the battle of Chaneellorsville. dated
May 11th. 1G,, and to a letter
d.ited .Tanuary 1st. IS 73, written
by me for the Riehmond Dixpatch,
at the request of one of it.s editors.
Both of these are to be found in.
Vol. s of the Southern IJ.isAurical
.-ociety rt'e'-i-i-rrTm them you
lsVi 'learn that MeGowau's brigade
ami ours were not in line in Jack-
son'stlank attack on the atternoon
of the nd of Ma v. but marched bv
the tlank. along the plank road, in
rear of the artillery ours being in
front and that as soon a-s it was
ascertained th.it the enemy were
rapidly falling back before Khodes,
we pushed forward with the artil
lery beyond our second and third
lines to within a short distance of
the first. Here, Gen. A. P. Hill,
in person, ordered me, at dark, to
deploy one regiment as skirmishers
across the road, in front of Rhodes,
and to form line of battle in rearot
it with the remainder ot my com
mand, for the purpose of making a
niijht attack and capturing the
enemy's batteries if possible. While
I was giving my orders to this
effect, both sides opened a most
terrific artillery lire along the plank
road, in which our brigade had been
halted. To save my men from this
murderous enfilade fire, I, at once,
ordered them to lie down, and my
start and 1 dismounted on the left
of the road.
During this artillery fight, Col.
V. 11. l'almer, of Gen". Hill's staff,
gallantly crossed the road and in
the dark enquired for me. I called
him. and on his coming up, were
marked upon the severity of the
fire, the low tight of the enemy's
shell, etc., and when he informed
me that Gen. Hill wished to know
why I did not form my line as 1
hid been ordered, I requested 1
to tell Gen. Hill that I had not
ini j
nt-
tempted it on account of the terrific
and murderous aitillery tire, and
that it he wished me to do so mic
c .'ullij. he would have to order his
artillery to vcase tiring, an I be
lieved the enemy were Keeping up
theirs only in response to ours. All

While Lieut. Col. Si'nth u as
ing me that he did not think we
could honorably eaptme his regi
ment, as he was in our lines -wit 1 1
niaj of triici." the enem 's ariil
lery opened upon us again, and the
Pennsylvania regiment broke to:
our rear, tumbled over then own
abandoned works, and lay hid and
sheltered in the abattis until the
tiring ceased. Lieut. -Col. Smith
was then turned over to ("apt.
Adams, ofCren. Hill's staff, and his
regiment ordered to the rear under
('apt. Young our boy captain I and
his company.
On going to the plank-road. I
there learned from Col. Harry t hen
.Major' of the ISth regiment, that he
knew nothing of Generals Jackson
and Hill having gone to the front,
that he could not tell friend Irom
toe in the (lurk and in such a woods
( low scrubby oaks ). t hat when the
skirmish line lired, he heard the
clattering of approachiDg horsemen j
and the cry of cavalry, and that he j
ordered his men to lire. It was;
genei ally understood that night bv
" - ... . . "
my command ttiat tiie lstn regi
ment had not only wounded I'reii
erals Jackson and Hill, '-at killed
some of their couriers, and perhaps
some tA their stall' officers, as some
ot them were missing. Col. Pal
mer rinding that the ISth regiment
kept up its fire and seemed determ
ined to kill tbem all, threw himself
irom ins norse and seriousiv m-
jured his shoulder.
In conversations afterwards. Gen.
Hill always told me that he thought
he was wounded by the enemy, and
Gen. Jackson by the ISth regiment:
and Col. Palmer is of the same
opinion.
Iu all my intercourse with Gen.
Hill, I never heard him. nor have 1
ever heard any one else censure
the ISth regiment for tiring under
the circumstances; and those who
knew our talented young friend
Harry, will always remember him as
one of those fearless, dashing offi
cers, who was especially cool under
tire.
After this unfortunate mistake,
the whole of my command was
moved to the right of the plank
road, and about miduight we re
pulsed two attacks made by Sickles,
in which we captured the colors of
the Third Maine regiment and a
good many prisoners, including a
number of field and company offi
cers, and two staff officers, one of
which was an Aid to General
Williams.
Next morniug, about sunrise, our
brigade, under orders from Gen.
Heth, made a direct front attack
upon the enemy's breastworks and
carried them; but, as our support
ing brigade broke in our tear, we
were driven back before Uamseur's
brigade of North Carolinians could
come to our assistance. Hamseur
went forward and was aNo repulsed,
after reaching the works, with a
similar terrible loss. There were
twenty eight pieces ut' artillery
bearing upon us troni tho Chaneel
lorsville lull. The enemv were
! finally and successfully diiveu by
Gen. Stuart in : flank movement of
infantry and artillery on our right.
My entire loss at Chaneellorsville
was 71! officers and Sd7 men, mak
ing an aggregate of :!, a little
more than one-third of the force
carried in. We well" in with

Practices Domestic
Tin?
Mrs. Arii had
in uncommon good
breakfast this morning. There wa.
a di 'i of baked eggs at my place,
which she knows I am fond of.
While the house was being cleaned
up I noticed that the beds were not
touched, and so I told her 1 would
help t she said no she wanted
them taken out on the piazo to
sun. and so 1 took 'em out, and
then she asked me to take out tin?
bedsteads and the bureau and the
chairs and the sewing machine and
all, as she wanted to clean up a
little. Cleairng up a little is the
old, old story at my house. When
I got through I sat down on the
front piazzo with my pine to rumi
nate a little and rest from my aidu
ous labors. Pretty soon she brought
me a broom and a lake and a twine
string, and asked me to tie the
broom-handle onto the lake for she
wanted to sweep down the cop
webs Irom the walls. 1 under
stand all that, and so I tied it on
and swept 'em all dow n myself and
retired to the piazzo as usual. About
the time I had my feet stuck un 'vn
the banisters, she brou-s'nt out a
hammer and a paper of carpet
tacks and laid 'em down on the
table beside me and smiled. These
movements reminded me of the
carpet that she had been threaten
ing to ait down in the lug family
room for a month, and if there is
any household work that 1 do de
spise to do it is putting down a
carpet. I can't double up and
twist around like I used to. I gave
an involuntary groan and a grunt
or two and went to work. A little
darkey had already brought up a
passel of hay from the barn, and so
we picked if all over and got out
all the little weeds anil coarser
pieces and spread it nicely upon
the floor, and then I unrolled the
carpet from the middle each way
and went to work on one side nail
ing it. It had to be stretched and
fitted all around and the edge on
the hearth was the hardest all, for
Mrs. Arp watched every tack and
if if w as a fraction of an inch out
of line she saw it and I had to keep
pulling and turning under the edges,
and when I was on it I couldn't
pull it and I couldn't get off it for
the wall, and so it was get-up and
get-dow n and work side-ways and
cross-ways, and all sorts of ways,
and I mashed my fingers and
cramped my knetis and twisted off
my suspender buttons, but finally
the work was done to her satisfac
tion sorVr, and
I managed to get i
up and stand up and uethanbtul to
the Lord lor his mercies. By the
time we got all the furniture set
back again and the beds made up
the day was half goue and the chil
dren came home from school and
forgot to wipe their feet at the door
and the dogs followed them into
the house and they all began to
track around with their muddy feet,
but they didn't track long. They
are in the cautious state right now
and s i am I I think I will get
-ome old bagging and put it down
over the carpet so as to save conse
quences. I wish that we men were
as neat and careful as the women
no 1 don't either, for
then we !
wouldn t be much account out ot
doors and would degenerate into
dudes as they call 'cm, but I wish
we had more regard for neatness
than we have. Mrs. Arp says she
don't believe that I would wash the
w indow glass until I couldn't see
out tor the dust and tiy specks and
the dogs would sleep under the bed
and the spiders and Hazards would
live m the closet. But
mean t hat I know, and i
she don't
just talk-
ing after the manner of nice re
spectable women. But I don't see
any use m cleaning up so much
why it takes an hour every morning
to clean iin the family room lor she
x ill take everything off of the
mantel-piece anil the books oil'
ol the shelves, and wip.e of, all the

The sanitary superintendent to w-.
Board of Health of New York city
has recently reported that an in
crease of typhoid cases might be
expected, one of the reasons for the
report being the restiicted supply of
the Croton water for cleansing pur
poses. The gist of the report on this
subject is the requirement of an
abundance of clean w ater for flush
ing all water closet., soil pipes, and
drains. )r. .John C. Peters says
that typhoid fever is caused largely
by broken, overfilled, or otherwise
detective drains, the latter of which
are common in the country, and
there typhoid fever is more common,
in proportion to the number ofin-
habitants
ln small towns and villa
ges, and even isolated farm houses,
than iti large, well sewered cities
with an abundant water supply.
Typhoid fever is largely imported
into New- York and other cities
every fall by visitors returning from
so-cailed health resorts and summer
boarding houses, but it generally
dies out in the city. This year,
however, partly because of the
drought, we have not had sufficient
water to flush our drains, soil pipes,
and sewers. Scientific American.

I have a letter from Rev. James P.

Church in Fredericksburg. Ya.. about
the wounding of Gen. Jack-on. Mr.
Smith was then a Lieutenant, an 1 one
of Gen. Jacks )a's ai ls, and actively en

He says, under date of Dec. 10th. 1SS3;
"Tlit'sui had go'i'1 'iuiru ertajs an

follows:
"Thk Wkatiiki:. In our last we re
corded what we believed to be the clos

but we were sadly premature, since
that time we have not only had a third
one. but a regular series of arctic
weather, on the nights of the 7th and
Sth iust.. the mercury in Fahrenheit's
thermometer fell to zero, and did not
rise higher than twelve degrees above
it either of the succeeding days. It is
now ilOtli. at noon) two degrees below
the freezing point. Our rivers have
been frozen from side to side for two or
three days, and while we write, some
of our fellow-citizens are enjoying
themselves on the Trent in skating,
sliding and sleighing. The oldest in
habitants of the town say we have not
had so severe a winter since that of
17S0."
It will be recollected by some of our
citizens that during this freeze Mr.
Green had a negro to break through the
ice on the Trent and was drowned.
Again we quote from the tame paper
of February oth. ItSGG :
"The weather has been as thoroughly
cold the last week as even a Laplander
could desire. Fahrenheit's thermometer
has not. to our knowledge, been more
than once as high as the freezing point

It has ranged in the entries of our dwel

fell yesterday morning, which was not
the coldest we have had. to within 10
degrees of zero. The Neuse is com
pletely frozen over, and skates, cloaks
and tires are the order of the day."
Once more from the Spectator . Cth

"The weather here has been exceed
ingly col 1 during the greater part of the

Fatal Accident.
Mr. Wuliani J. Gordon, a well-known
insurance agent at Wilmington, met
with a sudden and untimelv death ves-
ter jay. w hile gunning at his farm in
the eastern limits of the city. j
The particulars of thu tad affair, as
far as they could be gathered, are as
follows.
Mr. G

procured a double-barrel
faeech-li '.ad mg shot gun from Mr. Geo.
.V. Peck's hardxvare store, about eight
o'clock in the morning, and between
nine and ten o'clock left his house for a
few hours' -port in the lields surround
ing his home. A colored man employed
on the farm heard and saw him shoot at
a bird m the tield near the dwelling, and
watched him afterwards as he crossed
towards a hue fence, separating the in-clo-nre.
Shortly afterwards the colored
man heard a second shot, but did not
again see Mr. Gordon. About half-past
