Brigade in this Famous Engagement. -After the struggle at Fredericksburg on the 13th of December, 1862, whtch was so accurately and beautifully described to us on the 25th of April by our brother veteran, Col. Hall, the Army of Northern Virginia went into camp on thej Rappahannock river, stretching from. Ely's ford to Port Royal. The division of A.

Hill, 'of Jackson's corps, was encamped around "Moss tfeck," one of the most beautiful plantations it, has been my fortune to see upon this earth. My! regiment, the 37th N. was in Lane's brigade, which wasi known as the Wonders Are i wrought by the use of Ayefs Hai: Vigor in restoring gray hair to its color, promoting a new growth, preventing the hair- from falling, keeping It soft, ilky and. abundant, and the scalp cool, heatthy, and free from dandruff or humors. The universal testimony is tnat this preparation lias no qual as a dressing, and' Is, therefore, -indispensable to every well-furnished toilet "I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor'for some tune and it has worked wonders for me.

I was; troubled with dandruff and was rapidly becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair has 'ceased coming out, and I now have a good growth, of the same color as when I was a young woman. I can heartily recommend any one suffering from dandruff or loss of hair to use -Ayer's Hair Vigor as a dressing." Bf rs. Lydia O. Moody, East mttston, Me.

HONOR AND GRATITUDE. How Colored Brother Thought Ought to Show It.

He Seeing ishop Potter and Colonel Higginsort together on the Sanders Theatre platform Thursday, both wearing the pink and blue ribbons which Phij Beta Kappa nien so high ly prize, the "Penciller" was! remind ed of a story which the Bishop loves to tell as an illustration of Colonel Higginson's practical experience of politics. I When Colonel Higginson ning for Congress two yearsj ago, the Bishop sas, a friend of his, a gentleman living in Cambridge, visited the polls election day to see how the colored v6te was In one of the ward Iroomshe met colored man who had formerly been in his employ, and going up! to! him he asked: Jj i "Wellj peorge, who is your favor ite candidate to-day?"

But the I colored brother had dif ferent ideas. i "I shduld he replied, "dat my sense ob honor and ob grat ltude would lead me to vote for de gemman what guv me morn ing." Ml A SURPRISED CLERK.

Ill I "Are you the claimant?" said the clerk, abruptly. 1 1 Senator Harris replied that he was not the claimant. "Are you the attorney in the case?" said the clerk, with still great er abruptness. senator Harris replied that he was not even the attorney.

Who in are you, then, and what interest have you got in this case?" said the clerk! in a offensive tone. i I "I introduced the bill in the Sen ate, said Senator Harris, mildly. 'and I am somewhat interested in it for that reason. DRAWING THE COLOR LINE. a jod ci "aintinit AttrihiitAfl tr the i "Wrong Artist.

Never shall I fdrget that flash of mus- ketry--lhen the dead calm which fol lowed but above all the'sad whispering "Creneral Jackson is wounded. lhen with troubled faces his troops crouched down behind the breastworks to rest and "bitterly think on the morrow." The sun rose on that memorable Sunday May 1863, in a cloudless sky, and with it rose the old Light Division of A. P. Hill, from behind the: works and crossed over.

The left ot our regiment rested upon the turnpike; the 18th N. C. on the opposite side, and. the gallant old 7th N. C.

on our light. This was all I could see of our brigade. At the command it moved forward, as if on parade, and the bloody work commenced. Inch by inch and foot by foot it pressed forward? line after line is met and forced back; nothing is heard save the rOar of cannon and the cracking of rifles; our line would halt, squat down and fire until a way was cleared, then rise and press forward. Although men were falling around me almost like wheat before the scythe, on account of the dense! smoke I was unable to see the enemy, but stooping down I plainly saw a line of battle not more than paces in front of us fighting with the same de- termination that, we were.

Forcing it back we" took possession of the works they had thrown up during the night.j These were very poor, hardly sufficient: to shelter a man when lying down but! when Lane men got possession of them! they held on with a bull dog tenacity Ij never witnessed oeiore or Charge alter charge was made upon us i i 10 oc urivcn DacK in coniusionj it was there the "red breeched Zouaves" were brought upon us, only to share the fate: of others who at least did not present sq frightful an appearance.

I have attempted to give a truthful! inside view of this bloody day's work but no pen nor tongue can ever describe the awlul storm of grape and canister which belched forth from over fifty- pieces oi cannon upon this oak woods, through which Lane brigade fought on mat awiuii Sunday morning. Many little incidents occurred during the battle that I remember; one in par4- ncuiar is so impressed upon my memo ry mat I must relate it. A large, fine looking soldier was stretched at full length firing as fast as he could, and as it was impossible to be heard, I touched It i.

uorman advocated, it, and it was agreed to. I At 2 o'clock the unfinished business was taken up, being two postal and ship bills. Mr. Vest continued his argument against the bills. Keiernng to Mr.

Elaine's anxiety in the matter, he Said that he was as anxious as Mr. Blaine; ti bring back the supremacy of the United States on the ocean and as to the carrying trade. He was as anxious as Mr. Blaine to open the ports of South America to American products. He sincerely de sired the extension of commerce, fmd that the American flag might again1 be seen in every port and in every sea.

But the question was one as to the means to bring about that end.j The Senator from Maine, Mr. Frye, wanted i subsi cues. He (Mr. vest) opposed tnem in toto. He had seen in a New York newspaper last week a statement credited to Mr.

Blaine, that he would give one year of his file for two hours on! the noor of the American Senate on tnis question, rie had not been view of that statement, at find ing that Mr. Blaine injected into this discussion an argument in fhe Pre sident's message, read in the Senate this morning, urging postal subsidies. Mr. Vest went on to speak of the late Pan-American Conference, and he sent to the clerk's desk and had read a clipping from the New York Herald, of a Buenos Ayres correspondent, to show what a prominent and intelligent citi zeh of Buenos Ayres, Senor Piora, who accompanied the Argentine delegates to Washington, thought ol a conference of Blaine, Custis and United States del egates. I As soon as the clerk haa finished the reading of this very caustic criticism Mr.

Hawley asked Mr. Vest whether he! khewwho wrote that, and whether it was quite lair ana decorous to have printed such a mass of irresponsible blackguardism? Mr. Vest replied that the gentleman name was given in tne communication LMr. Hawley I reaffirm what! 1 said that the man who. speaks as he does of honorable gentlemen, and whoj says of American colleges that degrees can be obtained for thirty dollars, saysiwilfully tnat wnicn is laise.

I There is nothing in the communication that aftects the respectability, moral character or integrity of any of the per sons mentioned in it. It is the ordinary criticism oi a pumic assembly, and I had it read to show the impression made on prominent men who attended that Con.

HARDIN, Dnigtrist, satuth Wilmington, C. Star, 4th brigade of A. P. Hill's division of Jackson's corps." From the 13th day of December until the 29th of April we did nothing but picket duty on the banks of the Rappahannock. The 29th of April broke upon us as one ot those lovely mornings so common in spring when nature was putting forth all of.

its beauty, and we stood upon the hills of Moss Neck- and listened to the cannonade then going on around Fredericksburg. Soldiers soon become accustomed to cannon firing and rather enjoy it at a distance "far, far! away" but before we had begun to enjoy the sweet sound of those awful guns, orders came to prepare to move; almost before we could prepare, orders came to move. Then could be seen lortg columns of soldiery moving in every direction all converging upon the direct road to Fredericksburg, I shall not weary you with any description of our stay at Fredericksburg, two days in line of battle. About 3 a. on the 1st of May, orders came to move, and in a short time we wire on the river road to Chancellors-ville.

The day was bright and the Yankee balloons were sailing high in the air. The slow march to Chanccl- lofsville, the many halts, the deafening cheer given Gen. Lee as he passes dur ing one oi tnese naits, the heavy uring in, front, the order to load, the picture of, Lee and Jackson sitting under a tree at Chancellorsville as we filed out1 of the road to form a line of battle is' as iresn in my memory to day as if they were events of yesterday, rather than those of twenty-four years My company, was; thrown out ion the skirmish line and retired at daylight. We formed in line for assault upon the enemy's breastworks, apparently, 1 the second line coming up to the proper distance. This looked like business, and we knew that we were in for it; at least we thought we knew, but as the sequel will show we knew noth ing at all.

Gen. Jackson galloped by, going to the right, but quickly returned, and in a few min utes we were ordered by the left flank and marched out across the plank road. Then commenced that' historic march, known as Jackson's flank movement around Hooker's right. The march was quite slow at first, owing to a slight shelling given us as we passed the Old furnace by Gen. Sickles.

Then commenced the most unmerciful march I ex perienced uring the war. It was my fortune or misfortune to participate in rbost of the hard marches made bv the irniy of Northern Virginia, but this dif fered from all others in severity. The loads, or rather paths were very bad. and though the day was exceedingly waim for that season of the year, vet we doubled-quicked almost one half the ime. Not a murmur was heard; every man bent to his work, for he knew "old lack" was going round the bull's horns; put they also knew that if that bull's tail was not switched vcrv fast the oM hero would have a hold on it before the sun went down.

bout five o'clock that evening we reached the turnpike not mcne than bight miles from where we had started in the morning; but to reach this point we had made a circulating march of hot Jess than twenty-five miles, and I have neard many place it as high as thirty. turned square to the right down the turnpike and began to move veryslow couriers, too, began to: ride about in a jVery suspicious manner, calculated to set one thinking there was something in the wind, and yet not a gun had been heard by our command for more than six hours. Then, as sudden as a clan of the lines composed of Rhodes' nnH folct'onc nriciftn 1 i uivtjiuiia uiiiiubi 'simultaneously on each side of the road 'not more than two hundred yards in our iront. we knew in a moment that "old Jack" had his grip on the tail of Tau rus." Gen. A.

P. Hill's division continued to move by the flank down the turnpike and most of the time it took doublequick to keep up with Rhodes and Colston. Our brigade (Lane's) was at the head of A. P. Hill's division, and my regiment (the 37th North Carolina was the leading regiment of the brigade.

vjcu. jaiKson roae siowiy on by the right of our command, and I had a good opportunity of studying as well as my limited abilities would allow me, the noble features nf his face. In a few minutes we entered an open field at least a half mile wine. Just as our column rearherf thic field our lines of battle on earh sirU r.f the road came pouring out of the wilderness. And on the other side of the field, or rather about mid way.

were the flying Dutchmen" of Howard's rnrnc Then and there I witnessed a scene that is simply indescribable two Confederate lines of battle rushing on to virtorv "rebel veil." nnrl in fulfvieflpas their leader Having hn raised in the saddle as a fox-hunter. I was reminded forcibly of the chase, when animation is stamnerf on pvoa) face. Camp fires, over which were sus pended pots of fresh beef, were blazing in every direction, and many was the "old reb" who hauled his supper from the bottom of these vessels on the point of his bayonet. By this time the enemv had wakeH to his real situation. Reinlorcements were hurried forward to the Howard, only to become ta i f--st ri -lr and hurled back into the wilderness with the Eleventh carps.

When within about half a mile of Chancellorsville. the enemy opened upon us with all the cannon he could collect around the place and for a short: time we were snh. jected to the severest fire I ever exper ienced. Gen 1 Hill's division filled the road for several miles, bore the whole of this cannonade, of course lying flat upon the ground. As soon as the fire slackened we moved forward and occupied without firing a gun the inner creastworics oi Hooker, those im mediately around the vil a of lorsville.

The destroy of our country was at that time nlarerl i Jackson, with the. heavy weight, was about to drop it in the Confederate of the scales. The panic stricken fL rl hoverinS around th? 9.f Chancellorsvills while the splendid division of A. P. Hill, the pride of Jackson's corps, was drawn up in line to deal the terrible blow.

The full moon rose bright, and rendered the night almost bright as In a few short hr, the "Grand Army of the Potomac" was to be driven into the Rappahannock or surrendered upon its banks. Some mav pronounce this the ravings of madness My answer is. "If it was possible for Gen" Stewart to drive it from Chancellorsville after ten hours' time had been mvr, to rally and prepare new breastworks is it unreasonable to suppose it could have been annihilated in its confused, panic-stricken bv a splendid division, perfectly fresh, and ed hv Tar-ts" shall die in the belief that histof would have been hanged had Jackson been spared to his country just two short hours more But that was not to be; the God of battles decreed it otherwise. Our idolized leader -was strir-bpn ctllU command ri7rwt Stewart, who was nnir a did not reach us until far in the night. "Vigor not only prevented my wife from becoming bald, but it also caused an entirely new growth of hair.

I am ready to certify to this statement before a justice of the peace." H. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa, i "Some years ago, after a severe attack ot brain fever, my hair all came out. I used such preparations for restoring it as my physicians ordered, but failed to produce a growth of hair. I then tried, successively, several articles recommended by dninplria! and all alike fell shortof accomplishing the desired result. The last remedy I applied was Ayer's Hair Vigor, which brought a growth of hair in a few weeks.

I think I used eight bottles in two years; more than, was necessary as a restorative, but I liked it as la dressing, and have continued to use it for that purpose. I believe Ayer's Hair Vigor possesses virtues far above those of any similar preparation now on the market." Vincent Jones, Richmond, Ind. Ayer's HairiVijgor j. PREPARED BY j- j- DEL J. C.
