OUTSKIRTS OF GETTYSBURG i i A Farmer Describes hfirring Events Inoi- dent to the Battle. HIS HOME CONVERTED INTO A HOSPITAL Stench from the Sianght House In the Meadow and ood-Stalned Flours Made the Iouse Une vennbie, FProm the Washington Star we glean the following realistic account as con- veyod to a correspondent by Farmer Lightner. Hosaid: I and my neigh- bor, John Taney, set in to mow my meadow back of the orchard there on that morning, July 1, 1866, Tt was & hot, sultry morning, and aftor we had mowed awhile Tanoy says: ‘I could do better if I had a little whisky to drink.’ ‘Tcon soon get you sore,’ 1 replied, and taking set off to the village to get some. the way I fell in with William Young, another neighbor. When we got on top of Cemetery hill we saw a long line of smoke from camp fires over novth, along the Chambershurg pike, the first wo knew of the soldiers being about. We soon met people who said they thought there was going to be fighting out there. When we got into town ove body was talking about it, and said it looked like something was going on out there. But they had not a suspicion of the flood of bloody war that would roll through their streets and up into their doorways and gardens before the day was past. It was about 9 o'clock. Young said: ‘Let's 20 out on Seminary road and see what there is out there, anyway.” When wo ot up on the hill wesaw down to our left union soldiers, Howard’s corps, coming across the fields from the Emmittsburg road. Westood there watching them move up, form lines and take \lou'\\inn ander the hill. Directly a shell camo whizzing over from the front and fell back toward the town. Young wanted to go, but I insisted on staying a little longer. There was a great stiv and commotion among the soldiers at once, and they soon began to move for- ward. The shells began to come pretty thick and we left. “We had not got half way back to town when we met other union troops pouring along the road and through the fields, coming out of every street and alley and open space of the town, all vushing pell-mell, forward, without any apparent order, with fixed bayonets, cager-eyed, stripped, sweating and pant- ing in the hotsun. They cursed us for being in the way, buttedus back, and would have run right over us if we had not dodged out of theiv way. We crawled through among them as well as we could, dodging behind posts and buildings, and gaining & run of afew rods whenever we could. We got sep- arated, and 1 don’t know how Young got home. A mad rush of more troops, wagons and ambulances followed, filling up streets, orchards, fields and every place. Idid not get hometill 4 o'clock, trying with all my might all day. As 1 came down the pike home I saw a red flag on the end of the: house, and when I rot nearer saw the yard full of soldiers. “Under an applp, tree I found tho surgeons with a man, stretched out.on mu'(liuin;; room ln{llu and cutting and sawing aleg off, and op the grass there lay a 1nlc of limbs. 1 \wmmo\md to the kitchen door and looked ., I'he floar, was covered with wounded men. The stove was red hot, and they were baking and cooking up everything in the house. They had taken full possession. My four barvels of flour and everything in the celiar and spring house were soon used up. The family had taken refuge in the stable, where I found them fright- ened and crying. They bad got nothing out of the house, and did not know what had become of me, ‘I went back to the surgeon and asked Benson s Porous Plaster| IS THE BEST. %, RELIEVES PROMPTLY and o CURES QUICKEST, ‘i\@ PA‘I‘EN’I‘ BUREAU.

Is this your place®! he asked. 1 told him it was.” ‘Go oack, go back: take your family and go to the rear; that is all 1 can tell you,’ said he, and went on with his work. ‘Can't I get somo clothing, at | least, out of the house?' I asked. ‘lfyou | can find an said he. I wentin, bat could not find a thing that had not been | torn up and put 1o use—not even a dress of my wife's, Through the Lines “We set out with the children, six in number, from 13 years down, and made our way back, on foot, as well as we | could, among the oncoming troops and traing, four miles to a relation’s, where I 1oft them, and returned about midnight to the neighborhood. 1 erawled into the garres of Taney's houso for fear of the coafederate scouts and sharpshooters, and about daybreak slipped out, and over through the bushes to Powor's Hill, up there on the corner of my land. There 1 found the signal corps had established headquarters, From thero 1 could look down on my place and sec what was going on. I found Rufus Culp there, and told him I was hungry d nothing to eat since the morning before. He got some hardtack for me. They had planted a battery below to drive some sharp- shooters off Culp's hill, and were cut- ting down my timber. "My wheat field and orchard were full of wagon trains. A drove of beef cattle was being herded m thu meadow. “Isaw 1 could save nothing, so went back and moved the family nino miles further away and came back and staid with the signal corps till the battle was over. “'On the third day after the battle I got down to the house. There was not nbnnrd or rail of the fencing left on the place. Not a chicken, pig, cow ordogto be found. The mules had eaten up the orchard of d-year-old trees down to tho stalks. The garden was full of bottles and camp litter: the meadow of the hides and offal of the beeves which had been shot down in their tracks and dressed on the spot, as meat was needed. There stood the bare shop, the house full of wounded men and the old barn, where General Slocum had made his headquarters. In front of the barn sat a weary-looking, lone officer in blouse coat, drying himself at a fire made of pieces of rails. That officer was Major General Slocum himsell. Not an ovderly was in sight. e looked dreary enongh. ‘I “found Colonel Bebel in charge of the house, and asked him when he thought I could get my house back. He said he had no idea when. We came back about a week later and lived.gypsy: like, in the sop for six weeks. The ofil- cers supplied us for a fow days from the hospital stores. “The wounded in the house were nearly all from a regiment of Milwaukee German sang, criod, cursed, prayed, did every- thing, poor fellows, as they lay thero uffering and dying: but chiefly they drank_beer, wagon loads of it, brought from Milwaukee. They sent all their dead home. Unpleasunt Scenes of Carnage. “‘Such smells as came from the feste: ing wounds, from the blood and medi- cine, stained floors and from the chloro- form! Then the stench from the slaugh- ter yard in the meadow became sicken- ing. Blue bottle flies swarmed on the walls of the shop and house of an even- and the night air was terrible. did we stay? Why come back? \Vlm' else umhl we do? We had no money to pay board, we had nothing, and a large family to care for. We had been' putting all our money into the place. Wo must set to work as fast as we could to fix it up and get ready for the winter, “Six weceks later they took the last of | the wounded away and let us have the house. We tried to clean it up and live | in it, but it made us all k. Toward spring T got a chatee to take a stocked farm on shaves, sol moved away and let the house to an old Dutchman, who did not seem to mind the smells. Nine | years afterward I tore all the woodwork { and plaster ont and mado the house new | from the bare walls, Then we came | back, but my poor wife did not live long | in our new home. She had never been well from the first time we tried to live init.” General” Jefl, During the late war there wa connected with the Fourth Vir- ginia infantry a neero cook, whom we all lled ‘‘Jefr.” He was a tall, wngainly specimen of his race, and a crooked leg gave to his paita voeking motion, adding anything but grace to his movements, writ Paxton in Blue and Gy hardened sinner: shuffled fully, won all the change [rom the cooks in the brigade and broke the third com- mandment with as good a grace as he would transfer a chicken from a neigh- borjing roost to the tabie of his mess. He was a firm beliover in tho. “first law of nature,” and lest he should not get to a better land, he was very loth to take leave of tervestrial scenes. On the march he affordefd much amusement to the soldiers by his quaint remurks and witty replies to their questions as he passed along the lines. He had in his possession a steed whose angular appearance resembled his own— a'condition which, he said, was the re- sult of "diufing," “The boys wonld often address him_as “‘general,” and, as he rode forward on the maveh to [ollow up the regimental stafl, he would talk ver) pompously of “treping” the enemy and capturing all his “‘tricks.” Directly, *boom! boom!" would be heard in front, and here would come Jefl, bound for the rear, with a very solemn face. To the oral?" he would re v ) bring up de resorves: gittin' hot up da One morning, Muring the fighting in the Wilderness, Ourbrigude wagon train was breakfasting in the rear of our line of battle, which stretched along a hill whose top was eovered with woods, Jeff bad a skillet of nige sweet potatves just baked, and he was in the act of taking them up, when, right across the hill in our front, a federal battery opened fire on our line, Not having the range, on account of the trees, the shells flew above our men, and came, as unwelcome guests, right into the breakfast party. A lively spirit was at once infused into the train folks. A driver from old Krin, whilst bridling a mule, had the bridle knocked from his hand by a murderous | sholl. *“Howly vargin, huve maccy on us!” eried he. " Another shell steuck iu front of Jofl's skillet, plowed up a yurd of carth, which it threw over us ‘as it vicochetted in the vieinity of Jeffs head, and burst just be- youd, Jef's eyes seemed all white, and he was seized with a sudden hmpulse | to depart from so unhealthy a place. In his view of the situation there was no time for formal leaye taking, not even for mounting his war steed. With *‘De Lord save us!’ he grabbed his have: sack and away he went on oot towavrd the rear. His crooked leg, as it de- seribed onward curves, fairly whizzed through the air. Gallantly Jeif led the backward charge, followed closely by our chief guartermaster and his excited stall, A'shell burst just above Jefl’s head, the pieces making the dust fly all around his feet. In howing most politely to the stranger, down fell Jeff's new hat. On- ‘ward, still onward pressed the leader of the train. “Pick up your hat Jefr!" They were a queer lot. They | “Neber mind do hat, %o [ git de head out,” replied the hero of the retreating column, A colered boy—Bill--was about to outstrip the leader in the race, when a shell burst in front of him, Bill | wheeled and struck a lino directly toward the guns, “Git bohind a tree, you fool!” sang out Jefl. “I'ze 80 skeered, T don't know a big tree from a littlo one,” gasped Bill, as he flow on- ward. You little coward!" echoed Jeff, pushing on a3 rapidly as his dimin- ishing wind would allow. The strongest and safost position, in his opinion, was a point two miles up the road, whore we found him leaning against tho fence and panting for oxistence. His color was ashy and his eyes rolled wildly in thek kots. Said he: *“‘Captain, dat was de hottest place ob de war. Eber see anything run like dem niggers did? | Somehow T lost my hat, and bless my Iife! I forgot old ‘Rebel.’ Reckon he got knocked ail to pioc Some one brought him his hat, and some straggle rode up on “Rebel.” his faithful steed. But for a long time Jeff did not sinilo when asked if he liked shells, and th young eooks only fr a o distance asked him what became of his hat. A Rank for Navil Eng ne o Chief Engineor Melvillie of the navy in a recent report makos a forcible plea for tho giving of rank to_the enginoer corps of the navy, says Blue and Gray He claims that in modern naval warfar the resuits must depend quite as much upon the nerve and efficiency of the mon in charge of tho machinery as upon the gallantry of the forces hundling tho guns. Rapid maneuvering by meuns of twin propellers and électrical steering apparatus has again brought forward the ram asa weapon of offence, and made skillful handling of a vessel no less factor in hor efficiency than the rapid sorvice of her guns. Thevefore, the de- partment of engineering has assumod new dignity, and it is only fitting 1hat the men who devote thewr timo to the mechanical features of our naval forces should be offered some incentive beyond the mere pay attached to the service, and this may properly come in the way of the conferring of rank, as in the case of the men on deck. In the natural order of tnings the new navy of the United States should be a growing feature of our national development, and its ranks, in every branch of the service, should be recruited from the best and brainiest sons of the republie, not only on the quarter deck, but down below, * where the throbbing engines give life and efficiency to the huge mass of st We ave sure that in spite of the very just objection which exists in this country to an undue multiplication of tities, no one will disapprove the sug- gestion made by Commodore Melville, It has our héarty endorsement. We look toour new navy and our wallant vs to uphold the honor and dignity of our country abroad, and all legitimate incentives should be offered to sccure and maintain a high average of intelli- gence and ambition among the men, not only on the guarter deck, but in the en- gine room and on the berth deck as well.

At the first meoting in December there shall be held a regular inspeetion of each post in the departme To save expense and insure prompt reports the adjutant of cach post is hereby dotailed as inpecting ofiicer for his post, if present, otherwise the post commander will dotail a competent member of his post to perform that duty. 2. I'orm of inspection will be found on | pages 61 1o 65 of service book. It is de- the department commander ysame bo strictly tollowed. Commanders of posts will vender all assistance possible to assistant inspectors in the dischargo of their duties. 4. After inspection the report should be promptly forwarded to W. D. Wila- n, department inspector, Lincoln, b., not later than December 20, 4. Atteation is again called to tho t importance of bringing back invo our ranks those now remaining on the cd list. 7 A vigorous campuign of vecruiting should also be instituted by post officers, and a supreme effort made to gather in ull comrades who from apathy or, what is more hikely, the lack of means tokeep up their dues, have been suspended or dropped from the rolls. The department commander trusts that no comrade who is unable to pay his dues will be suspended. At the twenty-seventh national on- campment the rules and regulavions were so amended that dropped members will not be required to take anew- tho obligation upon resuming their member- ship. This important chango should work to the upbuilding of our order, and the commander hopes and believes that the same will - result in a lavge increase in our membership. By command of A, H.

A friend of mino who travels o great deal, and often stops at hotels where | folding beds are used, carrics a strong nickeled chain, like those used in hang- ing window weights, in his valise, and at citherend there is a good,stout serew- eye.
