J 8 Rogbioo k Co Answering The Last Boll Call "Let as cro?9 over tbe river and rest under the eb??de of ire trees " These historical woris from tbe lips of tbe ix mortal Jackson maj be very appropriately cotopaoio'ned by all old veterans, with that other otninons line : "One by one we cross the river." Iu the deaths of Daniel J. Holliday, Tbos J. Tnmnal and Jas F. Brown tbe ranks of tbe survivors of Garden's (Palmetto) Battery, Loogstreefs Corps, Hood's-Field'a Divisit-n, A N.V. hava been suddenly and rapidly diminished within tbe past three week*. These three men were nil battery drivers and were faithful and dutiful soldiers. Charged with the pros? duty of caring for their teami daring battle they were naturally not moved to that high pitch of ardo* and enthusiasm that was inspired by being "near tbe flash log of the guns" and actively engaging in tbe conflict and which so greatly assisted in keeping one's "courage to the sticking point." Ymi, ihsM men did not flinch from doty, nor quail et tbe sound of the bogle no matter bow perilous the call. An episode connected with Dan Holliday li worthy recounting juit now, and occurred oo the 9 mile road, oortb of Richmond, oo the extteme left of Lee's battle lioe, doriog the laet days of the mighty struggle. While Dan's gao was pitching sbrapoell and scat teriog eaaoieter la to the serried ranks of the ebarglog columns of tbs enemy, tbe dis? mounted cavalry support gavs way (Cavalry was seldom worth a d? dime anless mount? ed) aod tbe blae coats aod black faoae of negro troops came clambering over the breast works. Io a gallant effort to save hie piece Dan galloped op his team and limber chest, tbe guo was quickly limbered ap ana tbe gunners dashed for liberty aod escaped ; bot before Dan's wheel horses could get out af reach be was knocked from the saddls by a musket io the hands of a negro soldier, but they didn't get Dao though tbey captured the gua aod held It for '.he space of ? about 30 mioutea There was a wias and masterly retreat of officers and men, as, by reference to Sam P Flowera, Eaq , can be more fully and at large related, as that was one credita? ble race iu which Sam la aaid to have occu? pied tbe lead from atart to fioiab, against all competitors It was a time to run, as 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, io bis early teens, named Gox, from North Carolina, who had in some way connected himself with the bat? tery. Cox saw aod realised the danger of the capture of the gun and tbe probability of tie being turned upon the retreating equad; so be picked op the tray to the limber (am? munition) chest, placed it on his head a la fish monger and made his short legs twinkle for the rear. Tbe enemy had tbe gan, tbe team and tbe ammunition but were utterly helpless to 6re a shot for Cox bad all the im* plements on bis bead and his tar heels were digging tbe ground too far to overtake. Tbe finale quickly came with the cyclonic advent upon tbe scene of that rapid fighter, Qeo Mart Gary, with his worthy followers What then? Well it was "short, sharp and deci? sive," aod a small, silent and stonelees cem? etery doubtless still occupies tbe ground thereabout?, tod the gun was only surren dered, eventually, at Appomattox. "War is bell !" A sad occurrence happened at Elliott on vesterdav about noon The smaller children of Mra. and Mr. Jobc H. Skinner were amus? ing themselves in tbe back yard. Mr S was absent and Mrs 8. wkb in the front yard when she beard screams and rushed to her children only to find her 6 year old daughter enveloped in flames caught from a small fire in tbe yard Mrs S wrapped her own dress about the child and wae severely burred in ber motherly efforts to subdue tbe fltmes. Two others of tbe children were also burned somewhat in trying to aave their eiater but all to no avail Tbe little one lingered in repeated convulsions for 11 hours and died laat qigbt. It is but proper to state here? with tbat we are reliably informed that the roviog camp of horse traders, erroneously called Gypsies, with their wives, extended every offer of kindness, sympathy and atten? tion to tbe stricken family and were of sub? stantial and valuable assistance under tbe sad circumstances. Verily "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." Wee Nee, Deo 3 Guv. swan s s saas? Now is Ibe time wbeo croup and long troubles prove rapidly fatal. The only barm less remedy tbat produces immediate results is Ooe Minute Cough Cure It is very pleas ant to take and c*o be relied upon to quickly core coughs^ colds and long diseases.

The work was needed, and the ap? pearance of the streets is mopb improved. A few more new bridges are very much needed, and should be built before any damage results from the old ones.
