PRIVATE DAN WEIGHT. A Modeet Hem t tn Btt or Cedar Mountain. H Sisslisd a HmmIoi BatTOdsl WO So Awp II Ci.lU 1M ta TW Wmr Ciiaialstat The history of the (rrest civil war k faU of iocideots of startling and heroic character. Bat few, comparatively, of the brave deeds perforoied or suffer iusre eodnred are ever recorded. They remain a sort of family treasure, and are told at the fireside on winter even ing When we remember that over two million aoldiere were mustered in- w the union army between 1861 and we are struck with wonder that men a mightr volunteer army could be rcu-shaled. We are ant. however, tc look at It as aa entirety, as a whole. or at moat, we individualize only M lu as to note the character and eon iiuct of its Treat leaders. The names ut (Irant, Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan and a few more are on our bps, while the hundreds of thousands who per- l.imied the duties of private soldiers, and are now at their homes perform ing the duties of private eitixens, or are sleeping in the quiet graves where thev fell in battle, are hardly thought of. My theme is the private soldier, and "Dan Wright" is my nero. He was a quiet, retiring bov. In the summer of 1SSS be came into my office and wanted to learn the trade of a printer. We talked together a few minutes, and I was satisfied that he would answer my purpose. I needed a "devil" The boy who had filled that important place had been promoted, and so it agreed that he should come into the ofiice as an apprentice and remain iliroe years. He began work. Nothing of special interest transpired daring h s apprenticeship. He was quiet, in dustrious, thoughtful, and that was slL His term of service expired on Satur day, April 13, 1861, the day after the fail of Sumter. On the evening of Mi.nday following a public meeting was held at Citizen's halL Speeches were made. The excitement was in- tense, - At the close of the meeting there was a call for volunteers. Among others. Jian Wright came forward. I watched turn as he came up. There was a quiet look and manner about bun quite in contrast with most of those who signed tlieir names to tbe enlistment roll He did it just as be would perform any fluty about the omee. 1 said:. "W try. Thin, are you going? 1 thought that. as you are just through with your ap prenticeship, yon would like to remain with me awhile. Yon would nuke a good foreman and, what is more, yon could begin to lay by a little money now. He replied: -"Mr. H , yon nave been very kind to me, and I had in tended to remain with yon, if yon were willing. But I think I ought to go to the war. 1 may be back after awhile, but if I should not come back, perhaps it is as well. One ought to be willing .to do a little for his country." Be was mustered into Company G, Seventh regiment. The Seventh was good regiment, filled np with excellent men, and, during the progress of tbe war, did some splendid fighting. There was very little opportunity for fur loughs in the regiment. We heard of it through tbe papers occasionally. The only report that came as to Dan Wright was that be was a good soldier. In the summer of 166! be came borne. He stopped a few days with bis moth' er and sisters. On the 4th of July be was in Bnvenna and took dinner at my house. After dinner we went oat walking. I inquired of him as to bis experience in tbe service. From him beard that be bad been in excellent health; that a soldier's life agreed with him; that be bad obtained valuable experience; bad had a good opportuni ty to atndv, not only the art of war and the questions connected with tbe con troversy between the two sections, but -also to study the geography of tbe country end the conditions of tbe peo ple. Be had proven to be a close ob server of men and things, and be gave me a great deal of information not found in the newspapers. He bad a diary in which be bad jotted down the result of his observations. He bad already filled two or three books, and it was a wonder to me bow be found time to do so much writing. He said it was a source of pleasure, and if he lived long might be of some service. There are a great many newspaper made men in the country, lien whose lame depends not so much upon what they do as upon their ability to get the eye of tbe newspaper press and have their performances heralded to tbe world. This was especially so in tbe army. The successful general was oftentimes the one who kept on. the T!?ht side of the newspaper correspond ents. Some men were written np, and others of equal merit were written down, and .Cher brave, conscientious and capable commanders were left without notice. ""V" Our conversation was long and piess ; ant. He told me not only of tbe war, but also of his personal experiences and of acquaintances that be bad formed. Among other things he ex hibited to me the photograph of a beau tiful girL iler borne was Winchester, Vs., and she belonged to a good family. 1 don't know what chance had brought them together, bat it was very evident from bis conversation that an attach ment hud grown np between them. I bantered him a little on going down south to capture toe rebels and tnen being captured himself. The time had come for him to go back nearly due upon which he was to take bis departure. As he turned to go he said: "Good-by, Mr. B . I want to thank yon for the kind things yon have done for me. My tune has come to go. 1 shall never see you again." Struck by thi remark, as well as his impressive manner, I replied: "Cheer up, San, 'o doubt w shall meet often Bon&i- When tfca war If Tba Sxperlenoe of a Drummer In the Bush for Land.

The government will be saved; but I shall not live to see It. I'donot hesitate to go. Jt is in the line of duty, and a brave man ought never to fear death. 1 shall probably die in oatue; but. whether in battle or euewnera, my death fc sure to come before the war is over, flood-by." He went away. Feeling a deep ln- .Trcst in the young man, and believing be was entitled to a better position than that of a private, I interested my self with the authorities, and in a short time it was arranged that he was to be appointed a lieutenant in one of the companies of tbe one uunarea ana Fourth regiment, then farming, with headquarters at Camp Hassillon. His credentials were duly maae oui ana forwarded to tbe colonel of the Seventh mt th-n in tbe field, with in structions to send Wright to join the horse for peacemaker and following I new regiment in Ohio. Tbe papers reached the regiment the day before the battle of Cedar Mountain. Wright was sent fur, informed by tbe com manding officer that his commission had been received, and be could go im mediately to Ohio. Dan replied: "I am glad to receive this appointment, and 1 will try to fill tbe place acceptably, but I hope, air. van will permit me to remain nere a few days. We are probably on the eve of an engagement, and 1 shall be bet ter satisfied to stay with tbe boys tilt the fight is over. It wouldn't be manly to go away now." Tbe rea nest was granted. The next day occurred one of the bloody battles of the war. In tbe heat of tbe con- teat the Seventh regiment was hotly engaged and suffered from a tremen dous fire of the enemy. Dan Wright was wounded by a shot in the face. Capt. Been saia to nim: 'Ton are badly hart; better go to tbe rear." Dan answered: "It is not so bad, cap tain. I can still use my musket" Hardly had the words been uttered, when another ball came and buried it self in his brain. He fell dead on tbe field. Tbe battle still waged with terrible fury, and when the day was over tbe ground occupied by the union army in the morning, with its bloody burden of anion dead, was occupied by tbe con federate forces. Dan Wright's life was over, ills prophecy was luuiiiea A dav or two later the daily papers announced the fact that in the battle of Cedar Mountain the onion loss was fifteen hundred killed, wounded and A little later the list of dead was given, and in tbe list was tbe name , of Dan Wright It was only one life gone out and to the great world at . , , i . : ... ).., a ;v u t ZZZZZZTZ, ZTZ I vZtZZ on hogback and came back as an -h TW. motile lived, the news was I extra passenger in a prairie sctiooncr iit. .d interest Men and i ex-boomer's wagon.

I have been under the impression that 1 could ride, and it sticking on a horse's back means good riding I have nothing to be ashamed of, for I certainly did not fall off. Otherwise I was a complete failure as a rider, for the hoine went at his own gait, turned when he wanted to and treated my desires with a contempt which was supreme. It was nearly three o'clock before he got so tired ont that I was able to stop him, and by that time he had got me into one of the wort.t sec tions in the strip, where the ground did not begin to be worth the uinount the government asked for it V nether those who obtained the claim!, got ill on balloons or whether they sneaked in over night I am not prepared to say, but every claim with pretense of herb- age or water on it was occupied, and ! one man had a houttc half built It did ' not take me long to make up my mind ; that the sooner I could get bac into Kansas the better, but I had no idea of the enormous distance 1 hud trttveled until I had got well into the journey on an exhausted horse which naeded both food and water badly.

But while I hare my pen in bond, I wish to record a farther incident con nected with Don Wright. Fifteen years after the close of the war a letter was received one day by the famuy of Dan Wright 1 dou't remember to whom it was directed. It was postmarked Charleston, 8. C Wbcn opened it was found to be written by a person of whom they had never heard. It stated in substance that the writer was, in 1S12, a soldier in the confederate army under Jackson; that he was at the bat tie of Cedar Mountain, and when tbe eon test was over he and some of his comrades were detailed to bury the dead; that among tbe anion soldiers who. had fallen on tbe field was a young man of dark eomplcxiou aud somewhat striking appearance, and when they eame to move him they foond on his person a pocket Testament, a diary and two or three letters. Tbe soldier took these and had ever since retained possession of them, aud after a perusal of the contents of the diary he had determined if possible io send them to the friends of the de ceased, from the papers fonnd he had learned that the name of the dead soldier was Wright, and that be be lonsed to an Ohio regiment. Be had written to various points, but so lari LIVER, KIDHEY AHD COSSTIPATIOK CUKE, Pleasant to take by old or young, iso griping.

Io a few days a package came by express from Charleston, It contained the Testa ment, the diary and tbe letters. The diary was a daily memorandum or rec ord of events, and the last i.nes were written on the morning of t lie battle.
