Swearing in a Contraband.

Recently Missouri master appeared at
Camp Benton, ST. Louis, tos recover flu
gitive from labor without pay. He was
soon told by Corporal of an Iowa regi-
ment to vamose, and no sooner was he
gone than Sambo appeared from under a
bundle of sacks in one corner of the Cor
poral's quarters, He was lively looking
young negro, whose countenance indicated
uncertainty of mind as to what was to he
his fate. A letter says:
Innumerable questions were being pro-
pounded to him, when Corporal advanc-
ed, observing, "see here. Dixie before you
can enter the service of the United States
you must be sworn "Yes massa 1 do
dat," be replied, when the Corporal con-
tinued, "Well then, take hold of the BIZ
ble'-holding ont letter envelope upon
which was delineated the goddess of liber-
ty standing upon Suffolk pig, wearing
the emblem of our country. The negro
grasped the envelope cautiously with his
thumb and fore finger, when Corporal pro-
ceeded TO administer the oath by saying,
"You do solemnly swear that you will
support the Constitution Of the United
States, and see that there are no grounds
floating upon the coffee, at all times" -
.'Yes massa, do dat,"' he replied. 81 al
lers settles him in de coffee pot" Here
he let go of the envelope to gestisculaie
by downward thrust of his fore6nger,
the direction that would be given TO the
coffee grounds for the future. "Never
mind how you do it," shouted the Corpo-
raj, ''but hold on to the Bible" "Lordy,
massa forgot" said the negro, as he
darted forward and grasped the envelope
with firmer clutch, when Corparal con-
tinued-"and you do solemnly swear
that you will support the constitution of
all the loyal States, and not spit on the
plates when cleaning them, or wipe them
on your shirt sleeve" Here frown low
cred upon the brow of the negro, his eyes
expanded to their largest dimensions, while
his lips protruded with rounded form as
he exclaimed: "LordY massa, neber do
dat 1 alters washes him nice. Ole missy
mighty ticker bout dat" "Never mind
old missus," shouted Corporal, as he re-
sumed-"and you do solemnly swear that
you will put milk in the coffee every morn
ing, and see that the ham and eggs are
not cooksd too much or too little" ayes,
1 do dat; Use good cook, ,"-"and lastly,"
continued Corporal, "you do solemnly
swear that when this war is over you will
make tracks for Africa almighty fast
ayes massa, do dat. l alters wanted TO
go 10 Chee-cargo." Here the regimental
drums beat up for dress parade, when Tom
Benton (that being his mame) was de.
clared duly sworn in, and commissioned
as chief cook iu Company K, of the first
Iowa Cavalry.

Incidents of the Battle.

From letters from Col. GarfeId's 18th
Brigade, the Ravenna Democrat select
number af incidents of the battle with
Humphry Marshall's rebels. The Portage
County boys were in the midst of the
"peppering" and got and gave full share
One poor fellow, a Mantuua boy, whose
thigh was broken by Minnie ball, his
limb has since been amputated.) killed
two rebels after he was struck.
Sergeant Irish of Capt. Bushnell's Co.,
was bringing his cartridge to his mouth
when a ball cut away the powder and left
the lead in his fingers. Turning his body
between the gun and the enemy, as he put
in the next cartridge, he said, "There'see
if you'll get that" Another man took
out a cracker, which ball shivered in his
fingers; he ate the remnant, and fired
aWdy.
From letter written Immediately after
the battle by s. r. Freeman Jr., the fol-
lowing items are extracted:
As the men were retiring from the
field at nightfall, member of Co., F, who
stood near Capt. Williams, after going
little way said he could go no further
that spent ball had hit him on the belt
and knocked his breath out of him and
made him faint. Capt. Williams told him
to let him have his gun and go back. He
insisted on going on, but soon gave out,
and came near fainting. When his belt
was taken off the blood spirited out. Upon
examining the belt it was found that
bullet had passed through it, and the hole
closed up again, making it look like
dent.
Another man from Co., F thought his
pants chafed him, but when he came to
sit down, found musket ball under bis
skin. He said he didn't know it-he
/ thought some one had thrown q stone at
him.
David Hall, of Freedom was wounded,
the ball going in at the arm and passed
through the muscle of the shoulder blade.
Sherman Leech, from Hiram, was wounded
. ball going in at the knee, and lodged in
the calf of his leg.
Leech, after he. was wounded, saw a
fellow reach out and shoot from between
a couple of rocks. Next time secesh peep
ed out, Leech drew bead on him, and
both fired at the same time. As Leeeh
was carried down the hill, he quietly re-
marked "Sh-sh-sh-shot the internal cuss
that hit me-" Next morning Secesh was
found with the whole top Of his blown head
by Leech's rifle ball.
The only man killed on our side was
Kentuckian, who had shot from tree five
of the enemy at six shots. As he was
climbing over rock he received a ball in
the forehead, which blew cut his brains.
So hot was the fire, that men had their
clothes cut through and through by the
balls One man had three ball holes through
his cap, others through their coats, pants
and straps.
Gel. Garfield had his canteen straps
cut by musket ball.
One fellow sat on log, his back to
, tree, where he loaded aud fred. Just
as he was raising up to ire---for the last
!, time, it prosed-a bail took him in the
, left eysiand blew his whole forehead off;
J he settled back in his seat keeping an up
right position, and there We found him.

mistake" was the answer. "Whatever and
whoever else you neglect, do not fail to
understand public opini,n' aud the wants
of the people, and you cannot obtain this
knowledge except through the newspa-
pers." This incident calls TO mind the
practice of Secretary Marcy while he was
in Washington. He steadily employed
an intelligent clerk, Geo. W. Newall, to
look over all prominent journals. friendly
and unfriendly, extracting the particular
passages which should be noticed. One
hour Of each day, MIR. Marcy devoted to
bis newspaper clerk, who read to him stri;
king passages, and in an article prepared
by him, gave brief history of the jour
nalism of the day. In this way the Sec
retary kept himself constantly informed of
the position of his political friends and
enemies.

MistelIarteons.
A SIGNIFICANT DOCUMENT.
A VOICE FROM THE "TOOMBS."
The ssCob,, House Falling


Hsrk from the Toombs, doleful sound,
"Seeesh" attend the cry,
Ye cursed traitors view the ground,
Where you must shortly lie.
Richmond papers of late date give an
Address to the people of Georgia, issued
bv Howell Cobb, Robert Toombs, M. J.
Crawford and Thos. R. R. Cobb, who are
members of Congress from that State un-
der the Provisional Government Of the
Confederacy. These provisional traitors"
say. In few days the Provisional Gov
ernment of the Confederate States will
live only in history, aud with it we shall
deliver up the trust we have endeayored to
use for your benefit, to those more directly
selected by yourselves" This Address is
one of the most shameless Of all the ut
terances of treason; yet it is very signlfi
cant as a virtual admission that the Con-
federacy cannot cope with the Federal
Government. The circulation Of the doc
ument must have most damaging effect
upon the cause of secession in Georgia, as
by the admissions Of these leaders, and
their advice to the people, the end must
be desolalion and ruin-a self-sacrltice the
people of the South did not bargain for
when they raised the flag of the rebellion.
The Address claims that the madness
and fanaticism of their enemies have made
the South unit, except in a few border
States, and there "a waning opposition is
giving way before the stern logic of daily
developing facts" Then follows that ad-
mission which shows that even these lead.
ers miscalculated the Federal strength, fol
the Address says:
"Our enemy has exhibited an energy, a
perseverance and an amount of resources
which we had hs,dly expected, and dis
regard of constitution and laws which We
can hardly credit"
Il is irresistibly ludicrous that these
traitors should complain of our disregard
of constitution and laws they have REBEL
ed against. A consolation, however. TO
the disappointment admitted, is found in I
hope that our energy is just as dangerous
to ourselves as to them, for they say:
"The result of both, however, is tha
power, which is the characteristic elemen
of despotism, and renders it so formidable
to lis enemies is as destructive to its sub
jects."
The Address then states what the Soutl
must expect as the result of Northern en-
ergy and perseverance. It says:
IAN immense army has been organizes
for our destruction, which is being disc
plined to the unthinking stolidity of regr
lars. With the exclusive possession G
the seas, our enemy is enabled to thro'
upon the shores of every State the nucleu
Of an army. And the threat is mad,
and doubtless the attempt will follow
early spring to crush us with n giant
, grasp by simultaneous movement alon
our entire borders"
And now comes the sign of woe tn,
all is lost, for the Address frankly admit

hereafter, under pleasant circumstances" :"
Thank you sir. So do l. Good day."
was the reply.
Our party mounted and started home
ward. We were scarcely under way before
the rebels turned their backs upon US, and
disappeared in the winding of the road
The sun was shining brightly, cheerfully
and beautifully. As the two cavalcades,
so lately laughing together, separared, to
meet again in the din of battle, thought
of the old days of chivalry, when such
scenes were frequent.

Telegraphic Achievement.

On last Saturday evening, as result
of some experiments BY the operators, Salt
Lake City, Utah, Boston, Mass, worked
directly, steadily and without interruption
together for nearly an hour. The route
chosen was via Omaha City, chicago,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and
New York. Further experiments will be
made this week. in which HALIFAX, N. ..
will be- nut in communication with Salt
Lake City and San Francisco. With the
anliance now available there seems to be
no reason why Mr.. Wade's plan for placing
San Francisco and New York in direct
and permanent connection with each 9th
may not be very soon perfected andput in
force.
