THE VOICE IN THE DARK. A Memory of Pickett's Brijjade and a Nloht Attack. Some years after the civil war a gathering of veterans of both sides wa3 exchanging reminiscences at a banquet given by the board of trade of New York, writes Mrs. La Salle Corbell Pickett in Lippincott's. The presiding officer was Colonel J. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia regimeut, Pickett's division. He was speaking of night attacks and recalled one in particular, not because of its startling horrors, but because of a peculiar circumstance, almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-tthe obey- . ii. i . i
mg, us it. wure, oi a mgner command than that of earth. "The point of attack had been carefully selected," said Colonel Phillips, "the awaited dark night had arrived, and my command was to tire when (leneral Pickett should signal the order. "There was that dread, indescribable stillness, that weird, ominous sience, that always Bottles over everything before a fight. You felt that nowhere in the universe was there any voice or motion. "Suddenly the awesome silence was broken by the sound of a deep, full voice rolling over the black void like the billows of a great sea, directly in lino with our guns. It was singing the old hymn, 'Jesus, Lover of Mj Soul.' "I have heard that grand old music many times in circumstances which intensified its iraprcssivcness, but never had it seemed so
Bolcmn as when it broke tho stillness in which wo waited for the or
der to fire. Just as it was given there rang through tho night tho
words :
"Cover my defonstlcss head With the shadow of thy wins. " 'Ready! Aim! Firo to tho
left, boys!' I said.
The guns were shifted, the vol
ley that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenseless head was 'cov
ered' with the shadow of his wing."
A reucrnl veteran who had been
listening looked up suddenly and said:
"I remember thnt night, colonel,
and that midnight attack which
carried off so many of my comrades.
I was the einfror."
There was a second of silence. Then "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," rang across that banquet board as on that black night in 18G4 it .had rung across thc lines at Bermuda Hundred.
