A THRILLING ROMANCE.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN TICTIoN-A DYING
SOLDIER PRAYs FOR THE PRESIDENT.
The case Of Private Scott killed in the fight near
Lees Mills, on the l6h referred to in CORE
spondence from the army before Yorktown, 10 thus
narrated by the correspondent Of The Philadelphia
Inquirer:
Never until we stood by the grave OF the Green
Mountain boys did we realize how much stranger
j. truth than fiction. Your readers will all recollect
that Lac; Sumner private was court-martaled Tor
sleeping on bis post, out near Chain Bridge on the
Upper Potomac. He was convicted; bis sentence
was death; the finding was approved Of by the Gen.
era aud the day fixed for his execution. lie was
youth of more than ordinary intcil2ence he did not
beg for pardon but was willing to meet lis fate. The
time drew near the stern necessity OF war required
that an example should be made OF s0nle one; his
wat an aggravated case. But tie case reached the
ears Of the President he resolved 10 save him; he
signed a pardon and sent II out; the day came
"Suppose" thought the President, my pardon has
not reached him." The telegraph was called into
requsiiion; an answer did not come promptly.
" Bring up my carriage" lie ordered. IL came. and
soon tie important State papers were dropped, ana,
through the hot, broiliDg and dusiy roads, he
rode TO the camp, about ten miles, aud taw that the
soldier was saycd He has Doubt IS forgotten the
incident, but the soldier dli not When the ~ Ner-
mont charged upon the rifle pits, the enemy poured q
volley upon them. The first man VINO fell, with .iX
bullets IN his body, was WIN. scott oil ,ompany N.
His cour.des caught him up, and, as bis lie-biool
ebbed away, he raised 10 heaven, amid the din OF
war; thu cries of the diving, and the shouts Of 'he
enemy prayer for the PRECEDENT; and IA he died,
| 10 remarked 10 his comradc that lie had shown he
was no oward and not afr il 10 die.
He was inferred, in the presence Of his regiment
in a little grove about two miles 10 The rear of the
Rebel fort, IN the center OF group of holly aud
vines; few cherry.rees in full bloom, scattered
around the edge. In digging his grave, skull aud
bones found, and metsl buttons, showing thai
war for our a'hers who fell in the same canse. The
Chaplain narrated the circumstances to the boyr,
who stood around with uncovered heads. lie prayed
for the President and paid q G most glowing tribute
To ms noble heart that we ever heard. The tears
started in their eyer ~ the clods Of earth Were
thrown upon him in his narrow grave, where be lay
shrouied in his coat aud blanket.
TIE men separated; in a few minutes all were ell
gaged in something around the camp, as though
nothing unusual had happened; but that scene viii
hive upon their memories while lie lasts; the calm
look of Scots face, the seeming look of satisfaction
lie felt still fingered; and could the President have
teen hlm, he would have felt that his act OF mercy
had been wisely bestowed.

to check such occurrences by holding bis division
commanders Immediately responsible for sucn
affairs until they search out and bring TO due punish
