the credit of having killed the fankcc Col
onel,s Cameron, Of the New York list Rcgi-

correspondence of the Baltimore Erchanyc:
The Lieutenant Colonel Of Gen. llampton's
Legion Is. c. was killed, by a shot in the
head from the battery covering the lst New
York Regiment. Tears Immediately came in
the eyes of Gen. Hampton, who was near
ncichhor and friend. He vowed revenge, and

Maynard rie-in the use of which lie is said
to be extremely eiiicient-hc stationed him
self on an cmincnce in advance Of his legion,
and fired, and in return was fired at repeated
ly; six balls passed through his clothing, yet
he was uninjurcd.
One of the first victims of Eampton's dead.
ly aim was Col. Cameron, Of the lst New
York Regiment; another, who fell from his
fire, was Lieut. Col. Farnham, of the Fire
Zouavcs One who stood by the side of the
South Carolina General states that he never
saw man so lrcnzied, yet SO coolly impru,
dent and terribly ncrvcd. My informant says
that every time the deadly rifle crack wa;
heard o Federal officer or soldier was seer

Dimculty About his Article.

| SINGULAR Custom In PRrIs-A Journalistic
DimcuIty About hIs Article.
The Poris correspondent of the New Or
leans Della writes:
In most cases, writer's and contributors are
paid by the printed line, and, consequently.
receive nothing until their articles have been
published. Therefore, if an actuality hap
pens to be crowded out on the day it ought
TO appear, the author loses the fruits of his
toll, if not gifted with peculiar tact and
patience-the essential qualifications of a
Partisan journalist. A striking instance of
the readiness with which disappointments of
the nature ! have mentioned are some times
overcome, by French RtterdteurS, has recently
happened in the Office of one of our most in
fuential dailies.
A young writer prepared, in February last
an article appropriate for publication on Ash
Wednesday, which, in Catholic countries, is a
solemn occasion. The article was accepted
and the author waited for the daWning OF
WashingtOn's birthday, Though, being a
Frenehman, he probably knew nothing of
the coincldencel to see his essay in print and
call for his poy. To his great disappoint
ment, no vestige Of the article appeared /;
and, upon presenting himself at the Office, he
was informed that his contribution had been
crowded out by press Of important news.
There it was, however, in type, and ready
for insertiOn-next year ..
"Giye me back the manuscript" said the
young man, [" and will try to arrange it for
another day"
Six weeks subsequently, the same article,
with a few erasures and alterations, was
once more handed in and accepted for pub
lication on Good Friday. On Good Friday,
i met the fate reserved for it on Ash
Wednesday.
Sorry, my dear sir, said the principal
editor; "but you see how we are pushed for
room. Better luck next time" etc. etc..
The patient Journalist again took back his
changes, fitting il for perusal on All Souls
Day-another solemn holiday of the Church.
This time, the poor fellows perseverance
was crowned with success. There was nc
"press of important news the article ap.
pesred, and the author joyfully received his
three sous q line
