out prisoners of war. At about nine o'clock A. M., a second attack was made upon battery D by Fagan's brigade of Arkansas troops, three regiments strong, and said, by prisoners, to have acted under the personal direction of Lieutenant-General Holmes. The battery was bravely supported by detachments from the Forty-third Indiana, under Major Norris, and the Thirty-third Iowa, under Major Gibson. In spite, however, of the most determined resistance, Bell's regiment, with small portions of Hawthorn's and Brooks's, succeeded in penetrating our outer line of rifle-pits, and securing a position in a deep ravine to the left of the battery and below the range of its guns. The remainder of the brigade was broken and scattered by the terrific fire of our artillery in the works, and compelled to seek shelter in the woods out of range. Immediately upon their retreating, our riflemen from all three regiments in the pits closed in upon those of the enemy who were in the ravine, from all sides,

f Major Bowen's cavalry, (at his request,) and took position in the centre, as you found us on arrival. I observed at that time that the enemy were moving to the right. I ordered Capt. Crockett forward to support then, (knowing that they outnumbered us.) I then event to the right myself, found that Captains Switzler and Montgomery had formed a junction, and succeeded in flanking the enemy, and held them at bay. The enemy were commanded by Captains Lorrels, Wright, Thurman, Bell, Fain, and Hawthorn, and were drawn up in line of battle. My two companies threw themselves into line, and were ordered to receive their fire, return it steadily, and then charge with their sabres, and never allow the enemy time to reload their pieces, all of which order was carried out to the letter, with a coolness and determination that evinced true bravery, in both officers and men, and struck terror along the whole line. They could not stand such a charge, so prompt, so uniform, and so determined, that

late Emperor Augustus, within the last eighty years (A. D. 79). He had not seen the beautiful gardens of Egypt. In some of the principal apple counties of England, the hedges are made of apple and pear trees trimmed to the proper proportions. In Brecknockshire, hazel is much used; blackthorn and hawthorn are also common; the latter is more used than any other hedge shrub. The osage-orange (Maclura), honey-locust, and some varieties of thorn, are used in the United States for hedges. Hawthorn is the favorite in England, but does not stand our climate. Ornamental hedges are made in this country of privet, althea, spruce, arbor vitae, rose, and occasionally a pear or other trees and shrubs. In England, the laurel, lauristinus, arbutus, Portugal laurel, bay, and other beautiful evergreens are used, but they do not so well suit this climate. Hedges are planted in single or double rows, the latter from eight to twelve inches apart. The plants about the same, except that in sing

He is now a member of the Baptist church and has got the better of the old habit that used to overcome him when his indignation was aroused. He is a member of Hawthorn camp, United Confederate Veterans, and likes to indulge in reminiscences of the stirring events of 1861-65. For most of the time since the war he has been in thomattox campaign, at the close of which he surrendered the Rifles, 304 officers and men, as strong a regiment as the army included. Colonel Bowen is a member of Hawthorn camp, U. C. V., of Easley, S. C., and served as its first commander. He was married October 15, 1857, to Martha Adlaiza Antoinette Oliver, daughter of Dr. Jamesir exposed position. Since the war Mr. Bowen has followed farming in Pickens county, having a pleasant home about two miles south of Easley. He is a member of Hawthorn camp, U. C. V. He was married December 20, 1866, to Miss Emma C. Briggs, and they have seven children, five sons and two daughters. Calhoun F. Boyd Calhoun

governors of the states —Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and Missouri—but the agreements they made and the resolutions they adopted were without practical effect. There were meetings of the high military officers who ought to have understood the situation—which was fight or surrender—and they were more undecided and divided in opinion than those of the civil officers. Shelby at last left his division at Marshall and went to Shreveport. There he got a meeting of the military men —Churchill, Hawthorn, Preston, Flournoy and others—at which it was agreed and counselled that the army should be concentrated on the Brazos and should fight step by step to the Rio Grande, thereby giving the States east of the Mississippi opportunity to act, and if the worse came to the worst the army could make terms with one government or the other in Mexico. This was Shelby's proposition. But before this time General Smith had been engaged in a correspondence with Gen. John Pope of the Federal army

ide avenue, a new name had to be found for the western one, which on acceptance became Arlington street. It is a long street, reaching nearly to Arlington line. In a subdivision of the older plan in 1870 two new streets were called Linden and Hawthorn, both grafted into Myrtle. As the latter was uprooted or transplanted as Jerome, so Linden got the name of a worthy resident, Fairfield. Only Hawthorn remains, and that only on paper. Minot street of the old plan was laid out by the county Hawthorn remains, and that only on paper. Minot street of the old plan was laid out by the county commissioners as Boston avenue, and it had been better had a suggestion of eighty feet wide instead of sixty been heeded. Whatever suggested Monument is a query. Possibly Bunker Hill monument was then visible there over the rise of College hill (not now),, as it was from Grove street near by. Mr. Brooks planted a grove in the Delta in 1820; from this may have come the name given the old Cambridge road to Woburn, now Grove street. Bower (not Bowers) street was so called by Thomas P.
