CHARGEAT 1 !IQSW\AR\ RIDGE Orchard Knob, Whenoe 'the Battle Was Directed, Purohased bythe Government. P HOW SHERIDAN'S MEN'TOOK THE RIDGE The Fleld of This Most Spestacular Eattle of the Civil War WiN' e Known a8 the Chattanobg# National Park—War Recolléetions, Orchard Knob, celebrated because from there, exposing himself to the con- | federate guns, General Grant directed the battloe of Missionary Ridge, has boen purchased by the United States park commissioners. Only a short time a the site of General Bragg's headquartc at the time of the same battle was bought, and the commissioncrs are now negotiating for the summit of Lookout mountain. Thus the whole field of the most spectacular battle of the civil war will become the property of the govern- ment, and be known as the Chattunooga National park, says the Nebraska Do- fender. This is a purchase that will commend itsclf to the Army of the Tennessco, to students of history, and to lovers of the beauti- ful in nature. The whole valley of the Chattanooga is an amphitheate and today, as on the day of the batt there is 1o better point of vantage than Orchard Knob. It is a rough, steep hill at the head of the valley, & mile norvh- west of Missionary Ridge, with a wide view that takes in the valley, the ridge and Lookout mountain away to the south. It is 100 feet high, and is covered with a serubby growth of timber. The taking uf this little hill was the overture to the battle of Missionary Ridge. From the top of it General Grant sent signals and messages to Sherman, Hooker, Sheridan and Wood,fighting at points miles apart. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of m- ber 25 he began to close the lines and advance on the breastworks at the foot of the ridge. Thoen with dismay we saw acharge that cqualed in i famous one Balaklava. men had been ordered to take every- thing before them. Without awaiting further orders they started up the ridge between the fires of the enemy. Grant turned and shouted angrily ““I'homas, who ordered those men up there?"” “I did not,™ answered “Old Pap,” as he anxiously watched the boys in blue g0 to almost certain death. A chief of stafl was sent at once to Wood and Sheridan, and the hero of Winchester sent back word: *1 didn't order them'tup. But when those boys get started'atl’ —— can't stop them.” The whole commanfl Was ordered up to snatch them from the jaws of death, but by the time they @ot there at six different points Sheridan’s and Wood’s divisions broke ovewr :the crest and Bragg's army was broken in two. A great cheer echoed along the valley and | back from Mount Lookeunt. “Old Pap” brushed a tear from his eye and swal- lowed a sob, and General Granger rode down to see the hoys who, had taken the ridge. They lay there y_out of every hundred wounded, but jubilant. “Boys.” he said, “you were told to tako the base of the nidge, and you took the top. If you ever,get well we're going to have every ———— one of you court-martiaied for digobeying orders." Diod Vindionging. His War times and adveutures were the burden of the conversation among a half-dozen veterans of the civil war in a local barber shop the other day, says the Bowling Green (Ky.) Democrat. War stories are always entertaining, and each one of this party wus ready with somo recital of a deed of daring, a clever piece of strategy, tough luck ex- periences, or the grimly humorons side of some dangerous predicament. T have read many stories,” said one of the old soldiers, ‘‘of individnal ex- hibitions of-hravery during the war, but [ witnessed a duel between two officers of high rank that had I read it I would have believed it the product of imagina- tion. The veteran was a great story teller, and the party into which tho reporter had intruded settled down prepared for something interesting. “During the early days of the war,” said the old warrior, “‘the fedcrals, who had already driven the rebels from southern Kentucky, were much troubled down in Christian county by Colonel Woodwavd, who, I believe, lived near Lafayette, in that county. He was in the habit of visiting his home with a small party of skivmishers, and ho always car- vied away with him a number of horses and supplies. The raids were nniformly siccessful because of their andacity, and ‘Woodward was a thorn in the side of the union forces of that territory. A number of northern officers, noted for their sagacity and courage, were in- trusted with the task of capturing or killing Woodward, but he was too much for them. The southern sympathizers, of whom there were many in the vicin: ity, greatly enjoyed these fruitless ef- forts to end the carcer of the audacious robel, and the union officers were exas- perated by the ill-concealed amusement of the neighborhood at their expense. inally & Major Brackett—I think he was from northern Ohio—volunteered to put an end to the depredations of Woodward. By some means he learned that the confoderato, with a small force, would visit Lafayotte one night, and an elaborate plan for his capture was arranged, Soon enough the raider put in an appearance, as had been expected, and -ujor Brackett thought his game was at,last corraled. Woodward was at last survounded, as Major Brackett thoughteand the signal was given to the unioh en to close in. They did so, but just ad''they thought the game was up for thesfebel thoy were suddenly attacked frotn déveral quarters simultapeouly and demoralization en- sued. Major Brackewswore and fumed and the whole force fled:pell-mell, car- rying the commanding ofticor with them. They went av a wild pacd through Lu- fayette, followed by the jecring taunts f the southern sympattizors. “Though no one hat thgtemerity to say it to his face, Major Hmekett folt that he was regarded as a cowsrd, and he was | naturally " exasperated. b 1t developed later that Woodward’s ?mcu had been areatly inferior, numerically, to that of Brackett's. Conscquently ‘he had to | submit to a deal of ohuffing from his brothor ofticers, and, being of a sensitive | | | | | ane. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.

Brackott was soon after assigned for duty in the neighborhood of Memphis, where he did good work, but nothing, as he thought, to repair his shattered repu- tation. One day, however, the longed-for opportunity came. At the head of a skivmishing party he was quietly march- ing down the round when suddenly he me upon a similar party of emfode: ates. The unexpectod meoting threw both parties into confusion, and before eithor had achance to form for fight Brackett ordered his men to ren quiet and rode forward. 1t was a remakable course and, 1 believe, without a parallel in the history of the war, but he challenged the commanding ofticer of the rebels to a person conflict “It happened that the rebel ¢ was Major Valentine, whose house was in Memphis. He was one of Forrest's men, and had a reputation as a man of ug sive personal daving, He w ' at the unusual challenge, but he immedi- ately accopted, and the two officers, plain view of their commands, galloped toward cach other with drawn sabors They went at ecach other like knights of old and a thrilling duel followed. The horses turned. charged, and reared with won- derfal rapidity, The sabers hissed vie- iously. Blood was drawn on both sides. The officers charged again. Brackett made asavage cat at alentine, who dodged. The officers charged again. The rebel officer made & baclkward eut as he passed and the blade struck Brackett square across the back of the neck. His head dropped to one side, he reeled, and fell from his horse. Thoy picked him up, but he was dead. The blow had broken his neck. He had proven his courage, but he died in the ttempt. They buried him by the road- side, and the two forces withdrew with out firing a shot. 1 was with Valentine' force, und [ never witnessed a simiiar fight and never hope to doso.” Ate Fishball Crow. Birdsall, Andrew Peasley, Jack y and Peter Larkin consti- tuted a rough-and-ready quartet, con- teibuting iargely to the boisterous ole- ment of life on the Comstock early in the '60s They had been New York fire- men, and were prominent in the organi- ation and management of the volunteer fire department of Virginia City, suys the San Francisco Call. They were also connected at intervals with the police department, and assisted in the develop- ment of many of the wildeat mines in the neighboorhood. They were cool, courageous and loyal to their friends, but abrupt to their enemies, and not al- s considerate of the rights of others when in their hamorous or exhilarated moods. All of them have passed to the final accounting, Perry, the last of the four, dying in San rancisco three or vears ago. dsall was a large, with a ready and grasping measureless” fund of paraly tive at h ymmand. stop aclock with profane abuse of it in woras. At the breaking out of the re- bellion he and his companions developed into staunch union men and were danger- ously incensed at the slurs cast at the New York fire zouaves by rebel sympa- thizers after the first battle of Bull Run. Among the most reckless of the south- erners on the Comstock was Tom An. drews, who openly expressed his grati fication at the rough haundling of the five Zouaves by his confederate friends. One morning Tom strode maj 1y into a restaurant on C street, Virginia City, and discoverod Birdsall breakfast- ing on codfish balls. With a sneer at the dish and a remark that no gentle- man would eat the Yankee compound, Tom seated himself at an adjoining table and ordered his breakfast, ~ A fow minutes later Bivdsall ordered another plate of codfish bulls and quietly and smilingly took a seat at Tom’s table. Being served, over the codfish ke poured half a pot of mustard and about the same quantity of salt and cayenne pep- per, he slowly mixed the mass, while Tom was buttering his wafiles and fur- tively glancing at the strange proceed- ing. Then, with one hand shoving the firey and nauseating mess under Tom's nose across the table, and with the other drawing a six-shooter. Bivdsall curtly id: *‘Eat it, Tom! »m put his hand behind him, Jon't try to pull your gun, Tom," ve- marked Bivdsall in a low voice, levelling his rovolver. “If you do I'll fill you full of holes.” “You've got the.drop on me, Georee,” said Tom, withdrawing his d from the handle of his pisto “You can bet your life T have, and that T will play it for all it's worth,” re- plied Birdsall, with a look that meant mischief. *“I'll make youeither acorpse or a Yankee before you get out of your seat. Lat, and be quick about it!" “But George! “Eut!” was the only response. Tom thought best to comply, and with tears in his eyes and vows of vengeance in his heart proceeded to choke down a part of the abominalle mixture, “There, that will do, Tom,” said Birdsall, rising from his seat. **You needn’t eat any more of the codfish un- less you have learned to like it,” and he left the restaurant fully expecting his victim to follow him, pistol in hand. But the affair ended without bloodshed. Tom left Virgin‘a City two days after for Pioche and never returned to the Comstock.

The following morn- | ing General Grant vode out to tmy divis- ion and [ asked him if he had any spe cial orders to give me as to ti in which I should open the fight, and he suid only to ‘move out in that divection,’ moving his hand toward the vebels, and to use my own judgment after that. “Did he tell you Buell’s army had ar- {ved and was then on the fields “No, [ did not know that Bucll had arrived until after dinner, when 1 saw the troops on my ieft waver as though they were goi ak npe They w netantly halted and put through the manual of arms while under a heavy five, then at the word forward,’ they went for the wvebel column head like veterans.

It would have been glor luus news to all of us, und and he | | at the post exchange | frequ | that the He could almost | | will be everybody with confidence and made a wonderful differ- nce i our fighting, though we did our level best.” Poffer's Anti- Whinky il enator Peffor is classed as a prohibi- tionist sinco the introduction of a bill a fow days ago prohibiting, after July 1 next, the ‘‘salo of spiritous, vinous malt, or other intoxicating liquors, or any fluid mixture of any character or deseription which produces intoxication on the grounds or within the boundaries of any United Statos military post or military reservation or national soldiers home, éxcept for medical purposes on the preseription of a post surgeon, or for mochanical or sciontific purposes,’ ot Any willful violation of this law is | to bo declared as a felony and pun ished, says the New York Tribunc.
