One OF THE Boys-Passengers who came
on to New York with Gen. Fitzpatrick were
attracted toward little fellow in his compa-
ny, evidently quite pet who wore the dress
of the cavalry service, with spurs and trap
pings, and a jacket bespattered with mud,
showing evidence ofhis late adventures among
the rough riders Of Kipatrick's force. Upon
inquiry of the General, the following story of
the lad was told He was born in England,
where his parent. still reside, and came to
this country with an elder brother. who is
now a member of an infantry regiment
in the Army of the Potomac. Taking
fancy to the cavalry service, he man
aged to get a horse, and fell in as a SOL
der. After one of the recent fights. the Cen
eral noticed him grieving over the loss of his
horse. A day or two later, seeing him nesr
his tent, he asked him to do an errapd to his
Adiutant- General When he arrived at MS
destination, the officer asked. - Whoare you,
sir?n g Aid de-Camp to Gen. Fitzpatrick,
sir" was the promptteply. Now, our young
hero had made his point. lie was at once
adopted into the military family of the Gen:
eral who assured the writer that no man in
his command would better convey an order
upon the field. At the battle of Gettysburg he
took himself three prisoners, one being ~ery
tall, his head. while standing. being as high
as the head of the young cavalryman seated
upon his horse. Bringing his prisoner to
headquarters, confronting the General. he
says: General, whatdo you think oftAat2"
He has been in several battles with his IA
vorite General, who in turn now proposes to
give his gallant and faithful young friend 9
good education. He is small Ct his ags,
which is IA, and his name is Charley"

A sharp shooting duel at Vicksburg is re-
lated in this wise: lover on our left in Gen.
McClernand's army corps. there is partic-
ular range Of rife pits, confronted by similar
ones occupied by the rebels, that are con
structed with log in front of each, which
has in it port holes, SO that the sharp shooters
in the pits can aim and FIRE his piece without
raising his head above the log. About a
week ago one of our sharp-shooters, who
prided himself upon being a particularly good
shot. commenced firing at the port hole of his
rebel adversary. and the rebel accepted the
challenge thus rendered They fred at each
others port holes unsuccessfully for two or
three DAYS. Finally. however, the rebel got
the hetter of the duel. for he succeeded in
sending lead through the port hole of our
sharp shooter just as he was peering through
and it instantly killed the brave fellow. The
incident created something of a sensat on in
that part of our lines, and is well authentica-

: How SOLDIERS DEAL WITH REBEL RAIL
RoAps.-A letter from Gen. Grants to the
Springfield (IlD Journal, describing the re-
cent operation of our forces near jackson,
says:
Our operations on the railroad were of a
novel character The regiment would. be
formed in line on one side of the road, and
and at the commacd every man would take
hold on the end of a tie or rail, and straight
ening up, would literally lift the track from
its bed, completely capsizingit. Then pilng
the ties together and setting them on fire,
we laid the rails across the top, rendering
them unfit for future use.

This Governor Seymour Democratic paper
in New York. before the election in Kentucky,
classed the Wicklife ticket as the Democrat.
ic, and the Union as the Republican. The
ticket which it classed as Republican was
elected by majority of some $4,000. Ac-
cording to the logic of the New York World,
the State Of Kentucky is Republican by that
immense majority, and according to the log
ic of some of the Copperhead papers and can
didates in California; they have of late be-
come Kentucky Republicans. They assert
that the Union victory in Kentucky was aon
on platform similar to the one patched UT
by the Copperheads in fhis State, and that the
triumph Of tie Union cause in Kentucky was
substantially a Union Democratic victory.
We are told that ieler in his speeches labors
hard to prove that he is standing on the Ken
lucky Union platform, and that he and those
with whom he is associating are as good
Union men as those in Kentucky who gave
Bramlette sc, 600 majority over Wicklffe, and
WON the Democratic New York World PRO
nounces Republicans. If, therefore, Bigler,
Weller & Co., are standing cn the Eents czy
Union platform, they must be Republicans,
as the Union men of tnat State are called by
the World. We congratulate Bigler. Wei
Ter & Co., upon the evidence presented that
their political souls ARE marching on. y
