TIE following incident is related as hav-
ing actually occurred at Fort Donclson
Captain George Norman, of Greensboro,
was on Gen. Johnston's staff, and while
riding along with the latter, MORALLY
wounded Federal soldier called out d" for
Gods sake give me some water" The
Captain diStnonnted, gave the dying sol
dicr some water, and, at his request, pull
ed from his knapsack the likeness of his
wife and children, that he might rest his
eyes upon them once more. The Captain
was compelled to return to duty, and just
as he was mounting his horse was struck
by spent ball, which stunned and rem
dered him insensible, and when conscious.
ness returned he found himself prisoner
in the Federal camp.
Captain Norman is now confined in
this city, at private house, we believe,
quite i'll, and, though still a prisoner, is
the recipient of that kind treatment which
his humanity to suffering foe fully en-.
titles him to. -IadiaaapoIis Journal

The ABOLITION PROGRAMME. The plans
Of the Abolitionized Republicans may be
seen in the following, which we take
from the Congressional proceedings Of
the 9TH of May:
Dir. Stevens, of Penn. said he would recon-
struct the Union, but with freedom throughout
its entire borders.
Mr.. Wickliife-Then you are against the
Union ms IT was?
Mr.. Stevens-Bcfore that can be restored
you must restore the ten Thousand freemen
who have been sent TO death BY the murderous
band. lie (StevenS) could never shake hands
with bloody murderers.
In other words, the Union as 1t 'ras is
to be overthrown, and new Government
established, based upon the platform of
the AbolitionistS and for the benefit of
the liberated negroes of the South! y
united and harmonious Democratic party
will restore the old Union and drive from
the halls of Congress such fanatics as
Stevens.
