) SEEK health and avoid sickness. Instead of feeling tired and worn out, instead of aches and pains, wouldn't you rather feel fresh and strong ? You can continue feeling miserable and good for no- thing, and no one but your- self can find fault, but if you are tired of that kind oflife, you can change it if you choose. How? By getting one bottle of Brown' IroN Bir- TERS,and taking it regularly according to dircctions.

Tt is well for us from time to time to re- the recollections of thore eventful well as individuals, yes, are prone to forget the teachings of the past. Past favors, past trials are aliks consigned to oblivion, crowded out of mind by the pressing events of the present hour, Be. fore the attack on Delhi, during THE GREAT MUTINY in British Indis, the soldiers of the En. glish army were promised all contained therein in tho way of booty. After the naswult and oapture this woa denied them, Oune of the soldiers cut with the point of hia bayonet on stone at one of the gates of the oity the following verse: ‘When war is rifo and danger nigh, “Giod, snd the soldiers’ all the or Whes war Is 'er and danger Hghted, God is forgot, the moldier slighted.” 1t was & wise thought, the establishment of this Memorial day, else it is to be fearad tho hardships and privations of the march, the camo and the bivousc, the contly #acrifice of life on the battle felds, themental and the physioal anguish of the prison pen and the hospital,—all that waa one, endured and suffored to save our clorious land from disruption, would in timo have faded from the minds of men, or would have lived bnt in the pages of history, Tho war of the rebellion would been to our childron the living annual recurrence of this day tends to make ‘. Botter than bronze or mar- ble is this memorial to those who from our ranks have gone before, for while we re- count their doeds wo cannot fail to recall the object for which they died and be re- newedly impressed by the lesson of pat. riotism to our country, fidelity to the right, and valor in its defence they silently ach, Treason is n orime, and the soph- iskry of men cannot make it o virtue, Lot us remember that while we are enjoined by holy writ to forgive the sinner we are nowhere told to condone the sin, Let honor the bravery, the magnificent fight ing qualities of thé woldiers of the confed- | d eracy, but let us remember to profit there- by, ail thero was involved in the mighty issue they forced upon us. Through suffering and finally through blood the Almighty brougkt Israel out of Egypt, snd that the lesson of THAT AWFUL NIGHT when Pharaoh's robellion againat the Lord received its final punishment in the death of the first-born of every Egyptian house: hold, should not be forgotten, the annual fonst of the pamover was established in its commemoration, and to perpetuate the lesson of punishment and delivery. The Lord said unto Moees, “*And it shall be 5 | when thy son asketh thee in time to come, snying ‘What is this?, thoa shalt say unto Him,"” and the story of the delivery was to be retold. By this memorial service we expect to keep alive, aud through our sons to hand down to remote generations the memory of our honored dead. Napoleon proclaimed to his veterans as they stood on the sands of Egypt, *'From the top of those pyramids, forty centuries look down upon you, soldiers of France,” To all who claim a heritage in this broad land comes a proclamation from the mighty host of patriot dead, whose names are written on the pyramid of liberty built of their bones and cemented with their blood, “stand fast in the whorewith we have made you fre fame of those who died in the war of the rebellion was not won in any common strife; the cause in which they gave up their lives was the grandest that ever en- nobled war, hat was it but to save from destruction the life of the nation; to preserve the coustitution ss founded by the fathers of the republic; to secure the ? The soldiers of the republic, whose memories we hoaor to-day, fought to suppress a rebellion born of the bar. barism of slavery and consumated in vio. lence and fraud. THE MEN WHO FELL in the swamps of the peninsuls, in the forests that cover the bluffs of the Cum. berland and the Tennessee, and that sick- ened [to death in the inhospitable region lines the Misaissippl, were defending the constitution of the United . "The martial valorof our soldier was at Vicksborg and Uatt{nbnrg rry banner that symbolizes a united nation should not be trailed in the dust, Their courage aud devotion was shown at Auntietam and Jonesboro as well a8 on the slopes of Chickamaugas ridge snd a thousand other fields that the free institutions which are the strength and ormament of our land should not die amid the billows of a rebellion that was sapping their foundations, It is not eiven to all men whe bear arms to tight in 8o righteous & cause as led these dead heroce to the field. The mass of our soldiers volunteered from pure patriotism. They felt themeelyes to be but instruments in the Lord’s hand to do a righteous work, They died that they might build around the temple of liborty an impreguable de- fenre, and their graves soattered as they are from the Fotomac to the gulf were made to form a breastwork against the onset of those who would destroy the Union and the Constitution on which it is based, The soldiers of the Union were so permeated by the sense of loyalty to the government of our common country that they were willing to ph( the greatest price pay in order —in the words of Mr, —*‘that & government of the peo ple, by the people, aud gfor the people should not perish from the earth,” The scenes that ocourred vn that April duy in the year , when the roar of Sumpter's cannon aroused the north from its dream of peace, and called from Mr, Lincoln a proclamation asking the states for 75,000 men and appealing to ALL LOYAL CITIZENS to favor, facilitate, and aid this_effort to maintain the honor, integrity and existence of our nationsl union, wre indelibly im- pressed upon the memories of those who wituessed thow, From the pulpit aud the Jadge’s benchy from the workshop and the arm, from the college and thelmarts of trade, men came in suswer to the presi- deat'scall, Qustions loag pending were at last to be submitted to the stera arbi. trament of war, Half & soore of states had proslaimed their determination to leave the Union to establish the creed of seces- slon, It was & vast power with & military organization directed by educated soldiers of no mean name or note, e thunder the false doctrine of THE DAILY BEE-1HURSDAY MAY 31 secession was to besupported by the sword, With a onanimity worthy of the cause the gage of battle was take up by the northern wtates, and men left their penceful homes, their wives and children, their mothers and sisters to fight—ond if need be to die thut the nation mizht live, How far the sympathy of those mothers, ¥ lluai‘hfl{ in the accomplls! of this noble work for the records of the Christian and ssnitary commissions bear upright testimony, There was not a town or bamlet in the north where work for the soldler was not going on; not regiment left for the field that did not carry with it numberloes tokens of affectionate reme brance, ry knapsack contained some- thing that might cheer or comfort on the march or in the camp., Into every hospi- tal, not only thoss that were permanent in fixed camps o7 1n towne, but the tempora- ry ones located by the roadside or under the ehelter of a hill when THR BATTLE WAS NIGH at hand, poured a continual stream of comforts the government could not supply, So actively was this work carried on thi thero was not & place our armics went th ngenta of these noble women did not fol. low; no detachment of iers 8o small as to be overlookel in their ministration, The self-denial, the patience. the unwa faith, the courage and perseverance ol northern women shone conspicuously through disaster and through victory. Through good report and through evil re- port, before friends and in tho face of one- mies they displayed Spartan virtue, When strong men grew discouraged and gave utterance through the press to their forehodings it was the women who stood steadfast in the faith that the right would ultimately triumph, Upon them came bereavercent and in a multitude of case poverty and want, when the *‘bread win- ner” of the family fell in battle, All honor to the noble women of the north for the part they took iu the mighty conflict which shook the land, To show yow, my friends, how they did their duty—theoe soldiers of the Union— did it under ciroumstances to test their manhood, for the exhilaration that comes from the thunder of battle was wanting, lot me attempt: to sketch for you an episode in the unwritten history of the army of the Potomae, Daring the wintor of 1863-4, the army of the Potomac lay in cantonment south of the Rappahannock river aud on the line of the Orange and Alexandria railway, with Brandy Station near the center of the line, The forces of the enemy known as the army of Northern Virginia under the com- mand of General Robert K. Lee, occupied the wooded heights south of the Rapidan In the latter part of the month of Novem- ber, General Meade commsnding the Union forces, inaugurated & movement having for ita object the turning of Loe's right flank and a lodgement at Orange Court House ‘and Cordensville, if not a movement on Richmond, This operation is KNOWN IN HISTORY asthe Mine Lun campaign, The army suo- ceeded in orossing the Rapidan and began its march through the narrow tracks misnamed rosds that threaded the dense forests called the Wilderness, The - advance of Meade's army wus soon engaged with the enemy and # hot fight known as the battle of Locust Grove only closed with nightfall, when the enemy retired, It was evideat the rebel army was not to be surprlsed, Daring the next day continual skirmish- ing showed a determination to contest every foot of ground. About the middle of the afternoon the sixth corpscame upon the enemy in force on the bills covoring the valley and stream known as Mine Run, An officer of my acquaintance 8 | holding & command in the second division ot thet corps commanded the advanse g that day as well as the previous one, Following the enemy's retiring skir. mishers, his force had debouched from the woods, and as night fell he saw the rebel line back upon the strong works, fringing and crowning the hills upon the opposite side of a narrow valiey, There was just time beforo dark to make dispo- sition of the pickets and to closely recon. noitre the formidable position in front, The winter night closed in with a clear sky, n bright moow and a keen, frosty air. About 11 o’clock tl t the officer re- ferred to was nnmmonmflu report at the headquarters of the corps, A brisk ride of a mile through the pine forests brought him to s spot where s number of the regi- ent and brigade commande mbled, standing in gréups ab re. A general officer was walking back and forth before the fire with folded arma and thoughtful countenance. The scene was most picturesque and striking. The bright firelight,the trowd of uniformed fig- ures, the dark shate of the snrrounding through which came the noise of restless horses and the ocoasional gleam of the accoutrements of the mounted or- dorlies and escorts of the cfficers assem. bled, whileabove in tho clear sky sailed the full moon, tipping with silvery light the frosty tree tops, A HUSH OF EXPECTATION hung over the assembly, a few words of groeting to some late-comer was the only conversation heard. What did the meet- ing menn?! What movement wasin con- templation? No one ventured a surmise or cared to ask, At last an officer spoke to the genor: robably telling him that all the offi summoned were present. Suddenly pausing in his walk and by a gesture of his hand calling the groups to- ether he sald, ‘‘Gentlemen, General ende has resolved to attack the enemy to-morrow upon both flanks at the same time, and to attempt the capture of his works upon_this his left flank, by aseault to be madefby part of the sixth , to be formed in mass, Tnose of you who know the ensmy’s position know.this will be an arduous undertaking; 1t isabeolutely necessary for sucooss that eriea in the front line of the ene orks be captured and the line be held at least un- til the massed corps has descended the hill on' thia side crossed the meadow at its foot and ed over the marehy brook with its abrupt and broken banks, To carr; this line will require an impetuous attack; it must be taken if it costs every man in the assault, As thisis in the nature of a forloru hope I for & volunteer to com- mand the troops to do this work,” A num. ber ot officers immediately stepped to the front, My friend, who already held the advance, justly claimed the duty and was assigned to it, A fow words of general in. struction and the assembly scattered, The next three hours were b regiments of well established reputation, both Yankee of the bluest blood, tried New England men from Maine and Ve mont, men hardened and keen-edged us the trusty b.ade of tempered steel wrought into shape hx the fire and hammer of war, were selected. These regiments are to be placed in position so close to THE ENEMY'S PICKETS that in & moment after the advance is sounded they wil be on them and capture or surprise them at a blow, There mnst be no halt or hesitation, no stop or check to the on.rush, The iateliig char: oterized the mass of our specially marked in three wellstried men, The brief instructions are understood and the details of & military movement rarely practiced on the drill ground, bu to the provident care of the offisers of that command known to those who bad to use it, is so carefully executed that the line is deployed and placed in position within one ixumlwd yarcds of the creek upon whose further bank the enemy's pickets were posted—all this under th bright rays of full moonand in the open ground on the edge of the timber that tt this point on the union side comes to the brow of the sloje, The woods to the right and left are here and there broken by either meadow or cultivated fields, From the edge of the woods the hill slopes abruptly, with a descent of ahout fifty feet to the valley bel rom the foot of the slope the ground is level to the creek— Mins Run, & small stream windiog with abrupt turns through the valley. The banks are high and broken; the stream has out through the soft meadow land until its bed is from six to eignt feet in many rllcel below the general surface, It is nown that the baaks ara overhanging, only held in place by tne thick sod on the surface, ready to crumble and fall with & touch, Beyond the stream a hundred then the hill ards of Jevel meadow I Tites o o bundred_foet, rites sharp'y for full sloping back for three hundred more, less steeply, Three lines of breastworks be plainly traced by the light of flickering camp-fir o firot line is at the foot of tho hill, skilfally placed to sweep the level ground in front with ARTILLERY AND INFANTRY FIKE, The hum of voices can be hoard in the still frosty air, and the vooasional rumble of artiilery wheels on the frozen ground tolls that movemeuts aresfoot, Half way up the bill sparkles of light glancing through the trees mark a second position, while the flash of bivouac fires beyond and higher shows the hill is covered with armed mon to its very crown, Following thoe summit of the ridye the eye cxn trace the rebel line to their left and rear until it is lost in the distance, ~The military problem to be rolved in the morning is to get down the hill into the creek, up its muddy, slippery bauks on the other side, disperee the rebel picket line, cross the open ground under, it may be, a heavy fire of artillery at short range, and mske a lodgment within the enemy’s first line. All this must be done or the uassed troops in the main attuck, following close be- hind,caunot hope to cross the open ground, the broken banks of tho miry stream, gain the foot of the foot of the hill and deploy for further work on the lines beyond, without serious loss aud_possible derange- ment of the p sns, S0 close was my friend to the enemy’s p- on and 8o bright the moonlight d";n » half dozen or more batter- ies could be ¢ uted—forty or fifty guns at least covered the little. meadow. ~ Will enough men livo to get through and engage the enemy at ol se quarters, masking the movement in rear? A few hundred yards back of the creat of the hill on the Union side, and under the friendly shelter of the dense pine woods 15,000 men were massed in close column of attack; brigade behind brigade, division behind division, one could have walked from front to rear of the mighty mass upon the heads of the men, 'I'he whole force wae consolidated into a body a few hundred yards square, The ATTACK WAS TO DE MADRE in the early morming, the signal to be giyen from the headquarters of the army, somo three miles away, one gun, then after an interval in which one could count five in quick time, two shots in quick suc. ocession, Thehours pass on, the cold in- oreased as the night grew old; none but those 1 ke you, my comrades, who have passed the ordeal know of the tension of nerye that comes at such a time; each man of that line lying without a blanket or cover in the frost covered-graee, is alone with his thoughte, for not a word can be spoken to comrades cloge at hand, for it may betray his position to the wakeful foe. The grey light comes In the east; 1t grows broader and brighter and the time ie at hand—the time has come, why is not the wignal given? Precious moments are being wasted; the ear is strained to catch the ex- ected boom of the signal gun; the enemy s stirriag in his camps; in the increasing light the lines can be seen swarming with men; every momout increases the danger of discovery, An hour beyond the wp. pointed time the eilence is at last broken by the boom of & heavy sicge piece; it is the expected signal; “one—two—three — four—five, then comes boom!—boom! Swingiug himeelf into the saddle, my friend, the commanding officer, said to the expectant bugler at his eide, ‘‘Soand the advance!” \6[“1 the first notes the brave fellows, who for many hours have laid on the cold earth with the murcury below the freezing point, spring to their feet, and without & word or inspiring ehout, rush forward over the slope, over the few yards that measures the meadow’s width, into the creek and over the startled picketa lin- ing the further bank. The line deployed, but with close intervals, rushes on; the ad- vance is irresistable; the prospect of suc- o laddens every heart; in a moment more the troops will have reached the first breastworke, and so far BCARCE A SHOT has been fired,when from the woods in the rear rushes a mounted «fficer, shouting a8 he swings his hat, ‘Come back! Come back!” The attack is abandoned; it is an aid of the vommanding general, and the order must be obeyed. The bugle sound- ing the retreat seemed to call the started enomy to his senses, and springing to his guns he sent destruction into the gallant ranks falling back. It is not for me to tell ot thin,lime why the signal was delayed — was ot WG given—and then o speedily followed by the recall, My purposs is sccomplished in bringing to the minds of the veterans before me pictnre from the ponorema of the war. Success or failuro should not influence too greatly our esti- mate of the enlisted men who bore & part in events such as these; the purpose was ever the same—to follow tho call of duty whatever the end might be. Untoward events might onuse the shipwreck of msny o fair scheme of skillful generals; defeat might come a8 it sometimes did in place cf cheering victory, but fidelity to duty, courage in the hour of trial and patience with hopefulness ever marked the mass of our urmy, Another sketch is the great battle of Autietam, fought September 17th, 1862, I trust will be of interest, The gray light of the coming day begins to dawn; during the darkness the contending armies have drawn together until with the increasing light the men can see the opgusing line, within ehort musket range. 1'he dropping fire of the infantry begins to play reveille along the line; a battery of light guns is pushed to the front beyond the central wood, over a plowed fiold near the top of the slope where the corn-field begins, On this open field in the corn, and in the woods beyond, is to be enacted the deadly scenes of the aay., The scattered fire of sn infantry skirmish swells into A CONTINUOUS ROAR, accented by the thundering bass of the field artillery jas hntfl'{l after battery comes into pln{. Within half an hour the steady discipline of our men be- gan to tell; the enemy’s line ins to d forth like the puleations of nimal. The movement is orward men, forward!” comes the commaud, and with ringing cheers on go our lines, colors of the regiments well advanced and gleaming fitfully through the battle smoke. The retreatinj enemy leaves the ground thickly cove: with dead and wounded men as back the broken masses go across the cornfield, over the fences and stone walls, past the sunken roed, through the stream and into the dark woods which clotes about them, The Union troops follow with increasing speed until they flin% themselves against tLo woods into which the beaten enemy has disappeared, But suddenly one of the incidents common to war and that marks the uncertainty of battle changes the aspect of affaire; from out those groves come terrific volleys of musketry and the crash of artillery—volleys that smote and broke the compact front, tearing huge gops through the advancing lines and checking the onward rush, The Union officers close up their shattered lines, brigades dwindle to scarce a regiment's strength, the division cannot count the totag of its weakest brigade, but stoadfast where they stand the surviyors hold the ground apainst these fresh rebel troops. The enemy is now advancing, pouring his long lines of reserves over the fields from which he has so lately retired, It is o wagnificent sight, to see them come on, noted an ground is thickly covered with the dead ond wounded of both sides, as the tide of battle has twice before on that morning ebbed and flowed over those fields, A slight dip in the ground hides for & fow moments the enomy from view, and gives temporary shelter from hia fire, but with- out halt steadily and awiftly the lines mount the ascent, an1 in a moment more they crown the crest, The smoke of the battle alone yails our men from the enemy swiftly marching to gain the ssme point. But the troops who hold that crest know that upon its possession may depend the insuon of the day, They came to stay and they did stay, Firing firet in well-directs ed vollies, then by file, they checked the enomy’s onset, For half an hourwith fast thinning ranks they held the ground, Iu vain the enemy delivered astack after at. tock. Hia lino melty before thst terrific fire a8 melts the snow before the sum- mer's #un, As the ammunition of our men begins to fail they gather themselves for our last effort, and moviug on the en. emy, drive the broken fragments from the field, OTHER TROOPS COME UP, the line goes forward at a run, and soon Jhe woods are clear of ths lurking fos, What a ghastly eight does that fiald present! Truly s harvest of death, so thickly do they lie, In one place iuil seven hundred dead could be counted on less then five acres of ground, My friends thess incidents must suffice; the time will not permit to tell of the heroic fortitude displayed in the months of watching end fighting in the trenchin, the weary march in hunger, rain and ol the hopa deforred that makes the heart sick to those in the prisons of the south and in the hospitals that dotted our north- ern land; the numberless oxhibitions of patient endurauce, of suffering, a3 herofc a8 the bravest deed in tho battlefield, Yes, these men were faithful unto death aud it is fitting we should, from year to year, recall their deeds and their sacritices, wreathe their monuments wish Rowers, weave for them the laurel crown, remem- ber their words of truth and patriotiam, and, dwelling wich pride and aff ction on the work they accomplish, educate our children to emalute the devotion to our ;:lnmmon country that characterized their ves, ‘then followed special sorvices by the G. A. R., the hymn ‘‘My country 'tls of thee,” by the Glee club, and the benedictlon, after which the graves were strewn with flowers, and the concourse broke up and returned to the city. REMEMBER THIS.
