INCIDENTS OF THE DoNELsoN FIGHT.

Peter Morton, 18th Illinois, had the
case of his watch, which he wore in his
upper vest pocket, Immediately over his
heart, torn away by canister shot, and
the watch still continued to keep time.
The life of Reuben Davis, of the Ken
lucky 5th, was saved by silver half.
dollar in his waistcoat pocket. A rifle
ball struck the coin in the centre, and de-
stroyed the figure of Liberty on its face.
Within the fort small secession flag
was planted, and twice the pole support
ing it was shot away. Some one picked
it up, and said, THAT is bad omen if
it is brought down again we will be de-
feated. Hardly had he spoken before a
she'll burst above his head, and frag-
ment shivered the staff, and crashed
through the speakers skull.
Several of the rebels showed during the
gagement recElessnes of life that proved
their desperation. One of them mounted
the breastworks in full view of our forces,
and defed the id Yankees but hardly
had his defiance passed his lips before
he fell pierced by score of bullets.
Another remained outside of the rife
pits, after all his companions had retreat
ed behind them, and fought with his
sword against half dozen of the Union
lists, who had surrounded him and were
anxious to take him prisoner. They
asked him several times to surrender, but
he declared he would rather die, and die
he did on the point of Union bayonet
but not before he had slain one and
wounded three of his adversaries.
A third Secessionist, private in Mis-
sissippi company, left his companions in
arms, and, with a horrid imprecation,
rushed into the midst of one of our regi-
ments, his hand grasping his musket bar
rel, and aimed a blow at an Indiana cap
tain, but was shot dead with revolver
by his opponent.
Three members Of the 9th Illinois rush
ed over the rifle-pits after the enemy had
retreated, and perished fighting against a
thousand foes.
On Saturday, young man, James
Hartley, who had lost brother the pre-
vious day, swore to be revenged, and in
one of the sorties by the rebels, attacked

KITTY GREG0RY'S FATE;
OR,
FASHIONABLE MURDER.
By AMY RANDOLPH.

The chill winds of early December had
shaken off the last gold leaves that hung
trembling to the forest boughs the shining
chestnuts had long ago ratified down from
their russet husks, and been garnered away
by the bright. eyed little squirrels that rust
led through the faded moses and withered
foliage of the gray old oaks, like quick
shadows: and now, at the close of dreary
day of cloud and wind, the rain was falling
with melancholy sound on the sloping
caves of Deacon Gregory's house, at the
bend of the road.
There was no candle in the huge old
kitchen, nor was there need of one, for the
glorious blaze of the giant logs piled on the
glimmering brass sire dogs illumined every
crack and corner of the room with fitful
radiance. Mrs. Gregory's kitchen was as
pleasant an apartment as half the parlors in
Fifth Avenue palaces, with its snowy floor
and cushioned rocking chairs, and white
fringed curtains; and as for conseryatorles,
Mrs. Gregory wouldn't have given fig for
'em as long as her monster oleander ex
panded its pink blossoms in tropical splendor
beneath the warm, low ceiling of that same
cozy, snug old kitchen, and the monthly
roses in the window kept up semblance OF
boomy June even on this bleak, rainy De
cember evening.
"Nine o'clock" said the deacon, taking off
his spectacles to wipe away an unwonted
dew that had settled On their silver circled
ovals; "nine o'clock-how the time does slip
away, to be sure! And to think that this
is the last evening our Kitty will be with us
for three months. Mind, Kitty you don't
forget your old father among those gay city
folk!"
Kitty Gregory jumped up from her low
seat in he chimney corner, and ran across
the glowing hearth to give the old deacon a
shower of kisses which seriously endangered
his blue checked neck handkerchief, and
forced him to sue, between laughing and
crying, for mercy.

WHO rs GENERAL BURNSIDE

Brigadier- General Ambrose Everett
Burnside, who has been selected to com
mand the mostimportantex expedition against
the Southern Rebels, was born in Liberty,
Union county, Indiana, May 23rd, 1924,
and therefore is not yet quite tnirty-eight
years old AT the age of eighteen years
be entered the West Point Academy, and
graduated in 1917, the fifteenth in a class
of forty seven members. He was breveted
Second Lieutenant, and the following year
was transferred to the Third Artillery,
and proceeded to Mexico, where he marched
in Patterson's S column to the city of Mex
leo, where he remained till peace was de-
clared in the United States. On his re-
turn to the North he was stationed at
Fort Adams. In l849 he was attached
as Lieutenant to Captain (now rebel Gen.
eral) Bragg's battery, and was engaged for
several years in the frontier service in New
Mexico. In August of that year, in an
engagement with the Apacha Indians,
near Los Vegas, Lieutenant Burnside
commanded a company of twenty
men, who killed eighteen Indians, took
nine prisoners and captured forty horses.
For the bravery and efficiency displayed
on that occasion, he was recommended
to President Fillmore for promotion. He
next served as Quartermaster to the com
mission which surveyed the boundary
line between the United States and Mex
ico. In 1851 he travelled through the
Indian territory twelve hundred miles in
seventeen days, with an escort Of only
three men. He was then again stationed
at Fort Adams, New Port harbor, but
shortly after resigned his commission, for
the purpose of engaging in the manufac-
ture of breach-loading rifle of his own
invention. The enterprise proving un-
profitable, he went to Chicago, and en-
tered til saice of the Illinois Central
Railroa- company, as cashier, while
George R. (now General) McClellan, was
officiating in the capacity of general su,
perintendent, and subsequently Vice Pres
ident Our hero, after holding the posi-
ton of cashier for about two years, was
elected treasurer. Shortly after the war
commenced, he received telegraph dis
patch from Governor Sprague of Rhode
Island, rendering him the command of the
First Rhode Island Regiment of 1000
men, which had been raised. In the
the dispatch he was on his way to Provi-
dence The regiment which he COM
manded was one of the most prominent
in the engagement at Stone Bridge, and
the conduct of General Burnside, acting
as Brigadier General, on the occasion,
commended him to the attention of the
authorities, and on the 9Th of August he
was appointed Brigadier General. Since
that time he has been actively engaged in
getting together the men and materials
composing the expedition which has just
left on it's mission under his command.

in his Sunday school lessons, the teacher

DoDe1Na THE M1LrTA1A FINE.

In days gone by, when the objectiona-

in country town few miles from, Bos-
ton, and notice to appear EARNED and
equipped, according to law,'' was left at
he boarding house of a wag, who pos
sessed very little martial music y in his
soul, determined that he would neither
train nor pay fine, and entertaining with
al a very Indifferent opinion of the utility
of the system, he took mo- notice of the
summons.
Having been duly warned" however,
as he expected, at the expiration of few
weeks, the sergeant waited upon him, with
a bill Of nine shillings for non attendance
at the muster.
you're fined, sir,--nine shillings-
non-appearance."
"What is 2" said the wag, pretend

"Fined for not training" drawled the
other.

But the wag couldn't hear word that
he said, and in the course on another
month he received peremptory sum-
mons to appear forthwith at court mar
tial in the district, instituted for the pur-
pose of trying delinquents, and collecting
such fines as could be scared out of the
non-performers of duty. At the appointed
time he waited on the said court, which
was heldsin an old country house, where
he found three or four persons seated, at
tired in fashy regimentals, and whose
awful "yaller epauletts were enough to
command the attention and profound res
pect of the beholder. Though somewhat
disconnected at this exhibition of spurs
and buttons, he put bold face on the
matter, and responded to the directions of
the junior member of the august court, he
advanced to the table, and the chief func-
tionary commenced the examination.
| Your name, sir -
The offender placed his hand quickly
on his ear. without uttering word, or
moving muscle in his face.
"What is your name ?" repeated the
qnestioner, in a louder tone.
A little louder" said the wag without
replying.
"Name :" shouted the Judge.

THE sADDLER's CLERK.


MONKEYS are scarce in Michigan. A
saddler in Detroit kept one for a pet who
usually sat on the counter. A countrymau
came in one dav, the proprietor being in the
back room. The customer seeing saddle
that suited him, asked the price.
Monkey said nothing.
Customer said,
"I'Il give you twenty dollars for it,
which monkey showed into the draw as
soon as the man laid it down.
The man then took the saddle, but mon.
kew mounted the man, tore his hair, scratch
ed his face, and the frightened customer
screamed for dear life.
Proprietor rushes in and wants know
what's the fuss.
"Fuss!" said the customer, 'fusss 2" l
bought saddle of your son sittin' there,
and when l went to take it he won't let me

The saddler appologized to the man for
the monkey, but assured him that he was
no relation.
