V&oce, firm lieutenant of Company F (Bibb's Graye), 11th Alabama Regi ment, Wilcox's Old Brigade, at that time commanded by Gen. John C. C. Saunders, j The morning before the desperate aad bloody hattie I was in charge of the picket Hoe immediately in front of our camp. About ten o'clock, while I was standing on an embank ment which had been thrown up for protection, the Federal pickets being just in front, Gen. It. ?. Lee rode up and dismounted. Stepping to my side, he asked: "Lieutenant, have you noticed any unusual movement of the enemy?" Bringing my sword to a salute, I replied: "I have not. Look out, General, do you see that tree? There is a sharpshooter in the top of it." At that moment I ssw a cuff of smoke, heard the whix of a bullet sod the disoharge of the gun, sud the missile ended the life of a pioket just relieved ss be lay io his tent. Goo. Leo stopped down from the embank ment, remounted bis horse, and rode away. We were expecting something unusual to happen, it having been rumored that Gen,. Grant was prepcr ing to blow uo up. On the morning of July 30, about sunrise, we heard a mighty noise that shook the earth. Soon Saunders' Brigade was ordered from the right to tho left, and moved up a ravine front" ing the Orator. It was here that Gen. Mshone made a speeoh to the brigade, telling them that they had been seleoted to make a desperate oharge and that Gen. Lee would be present with him to witness their achievement. Gen. Lee was sitting on his horse in ? cluster of trees near by at the time, scanning the Federal movements with his field glssses. Gen. Mahons com* I plimented the men and officers of the j brigade as Alabamians, who never j failed to disoharge their duty to their country at any peril. Then the brigade was ordered for? ward. Arriving at the top of the slope, we marched straight forward cut into the open field, in full view of the Grater and under a heavy fire from the Federal musketry and oancon. The men were then ordered to front faoe and "Forward to the Grater'* through a continuoua fire of musketry, grape, and oanister. When a soldier waa shot down, the order was passed along the line, "Glose up, men," and I never saw a prettier,,lino kept on dri?. Arriving oiose to (he c?derais, who were in the Crater sad ditoheo, the order carno dova the line" from Gen. Saunders, "Fire and oharge bay onets!" and with a yell that tended to drown the rattle of musketry, the screeching of aballa, and tba moen of i the dying, into the ditohes the brigade weet. ;T. . Words fail me to describe the scene that followed. Gen. PTatone had told the soldiers of the bigada that negro troops Were in possession of the Crater and had eome in yelling, "No quarter for the Rebelst" He did not say, "Shaw ?qv quarter," but Saunders* mea decided that point. Having driven these negroes out of the first lina of ditches, Gen. Saun? dors, ever on heed, shirking no den? ger, dashed to tba front on bia beauti ful bleak charger and ordered me to take my company and go over the em bankment that had been thrown up by the explosion. Giving thia order to my company, we climbed to the top of the embankment. Lieut. Harkness, of Company C, waa toon by my aide waving the colors of the regiment and shouting to the boya to "Come on!" At that moment a big* negro aoldier down in the pit railed his gun aad Gred, sending abell through my leg, v/hioh grated the bone above the itaee. My leg waa' paralysed for a mo- j men?, and ? fell forward, int o the'pit on top of the negro. ., T , , ' . Then it was, who will ger the" best of it? ; The negro bad a large spring back dirk in one hand, and made! a desperate effort to thrust it into\ me. I grasped the negro's hand, holding it fast end making an effort with my right hand to run my sword through him; but 1 oould not do so, owing to the smallness of the pit. lu this situ ation but one thing waa (aft for me to do; that was to hug the negro and wait until my man came to my assist ance. Meanwhile I had to inhale an odor equaled only by a skunk. My comrades came to my relief none to toon, as I waa growing weaker and weaker j from loss of blood, tfa^sy plunged their bayoneta through tina negros*s body. One ef my company, Fred James, now living near Center ville, Ala., gave the nsgro a blow ba the top o? hU head that killed him. By this time sigh* bad set in. and I waa f placed "upon a /litter made \ot blankets by com* of my comrades and carried back lo the rear. I was ex ORIES. 3 Crater Battle. hausted from loss of blood aod death ly oick. Oa reaching tho field hos pital I waa placed upon a rough table. I still had tho dirk knife in my hand, and laid it by my side. When the surgeon began to examine my wound, probing into it, I was kept so busy watohiog him for fear be would cut my leg off that I forgot all about tho knife, and never saw it again. When the war broke out, Gen. Saunders and I were together at the State University. We were dose friends. He was a modest man, a tried and true soldier. [At the reading of the foregoing there was present a sister of Gen. Saunders, who was introduced by Comrade McLaughlin to Camp Har* dee.]-Confederate Veteran. Confederate Cartridges at Appomattox. [J. B. Birdlebnugh, who served oooseontively in three New York regi ments, 1861 65, now of Madison,Tenn.] Tba great War between the States left in the minds of the survivors msoy interesting inoideots, both pa thetic and humorous. Msny of these survive only in the hesrts of oomrsdes (on either side) and are buried with them when they die. I. wili relate one incident of the sur render of Lee at Appomattox of whioh I was an eye witness. I never but ucee saw it referred to in print. I will tell it as it was for the benefit of Veteran readers. On the day of capitulation, April 9, 1865, or it may have been the follow ing day, April 10, our corps,/ the 5 tb. was drawn up in two lines to receive the arms of the Confederates. They marohed up by brigades and divisions in the little main street of Appomat tox C. H.. stacked arms, onkuekliog their belts, hung their accouterments on the eteok of guns and broke ranks, goiog wherever they were inclined, being fros oo parole. AU the arms were stacked--and, by the way, out of approximately thirty thousand men who surrendered that day only about ten thousand stands of small arms were surrendered. Whet became of the rest? Will some Confederate soldier who knows enlighten me? [There were not thirty thousand armed men tb oro.-Ed. Veteran.] Our ??oops soon thereafter started on the march to Burksville Jonction, utterly destitute of rations. There were no rations for either army, as wo "by order had divided equally with the Cv?**u???i?? mW that ; waa sn v. the quartermaster's stores.

One.of our ?en, ?''Poe" Smith, (not a-dootor),, seeing a chao co for some fan and not realising what tho result would bo, went to^ house near by and, getting a shovelful of coals and throwing them down into tba hole, began throwing m some of tha cartridges which had previously been taken out of tho boxes and emptied upon the ground. ? This made *a considerable diversion at the ticae. but shortly an officer made Ms appear* ! ance aud pat; o j stop . to ' tbs proceed fugs.Just about that time of j wind carried a spark up tho bank, and i in oa instent pandemonium broke ! loose.

While they were pur? suing the investigation another spark caught tho remainiog cartridges, ajad foy a fsw minutes th* .bullets flew tbiokcr and faster than they wero ever known, to in battle, ; All; were ooh* sumed.

Looking into tho future as with a prophciio eye, he continued: "I do not know what we are going to do. We have no money, we have no niggers, and we have no credit. What we are going to do, God only knows. We most go to work." I have given the above almost word for word as I beard it, as it made such an impression on my mind that I have never forgotten it. I have often wished that I knew who this gallant and patriot'o captain was. Thank God! we are all Americans. We are a united people, and the combined armiee of the world cannot conquer us.

History, to deserve the name, should be true and impartial. The true oause of war does not always appear on the surface. The instigators prefer, for various reasons, to oooceal tho real motives for bringing it on. It WOB a common thing for the Federal soldiers to say they were fighting for the Union, seeming rather to say ?aal than to say they were fighting to free the negroes. The most frequent onus? assigned was the desire on the part of the people of the North to liberat< the negroes from slavery, based 01 feelings of philanthropy. Boraci I Greely, ?Bsrriet Ttaecher 8towe, Abra ham Lincoln and some others ma] have been co actuated, but tba pri'nei pal actors io the great drama looke< muon deeper. The real' motive to bringing on the war waa to get centro of the Federal government. To atteii this end ?no emancipation of th negroes waa necessary. The South by ita superior civilization and the in telligenoe of its oitisehs, had from it incipiency held the soeptre of govern ment. The fathers of the republic whose impress was most deeply fell were Southerners. In the- field, o the forum, in the halls of legislador, the South held full away. A larg proportion of the Presidenta had bee Southern men. Slavery afforded oj portunity for leisure and the neoessai means to become educated, aa well i the cultivation of those high and. -ai nobling qualities whioh have alwaj ch arco tori zed the Southern gentlemai In thia way it was the 8outh1 ai obtained control and held the reins < government.
