THK CONSCBIPi'S (Contiuued.) by tho First Michigan engineers. Snow accompanied the general on this tour and made memoranda from time to time at his suggestion. It was about 9 o'olook when General Bragg, -with the officers of his staff, who accompanied him, started back for bis headquarters. The night was intensely dark. Here and there a campfire had tried to live m the face of the downpour of rain that froze as it fell, giving the overcoats of the shivering men who stood m the dim red light the appearanoe of armor. Off the pike the roads were m such a state that the horses sunk half vnay to their knees at every step, and any speed greater than a walk was out of the question. As usual when he accompanied the general, Snow rode to the rear among the orderlies. This night he was alone, the orderlies having been dispatched to different points along the lines, where m the course of the day there had been many collisions. No heed was paid to the young man. It was his duty to keep up with the staff, and if he failed to do so he must make his way back as best he could. His mount was not the best, so that m any event he would have been left to the rear. Laverne was Snow's objeotive point. He believed that at that place were the nearest Union troops. In this, as it turned out, the young man was mis. "Are you Union or rebel?" taken. He held back iv the miry road till the explosive breathing and soggy tramping of the horsqs m front died out, then he turned to the left, m which di- rection lay Stone river and his destina- tion. The fields were nearly as miry as the roads, and when he reached a stretch of ceefar jungle the branches were so stiff with ico and the trunks of the trees so close together that he was forced to dismount. As he could travel better on foot he took the saddle and bridle off his horse and left the jaded creature to shift for himself. After this Snow lost all sense of di- rection, and aftor passing the scrub ce- dars he waited, hoping to hear the grand zounds challenged, for although uncer- tain as to his whereabouts he was satis- fied that he was not far from the Con- federate picket line, beyond which and not more than 100 yards away at some points he was sure the Union piokets would be found. Wet to the skin and with the rain freezing on his clothes, he waited for what to him seemed hours. At length his anxiety was relieved by hearing the oommand, not 50 yards away: "Haiti Who goes thar?" "Grand rounds I" was the response. "Dismount, grand rounds, advanoe and give the countersign. " Snow heard the splash of the officer's feet as he leaped to the ground, then the murmur of voices, followed by the • tramping of horses. They came so close that he had to step back to the timber to avoid being trampled on. As soon as they had gone on he heard another chal- lenge m the far distance, and m the direofcion, as he believed, of the Union lines. He moved on again, this time with the greatest caution. The roar of the Wind and the rattle of the rain on the ioy ground favored his purpose. Now and then he halted with his hand on the stock of his pistol, but beyond the re- ceding challenges on the Confederate side, that seemed to be echoed on that of the Union, he heard nothing to ex- cite alarm. He passed so close to the picket who was the first to challenge that he could hear his smothered oaths as he hugged his musket and paced back and forth on his post to keep his blood from freezing. At length Snow found himself to 'be m what was^neutral ground, but he still kept on, hoping every minute to be halted by a Union pioket. It was an m« desoribably black night, the rain had beaten out the campfirea along both lines, but he kept moving. At length, m his blundering, he came upon a barn that argued tho proximity of a dwelling houso. He fejt very sure that he was now within the Union lines, and co he decided to remain under shelter till day- light. Ho found the door of the building open and walked m. He could tell by the rustling sound that there was a lot of dry fodder scattered over the floor. Intending to make a bed and lie down, he began gathering up the fodder, when he stumbled against a man. Then ho felt himself seized, and a hoarse voice demanded: "Are you Union or rebel?" The intonation as well as tho word "rebel" "convinced Snow that he was m the presence of a friend, so he re- plied: "I was m the rebel service, but I am now trying to make my way through to my friends. What is your regiment?" ' 'The Seventy-seventh Pennsylva- nia, " was the response. '- 'Thank God, I have reached my friends 1" said Snow. The Pennsylvanian was not satisfied till Snow had handed over his pistol; then he accounted for bis own proseuce there by saying that he liad been wound- ed iv the head and stunned near this barn shortly before dark, and that aa soon as he recovered consciousness he made his way to the building to await daylight.
