He arose from the rocking chair, placed his shotgun at a "carry," and acknowledged the salute, and said: "If that horse pistol that No. 2 soldier has got pointed at my stomach is loaded, I want to declare that this war is over, and you can go to the cook and get your discharges, and fill out your blanks for pensions.
