	The Battle of Fredericksburg
		With pistol and sword the officers threaten and prevent the passage of another division over their prostrate lines, thereby throwing the advancing column into confusion —a confusion which may have prevented this, the last effort of the army, from being successful, for through the smoke the rebels are seen running from the wall.
		The line was formed, the column moved gallantly forward, reached the line of battle, passed fifty yards beyond, when a deadly fire from behind the stone wall caused it to recoil, and finally to fall back, reforming under the crest from which it started.
		The division was fighting its maiden battle; older troops than they quailed before the murderous volleys now making-great gaps through their ranks ; the head of the charging column was enveloped in a sheet of living flame; the hideous shells were bursting all around and in their midst.
