Si was a true type of those who had to suffer for the good of others until they learned wisdom in the school of experience. "I'VE GOT to have a man to drive team for a few days," said the Orderly of Co. Q of the 200th Ind. one morning at roll-call. "The teamster's sick and I'm goin' to send him to the hospital to-day." The Orderly-Sergeant of Co. Q was a wily fellow.
Palpitating with pride, Si marched his prisoners up to the company, who gave him three cheers. The Captain ordered him to report with his prisoners to the Colonel. The Colonel praised him with words that made his blood tingle. The skirmishing off to the right had now ceased. The rebels had fallen back to the next hilltop, and the 200th Ind. was ordered to go into camp where it stood.
In partnership with the American people, we will achieve these objectives. As our 200th anniversary approaches, we owe it to ourselves and to posterity to rebuild our political and economic strength. Let us make America once again and for centuries more to come what it has so long been a stronghold and a beacon-light of liberty for the whole world. Thank you.
The Colonel's clear, penetrating tones rang above the tumult: "Attention, 200th Ind.! Every man for himself across the fields. Rally on the fence beyond." Shorty, whose face had been scratched by a bullet, took little Pete by the hand. "Now, run for it, my boy, as you never run before in your life. Hold on to your gun."
A few irrepressible fellows managed to get a choice meal now and then just enough to show that the 200th Ind. was not without latent talent in this direction, which only needed a little encouragement to become fruitful of results. But these orders against foraging didn't hold the soldiers of the crop of 1861. It was like trying to carry water in a sieve.
I believe it's the shoe-makers that's runnin' this war in the interest o' their business." The cold, soaking rain had reduced the most of the 200th Ind. to a mood when they would have disputed the Ten Commandments and quarreled with their mothers.
"What sort of a breach of the peace is this you are committing, Capt. McGillicuddy?" asked Col. McBiddle, coming up at the head of the 200th Ind. "And do you want some accomplices?" "I believe if you'll give me another company I can make a rush across there and scatter those fellows," answered the Captain. "All right. Take Co.
But the State of our Union will be much stronger 8 years from now on our 200th birthday if we resolve to reach these goals now. They are more important much more important than the identity of the party or the President who will then be in office. These goals are what the fighting and our alliances are really meant to protect. Can we achieve these goals? Of course we can if we will.
He thought the breathing spells were very short and a long way apart. Si's knapsack had experienced the universal shrinkage, as told in a previous chapter of our hero's martial career. He still had, however, a good many things that he thought he couldn't spare, but which he found later he could very well get along without. By noon the 200th began to show signs of going to pieces.
The sadly-shrunken remnant of the unconquer able 200th Ind. gathered around its regimental colors, on the front of the crest of Snodgrass Hill, and grimly, silently prepared for the next event, whatever it might be. The wounds of those still able to fight were bound up, and they resumed their places in line.
