These men were s brave as any that ever wore a uni form and some of them performed gotxl service afterward, but when they went into this action they were raw militia, a mere mob, and no mob can stand against discipline, even though it be but the discipline of the savage. - Lincoln "Often Hungry." The next day Whiteside moved with nil possible celerity to the field of the disaster and, finding no euemy, was forced to co::tc::t himself Avith the mel ancholy duty of burying the mutilated and unsightly remains of the dead. The army was now suffering for want of provisions. The folly of the command er in casting off his baggage train for the forced march on Dixon, the extrav agance and improvidence of the men with their scanty rations, had exhaust , ed the resources of the quartermasters, I and. except in the messes of the most ' I careful and experienced, the camp was nearly destitute of food. The majority had been living on parched corn and coffee for two or three days. "I can truly say I was often hungry," iaid Captain Lincoln, reviewing the events of this campaign. He was, doubtless, as destitute and wretched as the rest, but he was patient, quiet and resolute, nuuger brought with it a dis contented and mutinous spirit The men complained bitterly of all they had been made to endure and clamored loudly for a general discharge. But Captain Lincoln kept the even tenor of his way. and. wh?n his regiment was disbauded. immediately enlisted as a private soldier in another com pany. nuiu uit- uouimriu uucuc l, turned, to ms okl camp at Uixon, but determined before doing so to make one more attempt to retrieve his ill for- tuue. Black Hawk's pirogues were supposed to be lying a few miles dis- j tant in a bend of the Rock river, and j the capture of these would serve as some relief to the dreary series of er rors and miscarriages which had hith erto marked the campaign. But Black Hawk had just been teaching him strategy In the most effective mode, and the present movement was under taken with an excess of caution almost as ludicrous as Stillman's bravado.

When he Would set a certain distance, keeping in sight, a second would start, and sc on, until a string of men extending vo miles from the main army was made, each to look out for Indians and give the sign to right, left or front by hanging a hat on a bayonet erect for the front and right or left, as the case mig'.it be. To raise men to go ahead was with difficulty done, and some tried hard to drop back, but we got through safe and found the place de sevied, leaving plenty of Indian signs a dead dog and several rcalps taken in !l til harm's defeat, as we supposed them to have been taken. After this, the last of General V.'hitesicle's futile attempts, returned to the battlefield and thence t: IHxon, where he was joined by Atkinson, with the regulars and the long coveted and much needed .sup plies. Ivior to this, however, an old Indian fov.r.d his way into the camp, weary, hungry and helpless. He professed to be a friend of the whites and ventured to throw himself upon the mercy of the soldiers. But the men first mur mured and then broke out into fierce cries for his blood. "We have come out to fight the Indians.'.' said they, "and we intend to d.: it!" The poor old Indian now, in the extremity of Lis distress and peril, did what he ought to have done before; he threw down be fore las assailants a soiled and crum pled paper, which he implored them to read before his life was taken. It was a letter of character and safe conduct from General Cass, pronouncing him s faithful mn who had done good serv ice in the cause for which this army was enlisted. But it was too late. The men refused to read it or thought it a forgery and were rushing with fury upon the defenseless old savage when Captain Lincoln bounded between them and their appointed victim. "Men," said he, and his voice for a moment stilled the agitation around him, "this must not be done. He must not be shot and killed by us." "But," said some of them, "the Indian ia a cussed spy." Lincoln knew-4hat his own life was now In only less danger than that of the poor creature that crouched behind him.

They paused, listened, fell back and then sullenly obeyed what seemed to be the voice of reason, as well as au thority. But there were still some mur murs of disappointed rage and half suppressed exclamations which looked toward vengeanceNof some kind. At length one of the men a little bolder than the rest, but evidently feeling that he spoke for the whole, cried out, "This is cowardly on your part, Lin coln!" Whereupon the tall captain's figure stretched a few inches higher again.

"This you can guard against; choose your weapons," returned the rigid captain.

Mr. Lincoln understood his men bet ter than those who would be disposed to criticise his conduct. He has often declared himself that his life and char acter were both at stake and would probably have been lost had he not at that supremely critical moment forgot ten the officer and asserted the man. To have ordered the offenders under arrest would have created a formida ble mutiny; to have tried and punished them would have been impossible. They could scarcely be called soldiers. They were merely armed citizens with a nominal military organization. They were but recently enlisted, and theii term of service was just about to ex pire. Had he preferred charges against them and offered to submit their differ: ences to a court of any sort it would have been regarded as an act of per sonal pusillanimity, and his efficiency would have been gone forever.
