LAST FIGHT l'hTh'RSlU IMJ. ItrllUuut Victory by lluslirotl Johnson's Division?A ToiicliluK Incident. Cupi. Il, . Jhtvie, NMh MnbmnnUeijiment, in C/iurf'Xton Weekly A'cm*. t)n the cold, drizzly morning of March 31, 18(15, Hush rod Johnson's Division, consisting of Ransom's North Carolina, Gracic's (then Moody's) Alabama, and McGowan'sSoutji Carolina Rrigndes, was drawn up in lino of battle two or time hundred yards in front of the extreme left of Lee's fortification-, near the "White Oak Road." Immediately in our Ironia slight hill, crowned hy a lot of "picket boles/' held by detachments from our command, and between us and the en trenchments, in our rear, an ugly lo >kiiig lot of "abattis." My recollection is lhat Ransom was on the right, our brigade (Moody's,! in the centre, and the South Carolinians on our left. The rain came down cold,disagree ably and continuously, and olirmeli were instructed before breaking ranks lo li bayonets and secure the loaded guns by driving the bayonets into the ground in line, ready to the batid when the line was re-formed" They were further instructed to hold themselves in readiness tore-form ata moment's warning, to break ranks amigli breakfast. Thoce who hail the honor of following ''Marse Hob" up to .March, 1805, will readily agree that a breakfast outside the entrenchments on such a morning was noi a very ceremo nious aflair. The limited amount of "hard tack" and "Nassau" in our haver sacks was now disposed of, and myself in company with others of my command soon straggled up to the picket holes on the hill to see what we could see and hear about our very enterprising friends, the "Yanks." ? War-worn hardened old veterans we were by this time, though many of us young in years, and looking back to those 'ays spent in "Wearing of the Cray,'' i can recall bill two subjects of interest that occupied our thoughts and the little (catt uro that inarching, fighting, picket duty and latterly work on the breastworks left on our bands. These were, first and of supreme import, and secondly, a good hing ways behind, "tin: Yanks." Now, if it is a waste ol' lime to do a great deal of Uiinking about a very small mat ter, the average Con fed in the Inst months of the war wasted an immenso deal of thai valuable commodity in thinking about ijrith, for the subject matter had become not only decidedly small in quan tity but of very indifferent quality. Still it occupied the greater part of nur thoughts, leaving only u small, languid sort of surmise as to what the Yanks were up to, and it was in answer to this last proposition that we went oui on the picket lino. I had been on the line about half an hour chatting with the boys and rather cautiously inspecting the enemy's skir mish line which had been established sometime during the night, about two hundred yards to tho front, when my at tention was called to the head of a col umn of blue, away down to our left, inarching north towards our right, par allel to our line and but little to the rear of their skirmish line. Our pickets had orders not to lire ; in fact there was no firing along the line from either side. The head of the column, marching in silence at quick timo in beautiful order, soon passed our punition, followed by regiment after regiment until I supposo at least two brigades had gone to the right. They were then hulled, "closed up," fronted, wheeled into column of platoons, stacked arms, broke ranks and ?et to tearing down fences to make tires, and were soon busy boiling coffee as com fortably as you p?case, evidently intent on having good square meal there and then. We wcro quite close enough to see that our gallant-looking foes belonged to Wurreo's Corps (having u white club on tho left breast, I believe.) Wo had resented the first appearance of "these people" marching in that direc tion, an evidently threatening tho South Side road. Wo had become pretty well accustomed to their occupancy "of our eastern front, and the country down tho Appomattox and the James. We had, after severe contests, given up to them the Petersburg and Welilon road. We hud disputed the Hatcher's Kun section, foot by foot, in vain, hut this was tho "uukiudost cut of all" to pass around to our extreme right, with m lacs prepense, to cut us off from Lynchburg, and still furlhi. reduce our almost starvation scale of rations, No, sir, this would not do, and then the extremely cool way the ras cals had of completely ignoring our pres ence along our picket lines, not even do ing us the honor of an occasional shot from their skirmishers, to make things interesting, nnd tho crowning imperti nence of all, to waft to our hungry lus trile tho delicious perfumes of "rale got ?wino" coffee and the appetizing odor of broiled meat. Ob. it was too much, and to Buy the least of it, wo wet, cold and hungry, wero also mail. Hreakfast over tho Yanks took arms, wheeled back into lino and, instead of resuming their march to our right as wo expected, moved straight on our pickets. Now this looked tike business. "All right, (thought I) old fellows, if that's your game. I guess you don't kuow any thing about our buys down at the foot of the hill, though." Our pickets opened at once, glad of the c'lanco. while our stngtrlers started on th? run for tho command, crying : "Fall in, men, tho Yanks aro coming." Our lines were instantly re formed. Arms resumed, bayoneta unfixed and thrust into scabbards, and by common impulse, ns I beliove, for I heard no order from any superior officer, the entire lino moved forward at double-quick to tbo support of the pickets. Every man in that line was too old a soldier and too good tac tician to allow the enemy the advantage of such a punition on our front, and with such tangled mass of felled timber in our rear. Reaching the picket lino our men par tially re-formed, pouring one very effec tive fire into tho advancing enemy, now not more than ono hundred nnd fifty yards away. Reloading rapidly the Con federates sprang forward with tho "yell," and a moment after were in a small de pression immediately in front of our pickets, out of sight of the Yanks who had not yet tired a gun. I remember thinking that as wo rose the next hill we would be very close together nnd the en emy would sweep us off the earth, but on we weut up the little hill and there, just in our front, not forty yards away, was the solid blue line coming alrnigbt on. Seeing us they instantly halted, threw their guns to the shoulder and "pulled down" on us. Not one in live ol their guns fired, and we heard the dull snap of the hammers as they fell on the water soaked cups. Our lime came next, and a doso deadly fire mowed down their lines like grain before a reaper. Confusion, panic, deadly fear seemed to possess tbem at once, and in an instant those lines, till now so gallant and steady, wavered, broke, nnd the glad, ringing sboi't of tho exultant Rebs lent wings to their disorderly and very uosoldtorly flight. No attempt was made to rally them that I could see, certainly none in my immediate front. In the eagerness Of pursuit our men soon lost their align ment as completely as the enemy, nnd the engagement from that moment was a mero sort of puraher and pursued. Who bad command I do not know. 1 saw but ouo general officer on the field during the entire advance. I recollect seeing not a single commander or regiment or battal ion. It was, to use a very expressive army phrase, a "Company Q fight," in which every man took care of bin self. Regiments, nay brigade, became inextri cably intermixed. My own regiment having.lost Its flag a few days before on Hatcher's Bun, I found myself at one time with only a half dozen of my com puny away to the left am.mg the "Tar Heels." hut they were good enough fel lows to go "forward" will). While down there I was accosted by (Jen. McGowan, and ordered rather peremptorily to the rear. I had appropriated a Yankee's overcoat and the gallant South ( 'arolinian mistook me for a "Bluebclly." I, how ever, opened the overcoat and showed him my not very brilliant Confederate uniform. He begged my pardon and asked me where his brigade was. I told him I liad indeed lost my regiment, but had an idea that if I had a brigade, ami a horse to keep up with it. I helievol I might oe abb to do so. The General laughed ami rode oil'. He was the only oliicer I remember seeing above ihe rank of captain alter the light connu mei and until, having doubled Warren back of his supports, we were compelled lo fall back in our turn to Olir original position, which we did without interference from j the foe. I doubt not that every brigade and regimental oliicer with the command was in the light, but what i intend to ! :onvey is the idea that so far a> my servation extended there was no com uni nd taken of the Confederates, and the light, which Was a v< ry suce ssfu! one, was iliade by the tm ?. It was currently reported lifter the fight that we had captured lume men t tan We had carried into it. I knov ihat we had more guns ami accoulreu cuts, knapsacks, and everything exivi>'. grub, 'bau we knew what to do with or could 'jrjng ; !!' the field, :;::;! ive !o t but very few men. We were naturally jubilant, and mir faith in the prowess of Marse I Job's army as renewed and reinforced alter the ilight doubl that buti crept into our Hinds since the disasters at Hatcher's, at Kort Sicari man ami the loss of the I*. and \V. I toad. Everything was all right low. The spring lights hail opened in arnest and we would show tirant the vay the wind lay if he just tried that ou igni il. i remember an incident in the morn ng's light possessing the elements of {rim humor. Lieut, .lohn Leonard, of .Sanford's Alabama Regiment, on coming ip to adverted farm house a little to itir Ii It trout, found behind it. a single :'unfed and five Yankees, The Cooled aid : "Lieutenant, piense take care of these prisoners until I load my gun." He had reached the bouse ahead of his line, with an empty gnu, intending t<> triad it in the shelter of the house. At this time the front ol the Yankee line on illr right had given away, ami endeavor ing to reach their supports they were passing the house in squads and the "Johnny" found himself in danger id capture, so he boldly drew down his piece and succeeded in capturing live Yanks instead. At one lone 1 found myself trolling down a little hill in com pany with a homely, honest looking North Carolinian ; the fierce joy of vic tory lit up his bronzed face like generous wine. "A soft thing, ain't it ?" be said, as we trotted side by sirle. Reaching the level at the foot of the. hill we slacked down to a walk. I saw the white smoke poured out from the edge of the woods filly yards in our front. At the same installi I lieurrl the thud of the ball as it struck my companion. I turned ami the blood was spurting from a wound in the very m idd io of his forehead. His gray wool hat, knocked oil' by Hit! ball, wits still in the air. It tell behind him. He turned around, stnoped down, picked it up, straightened up again, put his haton his head ami turned his face once more t.o lin; front. Then a tremor seized him ; he slowly sank down dead. The ball bail penetrateli his brain. Roor fellow ! Rut he (lied in the very llush of victor^ with his face to the foe, and never knew that this was our last light around Petersburg. Religion at Home. If a man wants to know what he is, ho -an find it out pretty well by watching himself for a lew days when he is at home. Ho cannot judge himself at all by what he shows himself to the world. He cannot guess how far he is kind ami Miouglitful and courteous by what his Companions in pleasure or his business acquaintances fimi him. These people have him mure or less in their power, and will nvoid him or make his life very un comfortable' if he is coarse ami ill-man nered. He must, for his own sake, be on iiis good behavior when he goes from un der his own roof. When he comes home, then he is (esteri. How does he look and peak and act with those who are in his power, whose love he takes for granted, with whose patience he can fake liber ties, who dare not retaliate, who can not leave him ? What is his manner with Iiis parents, his wile, his brothers and his children ? Do they find him what he likes to be thought by those outside, whoso good will aud good words ho wauls to win or keep? Charity begins al home. It ought to tio so. The nrneticer of tho Simili courto fdes of life is a purl of charily, without which no man, whatever his wealth or rank, has a right to the mimo of Christian or gentleman. That which is all spent ( ut of d.'Ors. nud on the members of oth er men's families, isa worthless fraud. If a man can noi be kind and well mat ? tiered ho is tobo pitied; but if he can, eurcly those who bear his name and share his homo have tho strongest and first claim. Ho would nut allow any ono tlse to bo rude to his mother or si "ter? what right has he to be so himself? Ho ought to be as thoughtlui and polite to his o.vn sisters ns to sisters of his friends. He insults himself if he treats his wife as if she had no claim to tho courtesy ho shows os matter of course to his neigh bor's wife. People who only meet men from home would often wonder could they see them at home. Many a girl would be dived from a sad marriage could Hhe see the mau who wants to win her when he goes back to his mother and sister. .She would know tho valilo of tho rufincd milliner and thoughtful gentleness that mask the vulgarity of a bully and a coward. She would understand what she might expect when he had grown accustomed to her as his drudge nnd slave, on whom his ill temper might he safely let loose and who might be set to any work he pleased with out any ceremony or any thanks. An Incident of the War. Arlemos Ward said ho would "love to die for his country, but if it wns nil the same to tho country, he would rathe die of old age. An amusing unecdote which shows that Artemus' philosophy is widely enter tnined, is told by a writer in the Phila delphia Time*. It wns told by one of our boys who was present at tho battle of Murfreeshoro, Tenn. When the lines of both armies wero advancing lo a charge, a rabbit, or more properly u bare, was aroused from his privato seclusion immediately in front of the Confederate line, and went bounding away to tho security of the hills, making at each jump a largo exhibit of whito bunting. In the line there was a groat raw-boned North Georgian who was celebrated for his indomitable courage and reckless bravery. He had tho reputation of being will ing to fight anything, nnd was supposed not to know the meaning of fear, but bis apostrophe to the vanishing rabbit not only put tho matter in a ditferent light, but caused a burst of laughter from all who heard it. He said: "Go it, little cotton tail ! Go while you've a chance. I'd run, too, if I didn't have any more reputation at stake than you've got I" Too poor fellow never returned from the charge. li? bad lost his chanco of running. Tb9 Albany ( . Y.)
