fore, which was to the effect that the enemy had attempted to burst through General Gordon's lines, but had been seven times repulsed with the most terrible carnage. The assault was represented to have been made on the portion of General Gordon's lines immediately in front of the scene of last Saturday's battle. Our loss was saion and alarm. The enemy evidently expected to surprise our troops; but General Gordon's boys never sleep when danger is near, and extended to the assailants a reception which we think it probable they will never forget. General Gordon's motto is: 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. ' "The gallantry of our men waovering, or imagining that they discovered, some movements among our pickets in Gordon's front that looked like a preparation for a renewal of the attack of last Satuters, March 30, 1865.

The old Chieftain was led off by one of his staff officers, with tears in his eyes. The charge was led by Gordon. The history of it and its results is familiar to every one, and affords one of the most brilliant records of the war. This is the scene represented in the painting above alluded to.
