If it hadn't been f?r tlo fun
makers the soldier? in the army would
have dicJ w ith the blues or 8' tne
other hind of homesickness. But
fortunately every command was pr< vid:d
with the usential 4,way" who,
more than any one else, nrdonired
I 4 O
the rtrugglo andimdo manifest the
efficiency of our troops. Do'ph Knot
was the futf maker of our command
in both company and regimental,
lie had a n ckuu:oo for every man
and horse in the command. Some
of theso names wero unheard of or
unpronouncable b.fore Dolph begun
to utilize them. Then they soon
entered into the army vocabulary and
their possessors carried them to the
end ot the war or throughout life.
It would take a volume of books to
contain the commonest of these j >kes,
some of which have never Lecn pul>
lished while others have. A few of
them might help to make areadtblo
letter in this connection end keep
these reminiscences from becoming
monotonous.

man, who no doubt thought himself
too good to go to the war, rude up
to a depot about the time a train
filled with Confederated arrived. 1 he
soldiers began to plugue him with all
kinds of questions and pranks, asking
him his age, occupation, mann
is and objept of life and all such
nonsense. Oucold fellow kept bulking
round him with an eve intent on
his person and viewing him from
head to foot. This venerable sen c f
mars would go round the yiuvg fellow
making an . elliptical course with
each revolution, whin at last he cried
out: "Mister,' wuz you rai-jtd 'bout
hore or did you come outer a drcve."
A citizen with long hair, long
whiskers, big mustache and grand
imperial had his head sticking out at
_ l t l n.i ?
a winaow in lucumcnu. ice human
face wn3 so completely Lid by
ihe hairy covering al out, around ai.d
under it that it seemed to be an immense
mass of hair sticking cut of or
pending fiom the window. A ragged
soldier who had lost h;s lnrse was
paesing and seeing the indistinct cut
line of a human face called on one ( f
his comrades and said: ' J ike, I've
found inv old horse at last." 'Whai?"
replied Jake. ' 4 Don't you see his
tail sticking outer that window
yonde:? I could swear to that tail
8nywhar. But how the old critter
ever got up thar I con't tell." Its
only necessaty to 83y here the tail
was immediately withdrawn from the
window.
In one of the fights Gary's Brigade
had on the Darbytown road in the
fall of 1864 the cavalry were d smounted
and went at it in old fashioned
infantry style as they usually
did along the lines at that time.
Under a very heavy firo from the
enemy our men were ordered to 4ilie
down" and protect themselves as
1/ be->t they could. In front of Frank
Millwood was a stump. Lt. G. II.
Jeter told him to get behind it. After
the fight was over ai.d Frank discovered
that KP.vernl rriinnio hills
had penetrated the stump ho said to
Lt, Jeter: "It's well you told me to
get behind that stump, Lieutenant,
for if you hadn't I'd never got to
see the cooling ground again.
On one occasion two of eur scouts
were at Mrs. Coles, near Barhamsville.
Jt was a cold dark night in
January, 1863. The house was surrounded
by Yankee cavalry. Adjoining
the room in which they were
sleeping up 6taira just under the
winaow was the piazza cover and a
chimney run up between the dining
ft room and the house. The house w&s
surrounded before they knew any
thing about it, and they just stepped
out iu their night clothes on the top
of the piazza and round behind the
chimney and stayed there until a
" V" search of the house satisfied the fedtfols
that the rebels had lefc. As
soon as the raiders got away the
aS scouts returned to their bed and resumed
their snoozing until a little
before da j light when they slippc
rut and got the rest oi their com pan
ions and waylayed tie r ail at Wliit
aker's mill when a skirmish figh
took place about daylight i'l whiil
two of our men who had been tukei
prisoners g >t away from the federals
Our men had torn up the bridge
and tiken p^aiti >n on the top of the
high bluff wbrro with guns, pistols
r- cks ai <1 brickbats they fought in
despera'i >n uutil the whole co'uinr
was forced to retire so as to get a
chance to fight at long range. The
Confederates occupied a position
nearly right over whore the column
of Federal cavalry had to pa?s. In
this attack Bill (.'ros^aud of Company
A was shot through the hat w ith a
urnnia bull which knocked itim senseless
for a few minu'es, but before tin1
Federals cou'd cros3 the creek and
renew the fight his cotnrr.arid had
borne Mm to a place of safety where
a hind lady cave him some peach
brandy a?.d he s-mn revived. The
next day we got a conveyance aul
sent him to camp.
I will give some o.her accvunts of
our scouting paitics and iho trials to
which they were efcen subjected at
times. At the tame time I wouhl
be glai to have the reminiscences of
other commands to help fill out this
department of our war history as 1
proceed which will doubtless interest
our reudeis.
While we were camped at Bottom's
bridge in the summer of 18G3 a
farmer brought a barrel of cider in'o
camp and got permission from CjI.
Shingler to sell it. SVhile ho \va3
drawing it off for his thirsty customers
some mischievous wretch crept
under his wagon and Inred a hole in
barrel underneath and drew c (T a
water bucket full aid band'd it
round to his comrades and told them
to help themselves. The vender was
in bli sful ignorance of the transaction
until he sold out and found his barrel
had a hole in the other sdde of it.
There has been several versions
of the f.inoussong "All Q iiet Along
the Po'.ouiac Tonight," but the foling
is the original copy as v*c used to
bear it sur-g by the Virginia g'rls in
iho early sixties:
'am. qv1f.t ai.oxo the potomac."
"All quiet on the Potomac" tonight,
"Except now and then a stray picket
Is shot as he walks his beat to and fro,
Py a rilleman hid in the thicket."
'T.s nothing; a private or two now and
then
Will not ount in tho news of a battle.
Not an otlicer lost?only one of the men,
Moaning alone, all _alone the death
rattlo.
All quiet on the Potomac tonight,
Where tho soldiers lie peacefully
dreaming;
Their tents in the rays of the clear
autumn moon.
Cr the light of the watch-fires arc
gleaming,
A tremulous sight, as the gentle night
wind
Through tho Toroit leaves slowly is
creeping;
While the stars up above, with their
glittering eyes,
Keep watch?for the army is sleeping.
There's only tho sound of the lone
sentry's tread,
As ho trumps lrom the rock to the
fountain,
Thinking of tho two on the low trundlebed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain;
His gun falls slack?his face, dark acd
grim,
Glows gently with memories tender,
As he mutters a prayer for the children
asleep?
For tho mother, mav heaven dofend
her!
The moon seems to shine as brightly as
then,
That night when the love, yet unspoken,
Leaped up to his lips, and when murmured
vows
Were pledged, to be ever unbroken;
Then, drawing his sleeve roughly over
his eyes,
lie dashes off tears that are welling,
And gathers his gun up to its right
Place,
to keep down the heart swelling
lie pa33es the fountain, the blasted
tree,
The footstep is lagging and weary,
Yet onward ho goes, through the broad
belt of light,
Toward the shade of the forest Be
dreary
Hark! was it tho wind that rustled the
leaves?
Was it the moonlight so wondrousl>
flashing?
It looked like a rifle?"Ila! Mary, good
bye!"
And the life-blood is obbing and
splashing.
CHORUS,
All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
No sound save the rush of the river
While soft falls tho dew on the face 01
dead?
Tho picket's off duty forever.

It seems that business of saving
what is made is holding firmcis s >|
steadily that little in general Ins
been done towards sowing oats and
right now is the best t:me.
You can safely count on a negr >
never taking his cotton ta the r.'ad
when picking, unless the road hap
pens to be very near. When it i<
but an acre acro-s the field iht-y will
leave it there ana drive a wagon
acrcss the very best cotton, breaking
it down, just to keep from t;coting"
it a i>hort space.
Tie winds have been blowing cut
cotton where it is not kept closely up
with and the rains beating it in the
ground. We had a steady, and at
lions, hard rain nil last Friday
n:ght end Saturday, and besides
beathg out cotton, plowing has been
suspended for a few dijs.
Last Saturday I reckon the biggest
crowd was at a mule shoeing
that ever was at or.o at this place.
A uaule was sent to Mr. W. 0. Jeter's
shop t) be shod and refused to bo, so
stubbornly that ' throwing" was necessary,
so it was thrown down, tied
and held oq the ground until aho<s
could be put on. Tbis attracted n
| largo crowd, and tnauy, more than
was necessary, both whi e and co',
orcd voluutcercd to lend a helping
hand, so tho mu'e was held so (irmly
it was not hurt. Thero was such a
crowd of inen around it that one
could scarcely see it.
- Isn't it a blessing to be out hero '
in the country and a Southern country,
at the approach of cold weather,
where wood is plentiful and to waste,
only for the cutting and hauling,
t and the coal striko and steep price of
coal for heating pui poses is no men '
ace to us. There never has yet been
? a countryman in these parts who
suffered for ;ho want of wood for
fuel if he was not sick or too lazy to
1 get it. Wi'hall there is a great deal
of advantage of being in the country. |

Ou the 3rd inst. I hoard d the

and Carrol IL. Foster. We were
joined at Pacohthy D. Baxter Wood,
Mr Brown, M'ascs Nannie Wood

Jonesville concluded to spend the
n'ght in Charlotte and take an early

rest at the Buford House put u* in
good tiim for the trip. Saturday
morning wo hoarded the so called
fust train rnd expected to cot to
Alexandria by dark, bat we were
disappointed and o;,ly pulled into
Washington at midnight. We took
a train fur Baltimore over the Pennsylvania
11. It. immed auly, but it
was the accommodation train and I
am sure it made ubout twenty dead
stops in the forty miles and we arrived
in Baltimore at 2 o'elock Sun- j
day morning. We were soon in bed
at the E itaw House and slept till
8 o'clock Snndsy. Then we had a
good breakfast and the best beef
steak 1 over tasted, then we were
ready to look out upon the great
commercial city of Baltimore, with
its 700,000 ir.habitants. The ru n
poured down most all day Sunday
and made it uncomfortable. It was
our object however, to visit Dr. A.
