e A NIGHT WIiH JACKSON Reminiscences of the Confederate | batteries of Loader After the Bloody Bat- tle of Fredericksburg Philadelphia Times While serving on Stonewall Jack on's staff 1 sometimes shared with him the shelter of his tent, and it was my good fortune to do so the night of the battle of Fredericksburg, when some little incidents ocourred which, though trifling in themselves, wero 80 charactetistic of the general's conside- rate kindness that perhaps on that ac- count, they deserve to be recorled. After the ficht was over, when When the night cloud had lowered And the sentinel stars sct their watch in the sky We were riding together near Hamil ton’s Crossing, on the right of our line, when he turned to me and said: “‘Colonel, as this has been a fatiguing day, and you must be tired, I think you had better return to camp, get your supper and go to bed, for we are | likely to have a very busy day to morrow.” The advice was timely and too good to be neglected; so with a grateful appreciation of his fitness 1 thanked him for the suggestion, and promptly turned my horse's head towand the camp, which was about a mile from the crossing, whereunon he added, as a parting injunction: “Be sure and toll Jim to make you com fortable in my tent to-night and not to wait for me. If wanted, T shall probably be at thearmy headquarters,” Jim was the general’s body servant and faithful factotum, as much iden- tified with ham in his campaigns as was the “‘Old Sorrel” which his mas- or always rodefin battle, and which, by the way, was as little like the Scriptural, war horse described in Job as the general himgelf resembled the classical representations of Mars in Hebrew mythology, The servant mta “‘01d Sorrel” be- ing about the same color—each having the hue of gingerbread, without any of its spiciness—their respective char- acters were in a concatenation accord- ingly. For they were equally obedi- ent, patient, easy-going and reliable; not given to devious courses nor de- signing tricks; more scrviceable than showy, and, altogether, as sober- sided a pair of subordinates as any Presbyterian elder with plain tastes and a practical turn need desire to have about him, Both man and horse seemed to understand-their master thoroughly, and rarely failed to come up fully to all his requirements. So that when I told Jim that his master said he must make me comfortable for the might, I knew very well that nothing further need be urged to im- press him with the comprehensiveness of the order, which he would be sure to look upon as limited only by the re- sources o?othe camp and his own ca- pacity as a caterer. Consequently in due time, a substantial supper was served to which full justice was done, as I had eaten nothing since daylight, and soon thereafter I was sound asleep on the general’s pallet, which appeared to have a caoutchouc capabil- ity of accommodation when Jim, ‘“On hospitable] thoughts intent!”Z pro ceeded, as he said, to ‘‘widen of it out for to make it more titten for two.” IN TENT WITH JACKSON, About midnight T was awakened by the entrance of the General, who had been, asT learned afterwards, at Gen- eral Lee's headquarters, but I did not let him know that he had disturbed me, as that would have worried him. Lighting a candle and laying aside his reat coat, sword, etc., he opened the raft of the little sheet-iron stove that warmed the Sibley tent, and seating himself at the table read for awhile in his well-worn Testament; then, kneel- ing reverently down, he ‘‘bowed him- self in prayer.” When through with his devotions he drew off his boots, ut on a pair of slippers and quietly ying down by my side fell fast asleep almost immediately. By this time I was too wide awake to follow his ex- ample, My thoughts reverting to the terrible scenes of the preceeding day would not be controlled and I could not recall them from the bloody battle field close by, where the dreadful drama had been enacted and where there were then lying so many thous- ands of brave men, who ~had sunk on the ground o'erpowcred The weary to sleep and the wounded to die.” T thought of the magnificent spec- tacle of the morning before, when “‘the rolling mists” began to rise from the river and revealed ‘‘the grand Army of the Potomac,” with its 125,- 000 men, superbly armed and equip- ped, as it deployed, column after column, on the open plain before us, ““in all the pomp and pride and ecir- cumstances of war’—one of the grand- est sights over beheld on the conti- nent. I thought of the splendid ad- vance of its triple lines of battle, marching with the precision of regu- lars on dress parade, and preserving their alignment perfectly along our front as far as the eye could reach, until coming within point blank range of our position, when—with 300 can- non roaring around them and the air filled with the merciless missiles of death—they so gallantly rushed to the charge on the right hand and on the left, and were so remorselessly repuls- ed by the concentrated fire ot the Con- federates, which sent them reeling back beyond the river road to reform their shattered ranks for a fresh as- sault, while the intervening ground, covered with ther killed and wound- ed, was 80 torn up by shot and shell that it looked in places as if it had been ploughed, T thought of young Pelham’s daring feat—how, dashing forward far into the open fleld upon the Federal flank, he 8o raked the ad- vancing lines with the enfilading fire from two pieces of his horse artillery as to compel them to pause and not only confront him with a whole divis- ion of infantry, thrown into crochet at right angles with their mam lines of battle, but, likewise, to concentrate upan him the fire of four batteries, be- sides the heavy guns on Stafford Heights; and how, notwithstanding these combined attacks, the boy artil- lerist maintained the unequal duel for more than an hour, and until he was recalled by positive orders from his perilous position. Well might Gener- al Lee exclaim as he did to Jackson in regard to Pelham's prowess: ‘‘It is inspiriyg to see such glorious courage in one s0 young;” and well might Jackson say of him, as he did to me that day: “‘He's the best artillerist, for his age, I ever saw,” 1 thought of the furious assaults made early in the afternoon upon our right, when, again under cover of a terrible cannon- ade, “‘three lines of battle advanced | pictures of a moving panorar | to the charge, preceded by olouds of and strengthened by ten field guns upon their flanks; of how they broke through a portion of the Confederate line, force g two of A. P. Hill's brigadesto fall back on their supports and of the tom- porary confusion which was caused thereby, for foar our flank should be turned and our position taken in re- verse; of how grandly the lion-hearted Grogg flung himself into the fight that was fated to be his last; of how the staunch old soldier, Jubal Early, came to the rescue, regaining the lost ground and re-establishing our line; and of how the Federals again were finally compelled to seek safoty in flight, while a terrible fire of canister and grape made fearful havoe among the fugatives, 1 thought, too, of the last desperate efforts that were made inthe ovening upon our left, as described to me by those who saw them when the enemy 80 insanely assaulted Lee's sition on Marye's Hill, which was impregnable and where 8o many gal- lant men were cruelly sacrificed in vain attempts to achieve an impossi bility. STONEWALL'S OLD HABITS, Thus the principal events of that momentous day of successive excite ments passed in review before me in the order of their occurrence, like the with all the h ble dotails of a battle-field so that, of course, there was no more sleop for me that night. But this was not the case with the general by my side, who was more fortunate, 1 was glad to see, in securing for himsolf the benefit of “‘Tired nature's sweet re- storer,” which T knewhe greatly need- ed. Jackson, however, had the happy faculty of sleeping when he pleased, of waking when he wanted to do so, and taking naps under circumstances that, certainly, were not calculated to lull the senses in oblivion, For not only have I frequently seen him nod- ding by the camp-fire with his staff laughing and talking around him, and slecping in the saddle amid the dust, conilluiun and discomfort of a march, but, likewise, on more than one occa- sion, when under fire, as was notably the case at Halltown in May '62,when I made a pencil sketch of him as he roclined an the ground against a tree, in the rear of a battery, not moro than thirty foet from the guns, and was slumbering as placidly as an infant in its mother's arms, while the can- non were firing rapidly, and their re- rts were as loud as ‘‘the live thun- er” itself. But to resume the thread of m: narrative. It was about 2 ¢’cloc when the general awakened, and he did so suddenly as if by his own voli- tion, at the expiration of the time he had previously allotted for his nnY, He got up carefully, making as little noise as possible, for he evidently thought I was still asleep—an 1mpres- sion on his part which I did not think proper to ccrrect. Relighting the candle he began to write at the table, which stood near the foot of the bed and in a position that enabled me to study his hand- some profile, to which, by the way, none of his pictures do justice. After being thus engaged for some little time, he turned toward me, and see- ing that the light of the candle shone in my face, he softly arose from his seat and brought a book from the other side of the tent, which he care- fully adjusted on the table between the candle and myself, so as to shield my. eyes completeiy from the light. It was a little thing to do, a very little thing, indeed, but at the same time it was sufficient to indicate to me the thoughtful goodness of that great heart ‘of his, which was bold as a lions’s and as gentle as a lamb's, JACKSON AND GRI While T laid there looking at him through my half-closed eyalids T heard some one gallop up to our quarters and inquire of the orderly if the General was in, and presently an aide of Gen- Maxey Gregg's was ushered into the tent, who came with a verbal message trom his dying chi>f. ““General,” sad he, ‘“‘General Gregg has sent me to say to you that he will be glad to see you before he leaves us. We fear that he will not live until morning, and he wishes to tell you that he regrets having sent you the note he did the day before yesterday,as he has since discovered that you were right and he mistaken," ““Poor fellow!” exclaimed the Gen- eral, in a tone of deepest feeling; ‘‘I feared his wound was mortal; but did not think the end so near. Give my love to him and say that I will see him as soon as I can get there.” Whereupon the young officer took his leave, and the General, accompanying him outside, gave orders for Jim to saddle the “‘Old Sorrel” for him at once, When he re-cntered the tent I took occasion to speak to him tolet him know 1 was awake, and after some little conversation about General Gregg, whom he referred to in em- phatic terms of praise, affection and regret, I asked him what was his 1dea of the situation at the front and whether he thought the attack would be renewed, “Yes," said he, “and I think upon our right; so 1have given orders to strengthen our position there by in- trenchins. Burnside has doubtless discovered by this time that it's use- less for him to make any further at- tempts on the left and left centre of our [ine, and that his only chance for effecting anything will be to concen- trate his force upon our right our near Hamilton's Crossing, making a feint in that direction of his last assault, near Fredericksburg, Bnt, Colonel.” he added, as he drew on his boots, “we'll be ready for him, and, with God’s help, we'll guin another ic- tory.” skirmishers’ MASTER AND MAN, When he went out to mount his horse there was a somewhat amusing colloquy between himself and Jim, which though characteristic of master and man, showed how the latter fail- ed for once in obedience to orders, and the tormer likewise, in enforcing his own command, Jim, it seems, had put the saddle on the wrong horse, which caused the General, as he dis- covered it, to ask him: *“Why, what does this mean? Didn't Isend you word to saddle the ““Old Sorrel?”’ *“Yes, sir, you did,” said Jim. “Then why have you brought me this animal?" "was the next iuquiry. “Well, sir, I tell you,” said Jim, **You see, sir, when you come back last night it was most midnight, and the ‘Ole Sorrel’ was the dead tired ‘cause you'd been a riding of him all THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, AUGUST » i day long, that 1 so promised him some rest befo' he should be rid again | sir. Thrfo', sir, I's doge fotch the young sorrel for you this tite, sir,” “But, Jim," replicd the general, ‘1 always profor to ride the ‘Old Sorre in battle.” “I know that, sir,” “and if there gwine to be another battle 1 tell you what T'll do. Soon as 1 har the first gun go bang 1'll fotch the ‘Ole Sorrel’ down to the front for you, sir, and then, you see, sir, he'll be fresh, sir.” That assurance seemed to satisfy the general, jas he rode off without further romonstrance. Whereupon, ealling Jim into the tent, I asked him what it was his master was saying about another battle, and his reply showed that he was by no means de- ficient in sagacity, ‘‘For,” said he, “‘the general, sir, he thinks there’s gwine to be another battle here; may be this morning. But, sir, T don't believe it — for it stands to reason, sir, that the powerful lickin' we done give the Yankeoes yisterday is a gwine responded Jim, to last 'em a good long while. Least- wise they won't want any mo' doin's o' that sort to-day , sir-ce, they' too smart for that-—them thar Yankees is, sir Jim was right in his prognostication, fcr though “‘the morning disclosed the tederals still drawn upon the plain in full array,” and their command, (General Burnside, was anxious to re- new the engagement, he received no encouragement to do so, it is said, from either his oficers or mon, and the following morning passed without any demonstration, except some artil- lery practice to long range and a con- tinual skirmishing of sharpshooters, until a tomporary truce was granted to enable the fuvj’umln to relieve their wounded on the field, many of whom had been lying for twenty-four hours on the freezing ground where they had fallen, and some poor tellows for two days and nights, unattended from the time that they had been stricken down in the preliminary skirmishing of the day before the memorable bat- tle of December 13, which closed the campaign of 1862, A. R. BoreLkr. it Carson's Grave. Denyver Trivune. ““You newspaper fellows don't care what you say so long as you make a thing read well, do you?"' remarked an ‘‘old-timer" to a Tribune reporter yos- terday, at the same time producing a clipping from a newspaper. ‘‘Read this,” he added, handing the slip to the reporter. 1t was an extract from a New Mexi- co letter to tho Boston Herald. This is the way it read: Taos, New Mexico, was the home of Kit Carson, and the house of the famous scout stands near the plaza. Kit was once on his way home, and within a comparatively short distance of Taos. He had not seen his family, which he loved fondly, for three years. But he was overtaken with a request from the government to boar some very important dispatches to the Pa- cific coast. So he turned about and started at once. It was four years more before he returned to hisfamuly. We walked out to the little cemetery, standing in a most desolate spot amid the prosperous grain fields. Kit had requested to be buried beside his wife, and there were the graves of the two in a lov enclosed within a picket fence, painted white and the pickets tipped with black. The grave mounds are two low, scrawny gravel heaps. There no tombstones, no inscriptions, noth- ing to tell who lies below, and it is not known which grave is filled by Kit Carson ov which by his wifc. famous fronticrsman was a reckless gambler; he squandered away all his money and dicd penniless, but the public owes it to his memory that his grave should be properly marked and cared for. “Well?" said the reporter, inquir- ingly, returning the clipping to the gentleman, ““‘Just this: there's no truth in it. It's a clever romance and many places the wsthetic Bostonians, but it's just a little too transparent to go down out here. TI'll tell you the true story; Carson's wife was a Mexican wouwan, and she outlived him several years, He did not die at Taos, as the corres- pondent says, but at Fort Lyon, on the Arkansas river, in this state. His grave is under a cottonwood tree, where the step of man seldom falls, He never was a habitual gambler, either, and lost but little money in that way. He never made much money, but lived a roving life and always divided his pittance, received from the government, with the hungry Mexicans that hung around him, Carson died of consumption after a lingering sickness. *'Then again he was not entirely destitute at the time of his death, but left some landed interests, besides sheep, horses and cattle, with his life- long friend, Colonel Tom Boggs. They were sold to support and educate his children, The little orphans of the great scout fell into good hands, for right well has Colonel Boggs raised and educated them. The two little girls, now twelve and fourteen years of age, young as they are, have a bet- ter education than did their father, who could scarcely write his own name.,” and before a' clengyn ut left a lucrative graduated in medicine, practice for wy present profession, ten years ago, 1 was for many years a suffer- om quinsy; “Thomas’ Eclectric Oil me.” was also troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' Fe ec il al. ways relieved me.
