BJr We saw, yesterday, man from
Union county, Ky, on his way from
Johnson's Island, having in his care the
remains of rebel prisoner of war that
recently died on that Island
This Kentuckian had also in his pos
session drawing of the military prison
and charts of the Island and bay, where
the rebel prisoners are kept. We sup
pose it will be of no particular benefit to
the Confederate Government to obtain

From the way this man talked, we
could not help but think six months
residence on that historic Island might
do him good.

"A GALLANT FEAT.

A correspondent Of the Fayetteville Observer,
writing from Fredericksburg, Va, says:
Among the many illusions to individual gallant
ry, see but little mention of North Carolinians,
who deserve such compliments to the full extent
enjoyed by the troops of any other State, the
following incident vii! show. | have not yet
heard of any feat of individual bravery and cool
ness more worthy of admiration or Indicative of
true gailantry and chivary. During the battle
of fredericksburg Serg't Coyington, of the "Pee
Dee Guards" 23d n. C. T., and son of DIR. e. G..
Covington of Rockingham, became separated from
the Regiment and the rest of our army, when, be-
ing unarmed, he met with two armed yankees,
enc of whom Immediately leveled his gun at Cow
lngton who ordered them to surrender and called
out, "Come on boys, here's two more prisoners"
At the same instant he seized one yankees gun,
who surrendered without firing and then pointing
the gun at the other yankee, he laid down his
arms and surrendered also. CoVlngton quickly
marched them off to the regiment, first loading
them with valuables and provisions, the yankees
in the meantime being very ioquisitive as to where
were the "other boys" They had gone some dis
lance before they understood the matter, when
they manifested very bitter remorse and self-re
preach at their own stupidity and cowardice
Sergt Covington was highly complimented for his
gallantry.
The same correspondent also communicates the
following:
Mai. Wharton Of Salem, formerly Capt in 2lst
Regt n G. T., but now commanding the 1st N.
G. Battalion in Gen Hoke's Brigade, was unfor
tunaely captured by the yankees few days ago
have the facts from Gen. r. f. Hoke, who
speaks in the highest terms of Maj. Wharton 1t
seems that Maj. Wharton, ard Sergt Adams OF
Lincoln county, were in canoe in small creek
near where it runs into the river, probably in
search of ducks. The river was very high which
caused more water than usual about the mouth Of
the creek, and as they had to 60 some further
down to get out, a very strong wind blew them
into the channel of the river and with the current
finally threw them on the other side, when the
yankee pckets Immediately took them prisoners
and thew are still retained

When the Road is finished and all claims of
ten louidated the Treasurers account viii probably
show cost of S420, 900, when the actual cost will
probob,r NOT have exceeded $4,000. The various
Bonds and Stocks sold by the Company have been at
discount of e76s es interest paid cash borrowed,

amounting in all TO the of 0lS 90 which has
entered into the of the cost of construction,
making these legitimate deductions will be that
amount less the apparent cost as the accounts are
stated In other words, the work could have been
for that much less had all the of the
Company been cash its equivalent and the running
expenses been kept in separate account Deducting,
however only the operating expenses, and 1t Is esti-
mated that your Road will be completed at cost not
exceeding $4,000. This includes the cost Of the
bridge which will exceed $4,000, depots and water
misunderstanding cost less than $4,000 per mile from
Charlotte to Staesville distance of 453 miles. III
there is a cheaper Road of the same length in the
Confederacy, your Directors do not know the fact.
The Stockholders should also recolect that their road
is not complete in its outfit until it its shops,
ears and engines These it will be impossible pro-
cure in the present condition of the country Upon
the restoration of peace they should command the i'm
mediate attention of the officers of the Company:
Your former Superintendent having resigned, E.
Hurlbert Esq, of Georgia, appointed TO fill the
vacancy. 1t affords pleasure to bear testimony to the
energy and fidelity of Capt. John Rhodes aud the men
under his control Much of the time of his force
employed during last in repairing the serious
damage to the track caused by an extraordinary
eshet besides the general repairs necessary to main

In the unsettled condition OF the country, would
be difficult make any accurate estimates to the
future of your Road. You have the highest guaran

he hoped his friends would soon hear from him.

A sTRANGE sIGHT.

A friend in the Confederate service writes to us
as follows: Whether the phenomena which he
saw were real or the result of some optical Illusion
we cannot say. Our readers judge for them
selves. We know the writer and do not believe
that he would willingly deceive any one:
KINsToN, N. c., Feb. 5th, 1868,
MEssRs. FuLToN & PRIcE.-Gentlemen 1T
has been my privilege along with others, to view
one of the most striking phenomena since the days
of Constantine. The moon rose cloudless. At
little before O'clock, two bright spots, some
twelve degrees in extent were visible, one North
and the other South, and Immediately thereafter
cross was seen in the heavens, the moon joining
the four arms of the cross. About half past eight
o'clock the Northern light went out, but the cross
and the spot to the South remained until past ten
when retired. Can any one tell when the cross
has appeared before since the days of Constantine
when the letters [. Il. S. accompanied the sign.
Yours respectfully, A. B. W.
Our friend has forgotten to mention the night
when the phenomenon to which he refers present
ed ITSELF but suppose it must have been some
time in the first of last week. Can anybody give
us any further information on the subject? Was
it actually cross clearly defined, or was it one of
those fantastic arrangements of the aurora borealis
or of luminous Clouds which suggest almost any
form to lively imagination?- ton Journal
Another correspondent says the phenomenon spoken
of above the evening of the 4th inst
Next to vigorous enforcement of the conscrip-
ton and of the regulations and restrictions con-
corning furloughs and absence, it is important
that the military and civil authorities should agree
in arresting and checking the movements and ope-
rations of the imposters and vagabonds who go
proving about the country in borrowed or stolen
uniforms. The interest and honor of the country
and the service require that all who wear uniforms
should account for their absence from the army.
