Sergeant Coleman, also of the 97th Regiment, exhibited coolness and bravery unsurpassed, when, on the night of 30th August, the enemy attacked a new sap and drove in the working party.

While the aristocracy of the place the Bulders, and Clubbers, and Snipes were thus preserving their dignity at the upper end of the room, the other classes of society were imitating their example in other parts of it. The less aristocratic officers of the 97th devoted themselves to the families of the less important functionaries from the dockyard.

Colonel George D. Robinson, 97th United States colored troops, states as follows: I was sent out to Connecuh, Covington, Coffee, Dale, and Henry counties, to administer the amnesty oath. I was at Covington myself, having officers under my orders stationed in the other four counties. I travelled through Connecuh and Covington; about the other counties I have reports from my officers.

"My dear aunt," said Kate one morning after their walk upon the pier, "how you did snub that Captain Bellfield!" "Captain Bellfield, indeed! I don't believe he's a captain at all. At any rate he has sold out, and the tradesmen have had a scramble for the money. He was only a lieutenant when the 97th were in Manchester, and I'm sure he's never had a shilling to purchase since that."

Some of the crowd were talking about jet fighters and it suddenly dawned on me that just across the parking lot was the operations office of the local ADC jet outfit, the 97th Fighter Interceptor Squadron. I ran over to interceptor operations and went in. I knew the duty officer because several times before the 97th people had chased balloons over Dayton.

Then a portion of this force stealthily advanced, seeking to take the British by surprise. The first to discover the presence of the enemy was Hedley Vicars. With great judgment he made his men lie down till the Russians were within twenty paces. Then, springing to his feet, he shouted: "Now, 97th, on your pins and charge!" His force was about 200, that of the enemy nearly 2000!

Here is an epigram quite to my taste, elegant and witty, without ill-nature or satire. On Buonaparte's return from Elba, his regiment, the 97th, was summoned home. January 10, 1816. The authoress of Pride and Prejudice has been so good as to send to me a new novel just published, Emma. We are reading France in 1814 and 1815, by young Alison and Mr. Tytler: the first volume good.

Winkle, after the waiter had retired 'officers of the 97th, whose acquaintance I made rather oddly this morning. You will like them very much. Mr. Pickwick's equanimity was at once restored. The waiter returned, and ushered three gentlemen into the room. 'Lieutenant Tappleton, said Mr. Winkle, 'Lieutenant Tappleton, Mr. Pickwick Doctor Payne, Mr. Pickwick Mr.

Tomlinson, the post-office keeper, seemed by mutual consent to have been chosen the leader of the trade party. One of the most popular personages, in his own circle, present, was a little fat man, with a ring of upright black hair round his head, and an extensive bald plain on the top of it Doctor Slammer, surgeon to the 97th.

I was informed by a prominent South Carolinian in July, that the planters in certain localities in the northwestern part of his State had been on the point of doing so, but better counsel had been made to prevail upon them; and Colonel Robinson, 97th United States Colored Infantry, who had been sent out to several counties in southern Alabama to administer the amnesty oath, reported a general disposition among the planters of that region to "set the colored people who had cultivated their crops during the summer, adrift as soon as the crops would be secured, and not to permit the negro to remain upon any footing of equality with the white man in that country."
