CHAPTER T "Now no more the drum Provokes to arms, or trumpet's clangor shrill, Affrights the wives or chills the virgin a blood." ? The late civil war, terrible in itt character and disastrous in its results, Ix?a ended, but the many stirring scenes and painful trials to which it gave rise, and the daring heroism ani fortitude thai, were displayed, wil never be obliterated from the mindi of those now living, and will fnrnisl themes ou which future generation! will dwell with wondering and curiou interest. The pen of the historial will fail to chronicle many of tb eveuts and incidents of thoso excitiuj and trying days, but story and son? will gather them up aud hand theu down decorated and embellished witl the garlands of romance and th colorings of fancy. It was about the middle of May in thc year 1862, that the write visited Vifginia for the first timi1 He went on business connected wit) a South Carolina brigade, then com manded by the heroic and lamente Maxcy Gregg. He found the brigad encamped among the hills of Spot sylvania, some five or six miles froi Fredericksburg. The Con fed erat forces had evacuated that town som weeks before and fallen back te) th strong position they then held, i expectation of the advance of th Federal army, whose numerous cai tonments could be seen spread ovc tho plains and heights of Stafforc beyond the Kappahannock Hive: A new picket lino had been forme by the Confederates along the Nortl ern side of the Massaponix, a sma river that runs, at this point, almos parallel with the Kappahannock, int which it empties some distance belov This picket line was about th? milos from Fredericksburg. Som Federal troops lind occupied tin place, and it was thought the mai body would cross the river as soon i their preparations were complete. aud advance in tho direction < Rici imoiid. Thus posted tho tw armies watched each other, and fi several weeks nothing occurred e: cept some slight skirmishing on tl < uitposts. The Massaponix, which is nothir. more than a pretty brooklet babblir along its pebbly bed, runs throne, one of the most beautiful valleys th; we ever beheld. It appeared to 1 then charming in tho extreme, e tending for about a mile on eitlu side of the stream and windin :iccording to its course, as far as tl eye could see, covered with gre* fields of wheat, oats and clover. C the sides of the valley, scattered he and there on the gentle slopes ar slight plateaus formed by the shel mg hills, were tho residences of tl farmers, each with its cluster of ou buildings, surrounded by shrubbei aud flower gardens and half biddi from view by magnificent shade tree Numerous sleek cattle lazily cropjx tho clover on the rich and verdai pastures, or reclined contentedly i their favorite retreats. On every far there wore well filled granarios, o chards that produced the finest i upples, pears and cherries, and co dairies filled with tho most delieioi milk and butter. Such were some the beauties and comforts that su rounded the happy dwellers in tl valley of the Massaponix lt was i enchanting sceuo, &ndr accustomed, as wo had been to the level and mo? notonous plains of Carolina, it filled ns with rapture and delight. But the demon of war was about to invade that quiet and peaceful scene, mar its beauty and destroy its happiness. What a pity that so much rural beauty, and so much Iranian comfort and bliss, should bo sacrificed to the brutal passions and mad ambition of man. Let no one boast of the progress of the ago again nut il civilization and religion shall have subdned the powers of darkness and controlled the hearts of men to such a degree that States and nations will adopt a leas cruel and barbarous arbiter of their disputes th au the sword. All that delightf ul region was, doubtless, completely desolated, for it was in that immedi? ate vicinity aud perhaps along that identical valley that some of tho fiercest and most sanguinary battles were subsequently fought. It wit? nessed brilliant displays of military genius and lofty and heroic courage ; but alas! who shall sum up tho fear? ful cost at which they were exhibited. On the South side of the valley, and about half a mile from the brooklet, was the residence of John Early, one of the wealthiest and most intelligent farmers in that part of tho country. The house was a handsome and sub? stantial structure, with large vino clad piazzas or verandas on two sides, embowered in a grove of magnificent oaks, and surrounded by finely orna? mented grounds. Immediately around the dwelling was a neatly and taste? fully enclosed yard, covered with green grass, and sprinkled here and there with roso bushes of snowy white and blushing red. A number of well arranged and convenient out? buildings, completed tho picture. The whole place bespoke plenty, ease and comfort. Opposite the Enrly mansion, and some two miles South of it, was the camp of Gregg's Carolina brigade. A plain country road led from the camp to the farm, and, passing on the West side of the house, ran on North, across the valley, in the direction ot Fredericksburg. On that road, about a mile from the point where it crossed the brooklet, au infantry picket had been placed, where one company was gonerally on duty. This company was relieved by a fresh one from thc camp, every day, and these compa? nies, in marching to and from theil post, passed directly by the hon yt and through thc farm, lt was no) known to tho Carolinians whethei the owner of that splendid farm was well or ill-affected toward the caust of the South; but, composed, as they were, at that time, of. the elite am flower of the State, and, as yet, un corrupted by the demoralizing iuflu onces of camp-life, they would hav< scorned to commit the slightest depre dation on private property, whethei it belonged to friend or foe. Mr. Early was a Virginian of th? old school, frank, high-toned am hospitable. He possessed a enltivatet and well-balanced mind, and had i fair share of hereditary pride of cha racter. Though fifty winters and up wards had passed over his head slightly silvering his locks with grey he was still hale and strong, the lus tre of his eye was undimmed, am his step was firm and elastic. lu hi youth, lie had been handsome, am was still prepossessing and noble ii appearance. Having an ardent an? impulsive nature, he was warm am vehement iu his likes and dislikes and was an intense lover of the Ol? Dominion. Virginia Avas all the worl? to him, and he behoved there wan u< country under Heaven her equal Ho revered the memory of Washing ton, was firmly attached to the Unioi of the States, and did not believe ii the secession doctrines of Sont] Carolina. Though conscious that hi section had been wronged mid op pressed, he thought it best to see redress by methods that w?;ro clear! within the pale of tho Constitution and would not bo attended with th perilous risk of war. Hut the issn had been joined, his Stu to had mad common cause with her Southern sis ters, and, though lie did not love th Union less, he loved Virginia mort and ho found his fortunes inevitabl; cast with those of tho South. But, though fortune had smiled oi Johu Early, and he was blessed wit every material comfort and enjoj ment of life, ho had boen very unfoi t?nate in his domostic relation.' Death hail visited his household, au he had draine?! the cup of sorrow t its bitterest dregs. A few years bf fore, ho had lost his wife, a lovel and estimable woman, to whom h was tenderly and ardently attach?e and, of three children, the swee pledges of their wedded love, bu one was left him-an only daughtej Ellen Early, now some eightee years of age, had just returned froi school to her pleasant home, a beni tifnl and accomplished young lad^ She was of medium size, possesseil well-rounded ami symmetrical fora and a idear and brilliant complexioi Her face was of neither (?reciaii nc Hornau mould, but a blending ?.>f th chief beauties of both-th ! true: American type. The forehead wt fair a..?1 full, with exquisitely arche brows; the nose, neither too larc nor too small, was finely and del cately formed; the mouth was sinai with sound, oven teeth, as white : alabaster, and thin, ruby lips, who* soft, warm, velvety touch would huv thrille?! any oin? with pleasure wh was fortunate enough to receive kiss from them; on the polished an tiiegantly shaped chiu, there sti .mr lin gored some ol the dimples of child? hood; he? eyes, with long, dark, silky lushes, vere of the deepest and purest blue, but so bright and spark? ling, and withal so changeable, as difierent emotions swept the cords of her sensitive 'heart, that it was diffi? cult to tell their preciso color; her cheeks were tinged with those roseate hues which perfect health alone can give ; and a ' profusion of dark, lus? trous curls overspread her snowy neck and shoulders. Her hands and feet wore small and pretty, though the former often moulded tho balls of delicious butter, as well as drew sweet sounds from the piano; and the latter had many a time, in child? hood's gleosome days, with other lit? tle feet, paddled iu the limpid waters of the Massaponix. No wonder Ellen was the idol of her father's heart and the light of his home. lu her charm? ing society and the bright sunshine of her sweet smiles, he seemed to forgot his sorrows, and feel that he was not entirely deserted and alone in tho world. She was indued a love? ly and charming creature, and her gay songs and merry, ringing laugh? ter, banished grief and gloom from his house aud heart. But the dark clouds of war wcro approaching, and the domestic fcli-1 city of Mr. Early and his gifted j daughter were destined to be of short j duration. Ellon was aware ol the ! proximity of tho hostile armies, had noticed the soldiers with concern and interest, and watched them daily as they marched through the valley. The sight was strang? and novel to her, and it filled her maiden heart with vague and indefinable apprehen? sions of danger, lier daily duties and pleasures, however, had not yet been interrupted, and the compnra J tive quiet that .still reigned led her to hope-tho young aro always hopeful -that all would turn out well yet. and that tho dangers that threatened them would in some way be averted.
