In uch a case, eupeeislly if there hu-ppen to bo per sons present who have couie into tha world sine the tluro are alwjiys querM: sufll- cient to bring out some unpublished history. The reunion of the Orphan ltrigntle' at Owenaboro was the source of a number of tak-s of camp and field which do not upper io tbe hooks. A group of old soldiers was dl cursing tie lmrdjihips incident to i boldi r's lifo generally, und tho differ nnoe the boys of three; decades affo found lietween what they thought tLcT knew ol campuigiiing, and what they leurned afui they got into tha service.

Tho principal topio was rcliing And ono had referred to of thj oxiloil of Stonewall Jackson's famous fool cavalry" in thut line which werj con by tjie crowd to be almost without and by tho tiuio the Stonewall Urigude had bevu duly admired for its wonderful performance, uu Orni.au veteran wui remind-el that he had done some marching himself. The fetory he told was noS virry exciting, nor did it embrace any thing stupendous, but was given, W- lto said, more as an illustration ol thu way the ideas of the young soldiers of 1861 were shattered when the actual realiza tion, ol wartaru begun to come unn theiit You all have heard, of course," said the veteran, of how tlie) boys from Kentucky went down to Tennessee and i rllited in the Confederate army; how they wore drilled in company ami battal ion until they had liecome a well dis ciplined body of troop-, and all taut. and how tliey flnslly atarUd for a march into Kentucky. I don't know whether that inarch has ever been de-reribed in anything liko detail, but I want to tell you that it was a memorable affair, and that a small 4ortionj of it, at least, tried ns quite as much ae did somo of tha foot cavalry's tramp-, though it covered hut little territory.

Tho entire Hue was from Stintgomery county, where Camps Boone, Burnett and Qua lies were formed, to Groen river for soma of tho troops, and to Bowline Green for others. A STaAOOLKB. "It was on or about September 19 whon the order to move was given, and though it cam in the morning, there was mi much to be don in the way of issuing arms and accoutrements tht the command to forward did uot come until about 8 o'clock in the evening. Th- weather, I roinembor, was warm and i full moon hung in the heavens uu mode the night almost as light as day. Second and Third Kentucky teginicnts moved from Camp Ilocne The sene was extremely inspiring.

Wo were at la.t, fter all our hard drilling, to march forth and heck tne bubble reputation. We were going; up into Gcd9 countiy, and each man pictured to himself the reception the command would, meet with. Our way lay across somo big fields to the railroad, about a mile and a half distant, and a the Second moved out, with Hilly band at the head of the column playing a rattling m-trch, tl hearts of the tlious-atd men who stepped to the musio beat high in their bosoms. There was not thought of delay, and it did not seem to as that anything could stop us. We thooght we would certainly be in Louis-, vi He within twenty-four hours.

I did not like the position, bat' Tom' Moss, t-hen Sergeant Major, said tt moat be and so it was; but I didn't wnnt to be put out to form a line ot battle on. Our progress to the railroad was alow. I think it took: about two hours to make thai mile and half.

When tha road was finally reached there waa a luog train, eompoied of box and flat cm, on which the baggage detail waa- loading Abe tents and other camp tuff, and it did seem to rco that they were the (lowest workers in the world. We lay tlatre thlee or four hour before tihe train wondering- all the time what waa tlie matter, and seething with impatience to be moving. We had, as mr thing like tbe fear lately expressed by Judge Thompson in an ad-drees before the Confederate Association, tliat tlie war would be over before wo era Id get a chance to smell powder. When tbe start waa Anally made, wo were confident that the Second Ken tacky would be marching through the streets of Louisville before that Urn? nest day. -w 4 FILL rjlHIS is the condition wc are in.

Full of new Fall goods from Main to Market street. This is our first Fall in our enlarged store, and with all of our added space we are as full as ever, having more goods in proportion to our room than we ever had before. Our low prices and our cash system, together with our fine grades of goods and courteous attention, have popularized our house with all classes of people. We now sell more goods than we ever did. Wc are more ambitious to do the biggest business than wc are to make big money.

To do this we must show the largest assortment, the best made goods, and sell at the lowest prices. And this we do from year to year always growing in volume and reducing prices. Main and Market, THE HOUSE THAT INTRODUCED THE CASH SYSTEM AND LOW PRICES. Castanets Given to Customers in our Boys' Department. remember that when it was found that the train was going at a speed ol not more thin ten or twelve mile- an hour the boys Ixvan to curne and 6wear, because, as they said, they would lie bo long on the roud, and there wasn't a or boy on that train -tliey were mostly boys who did not in his mind see Uie reginteut, with bund playing and colors lijinc, making a grand entrance into tlie falls ity under the admiring p.ie of xsreinblcd thousands, and every fellow felt himself a hero and entitled to rank as a Brigadier General.

But wo crvpt aluus very slowly. 1 tippoae it was because there were fears of an ambuscade of some urt, or having the train ditched. It was long ul'i-r the sun had ibeu when wo reached Uu-nellville. At the depot wc found one of our Lieutenants (Bob 1'ord, ot Company Second, an zUirabetititowm lawyer), who had been sent there ou secret service, accompanied by four or live- un-uni formed men, Beveral weeks previous. A short stop, aud the train r.

ruined snail-like pace. Bowlin tiice.i wasn't a great way further on, but it took a long tinio to get there, aud we did got tlere. much to our dipgust, th? order was given to ditem-bark and pitch tents, this was done, aud soon the vacant lots in the outskirts of tlie town, toward Louisville, looked like sure enuug'ii war. Of we speculated on tins movement, aud of we all mado up our minds as tj what it niL-aut, and the general i lea unived at was tliu'. it was achisable to surprise Louisville by getting in about.

nichMull. 1 know I was kickinj because I was ufraid wo wouldn't pn iJiza'isMlitowri before nijrht. A numb of our boy8 lived there, and I had lived titer once myself, and, to tell the truth, I tiad a sweet lnnit there, and 1 want. si to sc her. I saw her on tho str.i-J three or four days ago, by the way, ana the didn't know me.

She has bivn married for so long 1 don't like to think about it, and has big family. But 1 didn't grt to see her at that time. About noon, or shortly after, an order came to strike and load tout. Wc attended to that in a 'iiurrv, but it was after dark lief.ire we li ft, and when tlw ttart wus mad the traiu to up that everlasting slow puce. Alter fictting awlul-, all th boys who could, except some who hud jiartiken too freely oi flic-watet, went to sleep, among the number.

The ev nte of the night interested mc uo further. "I slept soundly. Wlien I avoke I saw at once tl.at had hippi'n-1. 'l he tin was sliir.ing h-ihly, and I w.i alone in tlie bov. car.

No one had been hurt, and I hud not. even been awaki-md. As soon as 1 hud looked around I found tlie regiment seattennl about, while a nuinlx-r of almngera had come up.

Tliat we reach tlie city there waa no manner of doubt in our minds, and I am still of the opinion that we could have dim so.

Th Ikivs were eager Jor tlie fipy, aul veil, f-liey wnnted to sec borne once mote, but tlare wore many who nercT did, then, nor at any other time. About noon th tough part of this sotcewliat remarkable march begun. The place where our train had been stopped wat in a railroad cut lust this aid of Horse Cave.

I can pick out the place to-day. An order was given te fall in-and aa soon as the regiment was formed another order waa given to detail forty-five men from each company. That made 450 men, about half tlie regiment. had no idea what wat coming. It might have been a light, or it might have been a foot race, but it was neither, but a inarch.

The detail was soon formed, and the word to move given. Tou must remember that every fellow had bis knap-aarlr, haversack, canteen, eartrldge-bos. with fnrtv roand of tnJl Mtrto-idroa kel and bayonet, and every man thought it his duty to carry aU he had. Tlie haversacks contained tbe clothing and CLOTHING. 111 TO fcJ PROM blankets, the haversacks two days' ra-Lioius and Uio whole outfit must have averaged in weight pretty clos.1 to lifty pen nils, nnd the sun was blading hot.

Tlie command to was olieyed with alacrity, and til boys stepped out cheerfully, if a little wearily.

Well, they might stare, for it was a motley crew. No two were uniformed prech-ly. Some wore tbe Stat Guard uniforms they had brought from home. Others were in citizen' dr. ss.

Tho officers were gen-fi-ally well provided with Uie pray, but some of th companies resembled Fai-etuti's army. The knapsacks hy tUs time weighed much more; mine would have puiled tlowu the beam at seventy-live pounds.
