Comparative order was restored, and all were posted to the best advantage. I herewith inclose the official report of Captain Belly, commanding officer of the New York Sixty-ninth; also, fall lists of the killed, wounded, and missing. Our loss was heavy, and occurred chiefly at the point near where Rickett's battery was destroyed.
"If it were possible to treat such a buffoon as you seriously, she wouldn't. I hope you are none the worse for the adventure, Miss Moore." "No, really I am not," said Juliet. "And I am still feeling very grateful." She smiled at the squire. "Good-bye! I must be getting back to Mrs. Rickett's or the dumplings will be cold."
General Wallace, with Rickett's division and his own command, the latter mostly new and undisciplined troops, pushed out from Baltimore with great promptness, and met the enemy in force on the Monocacy, near the crossing of the railroad bridge.
He seemed dazed-like when they told him she were gone, and just went straight out without a word. No one ever saw young Dick break down after that. He's got a will like steel." "And the horrible husband?" asked Juliet, now thoroughly interested in Mrs. Rickett's favourite tragedy. "I were coming to him," said Mrs. Rickett, with obvious relish.
My cousin, Joe Tarpey, came down from Staunton with a barrel of so'gum whisky, and and " "You drank too much and was caught where you had no business to be. However," Dick added, sternly, "the regiment marches in the morning you must get out of here. Soldier, show me to Captain Payne's quarters. Say to him that Major Braine, of Rickett's Legion, desires to speak with him a moment."
Quinby's regiment advanced steadily down the hill and up the ridge, from which he opened fire upon the enemy, who had made another stand on ground very favorable to him, and the regiment continued advancing as the enemy gave way, till the head of the column reached the point near which Rickett's battery was so severely cut up.
As the man came slowly along the winding passage-way, Dick whispered: "You are a recruit in Rickett's legion; you were drunk and lost your way, and I am your major; you are stationed at Fort Lee near Mechanicsville, and you belong to Company G." Jack pretended to be sound asleep when the soldier and Dick entered.
When the two corps had all got through the canyon they were formed with Getty's division of the Sixth to the left of the Berryville pike, Rickett's division to the right of the pike, and Russell's division in reserve in rear of the other two.
When I went first to Baton Rouge, in 1859, en route to Alexandria, I found Captain Rickett's company of artillery stationed in the arsenal, but soon after there was somewhat of a clamor on the Texas frontier about Brownsville, which induced the War Department to order Rickett's company to that frontier.
He's delirious, and he thinks he's back to the night he you know. Wouldn't he do the same thing again, and make for the mountains and the cabin? He went to the cabin before." Bassett looked at his watch. It was half past twelve. "Even if I could get a horse I couldn't get out of the town." "You might, on foot. They'll be trailing Rickett's horse by dawn.
