HANCOCK IN' BATTLE. US HFROIC BEARING UNDER DISASTER AT REAM'S STATION. Alone and Insiipported, With HD Shattered Second Corps. He Struggled Hrovely Again.* Itefeat -General Mile. a. a Volunteer Fighter Thirty Year. Ago, [Copyright. 1W.4 by American Press Association. Book rights reserved.]

£ A M ’ S STATION, on the Weldon railroad, south of Peters hurg, gave Its name to a battle fought near there on Aug 25, 80 years ago Compared with many of the contests of that bloody campaign, from the \N i 1 d e r ness to Petersburg, the notion deserves no loftier name than skirmish. It Inst-

. . (3^ vd but a couple of

hours, and not

„ * ^ _ more than 300 were killed on both shies nntl 1,000 wounded. Yet,during that short time on a very narrow field, the drama of war in Us most terrible features was unrolled For the first hero, Hancock, ‘'The Superb-” for the second, Nelson A. Miles. ’ The Weldon road, from North Carolina into Petersburg, served the Confederates I .‘sieged In that town as a line of supply and after the siege had fairly licgim it lx,! came Grant s object to cut the road Aft er a few miles of it had liecn destroyed the enemy simply bridged the gap by wagoning their freight the last few miles into the Petersburg camps. Hancock, with two divisions of Ids Second corps and Gregg s division of tmoiicrs, nuirched along the track on the 2tth of August and halted at, Ream’s Station, four miles from the left of the Army of the Potomac .''ome weeks lieforo, Wilson's cavalry division returning from a raid of destruction within the Confederate lines, found their march checked at that [mint by a column of I^e s cavalry, and in order to give In tter protection to their slender force had thrown up slight IntronchinentH, covering a small section of track from the north south and west. The existence of those works contributed to the accidontand disaster of Aug. 25. Poorly constructed and unscientifically planned, they proved a snare and delusion to Hancock’s men. Early on the 25th Gregg's troopers rode out from the camps at Ream's Station in tho direction whence the enemy might l>e supposed to approach, for, of w.urs.', Lee could not look quietly on while the bread and meat supply was being cut off from his soldiers in Petersburg In fact, a body of Hampton's cavalry had hung off on t*e Bank of Hancock s column all the way down the railroad, and messages from I nion headquarters in front of Petersburg reached Hancock during the night of the 24th stating that N.ooo or lo.nou Confederates had marched out of their intrenchments In pursuit of the railroad destroyers. Still, rumors of this stamp are common and often not trustworthy, and when Gregg’s scouts and skirmishers re ported that the enemy hanging about tho outposts would not stand and appeared to lie few in nuiiil. r Hancock told his subordinates to continue tearing up the tracks and burning bridges south of the station Hanoock'N Second division, led by General John Gibbon, moved down the road for that purpose, but did not proceed far before it met one of Gregg's mounted brigades hurrying linek to the main camp pursued by a Is sly of mounted Confederatos. After showing a la.hl front to help Gregg s men to get book safely Gibbon also fell hack to his old position within tho intrenchments. Hancock's First division under General Miles, had meanwhile remained In the trenches and formed the right of the line. Gihlnm held the left the two divisions covering three sides of a parallelogram extending east and west Gregg's cavalry was drawn up on the cast side, where there were no parapets. A study of the diagram of the field will give the reader a lesson in tho art of war, for It shows how a faultily arranged cover for lighting troops may Is, worse than no cover at all. The lines running east and wet* were so close together that when they enemy should attack one their lire would pass over and take the men holding the other In reverse. The west face of the works had its peculiar element of weakness also The parapet lay 20 or 30 yards in front of the railroad track, which was partly elevated and partly sunken, so that re enforcements and ammunition could not to sent from the rear to the men fighting in front without exposure to the enemy’s fire, and for the same reason troops overpowered at that point could not retire upon their sup ports without breaking their formation. The Confederates formed their line of battle behind a curtain of woods, which screened their movements, and about 2 o clock charged along tho whole front. Two cavalry brigades, led by Wade Hamp-

what awaited them there, for they recoiled almost Instantly from the fin- of Miles' riflemen and of the Twelfth Massachusetts battery, whose guns, four in number, stood near the angle on the east of the track. Two of Gibbon's batteries, Brown's First Rhode Island and Sleeper's Tenth Massachusetts, posted west of the track, helpisl

to repulse the first attack.

There was time for Hancock to retire after the first demonstration, for Miles had kept the Petersburg rood open Hut Hancock was not the soldier to retreat with- | out a fight, especially knowing, as he did,

THE BATTLE GROUND, ton and M. C. Butler, the noted South Carolinian of today, closed in on the left flunk, intending to work around to the rear, while one brigade made a feint against the short intrenchmcnt on the west, and three others dashed for tho northwest angle near tho railroad. The wagon road, seen in the diagram, purairig to the railroad. was Hancock’s route of communication with the main army. Along that ho expected re-enforcements to march to his aid, or in default of their coming and In tho event of defeat that would be his avenue of retreat. Fortunate It proved that the defense of It was Intrusted to General Miles and his valiant followers. Tho first assailants marched boldly from behind their shelter of woods Into the open ground In front of the Union works. Doubtless they were at first ignorant of

such an op|Hirtunity as that presented at Ream's Station, a chance to meet the en tiny outside his strong intrenchinents He took for granted that the general In | chief, who more than 12 hours lieforo; hod been atvare that a large Confederate | force was following Hancock's expedition on a parallel route, would hurry forward supports sufficient to defend the working parties destroying the track, especially as there were 20,000 men lying idle within four miles of the scene. Orders were given, i therefore, to prepare for battle In the in trenchments. Gregg's cavalrymen piled up a breastwork of fencerails on the defenseless east front, Werner’s First New Jersey battery moved up into the center tohind the railroad In a position to act iu ! any threatened quarter, and one gun of Dauehy’s Twelfth Massachusetts was pushed up tothe northwestern angle to rake tho railway bed in case the Confederates j

attempted to cross the track.

Meanwhile a fresh division of Confcderjjtes marched to tho field and with them two batteries of Colonel IVgram's famous artillery battalion. The enemy numbered at least 16,0U0 and Included the very choicest troops of Lee's army. Between 8:30 and 5 o'clock they made three sepa- | rate dashes at the northwestern angle near the track, and failing to break Miles’ line Colonel Pegram opened a terrific fire upon it with liis eight guns. The shots passed over into Gibbon's trenches. All of Han- * 1 cock’s batteries replied to this fire, and also shelled the woods where the Confedcrates were forming ranks for a grand charge. At 5:40 the line, comprising five brigades, made a bold dash across the open space swept by Hancock's batteries. Canister and shell tore through their ranks, and it seemed for a moment as though they would lie destroyed, but at the crisis .if the combat a provisional brigade lying

Mohair seems the popular material this season, as it sheds the water, so that the garments do not become as heavy as the flannel ones. Serge is also a favorite, as it conies in a variety of colors.

manding surrender. Both Hancock and Miles dashed to the front, leading up a handful, chiefly their staff officers and headquarters guards, and charged the enemy's swarming ranks, hoping to shame

the cowards into action.

The Confederates made the most of their opportunity and rushed up and down the works Into the batteries. The cannoneers of Sleeper's battery fired the right gun Into tho enemy along tho parapets; the second piece was turned to sweep the Inside of

A dark blue serge is quite effective trimmed with white braid in scallops around the neck, sleeves, down the front and around the bottom of the skirt and trousers. A ruffle of white comes from under tho edge, and a white button decorates the center of each scal-

lop.

Silk is often used for the bathing suits and is especially suitable for the accordion plaited skirts. A very Frenchy affair is made with collar, sleeves, accordion plaited skirt and trousers of petunia colored wash silk, with a tight fit- j ting bodice of flowered silk. The sleeves are short and made of two ruffles. The collar is tied with a sailor knot. The trousers are very wide and gathered at the knee. Tho latest French importa- j tion, however, is the bloomer bathing costuma There is no skirt, and the : wide trousers arc gathered into a band at the knee. The striped flannels iu various com- | binatious of color are pretty. A white one striped with black is made with ' a broad collar and belt of white, a deep frill to the waist coming below tho belt. Pluitings of white are let into the skirt. A large anchor embroidered in red on the front of the waist gives a touch of color. One that is natty and becom- j ing has tho skirt and trousers of red serge and the waist and sleeves of white, striped around with red; a wide | jabot shoulder cape of white and white , belt and revets on the skirt. It is also made with the blouse, which seems ex- j tremely popular this season. Another

tiers and nearly all of tho horses had toen shot down filing the fight, and the survivors, unable to defend tir remove their guns, retreated behind the railroad embankment. The enemy then turned north toward Dauchy’s battery. The gun which had been placed near the angle of the works dejugedthem with graiie until surrounded. The commander, Lieutenant Brower, and all the cannoneers were killed defending their piece. The remaining pieces of this battery also fell Into the enemy’s hands, but only for a moment. The stampede and cowardice had only maddened the real heroes of the field General Miles rode into the ranks of his own regiment, the Sixty-first New York, lying on the oust of the broach, and ordered them to form across tho breastworks at right angles. Placing himself in front, he led the way back toward Dauchy’s guns, recapturing the breastworks and the tlin<c guns east of the railroad. Tho Confederates gave way before this assault and retired into the railway cut. Gathering new men as fast as his little band, originally not more than 200strong, wusdepletod bybul- | lets, he crossed tothe outside of the breast- ; works. At this point Hancock joined him, i accompanied by the corps flag, which was a conspicuous target for the enemy’s fire. ! It was pierced by live bullets, and the staff ! was splintered by another one. Hancock’s ' bridle rein was cut in two by shots, and j finally his horse was killed while he rode I forward with Miles, bent upon the recapture of Dauchy’s guns. At last they charged to the very angle where the enemy had broken through, a corps commander and a division commander lighting with less than 100 followers, and among them brigade and regimental commanders and staff officers. Turning thence Into Gibbon's lines, Hancock attempted to rally those demoralized bands to emulate the brave men who redeemed the day on tho right. But they refused to stir, and riding to Werner’s Jersey buttery in tho center ho told Its commander to sweep the groufld, right, left and front, and save what remained of the line. Hampton’s horsemen were crowding Gregg In the rear, and then' was no sign of help coming down the mad which Miles hud so gallantly kept open. Almost surrounded and do- 1 pendent upon men who wouldn't fight, the here was in despair. Already shattered with many wounds, he felt that his war- I rlor strength, his career, his fame, like that of the old corps, always until that day | grand and invincible In buttle, was going to pieces. Placing his hand upon the shoulderof one of his staff, he said, “Colonel, I do not want to die, but I pray God I may never leave this field.” With Werner's battery, Miles’ indomitable sol- : diers and Gregg’s cavalry ho kept the en•my at bay until night covered the retreat back to tho main camps of the army.
