LYLE of the % Indiana regiment. writing
from iIatteras, gives the following account Of
taking prize:
a sail was seen approaching the Inlet
showing no eolors. Capt. Gcr'ion, smelling
a rat, ran up the Secesh co!ors in the fort,
and the schooner Immediately did the same.
She same boldly up to the bar, the tugboat
Ceres ran out 10 tow her in. The Captain of
the tug Immediately boarded her, shook hands
with the Secesles and said, Il thought when
saw You coming down that had a prize"
mo, indeed" said he. pointing to the doomed
rag, "undcr that flag will die" "Well,"
said our brave hero, "you have had good
luck in getting ill.," "Yes," said the Secesh,
"but suppose If the - Yankees want to
come down here you can shell the very ID
out of thcm." "Ycs," said our Yankee, "we
can shell the very ID out of them" "Wcll,
that's good, hope we may be able to take
every - Yankee on the coast "Yes,"
was the reply, "we are taking about one sail
n day, and some are pretty fat ones too" BY
this time they had passed through the Inlet
into the Sound. Turning to Mr.. Seccsh he
said, "Do you see that big gunboat to lee
ward well she belongs to us, it is the Stars
and Stripes, the pride of the Southern Yam
kce fleet, and we took her." "Did you!"
said the latter, interupting our Yankee hero,
"Well. that's too - good" "Yes. we
fetched her IN you see" said our Yankee,
turning to Mr.. Seccsh, "about the 2Sth of
August, the - Yankees came down here
and shelled - out of these forts, and
all these gunboats, since that time. have been
here to tow in boats. am one of your -
Yankees! l command that gunboat, and you
DODGE THE BIG ONEs.-A gentleman re-
latcs an anecdote of the Mexican war, which
has never been published:
When the American army was forming
line for the battle of Bucna Vista, General
Lane was riding up and down the line of his
Indiana regiment. The Mexicans had sta
toned some small guns on ncighboring
height, which were blazing away most fari-
ously on General Lanes regiment. But as
their guns were badly ARMED, tho balls in
every case passed over their heads, but sufi-
ciently near to cause the men, as they heard
the peculiar whiz of the balls, to involuntarily
"duck" their heads.
General Lane happened to notice this, and
in his rough, stentorian voice, he bawled out:
"Indiana regiment! No dodging!"
In about five minutes after, the tremendous
whz of a twenty -four pound shot passed close
by the head of the gallant brigadier, and in
an instant involuntarily he bobbed his head.
The men saw this, and commenced tittering
along the line, which the old General saw.
Turning around with sort of quizzical cx-
preston, he thnndcred out:
"Indiana regiment! Dodge the big oncs"
CURE FoR THE EARACHE.-Take small
piece of cotton batting, or cotton wool. max
ing depression in the centre with the end
Of finger, and fill it with as much ground
pepper AZ will rest on FIVE cent piece, gather
It into ball and tie II up. dip the ball into
oil, md insert it into the ear, covering the
latter with cotton wool, and use bandage or
cap to retain it in place. Almost instant re-
lief will be experienced. ard the application
is so gentle that n child will not be injured
by it. but will experience relief as well as
adults.
fVOn account of the high price for cot
ton. and the greater durability Of hemp. the
Post Oiicc is substituting mail bags made Of
hemp for those Of cet:o1. which have been
heretofore wholly used. Parties in New York
city are now furnishing 6.000 bags for the
New York Office. The manufacture Of goods
from hemp has heen brought to high state
of perfection. and the material is perfectly
scrviceable Cor articles Of strong and coarse
icxtur.
