Albany, porty gentleman entered one OF the cars,
and seizing the back of scat, where soldier was

body The eeeted soldier was sitting just behind by
the side Of bis captain. Some words now passed
between the soldiers and the fat man. about bis rude
ness end selhshness The fat man replied nslltngly
The soldier proposed 10 claim the scat from which be
had been removed. The fat man said he couldn't
have it. You are only a charity passenger, any
how" said the fat man, you travel at the public
expense, or on free pass, suppose" The soldiers
blood was np-his eyes sparked, and the lids snapped
He again threatened to take bis former seat "Oh.
don't blaster, said tie fat man, we don't fear such
soldiers you are know YOU good for running,
that's ALL" AT this, the young soldier rose, and said
resolutely, Now, Sir, will have my seat and
rushing into the passage, closed in with the fat man,
who had now rsen and threatened TO strike him with
bis cane. A great scene Of confusion ensued. The
captain assisted his man by selling the cane The fat
man struggled and screamed. The young soldier
smashed him against the eide Of the and damaged
bis linen and his hat bat did not strike him. The gen.
tlenen passengers cried, Put him OUT "Give it to

and children screamed and rushed the end of the car
The fat man was livd with rage. Soldier had him
tight Mr.. Martin, the conductor, now appeared, and
Oh being informed Of the state Of the case, told the
soldier he could keep his seat and the fat that be
might cit down, or 90 where be pleased. The soldier
sat down. and the fat sank into mae beside him.
Screams Of laughter and applause followed; three
hearty cheers were given for the soldiers and three
groans for Secesssionss. The fat man saw that bis
power was at an end and shook his arrogant head in
silence keeping bis place by the eide OF the soldier for
some time, till, ladies coming in, he got up and
offered them his seat, and retired to scat
the door, and soon left the train.
On inquiry, we learned that the name of the fat man
was Aug 3lus james of Rhinebeek, q person Of some
wealth, bnt of proud, disageeable manners. The
soldiers were Capt. j. W. Lyon, Company c, l7th
Regiment n. Y. Volunteers and Sergeant II. II. Hall,
Company +, same Regiment now stationed near Alex
andra, who are both on recruiting service for their
regiment. They both educated quiet, gentlemanly
men, and could scarcely be expected to submt to be
called charity subjects by those for whose property and
lives they riskDg their own, in the service of
the country The only wondeg is that they did not
pummel Mr.. James head TO Jelly, at least give
him black eye to carry home TO HE friends.
