A CORPORAL,s STORY.

Yesterday there came into our lines a cor
poral of artillery, from Dabney's Richmond
battery of heavy guns. He is from New
Hampshire, and a sensible and intelligent
fellow. When the gunboats attacked Fort
Darling Dabney's battery was there. Since
/; has been brought to the rebel front on the
Chickah ominy, opposite our right, put in po-
sition in an earthwork, en- barbette, and sup
ported by Anderson's brigade. On Thursday
last they opened, firing only a few shots. On
Friday orders came to fire vigorously with tho
two heaviest guns. By some means the Of
icers and men got hold of some whisky
The whisky and the prospect of peppering
the Yankees proved very exhilarating to their
spirits. They all got drunk, save the corpor-
al He commanded one of the guns-a 80
pound Parrot, the identical piece, he says,
and we believe, taken from us at Bull Run.
We believe it, for we have seen the shells
thrown by it, and none of our officers know
or have heard of any other piece like it in the
hands Of the rebels. Well, the corporal and
his men loaded and fired. BY strange over
sight, the shells were fred without being
capped. The corporal sighted the piece, but
the shells would fly wide Of the target Zone of
our batteries on side hill, and they would
not explode. | must remark en- PEASANT, that
this random firing of the corporals was all
well enough for the battery which was the
object Of the onemy's wrath, but it was not
quite so comfortable for the camps over the
hill beyond, which were reached by reason
OF the great elevation of the gun, and though
M particular damage was done, it was deem
ed wise precaution to change positions slight
ly. When dozen or more shells had been
fired without a single explosion, the after =
ton OF even the drunken captain was drawn
To the fact. With an oath of wonderment
Why the shells did not explode, he proceeded
to select and cap shell himself, and when
loaded, ranged the gun for the battery. The
corporal shook in his boots. The next mo-
ment he thought he would reveal his trick
But as the captain arose from the gun, the
corporal knoes down in his place, with the
remark "Now, captain, let me see what a
range you have got" Unobseryedly his hand
turns the screw beneath the brecch, the range
OF the gun is depressed, and as he rises the
lanyard Is pulled, chang" goes the gun. and
"chuck goes the she'll into the mud of the
opposite bank, far short Of the mark. '"Your
range is noarly as good as mine" quoth the
corporal to the captain, who is lost in aston.
ishment at the deviltry in the gun, and OBJ
lvious from the whisky in him. Before
another shot was fred an order came to cease
hring That nigh. the corporal deserted.-

Mr. BRowN Permit us to occupy a

a little remark, and which, it is due both to
the injured party and to a proper sense of
justice, should be set right

Hammond, Of East Montpelier, was chosen
and commissioned Capt. of Company X, Sd
Regiment Vermont Volunteers He went to
the war and served faithfully in that capacity
one month and one day, when he was taken
sick and obliged to give up his command.
He obtained leave Of absence for fifteen
days, but under the then existing general
orders, he was obliged to tender his rcsigna-
ton for that purpose, which he did and pro-
cured the same to be accepted conditionaliy
so that if his health would permit he could
return. lie came home, and at the end of ff-
teen days, his medical advisers would not
consent to his return, 80 that tho acceptance
Of his resignation became absolute lie
gave up his uniform and side arms, according
to a letter on file in our office, from Quarter
master General Davis, and according to the
books Of the company his accounts with the
government we're all settled. But he had not
received cent for his services He left that
matter with friend in camp, Reddeld Proc
tor, who, falling to procure the same, he left
the demand with us for collection. As We
needed an agent in camp for that purpose, we
constituted Capt. p. p. Pitkiu, then Quarter
master of the Second, such, and in letter to
us under date of March /, 1862, written from
Camp Griffin he says:
