and not lone since his horse unseated him.
The commanding officer came up and repri-
manded him. and asked him sternly if he did
not know how to ride? He unhesitatingly
said "No." "What did you enlist for, then?'

OF Brigadier General T. w. Shermsn,
commander of the Union army now in South
Carolina, was New England lad of limited
pecuniary means. When he first visited Wash
ington to obtain admission to West Point, he
walked the whole distance from his fathers
house in Rhode Island to the National Capt.
tol. That long tedious march revealed quail
ties which insured his success with General

An Escnped Prisoners story.

DIR. Stephen Hagadorn, of Bath, New York,
who was captured by the rebels, at Bull Run,
has escaped and returned home. A cores
pendent OF the Rochester Democrat tells his
story:
DR.. Hagadorn Went to Duli Run to look af-
terra sen who was private IN the Second
Wisconsin Volunteers. He was taken about
midway between Bull Run and Centerville'
He saw that he was cut off and must be taken
and raised white handkerchief upon an UNI
brella to prevent being shot. A rebel horse
man came up and demanded where he was
from, and on learning that he was civilian
from New York, exclaimed DIN you, what
business have you to raise flag of truce and
1evelling his pistol said: I've great mind
to shoot you.' Finally DR.. Hagadon was or
dered to mount behind the rebel, and in at
tempting to do SO from the level ground, lost
his. hat, which he was not allowed to pick up.
While trying to mount, the savage struck
backwards with his sword, cutting cash il
DR.. Hagadorn's forehead which bled freely
A footman handed him his hat and DR.. Hag.
,adorn rode in this way for a short distance
when he was set down and marched, part oi
the time on run, to Manassas. where they
arrived at about ten o'clock at night He me

CRIMISAL WAsrE.-The annexed paragraph
is from the Grafton Western Virginian:
About seventy Government horses were
sold at Webster, on Wednesday, at loss of
not less than hfty dollars each from the cost
chiefly all being the result of bad usage in
sixty days; thus costing the Government fifty
dollars per month for each two horse team for
wear and tear Of horse-fesh. And we noticed
that many horses now in use look not much
better Of than those that were sold II IL thus
rendered plain enough that the managers of
the wagon department are shamefuIly inoom-
Petent for their duties. Anybody knows that
there Is no need Of wearing out horse In SIX

gentleman from Augusta, just on his return

East Tennessee is rotten to the core on the

the greatest indignities toward the wounded
soldiers Who were returning home by that
route. Their papers were most rigidly scruti-

some cases poor wounded soldiers came very
near being thrown off the cars because their
papers did not exactly suit the fastidious no.

FROM OUR SoUTHFRN GEOGRAPHY
SOUTH CORoLINA.-A vast empire, bounded
on the north by the Arctic Ocean, east by
Fort Sumter, south by the Tortugas, and
west by the Pacific. The population is il
hmitable. the productions inculcable, its re-
sources inexhaustible. The people are hap
py because the Better Half of themselves
are slaves. It's chivalry awes the world by
valiant deeds its navy defes the battle
and the breeze.
PRoDUCTIoNs.-S Carolina produces
chattels of every shade, to suit the taste of
the purchaser.
DIsEAsEs.-The prevailing disorders are
violent Retches and Sicksession. A DR..
Jackson once invented cure for these COM
plants.
LITERATURE.-The standard literature is
high. The Charleston Mercury, the journal
of the Western world, is renowned for the
purity of its English and the elevation Of its
morals. Its circulation is enormous. 1t
justly holds every man traitor who does
not steal from the United States Govern
ment.
