I lu the deaths of Daniel J Halliday, Thos j
j J. Tnmnal 8nd J?s F. B:owo the nu.ks of
I the survivors of Garden's (Palmetto) Batters.,
j Longstreet's Corps, Hood's-Field'3 Division. ;
J A N. V. t:av? been soddenly and rapidly
i diminished within the past three week?
! These three men were all battery drivers and
were faithful and dutiful solders. Ciarg?d 1
with the prosy duty of carine fer their teamt
during battle they were naturally not moved
to that high pitch of ardo- and enthusiasm
that was inspired by being "Dear the flasb
iog of the guns" and actively engaging in
the conflict and which so greatly assisted in
keeping one's "courage to the sticking
point." Yat these men did not flinch from
duty, ?or quail at the sound of the bogle no
matter bow perilous the call.
Au episode connected with Dan Holliday is
worthy recounting just now, and occurred OD
the 9 mile road, north of Richmond, on the
extteme left of Lee's battle lioe, dar og the
last days of the mighty struggle. Wbile
Dan's gun waa pitching sbrapnell and scat?
tering cannister into the serried rack? of tbe
charging columns of the enemy, the dis?
mounted cavalry support gave way (Cavalry
was seldom worth a d- dime unless mount?
ed) and tba blue coats and black faces of
negro troops came cUmberiog over tbe breast
works. Io a gallant effort to save bis piece
Dan galloptd up bis team and limber chest,
tbe gun was quickly limbered ap and tbe
gunners dashed for liberty and escaped ; but
before Dan's wheel borsea could get out of
reach he was knocked from the saddle by a
musket in the hands of a negro soldier, but
they didn't get Dao though they captured
the gua and held it for the space of - about
30 minutes There was a wise and masterly
retreat of officers and men, as, by reference
to Sam F Flowers, Esq , can be more fully
and at large related, a9 that was one credita
ole race in which Sam is said to have occu?
pied the lead from start to finish, against all
competitors It was a time to run, a3 deser
{ tions at that time were frequent and captures
too willingly submitted to.
Another incident connected with this oc?
currence was an exhibition of cool judgment
manifested by a mere boy, in bis early teens,
named Cox, from North Carolina, who had
in some way connected himself with the bat?
tery. Cox saw and realized the danger of
the capture of the gun and the probability of
its being turned upon the retreating squad;
so be picked up the tray tr j limber (am?
munition) chest, placed it on bis bead a la
Ssh menge: and made bis short legs twinkle
for the rear. The enemy bad the gOD, the
team and tbe ammunition bnt were utterly
helpless to 6re a shot for Cox had all the im?
plements on bis bead and his tar heels were
j digging the ground too far to overtake. The
j finale quickly came with the cyclonic advent
j upon the scene of that rapid fighter, Gen
j Mart Gary, with his worthy followers What
i then ? Well it was "short, sharp and deci
? sive," and a small, silent and stoneless cem
I etery doubtless still occupies the ground j
! thereabouts, and the gun was oniv surren- |

j A tf.d occurrence happened at Elliott OT j
j yesterday ar>out noon Tue smaller children j
I of i?rs. acd Mr. John H. Skinner were ames- ?
! mg themselves in the back yard. Mr S. w&s j
j absent and Mrs S. w?3 in the front yard j
j tfheo she beard screams and rushed to b>r j
j children only to find ber 6 year old daughter j
! enveloped in fiancs Ciughi from a small fire i
in the yard Mis S wrapped ber own dress
about the child and was severely burred m
ber motherly efforts to subdue the flimes.
Two others of the childieo were also burned
somewhat in trying to save their sister but
all to no avail. The little one liogered in
repeated convulsions for ll hoars and d;ed
last night. It is but proper to 9tate here?
with that we are reliably informed that the
roving camp of horse traders, erroneously
called Gypsies, with their wives, extended
every offer of kindness, sympathy and atten?
tion to the stricken family and were of sub?
stantial and valuable assistance under the sad
circumstances. Verily "One touch of nature
makes the whole world kio."
