CHAPTER ".
THE CAPTIVE FREE.

The neigh of the horse, faint and
distinct, but unmistakable, had come
floating up the ravinc upon the still
night air And though after waiting
many minutes, it was not repeated, it
Ii I'd been so distinct as toeXcludc all

he muttered, "from any other dircc-
ton / could never have heard it,"
And without hesitating for mo-
ment he prepared to go in the direc-
ton indicated. Throwing his blanket
at the foot of the tree, he grasped the
rife, poured fresh powder into the
pan, lest the night air might have af-
fcctcd the priming, and then drew his
belt around so as to bring his knife
convenient to his hand, he set out
cautiously down the ravinc-onc man
in pursuit of more than twenty.
Cautiously and slowly he proceeded
down the bed of the ravine-gradual-
ly descending toward the lower Level
of the river bottom. He was guided
wholly by the little rivulet which tin
kled quietly along his path---fcr tho
dim starlight could not penetrate tho
depth in which he walked; and his
lprogress was consequently very slow
THE way was winding too, and seem
ed almost to run parallel with thu
Mississippi; and it's channel grew deep
Ter and more broken. Other streams
came floating in on either hand, and
at every moment he was compelled
Ito halt and grope his way across til
lgorges. Large trees stood obstinate

 From the point on Morris Island where our troops have gained . foothofd, Sumter can be reached by firing directly oyer Battery Wag- her, end with tbs reduction of the larger, the lesser fOrtless must fall, and the guns of both be turned against the city. But between Sum ter and the city is James Island, which has been strongly fortified in turn by Gen. Beaure- gard, and it remains to be seen how long it can dispute the passage of our Monitors toward the city.
 We indulge in no over-sanguine hopes of immediate success. Undoubtedly the enemy mean to infict all the damage they can, in re- turn for the loss or reduction of Sumter. and the works on Morris Island. But it is certain enough ihat ip the end Charleston is doomed, and if justice is done, not stone will be, left unturned, to mark the. site where the wicked est war and the most unjustifabIe rebellion the world ever saw, was matched.
