As I said, the volley staggered the regiment, and in the midst of the confusion a man rode up to me very excitedly, and said 'Ashby is dead 1 'Ashby is dead "Sure ehough Ashby was ded. The volley which for a moment had stunned the First Maryland killed Ashby's horse. He was at home in the saddle, however, and the fall did not injure him. He regained his feet in an instant, and, swinging his revolver over his head, shouted: 'Forward, Virginians Forward WAR REMINISCENCES.

"Johnson gives a staff correspondent of the Philadelphia Press a lively description of the fierce encounter between his regiment and General Kane's famous Bucktails. The story has a special interest for Petinsyl vanians, and more especially is it interesting to this section of the State, and particularly this county, which owes so much for its prosperity to the gallant General after whom our city on the mountain was named.

The new order issued by the officers of the Pennsylvania railroad forbidding sutlers to sell on the train, went into effect last nionth, and travelers over this line will not be annoyed by the impor tunities of hawkers of fruit, novels and newspapers. The conductors, however, have discretion in the matter, and be tween Erie and Kane, on the Philadel phia and Erie, the sutler is allowed to pass through the train three times.

OLD "JIM" JACOBS AGAIN. From the Bradford Era of Monday we clip the following: "The old Seneca hunter, Jim Jacobs, arrived in the city last evening, after a lone and weary tramp through the wilderness of the Kin zua country. The aged Indian is again enjoying good health, although the traces of his last illness are still visible. His rich, copper colored face has grown more wrinkled and thin.

The loss of a number of teeth have given the old man conspicuousness' to his chin. His stiff, black and grey hair sweeps luxuriantly over his shoulders, and his keen, dark eye is still piercing in its glance. Jacobs was under the impression that the recent snow would reveal the whereabouts of deer, bear and other game on the campaign of slaughter of which he soon intends to start. He took his usual quarters on the floor of Undertaker Webster's office for the night," THE RESULT IN THE COUNTY. Up to the hour of going to press (Wednesday afternoon), no definite figures have been received from the county but enough to warrant the assertion of the election of Col.

Wiicox, Republican, for sheriff by a majority of about three hundred. It is stated that Brawley for prothohotary and M'Sweeney for district attorney, both Democrats, and probably the balance of the Democratic ticket, is elected by a small majority.

TIME TABLE. mlSftfr. TRAINS EASTWARD. shot cut short a gallant life, and Ashby fell dead, even before the regiment he ordered to charge had time to obey. His death naturally added to the confusion, but it was only momentary, and as soon as I could get the men under the control of my voice they rallied, and then made as desperate a charge as was seen during the war.

The Bucktails, however, stubbornly stood their ground, and it took a severe fight to dislodge them. We finally succeeded, but not without great loss. "Naturally." said General Tohnson. "I thought this a big day's work, but were it not for the estimation in which my superiors held it then, I might by this time think I had been prejudiced on account of my pride in the troops I commanded, but this fight between the Bucktails my regiment was the subject of much comment among both officers aud men on both sides, and here is a copy of the general order issued by my commanding officer commending the services of the regiment; "Headquarters Third "June 12, iS62. General Order A o.

30 "In commemoration of the gallant conduct of the First Maryland regiment: "On the 6th of June when led by Colonel Bradley T. Johnson, they drove back with loss the Pennsylvania Buck tail rifles in the engagement near Harrisonburg, Rockingham county, Va. Authority is therefore given to have one of the captured bucktails, the insignia of the Federal regiment, appended to the color staff of the First Maryland regiment. "By order of Major General Ewell. "James Barbour, A.

A. This original order and a photograph of his regimental flag, with a bucktail at its head, is still preserved by General Johnson as a memento of that memor able engagement wun ine rennsyivania troops. THE GALLANT BUCKTAILS. "It would take a book to recount all of the interesting stories of that fight," said General Johnson while giving some of the leading incidents. Colonel Kane, who commanded the Bucktails, behaved with great gallantry and was very severely wounded.

I believe he and an officer of mv regiment are the only soldiers who during the late war actually fought a duel in the midst ol a battle. "In the final charge which dislodged the Bucktails, Laptam Murray, who com manded Company of my regiment, in some way or other came almost face to face with Colonel Kane, hach drew his pistol and began shooting, and there they stood firing at each other at less than ten paces until both of them had fired every load out of their revolvers. I do not think that either one was wounded in that novel duel. Kane was, however, severely wounded later in the fight and taken prisoner. I remember him distinctly as he looked when brought back with a shot in his leg.

I ordered him taken to the rear and cared for. My men who captured him found him sitting near a stump, 1 believe, and said tney thought he took his defeat very hard. He never had any cause for chagrin, be cause he made a most gallant and stub born fight. Murray, poor fellow, who fought the duel with Kane, was afterward killed at Gettysburg, he was as brave a man as ever drew a sword: Kane, I believe, is still living in Pennsylvania, and is. I think, the only man who has a right to say that during the war he stood lace to lace with an opponent and took and sent six shots 111 the midst ot a battle.

I should like very much to know Colonel Kane's recollections of this fight, because it was so distinctively a battle between the Bucktails and the First Maryland regiment." 1 he history of the war is lull ot just such thrilling stories as the one above given, but they are only to be reached when you meet some ol the actual heroes of them. The story of great battles as told in the books necessarily eaves out the most interesting points, and the history of war generally deals with great events onlv. How many Con federate soldiers there are, and how many Federal soldiers are still living, who can tell of as interesting exploits as the fight between the Pennsylvania Buck tails, under Colonel Kane, and the Fiist Maryland Confederate regiment, under Colonel Bradley T. Johnson? One by one these stories are finding their way nto print, and it is getting more and more apparent every day that the world will, after all, have to rely upon the newspapers for an interesting, truthful and viviu picture ot the great rebellion. r.

It is stated on the authority of several of the surviving members of the old Bucktails who now reside in Kane, that only a part (four companies) of the regiment panic ipated in the engagement referred to one hundred and eight men, all told We give below the correspondence en tire: (From a Staff Correspondent of the Press.) Harrisonburg, Uctoner 23. This place is a sort of capital of the Tenth Legion of Democracy ot the Old Dominion. It was so named many years aco" on account ol the regular Demo cratic majority it always gave.

It is said that it was to this section that the De mocracy always looked for a regular majority, no matter what other sections of 1... 1 tne Slate micm uo. jiui mints nave wonderfully chantred, and the Tenth Le gion is no longer solid for the Democ racy, indeed, the Keaojusiers carried this conirressional district last vear, and seem likely to get an increased majority in it this year. Both parties have been Davinsr considerable attention to this section this campaign, and Gen. Mahone himself made a tour of these counties not long since, and not only enthused his followers, but it is claimed gained some new recruits.

The canvass is as bitter here as in any other section of the State, if not a little more so, for the white vote very largely predominates, and the people rather tend toward keeping up the color. Harrisonburg is a pretty little town located at the head of the Shenandoah valley, that great granary of the South through winch the armies cnaseo eacn other during the rebellion, and which furnished more supplies to the Confed eracy than any other half dozen sections of its territory. This region was settled bv the Hessians alter the revolution, upon lands which General Washington se cured from Lord Fairfax and sold to them at a low price and upon easy terms. They made good use ot their opportunity and erected neat homes upon these beautiful lands, which more nearly re semble the best agricultural sections of Pennsylvania than any I have ever seen in the South. The soil is well cultivated, the farms clean, and the buildings good Another generation will see the Shenan doah valley, ot which this section is a prominent part, one ot the most beauti ful agricultural regions in this country.

a vast battle field. There is hardly a foot of this beautiful valley that was not tramped over by both armies. It was a favorite place for the Confederates to rendezvous in their operations against Washington and toward Man land and Pennsylvania. It was, therefore, one vast battle field, and some of the hardest fought engagements of the war took place over these. beauti ful hills and snulinsr vales.

When the clouds of war cleared it found this once prosperous region desolated. The torch of war had destroyed the once beautiful homes, and the tramp of armies had wiped out the efforts of years and destroyed most of the evidences of civ ilization that had made this section of Vir ginia known throughout all the land. Great battles are not always the most 1 here are many skirmishes and minor engagements in all wars that are as full of interest and are many times as important as the larger ones that overshadow it not entirely smother them upon the pages of history. There never was a more truthful saying than that "great events hang upon trilling causes." An incident and ofttimes an accident provoked and decided some of the greatest events of the civil war. This fact was brought prominently to my mind in going over the field near here where Ashby was killed.

He fell here when the First Maryland Confederate regiment and the First Pennsylvania Bucktiiil rilles met in an almost hand to hand engagement. It was not a great fight, and is hardly mentioned in any of the prominent histories of the rebellion, yet that little struggle was full of interesting situations, and joined, if it did not affect, later and more bloody events. GENERAL KANE DESPERATE BRAVERY. After going over the battle field I heard the story of the fight from Gen. Bradley T.

Johnson, one of the most briliiant and dashing of the younger Confederate officers. He lived in Frederick, when the war broke out and raised and commanded the First Maryland Confederate regiment through the early years of the war, and in the engagement with the First Pennsylvania Bucktail rifles, of which I am about to write. General Johnson is now a prominent lawyer of Baltimore is a great writer upon the stirring events of the war. He bore a conspicuous and gallant part in many of them. He was charged by his superior officers with the destruction of Cliaihhershurg, and won a great reputation for his fearless daring upon many battle fields.

Speaking of the tight of his regiment with the Pennsylvania Bucktails, he said: "It was but a short distance from Harrisonburg that Ashby was killed. I never shall forget that engagement. It was, for the length of time it lasted and the number of troops engaged, one of the hardest fought battles of the war. There were more troops engaged than the two regiments which finally came together in an almost hand to hand fight. Just as we were filing into line of battle the brigade commander called upon me for two companies to act as and detailed two companies on the left of the line and then formed next to the Fifty eighth Virginia.

Soon after the skirmishers moved out there was sharp firing along the line, but we met nothing to obstruct our march until we reached the crest of a small hill, and we then saw a battery of brSs guns, and it was soon evident that there was to be sharp work. I laid the men under the cover of the hill, but they had not lain there long before some of the men on the right shouted, 'They are firing on our 'They are firing 011 our flank 1' "Just then a charge was ordered, and as the First Maryland sprung to the crest of the hill they were met and staggered by a volley from the First Pennsylvania Bucktails, which were posted in a worm fence not very far in front of us. It was one. of the most effective and well directed fires I ever witnessed during the war.
