, as our greatest danger was from confusion and scattering; and for infantry to pursue cavalry would be a novel enterprise. Captain Metcalf stood by me well in keeping the men steady, as did Assistant Surgeon Minor, and Lieutenant, now Captain, Jackson. How the men in the rear were behaving I could not tell,--not so coolly, I afterwards found, because they were more entirely bewildered, supposing, until the shots came, that the column had simply halted for a moment's rest, as had been done onmediate affray, I sent most of the men on board, and called for volunteers to remain on shore with me and hold the plantation-house till morning. They eagerly offered; and I was glad to see them, when posted as sentinels by Lieutenants Hyde and Jackson, who stayed with me, pace their beats as steadily and challenge as coolly as veterans, though of course there was some powder wasted on imaginary foes. Greatly to my surprise, however, we had no other enemies to encounter. We did not yet know

I recalled to-morrow. One of the officers of this regiment, the late Reverend A. W. Jackson, wrote an account of his life as captain under Colonel Higginson, and fsed fresh courage into these faint hearts. He was a born commander, wrote Captain Jackson. When General Saxton, somewhat later, witnessed the dress parade of this ble. Colonel Higginson's service for his men was summed up in one sentence by Jackson: He met a Slave; he made him a Man.
