EH-NEGRo TEAMsrERs.-A lot ofgentry
of the "culled persuasion" some twenty
one in number from Columbus, Ohio were
in this city yesterday en- route to join Pope's
army to serve in the capacity of teamsters.
They stopped in town several hours and
lay around loose in::shady places and loung-
ed on payements aud doorsteps with true
African devil-may-ca Incidence.
We should be disposed to imagine that
under the late orders from the War De
partment enough darkies to drive all the
teams in Gen, Pope's army could very soon
be procured down there without cost Of
transportation-well acquainted with the
roads and localities, aud in all respects 1T

Jog steer sprang on the track justin front
of the engine, and darted off up the road
with tail erect aud eyes distended with
terror. The usual appliance ofthe whistle
was tried on him to induce him to leave the
track, but it only added to his fright, and
he stuck to the track as if he had been
running on a glued streak. The locomo-

straight on as If the only possible avenue
of escape was right ahead, until he had got
nearly to Cranberry Station. when exhaus-

dash he landed fiat on his back by the side
of the track just ont of reach, aud as the
train went by he was lying there kicking
frautically, as ifin the last agonies ofdeath,
from extreme terror, for the engine never
touched him. Whether he actually started
for that undiscovered country, beauti-
fully alluded to by Shakespeare, or wheth-

usual, is a matter unknown to the deponent
from whom we derived our information.

na-THE USFoRGorTEN BaAvE.-One Of

n8THE UxPoRGoTTRN BRAvE.-One of
the most gallant of the gallant men who
have laid down their lives for Liberty and
Union during the present rebellion, was
Dan spangler, of Company D, Sd Virginia
Regiment, who was mortally wounded by
a cannon ball in the hottest of the fight at
Cross Keys. he was carried to the rear by
his comrades, and feeling his end rapidly
approaching, he took his miniature from
his bosom, and handing it to the nearest
cOmrade, babe him sendit to his neither
with his last messages of love. Drawing
forth his purse he babe his friend conveyit
to his father, and tell the old man that his
son was killed while fighting on the field
of battle, and that he died for a good cause,
and had nothing to regret in his last mo-
meuts. Those were the last words he ever
spoke.
Dan spangler was from Lewis county,
and it was he and Albert Jewell who pull.
ed down the first and last secession flag
that ever foated in Weston. It was at a
time when the Union men were timid in
Weston as they were in many other quar-
tiers. The leading rebels had planted the
ensign of treason on the cupola of the Court
House; and it fluttered there in defiance of
the Union men, who hesitated to assault
it. Dan spangler and Jewell went upon
the roof in full view of mixed crowd in
the street, and in spite of the protestations
of his friends and the threats of his eue-5
mics, deliberately tore the flag from its fas-
tenipg. No other man seemed to have the
nerve to do it. Such is the stuff ofwhich
heroes are made.
spangler was frank and genial as he was
brave, aud was universally liked. Honorto
BIS memory and peace to his ashes.
