The First Dead Yankee—Continued.
We left the railroad and com
menced our march after Jackson.
Those belonging to Jackson’s
corps knew how to march. We
found out that wc hadn't taken
the first lesson, for those who had
been with Jackson for some time
would ask, “Boys, are you ped
dling?” Wc ail had knapsacks
and a blanket or two. The 12th
Georgia had been with him some
time. They had no baggage, and
told us we would soon get rid of
all but our cartridge box and gnu
it stayed with Jackson. One
night, alter wc had been march
ing two days, about D o’clock just
such a fuss I never heard before.
A squad of Yankee cavalry
came down the line like a flash.
The road was clear before you
could think, and some of the boys
200 yards from the road. A fel
low came down the road ou a gray
horse, and word came down the
line, “Stop that man on the gray
horse;” but we didn’t stop him.
After awhile the officers began
trying to get the men into line
again and did so, after a long
time. The writer was run over in
the melee. The fence on the right
of tile road looked like a storm
! had swept over it. SMdiers are
Everything that
made a fuss wade them look as if
they were ready to run, although
they did not know which way to
do so. The next day, (26ih of
June, 1SG2.) about 12 o'clock wc
beard cannon firing, and later wc
began to hear small arms; and at 1
5 o'clock we came in sight of a
battery uuliuibered and ready for
action. About the time we got
[opposite the battery boom went

j the shells from the Yankees.
We began to form a line of bat
tie. At this lime I saw a sight.
Soldiers were gathering around
the doctor. You have no idea how
sick a man can get in a little
while. Never having seen men j
get sick so fast. I wondered if an
epidemic had struck the arm}* — |
We went on into the fight. I felt I
a little queer, bill didn't think I
was sick. We rushed on when we j
commenced firing. One of our men J
came near killing James A. Alli-
without chloroform or ether. Four
men would hold a fellow down and
cut otr his leg. Now, I tell you.
when they began sawing the bone,
there was screaming in earnest.—
Nearly all the boys had enough
when we got through this fight —
Water was scarce in this region.
I have seen soldier* drinking wa
ter out of a branch and dead men
ami horses lying in the branch
above. They weie so thirsty they
would drink water if it was part

on the north bank of the Chicka

I ordered Brigadier General
Polk to occupy this hill at once
