Col. Greer, of one of the Texas Regiments engaged in the battle of Oak Hills, relates the following incidents:
The battle raged hottest around the house of an old gentleman named Sharp, near the center of the battle field. After the roar of the cannon and the rattle of small arms had ceased for a short time, an old lady came out of the house with a bundle of clothes on her arm, passing over and around the Dutch that lay in the yard, and near the fence, to hang out the clothes. Placing her spectacles high upon her nose, her right arm akimbo, she exclaimed, in a singular and doleful tone, “Well dese folks have kicked up a monstrous fuss here to-day.”
