Praise from the Enemy.

The gallant manner ia which our forces fought
in the battle at Kearnstowr has extOrted praise
even from the General in command of the forces
of the enemy. Gen. Shields in letter publish
ed in the Baltimore San says:
The enemy's sufferings have been terrible
and such as they have nowhere else endured
since the commencement of this war; and yet
such were their gallantry and high state of dis
cipliue, that st time during tie battle or pur.
suit cid they give way to panic
Referring to the wound he received, General
Shields says:
''In little skirnish on Satu day evening
was struck by a fragment of shell. which broke
my arm above the elbow, injured my shoulder
and damaged me otherwise to such an ext, nj
that have lain PROSTATE ever snce."

Surrender of Fort Pulaski.

On last Friday evening, the unconditional sur
render of Fort Pulaski, near Savannah, Geo, gia.
took place. The garrison, we suppose, number.
ed between 800 and 400 men. Our experience
during this war has shown that defending forts
is not the forte of the South. The telegram an
nouncing the surrender Gays:
Seven large breeches were made in the South
wall of the fort by the battery Of eight Parrot
guns at Kings Landing.
All of the barbeue guns were dismonnted, and
three of the casemate guns, leaving but one gun
bearing on that point. Taree balls had entered
the mag zine, and clear breach had been made
in II The balls were conicel and steel pointed,
and propelled with such force as to pass entirely
through the wall at nearly eve'y fire, No lives
were lost during the bombardment. -Four men
were wounded. Three have lost leg each and
one an ar,n-all privstes- laspes given.

--our cause is good we fight for our homes and

ported in large force Of all arms. This army il

FALL OF Fort CRAIG.-A letter has been re-
which it is stated that authentic intelligence OF
the surrender of Fort Craig had been received
there. The capituation was unconditional. -
Colonel Candy, the Federal commander, Oropos-
ed that himself and command be permitted to
depart on condition that they pledge themselves
not to serve again during the war; but General
Sibley insisted uE on an unconditional surrender.
With he fall of Fort Craig the st vestige of
Federal rule vanishes from New Mexico. We
are now masters of that vast and wealthy region
have taken all the enemy's strOngholds, captur-
ed some four thousand of his men, besides an
immense amount of provisions for man and horse,
aud large stores of ammunition and arms. The
quantities of provisions and ammunition mn st
be large, as Fort Craig was said to be ia condi-
tion for six months seige. All honor to the

Another Exploit of Capt. John M organ.
correspondent of the Memphis Appeal fur


A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal fur
nishes the following
The heroic young Kentuckian is as full Of STRAIT
egem as he is of daring. He disguised himself
as countryman a.d took d wagon load of meal
to Nashville the other day. Driving straight o
the st. Cloud Hotel, he left his wagon at the
door in charge OF a trusty follower, and went
into the dining room of the hotel about dinner,
where he sat down opposite to Gen. McCook.
"General Cook, SUPPOSE" said the disguised
partisan, bowling across the table.
ssYou are right, sir" said McCook, ssthat is
my name." 9
ssWell, gineral, if there's no seceshers about
I've got something to tell you right here.''
Looking around, the general requested his new
acquaintance to proceed with what he had to
say.
ssWell, gineral, live up here close by Burke's
mills, right in the midst tf nest of red hot Sc
a peck of It. But, gineral, Pm all right on
the goose, though l don't have much to say
about it at home, and SO got wagon load OF
meal ground, and I've brung it down here today
and it's now out thar in the street, and you can
have it If you want it,
Gen. McCook was highly delighted-expressed
his gratitude to the plain-ooking countryman
for his kindness, praised his loyalty to the old
dag, etc., etc., and at once ordered the meal to
be taken to the commissary for his brigade, and
paid for in gold and silver. This transaction ac-
complished, the counterfeit WAGNER again re-
paired to Gen. McCook's headquarters, where,
after requesting strictly private interview, he
told the .sgineraP' that if would send out one
hundred men, to such place, in such neigh
borhood in Davidson's county, he would guide
them right into that snest of seceshers and trait
ors," where they might ssbag'' large quantity
OF meal and other sscontraband of war; beside.
| number of the worst rebels that ever assisted
| in ssbustin up'' this ssglorious Union.'' Genera
McCook fell into the snare ssas easy as falling of
log,' and all the preliminary arrangements
were made, and time and place agreed upon fo
| the one hundred and fifty Federal soldiers t.
meet their trusty guide.
McCoOk's detachment of $50 men kept the ap
pointment faithfully, and of course Capt. Nor
gan, no longer disguised, was there to meet them
but unfortunately for them he was not alone-hs
had sufficient number of well-armed horse mel
to capture the whole Yankee force without fir
ing gun. So he took them quietly, and sen
them swiftly s'to the rear,'' to be exchanged sir
due course''-all but one, an officer, whom ht
released on parole, and bade him return to Gen
McCook with the compliments of his meai-sell
ing acquaintance, who had the pleasure of meet
ing him at the St. Cloud few days before.
Hurrah for the gallant and heroic Morgan-tht
dauntless aud sagacious partisan whose fame il
rapidly rounding into proportions which promise
to overshadow all the ssMarions'' of the war;

A Singular Prophecy.

The following circumstance recently occurred
at Pensacola, and it's truth is vouched for by a
reliable officer of the army
A soldier in the Confederate service fell into a
long and profound sleep, from which his COM
rades vainly essayed to arouse him. At last he
woke up himself. He then stated that he should
die the next afternoon a. O'Clock, for it was so
revealed to him in his dream. He said in the
last week of the month of April would be fought
the greatest and bloodiest battle of modern times,
and that early in May peace would break upon
the lard more suddenly and unexpectedly than
the war had done in the beginning. The first
part of the prophetic dream has been realized,
for the soldier died next day at P. M. Will
the rest be il April and May Let believers in
dreams wait and see.-[Mobile Advertiser.
