One of the men created quite a sen- sation by shaking his India rubber, which was on fire ; it flew to pieces in a shower of flame. The effect of the night attack is still shown in the blistered and scorched condition of my field-glasses. We were at this point but a few miles from Amelia Court House, between which and our camp of that night the road from Petersburg joins the road from Eichmond, and the two columns respectively met — the two streams flowed into one — forming what was left of Lee...'s great army of Northern Virginia — the men exchanging in the fresh morning air kindly greetings with one an- other, from Texas to Maryland, fiom the Potomac to the Rio Grande. They marched along, leaving THE FALLING FLAG. 19 their fate in the hands of the great leader thev knew so well and had trusted so long. About a mile or two from Amelia Court House our brigade was ordered to graze their horses in a clover field, still keeping the regiments together as near as could be in squadrons, for we could make no calculations, as will be seen, upon the movements of the enemy's cavalry.
