Ho was of tlia temperament that made him aa restless as thi waves of tlia sea and roving as a wild beast Whether in camp or on a march it was a matte: of chance if be was with the company whet needed. Colonel l'almor was a rigid disciplina rian, and bis orders against straggling and dep rcdations were strict and strictly enforced. Dt l?soh^asisna??eJe urrs at tnWTbrders aqd wa: pTacecT under arrest. The army regulations re quired charges to be preforred against the sol diers of the Confederacy within nine days aftei the arrest. Dr. B. bore his confinement witt unusual patience; but the moment his watcl olicked off the hour that ended the ninth da} he mounted his little gray pony and went dash ing up Main street, bowing and saluting every body, right and.left. Col. Palmer had forgottec all about the arrest, and on meeting the Doctor he said, " I forgot to issue the order for youi release. Will do so as soon as I return to mj office." Put yourself to no trouble, Col., I carry th< regulations in my pocket," and on he went. The Doctor was in his happiest mood whet discoursing music for tho benefit of others After much practice in vocal and instruments music, he gave two concerts at night on Batterj Porter. The two buglers, Joe Bennett and Jno, lloger, with a selection from the best voices it the compauy, made music to the satisfaction ol n.c i>iKo uuuieuvn nisi nonoreu me company with their presence on these delightful occasions. I can now see the men, dressed lo theii military costume, as they sang the then populai Southern airs with spirit and animation. 1 remember, when enchored back, with what emphasis they repeated : "Up with the bars and down with the stars, For Lincoln and his hireling crew cau never whip th< South." I believe it was from the last concert that Dr, Becker chanced to see a young lady home, whe iad gotten lost from her escort. The young nan took umbrage at what he regarded as an nterference on the part of tho Doctor, and leclared vengeance. Some of the Macbeth ieard the threat and followed the young man nto town to see that the Doctor was not harmed. Thoy were reported to one Mr. Gibson, an adutant on Gen. Palmer's staff, who felt bis importance far more than Qeneral _ .1" liouao. Oa returning lo Ik. ?mPb. Doctor pa.aeil tta. gu.rff beu?. ..4 ??4mi tome or Ik.

But our soldiers wei still jigilaut, active, resolute and hopefu Lieut. Porter and the writer had put up a snu little cabin on the Battery Porter hill, and wer as cozy during the chilly blasts of winter as i wo had been in some lordly palace. The mei were all correspondingly comfortably well ofl Outdoor amusements had been driven withii doors, and the young ladies of Asheville hai begun to give parties to which tho officers o the Macbeih were generally invited. The firs party we attended broke up about one o'clooV at night, that is, the officers returned to tho'u tamp at that hour. The next day it was whis (wren oq me streets that the officers of the Macbeth were lackieg in gallantry ; that the poung ladies at the party had no esoorts and sere left to get home as host they could. The mpression had been made ou our minds that he young ladies would remain all night, ami lence our notion. The matter was fully disusscd among us, and on starting to the next arty, a week or so afterwards, it was agreed <h* motion to M'liourn should come from be ladies. That night the ladies had gone to pond the night with the young lady who gave te party. Imagine, if you can, tho patience f the officers of the Macbeth as they waited om one o'clock till tho roveillo summoned tern from the parly to the company rolUcall, e noxt morning. The street talk that followed e previous party was the rock of offense over bick we stumbled into this, a worse predicamt than the first. We had watched the dial of ne as it registered one, Um, three and four dock, and wondered^tf^B interest that held i party together so 4HBd so well. When j uiiuf no ion, id answer to reveille at camp, [retting that, instead of redeeming ourselves, had given occasion for more oritioism. It was not a great while before we had anier opportunity to right ourselves. The party s time was at the widow Patton's, and a ulsome entertainment it was. The evening ) not only an enjoyable one, but wo had the ' asure of seeing the ladies to their respective ' nes. Then followed a delightful evening at 1 friends, the Midilletons. 1 itnoug other friends in Asheville that ws can ' er forget, were Dr. and Mrs. Chapman, 1 i Doctor was a warm-hearted Christian mln- * r, whose wisdom of words and genial spirit * le his society a source of pleasure and de- ' I. And his good wife, Mrs. Chapman, was 1 tble woman, with head and heart highly, ivaied. The tone of her conversation, like p of the Doctor's, was always elevated, h ghtly and polished. It was always a ideas- a I are M ia her oompeoy. I remember thet we ett? Ad a dinner party at the home of these hot) A3 ftiende.

Palmer for t*o Hy le report K Mi ofBcn, wtth throe How reluctantly that order mi obeyed, noni brtt the writer caa ever know. The detail wai promptly made and in less than one-half an hour ' the writer reported at headqnarters, with David Thomas, Charlie Garner aud Johl Wesley Simpson. Col. Palmer saiJ, in effect "it is reported that the enemy are advanoinf np I he French Broad,but it is so hard to get any thing reliable that I want you to go about tei milts down the river, to Alexander's bridge and find out all you can and report back heri in the morning." It was now nearly midnight, very dark, am a cold dritiling rain blowing in our face all tin way down the river. Scouting was a busines; in which we had no experience, and somethinj wholy out of our line of duty ; but it was sucl I a strong mark of trust and confidence in th< t Macbeth, on the part of Col. Palmer, that w< took some pride in executing the order. It wa k bad traveling that night, for it seemed as if w , were as often out of the road as in it. We hat reached our objective point but a few minute when a light come in sight far down the rive and on the opposite side. Tho water makes it way down the French Broad by being dashe [ from rock to rock. Some places the wave were high and in others very low. Sometime the waves ran higher than the light and gav it the appearance of being tossed up and dow > on the water. As soon as we ascertained thi it was in the hand of some one traveling up th stream we crossed the river and took a positio at the opposite end of the bridge. We wei ' very muoh relieved and aided in the informi tion wo were hunting by the arrival of a soldic who haibbeen home on a furlough ; for sue was the yTerson carrying the light that we ha ' been anxiously watohing. He had been dow below tlao Warm Springs and had neither see nor heani anything of the Yankees.

When we reached the position to which we were ordered, we hed no support whatever. The infantry had not appeared oe the field. The twenty men of the Macbeth w*o had been armed with muskets were deployed m sharp-shooters, under Lieut, liunch, and wre already hotly engaged when the infantry, tnder Col. Clayton and others, arrived. The Maobeth had alsi opened fire before any supiort reached the field. We were tiring, howvef? at the Federal cavalry on a hill beyoad thlr infantry, who had tAkcu shelter in a ravine blween us anil the cavalry. When the infancy arrived Col.

As they passed out o%tho nvine in *liich they had taken shelter and ovestbe hills beyond, we fired a few rounds at tta. Col.

There eras no reason why they eould not lave marched into our oamp before we had any nlimation of their presence, and captured us rithont ths flying of a gun.

It was simply his means of livelihood. Men usually change their business when it ceases to be remunerative. Homer's business had cease 1 to pay him. He was drawing irrogularly twelve dollars, in Confederate script, per month?loss than twonty-five cents in gold. Surely that was very little for a man to set himself up ng a target, to be shot at, when, virtually, it made no difference to him who won the prize. He was an Irishman of some noble impulses, and had great admiration for General Lee. When Lee and his officers held a consultation, just iu rear of the battery, at second Manassas, curiosity caused the men to gather about them. Gen. Lee, in a gentle fatherly manner, said, "friends, get back a little, we want to hold a conference here." The difference between his manners and the officers in the regular service, from which Homer had but recently come, made such an impression on him that he involuntarily gave expression to his emotion in e the following more forcible than eloquent lann guage : ' Boys, I would follow him to hell." it It was said that the enemy brought the dee sorters from the Macbeth back with them to n Asheville that morning, and they protested o against being brought within range of our guns, Ip for they know the accuracy of our practice too ir woll. Be that true or not, our practice was :h neTer so poor a. >n tlmt occasion. If we killed ,d or wounded a roan I never heard of it.
