HOW A MESSAGE SAVED THE MAN'S LIFE | e They Meet by Chance Eloven J¥ears After— Dyoamite Gars<The Soldier's Dog—O #e ana the Alage, The advance of theiconfederate line of battle commencedd eavly on the morn- ing of July 1, 1833, at.Gottyshurg. The infantry division commanded by Major General John B, Gordon of o was among the first to atiack Its ohjective point was the left of the Seeond corps of the union army. The daring commander of that corps occupied a position so far advanced beyond the main line of the fede rmy that, while it invited ttack, it placed him beyond the reach of ready support when the isis of battle » to him in the rusn of charvging lines more ex- tended than his own. The confederate advance was steady. and it was bravely met by the union troops, who for the first time found themselves cngaged in battle on the soil of the north, wnich until then had been virgin to the war. It was *a far ery” from Richmond to Gettysburg, yet Lee was in theiv front, and they seemed resolved to welcome their southern visit with bloody hands to hospitable But the federal flanks rested in aiv, and being \d, its line was budly broken and, despite its bravely resolute defense inst the well ordered attack of the nfederate veterans, it was forced to 11 back. Gordon's division a double quick to seize and hold the vantage ground in his front, from which the opposing line had retreated, when he saw divectly in his path the appavently dead body of a union officer. He checked his horse, and thenobserved, from the motion of the eyes and lips, that the officer was still living. He at once dismounted, aud, secing that the head of his wounded foeman was lying in a depression in the ground, placed under it a ne Iap- sack. While raising him at the shoulders for that purpose he saw that the blood was trickling from a bui- let hole in the back, and then knew that the ofticer had been shot through the breast. He then gave him a drink from a flask of brandy and water, and as he revived said, bending over him: ST am very sorry tosee you in this condition. U am General Gordon. Please tell me who you ave. I wish to aid you all T can.” The answer came in feeble “Thank you, general. 1 am Bri General Barlow of New York. Y do nothing more for me; I am dying.” Then, after a pause, he said: **Yes, you can; my wife isat the headquarters of General Meade. If you survive the bat- tle, pleasc let her know that I died doing my duty.” General Gordonireplied: ‘“‘Youwr mes- sage, if 1 live, shall surcly be given to your wife. Can [ do nothing more for you? After a brief pause General responded: **May God bless you. Only one thing more. Feel in the breast pocket of my coat—the left breast and take out a packet of letters.” As Gen- eral Gordon unbuttoned the Dblood- soaked coat and took out the packet the seemingly dying soldier said w please take out one and read it to me They are from my wife. [ wish that her word: 1l be the last 1 hear in this world. Resting on one knee at his side Gen- eral Gordon. in clear tones, but with tearful eyes, read the letter. 1t was the missive of a noble woman to her worthy hu vhom she knew to be in daily peril of his life, and with pious fervor breathed a prayer for his safety and commended him to the care of the God of battles. As the reading of the letter ended, General Barlow said: “Thank you. Now please tear them all up. 1 would not have them read by other General Gordon tore them into frag- ents and scattered them on the field, shot-sown and bladed thick with steel.” Then, pressing General Barlow's hand, General Gordon bade him goodby, and, mounting his horse, quickly joined his command. He hastily penned a note on the pom- mel of his saddle, giving General Bar low’s messago to his wife, but stated that he was still living, though seri- ously wounded, and informing her where he lg Addressing the note to “Mps, General Barlow, at General Meade’s headguarters,” he handed it to one of his staff and told him to place a white handkerehief upon his sword and vide in a gallop toward the enemy’s line and deliver the note to Mrs, Barlow "The officer promptly obeyed the order. He was not fived upon, and on being met by a union officer, who advanced for that purpose, the note was received and vith the assurance that it should red instantly. Let us turn from Gottysburg to the capitol at Washington, ‘where, eleven years later, Ganeral Gordon held with honor, as now, a seat as scnator of the United States and was present at a din- ner party given by Orlando B. Potter, a representative in congress from the state of New Yor Upon Mr. Potter’s introducing tohim a gentlemarf with the title of General Barlow, General Gordon remarked “Are you a relative of the General Barlow, a gallant soldier, who was killed at Gettysburg?" was in motion at by tones: adier u can Barlow was: ‘[ am the General Barlow who was killed at Gettysburg, and you are the General Gordon whosue- ored me,"” The meeting was worthy of two such brave men—overy inch American sol- diers. 1 should add thit on receiving her husband's note, which had been specdil delivered, Mvs, Barlgw hastened to th fleld, though not without danger to her person, for the battle was still in prog- ress. She soon found her husband, and had him borne to where he couid ry ceive surgical attendance Through her deyoted ministrations he was enabled td pesume his command of the ‘“Excelsior brigade” and add to the splendid reputation which it had achieved under Genaral Sickles, its fivst commander, Terrjble, g Within a fortnight there will be placed at Sandy Hoolo s battery of guns capable of throwing fifteen tons of dyna- mite an hour at any fleet of foreign hos- tile ships that might try to force their way to New York, These guns are pneumatic dynamite throwers and have Just been completed during the present week for the United States government at the West Point foundry at Cold Springs, near Newburg. Thereare three tubes in this first battery to be placed at Sandy Hook—two fifteen-inch and one elqht-inch aerial dynamite throwers. [ this battery proves 8 success the United States government, it is hoped by those iunterested in the invention, will place a score or more of these tubes i at Sundy Hook for the better protection The manufacturers be- fieve that a large battory of these dyna- mite throwing tubes could prevent the combined naviesof the world from enter- ing New York harbor. The battery was provided for by the last congress, says the Now York Herald. Work on the tubes was begun several weeks ago, and _everything is now in readiness to receive these powerful weapons of war, each of which can drop from 100 to 300 pounds of dynamite into the water bo- tween Sandy Hook and Coney Island, to a distance of from one to two miles, As the channel for deep water vessels extends only about one mile from Sandy of New York | Hook, warships trying to enter the b bor would be exposed to the heav argos fired by this battery. Three tubes will be mounted at Sandy Hook temporarily, near the end of the eand strip from which they tal name on the level of the be tube being on the r the fifteen inch on the left All three can be trained around the horizon. It takes utes to make a full eircuit, The total weight of the fifteen-inch tube is forty tons. The total weight of the full caliber projectile is 1,000 poun the explosive ch alone weighing 500 pounds. The range of the picce at ) degrees elevation, with a luvge pro- jectile, is 2400 ya with o inch sub-calibor “projectile weighing 500 pounds it is 4400 yards: with an eight-inch sub-calibe projectile weighing 340 pounds the range is 5,000 and with a six-inch sub-projectile ighing 240 pounds the range is 6,000 yards. The weight of the explosive tharges in the sub-caliber projectiles named would be resp vely 200 bounds, 100 pounds and fifty pounds. At all vranges the tubes ean place T per cent of their prc tiles within a rectange ninety feet ide by 800 feet long. A duplicate of one of the tubas was recently purchased and tested by the [English government for t defense. The most skilled vifla practice was thrown in the shade by performances. At the close of target practice, duving two days, British military authorities who witnessed the experiments declared that the accuracy of this aevial torpedo thrower was unpa At arange of yar or two and one-fourth miles, the error in direction was 8.9 yards: 3,044 yards it was 1.5 yards. The wind atthe time was moving at the rate of eight feet per second, and the deviation from the range was from 10 22.6 yards. A Devoted Canine.

Many of the: were reserves from the camps at Wash i s writer in Blue and Gray. The point at which the attack was made was a strong one, and the storm- ing columns were subjected to a deadly cross-lire. The first advance was re- pulsed with fearful loss. Again did the federal troops gallantly charge our works, but their lines melted away un- der the storm of musketry, grape and caniisterthat swept the intervening space. Then they fell back in confusion, ieaving th dead and wounded on the smoking field. Immediately our sk sh line was thrown out to watch theijr movements, and was established at a point where the slaughter had been greatest. Tho smoke had scarcely cleaved from the field and random shots were growing fewer. A member of the IFourth Virginia infantry, ‘‘Stonewall brigade,” who was posted on the line, on looking around him, saw a small white spaniel, with black ears, standing with one foot on the breast of a federal lieutenant who had been killed a short time before. The dog commenced barking furiossly at the skirmisher, whose fivst 1mpulse was to shoot the ani mal, but, on second thought, he took in tuatign and admired the fidelity little beast, guarding with its own ad body of its late master. touched the soldier’s hear ed to pacify the faithful creas ture. Getting a sash froma dead zou- ave near by, he succeeded, after many attempt ', in throwing it over the dog’s head unl claiming it as his prisonc The dog was loth to leave the dead sol- dier, and continued to lick the wound upon his eheek. When the line was “re »d the con- federate brought the little dog back to the regiment and gave it to our majo who sent it back to the wagon tramn. For two days it would ecat but little, seemed dejected, and at night would whino most piteously. On the morning of the third day hun- ger had conquered, and new life had come to the poor animal. It ate greedily, was cheerful, and frisked around as if reconciled to its new friends.

To fecl the pulse of the enemy, to arn his strength or weakness, is very ticklish business, for the scont is apt to stumble sometimes upon more than he burgained for. This was the case with Tom Rothing of General Sterling Price'’s service. What was supposed to be a detached division of the 40,000 men and 100 pieces of artillery with which General John €, Fremont proposed in 1861 to crush them was observed one morning within a few miles of the confederate camp, and Rothing was sent by Price to find out its numbers. He was to goin the charac- ter of a farmer come 1o ask news of his boy whose command he was ignorant of, but whom he knew to be “somewhere” in the union army. This would afford the scout opportunity to wander through the camp, making his inquiries with some freedom, 50, procuring a shabby, lean old gray mare that looked as if she and a curr comb had not even a speaking acquaint- ance, Rothing set out. He was halted by the union picket and was intent on explaining his mission, when a waggish soldier, winking at his com- rades to see what fun he would get out of the old haysced, gave the mare a slight prick with his bayonet. There was an eqguine flash of lightning that struck at both ends and felled the picket and joker like a shot, a streak of something through the camp that did not stop even as it upset a kettlo filled with an impro- vised dish of hominy, brown sugar and bacon over the mess sitting about it, licking their lips as they watched it bubbling over the fire, a moving parallel of gray mare sailing on with a whole army shouting in chorus *Whoa!" and a wild wail of “Don’t shoot! don’t shoot!” wafted back on the wind, The vld mare was Jessie Blanton, and had been one of the famous ante-bellum racers of that section, and she never stopped till she carried her rider half a mile on the far side of that camp.
