Of course she Is awfully cut up about the death of her father and the war and all that, and you, too, I suppose, but otherwise she is quite well. I reckon she must be very fond of you, old fellow." "I hope so," eaid'tlic general, brightening in this vague assurance. "By the way, Pleasants, did you hear anything of Boyd Peyton while you were in Mobile?" "Yes; he Is in the blockading fleet down off Fort Morgan." "Come to my headquarters tonight," said the general, "as soon as we have made camp, If we make camp. I want to talk to you about home and Miss Mary." "And Miss Pink?" interrupted Pleasants. "Yes, of course, before we go Into battle tomorrow. It may be our last chance, you^know."

They bore themselves with the careless insouciance of veterans as they fell into ranks with the promptness of trained soldiers. Tlieir lean, brown, leather tanned faces, their vigorous, easy movements, as well as their torn nnd tattered battleflags, spoke lu eloquent language of hard inarches, long campaigns nnd fierce battles. With rattle of drums nnd shrilling of fifes, in obedience to the sharp staccato command of the officers rising above the confusion, they marched down the dusty road and aligned themselves In regiments at the deslg noted position. Mounting his liorse, which, with the other horses, had been unloaded from the stock cars in the front of the train, Darrow rode to the head of his brigade. The last section bod arrived while the conversation had .been going on, and, all the dispositions having been promptly made, a word of command put the troops In motion. The Alabama regiment in which he had gone out as a major had mustered 01T its departure from Mobile some oleven hundred officers and men. Now the entire force of the brigade, comprising four regiments and a battery of artillery, was scarcely more than fifteen hundred men. They were fifteen hundred, however, of the very best soldiers on the face of the globe. There at the head of the column rode .the boyish Pleasants, commanding Dnrrow's own old regiment, now nninberiug about three hundred men. Where were the rest of them? Their bones lay bleaching upon battlefields all over Virginia?Manassas, Malvern Hill,' Antletain, Fredericksburg Clinncellorsvlllc?yes, and far to the north some of them slept on the soil of Pennsylvania, around the slopes of Gettysburg. Now they woro to show what Lee's veterans could do in the mountains and valleys of Georgia. CHAPTER XXIII. SVASHINO THROUGH THE UNION I.IXE. 0 o'clock on the morning of I /\ J the 20th of September, I860, RjguJ the tree clnd hills In front of iPfl@l General Thomas' position between Chickatnaugn creek and Missionary ridge, covering the road through Rossvlile gap to Chattanooga. were suddenly covered with men who seemed to have sprung up by magic as they rose from the hollows in which they had lain concealed. The Instant crackling of the rifles and muskets of ths heavy skirmish line thrown iu advance of the battle line soon gave place to crashing volleys, punctured by tho deeper roar of cannon ns tho southern batteries swung front into notion, pouring their grape, shrapnel and canister iuto their enemies. It Heemed to the Uuiou sol tilers tlint scarcely n moment elapsed between the abearance and the advance of the Confederates. With consummate courage the gray masses were moved forward in the smoke and hurled upon the Federal line, and with equal courage the assault wan met. The battle raged up aud down the Union left with terrltlc flerccnesn j and with no preaeut advantage as yet to cither side. Presently ont of the smoke and dos* j far to the Union left Breckinridge'n division, overlapping Thomas' shorter j line by a long distance, swung around ' across the Itossvillc road and attacked the Union line In reverse. But no bettor soldier, no harder fighter, that?1" the great Virginian ever handled ar army. Quick to take In the slgnlfi cnuce of the dangerous movement* Thomas threw Ills reserve hrlirnilnn i? fierce countercharge right Into the face of Breckinridge, and. aided by r timely re-enforeement of one of Neg* ley's brigades?although the whole division should have been there and was not?he forced him bnck from the road and retained control of It. Again and again Polk forged a ) mighty battle hammer of human bod- ! ies and drove it against the Union left, which shivered and vibrated under the terrific blows rained upon it. The two ; wings charged and recharged across the disputed ground. Positions were i taken and retaken again and again. I The armies were locked In a mighty, j deathlike grip of battle?a writhing, twisting embrace of furious, swaylug conflict. j Mennwhiie tke front of Thomas' com- ! maud was so heavily engaged that he did not dare to weaken it to help his : hard pressed left flank ty a withdraw- | al of a single regiment. The absence j of Ncgley's division, or the missing . two-thirds of It, which had been promised, so seriously jeopardized bis posttion as to render it almost Impossible for him to hold it In the face of such continuous and desperate attacks. Messenger after messenger came to Ilose- : erans asking re-enforcement. The right of the Union army had so far only been engaged in a desultory way that morning. The lighting as yet had all boon on the left. The necessity for moving his right wing by the left nanK was imperative, ami the movement was at once begun by the Union general. Tills is always a difllcult evolution in front of an enemy, nml when the battle is in actual eouise the (litlicultios are increased a thousandfold. As the morning wore on the Confederate attack was extended from left to right with gradually increasing force, l'rngg divined Rosecrans* purpose, and ho endeavored to make hiin maintain his lines and so prevent detachment to the left, which he hoped to overwhelm. At any rate, he determined to strike the Union troops moving to re-enforce Thomas on their unprotected flanks as they passed. Still, the fighting on the Federal right was as yet by no menus severe, although the demonstrations of the Confederates were growing stronger with every moment, and their troops were .being moved forward on the right for a general action all along the line. By half after 11 o'clock a misunderstood order, which was nt the same time badly expressed, withdrew a whole Federal division from its place in the line near the center, moved It to the left and placed it In the rear of Thomas' heavily assailed position. There was a great hole left in the Union line. John B. Hood, one of the most magnificently reckless fighters in the southern army, detected It through his skirmishers. The news was at once carried to LoiimtlTPt n lid Im Iiinpaitii 1,5c for nn iustaut attack, appreciating tlio brilliancy of the opportunity before him. With masterly tactics Longstreet threw his veterans iuto a column of brigades at half distance, Hood leading the column in person. With fixed bayonets and at a double quick they moved down past a little farmhouse which from the nnme of its owner gave the title to the Brotliertou road. The men In the open flanks of the Union army on either side of this vnst chasm were completely exposed to the Confederate avalanche, pouring into the gap in solid column, the tierce rebel yell, first heard from the lips of John Sevier 100 years before in Tennessee, ringing over the field. At the same Instant every battery of southern artillery opened fire. Buekuer's corps hurled itself upon the attenuated Union lines on the right of the opeuiug, Stewart's division on the left of it, at the same time Longstreet pierced the center. General Davis threw his two brigades recklessly ui>on this mighty gray buttle column. A few swift volleys from the advancing Confederates shattered their ranks, aud when the division fell upou them with the bayonet they drove them like leaves in n winter storm. The Union batteries' In the rear of the line sent canister and grape tearing and ripping through the advancing battullons, but their blood was up; nothing could stop their Irresistible advance. Davis' men, taken in front and rear and flying for their lives, burst in to iue ritiiKtf ui i'liii oneriuau s division, throwing them into hopeless confusion, in which condition the gray battle storm surged down upon them. Iu spite of the heroic efforts of that commander they wore thrown into complete rout and swept away in mad disorder. Brigadier General Lytic, the poet soldier, was killed in front of his brigade, vainly striving to rally his shattered, disorganized troops and hold bhl Whiio this tewibtp pfltpstruphe WPH happening Buckner's soldiers, advancing with equal valor, fell upon the re- | luaindcr of the right center wing of the Union army and drove it before them in hopeless aud inextricable disorder. Men, guns, horses aud wagons, in a chaos of confusion, streamed back from the battle line and were scattered through the woods and down the Dry j Valley road toward McFarland's traa " IJjMW??* . ? f Tired Out " I was very poorly and could 1 hardly get about the house.

I Sonic of tlicui were halted on the other side of the ridge, at Itossville, but many did not stop until they reached Chattanooga. Into this flying mass the Confederate guns poured shot and shell, The Union batteries were captured ntul turned against their own men. Rosecrnns, the commander in chief, McCook, Davis, Sheridan and Crittenden, protesting, cursing, imploring, raging, beseeching, wore swept along with the rest in a mad. tumultuous rout. The Union right wing hnd been hammered to pieces. The Union line had been riven in two, and one side of it crushed like a house of cards beaten down by a hammer. And it hnd all happened in a few moments. Far to the left Thomas and his battalions, ignorant of the disaster, still stood (ightiug with desperate valor. Lousr street now turned his men toward that flank and what was left of the Union center and repeated with great success his attack on the right. The Union troops were slammed backward like a door. Hood was desperately wounded, and Longstreet led his lines in person, Bushrod Johnson's brigade In advnnee. The Union troops in the center made a better resistance and somewhat delayed the advance. They changed front under fire and clung tenaciously to their new line, facing the gap and the victory flushed foe. But they, too, had to give way before the furious dash and overwhelming onslaught of the victorious Confederates, now in greatly superior force, until finally there was nothing left of the Union line but the still heavily assaulted left wing. j CHAPTER XXIV.* " "the uock of chickamauga."

The two exhausted armies rested where they were for a breathing space ere they renewed the action. Thomas took advantage of this resnite to with draw his troops to the rear to a more favorable defensive position. There was a semicircular hill back of Kelley's field, called by many on account of its shape the horseshoe and by others Snodgrass hill, from the home of CONTINUED ON 6TII PAGE. m ? RELIGION IN CHINA. " There Are Three Stale Systems, Confuclnulsiti, Uuildlilxni mid Taoism. In theory Confucianism is the religion of the state. The state officials are the literati who have secured their positions through tho study of the classics?1. e., the "Sacred Writings of Confucius." The C'onfuciunlst temples are protected and honored by the state, and the worship of Confucius is carried on at the expense of the state. In a limited sense, too, Buddhism can also claim to be a state religion. The same is also true of Taoism, since deceased generals and statesmen ure assigned their corresponding ranks with the Taolstic king of the lower world In hades. In this role they are worshiped in Taoistlc temples. In this way it is possible for a Chinaman to pinke use nf fill thrnn i*ol Ivlnna u'lthmtf trnHlniv into conflict with tlio distinctive principles of any of theni. Their officials worship together, in funeral services monks of both orders are found performing functions on different days. The public temples are usually in control of the Tnoists, but sometimes are In charge of ltuddhists. Not rarely Taoistic gods arc found in Buddhist temples and vjcp versa. Bometlmes they differ only in name. The Buddhist goddess of mercy is the Taoist goddess of heaven. The pearl king of the Tnoists is the imperial ruler of the Buddhists. Both systems tench the same ten princes in hades, and even a reproduction of the Buddhist punish? moot in hell is fouud iu the Taoist temples. Dr. R. M.
