I felt nothing, but I knew that we were marching on Leipzig, and I thought TEE STOBY OF A CONSCRIPT. 269 to myself, "If we have a battle, God grant that you do not get an ugly hurt as at Lutzen, and that you may see Catharine again!" The night following the weather cleared up a little, thou- sands of stars shone out, and we stiH kept on. The nex...t day, about ten o'clock, near a Tillage whose name I cannot recollect, we were ordered to halt, and then we felt a trembling in the air. The colonel and Sergeant Pinto said : "The battle has begun!" and at the same mo- ment, the colonel, waving his sword, cried : "Forward!" We started at a run ; knapsacks, cartouche-boxes muskets, mud, aU drove on ; we cared for nothing. Half an hour after we saw, a few thousand paces ahead, a long column, in which followed artillery, ~ cavalry, and infantry, one after the other ; behind us, on the road to Duben, we saw another, aU pushing forward at their utmost speed.
