A SINGULAR INCIDENT.

Our correspondent I. writing from the
9Th Army Corps opposite Fredericksburg,
narrates the following, which occurred on
Christmas day while the writer was out on
picket with his company:
After partaking OF Christmas dinner
of salt junk and hard tack, our attention
was attracted by a rebel picket who hailed
MS from the opposite side of the river.
II say Yank ii fellow goes over there
will you let him come back again?
Receiving an affirnitive answer, he pro-
ceeded to test the truth of it by padding
himself across The river lie was deci-
dedly the cleanest specimen of "a rebel |
had seen. In answer te a question, he
said he belonged to the Georgia Legion.
One of our boys remarked, Il met quite
number ofyour boys at South Mountain
Yes, | suppose so-if you were there,
said the rebel while his face grew very
sad. aWe left very many Of cur boys
there. My brother poor Will, was killed
there. 1t was very hot place for awhile,
and We had to leave in a hurry. That so
Georgi', your fellows fought we'll there,
and had all the advantage, but the old
Keystone boys were pressing you hard.
By the way have likeness here. taking
it out his pocket that | picked up on
the battle field the next morning, and
have carried it ever since.--He handed it
to the rebel, who looked at it pressed it to
his lips, exclaiming '.My mother! my
motherr' He exhibited considerable
emotion at the recovery of the picture, but
on regaining his composure he said that
his brother had it in his possession, and
must have lost it in the fight. He then
asked the name of the one to whom he was
indebted for the likeness Of his mother
reularking. There may be better times
soon, and we may know each other better
He had taken from his pocket small
pocket bible, in which to write the address,
when Alexwho had taken no part in
the conversation, fairly yelled. 81 know

He passed it to me. I opened it, and oil

said '.it's not often one has the same gift

= DIR. RADWAY'S PILLS.
TO ALL OTHERS.

Purgative medicines, as used by Phys
icians, and prepared in accordance with
the American and European Pharmaco
peias, and all Purgative Pills, during their
operation, weaken the patient. In cases
Of yellow Fever, Fever and Ague, Ty-
phus, typhoid Scarlet Fever, Small Pox,
Measles, Erysipelas, and many other dan
eerous diseases, purgation, which. is in
fact highly essential becomes dangerous,
from the fact that the purgatiye medicines
and pills Of the old system produce too
sudden depletion of the vital powers, and
waste of the body. RBDWAY'S REG
ULATING PILLS provide against this
difficulty. The medicinal properties of
their composition possess wonderful un-
tritious powers Six of RAILWAYS
PILLS will impart as much nourishment
to the blood, and strength to the wasting
body, as one ounce Of the best wheat -four;
so that in all eases where purgaton is re-
quired, RADWAY'S PILLS will, in less
time than any other medicine, secure an
evacuation, and, at the same time, nourish
and strengthen the system This peculiar
power is possessed alone by RADWAY'S S
REG ULATING PILLS.
In attacks of Biliousness, Inflammation
of the Bowels, Liver, Kidneys, a dose of
from six to eight of
RADWAY'S REGULATING PILLS,
will, in few hours, restore the patient to
ease and comfort. Therei is no purgative
medicine in use, that will cure these com
plants SO quick as RADWAY'S PILLS
Persons subject to Costiveness. Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Jaundice
Liver Complaint, Apoplexy, Headache
should take two or three of these PILLS
once or twice week. Price 25 cents pei

adopted, is to enter Lake Providence 10

Macon Bayou, which from the iTexsas
