On the 29th of August, 1862, T was in the Union army, and the regiment to which I belonged was deployed as skirmishers in front of Longstreet's (Confederate) corps, not far from Gainesville, Va. During the day ‘there was 'some desultory firing on the part of the opposing forces, but no sustained engagement, although we continued to press upon the enemy until darkness settled down and put an end to further maneuvers. At nightfall T, with four or five companies of my command, remained in the position occupied during the day, while the rest of the regiment, detailed far picket duty, advanced some distance to the front. . I'was in excellont_health and_spir- its, but being greatly fatigued, fell asleep almost immediately after the arrgngements for the night had been perfectod, and soon began to dream. For some copsiderable time. m mind wandered fover events or dwelt upon soenes whigh were familiar, and which, upon awakening, T found no difficulty 1n locating. After a while, however, T wandered into a dreamland where all scemed strange. T fancied myself lying in a line of battle with my comrades in a piece of timber fringing an open field of some considerable extent, the far- ther side of which sloped gently up- ward, forming a ridge parallel to our front. Upon this ridge I could plainly distinguish something like a dozen cannon, and could see the Oonfederate artillerymen resting upon the earth or lounging in littld groups about their guns, a8 distinctly as I could have done with my natural vision, T could also percieve the puffs of smoke from the rifles of the enemy’s sharpshooters, and hear the reports of their fire-arms, and the ping and thud of the bullets. I might here mention, as a further deseription of the field, that the wood in which we lay was quite clear of underbrush; that we oc- cupied the edge nearest the foe, with rail fence between usand the cleared [ of which I havespoken, and that this fence some 300 yards, more or less, to our right, turned off at aright angle and ran quite up to the confed- orate lines. As was the case where we lay, 80 it was on our right. The fence separated the cleared field from the tinanber,‘ which llum uoautituwd two sides of a parallglogram, the angle being, us already observed, not far from the right wing of my regiment. While I was taking in these details, and experiencing meanwhile the pe- culiar sensations which sometimes an- noy even old campaigners when com- pelled to remain inactvie under a ropping fire, I thought an order came for us to charge the batteries be- fore us, The regiment arose, formed a line, started out from the timber, and in- stautanecusly the guns upon the heights beyond opened fire. As we tuwd on Isaw men fall as though illed or wounded, and heard all the various sounds and din of battle- About midway the field, running parallel with our line, T noticed a de- pression commonly called by farmers a ““dead furrow’ it being the *finish- ing-off ' place in a ploughed field, We passed over this and continued our uhu*e across the open space and uj the slope almost to the \‘er‘y x_nuzzlu‘: of the cangne- by seores at gvery step—and then, at once, we geemed to be enveloped in an almost impenetrable darkness, My senses were loft blank. The next moment however, light returned, and 1 was lying upon the ground, fighting #till going on about me, but whetber wounded or not, my dream, or what- ever it was, did not inform me. While thus helploss and prostrate, 1 gaved about me and saw, a short dis tance in the rear of the guns, a small eabin, and in its gable, which was to- ward me, a window. About the building were grouped many wounded men, some standing, others lying down. In the immed iate vicinity of myself there seemed to be hundreds who had fallen in the contest A Casting my eyes in the direction from whence we had come, 1 beheld the remnants of my command in full retreat. I also noticed the sun, which was shining brightly, and ap- peared to be in the vicinity ofan hour above setting. At this point T was awakened from slumber, and learned the time to be about 2 p. m. of August 29. Having my dream as T considered it, in mind, 1 made inquiries an rtained that during my nap everything had re- mained unusually quict, only a few shots having been exchanged on the picket line, An hour afterward we were on the march for Manassas and the battle field of Groveton, I must confess that the realistic character of my excogitations during sleep affected me considerably; and all the more because the scenery de- picted was altogether strange. My memory, though questioned to the ut- termost, failed to recall any locality through which I had ever passed at all resembling it. Consequently I felt unusually gloomy and depressed in spirits, and all the morning carried in my heart a presentiment, the nature of which can scarcely be described, of approaching evil. e old battle-field of Bull Run was reached carly in the forenoon, and about 12 m. we were advanced a mile or 8o to the nortward, where we were assigned our position in the line of battle then forming, The station occupied by my regi- ment happened to be in a piece of timber skirting an open field, which terminated ab the distance of some 500 or 600 yards in front of usin a ridge crowned with several confeder- ate batteries, the guns in plain sight, The enemy's sharpshooters lay in front of their artillery, concealed from view, but the puffs of smoke from their muskets sufficiently indicated their locality, and disclosed the fact that our opposite lines were parallel. On our left the country was open, but in the opposite direction, begin- ning at a distance of some 300 yards from our riyht, the timber extended up toand boyond the ridge already described. The excitement consequent upon the fighting going on about me and the skirmish firing drove my dream tem- porarily out of mind, although its im- pressions were allowed to remain, About b o'clock in the afternoon, as I should judge, we were ordered to charge the position in our front; and the various regiments of the brigade, my own occupying the second place from the left, advanced to the danger- ous undertaking. Moving from our place of shelter, we were greeted with a terrific showe er of grape, cannister and shell, the finbdg' u{:‘:rgu of which encountered us as we were climbing or in some manner getting over or past a worn fence of some five or six rails high, and which had intervened between ourselves and the cleared field beyond. ‘When about half the distance to the ridge had been traversed, one of the men nearest to me fell; and although we were going at the Jouble quick, I noticed as I hastily glanced down at him, that he had fallen in a ‘“‘dead furrow,” which the regiment was just crossing. I might here observe that, while lying in the timber, it, the field, the ridge, everything, in fact, about me, seemed strangely familiar, and so did the “dead furrow,” butyet the events of the night previous did not recur to me. I was thinking of something else about that time. ‘We charged ahead and reached the hill. The enemy’s gunners led. The crest was almost gained, as we (or at least, 1) thought, when suddenly I was enveloped 4n total darkness. A pressure upon my throat, a ringing in my ears ag though my head was plunged into a stream of running water ; a sensation of dizziness, numb- ness, suffocation, and of falling, and then a shock as I struck the ground ; how well I remember it all now, The concussion of the fall scemed to restore my sight (consciousness had nover left me) and to this day the in- cidents transpiring are as fresh as though they had occurred within the year. For instance: While 1 was mo- mentarily reeling, just at the time of being hit, preparatory to a fall over backward, I heard a comrade remark: ‘‘There goes——" (mentioning my name), and 1 remember thinking, even while on my way down to kiss Mother Earth with the back of my head, that I was ‘‘gone,” instead of oing But to continue: 8o soon after fall a8 possible, I constituted my- rd of survey to ascertain and assess the damages sustained, and forthwith entered upon the investiga- tion, 1 found that, as a personal matter, the injuries were quite serious—a minnie ball having penetrated my throat, passing between the jugular and windpipe, and found an exit at the back of my neck, quite low down, and clcse by the spine, which it slightly fractured. ter making up and sending in this report, uns doing what I could to staunch the flow of bloed by forcing | W into the wound some lint and a hand- kerchief 1 fortunately had with me, 1 crawled, us best I could, in my para- lyzed condition, to a more sheltered position, which, however, was ex- oceeding difticult to find, It was the hottest place I was ever in, and hotter than any I hope for in the future, The losses were terrible, more than half my comrades being either killed or wounded, the other regiments of the brigade suffering in proportion, peaking of hot placesin battle, one does not—cannot —understand fully what they are until he is struck down on the field, there to lie, utterly help- while bullets are singing and wmming, like ten hundred thousand swarms of bees, pattering upon the Smund and up Lttle puffs of ust or dirt, us the rain drops during a heavy shower do the waters of a lake, or crushing into the bone or striking with a dull thud the quiver- THE OMAHA DAIItY BEE SATURDAY ing flash—whilo grape and cannister shot and shell are howling, hissing, screaming overand about his pros- trate form—1 say one must needs ex serience all these things in order to }nlly understand the meaning of the term “‘a hot place Then, if he think at all, he will in cline to the belief that the canldron of hell, with the cover off, is but as an ice cavern when compared with the particular locality fate has fated him to occupy. The fighting continued only a short time after 1 fell, but, be- fore it was fairly over, still in search of a place of safety, 1 dragged myself into the cut of an abandoned railroad, which ran along the hillside almost at its summit, and where the Confeder- ate army had lain. AsT did this T caught a glimpse of a small cabin standing just beyond the batteries we had so vainly attempted to capture. Tcould perceive the roof, and as low down as the eaves. The gable stood facing me, and in it was a small window. At this moment I remembered my visions of the previous night. In stinctively I turned and looked in the directions of my comrades, They were in full retreat, followed up by the victorious foe. The sun was low down in the heavens, justas 1 had seen in my sleep. Soon afterward the confederates carried me back to the cabin. Hun- dreds of our wounded were there as well as many of the enemy’s besides a large number of men who had died. Everything corresponded with what 1 had gazed upon hours before. The vision was verified. Now comes the curious feature of the case. The nearest I had ever been to the locality described, previous to the day upon which I was wounded, was upon the old Bull Run battle-field, some two miles distant, and from which it was absolutely impossible to get evena limited view of the field upon which I lay. I had never scen a sketch or a photograph of the country, nor read a description of it or heard it described. These are facts beyona controversy. How, then, is the matter to be ex- Islnine(” Was it simply a remarka- vle coincidence, or is the circumstance to be properly classed among these strange cases of ‘‘second sight;” of which we read? I can understand an ordinary dream, for the visions which it brings to view are almost invariably based upon some incident of the past. The visions may JUNE 18 1881.

As heat will often restore the dateupon a coin otherwise undistinquishable, so sleep will frequently restore, through the avency of dreams, scenes and events long since forgotten and gone from the recollection during wuting hours, But if the coin never bore a date, then nothing remains to be re- stored. And if there be no founda- tion in fact, how can a simple dream bring to view scenes through which the dreamer subsequently passes that are verified in every important partic- ular by his actual experience?
