, “It’s because if her
heart was in her, mouth aim
couldn’t talk.”
A small imy was detected by it
stingy farmer in one of bis ch'-r
ry trees. The farmer made the-
boy come down, and lectured him
severely on the sinfulness of steal
ing. Tlie boy answered indig
nantly: “Notr, Just count them
cherries over again an«l sc® if
there is one of ’em missing liefore.
you insinuate that I took it.”
T«o persons came to a clergy
man to have a dispute sslUrit.
Each Mieved the other to ho in

them all through, be settled it in
this way: “Let the innocent fur-,
