Battle of South Mountain.
Thermopylae cf the Civil War-
Gen. D. H. Uill Accomplished
a Magnificent Feat of Arms
in Holding McClellnnd's 60,.
000 Men at Bay for an Entire
Day With Only 5,000 Confederates.
PART III.
I underatanl how he got the 15,
000 for they were all scared, and
when the Tar Heels of Garland aud
Anderson would givo them a volley
and a yell, down the tnou- tain they
would go. Colquitt's men would
take it up in the centre and Rhode's
men would send back an answer
0,000 old rebels veiling on the
mountain! I suppose McClelland
and his trembling host thought Lee
and his whole-army was there sure
enough, ana when Col. Clark of
Banks staff, came with his icporr,
he believed him.
When the truthful historian takes
the official records of both armies,
separates the chatf from the grain a
great many of the so-called histories
win ue cnangeu.
.if Sharpsburg, September 17,
186S. D. H. Hill's Division held
the centre on that bloody field.
irV nFmderfksburff' December,
low, mil 8 Division was the ex
treme division on the righ of Jack
son's Corps, and was not called into
action in that battle.
At Fredericksburg, Gen Hill was
promoted to lieutenant general aud
6cnt to the Western arm v. Gen.
htiodes was promoted to major gen
eral and was put in command of a

ot Jackson's Corps which wa in the
lead when it struck ihe hireling
host of Hooker in the Wilderness,
routed it, captured its guns, camps,
etc., and drove it from the Held.
I hat night when Jackson urwl A I
Kill were wounded, Rhodts was the
commanding general on the field.
Wheu Stuart came to help him, it
was the tr.mp of the old division
that kept time and its rifles thht
mad music for that gav cavalier
song, "Uld Joe Hooker. Get out of
the Wilderness." And be got.
GETTYSBCKO.
Comrades, there has been so much
written about this battle that any
thing I would say would be tame.
But I will add that wheu you read
in thesj histories of Rhodes' Di?i
sion, Ewell'a Corps (Jackson had
died aud Ewell was commanding
his old corps), that was the old di
vision. It got there along with the
first, did as much fitfhtiu? as any of
them, more thau some, took every
positiou it was orJered to take and
held it, and never left the field until
it had orders to do so. With plain
plantation maoners I will say that
the fight witf like the accidental
meeting of two old, equally matched
game cocks, one having flown ovrr
into the other's barnyard. They
niauoMiverrd around some passed a
few scientific licks, shed some blood
and dropped some feathers, discov
ered that neither one could whip
