It was my fortune during the war to be with Gen. Lee in his Maryland cam paign opposing Qen. McClelland, who was the most able general thar Gen. Lee ever fought against. After our stay in Maryland for several weeks. Gen. Lee saw that he could not trans port rations for his army and not wanting to forage on the country for rations for his army, he decided to re turn to Virginia, crossing the Poto mac river. When he commenced his return to Virginia, the Yankees were in close pursuit and aR we marched in col umn, men were frequently wounded v.-hil lu line. Gen. Lee not wanting to ? pushed on too hard decided to give .hem battle, then making us u short speech said: "Soldiers wo will have to give them battle again and I hope you will treat them as you have always done." Then there was a detail of men from each company for the skirmish line. As the orderly of ray Company was calling over the names' alphabetically the captain said to me: "Pinson you had as well volunteer they are sure to get you anyway." Then we were onlred to report to Lieut. Fields in front. This we did, but were told to wait until the others caine, then we were ordered to deploy saying "uow men hump yourselves and go at double Quick with trail arms and get to that rock fonce In front." We gained the fence and gave a whoop us much us to say "we mean to stay bore." Now Gen. Lee had formed his line, of battle as he supposed fac ing the epemy, but was mistaken, ,then had to reform his lines another way that was facing them. Then the battle commenced, Lee with his 40,000 men and McClellan with his splendid army of ?7,000 The fighting was desperate and the grand eur of the sight, was beyond descrip tion, as our pickets gazed upon the scene, we looked over the plain and could see the pickets on the Yankee side were doing the same as well as I can remember Lee'B line fell back some fifty yards, then they / faced about, reformed and fought on,4 In the mean time I was uneasy for fi ar that ! they might force Lee J>ack. rt oegan to think cf myself, just how ? wouici get away In safety from that picket line. When the fight had commenced 1 the men on the picket line quit firing I at each other and stood gazing at thc battle as lt was going-on. This fight waa a drawn battle and many killed on both sides. . Then the battle closed for the night both armies lying on their arms. Al! this was near the Potomac river. General Lee that night called his generals together ?nd consulted at best what to do. Gen. Jackson ad vised him to cross the river that night but Gen. Lee replied "Nd. we will ? Mhrttt?m' ?^antTWmorbwr^ " Every thing was quiet ?ext morning. Gen Lee cent Cur.. Jackson ?uu his ebie! ouuginoer. Cot. Lee to a certain place indian Mound, toling them they codi?] ride .so far and they would havo tc dismount, walk and crawl to react this place, thou took observation! ' with their field glasses Leo remark lng to Jackson: "Why General Jack son a chicken rooster could not Uv< , in front of that line," meaning the In fan try and Artillery being BO well lo i cated and covering the entire from Thc next day ?he two armies lay front lng each other all day, no fighting a . all that night. f Gen. Lee hsd moved a part of hh artillery across the river to use in casi the enemy foiiowed- bun tn crossinj , the river. After we crossed the sol diers seemed as game as ever. Gist to get back into Virginia, gl?4 to res a Jrhlle, but sttll willing to do om best. Willing yea, more than wllllni to do anything on tbe face of the earu that "Mafse" Robert wonld have u: do.

We then learned we were not as tired or sleepy either, as we hod thought. My horse, Joe, was browsing between the. enemy's approach and where I lay dozing flat upon the grouud. The firing waked me just in time to jump astride Joe aa he dashed by and I lost no time or aim 1 nmaklng good the mount. Lieut, James H.

Being unwill ing to believe he was going to join the enemy c . fight them single handed, curiosity- somehow succeeded in twist ing me right shout face, without checking my course nr sneed, however, sufficiently for me to wltpess a des perately daring act.
