Wo returnod from our last raid into Tennesse<
with Dr. Becker under arreat. 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

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 '

of the Doctor's, was always elevated, h
ghtly and polished. It was always a ideas- a

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

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

Joe Homer, lie came to us from the regular
service, and soldiering was his avocation in lite.
1 do not suppose he knew or cared anything
about the principle involved in the war. 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

Ip for they know the accuracy of our practice too

I can say further that my case is not an
isolated one. A lady, a customer of inino,
was suffering from a cancerous affection of

could get but litllo or no relief. About a

her to try the S. S. S. remedy. She did
so, and in a few weoks was much better.
Sho had several operations porforuicd, and
' was disposed to hold oo (o her old troat1

all aside but tho S. S. S., and in two
