moving along at q pretty rapid rate;
near Harper's Ferry, the engineer OBJ
served q two-horse ambulance crossing
the track Q short distance ahead. The
engine had Just turned q curve, and
was SO close upon the vehicle that
the train could not be stopped. The
horses had crossed the track. but the
ambulance was just fairly upon it,
when the pilot struck the vehicle be-
tween the front and hindmost wheels.
As strange as it may seem, the horses
we're instantly separated from the am
bulance, and the vehicle was lifted up
and squarely seated upon the bumpers
Of the engine, where il remained until
the train was stopped. The ambu-
lance contained a sick soldier and
four or FIVE officers, none of whom
we're injured in the slightest degree.
The borses also escaped unhurt. 1t
was regarded as one of the most re-
markable escapes on record Wheel

LETTER FROM A UNION LADY.

LIZ In EAA0%4 = ~ 80 @0-N - -
Mn. HARPER:--I am in for the Union,
the Constitution, the emancipation proc
lamatiou and the present administration
10 for Abraham Lincoln and Uncle San;
IN for our Gallia boys, who have left
their homes and families and all that is
near and dear to them by the ties oI
nature, and gone forth in obedience 10
their country's call. brave patriots who
would shed the last drop Of their blood
to save their country from disgrace
/ am Union woman, and despise home
traitors, who claim to be Union men
and at the same time doing all in their
power against the Union and the Gov
eminent, by finding fault with every
effort that is made in trying to crush
this wicked rebellion. These traitors
say we are a ruined nation of people,
the North is whipped, The South will
conquer, aud all this to dishesrten our
brave patriots. who have gone forth to
fight in defense of their country; and
70 heap mountains Of trouble upon their
friends and families at home, these
traitors assert that our brave boys did
not 90 for their country, but for money,
that they are getting big wages, and
want the war to continue so they can
make a fortune. ] will not answer
such twaddle, but 1 think home traitors
should be handed over to the tender
mercies ofour brave boys. who know how
to deal with such towards. Our brave
volunteers need our hearty thanks and
cheers and well wishes; they need our
Union feelings and sentiments, to cor
respond with theirs; they need our
prayers to God in their behalf to up
hold and sustain them at :heir post Of
duty, and then they can go forth with
cheerful hearts. fighting the battles,
knowing that they have good Union
friends at home who will welcome them
back with hearty cheers and kind greet
ings when this rebellion shall have been
put down, and this treason blotted out
Of existence.
l have not gone forth to fight in the
sacred cause of my country, but ]
would freely, and spill the last drop of
my blood If it were necessary and in
my power, but duty and modesty bid
me stay at home and take care of my
family. l have many friends in the
Union army. several cousins, two Of
whom have died in the service, three
brothers, brave patriots, and friend
nearer and dearer than brother or
even father, who is all my dependence
and support, and who is all my hsppi-
ness in this life. Nothing could in
duced me to have given my consent for

years, but the Union cause and the
Government, for it is the best Govern.

EXECUTION OF CAPT. G. A. WEBSTER,
OF THE UNION ARMY, AT RICH
MoED.
From the Richmond Whig, April IL.
EXECUTION AT CAMP LEE.
The execution of G.. A. Webster,
who was sentenced TO death by court
martial, for violation of bis parole Of
honor, took place yesterday at Camp
Lee, near this city. The prisoner held
q commission under the bogus Pier
point Government, and, when first cap.
tured, was released upon parol, but
again took up arms against the COnfed-
crate States, and was a second time
taken. For this military offense he
was condemned to suffer death by
hanging. He was accompanied from
the prison TO the Camp yesterday by
his spiritual advisor, Rev. DR.. Brown,
of the Presbyterian Church, and by
several military officials. The guard
was composed Of Warren's Company
Of cavalry. The prisoner was dressed
in the uniform Of a Federal officer
He was extremely weak from an in
Jury received when he attempted to
make his escape on a recent occasion,
but otherwise seemed to maintain con.
siderable fortitude. On arriving at the
ground, half hour was devoted TO re-
ligious exercise in the carriage, and the
prisoner asked the officer 10 command
to extend his time until three o'clock,
the latest moment allowed by the
terms OF his sentence; but it was not
deemed expedient to grant the request.
He was assisted up the steps Of the
gallows, and seated over the trap, and,
being asked If be had anything to say,
declined to make any remarks. He
gave the signal himself, by dropping a
hat from his hand, and, at twenty
minutes before one o'clock, was
launched into eternity. His death
was almost instantaneous. 1t is about
year since Yankee spy Of the same
name was executed, by hanging, on the
same spot.

A DREAM OF SADNESS.

To-day am sadly dreaming Of the soldiers
far away,
And of the distant battls-felds where thou
sands buried lay;
All there find them scattered, the valient
and the brave,
No tomb or slab to mark them, with scarce q
shallow grave.
There on the field Of battle, without one
friend to weep,
Rests many q wearied soldier in deaths eter-
nal sleep.
No funeral bells are tolling, no tears of sorrow
shed,
No OlOved ones there to linger and look upon
the dead;
The battle strong still raging, regardless of
the slain,
And of the wounded crying, in agony and
pain.
long in silence ponder. while on this scene
And thoughts of deepest anguish within my
bosom swell.
hear them family calling for mother, sister
dear,
To come and stand beside me, for soon win
death appear,
And when the dreadful monster shall marx
ne for his own,
o, hard for me to die here, no friends, but all
alone;
Alone upon the bloody plain, now soon my
life must end,
But o, III trust my saviour, for he's the
soldiers friend.
And while / thus am dreaming, my mind in
silence foams
Unto the weeping loved ones, and desolated
homes;
! see an aged father, sorrowine for his son,
A mother sadly weeping for her darling one;
A Kind and gentle sister, no brother now to
Away upon the battlefield his spirit passed
above.
But still wander further, ah sad the s;ob.
too tell,
To where a weeping mother and helpless
children dwell.
No husband ever coming, no father ever near
No one TO guide and help them, now all il
sadness here;
We hear the children crying for their father
slain,
Who fellwhile in the conflict upon the bloody
plain.
But from this scene l hasten, and ask of one
the cause
OF all this grief and mourning, and bitter
cries and woes;
All! soon thousand answers, from near me
and from far,
Condemn the fendish traitors for this ungOdly
o, may the sword Of justice, held by the Al
mighty's hand,
Soon be waving bright above us. and ne.ee
be in our land.

And III tell him still / love him,

He who fights and runs away

Wigfall seem to have disappeared from
public view altogether, and all such
men as BarnweIl, Miles, Bonham, and
Mcqueen have carefully kept out Of
harms way by going to the Confederate
Congress. Remembering the terribly
savage speeches that these men were
wont to make when in Washington,
their subsequent careful avoidance Of
cold steel and leaden bullets on the
fields Of battle is not surprising. The
fire-eaters OF South Carolina have
mastered the art Of skulking, and the
