While 1 was serving in the Army ol
the Potomac la Virginia us captnln ol
B company, th Pennsylvania volun
teer infantry a countryman came intu
camp and told a pitiful story. Ho said
that Ue was a Union man and during
tlie BeccHttion disputes had nailed a
little cotton American Hag up over
bis bouse and kept It there, even after
the state of Vlrgluiu bad seceded
Just before our occupation of the re
gioa a mob bad burned the taouse
tlio Oag fluttering amid the flumes
and murdered bis wife and children
He happened to be away at the time
and when be returned be found his
family dead and bis borne a beup of
charred ruins. He asked to be per
mlttcd to enlist, and I took him Into
my company, lie sntd be could neither
read nor write and made his mark In
stead of signing hlB name, which was
ICnoch Saunders.
I put Private Saunders In charge of
a drill sergeant, with orders to teach
hi rn the manual of arms. A few hours
later the sergeant came to me u ml
said that the man was so stupid Hint
It was well nigh Impossible to teach
him anything and suggested that It
might be better to make a mule driver
of him. I told bins that considering
the rapidity with which our men were
being killed off we needed food for
powder more than men to' be kicked
to death and told him to keep at tin
Job till he made Sanndcrs fit to be shot
The next I benrd of Saunders he wa
sent from general headquarters uudei
care of an orderly to me with the In
formation that he bad asked the gen
era I when he proposed to move against
the enemy. He was anxious to know
since be wns thirsting for revenge. 1
hardly knew what to do with the man
Ue seemed too Ingenuous, too stupid
to punish, bo 1 explained to htm that
not even the colonel would dare ash
the general such a nut-'fttlon us be hnri
asked. lie seemed much surprised
and said that If we wero not going
right on he thought he would Just go
ahead alone, for he couldn't stand li
to be waiting In camp while the mur
derers of his wife and children were
unpunished.
I could scnrcely repress a smile ns
I explained to him that he hud en
listed for three years and would not
be permitted to fight on his own hook
Whereupon he said he reckoned he
would go without permission. 1 lu
formed him that If lit did so and we
could gut our hands on him he would
bo shot for a deserter. This see i tied
to astonish him still more.
! kept my eyes on him and whs ns
ton Islied at the rnpldity with which he
Improved. In a week when seeing hhn
marching out on picket duty 1 scarcely
recogujzed him for the stupid poor
white Virglnliin who had come Into
our camp with woeful tale.
The next thing that surprised me
wns hearing that Saunders had been
detailed, by the adjutant for duty
at the headnunrters of the general In
chief. I wondered what he could lie
wanted for there, but soldiers are not
supposed to ask quest ions of t heir
superiors and I refrained, lies ides at
that time our regiment was the tup
of the left wing of the army nnd no
where near the general In chief's head
quarters.
Not Ions? after this the regimental
quartermaster happened to men t Ion
having Just come from army head
quarters and I asked him If he h:id
seen anything there of a red headed
recruit from "ours" named Saunders
He said Hint he had been lu the assist
nut adjutant general's otlP'e and had
seen a red headed man writing at a
pine desk whose fiice seemed familiar
to him. I told hhn that It couldn't
he Saunders, for the man couldn't
write his own name.
I thought no more of the matter. We
moved forward soon after this nnd
with constant fluhtlng our army passed
through many chunges. Having been
sent to the headquarter of the army
hy the colonel with a message. 1
caught sight of Saunders. The gen
eral and bis start were In (he Held
nml moving, sti that no clerical work
was iH'lng done. Saunders pretended
: not to see me ami moved n way
j rapidly. I pointed him out to on of
j tleer of (he staff as he was passing out
i of sight who told me thai he was a
! clerk In the adjutant general's de
j partment nnd had been detailed for
! that duty because he wrote a splendid
I hand.
1 was so puzzled nt this fool who
I couldn't sign his name writing a Hue
hand that It took some time for tlje
situation to get through my own stupid
brain. By the time It had effected n
I lodgment there Saunders had dNap-
peared. 1 hurriedly told the otllcer
who told mo about Saunders being a
; clerk the story of the hitter's enlist
incut, nnd nd.led that 1 IveMeved the
fellow was n spy. We both went to
I the general with my suspicious nn-1
