EscApE.-As Mr.. SIS. Williamson, Of 154
South Water street, was riding with his wife,
on Saturday evening, on Canal street, between
Lake and Randolph, horse on the opposite
side of the street, led By a groom, quickly
turned and kicked, striking Mrs. Williamson
severe blow above the ankle. Their horse
started and wheeled, breaking the harness and
partially dragging Mr. Williamson over the
front Of the carrlage, at the same instant that
the vicious animal alongside dealt second
blow, planting his heels against the buggy,
oTezturning It completely, and throwing the
occupants on the ground in such position,
that the vehicle passed over them both.
The furious beast suddenly disappeared
from the scene Of his exploits, and the fright
ened carriage horse, breaking from q bYstand
cr, to whoee care it had been committed.
ran come distance before he was caught. Mr.
Williamson escaped with few bruises; Mrs.
Williamson was carried into neighboring
grocery, and, when she Ind recovered con-
sciousness, was taken home. DR.. uollister,
who was quickly in attendance, found that,
happily, no bones were broken, and that
when the intense pain from the kick should
subside, there would be no permanent injury
from the accident.
F1REs.-On Saturday evening, at 91S
| o'clock, the daguerrean rooms Of J. D.
Durncs, 50 Vest Randolph street, were fired

before. The occupants of the building were
first apprised Of the fire by the arrival Of the
Tempest Hose cart, when the flames were cx.
tinguizhed. The damages amount to SO
which is covered by insurance.
On Sunday afternoon, at o'clock, an
alarm was madefor the Third District, caused
by the burning Of q one.story frame building
on Baxter street, in the West Division, which
was owned and occupied as a .match factorJ
by William Driver. The building was burned
down, with loss, including stock, Of $500
which was fully insured.

Gen. BURNSIDE ON VALLANDIGHAM.-An ap-
phcatlon tor wit OF habeas corpus in the case of
Vallandgham, was argued before the U. S. Circuit
Court at Cincinnati on the llth. Gen. Burnside
addressed long communication to the Court, of
which the following is synopsis
lie will use all his power to suppress sedition
In the army, and without doing so there can be no
discipline and no success. Ii an enemy were to
distribute tracts in the army to create sedton, be
would be hung as soon as found guilty, and one
OF our own public men should not be allowed to
do 1t with lmp"nity. In crisis like the present
public men should not encourage sedition, nor aid
in the organization of St cret societies to DESTROY
the Government. In his Department men should
not do this. He will enforce Order No. SO and
leave the consequences to God. No power can
inaugurate war or peace but the United States
Government and 1t must be sustained, and will
be III this Department and he adds too that all
honest men will agree with him. Let the people
change the Administration at proper time and
IN constitutional manner, but not create sedition
IN the army. No one but the soldier il the field
can fully appreciate the Importance of arr ests for
encouraging The enemy. Inc soldiers are sacri-
hcng all upon the altar Of liberty and country. 1t
is folly to talk Of laying down our arms now. No
man proposes to do so unless he likewise intends
10 sacrifice the country" ..4

ing cur sick soldiers in the hospital ut Fairfax,
found her, sore and tattered and unclean. and re.
quested the good sister who has adopted her to
bring her North and take care of her. She will
be treated as this lady's own child, and it is de.
signed to educate her as teacher for her race.
Look upon this child, continued Mr.. Beecber.
and tell me If you ever saw fairer, sweeter
face ? And this child" be added, is a sample
of the slavery which absorbs into itself everything
fair and attractive. The loveliness of this child
would only make her so much more valuable as a
chattel; for while your children are brougtt up
fear and serve the Lord this little one, lust a.
beautiful, would be made, through Slavery, child
of damnation. The whole force of my manhood
revots and raises up in enmity against an insttu-
ton that cruelty exposes such children to be sold
like cattle. cloud applause Look upon this
chlld," he repeated in conclusion, "and take
away with you an impression of her beauty, and
remember to what shocking fate Slavery would
bring her! May God strike for our armies. and
the right, that this accursed thing may be utterly
destroyed" (Renewed applanse.)
Mr.. Beecher then baptsed the child FANNY
VIRGINIA CAssloPLE LAWRENCE, the last name
being that Of the lady who adopted her. He
announced afterward, that although this good
lady was IN moderate circumstances, and was
quite willing to bear, unaided, the burden that
she had assumed, yet if any present desired to
contribute to defray the expense of educating
the child, the privilege would be given. In re-
sponse, at the conclusion of the services, the
donations ere quite liberal. Plymouth Church
is eminently the place of extraordinary incidents,
but probably never before has an episode so
stirred and affected the congregation. s

AFFECTING EPISODE AT PLYMoNTH CHURCH.
Yesterday, at Plymouth Church, was the regu-
lar Sabbath for the baptism of children, and the
delightful Spring morning tempted larger num-
Der of parents than usual to bring their osffprine
forward. Having administered the rite to all but
one of the children, Mr.. Beeeher paused mo-
ment, and, turning to his interested audience,
stated that here was still another child to be chris
tened. Her history, however, contained a moral,
and he should take the liberty of carrying her
upon the platform where all present might look
upon her features. This, preface caused futter
OF increasing interest, which was not abated until
the reverend gentleman had ascended the pulpit
steps, bearing in hts arms little, laughing. eyed,
sweet-.aced, far-haired girl of five years, VIII,
nestled closely against his breast, toying with his
watch-guard, as she timidly met, with her dark,
lnstrous eyes, the concentrated gaze of the now
hushed congregation. In voice tremulous and
ceartul, and in words that touc1ed sympathetic
hord in the hearts of his hearers, Mr.. Beecher

there seems of less consequence than anywhere
else, one gets SO used to it. Let railroad acci-
dent happen, or factory tumble to the ground,
mansling great many, and terrifying numbers
more, and the whole country shudders, but the
same number may be killed and manned in a
brisk skrmish, and the affair is very " brilliant
Such is the acknowledged difference, and it is
we'll that it should be SO. But when the excite
ment is over and we go back to camp and see so
many comrades whose society was our pleasure
missing, we feel very keenly the loss we have sus.
tained
During this fight brave little fellow just to my
right was shot through the neck. The ball cut
the jugular wien and he died Immediately. He
was told that he could not live and asked if he
had any word that be wanted to send to
his friends "Tell tbem," says he, !" that | was
good soldier, and truly he had been one. He
had been with the regiment from the beginning,
and was never excused by the surgeon but five
days during the whole time, and two of those days
was IN consequence of a wound received at Fred.
ericksburg before. The country has had his SER
vices and his life, and more than this no patriot
can give.
Bullets play curious freaks sometimes, and ev-
cry battle has its hair-breath escapes. One fellow
had his gun shot out cf his hands, and another
close by had his life spared because bis gun inter
cepted the bullet. Sergt. Davis of Company E,
was strack in the breast with ball. but an account
book in his pocket was bis life-preserver. Capt.
BaIlou, Company H, had the skin scratched off
his nose by rebel minnie, and that is shooting a

They were old troops. They had plenty of bacon

There were other Vermont regiments in the
fight of Sunday, but none lost SO heavily as the
second. The casualties in this regiment that day
exceeded hundred. 1t is unnecessary for me to
give any names, as you will probably receive a
list more correct than | could give long before
this reaches you. Quite number of officers were
