Once he rode down to the rebel pick.
cts at Wilson's Greek, dressed as wo-
man, to deliver letter to a suppositious
brother in Prices army. He bears wit
ness to the politeness of the rebel officers
who escorted the lady half way back to
our lines This trip was made because
" the General wanted to know precisely
the position of a part of the rebel lines.
TAPPING THE TELEGRAPH.
After the Surrender of Lexington, said
the Captain, General Fremont suspected
that the telegraph operators between
Hannibal and St. Joseph were disloyal
and had given information to the enemy,
and I was ordered to make an investiga-
ton. The fact is, however, that the
rebels had Ftapped" the wire. A wo-
man in St. Louis told me. She asked me
if knew rebel spy was in town. I
asked her who he was and what he did;
and she replied that he had a telegraph
apparatus on the Hannibal and st. Jo-
seph Railroad, and had told her so. He
was to see her and take her to the thea
tire that evening.
1 told her I would give her fifty dol
lars if she would say, when he came, that
she was sick and could not 90. She
agreed, and I arranged that she should
introduce me as rebel spy from Pillows
camp, which she did. [ Immediately
gained his confidence. We drank wine
and the fool told me everything.
Soon he left the city and 1 took one of
my men with me and off we started after
him.
We found him on the Grand river,
near the railroad, just where he had said.
He had a hut in the brush, where the
telegraPhing operations were carried on.
There were two men-my man and ano-
Fher, We crept up to them, and on a
survey came to the conclusion that we
might not be able to capture them, and
the best way was to shoot them. I shot
my man, but Hale only wounded his. We
rushed up. He made fight. had to
despatch him with my pistol. We got
the telegraph instruments, with twenty
two hundred feet of silk wire, two horses,
and s:xty-fve dollars in money. |
There were also two daguerreotypes.

JEFF. THo1IPsoN's CAMP.

I rode into JEFF. Thompson S camp half
naked, as a crazy man, shouting and
whooping so that the whole camp was
aroused. No better way to get in occur
red to me just then. General Thompson
is much Of gentleman. He caused a
surgeon to examine me, who reported
that l had lost my senses from a blow On
the temple, the mark of which was still
fresh. He said I was quite harmless,
and the General proposed to send me into
the Yankee lines because they could take
care of such a poor fellow better than he.
[ lay down under a wagon, near the
Generals tent, when it came dark, and
listened to hear what 1 could hear.
About midnight a messenger rode in on
a fine horse, and tied it near me. When
he got into the tent, and no one was look
ing, I got on the horse, and having the
best road in my mind, rode out as hard
as 1 could drive, the pickets firing at me,
but without effect; and I got safely in to
make my report

TON


I went into Prices camp when Multi
gan was at Lexington. I had a double
barreued shot gun with both locks brok-
en-, and rode into the camp with numbers
of country people who were focking to
join Price. rode around freely, talking
secession, and very soon saw how things
we're going. 1 could see plainly that
Nulligan was in tight place, and star
ted off to St. Louis as soon as possible,
and gave the information that Mulligan
must surrender. Twelve hours gfter,
news came that he had.
Fremont did all he could to help Null
ligan; but the telegraph Taper" Cwho
was afterwards killed. got a dispatch
which was sent by Fremont, for Sturgis
to move across the river to the support
of Mulligan; and the rebels, having pos
session of our plans, moved against Stur-
.gis and compelled him to fall back.
AN AMUSING EXPLOIT.
Henry Hale, one of the best scouts in
the country, left Leavenworth while
Mulligan was before Lexington, with
dispatches. As he rode along, men from
every direction were going to join Price.
He saw one old secessionist with.a little
shot gun, and thought it would be nice
thing to drive off the old fellow and take
his horse into Lexington. So he enga-
ged the man in conversation, and getting
an opportunity, put his revolver to the
seeessionist's head, ordered him to tie his
gun to the saddle, to dismount, and finally
to " skedaddle." The old man made
tracks rapidly, glad to escape with his
life Hale took the horse by the bride,
and rode on whistling Yankee Doodle"
He had ridden mile or two, when at a
turn of the road, he was suddenly order
ed to halt. The old secessionist had
procured another gun, and got ahead of
him. "Get off that horse" cried the
Hale got down. cite that
revolver to the saddle" Hale obeyed.
@ Pull off your pants. Hale did it.
' Skedaddle" an order which Hale at
once carried into effect, merely saying,
g Well, Cap, thought my shirt would
come next-good bye" The secession
ist went off with the two horses, whist
ling Dixie; while Hale marched seven
miles into Lexington, with only his coat
and shirt on. His coat contained his
He will never be permitted
to forget that seveH-mile march.
