street. when young gentleman offered
his assistance; and SO, leaning upon his
arm, the two great men were conducted to
coach stand, Turning to the young gen.
tleman. Wordsworth said:
"Sir. you have been courteos to stran-
ger. Twill now tell you who am. I am
the poet Wordsworth"
"And |, am Benjamin Robert Hayden,
the historic painter"
The young man, who had hitherto been
so attentive, dropped their arms immedi-
ately, and indignant at what he believed
TO be hoax, exclaimed
"Iou are pair of drunken vagabonds |!

How It Happened that the Secession
ists did not Take Louisville.
[From the louisville Journal.


The fact that General Buc kner did not
take the city of Louisville instead of stop
ping at Green River, as we have before
stated, is due to the loyalty, courage, and
tact of ono obscure individual. The Gin
cinnati Commercial says the secessionists
had laid their plans to appear suddenly on
louisville with a powerful force. They
had provided for transportation four hun
dred cars and fifteen locomotives, and had
eight thousand men, with artillery and
camp equippage on board. They had Sc
cured the services of the telegraph opera
tors, enc Of whom forwarded dispatch
to Louisville explaining the deten-
ton of trains on the road, and were
moving formard at a grand rate. Every
thing was going well with them, and Lou
isville. with perhaps the exception Of few
secsssionists, was unsuspecting and un-
guarded.
But at a station just beyond Green Riv-
er there was young man in the service of
the road, who was a warm friend of the
Union, and who. comprehcndng the mean
ing Of the monster train, when it came I'D,
seized a crowbar used for taking up rails
TO make repairs, and while the locomotives
were being wooded and watered, ran
across curve, and in deep. narrow cut,
wrenched the spikes from four rails. The
train came along at good speed, the rails
spread, the locomotives plunged into the
ground, the cars crashed on top of them,
and it was twonty-four hours before the
train could 60 ahead. In the meantime
Louisville was saved The hero of the
occasion had not had time to get out of
the cut before the crash came, and was
taken, but in the confusion of the excite
ment got away, and is safe. These facts
are related by DR.. R. s. Newton, who was
in Nashville when the secession army ad-
vaneed, was detained there several DAYS
subsequently, heard the circumstances mar
rated there, and was told of them after
wards by Gen. Buckner and other officers
of the Confederate army.
