would fre. l came down quickly and gladly
enough, for recognized the voice of friend.
Once IN my short life had charced to be of
some little service to Will Ritson, the poacher
i had written a letter for him to his wife
(since he was no "scholard'' to tell her of his
having got into trouble with the magistrates
Of our town with respect to night trespass-and
1t was Will Ritson who now stood beneath me.
At that moment would rather have met with
disrespectable Will than with the archbishop
Of Canterbury, unless his grace had happened
to have had a revolver about him.
Thee need'st fear nothing now, lad" said
he to me, when made aware of my peculiar
circumstances. II have got barrel apiece for

And went out with him through the Spinney

reached the long -wished-for turnpike, and got

HOW 1T HAPPENED THAT THE SEcEs sIoNIsTs
DID NOT TAKE LoUIsvILLE.-The fact that
Gen. Buckner did not take the city of Louis
vile instead of stopping at Green River, as
we have before stated, is due to the loyalty,
courage, and tact Of one obscure individual
The Cincinnati Commercial says the secession
lists had laid their plans to appear suddenly in
Louisville with a powerful force They had
provided for transportation four hundred cars
and fifteen locomotives, and had eight thou
sand men, with artillery and camp euuipAge,
on beard. They had secured the services of
the telegraph operators, one of whom forward
ed TO Louisville dispatch explaining the de-
tentioR OF trains on the road, and were moving
forward at grand rate Everything was 90.
ing well with them, and Louisville, with per-
haps the exception of a few secessionists, was
unsuspecting and unguarded. But at a station
beyond Green River, there was q young nan
in the service of the road, who was a warm
friend Of the Union, and who, comprehending
the meaning Of the monster train, when Il
came up, seized crow-bar used for taking up
rails to make repairs, and while the locomo-
tives were being wooded and watered, ran
across curve, and in a deep, narrow cut,
wrenched the spikes from four rails The train
came along at good speed, the rails spread
the locomotive plunged into the ground, the
ears crashed on top of it, and it was twenty
four hours before the train could 90 ahead
In the meantime Louisville was saved. The
hero Of the ocsasion had not had time to get
out Of the cut before the crash came, and was
taken, but in the confusion and excitement
got away. and is safe. These facts are related
by DR.. K. s. Newton, who was in Nashville
when the secession army advanced, was de-
tanned there several days subsequently, heard
the circumstances narrated there, and was
told OF them Afterwards by General Buckner
and other officers of the Confederate army
