boy who had not been long with the battery, was heard to exclaim: Longstreet! Longstreet! why don't you come on! I don't believe there is any such a man as Longstreet! And right glad were we when we heard his firing on our right, and saw his approach, which soon had the effect of starting the enemy on the run. After the battle we were hurriedly pushed forward, the rain of the previous night, together with the bad roads, making our progress not very rapid until we reached Ox Hill, or Chantilly, where although it was still raining hard, we came up again with the enemy, although we did not become engaged. Here it was that Major-General Phil Kearney, of the Federal army, was killed, in establishing, it is said, his skirmish line. His body falling into the hands of our troops, was afterwards sent by flag of truce through the lines. Here also fell General Stevens, of the Federal army. It is said that in this battle, when a certain brigade general reported to General Jackson tha

se five days rations, which lasted us two days, were the last we drew until September 21. The forced marches of August 28 and 29 to aid Jackson were a fearful ordeal, made as they were in the intense heat, with the roads deep in dust, but we reached Thoroughfare Gap in time, and the next day we fought the second battle of Manassas. Our men were so hungry that they gathered the crackers and meat from the haversacks of the dead Federals and ate as they fought. The next day we kept on to Chantilly and fought there; then, swinging to Leesburg, we struck for the Potomac. In all these weeks we had no change of clothing and we were literally devoured by vermin. We had no tents and slept on the ground, and slept soundly even though the rain was pouring in torrents. A prize fighter trains about two months to get himself in perfect condition, but we had been training in a more vigorous manner for nearly two years, and the men were skin, bone and muscle. We lived on apples and green c

ranks of the Federal Army had been rent, shattered and torn by the captured U. S. guns so well served by the Confederate artillerists. Gamest fight of the Nineteenth century. There were more men killed and wounded on the Union side in the one day at Antietam than in the two days battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Stone River and Chickamauga; more than in the three days battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Cold Harbor; more than in the five days of Groveton, Second Manassas and Chantilly; more than in the seven days on the Peninsula; more than in the eleven days campaign ending at Appomattox; more than in all the battles around Atlanta, and more than in all the operations around Vicksburg, including the siege from May 1, to July 4, 1863. Between daybreak and the setting sun of September 17, 1862, forty-three years ago, over 93,000 men of kindred blood (56,300 Union and 37,300 Confederate) and 520 cannon engaged on this field in a desperate struggle, and when the sun wen

h. 7 Aug. 1796. Gould, Sarah, of Medford, and Thomas Robbins of Camb., m. 29 Oct. 1761. Gould, a baker—young man—frozen near Phile. Russell's, 12 Feb. 1838. Francis Gould, one of the officers in the military service before Richmond, to whom the town sent resolutions of greeting on July 22, 1862, alluded to on p. 167 of this work, went to the war from West Cambridge. His company was attached to a New York regiment, called the Mozart. He was wounded by a musket ball in the knee at Chantilly, Sept. 1, 1862, then in full commission as lieutenant, the ball remaining in his knee until his death, Sept. 7, 1874, at the age of 44 years, 6 mos., caused it has been supposed by lead-poisoning produced by the bullet. His friend who contributes these facts states, The cause of his death is an open question; there is no doubt in my mind, and many others share my opinion. He was finely educated, gentlemanly and brave, and well worthy of honorable mention in the records of Massachusetts p

Contreras, rushing with one hundred horse in pursuit of the fleeing Mexicans, he followed them as far as the gates of the city, where he lost an arm. Of all the officers of his squadron, one only, not less brave than himself, but more favored by fortune than the rest—Lieutenant Ewell—returned without a wound; and by another strange fatality, fifteen years later almost to a day, Kearny and himself were found each in a command of a division in the two contending armies on the battle-field of Chantilly, where the former was killed while vainly endeavoring to remedy the mistakes of his general; whilst the latter, always more fortunate, only lost a leg in that bloody conflict. In order to show how useful the Mexican campaign was in training generals for the civil war, it will suffice to say that among those officers who had the honor of receiving special mention in the despatches of General Scott, sixteen became generals in the Federal army, and fourteen in that of the Confederates.

The treville very late on the 31st, and was consequently unable to push as far as Chantilly. The result was that Jackson quietly posted himself in that village unknown which seriously menaced his right on the morning of September 1st.

McDowell and Franklin took position in the rear not meet the Federal right, posted on the Little River road, halfway between Chantilly and Germantown, till evening.
